This Inner Sunset neighborhood co-op, affiliated with Berkeley's Cheese Board, just may ruin you for any other bakery. They bake a wide range of breads, with a whole list of specials every day. They turn out specialty scones and muffins all baked with tender loving care. Kids love the crispy and cheesy bread sticks. If it's more than just a snack you're looking for, join the throngs filing in from the far reaches of the city for a slice or four of Arizmendi's famous pizza. They top each one with a different combination of the freshest of locally raised veggies and the creamiest of specialty cheeses every day. Have a good meal!
Arizmendi's baking culture is an extension of the cooperative itself: a mix of idealism and pragmatism. While most bakeries emphasize the fluffy and the sweet, we specialize in baked goods that brim with flavor and savory goodness, AND pack the kind of nutrition you need to get through your day. Our bakers make a range of breads, muffins and pastries--including our famous "wolverines" and cheese rolls--whose aromas have been known to practically make folks float into our stores, just like in an old-fashioned cartoon. We also serve our award-winning sourdough pizza with different fresh seasonal ingredients every day - by the slice or the whole pie, or parbaked for you to take home and finish in your own oven.
Bakery offering from-scratch desserts, including custom layer cakes, cupcakes, cookies and pies.

Don't let the drab decor of the Moscow and Tbilisi Bakery Store fool you; it has some of the most colorful pastries and salads in town. Try the oversized piroshkis (particularly the mushroom-filled) and the larger-than-life hamentashen (apricot or poppyseed), and you'll understand why this place doesn't need to advertise.
