Arizmendi Bakery, San Francisco, California, Bakery Restaurant Details

Food:

Came here expecting only a few choices for pizza. Turns out they have a similar system to Cheeseboard over in Berkeley. Except they only have one flavor all day. There's usually a long line but don't be intimidated by it. The line goes pretty quick. If you want pastries and such, you bag them yourselves and pay at the register. Prices are fair. I'd say it's up to you if the taste of their items are worth your money.

Food:

Rated in Yelps top 100 places to eat in the USA (2015), this bakery really is that good. It's serve yourself style, and everything looks amazing. The provolone olive bread is a winner.

Food:

Really great things: focaccia pizza (in the cabinet, not the made-to-order stuff), chocolate um, muffin? Brownie? Not the vegan thing.

Good things: The made-to-order pizza. Haven't tried the bread but it's probably at least good.

Not so good things: cookies -- they're dry. The vegan chocolate mint one tastes toothpasty and the texture is no good. Like an old meringue.

The line is silly and there's never enough seating. People with a coffee will hog an entire table. Or with just water, even! Also, too many noisy kids.

Food:

I legit think the pizza here is the best in the city! seriously! unbelievable and quite affordable. Both this location and the one in the mission can have long lines but they move quickly and the wait is worth it!

Food:

There is something so satisfying about walking through the door into a collective bakery; when bread and politics are good, the stars align. I really enjoy everything they serve, from sweets to a slice of the daily pizza or the focaccia with tomatoes and olives, but be fore warned, they use oil liberally. There probably isn't a lot there for someone on a low-fat diet.

Food:

Amazing" fresh-out-of-the-oven breads, "the best scones ever" and "tantalizing" pastries (including vegan/gluten-free "goodies) tug at the heartstrings of the socially conscious carb lovers drawn to these individually run "hippie-dippy" Bay Area bakeries; there's no decor and only limited seating, but expect quick-moving lines of people queuing up for a cup of fair-trade joe and generous slices of daily vegetarian pizza that never fails to be deliciously interesting.
