Arizmendi San Rafael Bakery & Pizzeria

Welcome to Arizmendi San Rafael, your worker-owned neighborhood cafe. We are here to enhance the lives of our customers, empower workers, and foster sustainable business in our community. All of our artisan crafted baked goods are prepared from scratch with joy and care. We proudly bake organic breads, morning pastries, cookies, seasonal pizza and serve freshly brewed locally roasted coffee. It is our mission to share our love of baking with you in the most delicious, affordable, and nourishing way possible.
Berkeley's gourmet institution, the Cheese Board, is the model and inspiration for our products and our way of doing business. The Cheese Board is a founding member of the Arizmendi Association, which also includes five bakeries, all dedicated to serving our communities top-quality products and creating locally-rooted jobs. Each bakery is a cooperative owned by its crew of artisan bakers.

Our pizza recipes come from the Cheese Board, other Arizmendi bakeries, and our very own bakers which have won numerous awards for their thin sourdough crust and distinctive topping combinations. We offer a single style of pizza each day based on matching seasonal vegetables, gourmet cheeses and seasonings. In addition, we are now also offering cheese pizza daily made from our housemade tomato sauce, Mozzarella, and organic thin sourdough crust.
We offer daily pizzas hot or light-baked for you to finish baking at home. Stay tuned for our daily Facebook posts with our scone, pizza, and breads of the day or check our website arizmendi-sanrafael.com

We serve award-winning Equator Coffees and Teas, roasted right here in San Rafael. Equator is committed to ecological sustainability and fair pricing throughout the supply chain. We use Strauss Creamery and Humbolt Creamery for all our coffee drinks. Our eggs are harvested on cage-free Glaum Ranch outside of Santa Cruz. Most of our breads and pizza base are made with organic wheat flour. The original, decades-rich Cheese Board sourdough starter lives on in our kitchen and gives our breads and pizza their distinctive and beloved flavor.
