Acme Bread Company - Berkeley, CA

I think that the bay area has some of the countries best bread bakeries. Of course the classic " San Francisco Sour Dough" but just a regular plain epi can be a sinful delight, I think it's in the water. But Acme Bread Company. in Berkeley, CA is a truly extraordinary place, under the spell of the water or not.

On the approach , the aromas of freshly baking breads and pastries will start your mouth watering. The bakery and items are rustica style, with a small cramped service area, you occasionally will wait outdoors before a spot opens up inside. Acme Bread was begun by a former baker for Chez Panisse and now has three outlets in the Bay Area.

The bakery area is also small, with no space wasted for either working areas or storage. Shelves line the walls, stacked with baskets and moulds for artisan style breads. Supplies for the next shift being loaded and the latest finished batches being loaded in trucks, vans and the shops shelves.

Staff is always pleasant.

Great bread.
