I love grabbing an assortment of baked goods (scones, X roll, focaccia, muffins, chocolate chip cookies) whenever I'm going up to wine country and I need a snack for the road and in between tastings because I know Arizmendi is always a crowd pleaser. When I'm not buying enough pastries to feed a small army, I will stop in on a random afternoon to grab a slice of their pizza of the day (always vegetarian and always delicious). If you're in need of a quick bite or want to bring home a (sub-$10) loaf, stop by Arizmendi! read more

I've been to both the Sunset and Mission District locations of Arizmendi Bakery. One thing I always pick up is their chocolate chip cookie--it's my favorite. The cookie costs $3.25, which is quite reasonable, especially since it's larger than most cookies at other bakeries. It's also not too sweet, which I like. A simple treat, but consistently good. read more

I LOVE the pastries here! My all time favorite would be an oat scone for how savory, crunchy, filling and earthy it is. Cheese focaccia bread was okay, not a standout to me. Spinach feta croissant was acceptable. The place is more like grab and go with some indoor seating and outside benches. Always busy on weekends. BRING CASH or they charge a 2% fee on credit cards. Coffee is mid. read more

Really liked the pizza of the day. Very rich and flavorful cheese, which I loved, although the pizza was a tad too salty with all the olives. It was a bit too flavorful to be super kid friendly but I appreciated it. Also tried the corn and blueberry muffin which was fluffy, soft, and quite sweet. read more

I looooove arizmendi and cheeseboard! Came here for a hot pizza a couple days ago and also got some cheese rolls and a loaf of sourdough. Service was quick and friendly and inside is very clean. Highly recommend stopping by whenever you can and this store is open on Mondays unlike the other locations! read more

What a fabulous place that is now on my must visit list when I am in San Francisco! This is a superb bakery with a big heart. It is a worker-owned co-op that has a big focus on community. There is a huge variety of breads, muffins, pastries, etc. to choose from (self service) along with great coffee (Mexican Mocha - ay, ay, ay! ). The wife and I shared a vegan spinach potato poblano focaccia and cinnamon pecan roll. Both were wonderful! There are not a whole lot of places to sit and eat, but it seems like most folks were just doing a grab & and go anyway (it was a Monday morning), so we were able to grab a seat pretty easy. read more

Arizmendi Bakery - Pizza of the day - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

This SF staple is known for its freshly baked breads/pastries, its connection to the LGBT community, and its daily soups and vegetarian flatbreads (one offering per day; I refuse to call it a pizza because a pizza it is not). The line is precariously long at times, so be sure to come here during off hours (which you'll be hard pressed to find), but also be aware that they sell out of things quick. The items we got included: a red velvet cookie (really moist, but no chocolate, so it was a bit of a bummer); jalapeno cheddar pumpkin seed breadsticks (good, but I would have wanted more cheese flavours); the daily flatbread (completely fine, but because it didn't have any sauce, it was a bit dry for my liking); the daily soups (ginger carrot today; good flavours, but super viscous and gloopy - it was good to dip the daily flatbread into). Overall, a fine smattering of offerings, it just left me feeling like Shania Twain - Arizmendi don't impress me much. read more

What afantastic bakery! The Mexican chocolate coffee was sweet and spicey with the mild chocolate flavors delicately balanced with the righteousness h coffee and spices intermingling nicely. I had a Chai tea with a shot of espresso and ot was good. Honestly, the spices could have been stronger, but it was still nice. We also had the short bread and it was rich and sweet. Our final choice was the sticky sweet pecan cinnamon roll. For me, this was the high point from the bakery. I love the whole Co-Op ideology behind this spot. The power that gets transferred back into the community is a great example of how to reinvigorate a community. I hope you stop in and give this spot a try, and if you haven't been in a while, you definitely need to come back. Also, I hope this spot continues on for many, many years to come! read more

We stopped into Arizmendi Bakery on a Sunday morning and there was a line out the door. I was only planning to grab coffee but once I got inside, I couldn't resist the incredible selection of baked goods. I chose the Apple Fig Scone, which had the absolute perfect texture and touch of sweetness. For coffee, I got a Dirty Horchata, which was incredible. Horchata coffee drinks are often too creamy and not strong enough, but this one got it right. Service was friendly and efficient. Would happily return to try more items! read more

This is very popular place in locals. They have casual self service setting. They usually have Pizza of the day concept. We got basic pizza - homemade tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella and basil. I always love this type of pizza so it worked for us. You must try green salsa with your pizza . It is garlic cilantro based salsa which gives spicy kick to your pizzas. Pizza is bit too oily for my taste. But overall a must try. There was a long line so obviously very popular pizza ! read more

The ambiance felt like home. A large open space with pastries lining the wall as you walk in. Self service with to-go bags and fresh items. The cashier was efficient with the line & the product was very unique. I got a bread with eggs, spinach and mozzarella. I walk by this place all the time and the vibes in the outside seating area are top notch. The rotating pizza menu is something to look forward to and seems like a hit. I also got a mocha with almond milk that was so good. A little on the sweet side but ultimately a comfort drink perfect for the cold front in the city. read more

I was never a fan of focaccia bread until I came to arizmendi. They have such inventive flavors and it changes often. It tastes so good! It's like a little pizza square with all their toppings. I also get their blueberry cornmeal muffin for breakfast the next day. Chef's kiss! read more

Super nice and friendly staff, quick service, and best pizza and salsa verde sauce in town. A must visit. You can get a parbaked pizza half or full to finish at home so it's not overcooked. We are a regular here! read more

The pizza was the show stopper here. Super well seasoned and warm and the crust had good structure, the jalapeños cheddar stick was more flavor but too hard for my liking. The bread pudding was not as nice as I thought, too soggy but the flavor was good and strong. The blueberry swirl light and classic. Not much searing if at all inside but there are some seats outside. Besides the pizza everything is just taken by yourself and then the pizza they warm up and give pretty promptly. read more

I was in search of a sourdough loaf during my brief visit to the city and came an hour before they closed. This is a self-service bakery where you can select and bag your choice of pastries/breads. I got a city sourdough round for $5. I liked how their items were reasonably priced for the quality. Will be back to try the pizza! Also-- there is a credit card fee for purchases under $10. read more

We visited on a warm Sunday afternoon during Carnaval. Welcoming atmosphere with cute outdoor seating in a parklet and almost no seating inside. Wide selection of baked goods. We had amazing vegan squash foccaccia with a surprising peppery "kick", a generously portioned chocolate mint cookie and a tasty berry bread pudding. Service was fast and efficient for takeaway, perfect for strolling with our treats to pop into vintage clothing stores and soak in Sunday vibes! read more

My favorite bakery in the area! Recommend to go earlier so there's more pastries available. Last week I went around 2pm on a weekday. I was surprised there's still some pastries available, so I grabbed the currant scone, chocolate mint cookie, lemon ginger turmeric shortbread, cheese roll, and artichoke hearts cheese focaccia. My friends got a key lime pie, a chocolate filled bun, and an olive bell pepper bread. 1. currant scone - balanced sweetness from the currant and some sugar, tasty scone. 2. vegan chocolate mint cookie - it doesn't look minty but it is very minty. not a bad cookie if you love chocolate mint flavor! 3. lemon ginger turmeric shortbread - this one was ok, i enjoyed it for what it was but it wasn't the best item i got today 4. cheese roll - after heating it up, it is very delicious. good savory roll that's crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside 5. artichoke hearts cheese focaccia- very tasty but i wish the artichokes were distributed more evenly on the bread 6. key lime pie - the crust is more of a sandy texture. a tasty pie regardless 7. chocolate filled bun - the bun is more on the sweeter side, a bit like a dinner roll texture 8. olive bell pepper bread- i don't remember the exact name of this bread but it was really good. it's like the cheese roll but with extra flavors (if you don't like olive tho you probably won't like this bread) This bakery to me is more grab and go since there's not a ton of seating inside. The people working there are always very friendly so I enjoy coming here. I have more pastries that i've had from them that i love. Shall update this review in the future. read more

Finally got the chance to try the pizza slice here and it was so delicious! I've seen this place so much so when I got the craving for pizza I knew I had to check it out. They had a mushroom, ginger, lemon, sesame type pizza the day I went and it was cooked perfectly. The flavors went so well together and it was a perfect lunch. I also got a blueberry roll and that was good but not a mind blowing pastry. I had a bite of my friends croissant and that was really good so I'll have to come back to try their pastries too! Overall a great place to grab a quick bite in the mission. read more

I always end up working near a arizmendi which I think at this point is just kismet lol. Their pizza in my opinion is outta this world, it has a perfect balance of TMNT vibes and a New York slice, I can eat the crust and normally I hate crusts (I know I'm a child) anyway! Their baked pastries are yummy and not overly sweet or overdone, I feel like I'm going to a medieval bakery in a castle monastery once upon a time ago and eating good quality and simple baked goods. I'm about it. Coffees good and usually the long lines go down quick, they're on the ball. I will always be a patron here. The space itself is awkward but it just means they have more room in their baking area which doesn't bother me at all and they have that weird mountainous parklet thing in the front that you could soak up the sun while sippin and nibblin..maybe ponder idly if you really need anything from that dollar rack (thrift shop right next door haha) read more

I feel like we just must have gone too late in the day or not picked the right items. Every review is raving about this place and we have heard good things but we were underwhelmed. On the plus side, they have vegan options that are clearly labeled, they have cool seating outside that is art in itself, and the stay is friendly and quick. On the down side we got both the vegan blueberry scone and the peanut butter cookie and both were pretty dry and the flavors were muted. They werent bad, persay, but both the texture and flavores were not as amazing as I was expecting. It may have been that we were too late in the day and they just weren't fresh but it left me a little disappointed. read more

3 stars for the baked goods. Rating would be higher if this location didn't have the most miserable staff. I pop in often and they are either moaning and groaning about a coworker, or bloody miserable at the till. Sometimes it feels like they're understaffed and of course I get the frustration. Other times there are plenty of people working and still the most miserable people. read more

Arizmendi is a uniquely inexpensive place to get quality bread in the Mission. Rather than focusing on sweets like other bakeries, the stuff they have here is mostly plain and savory bread, perfect for taking home. What really keeps me coming back, though, is the pizza slices. They only make one kind of pizza each day, which they post to their website. But there's no need: each pizza I've had has featured a delicious, creative, and often salty concoction of vegetarian toppings. The pizza slices are fresh thanks to their fast pace of business, and you can get a slice very quickly. Not to mention they're less than $4! read more

This place never misses. Was visiting the city and was craving pastries and pizza. A weird combination but it somehow works. Got there around 11:30 on a Sunday and the line wasn't too bad. They were already out of a few items like their cherry scones and English muffins so tried other items like their molasses cookie, current scone, and a blueberry corn muffin. They had a poblano pizza of the day. Service was friendly and efficient. Love that they still serve an additional half slice of pizza with your order. The pizza was nicely balanced: the crust crispy, the cheese had a pull and saltiness that blended perfectly with the pepper, and the toppings didn't fall off the slice. The molasses cookie tasted like the famous Disneyland gingerbread cookie. Biting into it was like a hug of fall/winter flavors. The muffin was moist and fluffy. The scone was not overly sweet and currents were so delicious. They have a few tables/benches inside for seating as well as benches outside. Because it's so busy, most people don't camp too long at the tables and they clean after themselves. It's a nice vibe. Arizmendi was one of my go-to bakeries in the mission when I used to live in the neighborhood and it's nice to see that they are still going strong especially after the pandemic. read more

Arizmendi Bakery is an iconic SF pastry, bread, and pizza spot - it's a must stop for any visitor! An extra plus: they're worker-owned. I was in the city for Fleet Week, and decided to try it out for the first time. There was a pretty long queue so it was a good sign :P Things to know: they sell one type of pizza, and it changes every day. The pizza I tried had red onions, and peppers - I thought it was pretty tasty! I loved how it also came with a mini slice of pizza to, super unique lol. As for their pastry items, you grab it yourself by the entrance as it's displayed in an encased area. I didn't think this was that great mostly for sanitary reasons, but definitely convenient for grab and gos. Seating is pretty limited here so it'd be best for a quick stop! read more
