Truly one of the best local bakeries in the Bay Area with variety and quality. I love coming to arizmendi to see the pizza of the day and bring friends/family here when they visit. They even do fun seasonal menu items like king cake for Mardi Gras and pies. read more

Some of the best pastries in the city, but some of the most racist/prejudice staff. Been going for years, but every time I go I'm always accused of stealing an extra cinnamon roll. They even have a few staff members who've gone far enough to squeeze my bag, thereby squeezing my food, to verify I didn't steal. I'mma still keep going bc this is my neighborhood, but I won't ever tip them. Being on Valencia street they clearly cater to yuppies and not locals. read more

I've heard wondrous things about Arizmendi Bakery, and I am a big fan of bakeries that also serve a pizza slice-of-the-day. The line around noon wasn't too bad, and it moved quickly since most people in line knew the drill and had their items ready to go. I ordered the slice-of-the-day, which turned out to be a mushroom + spinach + mozzarella combo. I placed my order at the counter and was handed a hot slice of pizza about five minutes later. I was fortunate to land one of the limited seats inside the bakery, although, there was also plenty of bench space in the parklet outside. The pizza crust was thin and crispy - with just the right amount of chew - and tasted slightly of sourdough. Topping-wise, the mushrooms were abundant but not overpowering; however, I wish there had been other vegetables to balance out the flavor. Paying less than $5 for a generously-sized slice (adorned with a mini slice on top) felt like a bargain, especially in SF. I would definitely make the trip back out here to give the pizza another try and to pick up some of the other baked goods. read more

Stood in short line that went quickly on a Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately in the carts, several bakery items were out, understandably since it's the afternoon. Service was quick. Staff very friendly and upbeat. It's a popular place. The olive bread was a hit. The pizza for $4.25 is outstanding. There are benches outside or you can walk around the area. Parking is street parking and is sparse. read more

Ambiance: A wide variety of options bakery located in the Mission District with a whole list of options of baked pastries and bread with bags and self serve stations before checking out. There is both indoors and outdoors seating with plenty of lighting and space to for customers staying around to enjoy the scenery. Wait time: There was a little line but it moved quickly and service was quick while standing in line. Two registers and lines to check out from as well. Service: Quick and friendly staff when going through check out queue. Food: The spinach and feta croissant was extremely well made with a slight hint of lemon to boost the flavor of the feta inside the croissant. I personally would have preferred a little more color on the croissant and crispier exterior but overall very tasty. Mexican Chocolate muffin was a nice size for the price of the muffin. However, I felt that the level of spice from the cayenne was a little overpowering and drowned out some of the chocolate notes. Overall, A very delicious bakery with good pastries and a lot of options to choose from. Staff extremely friendly and service quick. An easy to get to and plentiful option bakery for everyone. read more

My wife loves Arizmendi Bakery. I do too but have been on low carb diet so shy away from pastries these days. Their pizzas, scones, cookies, pecan Danish are our favorites! Love the fact they are a coop owned by the workers. Their products show the dedication to the business. We usually go to the one on 9th avenue in the sunset but today we are in the mission so came here. They have a slightly different variety of baked goods so a nice change from the other location. Great outdoor seating area to enjoy the sweets we just bought. read more

Stopped into Arizmendi for a quick coffee and pastry and quickly understood the hype. The bakery is packed with breads, pastries, muffins, and scones, and browsing the cases feels a bit like a treasure hunt with so many great options to choose from. I went with a blueberry scone and an Americano. The scone was fresh and loaded with blueberries, and the coffee was smooth and well-made. There are a few seats inside if you want to enjoy your order there, but this is more of a grab and go spot. Looking forward to coming back and trying more. read more

If I'm ever in the mission I'm always going to arizmendi. The carrot cake and blueberry muffin were calling my name. Carrot cake is always my go to tbh! But they were both delicious.

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

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

Went on a weekday morning for my morning pastry fix. I've been trying to get back here for quite some time now on my visits to the city. Street parking was easy on a weekday compared to previous visits on a weekend. There was no line in a Monday morning, making it easy to take my time looking at all the baked goods on offer to make my selections. The pumpkin seeds and cheese breadstick is one of my faves. I supplemented this with a moist bread pudding muffin and a strawberry and ginger scone which had the perfect amount of ginger so that it was not overwhelming. Love coming here when I'm in town. Friendly service and nice variety of baked goods to start the day. read more

Been to other Arizmendi's location, but haven't had it in years! I got their slice of pizza of the day. They only serve vegetarian. Loved it. It had pesto drizzle and seasonal squash. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was heated up and crispy. Really hit the spot. I don't leave near one, so this one is nostalgic and a treat. 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

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 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

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

My kids love coming here after their dentist appointment. They always get the fresh pizza, what ever the flavor/ topping it is. I have found myself pretty lucky because we've always found parking here (metered). The line is almost always out the door but it moves very quickly. They have a cute bench/ bleacher set up outside to enjoy your treats in the warm SF sun. It is self service so my kids line up while I pick out our baked goods to take home. 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

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

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 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

wow wow WOW! my bf and i were taking a walk in the city in hopes of discovering more local shops and small businesses and that's when we came across arizmdndi! the initial attraction came from the smell trailing down valencia, it was sweet with a hint of savory from the pizza. this bakery is unique because they had shortbreads from my boyfriends childhood which he had told me he only liked in mexico along with some other traditional mexican baked goods. my personal favorite was the chocolate chip cookie, it sounds basic but this cookie had hints of abuelita chocolate and even a hint of espresso. maybe i'm tripping but that thing was hitting fs! can't wait to come back :) 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.

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

Arizmendi Bakery - salsa verde on the za lol - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

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 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
