Arizmendi Bakery
3265 Lakeshore Ave, Oakland, CA
Crema's Take
“This beloved cooperative bakery is a Oakland institution where the daily-rotating menu keeps regulars coming back for exceptional pizzas, buttery pastries, and house-made soups at prices that feel almost too good to be true. The vibe shifts seamlessly between quick grab-and-go stops and leisurely afternoons, making it equally perfect for a rushed lunch or settling in with a coffee and pastry. What really sets it apart is the genuine care baked into everything—from their famous cheese rolls and savory croissants to thoughtful details like clearly posting their schedule so you know what treasures await each day.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Pastries and light food on the menu.
