The Best Sourdough in Its Home of San Francisco

"I found Acme Bread Company began in 1983 when Steven and Suzie Sullivan started supplying Bay Area restaurants and markets with artisan loaves; it now operates two retail shops — the original Berkeley location and a storefront in San Francisco’s Ferry Building — and supplies dozens of restaurants, including Chez Panisse. The bakery has grown from four original breads to over 100 varieties, all made with 100% organic flour and many locally sourced ingredients. Committed to sustainability, Acme powers its main bakery with solar panels, fuels its delivery trucks with renewable diesel, and donates or repurposes leftover bread to minimize waste." - Natalie Zimmerman
