Cheese Board Collective Bakery and Cheese Shop

I didnt like cheese roll, especially the unmelted cheese part. The blueberry muffin was very American style. You will like this place if u like American bakery taste but if u looking for French bakery style pastry this is not a place for u u will be disappointed

The Cheese Board is a co-op that started as a cheese store, but now also has a beloved bakery and pizzeria (next door). If you are visiting Berkeley, you must stop by the Cheese Board. The bakery is one of the best all-around bakeries in the area -- other places in the East Bay may specialize in a certain type of baked good, but the Cheese Board can make everything well (especially if it has cheese!) If stopping by for the bakery, you must try the signature cheese roll. Otherwise, there is a rotating selection of breads and pastries, some of which were "invented" in house and have special names (wolverines, zampanos, chocolate things, etc.). The bakery items are continually made throughout the day. While waiting in line for the bakery, you can also get a selection of cheese and prepared sauces. The $25 Adventure Bag contains a good choice of random cheeses, and the green hot sauce is also tasty as a condiment/dip. You can buy par-baked pizzas to finish baking at home. The pizzas are always vegetarian and change every day. If you're just visiting, you can get a baked pizza at the pizzeria next door instead. The pizza is the best pizza in Berkeley. Everything you can buy here is delicious. You can't go wrong with any of the food choices. --- For first time visitors or a casual stop, I recommend buying a cheese roll, seeded baguette, and any pastry that tickles your fancy. For a more substantial amount of food to bring home, I recommend a pizza, a 6-pack of English muffins, the green sauce, and a cheese Adventure Bag. The green sauce usually goes well on the pizza.

This is the best cheese store and bakery around. Just the smell of everything when you walk in is amazing. Everything here is excellent, but especially the cheese rolls and sticky buns.

Staff here are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. A great variety of cheeses are available here, with 3 flavors available to try each week. They offer plentiful amounts of sheep and goat cheeses as well more common cheeses as well. Service is quick but doesn't feel rushed. Store is very clean and well presented. Great stuff.

Indoctrinating person behind the counter. Baguette was great when fresh, the country batard bread turned into dry powder in a couple days. (Partially) whole-wheat sourdough breads from other bakeries taste much better and last longer. Will not buy here again

We got the rosemary puff, cheese roll, bialy, and zámpano. It was so delicious. Make sure to check their weekly and daily schedules. UPDATE: The Asiago olive roll is the best thing ever. They host a diverse variety of live musicians who sound great, and the crowds love it.

Quintessential and historic Berkeley pizza place. Live music. Always a great place to relax. People watch and interact with life as it passes by.

I'm a big fan of good quality cheese. I found that store online. I couldn't wait to go there to check out their selections. I had my emotional support animal with me, just like every other time when I go grocery shopping. He's allowed in any grocery store and restaurants. This store refused to let us in. I haven't found any pet policy on their website. I was very disappointed. That never happened to us before. Made me very uncomfortable being treated like this. I'm surprised things like this can happen in Berkeley California.
