Artisan bakery offering organic sourdough, pastries, and sustainable practices
"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
"I always want a thin-crust bread for my sandwiches. I asked Steve Sullivan from Acme Bread if he could experiment making a pizza bianca from whole grains, and he said he’d try. He and I, by the way, have had the best rapport during the pandemic. He will make a loaf of bread and leave it on my front porch. Then I’ll leave him a bottle of wine or a love letter. It’s just so nice to have that connection."
"Steve Sullivan, busser and baker at Chez Panisse from 1975 to 1983 and founder of Acme Bread Co. in Berkeley." - ByElyse Inamine
"A renowned Berkeley bakery whose loaves are prized for producing exceptionally fine, filigreed panko that chefs rely on to add delicate crunch and texture to dishes across the Bay Area." - Bill Addison
