I’m pretty sure there’s nothing better than picking up warm, freshly baked, bespoke bread from Crust, except possibly picking up warm, freshly baked croissant. There is no better bread. The children and teenagers in my life look forward to this bread. Because they are indeed the toughest critics, “Hugh’s Bread” is the benchmark for all other products. Get yourself some angel food or chocolate cake if you can!

Our family loves Hugh's sourdough bread! He is definitely a craftsman and worth checking out if in the Bay Area.

Amazing artisan bread and croissant. I love it and my kids kids have a new bar for the ultimate in sourdough; it’s Mr. Hugh bread!

If you’re looking for the best bakery in Alameda, Crust Baking on Pacific Avenue is an absolute must-visit. Their fresh sourdough bread has the perfect crust and a soft, flavorful interior—some of the best I’ve had in the Bay Area. The croissants and pastries are always buttery, flaky, and baked to perfection.

If you’re searching for Alameda bakeries near me that truly stand out, Crust Baking is the place to go. Their passion for craft baking and commitment to the community really shines through. Highly recommend!

I love this neighborhood micro bakery! I've been getting Crust loaves since 2020/2021, and it's always a joy. I love all of the effort Hugh goes to to source nutritious grains, and to educate us on what we're eating - and that every bake seems to be something a little bit different.

Pro-tip: slice your loaf when you get home, enjoy a slice or two, then throw the rest in the freezer so you always have this delicious fresh bread on hand.

I first had delicious warm bread from Crust Baking 7 to 8 years ago. Delicious! The addition of cakes, sticky buns and other sweets is a wonderful addition!

Love this hometown baker!

Croissants are delicious. Cakes and pastries are good, though sometimes a bit too much frosting for my tastes. Straight up sourdough bread is my favorite, I’m not a fan of alternate flours, dried matcha mixed in, or other ingredients that overpower the bread itself. I don’t care for brioche, so I won’t comment on it.

Hugh’s baked goods are the highlight of our week. My family can’t wait for Saturday pickups. The seasonal treats are delightful surprises. I look forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas in anticipation of what Hugh might offer. He is an Alameda gem!
