Cheese Board Collective Bakery and Cheese Shop

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.

Pizza was okay (slightly above regular) greasy, good price but made me fart real bad, never happened with any pizza before

After decades of loving this place, it has sadly changed for the worse. Once a destination and experience, it is just another cheese shop. Still a great selection and bakery, it is sad to see the character and personality gone; apparently for good. Another victim of Covid. For the initiated, it may seem alright. For us, it’s a sad statement on the new reality. Bummer…

A local co-op owned by the workers. Best cheese choices and fantastic scones and such. Espresso drinks are delicious and great value. Regular coffee is average. A fantastic place to visit and enjoy the vibe!

The best, pizza, cheeses and baked goods. A Berkeley (cooperatively run) institution. Don't be fooled by nearby imitations (I'm looking at you Sliver). Try their sister cooperatives in the area, Arizmendi, too!

Long line of course. But you can get free sourdough starter 😁

You can find any cheese you want here. While cheese gave the place it's name, most people come here for the awesome baked goods or the phenomenal pizza. You can get the pizza half-baked and finish it off in your home's pizza oven. If you are in Berkeley, it's a must-go kind of place.

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.

Great stuff.

Writing this review just for Derwin, gentleman behind the cheese counter. He was so generous offering us several different cheeses to taste, and his warm demeanor was one of the highlights of our day trip to Berkeley. The cheeses were delicious rivaled only by Derwin’s kindness !!
