Cheese Board Collective Bakery and Cheese Shop

Unique flavors - usually a long queue and got to try this after a few tries!

Every time I'm in Berkeley, this is a must stop. The zampano - yum. The cookies? Yum. The cheese? Forget about it. Everything is great.

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.

Best baked goods. Scones are to die for - always worth it!

A Berkeley jewel.

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

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.
