Arizmendi Bakery were inspired by and supported by the Cheese Board Collective, with the first location, on Lakeshore Avenue in Oakland, opening in 1997.[2][3] It was named after Basque priest and labor organizer José María Arizmendiarrieta.[3]
In 2011, Arizmendi was voted the best bakery in the East Bay by the East Bay Express.[4][5] Food reviewer Tamara Palmer, from SF Weekly, called their Auntie Mabel's Kookie Brittle the best cookie in San Francisco.[6]
