Brick Maiden Breads

You cannot get better bread at any price at any place. Period.
This bread rocks-it’s best in class! And available in Point Reyes Station. Amazing artisan gourmet’s out in those parts!

MmmmmmmmmmBrickmaiden!
Soo delicious breads! Shared the Olive Loaf, on a hike out to Pt Reyes National Seashore. 6.50 is a DEAL for this loafa-​deliciousness. You can purchase around the corner at Bovine, at the General Market, or even as far as Good Earth in Fairfax. Pairs well with… everything!

20 years ago, ACME breads turned me into a bread snob, and it takes alot to make me swoon anymore, but swoon I did when I first tasted Brick Maiden’s amazing bread at Berkeley’s Tuesday Farmers Market at Adeline near Ashy BART. I plan on making my way through their entire inventory, but so far I can vouch for the whole wheat and white loafs, the scones (so tender!) and the triple chocolate cookies (I need to forget about those — they could become a problem). Perhaps the best bread in the Bay Area at the moment — sorry ACME (I still love you).

OH MYyyyy… This bread is MAGICALLY Delicious!!! My wife & I just discovered it on a trip out to Nick’s Cove & Cowgirl Creamery in Marshall.
Forget the price, and treat yourself to Brickmadien Breads — you WILL NOT be disappointed :)
Now, if I could just find it in Larkspur/​Corte Madera area :(

i was at pt reyes farmers market today& bought the whole wheat (smallish loaf) & 2 scones.
the bread was very good, as well it should be for $ 6.
but the scones — truly the most tasty i’ve ever had, a little bit crispy on the outside, soft inside. $ 3.50 each, also the priciest, but worth it.

for our commitment ceremony this weekend i order a TON of baguettes for picnic sandwiches. pick up at bovine bakery was a snap & they were as fresh as fresh can be. throughout the day i was asked a million times where in the world this wonderful bread came from. i was happy to be able to say brick maiden, since our home has been such a fan of their goods for so long. thanks for making our day so tasty!!!

We had some great bread provided at lunch at Osteria Stellina, huge loaves you see sitting in baskets hanging on the wall. On the way back from Point Reyes, we stopped at Good Earth market, and bought some Brick Maiden levain. After tasting the bread, and a bit of Unilocal research, I realized that it was the same bread from lunch! The crust is nice and the bread crumb stays fresh for a couple of days.

Best whole wheat loaf I have ever eaten. It costs $ 6.50 but WTF cares, it is artwork as well as food. Reality check — some people spend that for an oversized burger combo at McDonald’s and think it’s normal. So buy this bread and spend less on junk that day. Or don’t buy anything else that day. This is all you need.
Chewy crust, light and moist inside, packaged in some paper that keeps it from drying out right away — it’s even better than Acme’s Edible Schoolyard loaf and that is saying a lot. It’s the only whole wheat bread I’ve ever eaten that I crave more than mixed grain or white. How do they do it?
I picture a large, ancient stone oven perched on a rocky crag overlooking the ocean at Point Reyes, the ocean adding a tang to the air that works its way into the bread… cows and sheep everywhere noshing on the green sward to make cheese to eat with that bread… shrill gulls circling, demanding that I throw them some bread (but I won’t, not this bread).

Best bread ever! I want to move near Brickmaiden to eat her bread more often. Absolutely wonderful!

Really tasty bread. The country white is my favorite.
They come to the Tuesday Berkeley Farmer’s Market on Derby.

Wheat sourdough bread. Absolute heaven.

I buy their sticky buns, epi’s, bear claws and whole wheat sourdough breads at the farmer market in San Rafael every Sunday. The bear claws are made with perfectly flaky pastry and the filling is a balanced mixture of almond paste and poppy seeds, I like that they are not overly sweet, just the right mix of ingredients. The sticky buns are soft, crispy and sticky sweet. The bread has a wonderfully hard crust with a moist inside and lasts all week at our house for sandwiches or toast in the morning.

I bought the multi-​seed bread at the Berkeley Farmer’s Market.
It is DELICIOUS,.
It is also $ 6 for a small loaf.
I would have appreciated the cost being posted. Next time I’ll ask first.
