On this week in 2010, our owner, Brian, offered his first Kouign Amann at the Pop-Up General Store in Oakland that was curated by @ciaosamin and @oldfashionedbutcher! At the pop-up, Brian introduced our now-popular Traditional and Chocolate Kouign Amann, as well as a unique seasonal Caramel Poached Pear Filled Kouign Amann! And we are so grateful to have been serving the Bay Area ever since! . . To celebrate Starter Bakery’s 10th Birthday, we thought it would be fun to recrea...te the Caramel Poached Pear Kouign Amann, and offer it for you to enjoy this week! You can place your orders this evening and pick them up tomorrow and Friday! . . #berkeleyeats #oaklandeats #bakery #bayareabakery #businessbirthday #thanksgiving #kouignamann #holidays #holidaytreats #holidayeats #instafoodies #foodiesofinstagram #poachedpear #tasty #yum #delicious #bakersofinstagram #bakersofig #businessowner #celebrate See more

Sunrise and croissant check. Check. Everyday we do processes to make things that are supported and possible by other processes like ordering ingredients, cleaning, performing maintenance, updating orders, communicating change, documenting process. Within teams and cross-team. It all stacks up like a puzzle and cutting into a croissant and seeing the results of good craftsmanship tells a short story of something that transpired over 48 hours: a sliver of a view into what just happened. And this is beautiful. . . . #croissant #viennoiserie #berkeleyeats #bayareaeats #oaklandeats #wholesalebakery #teamwork

Good Evening everyone!! We have an important announcement about this weekend’s Farmers’ Markets: . . Out of concern for our staff, instead of setting up at Grand Lake and Castro Valley tomorrow (Saturday), we will be OPEN for pick up at our bakery (901 Gilman St. in Berkeley) so you can still get your pastries, quiche and breads. Open from 9AM-12PM! .... . If you have never been to our bakery location before, we are located on 8th & Gilman across from Gilman Brewery, in the same parking lot as the Tesla Service Center! Call (510) 561-8485 if you need help getting to the bakery! . . Due to air quality, we will be fully closed on Sunday. So come by tomorrow to get your weekend’s supply of pastries and bread!
