Acme supplies bread to dozens of restaurants around the Bay Area including Chez Panisse, where Steven began baking bread in the seventies, as well as to a variety of grocery stores and retail locations around the Bay Area.
Relying largely on the requests and suggestions of customers, as well on our own occasional inspiration, we have expanded our product list over the last thirty-some-odd years to include more than different products. Since we began operation all of our whole-grain flours have been organic but since the nineties, Acme has been incorporating as many organic and locally sourced ingredients as possible.
We also use organic raisins, pumpkin seeds and flax seeds sourced by our flour provider, Keith Giusto. Acme has also done several things over the years to incorporate environmentally friendly procedures and technology. Beloved Berkeley institution Acme Bread Company plans to relocate from its original location on the corner of Cedar Street and San Pablo Avenue to a new space once its lease is up in The line typically consists of regulars who know their orders, and moves quickly.
Nevertheless, the Sullivans and the rest of the Acme team addressed congestion issues by organizing shop staff more efficiently, and by moving their trucks out of the lot for pick-ups.
Too much traffic, both for the parking lots and for the foot traffic. As for what he'll do with the space once Acme moves out, Lynch is still unsure. Maybe an expansion of his sales floor of imported wines, maybe desks for his sales staff, maybe both. But something about the proportions of the [new] building inside and how they're arranged just lend themselves so well to our layout of what we want to do.
It wouldn't do. Ellison, who had no experience in the food industry, approached Acme about selling its bread himself around Sacramento. Acme, who does no advertising or marketing, was reluctant.
It took two years hawking the loaves at local farmers markets to convince the company it had a market out there. Thirteen years later, Ellison continues to deliver Acme loaves straight from the Berkeley bakery to about 40 restaurants and grocery stores in the Sacramento area.
The service operates seven days a week, days a year. Ellison, or the single driver he employs, gets to the Berkeley bakery around a. He and his daughter spend the rest of the morning delivering.
Ellison only delivers to stores in Sacramento, he said. The Ellisons previously owned a brick-and-mortar shop in Roseville, where their neighbors could directly buy the bread, but business wasn't as vibrant as expect, so it closed.
Ellison devised a solution: Locals text him their orders, and Ellison sets the bread out in bags on his doorstep. Money is left in the mailbox.
It's a quiet neighborhood, and no bread thieves have conspired to snatch the unattended loaves though a squirrel once carried one off.
Ellison says he sells about 12 loaves this way, on a good day. It's not a lot, but it's more of a community service, anyway. Some people travel through multiple towns to reach Ellison's front porch. There's a group of German ex-pats, living together in a retirement community in Lincoln Placer County , who have "banded together" to order the bread, Ellison said. That's all they ever order. One woman was sent to Ellison by the Trader Joe's down the block from his house.
She wanted the good Acme bread. TJs didn't have it. Blankenship and her husband had long considered leaving the Bay Area. They both worked in the technology sector and commuted to Mountain View and Sunnyvale for years. Blankenship's perspective changed in April , when her mother died suddenly. She realized "life is short," that she wanted to spend less time in the car and more time with her children. In Roseville, the Blankenships bought a large home in a quiet neighborhood with a backyard connected to a nature preserve.
