There’s a new food pyramid in Berkeley

A collective campus of food producers is headed to West Berkeley this fall, taking over the dormant industrial space left behind when Seattle-based Pyramid Brewing closed its alehouse there two years ago. Tenants will include Oakland-based coffee giant Blue Bottle — they specifically plan to can their cold brew onsite — plus smaller operations like Starter Bakery and non-dairy “cheese” startup Ripple Foods.

How the sausage gets made (or doesn’t)

When a butcher shop invokes the food industry’s “razor thin margins,” you know they’re not mincing words. After a decade feeding Bernal Heights on sustainably-sourced, humanely-raised meats, Avedano’s is crowdfunding for the future. You can also support the business by taking a butcher class, signing up for a meat CSA for yourself and your dog (so SF), or just by grabbing an Avedano’s sandwich and a t-shirt to rep their queer-owned business. “We put the Butch in Butcher” says one shirt, while another declares “I like pig butts and I cannot lie.”

Freshly baked goods in the Mission

Judy Kahn, an alum of Bernal Height’s Sandbox Bakery, has opened her brick-and-mortar bakery Kahnfections after years schlepping baked goods to tech companies as a delivery business. Her scones, cookies, croissants, and tarts can now be found on 20th between Shotwell and Folsom.

Free cone day PSA

Breaking news: It’s free cone day at Häagen-Dazs locations across the Bay Area. Head in to their, Livermore, Pleasanton, Santa Clara, and Santa Rosa shops from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. to claim your scoops. You’ll be doing yourself, and honey bees, a favor, as this year’s free cone day highlights crops dependent on the health of bee populations. Sadly, Häagen-Dazs in San Francisco Centre is not participating: It’s currently remodeling.
