Brickmaiden Breads

Brickmaiden Breads is an artisan bakery in Point Reyes Station, California, with a 4.7-star rating from 116 reviews. Founded in 2000 by Celine Underwood, this bakery crafts sourdough bread and pastries from a shop at 40 4th Street, serving the communities of Point Reyes Station, Bolinas, and Inverness Park. The bakery also supplies bread to multiple retailers across West Marin, including Palace Market and Stinson Beach Market, and appears at the Thursday Marin Civic Center farmers market.

What sets Brickmaiden apart is its commitment to the local grain economy, incorporating regionally sourced grain into many products. The bake shop features a garden setting with tables nestled among kitchen herbs, flowers, and fruit trees, creating a serene backdrop for enjoying coffee, espresso, and fresh-baked goods. The menu extends beyond bread to include rustic fougasse, almond cake with cranberry and chocolate, cream cheese frosted cinnamon rolls, and seasonal quiche.

Reviewers consistently praise the quality of the espresso, with one calling it the best in the Bay Area. Customers describe the garden as a secluded oasis where they can watch birds, bees, and butterflies while eating. The croissants sell out quickly, and the chocolate crinkle cookies have been called the best of their kind. A reviewer noted a pleasant conversation with a baker taking a break outside, reflecting the welcoming atmosphere that defines this West Marin bakery.
