The Acme Bread Company (also known as Acme Bread) is a Berkeley, California-based bakery that is one of the pioneers of the San Francisco Bay Area's "Bread Revolution",[1] which in turn created the modern "artisan bread" movement in America,[2] and remains a "benchmark" for commercial handmade bread.[3][4]
