Rize Up Sourdough

During summer 2020, when the pandemic was having a disparate effect on the Black community and support for the Black Lives Movement was soaring in response to police brutality and racism, Azikiwee Anderson felt the need to reconnect with his New Orleans roots, make a difference in his community, and hopefully inspire other young Black bakers to “think outside of the traditional box.” Today, he’s the owner of this “micro-bakery” that’s focused on reimagining SF’s traditional sourdough. His bread is some of the best you’ll find in the city right now and includes versions like a Cinnamon Spice Pan Loaf, Ube Sourdough Loaf, Paella Inspired Loaf, the “K-Pop” Gochujang Loaf, and more. Find Anderson’s loaves on the menu at local restaurants, as well as online for one-off orders and subscriptions.
How to enjoy: Order online. Get it delivered in SF or order for pickup in SF, Mill Valley, Berkeley, and Oakland. (Bread subscriptions include free delivery in SF.)
