Arsicault Bakery Civic Center

"Bon Appetit gave Armando Lacayo’s temple to pastry Ariscault Best New Bakery in 2016 and in 2019 he decided to expand into the United Nations Plaza. The shop reopened in July of 2021 and features indoor and outdoor seating, with daytime security personnel. Oakland’s Mr. Espresso is the shop’s dark roast balance to the sweet decadence of raisin kouigns and not-too-buttery croissants." - Paolo Bicchieri

"Offers a variety of croissants, including a standout chocolate croissant with melted chocolate, known for its friendly service." - Dianne de Guzman

"Arsicault Bakery is famous for its croissants and will be located at Mission Rock." - Lauren Saria

"Arsicault Bakery is one of the city’s most popular croissant destinations and is among the first new tenants of the massive Mission Rock development." - Dianne de Guzman

"At the Civic Center outpost of Arsicault Bakery, you can get the same croissants found at the original Richmond location without giving up an hour of your morning by standing in a line. You’re probably here, like everyone else, for the almond croissants that make other almond croissants look like underachievers. Get a boxful (or two) and don’t look back. Unlike the Richmond spot, this place has tables inside, espresso drinks, and excellent baguette sandwiches for quick to-go lunches. photo credit: Carly Hackbarth photo credit: Carly Hackbarth photo credit: Carly Hackbarth" - Julia Chen
