Nabolom Bakery - Pizzeria. — Restaurant in Berkeley

I really do love Nabolom for pastries and breads and recommend that as the primary things to get here.

They are famously known for the cheese danish which is delicious but their morning bun, chocolate pavé and pistachio snail are truly outstanding and on another level. They are European inspired in that their pastries are light on sugar and not overly sweet.

The breads, especially white sourdough, are really top notch with a nice crisp crust and moist crumb baked daily. I like it as much as Midwife and Baker and Fourneé up on Claremont.

Their other savory items are a skip for me. I've tried the salads, mushroom soups, savory bread puddings and of course the pizza but they are just okay. You can find better versions of all of...

Nabolom Bakery is a true East Bay treasure. Their pizza is soooooo flavorful, perfectly baked, and satisfying without being fussy. Focaccia is a screaming deal for the size and heft, too! And the pastry selection is incredible...there’s always something amazing in the case. The twice-baked cardamom knot, in particular, is an absolute standout—flaky, rich, just the right amount of sweet, and deeply fragrant. I dream about it.

The vibe is super no-frills, which I love—no pretension, just great food made with care. A very nice place to sit outside with dogs, who tend to get lots of kind attention from staff. Prices are refreshingly reasonable too, especially considering the quality. Nabolom is my go-to treat stop and never...

My go-to neighborhood bakery.

Pastries are phenomenal. The chocolate-pistachio swirl is my favorite but you can’t go wrong here. All are made to perfection. Fresh-made veggie pizza specials are incredible—I get them almost every week. I’m no connoisseur but I really enjoy their coffee.

Kind and helpful staff. Quick service on pizza. Expect to wait 2-15 minutes for a whole pie, depending on how busy they are. They have seats and tables outside to eat a bite and sip coffee with friends and family when it’s dry.

Lines can get long on weekends but go fast. Go early-ish for the pastries because they can run out a couple hours before close.

Haven’t tried the bread but have heard...
