The bakery brought the French baguette into vogue for Berkeley consumers, and helped spark a revolution in artisan bread.The Cheese Board is located at 1504 Shattuck Avenue and Cheese Board Pizza is located two doors down the street at 1512 Shattuck Avenue. In 2003, the Cheese Board Collective put together a cookbook, The Cheese Board: Collective Works.
