organic microbakery and consciously made wares

Flowers are gracing our little microbakery very soon!

Things have been so busy at the bakery with weddings, corporate orders, and lots of cookies and pastries getting made for all of you that we haven’t had the chance to host a workshop in a minute, but excited to bring back Hanna Hanna and Linnan Ye_ Nekoconeko beautiful ceramics for another modern ikebana workshop, as requested by many of you~

Come for a creative and meditative session of ikebana arranging on Saturday, 10/24 from 5-7 pm, accompanied by cookies and drinks from yours truly. Each attendee will receive a flower frog, hand thrown ceramic ikebana vessel, and a beautiful flower piece to bring home. We absolutely love how this microbakery space has become so much more than just a space to bake, but also a place to connect after hours, and celebrate the joy of working intentionally with your hands.

Tickets will be linked in our stories as well as in the profile. Hope to see some of you there (:

Hello new and old cookie friends~ this is a long one!

Our humble little bakery team is recovering after a crazy weekend baking for San José Made and many new faces that we got to see as a result of being featured on Chronicle Food & W**e - what a surprise it was to see our chocolate chip cookie gracing the homepage of the chronicle’s website this past Saturday. I’m so humbled to be a part of this wonderful community of bakeries and food businesses here in the city, as they inspire me to bring my best to the table.

I wanted to do a short reintroduction and reflection on why christine’s exists. 6 years into running this business, I often find myself coming back to why things are done a certain way here, perhaps different to what you’ll witness from other food businesses.

When it comes to the menu at our bakery, the curation is a result of two things: one, what do I want to eat, and two, what ingredients do I have at my fingertips from the many local, organic food producers here in California? I have never been the type to jump to food trends, in fact, I know I am embarrassingly slow when it comes to developing recipes because I want things to exist with purpose and intention, and in a world that is now encouraging quick, short bursts of consumerism and creation, I find myself moving at a tortoise’s pace with all that I do.

Yet, I am incredibly humbled that many of you have chosen to continue coming along with me on this journey of intentionally creating slow, organic food in the form of a bakery business, as well as building community with us through our occasional workshops and events. Raising a child and keeping this bakery afloat has been most challenging chapters of my life, but I so appreciate each and every moment I have to continue working with my bakers, running our bakery ovens, and talking to each of you at the front of house whenever I can. Thank you for fueling this baker’s dream, and for giving us all reason to bake and eat more consciously made organic cookies and pastries.

A view that will always brings joy - lots and lots and cookies, whether for an office, a wedding, or any gathering, boxed up nice and neat to share with loved ones! Now that I’ve got your attention though, there are some very important bakery announcements for you all below~

It is the LAST week of the year to snag salted peanut butter chocolate (one of my personal favorites) to make way for our favorite fall seasonal - pumpkin doodle! We have a super limited amount of peanut butter cookies available for pre-order and walk-ins this week, and may even sell out before the week ends, which means pumpkin doodle may be having a soft return.

Pastry box pre-orders are on hold while we make some menu changes, but we look forward to the cheese herb monkey bread, black sesame praline snail, and cinnamon sugar snail croissant, all available for walk-in orders. We will also have traditional and pain au chocolat, which are typically baked fresh around 11 am every day.

Last, our little cookie canopy will be San José Made ILLO Mart in downtown San Jose on Saturday, 9/26 - Sunday, 9/27 from 11 am - 6 pm, or until sell out each day. The event is free admission, located at 435 S. Market Street. All orders will be walk-ins only - we look forward to being back in San Jose again this month!

Hi cookie friends - caught a very short breath this past weekend after our team attended West Coast Craft (thank you so much for showing up!), juggling baby, and celebrating another year of life. I haven’t had much time to write, photograph, and share as of late, but I managed to note down some of my thoughts on becoming a mom this past year, reflect on how the small business journey has been, and look back on the 6 years of christine’s that brought me to where I am today. If you’re interested on how things are really going, feel free to read the blog post linked in the profile, or the short version below~

“We (my husband and I) have been having a lot of tough conversations this year about numbers. I’ve been running christine’s for 6 years now, and while the first 3 years were spent figuring out if people even liked our cookies (and thankfully, they did), the past 3 years in San Francisco have been spent more closely honing in on the craft, and now, facing the realities of rising labor and food costs, which is a conversation that is constantly being had with all small businesses…

…I look at Peter and ask him whether I made the right decision to start a bakery, as working in the food industry is one of the hardest businesses to make work financially. It’s humbling, since from the outside things may seem all well, but in reality, a lot of small business owners have to make sacrifices in this honest field of work. Making cookies, pastries, or any object in a meaningful way is expensive, as meaningful work requires a lot of love, hands-on labor, and care, which all take time…

…[yet] sometimes the charm of running a small business is that things aren’t so polished and perfect. So, for as long as I’m able to run this small business, I hope christine’s will continue to be a place where people can feel meaningful connection - joy, warmth, and care, through all that we bake, all that we stand for, and all that we do. We hope to see you around sometime soon, as we continue to work hard to deliver all organic pastries and cookies from a little microbakery space here in San Francisco.”

My first day back at the microbakery - I’m sure a lot of moms know this feeling of things being familiar yet not familiar at the same time when they go back to work…but I’m grateful to be back in some capacity, scaling ingredients, sheeting out cookie dough, and running the ovens for our latest cookie workshop. I always have the best of times connecting with all of you, and love watching everyone’s reaction to eating cookies straight out of the oven! It’s truly the best~

I’m co-hosting one more workshop this month with Hanna - we only have two more spots for modern ikebana next Sunday! It’s been such a blessing to learn from her and also be surrounded by the creativity of Linnan who makes our ceramics, as well as the beauty of the organic flowers from . Whenever I’m at home, I always default to my ikebana vessel to make more arrangements to bring a little brightness in the home - baby also loves looking at the flowers too (:

Come learn the art of intentional ikebana arrangement this Sunday with us, otherwise we hope to see you soon at the microbakery for more fresh pastries and cookies this Thursday - Sunday!

Every so often gorgeous flowers and ceramics fill our feed to signal that spring has sprung ~ we’re so excited to be getting back at it with hosting workshops again as I (Christine) get back on my feet from being in the newborn trenches. Celebrate mother’s day and the spring season with us with the following workshops below.

Modern ikebana workshop will be hosted again by florist Hanna La Salvia on Sunday, May 17th from 4 - 6 pm ! We’ll have locally grown, seasonal and organic flowers from , a new edition ikebana vessel handmade by local ceramicist Linnan from , and cookies and drinks to to snack on while arranging.

Cookie baking essentials is also now back on the calendar, and I’m excited to be doing it for the first time as a new mom! Our best selling workshop is a great opportunity for bakers of all levels to learn about the science behind making a great cookie, as well as getting the chance to taste and bring home freshly made cookies and cookie dough from our microbakery. Join us on Saturday, May 9th from 5 - 7 pm for this workshop to celebrate Mother’s Day (:

This past weekend was crazy to say the least - we had two of our team members call out sick, one of our ovens went down at 5 am in the morning on the first day of Renegade, and I was juggling a baby and dog for the first time at home alone while Peter rushed over to help out at Fort Mason. But through it all, we somehow managed to pull off another two days of complete sell outs. Swipe to the end to see the faces of two new parents frantically grabbing a photo of craft fair set up before their little one wakes up in the stroller haha.

All that to say, from our growing family, as well as our bakery family, thank you so much for your continued love for our cookies and pastries. It was a joy to get a glimpse of the bakery space after being away for most of this past month, and to grab a few pastries and cookies ourself! If you’re new here, come visit our microbakery in San Francisco Thursday - Sundays, at 2050 Bryant St. Pre-orders are available for cookies each day, and we also have delicious pastries available for walk-in orders only.

Also an important update - we’re pleased to share two open positions at our microbakery in San Francisco. All interested applicants can find the details with the links in our profile, and please spread the word to anyone who might be a great fit! We’re currently hiring for a full time baker to be part of the core team producing our cookies and viennoiserie while supporting daily operations, as well as a part-time retail operations associate (with the potential to become full time) to take ownership of our craft fair and pop-up operations.

I didn’t know what motherhood would look like until now, but I continue to see the importance of having a solid team to run christine’s, especially as my bandwidth turns more towards baby Esme. Christine’s is an all-women operation (with the help of a few craft fair boyfriends and husbands on occasion), and I must say, we’re a pretty great bunch of gals to work with, so if you’re interested or know anyone that is, send them our way (:
