The Cheese Board Collective is a worker-owned and operated bakery, cheese shop, and pizzeria.

Worker-Owned Since 1971

The Cheese Board opened as a small cheese store in 1967.

The transition to a worker-owned and operated cooperative relied upon a shared work ethic, high standards, and the strong emotional connections among the group. Decisions wer

We’re combining our love of quality flours and delicious cheeses into one delectable new product: pasta!

Made in house by hand, our silky, tender pastas make a perfect appetizer or meal. We will be changing our selection occasionally, but you can expect long pastas like pappardelle and fettuccine and stuffed pasta like ravioli, all made with organic flour from

You can find the pastas in the freezer, and there are pasta sauce options on the retail table as well. When in doubt, you can always toss pasta with a drizzle of quality olive oil and a dusting of Parmigiano Reggiano!

cheese is back as our vegan cheese option! Want a vegan pizza? Come to the counter when you arrive, even if there’s a line, and place your order with any worker. Hop in line, and we’ll make it for you while you wait. The vegan pizza is available whole only and is made with the ingredients of the pizza of the day minus any not-vegan ingredients.

We’ve been in full-construction mode since last summer, and now we’re getting the finishing touches in place.

On Friday 4/10, we’ll have our bakery up and running, and we’ll have precut cheeses, parbakes, and some new, fun, and delicious things to eat!

Full cheese service will begin in May, once our cheese cases are delivered and installed.

See you on Friday!

We are on the verge of moving into our newly remodeled bakery-cheese shop! To do so, we’ll need to close from Sunday, March 29th through Thursday, April 9th.

We will have a soft opening on Friday April 10th in our new space (with a grand opening in May when all of our cheese refrigeration is installed).

We can’t wait for you to see it!

While the bakery-cheese shop is closed, the pizzeria will have regular operating hours.

We’ll be occupying our new and temporary digs for the next few months starting Tuesday 1/20 when the bakery and cheese shop reopens. We’re planning to have all our usual offerings and our regular business hours, with the exception of Monday cheese service, which is on hold until we move into our newly constructed bakery in spring/summer.

There will be some adjustments to how we provide service, like coffee and parbake pizza pickup will happen in the pizzeria. The line will snake to the southwest, and we’ll be able to accommodate fewer customers at time inside the actual shipping container. But we’re excited to see you and hope you can come grab your favorite pastry soon!
