About MH Bread & Butter
MH Bread & Butter is an artisanal bakery and cafe in San Anselmo that has earned a devoted following among local cyclists. The pastries are exceptional - flaky croissants, rich kouign-amann, and seasonal fruit tarts that justify an extra hour on the bike.
The bread is baked on-site daily, and the sandwiches built from it are some of the best in Marin. For cyclists, the combination of excellent carbs and quality ingredients makes this an ideal fueling stop. Their lunch menu features creative sandwiches and salads that hit the spot after a morning of climbing.
San Anselmo's central location makes MH Bread & Butter accessible from most Marin cycling routes. It's a slightly more refined stop than the typical cyclist cafe, but the quality justifies the brief detour.
