After reports that the bakery was closed before 10 p.m. during its opening days, we contacted staff at Firebrand to inquire and were told the bakery would only be open until 8 p.m. until further notice, as all of the businesses around the area, including the partner brewery neighbor, close at that time. Extended hours may be implemented in the future. #FirebrandArtisanalBakery

At last! Firebrand Artisanal Bakery offers Alamedans a chance to gather, sip a drink, and eat delicious food from 8 a.m. all the way to 10 p.m. Patti Cary shares the mission behind “The Bakery that Never Sleeps.”
