i. Biography
Coming Up
Pastry was the throughline in Anne Walker’s early kitchen work, and the record of it is built across a series of San Francisco rooms that each required precision and consistency. After studying at Hampshire College, she worked as pastry chef at Cypress Club in San Francisco, Stanford Court Hotel in San Francisco, and Slow Club in San Francisco. Those roles point to a practice grounded in repetition, timing, and the control pastry demands service after service. Bi-Rite Market marked the next step in 2002, when Walker joined as pastry chef. The move placed her pastry work in a more public-facing setting and set up the transition that followed. In 2006, she co-founded Bi-Rite Creamery in San Francisco, carrying the same pastry foundation into a new role that combined making with building.
Where They Are Now
Since 2006, Walker has been co-founder of Bi-Rite Creamery in San Francisco. The role reflects a career that stayed close to pastry while expanding into ownership and structure: the same discipline that shaped her earlier kitchen work now sits behind the creamery she helped establish. The line from Hampshire College to Cypress Club in San Francisco, Stanford Court Hotel in San Francisco, Slow Club in San Francisco, Bi-Rite Market in 2002, and Bi-Rite Creamery in 2006 shows a steady progression rather than a break. Walker’s work in pastry moved from chef roles into co-founding, with each step reinforcing the craft rather than replacing it.
