Biscotti bakeries in California
8 bakeries, each verified from its own published website. 1 of them ships nationally.
Every listing here was confirmed by reading the bakery’s own site, not a directory. Nobody paid to appear, the order is alphabetical by city, and where we have any tie to a bakery it is disclosed on the entry. This is a floor rather than a census — California certainly has good bakeries that publish no menu online, and they are missing for that reason alone. The full register covers 175 bakeries.
Across these 8 bakeries, the flavors named most often are chocolate (3), almond (2), chocolate chip (2), lemon (2), cranberry (2), black forest (1).
The oldest here by its own account is Genova Bakery of Stockton, which dates itself to 1918.

Disclosure: this site and this bakery have the same owner. The listing stands because it was verified exactly the way every other listing was, but common ownership means we cannot pretend to judge them — they are recused from Assaggio N.° I and will never appear in a ranking here.

Nothing close enough in California? Most of these bakeries will not ship, so the next state is often the real answer:
Or skip geography entirely — the bakeries that ship nationally will send a tin anywhere.
