50 Best Bakeries near Emeryville

“My friend recommended this place to me. The place is fairly simple and clean. You order at the counter. There are a few tables for you to dine in, but I find most people order to take out.I like the Simurgh kebab sandwich. The kebabs were delicious but what stood out for me was the Turkish bread. It's not like anything I've had before. It is grilled, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It is probably my favorite sandwich bread now. They make them all from scratch.I've only been there twice, but it's a place I would return again.“

“I love butter pecan.. I was excited they put a location closer to me.. this location is bigger and has space to eat inside .. the staff was nice and has lost of patience.. I had a hard time making a decision that day..I wanted to try the Valentine's Day special and that sock it to me cookies was on point.. I didn't expect the center.. I was also able to try the brownie cookie soo good can't wait until they bring it back the peach cobbler cookie“

“I definitely enjoyed my dipped strawberries. They were not too sweet, just right! They were delicious! I guess the best I've had. I'd definitely be back if they weren't so expensive. $14 for 6 dipped strawberries is more than I'd like to pay, like damn! Who made these princess Diana? Haha They had other goodies like dipped Oreos, dipped marshmallows, & mini cheesecake bites. If things were cheaper I would've tried almost everything. Anyways the customer service was great and the place is small, there were no tables to sit at, just in & out type of transaction. The end.“

“Visited this cozy little cafe at Café Buenos Aires was a revelation!The perfect fusion of Chaga’s earthy richness and Matcha’s vibrant notes created a truly unique and delightful beverage. Nestled in this beautiful unassuming spot, the cafe exudes a warm ambiance that pairs perfectly with their array of drinks and empanadas.The Chaga Matcha Latte stands out as a must-try, showcasing the cafe’s commitment to quality and flavor innovation. A delightful discovery for any matcha enthusiast seeking a cozy retreat in Emeryville!“

“Beth did a very wonderful job for my dad’s birthday cake! I asked for a galaxy cake and she gave me exactly a galaxy cake! She’s super friendly, responsive, timely, and kind. The cake tasted amazingly delicious! So moist and rich! I definitely will want to order another cake from Beth again! Thank you so much again Beth! Much appreciate all your hard work!“

“don't knock nothing Bundt cake! I used to because it's everywhere, but it's because they deserve to be that big. They craft solid cakes and mini Bundt cakes for any occasion. Brainless option for parties, gifts, get together dinners. The cakes are consistently moist and the signature flavors are all great picks, I love the red velvet and lemon. Plus, they offer cute decorated cakes for themed occasions. They did one for niece's 5th bday and my boyfriend's Easter dinner.“

“Staff is super friendly, I wanted to take home a day old pizza but couldn't fit it in my backpack and the lady was nice enough to cut it in half and wrap it for me. Worker owned coop. Pizza is delicious.Kid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“I can't believe I've lived in San Francisco my entire life and hadn't had Liguria's focaccia until last month. I came in right before 9:00am on a Tuesday and was able to get three slabs of the pizza focaccia ($9 each), which is what my colleague who grew up in North Beach recommended, to bring to the office. It was easily one of the best focaccia I've ever had! No wonder they typically sell out well before they close for the day. I'll definitely be back to try the other kinds. Note: they're cash only.“

“Hands down THE best croissant in San Francisco. But they have so much more than that. Pates, quiches, desserts - and they all look so Parisian. Walking in is an exercise in self control. But the good news is, if you do cave in, it’s worth it!“

“Wildly popular and mostly lives up to the hype! Although, I think the Breakfast Sandwich and the Morning Bun are overrated. IMO, the Smoked Salmon Tartine and the Pressed Ham & Gruyère Sandwich are the can't miss highlights of the menu. The standard baked goodies like the Almond Croissant are also v solid. The big open seating space give me "easy like Sunday morning" vibes that you can keep going by swinging by Heath in the same building or just taking a stroll through the neighborhood.“

“When we sat down outside, with the blue hour sun hanging low across the city, the tray of gluttony and sugars sat so perfectly on our tray.Then a group of Patagonia-clad men stumbled in saying “with OpenAI” and I was reminded that we’re in San Francisco.The crookie was good, albeit not crispy. While the coffee vanilla mousse looked amazing on the outside, it was a tad too sweet. However, the highlight for me was the Imperial; paired with an iced cold brew, the decadent layers filled with a crumbly bottom and a sweet white filling inside was my favourite.Pretty good!“

“Historically I'm not much of a baklava person. They're fine, but often too sweet and the texture isn't my favorite. Baklavastory is a different story. Their baklava is perfection, with a light and crisp dough, top quality nuts, and just the right amount of sweet. We walked past and went in on a whim, and walked out with a tray. The owner is very kind and told us about his obsessive process to make the best possible product. We'll definitely be back!“

“This place is the bomb. They know how to make the desserts and they’re not afraid to showcase that! I’ve tried the pistachio eclair and it was so unbelievably good. I am very happy. I still remember how good that was so if you are in mood of craving desserts or you need to impress your guest this is the place ! The balance on sweetness tartness is just perfect. I loved it. Can’t wait to be back.!“

“Fournee often has a very long line, but some random weekend mornings, there's no line...and you should definitely jump on the opportunity! The line can be quite long, around the corner which can be quite a wait. My favorites are the cheese bread, croissant, chocolate croissant and ham and cheese croissant....but there are also tons of other delicious goodies there; I just have to stop myself from ordering everything. They also have a bunch of really delicious desserts in the front case which I haven't had a chance to try.“

“I drove 1 hr from San Jose to come over here on Saturday morning. They were busy (have 4 people taking orders) but attentive; you can get in and out in about 5 minutes. I was not disappointed. I ordered so much and there was no way I can get the pastry and bun with good price in San Jose. I really like their curry beef pastry and the nest cake; something I really missed that I could not find in San Jose. I think I will be back once a month to go up there and stock up.“

“Oh my wow!!!! This cake was so delicious and perfection! Not too sweet or sugary. The ingredients are so fresh and organic. We finished the entire cake of 12 servings among 6 people! I’m definitely ordering from here again and they have a location and deliver in San Jose! It’s so pretty too.“

“Lovely people with great parties. Enough nice things have been said about their almond croissant. I think their egg custard was super on point as well—perfectly crispy on the outside with soft and creamy filling. I might have also tasted a hint of lemon/citrus for some extra refreshing flavor, which was quite unique. Always a treat worth getting up early for when I’m in Berkeley!“

“Donuts are definitely the best in town! Cute lil dog friendly place in the Laurel/Allendale district. There was an employee who gushed over my frenchie while we were there. Always friendly service. If you haven't had a cronut you will not regret the decision. My favorite is the salted caramel! This delicious box plus a latte for around $30 including a generous tip. I just love this place!“

“I finally got to try Bake Sum! The bakery was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. Because of the small standing room, it was sort of hard to tell who was waiting on their order and who was still in line. They also offer few gift items along the wall, including Taiwanese chocolates, matcha powder, greeting cards, and cute shopping bags just to name a few that I saw. There is no seating, but luckily Lake Merritt is close by, and the perfect spot for a picnic. On a Saturday you might also finding seat at the Farmer's Market a block away. We tried the jasmine milk bun, pandan milk bun, ube cookie, and a coffee. It was around 11:30am on a Saturday and they were already low on inventory (when I got to the front I hear them say they JUST ran out of sesame cookies and I ordered one of the last jasmine milk buns). Of everything I tried I liked the jasmine milk bun the most, it was quite fragrant (just the way I like my jasmine flavored things)! These milk buns reminded me of my favorite melon milk buns that I had in Japan. I have no idea if they make them here...but that would be a dream to have that right here in the neighborhood! I will definitely plan on coming earlier next time so I have more of a selection to choose from.“

“This has become our go-to cake for our birthdays, and we love it! The chocolate imperial cake is our favorite and it is a chocoholics dream. I never share it with anyone because it so darn tasty!It is pricier than a lot of other cake places, but well worth the money for a special occasion.“

“Arsicault did not steal his prize for best croissant USA. All the pastries are good without exception, the baguette is also one of the best in San Francisco. So if you are French, you can certainly think that there is better in France, of course... but clearly not in SF. Yes it's a bit expensive but those are the prices. I was sold croissants for $1 cheaper but frankly not good. I'm not giving it 5 stars because I still don't understand why there are no more baguettes at 10:30 a.m. on the weekend, no new batches coming (according to the sellers). When we close at 3 p.m., do we try to have stock at least until 1 p.m.? Finally, it seems to me? It's a shame that you can't order in advance and pick up the next day. That would be great.“

“I only tasted the pain au chocolat and the choux and I was won over. The cabbages are super good, the taste is fine and sought after. The pain au chocolat is worth a French one. The place is pleasant and the staff welcoming. Only remark: the tea served in a small half-full mug, a little too light for my taste, even if I am used to European portions.“

“The flat white was quite good, and best of all, it didn't burn my mouth when I first took a sip. That's how you know your barista is great! I also got the banana bread, which was delicious, as well. All around worth the trip and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town. The only thing is I wish the chairs looked a little comfier and I might be more inclined to stick around and enjoy my coffee.“

“I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Krispy Kreme who? These donuts are beyond words of delicious and delightful. I drive from the East Bay usually late night when my husband and I are craving phenomenal donuts. The donuts are extremely fresh, the times I've been here there has been an older gentleman making them and racks of donuts ready to be bought. Yummmmmmm. Just incredible tasty donuts. You can tell the oil they get made in is also very fresh, no after taste of old oil. Donuts are not super greasy. The service is magnificent! The first time coming here the woman was extremely helpful and kind. The second time a young man helped us and he had a great personality and energy. He was telling us some of the stories of the donut place. Really enjoyed his service! The ambiance is an old school donut shop with closed off seating area but looks very vintage. Grab and go type of donut shop right on Polk St. RECOMMEND THIS PLACE 100% :)“

“Found a new favorite cafe in town! Lovely interior and very friendly owner and staff. I've been going almost every day for the past two weeks for their Persian Rose Tea and am just starting to try out their baked goods. Cardamom and saffron cookie goes really well with the tea!“

“I had a great experience ordering from Butter&. I got an array of birthday cakes with different flavors. They looked beautiful, and everyone thought they were delicious. The service was friendly and helpful. And the cost was very reasonable.“

“Do you know how fortune cookies are made? This fun little visit will show you. A free sample and lots to choose from. I never knew there were different kinds of fortune cookies. And you can get flats ones, too. No fortune, but great with your coffee! They even have some fortunes in French.“

“Scrumptious chocolate chip cookies! I have yet to try their pies and various baked goods, but I can tell you that these cookies are so wonderful! The sea salt sprinkles were a nice touch because it creates a very balanced flavor. I'm in love with the gooeyness and texture of the cookie. The way the chocolate chips are encompassing the entire cookie is the best. I need more!“

“Algerian baked goods and sweets at their best! Incredibly, this tiny sidewalk cafe makes all their own pastries and sweets on-site. The owner/baker/muffin maker is almost always there, making community and croissant sandwiches. Seating on the sidewalk will, with great good luck, be upgraded soon with a parklet.“

“Delicious! We special ordered a small cake from Sesame Bakery for a celebration -- the leftovers we ate for breakfast were just as good as the night before. Incredible flavors, quality ingredients -- we live close to Fournee Bakery, but Sesame definitely gives them a run for their money.“

“I absolutely adore Arzimendi! I've been to this location and the Valencia st location in SF and everytime I go, I am reminded of how much I love it. The baked goods are delicious and affordable. The pizza is divine and it's so fun to see what new slice comes out each day. Arizmendi is also a co-op so I'm happy to support them with my service as much as possible!“

“There's always a line!I visited the store just after peak hours, but it was always crowded.There were also sandwiches, Danish pies, croissants, cakes, and tarts.The bread we ordered was very delicious.Desserts also seem to be popular, so I'd like to try their popular desserts next time.The croissant was crispy and very tasty.There was also space to eat inside.The taste, location, atmosphere, everything is great.“

“This place probably bakes one of the best versions of practically all your favorite desserts: Mexican wedding cookies, old-school Italian butter cookie assortments that the now-defunct Virginia Bakery in Berkeley used to sell, classic eclairs, strawberry shortcake, tiramisu, Opera cake, Napoleons, croissants, the list is seemingly endless. Very cute space that also sells coffee, and sidewalk seating, too.“

“Oh man the egg tarts here truly are the best which is why whenever the bakery is open, there's a line out the door. Literally a line out the door since you can't go inside. It's definitely a unique little shop so know what to expect. What to expect? A long line, pay cash and the owner cracks the door open and gives you your delicious egg tarts and takes your cash!“

“One of my friends allowed me to taste some food from this place I was so taken the next day I immediately went to have my own! the people was just as friendly and warm and most of all welcoming.so it wasn't just about the food but it was the atmosphere and the smiles I'll recommend this place to the world they brought me the closet to tasting some New Orleans food!!!“

“Best bread in the city. Best baguette in the city. Their pizza dough to take home is delicious. Would recommend their hot sandwiches or warm breakfast treats. Their cookie logs are also phenomenal! Everyone is so kind and they allow dogs to come in and eat in their back patio! $3.50 for a baguette in April 2024 ❤️?“

“The polenta and blueberry muffins are out of this world. That being said, one day they made polenta and raspberry muffins. I don't know if it was a fluke or not, but I actually like those better. Either way, you have to try them!! Every Friday my coworkers and I treat ourselves. The best ever!!“

“I still give this place five stars for their gluten free baked goods and take home lasagna but overall four stars because their service still sucks most of the time. I went by here recently on a Sunday morning before a meeting to grab something hot to eat. I love their hot pockets. However, it was 9:30 am. A number of people around me and I started to form a line. Some people asked the staff questions about the pastries and they answered while putting stuff out. None of the staff thought to tell us that they didn't open until 10 am on Sundays. After about 5 minutes of being ignored, I saw the small sign for their hours. I pointed it out to others and we all left. That was a horrible experience as I was hungry and now didn't have time to get something else before my meeting. On Pi Day, I came by and was pleased they had a number of pies available in different sizes. I picked up a small Chocolate Pie that was low in sugar and a small Cherry Pie. They were the perfect size for the three of us though they could have fed more people. We didn't finish the pies ourselves. The Chocolate Pie was yummy and perfect for me but my husband said it wasn't sweet enough for him. We all loved the Cherry Pie! We went back recently and picked up their pizza dough. It came with two rounds. They were awesome!!! We put on our own toppings and popped them into the oven. They came out delicious. I love their food. I just wish the service was better.“

“Great selection for great prices, but not super differentiated from other Chinese bakeries I have been to. The pastries were high quality and the woman who helped me was super nice. I got an egg yolk custard tart, an egg white custard tart, and a pineapple bun. The egg custard tarts were good, though the crust was more like shortbread and not very flaky which I prefer. The egg white custard tarts were interesting, though I did not like them as much as the traditional egg yolk ones which I found to have a stronger flavor. The pineapple bun was good, but nothing special. I will likely be back to try some of their other items.“

“I love this bakery. The vibe and aesthetic is so beautiful. The passionfruit fizz drink is something I dream about, as well as this candied hibiscus cookie... OMG! I also love to follow them on instagram and just drool over the gorgeous cakes.“

“the staff are super friendly and recommended me their favorites. I got the strawberry matcha croissant which was light and flaky inside with the perfect amount of filling and generous toppings. I can tell it was made with high quality butter as it held together well without breaking into a greasy mess. it also wasn't too sweet and was complemented by the tanginess of the strawberry cream. the financier was not dry and still soft despite being buckwheat based. the menu is super exciting and I will definitely be back to try other pastries (especially the Sunday menu)“

“We made a brunch reservation to have the tea service, but were pulled away into the savory menu options. We started with the viennoiserie and moved into poached eggs, which were cooked to four minute perfection (our request). Everything we had was great, and the service and atmosphere were lovely.“

“Some of the best sourdough I've ever had. The Miche is just as delicious as the breads from the best bakeries in France. Just picked up the Honey Rye Porridge and can hardly wait to have some warmed up with good grass fed butter in the morning!“

“Excellent bakery with delicious, beautifully produced pastries and cookies. Highly recommend the custard topped, strawberry jam filled pastry and the Ube croissant. The matcha cream filled pastry was a little overwhelmed by the sweetness and abundance of the topping, but if you have a sweet tooth like me, it's heaven. The flavor of the topping was still very good and it looked gorgeous! My husband was disappointed by the ham and cheese croissant and said he thought it could have used a little more filling.If you are familiar with Bake Sum on Lakeshore, you will know what to expect in terms of flavors, textures and types of pastries available.Parking can be tricky in this neighborhood but side streets are a good option.Parking: Use side streets“

“My sweet tooth has led me to visit many bakeries all over, so when I moved here, finding my go to bakery was top of my list. This place is the real deal. Proper cream cheese frosting (not too sweet with a pleasant tang) tops some of their most decadent goods. The pastries feel familiar, but are uniquely delicious. So far I've tried the guava danish, croissant, bread pudding, banana muffin, sweet potato pie and the cinnamon roll. Each item has been outstanding.“

“Yummy yummy yummy! We picked up a coconut pineapple slice and a chocolate chocolate slice.This will definitely be the go to place. I will be picking up extras and freezing them. I'm so glad I found you on Google.Next time I need to get there earlier so I can get your yummy peach cobbler.The gentleman that answered the phone was very nice and personable.Thank you again for too delicious pieces of cake.“

“I love coming here for my caffeine and nature hit. It’s one of the best in Berk Berk… an oasis ?Dietary restrictions: Vegan and gluten freeParking: Hot tip: if you know where the other side of the park is, there’s always a spotKid-friendliness: Baby and kid friendly ❤️ Tons of moms and strollers and babies“

“Great breakfast sandwiches! Usually a bit of a wait, but so worth it. It's all about their biscuits, it being a bakery primarily. My partner got me a birthday cake from here once, and they were extremely open on flavors.The only downside is the seating. There are a few high in demand tables on the street, and the interior is all bakery. Even for takeout, it can be awkward without a great place to wait.“

“A little on the pricey side but a great treat. I placed an order for a whole quiche. It was a great. Picking up my order took a long time. There were 3 people ahead of me and it literally took close to 5 minutes per person. I wish there was a separate line to pick up an order or that there was more staffing to help customers faster. It was worth the wait though.“
