22 Best Bakeries near Greenbrae

“With their delicious cakes and their amazing variety of cookies and treats, Victoria Bakery helps us mark our milestones, occasions, and celebrations with the right amount of sweetness, richness, and good taste; the princess cake and brutti ma buoni are our faves and shouldn’t be skipped!“

“This is the only cake that I want for my birthday. Every year. Celebration cake. It is worth the hour drive.“

“Some of the best pastries I’ve had in my life — and I’ve had a lot! The chocolate croissant was so light and so flaky — unlike the too-heavy or -bready croissants you get most places. Chocolate chip cookies are the same deal — light, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, SO tasty.“

“Amazing wedding and birthday cakes for the bride and groom. Tasted as amazing as they looked. So easy to work with!! Krumbs design was spot on. Can’t say enough good things.“

“I was rather upset when I moved into Marin County because my favorite bread place was Raymond's in South San Francisco. Then one day at Safeway I decided to try a Bordenave's extra sour baguette. I am in Seventh Heaven. I'm hooked onto these beautifully tasting baguettes. One day I'll make it to their bakery in San Rafael.“

“Fresh baked cookies with very unique cookie flavors (like funfetti & carrot cake). I did expect it to be cloying and super sweet, but it was nice. You could taste the ingredients and the ice cream was great without being "syrup-y". The staff was super friendly, but be warned that they do not always have all the flavors all the time. We waited for about 15 min because we wanted to try the funfetti cookie and some were just coming out of the oven. There were also a few ice cream flavors not in stock. You can take it on-the-go and walk around Fisherman's Wharf, or you can sit in a few picnic tables and chairs to eat it there. Worth a stop and better than the chain ice cream shops nearby.“

“This place is the best and I hope they never close! I grew up in the area but now live out of the country and my family has relocated to the east bay but I still make the 60 min drive all the way to Jelly Donut whenever I come to visit them. The owners are super friendly and generous, often throwing in an extra freebie too. We've tried 4 other donut shops in the east bay and none are even close to as good as these. Long live Jelly Donut!“

“I was having a party in Fremont, and wanted cute floral cupcakes (that I've had bookmarked in my Pinterest for YEARS!!) i did a search of the area, looking to see who makes such a thing. Of course I had no luck. I was able to find two bakeries somewhat close (over an hour away). One in San Rafael and one in Sacramento. San Rafael happens to be somewhat closer to my office in San Francisco so I figured I could Uber deliver some cupcakes to my office. Owner Sarah was amazing with working with me on time, date and delivery, not to mention finding the right color combination for my bouquet etc. My bouquet came out gorgeous, everyone loved them and they were extremely yummy. I highly recommend this bakery, especially for events as your guests will be in awe with the floral artwork. They look so real!!!!“

“An interesting place. The location just jumps out at you from out of nowhere.One I got inside, I was greeted by a very pleasant associate who ran me through everything being it was my first time there.Many flavors and sizes of cakes to choose from and the price for the seconds (cake that have blemishes and can't be sold at full price) is outstanding.I bought a mocha cheese cake that was very dense while it was a little frozen. After letting it thaw for a half hour the cake was fluffy and delicious!I am looking forward to going back to try more flavors.“

“I loved working with Elizabetta for my birthday cake. She was super easy to communicate with and perfectly nailed my barbie cake fantasy complete with a quote from the movie. The cake itself was a work of art but the taste, omg, all my friends were floored. I've also been able to find her slices at Falletti Foods and love all the flavors. I do, however, go crazy for her basque cheesecake. I could have a whole one in one sitting. So luscious, creamy and delicious!“

“Kid-friendliness: The best and my kids absolutely loved it when we had a party together at my parents and we went on to play football at my cousins place for our first ever tournament of year together at my cousins wedding on Sunday afternoon we went out and got“

“Amazing bread and croissants! Also love the brown butter chocolate chip cookies. A must have stop at the Farmer's market Thurs in San Rafael. Cannot wait until he has his own brick and mortar store. xo“

“This is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious treat! We had a banana cream ( don’t know whether I got the name right) , and pineapple something. They were both curiously delicious. The banana-flavored donut had cream for an extra-sweet finish, it was pillowy and perfect. The place is clean, and even with decorative statement pieces, clutter-free.“

“Really cute and healthy smoothie shop in a nice shopping center. I ordered a Maca My Day, which I thought was pretty bad, and so they gave me a free replacement of another drink. Very respectable. Wasn’t a big fan of the other smoothie either…But on the bright side, they have fresh delicious vegetarian wraps!“

“The whole topic of baking bread, using sourdough for the products they offer, is curious and interesting.We ordered the tomato and clam creams/soups on bread, and personally, I was about halfway with the product, because it is very small quantity and the price of about 15USD with taxes (in May 2024), is high.. .Of course, the flavor is great and the attention to purchase and delivery is fast.It's not very easy to find a place to sit on a busy day (we went on Friday afternoon), but there are options, even sharing a table.If you are close to the port, it is an option that you should try.Vegetarian options: On the menu, they clearly mark the options that are vegetarian, so you can decide quickly with that information.“

“This is my neighborhood bakery it's the BEST and I basically go every morning. My go to is the Pain Suisse, delicious ? my daughter's favorite is the chocolate croissant, and my son's all about the morning bun. The staff is so friendly anf welcoming you must visit.“

“Love the place Comfortable , but small 4/5 table, one outdoor Breakfast/ Brunch within Strawberry shopping center in Millvalley. Don't know if anyone can ever beat the level of extraordinary restaurants located in and around NYC. Bagels were first created in lower East Side of Manhattan Cre Orthodox Jewish Hts. Of Brooklyn mell as w Bagels are traditional Jewish favorites here are Onion and the Everything bagel. staple of Brooklyn anytime but definitely for breakfast thru 2:30 is recreated here . Enjoy !“

“Χριστός Ανέστη! I couldn't be with my family for Easter this year so they sent me a care package from Glyka Sweets. I am so grateful for this feeling of home that your sweets gave me. And, the tsoureki and koulourakia were absolutely delicious! 10 out of 10. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful day!“

“Picked up a cake for my husband's birthday and we were both awesomely surprised. A friend had told me about this place and I was a little hesitant for some reason I'm not sure why, but if you're in the mood for some good cake, be sure to check it out.“

“After an afternoon of hiking in Marin, my youngest daughter was enraged, so I decided to calm her down with coffee and pastries. It worked.We stumbled onto Emporio Rulli and I really wanted to love this place but something felt off. The food was very good and the service was stellar but the store was so empty that it felt strange to be virtually the only people there. Eventually, a few others stopped in but with the amount of pastries and cakes prepared, it appeared they were all ready for business and the customers didn’t come in that day.I look forward to coming back sometime soon as places like this really need local support. Don’t you agree?Michael DelehantyCompass Real Estate“
