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!!

Great sunny place for a coffee and pastry. Don't let the yelp "unclaimed " label fool you, the people running this joint are down to earth and take pride in their work. Small enough to be cozy but big enough for tables.

Was visiting around the area and found this cute bakery. Ambiance is very nice and service was great-- I had the Cubano sandwich and a lemonade and they were delicious! The proportion of the sauce+ham and cheese was perfect and look at that cheese pull. Dare I say, it was better than a Cubano sandwich I had in Miami, would definitely come back to try other items on the menu.

I've been a fan of sweet bar since I moved to the bay 3 years ago. Their California croissant sandwich is to die for Today I stopped by to pick up 6 bagels and they accommodated my last minute request to slice the bagels even though they had a line. Love love love this spot, one of the best coffee shop/bakeries in Oakland for sure.

Honestly, for the last 9 years this place has been my Go-To for when I’m not feeling well and need some nurturing. As a gluten-free person I come here for the GF Focaccia Tuna Melt (add tomato) and the GF Chocolate Cupcake with Peanut Butter Chocolate Dipped Frosting ??. Today I added their Pozole and it was amazing! Also, they have the BEST gluten free breakfast sandwich ? and it’s so affordable. Love love love them ?Dietary restrictions: Delicious Gluten Free Baked Goods

This is the best family-run bakery! I look forward to visiting every week to talk story and get a matcha latte and delicious chocolate walnut cookies and other baked goods. Their prices are affordable, their staff are friendly and remember SO many names of their customers, and their food and coffee and delicious. It’s also a large open space so it’s a great place to sit with a book or do some work and never feels cramped or crowded. Please consider supporting this local family business - they are an Oakland gem.

I knew the drinks here were good, but recently I grabbed a cuban sandwich spontaneously and it was SO good. I wasn't expecting the food to be so good too but I definitely want to go back for the cuban again!

Love this cafe for early morning walks with my dog! Great selection of drinks (some really unique options like lavender lattes), and a comfy, quiet interior. The staff are all super sweet, providing homemade dog treats. The cafe also has outlets, so it is a great place to get some work done. The bakery also offers baked goods and lunch options, but I haven't had a chance to try them. Highly recommend!

I'm here at least 3x a week it's getting outta hand... Bagels always fresh & the cookies are ridiculously big (not a complaint lol). Classic local bakery, feels good supporting!

We LOVE Sweet Bar! The bagels are the best in the area (better than Boichik!) and everyone who works there is so kind! Plus, my dog is obsessed with their dog treats :)
One of the best cupcakes I've had in Oakland and such a reasonable price! I bought cupcakes for a friend's birthday and everyone was impressed by the presentation and flavor options. Will be back.

Everything here is delicious. Bathroom is weird though, but hey, just pee and get out and go back to your delicious sandwich or cupcake or whatever. Wash your hands.

Love this cute little bakery. I always get a sausage egg cheese croissant & try a different beverage each time. Always a hit. Service is pretty good too.

Great cafe that's dog-friendly with an interesting coffee menu and plenty to choose from for breakfast sandwiches! Highly recommend.
