Stumbled across this place when I was craving some coffee in the morning. In addition to offering delicious pastries, cookies, and coffee they have a delicious breakfast burrito. It was one of the best I've had! They serve breakfast items from 8:30am- 12pm Fridays-Sundays! Definitely check them out, has a very home cooked- family vibe!!! The staff is super friendly and the environment is very cool/cafe vibes

Very honored to have found this place! I came to try the Bravazo hot sauce which did not disappoint. This awesome little cafe in Pleasanton is the perfect breakfast spot - the breakfast burrito with spicy sausage and the omelette chicken sausage exceeded my expectations. I also ordered an iced oatmilk latte and it was everything you could ask for. The service was 5/5, and ambiance was great for a sunny Sunday morning. Overall, I'm excited to come back and try out more of their food!

Went in when the owner was working and had a really nice conversation with her! Aside from being welcoming and quick with service, their tea and the multi seed croissant were both great. I would absolutely recommend them.

Such a hidden gem in the grocery outlet plaza! I love their caramel latte (extra hot) and their spinach feta croissant (extra toasted). The service is amazing! They always get my order right and go above and beyond to make sure I'm happy. They have alfajores, guava treats, and so much more! Highly recommend this place and you'll be supporting a local business :)

OMG! I was lucky enough to discover Passion Pastry when they have set up their pop-up at Nordstrom in Walnut Creek in the past. I lucked out right before this Thanksgiving when I happened to walk by the 2nd floor escalators and found the display. I loaded up on two large gift boxes (original Alfajores and one mix sampler), a container of the Mexican Wedding cookies, a loaf of banana pecan loaf and the coconut blonde brownie. I took them to Hawaii this past Thanksgiving and presented the gift boxes and Mexican Wedding Cookies to my sister. She is an avid baker and she was thrilled with the treats. (She is recovering from surgery and was staying clear of solid food, but 'Get Well' Mexican Wedding cookies are the exception, right ? ) My favorite is the Alfajores which just literally melt in your mouth. How do you guys make them so buttery??? I kept the loaf and the brownie for myself and froze them since I would be gone for 10 days. I just toasted a couple of slices of the loaf, and despite my freezing of the loaf, they were delicious and moist. Super flavorful, and I am so happy that they kept so well. I didn't get pics of the boxed items, but I did take a couple of pics of the items I kept. My photos do not do these treats justice, but believe me, they are AMAZING. I will be ordering before I head back to Hawaii in a few weeks (it's the only thing my sister wants for Christmas!). It's a family-run business and the mom and her kids help out. This is one of those local small businesses that you need to support! Brava!

If you want to have the most delicious Mariela cake that you have ever tasted then you must try Passion Pastry. The cake is homemade and dare I say it . . . Yes it's made with love. Sofia has made my husbands birthday cake for several years now. The most recent was for his 50th birthday. The guests loved the cake and the alforjores. Thank you Sofia!

Best cookies i have ever try , The Alfajores is the best, it melted in my mouth. The shop is tiny and they have two tables for sitting. You can enjoy pastries and coffee in the shop. They also have a booth during Saturday farmers market and there are even more cookies collection compare to the store. I purchased the cookies collection box and a box of Alfajores , i love them all. Best cookies and definitely this is a hidden gem.

cookie cookie cookies。 Love the texture and flavors. Very nice store staffs. Also love the package
Have enjoyed many items from this local bakery. First time trying their lemon bars. Meh, more like lemon bars with lots of filers like corn syrup. Not tart & tasty lemon bars with natural ingredients. First fail for passion pastry so far. Lots of other good stuff.

Good gift options for a box of cookies! It was hard to find a good place to buy a 'host gift' and this place really came through for us last minute!

I first got introduced to passion pastry at the Dublin farmer's market 4 years ago. The first thing I tried was their alfajores cookies. They were so good that I went back every week to get a pack and recommended the place to all my friends and family. After they opened their pastry shop I started ordering their cakes. The vanilla dolche de leche cake was a huge hit at my son's birthday party. It's so moist and flavorful that every one kept raving about it. The owner is very nice and kind. I was ordering a cake one time on a short notice and despite having many orders she agreed on making it. I highly recommend this place!

Quietly tucked away on the side of a strip mall anchored by a Grocery Outlet supermarket, Passion Pastry is a hidden local gem where we were lured in only by the sighting of a small chalkboard placed at the corner of the intersection leading into the shopping center. Come to find later another customer walked in also commenting that they were unaware of the bakery until they saw the same chalkboard.This bakery is run by a mom and her son. The mom is the talented baker while her well-mannered son greets customers and provides pleasant customer service. We had a chance to converse a bit while waiting for our order of the special Ham and Cheese Croissant to be warmed up. Passion Pastry originally started out as a home kitchen business in Dublin and appearing in local farmers' markets. Apparently they outgrew their home kitchen due to their popularity and found this Pleasanton spot to expand their business. We learned also that their claim to fame at these farmers' markets were home baked cookies that now they display in packed baggies along the side of the shop's wall.In the small shop, there is a small bakery case of their bakery goods and pastries. Check out the photos. We ordered their chocolate croissant as well as their beef empanada. All were delicious, perhaps on the sweeter side. What a great find on an easy Sunday morning!
