50 Best Bakeries near Larkspur

“The best cappuccino in Marin hands down! Been going there for years -- the service has been consistently excellent and the pastries and cakes are quintessential Italian delicacies! Gary and Jeannie Rulli are the dedicated hands-on proprietors -- wonderful people and a blessing to our Larkspur community🥰!“

“We ordered several items for breakfast. Lemon croissant was great, and the breakfast burrito was cheesy and delicious. The avocado on toast was cold, as was the bacon on top. Carlos asked how everything was and when i suggested these improvements he was all ears and quick to report to the kitchen. He then returned with kitchen apologies and offered me a complementary pastry which I thought was total class. His service alone made it an enjoyable experience.“

“A variety of delights similar to Ferry Building but do have limitations on availability due to lower supply on Macaroons. A smaller store makes for tight spot if more that 2-3 people but good for pick up to go will swing by if in area and hope they have the flavor of Macaroons I look for“

“Ordered a lemon poppyseed cake and iced latte. The latte was very smooth and perfect. While the texture of the cake was good with the poppyseeds adding great crunch, the lemon flavor of it was missing. Could have added more lemon zest and juice to it. As for the icing, it’s sugar icing. So there is nothing to complain about.“

“Five star! Highly recommend! Such a great place to hang out and the food is absolutely amazing.. expect to wait a little so your best bet is to get a croissant or one of the pastries ready to eat while you wait for your order. It is totally worth the wait! We did go on a Saturday and it was busy, not sure if it’s always that way. Crepes are delicious! Eggs Benedict are so good and the croissant sandwiches are amazing. Can’t pick my favorite.“

“A delightful classic Chinatown bakery that looks like it hasn't changed in decades. They carry all the classics, though I'd recommend getting a cocktail bun (if you're lucky they'll still be warm from the oven). A few small stools and chairs inside, often with a bunch of old fellows sitting around talking. This place is great, don't change a thing ❤️“

“I am Italian. We passed by here by chance in 2017 and apparently 8 years later we are still talking about it. A dive into the past and a focaccia to remember; a bit on the soft side compared to the way we have them where I am from. Packed with care.“

“This gem in Financial District is a must-try. I bought a box of four pastel da nata of various flavors and each one was delicious: crunchy on the outside and melt-in-your mouth custard. Really delectable! The traditional, pistachio, Nutella, and caramel were all equally as great. Make sure to ask for a sprinkle of cinnamon to add to the tastiness of this Portuguese treats!“

“I love stopping by on my way to work. I’m always there around 8am and the pastries are still warm! It’s a lovely atmosphere, with friendly employees, and delicious pastries and coffee. It’s normally around $12 for a pastry and latte. What more could you want?“

“Victoria's is a jewel among many in North Beach, but might be one of the brightest. Pastries are all made in-house from Italian recipes over 100 years old. I find the Princess Cake to be absolute heaven, along with the Lavazza drip coffee. They also have an impressive gluten free cookie selection, which are scrumptious to even gluten eaters.

The staff are always so incredibly sweet and personable. Victoria's is a true treasure and deeply beloved, I see patrons returning from near and far, regularly!“

“Yummy coconut custard bun! Can’t wait to go back and try more of the beautiful treats“

“Max has a wonderful, friendly personality and provides outstanding customer service. His recommendations for the drinks and bakery items were excellent-they were absolutely delicious! Thank you for making my visit so enjoyable. I'Il definitely be coming back again.“

“Great coffee and pastries.“

“Fortunate cookies are delicious and fresh. Flavor options to choose from. Staff is very friendly. They made sure my daughter had her favorite color bag to carry her cookies in. Great shop in the heart of china town. A must Go to spot when visiting san fransisco.“

“I've never had a more delicious gluten free and dairy free cinnamon roll in my life. A lot of gf things end up super dry, but this was just the right balance. I also tried the cinnamon toast biscotti (delicious), graham crackers (dry but still good), fruit pie (yum!), vanilla cupcake (good, a bit oily with the frosting) and the bread (not a fan - odd texture and flavor). I would 100% come again and try some new things. Everything is clearly labeled. Items are expensive but good quality. I was impressed with the quantity of dairy free options.“

“Came over for some pineapple buns and egg tarts. A word of caution pineapple buns here do use pork fat so be careful if you have dietary restrictions. Ended up getting the egg tarts, the egg white ones tastes much richer than the egg yolk ones which is surprising. Also got the soy milk and boy was it an expensive cup lol $5.5. Each egg tart was $3. Was it good? Yes. But not to the point of the price point I would say $2 for egg tart and $3.5/4 for the drink kinda good.“

“Wow, wow, wow.... hands down and by far the best cookie I've eaten. We were staying just down the street and could smell the deliciousness as we walked down the street, we had to go in and find out what smelled so amazing. Best decision of our entire trip. The fresh made cookies were phenomenal. I have told everyone about them. I'll definitely be going back today before heading to the airport. I only wish we could get it in TN. So yummy!!“

“Making chicken salad sandwiches with the best bead 🥖“

“San Francisco Historical Landmark, all the locals and neighbors will tell you, or show you, because there is a line out the door at various hours of the day, especially for the buttermilk and giant donuts. Breathtaking experience of culinary delight.“

“Not really a sit-down spot, but walked over and got some mini cheesecakes to go. Was impressed at the price and variety of flavors; only $2.50 per individual cheesecake and flavors ranging from caramel apple to s'mores to pumpkin. Excited at the potential of getting like eight different cheesecakes all in different flavors for less than $20. I plan on returning again. Cash only, for those who want to plan ahead.“

“I keep on thinking I’ll get a photo of the amazing baked good but I eat them too quickly.

Unbelievably good bread and pastries. 🥐

Highly recommend trying the cheesy pull apart 🤤 and the almond banana bread… oh and the swirly spice… and the cinnamon toast …

Did I mention the coffee is also excellent??

Run don’t walk!“

“A piece of old San Francisco on one of the busiest blocks in North Beach. Charming decor right out of the 50’s. Excellent bread with the perfect crunch and the mortadellla sandwich is huge and delicious, as well as their homemade biscotti - great with a single espresso! Of course I had to try the bagels (says the NJ in me). OMG good and perfectly priced. Enjoying a little picnic of everything I bought - so good!“

“We had the mango mochi, the skin was really good and soft. Was told it was homemade with mango juice infused. Friendly ladies at the counter and they gave us an extra one after having a few chats with them! Would recommend trying their breads too!“

“Creamy and flavorful. Used the app Too Good To Go to try out a surprise variety of cheesecakes from Nash Cakes, which I had been eyeing for a while. They were pretty cold when I got them so I let them sit out for 20 minutes before digging in. This really helped bring out their flavors and prevent any crumbling of the cheesecake when piercing through them with a fork. I tried the Traditional, Candy Cap and Lemon Poppy. All three were delicious. It’s hard to really rank them since they all had their own unique flavors. If I had to though, the Traditional would be #1 and then Candy Cap and Lemon Poppy come in at 2nd together. Just depends on what you’re in the mood for. Candy Cap being warm with maple notes, Lemon Poppy being fresh with light creamy citrus notes.“

“Couldn’t wait to sink our teeth into these amazing egg tarts, freshly baked (one of the best!). We were lucky to catch them while they were open since they have random hours. After years of waiting to get them again, these egg tarts are still just as eggy, custardy, warm and flaky (ie, delicious) as ever“

“this place is amazing!!! will not disappoint!!“

“I never write reviews unless the experience and food was 10/10…. Well this my friends was indeed a 10/10. Well worth the hype! Every pastry was so delicious and the customer service was great! I was met with a smile and great attitude from an employee after waiting In line since 7:56am. I would do it all over again!“

“Best sesame ball I've had in a long time. The dough was perfectly crispy on the outside and perfectly chewy inside. Filling was tasty and not too sweet. Delicious! Steamed pork bun was a hit too. We appreciated that everything was warmed up. We went back to pick up a few for the trip home. Cash or zelle only.“

“Acme Bread is a fantastic stop for anyone who appreciates artisan baking. The beautifully displayed loaves feature unique, handcrafted scoring patterns that make each one look like a work of art. The bread is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with exceptional care and craftsmanship, making the bakery as enjoyable to admire as it is to eat.“

“Baked Blooms absolutely came through for me last minute! I needed three boxes of cupcake bouquets for a Sweet 15, and they were able to help me on very short notice. I called the day before just to see if there was any way they could make it happen, and Sarah was so kind and accommodating. She went out of her way to set everything aside for me and made the whole process stress free.

The cupcake bouquets were beautiful and such a hit at the party. You can really tell they care about their customers and put love into what they do. I’m so grateful for their help and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for both amazing treats and excellent customer service!“

“Overall amazingly great, the pastries are very good and soft just like iv seen and dreamed of tasting when seen them on instagram and tiktok videos. Great employees and great atmosphere it tends to get bit crowded due to being a popular spot.“

“We went hiking in mt tam and randomly came across this place. The chocolate cake was divine. So moist and flavorful. Apparently they only make that one cake and it’s what the whole town buys. The gentleman on the counter was also very helpful.“

“Excellent choice for local, cheap dim sum in the Chinatown area of SF. You will see people ordering in bulk from here as they are also providers for other restaurants in the area.

There is seating outside with the shed they built. Pieces of dimsum or buns are cheap and ten dollars will get you full for a few hours of walking and exploring the city! Enjoy this hidden gem!“

“Please protect this bakery from the influencers and tiktokers otherwise they will have those long queue, this is the best bakery I ever had it is Chinese but French in the same time the oasteries are all fresh and baked in front of you and super super clean the coffee so good people there are nice and everything is good price“

“After moving to San Anselmo in 1996, I finally visited M.H. Bread and Butter, drawn in by the crowds. Ms. Jenny, the manager, suggested trying the lemon bread, Queen Aman, raspberry croissants, and 'medium country' bread. Brahim, the owner's brother, highlighted the positives of working there. The area's connections to the Grateful Dead, Metallica, and Huey Lewis and the News and was at one time Bonnie Raite an Santana's residence make it even more special.“

“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“

“Huge shout out to Juice GIrl for supporting me last week during my spring cleanse. thank you for your high quality products and attention to detail !!! good jobbers!“

“Parachute Bakery was easily one of the highlights of our time in San Francisco. Every pastry I tried was unlike anything I’ve had before—creative, beautifully made, and bursting with incredible flavor. You can tell there's so much thought and care behind every item, and each bite was a delightful surprise.

What I loved most was how unique everything felt without compromising on taste. It's the kind of place where you want to try everything on the menu. Every dollar spent felt completely worth it because the quality and craftsmanship truly shine through.

If you're visiting San Francisco, do yourself a favor and stop by Parachute Bakery. It's one of those special places that you'll remember long after your trip ends, and I already can't wait to go back.“

“My son and I were on vacation in San Francisco and Bob's Donuts got great reviews so we decided to give it a shot. Absolutely the best donuts I've ever had in my life. We ended up coming back once more before leaving San Francisco. Sure wish I had a Bob's Donuts in my neighborhood, although if I did I'm sure I would have a severe weight problem. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“Great coffee and service!“

“I just discovered Lucky Penny and have already ordered twice in a row! The focaccia, chocolate chip cookies, and cinnamon rolls are amazing. Ordering for pickup is super convenient and the owner was really accommodating for a relatively last minute special order I put in. Highly recommend - I will be coming here again and again!“

“Emilee made an amazing cake for my wedding. She was quick to respond, adaptable to what I wanted and edits, and had flexible pick up. Everyone loved the cake (almond cake with cherry compote).“

“Great place to hang out alone or with friends, or to get some work done on your laptop. Beautiful bay views, good coffee drinks and the staff is nice. There is some good wi-fi, too. I had the blueberry banana bread and it was very good! Highly recommend.“

“Pushkin delivers you high quality and authentic Russian and Ukrainian dumplings. Dumplings with cherries taste like home made. Borsch is delicious and tastes the same as if I cook it. It was hard to believe! I highly recommend it☺️“

“Love the place.“

“delicious rustic breads, sweet and savory pastries, and fun chatting with folks in line (perfect weather didn't hurt either!)“

“100% recommend ! The staff are lovely, service was brilliant and the handmade Caramel’s are to die for !!“

“Love everything on the menu! You can’t go wrong with it!!“

“Everything! (I’m serious)!“
