Ordered their passionfruit Chantilly cake for my sons first birthday. It was a major hit! Seriously, so delicious — people were asking for seconds!

The point of eating is to slow down life long enough to promote simple charm and good cheer. Eating any of Crispian's Bakery's delicious pastries and breads doesn't just take time - it makes time and carves out space for the sweetest things in life. Highly recommend their pain de mie for luxe French toast and their pastries for any moment you'd like to slow down and savour. Bon appetit!

Went to pickup our pumpkin pie yesterday, Nov 26 2025. We have been ordering online for Thanksgiving pies many years. Went up to the pickup window. Not a thank you. The service has been deteriorating. Try to support local businesses, however maybe should reconsider this one.

I walked in close to closing time to get a birthday cake for my friend. They had one carrot cake left (my friend's favorite!) and piped a perfect birthday message on top for me.
The cake was delicious! Perfect balance of spice and not overly sweet.
I'll be making this my regular go-to bakery!

The bread from this bakery is BY FAR my favorite bread in the whole of Bay area. Their pepper gruyere sourdough is my very favorite (a must try!) and the regular sourdough, sesame baguette and English muffins are pretty great too. Highly recommend!
Ordered a 6 inch triple chocolate mousse cake for my husband’s birthday. There was a slight mess-up with finding my order at pick-up but was quickly resolved. Cake is any chocolate lover’s dream but we wished it had more cake vs icing/filling..seems like smaller cakes have a thin layer of cake only. Also tried their almond croissants and tomato sariette pastry which was a delicious and crispy savory treat for a late breakfast!

Incredible baked goods for a fair price. The best ham and cheese croissant I've ever had., and their bread pudding is lovely

I used to love this bakery. I visited yesterday and got an apple slice $7.50 for one piece ($1 is tip). I cut it in half and had half yesterday. I thought the dough must have been overworked because it was so flat. Then I got sick all night until this afternoon. I open the container where I had put the other half and with bright daylight I couldn’t believe my eyes… the dough is raw 😣 completely raw. I won’t shop here again. There are plenty of good bakeries around, go somewhere else! Bad job, Crispian bakery!!

To the man hassling the staff this morning over some kind of bread emergency; it was actually a relief to watch you make an unwelcome fool of yourself, because that means more pillowy Japanese milk bread, decadent cupcakes, and perfect cappuccinos for the rest of us. There's a reason why Crispian runs out of items, and it's because their bread, pastries, and cakes are unmatched by any other bakery in Alameda.
So, if you're a clown who throws a tantrum when you can't get your clown hands on a loaf of sesame bread, then this place isn't for you. But, if you love incredible baked goods and stellar customer service from lovely people, run don't walk.

I love their banana bread and chocolate chip cookies. Always a nice experience when stopping by to get myself a nice treat. Staff are patient, kind and very helpful
