50 Best Bakeries near Belmont

“I love the storefront The Local Spot in promoting women owned businesses and great options. I can never pass up a scone!

Recently I ordered cupcakes for a birthday and everyone commented how moist and delicous they were! A great assortment of classic flavors along with creative ones and I plan to try all of them.“

“This place is pretty small but cute. There are not that many seats inside, and most people seem to be taking food to go. I got the tonkatsu quesadilla for $12 and it was essentially cabbage, corn, and tonkatsu, and cheese inside a tortilla(?) shell. It was an interesting item, but tasted pretty good.“

“I found this bakery when I was looking for a place to purchase alfajores and I was so happy to have found it! I was greeted as soon as I walked in and my first visit was nothing but a very nice experience. Two young men behind the counter seemed really friendly and helpful. The other customers in the store at the time seemed very happy. I came for alfajores today, but I will definitely go back for more alfajores and other goodies!“

“Crumbl cookies are famously large and incredibly sweet. While many of their flavors are enticing, I'd love to see some less sweet options introduced to balance the richness.

Peanut Butter Crisp featuring Butterfinger (4.5/5): This cookie delivered on its promise with a great peanut butter flavor and a satisfying crunch from the Butterfinger pieces. A truly enjoyable fusion.

Cake Batter (4/5): This was less a cookie and more a mini cake! The confetti cookie base was delightful, and the cream cheese-like frosting added a nice touch, but it was exceptionally sweet.“

“She is wonderful to work with. I have used her twice now. Once for a Mickey Mouse Twoodles cake and just recently for a baby shower. We got lemon for the cake and snickerdoodle for the cupcakes and when I tell you everyone loved them both. Her cakes are delicious and she does and amazing job with decorating them you send her a picture of what you want and she will not disappoint.“

“The bacon scallion scones are delicious!“

“Late December 2025 visit:
Dropped by on a Sunday morning when we visited the Cal Ave Sunday Farmer's Market. A bit hard to locate as the shop front didn't scream 'bakery' at us and we walked by at least 3 times looking for the address.

The young man helping us was very friendly and helpful in explaining the flavors to us!

We picked up 2 focaccia breads in black takeout boxes and ate them after a hike the next afternoon. Tasty but oily. Didn't find any truffle flavor but maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.

Fun memory made better by the staff and his opinions on the savory focaccia bread.
The shop had cake in jars and cookies available as well.

I'd be interested in trying the sourdough bread loaves next time!“

“Delicious, friendly and 100% authentic! 🇲🇽🥖🥮“

“Ordered Claire's Crunch Cake through DoorDash for pickup, and the experience was equal parts surprising and delightful. The pickup location is actually someone's home, which definitely threw me off at first, but any hesitation disappeared the moment I met the team. They could not have been friendlier or more welcoming, and the whole exchange felt warm and personal in the best way.

The cake itself absolutely lived up to the buzz. The standout is the crunch layer, which adds a texture and flavor you just do not get from typical bakery cakes. It strikes a great balance between sweetness and richness without being overwhelming, and the cake itself was moist and well made. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the baking and the assembly.

This is very much a made-with-love, small business operation, and that shows in every aspect, from communication to the final product. It feels special knowing this is coming straight from someone's kitchen rather than a commercial bakery line.

If you are looking for a unique celebration cake or just want to support a local business doing something genuinely different, this is absolutely worth trying. I would not hesitate to order again, and now that I know what to expect, I am already looking forward to the next excuse to do so.“

“This place doesn’t look like a place trying to impress anyone. It looks like a shop that has been doing one thing long enough to know what shortcuts ruin. The counter is small, the room unadorned, the kind of space where quality hides in plain sight because the people making it assume you’ll figure it out on your own.

Cannoli demand precision. If the shell softens, you failed. If the filling weeps, you rushed. If the ricotta is grainy or heavy or over-sugared, you didn’t understand its behavior under temperature and time. Romolo’s gets all of this right.

The shells are made the way people make things they intend to stand behind. Not brittle, not oily, not collapsing under pressure. They have that snap you only get when dough has been rolled to the correct thickness and fried at the right temperature, long enough to blister but not blister apart. You can tell someone here still listens to the sound of the shell when it cools.

The filling is clean, balanced, and confident. No perfumed overcompensation. No reckless sweetness meant to distract from inferior ricotta. This is filling made by people who understand ratio and restraint. The texture stays smooth because the ricotta was drained properly, not hurried. There’s discipline in that step alone. Most places skip it. Romolo’s doesn’t.

What impressed me most is how the cannoli hold structure on the way home. Ricotta interacts with pastry the way moisture interacts with almost anything that should remain crisp: it wants to weaken it. But Romolo’s fills to order, and they fill with judgment. Enough to satisfy, not enough to compromise the shell before you get to experience the contrast that makes cannoli worth eating in the first place.

The people behind the counter treat you the way good shops do. Direct, warm in a grounded way, the kind of friendliness that seems rooted in pride more than choreography. They hand over the box carefully, as if they know what they made can survive the trip but also know that respect is part of the craft.

This place doesn’t rely on nostalgia or theatrics. It relies on technique. On the quiet confidence of a place that has figured out what works and kept doing it. You taste repetition, patience, and the refusal to let a simple dessert become sloppy.

If you want a cannoli that proves why the thing exists at all, this is the place“

“Breakfast bar, Dark chocolate cherry cookies and the breads. We’ve tried a few things and loved them all!“

“Love Raymonds!! Love bringing home warm freshly baked bread!! The best! Everyone is so nice! And sometimes you get to see and chat with Raymond !“

“Found a gem! They have freshly made Sfogliatella that was awesome with all its crisp flaky layers and lemony filling (ate it so fast that I forgot to take a pic). Finally found a place that makes them perfectly in the US!

Their anise biscotti were really good too. The right level of crunchiness, unlike the hard rock that are often sold elsewhere.

The panettone was moist and fluffy—the way I love!! The price was quite decent for the quality. Hope they’d make some with almonds and almond crust~

They also had veal stuffed ravioli (only sold during thanksgiving and Christmas months) that we haven’t tried yet.

Looking forward to get their ricotta pie/cake during Easter!“

“Talent you can taste! I love focaccia bread but most don’t do it right, authentic. They do!“

“Backhaus has been on my to-visit list for so long!

Two of us ordered:
croissant $5.50
cold brew $6.75

Cold brew definitely on the pricier side. Coffee was standard and croissant was nice. Came by in the afternoon around 2:30PM after lunch, so not much was left.

Staff mentioned to come early in the morning since they usually sell out within a few hours!

Street parking / garage parking a few blocks away.“

“My goto French cafe with delicious French bakery, Freshly pressed OJ’s, and excellent coffees.“

“Great place. Long lines and worth it“

“Excelente Panaderia, invitados“

“Stopped here halfway through a planned 10k run for no more than a short coffee break. Ended up buying 4 delicious pastries to take back for my aunt and cousin who I was visiting, run abandoned and uber back! This place was very much on par with those pricey boutique bakeries back in London.“

“Your cookies are extraordinary delicious! excellent! Love all your cookies!!!!“

“Chestnut cake is OK in my opinion, but people around me like it. It is not too sweet. I wish they blended a chestnut puree into the cream instead of just having vanilla cream with chestnut chunks between the cake layers.

On the other hand, the egg tarts are pricy but VERY good, worth it as a nice treat.“

“Woodside Bakery prepared the most beautiful and delicious fruit pies for our August wedding. We are from out of town, and Jan and her team did a fantastic job organizing with us from afar. We are so grateful for their contribution to our special day! Highly recommend.“

“Incredible choice of pastries! Wow! First time visit did not disappoint 😊“

“My son and I are truly grateful for your kindness, Nicole. Thank you for taking the time to charge his phone, wait for a call to come through, and help arrange for us to reconnect with him. You didn’t have to do any of that, yet you did it with such care. The world needs more people with your spirit. Wishing you success and blessings in everything you pursue.“

“Not only are the cookies spectacular but Lizzy made an amazing chocolate cake for my wife’s birthday.“

“I ordered Blueberry Mousse Cake for 15 people. The result was excellent! The decoration was beautiful, the mousse was light and delicious, not too sweet, with fresh fruit, and you could taste all the flavors in every bite. I 100% recommend this place. Thank you for the great work!“

“Hands down the best bakery in Mountain View area“

“Cozy little hidden place in San Mateo. A bakery, coffee shop and specialized on cakes. They do offer some Filipino delicacies.“

“Delicious & fresh coffee and donuts 😍“

“Sara’s cookies are amazing!!! Yum Yum Yum“

“Been following this spot for a while. We have ordered dozens and dozens of mini Binka bites for celebrations. Love em!
Today popped in before picking up passenger at SFO. Delighted for the new menu! Savories!!! What?? Will be back to try. Had me a halo-halo aka shaved ice dessert despite the cold rainy weather. It was excellent from the bits of jellies to plantains topped with one ice cream. A sweet meal!! Okay I had a side of mango cream bibinka cupcake. Haha“

“Japanese style cheese cake and tart. Compared to western style, this is more like a sponge cake. Flavors of the pandan and cookies n cream were not too strong. Cheese tart is ok too.

Service at this location was fast and friendly. Long line sometimes. There were good deals to try new and different flavors.“

“the coffee's good, the people are even better!“

“What an amazing finding! We very much enjoyed the delicious empanadas from La Maja. The dough was crispy and perfectly baked. We tried different ones: Spinach, mushrooms, beef, ham and cheese. They were all outstandingly authentic and reminded us of our childhood back in Argentina! The place was clean, cozy and we felt very welcomed. Customer service is excellent! You don't want to miss this jewell in Redwood City downtown. We will definitely be coming and ordering back from La Maja.“

“It was very nice. Food was great and atmosphere wonderful!“

“A good meal with excellent service, however unlike other tasting menus there wasn't too much explanation of the dishes when they were presented. Also the space was cavernous which is fine, and we were at a booth, but since it wasn't crowded it seems to lack the intimacy I was looking for. More of a place to be seen vibe.“

“Friendly staff good coffee and pastries 🥮“

“THE BEST cheesecake you will ever have! 5 stars“

“My first time in Helpful and professional“

“yo comiendo con un servicio para este cliente por sus seguidores y un servicio“

“Panaderia Michoacan 2 is more than just a bakery. In addition to their fresh and delicious Mexican bread and pastries, it also works as a well-stocked Mexican grocery store. You can find snacks, soft drinks, sauces, dried chiles, spices, candies, and many traditional ingredients all in one place.
The store is clean, organized, and spacious, the staff is friendly, and the prices are affordable.
A great place to buy fresh bread and do your Mexican grocery shopping at the same time. Highly recommended.“

“If it weren’t a bit of a drive, I’d probably be here waaay too often. � The staff at SusieCakes was so friendly and welcoming — like, as soon as I walked in the door, they were all smiles.“

“I was here yesterday for the umpteenth time over a span of a couple years at this point.

The donuts, croissants, and other sweets are great, and I enjoy their breakfast food as well. They do a solid breakfast wrap, breakfast bagels, and they have iced & hot coffee as well as bananas and other drinks.

I love this place! Hope they stay in business here in RWC for a long time.“

“EXCELLENT and nothing short of that! If i could i would have LeVant’s kanafe everyday of my life!! It is unreal! Service is very very good, the delivery is always on time has perfect packing and presentation. Thank you LeVant for repeated excellent experiences.“

“Established local chain that serves yummy pastry items and cake plus authentic Hong Kong milk tea in a no frill setting. To go only. Always always visit to grab yummy treats, quick breakfast that can be washed down nicely with HK style milk tea at excellent pricing. A must for me 😎. And do not forget to try the mini meat pies that are also excellent👍“

“Ricopan impresses with more than its delectable pastries; it stands out for its remarkable community engagement. Each visit feels like a warm embrace, highlighting Rico’s role not just as a bakery but as a community pillar. Their commitment to giving back is evident, making every bite of their exquisite desserts feel even sweeter. Ricopan is truly a beacon of both culinary mastery and community spirit.“

“Beautiful atmosphere, attentive service, nice menu (changes frequently) and very tasty food. This was our first time visiting and we went for a special occasion (birthday) as it’s a bit pricey for our normal dining experience. But, it was phenomenal and I’m so glad we went. Split three sides and a lasagna and it was the right amount for two. Will go back again for another special night. Updated from previous review on 2026-02-22“

“A good place to have some Guatemalan food, ,,,fast service and clean“

“Hands down the best French pastries outside of France! Beyond.....🇫🇷“
