Masse's Pastries in North Berkeley's gourmet ghetto is a beloved European-style patisserie run by owners Paul and Marcia. Their croissants are often called the best ever—light, flaky, and buttery. The shop offers a variety of cakes, including the Mango Mirror cake, which is popular for special occasions. The pastries, macarons, and cookies are highly recommended, with some customers noting that their chocolate croissants are the best in Berkeley. The cakes are mouthwateringly tasty, interesting, and beautiful to look at and eat. The guava cheesecake is a family favorite. The owners’ passion for food and tradition shines through in their lovingly made daily treats. Masse's is more than just a bakery; it's a community spot known for quality and artistry. The shop has indoor and outdoor seating, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Customers feel at home here, and some appreciate the generous spirit of the owners, especially Marcia, who often gives free treats to those in need. Masse's offers fresh pastries that are less sweet than American desserts, closer to European levels of sweetness, making it perfect for those seeking authentic flavors or a taste of home.
