46 Best Bakeries near Clayton

“Great cookies, love the snickerdoodles the best 😋“

“I come here 2 times a week. The staff is great!! Milly also knows my kids have a dairy allergy, so he always makes sure the drinks are made properly.

The quality of the macha is unmatched. It is whisked properly for each ordered drink.

The macha donuts are delicious and have a few great flavors.

I also have to give credit to the staff when they are busy and short handed. The staff has always kept their cool and balance taking orders and making them.“

“This is a wonderful place to get a good cup of coffee and a delicious savory or sweet pastry. Please spread the word this bakery is located in a strip mall that is going down hill. This Bakery brings class to the area.“

“Wonderful cookies, Excellent Consumer service“

“We are regulars but never got around to writing a review! Tonight we had the best experience with Nellie and appreciated her kindness and easy conversation. And to top it off, we got a fresh delicious cookie right out of the oven :) The biscoff one is our fav!“

“deliciousness the cookie's cakes pastries and chocolate covered strawberries need I say more 😋🎯😉“

“loved it so much honestly best bakery around here. we went in just for a couple things but ended up getting way too much becuase everything looked so good. the bread was still warm when they handed it over which is kind of everything.

they got some pastries that i added to the pile and definately wasnt disapointed. didnt want to leave actually kinda sat there enjoying it for a bit too long. the people working there were super freindly even when the line got kind of long.

prices felt more than fair for what you get. im already planning when i can go back this weekend probably.“

“Mayu's Cakes is hands down the best bakery in the bay! On the day of my son's birthday party a baker told me she wasn't able to make my son's cake, I was panicking calling around and when I called Mayu's they saved the day and made the best Monster's Inc themed cake!! This place is the only bakery I'll go to indefinitely👍👍“

“Maison Benoit US is worth the try. Authentic French pastry and food. Customer service A+“

“Ever since my wife and I discovered this Persian market place we have stopped going anywhere else to get Sangak break, Kabob kobideh, Chickhen kabob (not salty nor greasy), Kaleh pache very clean and delicious. Thank you.“

“I stopped by here for a quick bite and was blown away by the quality. Everything I tried was incredibly fresh and flavorful.

The variety in the display case is impressive, especially those cookies labeled for pumpkin chocolate chip. You can tell they put a lot of care into what they bake. I will definitely be coming back soon to try more of their menu.“

“Located in a small strip mall with plenty of free parking, East Bay Bakery is a zero-friction stop.

Arrived in the early morning to find a pristine, complete selection arranged across two small display cases. The operational care here is obvious—warm items were securely packaged completely separate from the cold pastries per my request, preserving the structural integrity of the crusts.

The technical breakdown:

Traditional Croissant: Stunning work and an absolute lesson in volume. It features a striking, bi-texture design on the exterior rings where the ultra-glossy, deeply bronzed egg-wash finish splits open along the ridge lines during baking, creating a beautiful shattered-lace effect that highlights the perfect expansion of the lamination layers. The interior cuts open to reveal a perfectly uniform, highly aerated honeycomb crumb.

The Croffle: A flawless hybrid execution. It presses a highly laminated pastry dough into a crisp waffle matrix, catching a beautiful golden glaze across the ridge peaks while maintaining an incredibly flaky internal crumb crunch.
.
Almond Croissant: Excellent geometry. It avoids the typical flat, greasy sink you see at other bakeries, balancing a shatter-crisp exterior shell with a thick, beautifully even layer of rich frangipane cream at the baseline.

Kouign-Amann: Phenomenal structure. It achieves a massive, vertical rise with a beautifully crisp, deeply caramelized outer sugar glaze, while the cross-section reveals an incredibly rich, stratified interior layer structure with a perfect chewiness.

Sausage Roll: A heavy-duty savory asset. The puff pastry crust is baked to a deep golden bronze, wrapping tightly around a dense, nicely seasoned, and robust meat core.

Turkey Cheese Croissant: Visually spectacular and aggressive. It commands attention with a massive, crispy baked cheddar cheese skirt bubbling out at the base and an expansive internal steam pocket packed with folded turkey.

Fruit Danish: The sweet pastry hits every mark. It sets a razor-sharp, yeast-leavened laminated viennoiserie frame around a velvety smooth yellow custard, topped with a glistening row of dark baked fruit and a light dusting of powdered sugar.

This is exceptional craftsmanship that actually delivers on its structural potential. Tasted phenomenal for breakfast and sets the definitive standard for the East Bay. Highly recommended.“

“My first experience with the house of bagels, but in the late 60s, I attended high school with one of the sons and also had my first Onion flat. After moving back from New York and year 2000 I was glad to see that they were still in business, And that whenever I am in and around always without hesitation, stop by to pick up some bagels or two or three🥰“

“Great customer service Order 2 cakes this week both amazing and complements from all our guest. Thank you to the team at Mike Pastry Shop.“

“We ordered several flavors of cupcakes and one small cake to serve as the dessert at our daughter and son-in-law's wedding this past weekend, after having tasted multiple flavors a few weeks earlier. The cupcakes (including GF and vegan options) were all outstanding - so delicious, moist, and beautiful. The cake was equally fabulous and attractive. Many guests agreed that they'd never had better cupcakes, or a better dessert at a wedding. So good and so memorable - just what our daughter hoped for.“

“Fabulously, delicious cupcakes for our daughters 7 year birthday party. Catastic! Thanks smallcakes!“

“Truly the best pastries in the East Bay.

We are so lucky to have a pastry program of this caliber in the suburbs. These pastries are absolutely destination-worthy—the guava danish is easily one of the top five pastries I’ve had anywhere in the world. You can taste the care, craftsmanship, and creativity in every item, and it’s clear how much love the husband-and-wife owners pour into their work.

The only thing missing, in my opinion, is espresso beverages. If they added a coffee program, I’d probably find myself here multiple times a week (or even daily). That said, the pastries alone make this place a must-visit.“

“ricas tortas 👍“

“Todo El Pan!!! I am glad they are open again. Brings back memories of when I was growing up“

“Omg! I love walking into your bakery! It makes me smile really big! Fudge brownies with cream cheese are the best in the world! My favorite is coconut cream pies! Reminds me of my beautiful grandmas pies when I was a child. Thank you for your service and your commitment to help serve our community. It’s a pleasure doing business with you.“

“I had ordered Tals Sufganiyot for Hannukuh today, but ended up having to call and cancel because I was in a car accident on the way so couldn’t make it in time for their closing. They were kind enough to come have one of their team members hand deliver it to our house. Such a kind act on an otherwise bad day that you just don’t see businesses do anymore. And, not to mention, it was delicious!! Thank you for your Hospitality and we’ll be back soon ❤️“

“I love how much effort was put in the cake I ordered for my 21st birthday! It was beautifully designed and tasted really good! 😊“

“This location is usually busy whenever we visit, which speaks to how popular it is. The staff has always been friendly, helpful, and willing to assist.

My only concern is that the internet seems to go down fairly often. We've experienced it several times over the past few months. Other than that, the overall experience has been very positive.“

“Hands down the best English muffins I’ve ever had! Their signature breakfast sandwiches are also just as delicious! We’re so lucky to live close to Napa and it’s a treat to drive over on weekend mornings.“

“Loved cinnamon rolls they always serve it warm and fresh. Fast and friendly staff.“

“Alpine makes the best cakes and pastries. They also went above and beyond for my son’s wedding cake. I was placing the tiered cake in the refrigerator and had to make a shelf adjustment. I placed the cake on the glass table in the garage. BUT there was no glass so the cake just dropped to the floor. I went back to them but by then all the bakers are gone. So,
I could only order stock cakes. When I went to pick up on the next day, they surprised us with a tiered wedding cake!! Bless them.“
