50 Best Bakeries near Colma

“Sweet Dreams made our wedding cake and cupcakes. They not only look beautiful, but are DELICIOUS!! one of our guests used them for their wedding as well after tasting them at our wedding. I have also brought their cupcakes to family events and to my office and they are always a huge hit! It’s hard to pick a favorite! Beat tasting cakes and cupcakes around!“

“Thanksgiving 2025 went to pick up ham the day before Thanksgiving at 7:30AM. As expected there was a brief line, although early and some confusion about the line, even though there was only one line. I remember the employee from last year (when I made the mistake of picking up the ham day before Thanksgiving at 5:30PM never again). An employee came out (older black man with pretty green eyes) and was doing his best to announce the difference of lines pre-paid versus reservation/non pre-paid. What can I say, people just don’t listen but he came out periodically to ensure any new customers in the line knew which line. The wait was about 15min in the pre-paid line to pick up ham. The staff allowed me to pick up 2 sweet 12-ct Hawaiian roll bags. The ham was gooooddddd!!!!“

“Breakfast is definitely the best thing here.“

“great food and cocktails, bread to die for“

“I first heard about this place because Zendaya once mentioned it as one of her favorite spots in the Bay Area. After visiting, I can definitely see why it’s so popular. The bakery was busy, the bread was fresh, pastries were still warm, and everything smelled amazing. Whenever I visit a new bakery, I always order a croissant because that’s my way of judging how good a bakery is. This time, I got the chocolate croissant and a carrot muffin. The chocolate croissant was good, but not the best I’ve had in the Bay. I wish it had been flakier, with more layers and a richer buttery flavor. The carrot muffin was okay too. My mom liked it, but it just wasn’t my favorite. That said, the prices are affordable, and it’s still a solid bakery overall. So, I’d still stop by if I were in the area.“

“Perfect for breakfast and lunch. Love these pastries 😊“

“A very cozy place in the financial district. Even though we went on a weekend, there were still a lot of people working there. Their pour over coffee is reasonably priced and they also provide coffee beans in the shop. I like the paintings they have inside. The coffee also comes with a postcard telling us where the coffee beans come from and the history, which I think is very nice. If you like coffee, I recommend giving this place a try.“

“Got woken up early to get here before 9am for their BBQ pork buns that is super saucy and the bread extra squishy, just how I like it. Was told it still gets sold out by noon. The egg tarts are just as flaky and buttery like what I remember, flavor profiles still great withiut skimping on the ingredients. Food and music have the ability to bring back memories I have long forgotten, I bought a double order of them both and some.

A long standing neighborhood fixture in San Francisco's Richmond District, that opens before 8am and ia still a cash only establishment. The decor I dont think has changed from twenty years ago. just your no-frills staple with value for the quality and classic comfort. Nothing on the menu exceeds $4 still and the smell of their baked goods from a block away brings alot of memories back.
Everything made here to me is a reminder of comfort and memories. A cake can be just a cake, but it can also be a commemoration.“

“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.“

“Jane is my favorite bakery in San Francisco!! Wide variety of delicious pastries and amazing selection of bread - try the cardamom bun, pistachio strawberry Nutella tart and purple corn bread - also fresh salads and sandwiches.“

“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!“

“Very good and authentic, just has long lines so be prepared.“

“Day Moon gives off a hipster SF vibe. Love how they have the little breakfast sandwiches (frittata) $13 ready for purchase as well as other pastries. I'm not a fan of waiting. My black coffee $4.50 tasted fine. There was only one person ahead of me at 10am. Day Moon is an excellent way to start a lazy Sunday morning.“

“Truely amazing Baklava.. Cant beat fresh all day. Flavors are all on point“

“Service was great. The almond croissant was bussin. I had a fair share of almond croissants and this one takes it out of the ballpark! From soft texture to flavor to just the amount of filling, it was sooo good. I wished the bakery was closer so I could get it more frequent. However the plain croissant was unfortunately a let down and nothing to write home about.“

“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?“

“Arrived precisely for the morning launch sequence, and the doors opened promptly at 8:00 AM. As the first customer of the day, my initial inquiry was for a baseline butter croissant benchmark. The counter staff indicated they did not have any type of croissant.

Despite missing this standard lamination anchor, this artisan bakery operates at an exceptionally high technical level. The selections were packaged cleanly in a presentation box, though I noted minor structural compression on the Potato & Onion Bourek from the serving tongs. To be fair, the laminated pastry dough was so incredibly fragile, shattered, and delicate that picking it up without causing slight cosmetic damage would be an operational impossibility. Every single item tasted phenomenal and featured perfectly balanced macro textures.

Loquat is a vital, high-prestige asset in the San Francisco food scene. Whether you are seeking a high-caliber savory structure or a refined sweet profile, their menu geometry has you completely covered. The standout highlights of the audit were the savory bourek and the intricately decorated small Mahlab cake, though everything tried was excellent.

Parking: Exceptionally easy street parking directly along the Gough Street corridor during the early Sunday morning window.

Service: Professional, friendly, and welcoming employees.

Atmosphere: Clean morning ambiance with an inviting, well-lit interior layout.

An essential destination for anyone tracking the best bakeries in San Francisco.“

“Ordered birthday cake and it was divine. Cake was so moist and delicious. Customer service was fantastic too. Will definitely order again“

“I dream of coming back to have a garlic cheesey breakfast biscuit. Seriously. Best decision to support these very kind people!“

“Breakfast is definitely the best thing here.“

“Finally decided to stop in to pick up lunch today and was very happy I did. We got the breakfast sandwich with sausage and the mushroom melt. Both sandwich on tasty aromatic English muffins (Rosemary for the mushroom, sun-dried tomatoes for the sausage.)

My first bite into the mushroom melt was a nice surprise as either the mushroom or the muffin spread had a sweet tangly flavor. The sausage breakfast sandwich was generously stacked with sausage and egg. Well worth an already reasonable price.

Excited to try the apple brioche we picked up for after dinner—the bakery’s owner, Jamieson Leadbetter, warmly instructed me on the best way to enjoy the pastry at home.“

“Great staff at this location. I visited in the afternoon on a Saturday so there was a line waiting to get into the bakery about 10 minutes. I purchased a small chocolate cake, 2 raspberry bombs and 2 chocolate chip cookies. All very different taste, and all VERY delicious!“

“The bacon scallion scones are delicious!“

“One65 was an amazing discovery on our trip to San Francisco. Having spent the first half of our life in Montréal, Québec, Canada where it was hard to find a bad restaurant, we were absolutely amazed by this Bistro which looks more like a high end dining experience. The menu online & the photos attracted us to this location but we were amazed by the well timed service, the crisp white tablecloths, the table setting and the pleasant and calm atmosphere. My choices of charcuterie platter was perfectly sized; the chicken & the pork rillettes where a wonderful surprise. My husband had an onion tart with the crust as perfect as they get & which I envied. He loved his halibut, moist and tender and I raved over my grilled half lobster, so tender that I found myself munching on the shell parts as well. My bread pudding was not of overwhelming size & perfectly flavored. Don chose the Affogato (scoop of vanilla gelato « drowned » with a shot of hot espresso). We wanted to go back today but they are closed on Sundays.?“

“Absolutely the best cake of my entire life! The princess cake was bought on a Sunday for a birthday. Brought home and stored in the fridge and it didn’t go bad. We ate on it for days and it tasted as if it did the day we bought it. SO GOOD!“

“This is a bakery with a large Vietnamese section (banh mi) and sandwiches. The pastries we tried were fresh, buttery and flaky - perfect! The beef curry pastry was especially notable for its flavor. Service is prompt and friendly. The decor is nothing to write home about, but it doesn't matter since this is not a sit-down kind of place. No gluten free options available.“

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

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

“Best Sourdough Bread!!!! Freshly baked bread“

“The pastry from this place is out of this world!! If you are passing by and this store is open, just go in and invite yourself to the best Berliner ever!!! I can’t believe what I am eating right now that I am writing this review :))) the best part? The lady who works there is super kind!“

“I love this co-op bakery, and I'm very happy that they have a selection of gluten free items that are often on the shelf next to each other. If you have Celiac Disease like me, that's music to your ears. As for the remaining items that are next to gluten full items, the gluten free items are at the end of the shelf allowing for selection of those items that have never been touched by gluten.“

“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.“

“schuberts ROCKS the princess cake is so delicious holy hell

they are super nice here :)

only note I have is you won’t get a “your cake is ready for pickup” message — just show up at the time slot you had picked and it should be ready!“

“So delicious! Highly recommend“

“Everything I've ever had from here has been amazing, just scrumptious perfection. I used to live a block away and would go there more often, I've moved a bit further away now but returned today for lunch and sweet treats. The guava puff pastry I got today was sublime, the ganache brownie is my standby go-to, literally the best brownie I've ever had in my life. The soups are always exquisite. Just nice people, everything clean and fresh, a pleasant little community experience around the corner from where I grew up in my family home of 40 years. Coming to Patisserie on California always feels like coming home.“

“Excellent ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤜❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥵🥵“

“I'm hesitant to tell you how good the buckwheat financiers are, because they will likely sell out even faster, but they are remarkably good.

There's a reason there is almost always a line outside the door here. Great treats and coffee, along with quick, friendly service.

Highly recommend!“

“Excellent pies...highly recommend“

“Great coffee and pastries.“

“Ordered a large order from Breadbelly and this is the way to do it -- getting to try so many of their amazing pastries! My friends and I loved the Kaya Bun (I feel like it's a must get), the Ube Tart, and Blueberry Croissant Tart. But honestly, we didn't have one bad thing.

Can't wait to go again soon and enjoy the outside seating at Clement Street on a sunny day.

Oh, and get the Karl the Fog cappucino! I'm usually not a sweet drink person, but it was the perfect balance of sweet mixed with the earl grey tea.“

“This place is a little shop that sells excellent croissants and other pastries. They also have sandwiches. All of their food is fairly priced. The service was okay. They have limited indoor and outdoo seating. Over all the food is good. We will definitely be back to try new pastries and sandwiches.“

“WOW the food is delicious. I never liked lamb before, but the lamb was to die for, it was so juicy and tender and flavorful - I added it on top of hummus and ate it with their warm pita bread. Also that was the best falafel I've ever had in my life, hands down -crispy and flavorful and NOT DRY. The pickles were amazing too. 10/10 will return.“

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

“Purchased a Claire’s mocha crunch cake today and it’s absolutely delicious. The cake was moist, mocha was delicious but not too sweet but the crunch is so amazingly delicious. 10/10 for the cake. It was very nice meeting Ms. Claire as well. She seems like a very nice lady. Definitely will back for another cake. Maybe the pineapple upside down or the coconut?“

“Good food, friendly service, and a comfortable space overall. I enjoyed the breakfast sandwich, the cookies, and the hot chai. I'm looking forward to going back again soon. 😊“

“𝕻𝖚𝖒𝖕𝖐𝖎𝖓 𝕾𝖕𝖎𝖈𝖊 ~ '𝖙𝖎𝖘 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝕾𝖊𝖆𝖘𝖔𝖓 (Sunday edition/addition) Okay, this one is completely not my fault. Whenever I do my laundry (Hey! I only have enough clean underwear to last me a month or so.) on Balboa Street in my neighborhood early on a Sunday morning (gotta make sure I am done by 10:00am for any NFL games that might be watchable... "Go, Bills!" today), I will normally head on over to Butter Love Bakeshop, which is just four to five blocks away along Balboa from the two laundromats closest to me, to get one or two of their awe-some fresh-baked items (and sometimes a cuppa Coffee[1] if I had not already made some earlier at home in the morning). Anyway, back to the 𝕻𝖚𝖒𝖕𝖐𝖎𝖓 𝕾𝖕𝖎𝖈𝖊, this is a post about 𝕻𝖚𝖒𝖕𝖐𝖎𝖓 𝕾𝖕𝖎𝖈𝖊 (it sez so right in the d*rn title, after all). They always have some great baked goods from which to choose, and usually make them with whatever is seasonal, etc. If I do not see anything that completely catches my eye, I always get one of their Monkeybreads as a fall-back, which are very tasty all on their ownsome, anyway. However, this morning there were several good items that I had to make a decision which to get. I ended up going with a Pear Cuppie (they call 'em "Cuppies", but they are basically muffins) and an Apple-Cherry Scone. They also had an Ube Scone this morning, which I have had before, and knew to be very good, but Apple-Cherry always trumps Ube, Donald. When I ordered my Coffee, the lady at the front counter asked me if I wanted any cream or sugar with it. I gave her my normal rant, "Never ruin a good cuppa with cream and/or sugar!" to which I added jokingly, "... unless you happen to have any 𝕻𝖚𝖒𝖕𝖐𝖎𝖓 𝕾𝖕𝖎𝖈𝖊 cream to go with it." Well... the main baker-lady in the back overheard me and came out with a pastry cream bag-thingy and asked me if I would like some of the 𝕻𝖚𝖒𝖕𝖐𝖎𝖓 𝕾𝖕𝖎𝖈𝖊 cream filling that she was just getting around to filling the weekend doughnut special with... (No she didn'!!!) Apparently, I had arrived too early that they did not have the 𝕻𝖚𝖒𝖕𝖐𝖎𝖓 𝕾𝖕𝖎𝖈𝖊 doughnuts even prepared yet and in the front counter display case. So, of course, I not only took some of the offered 𝕻𝖚𝖒𝖕𝖐𝖎𝖓 𝕾𝖕𝖎𝖈𝖊 cream on top of my Coffee, but I also bought one of those doughnuts to enjoy later in the day. She even had to make it fresh-stuffed for me while I waited. Let's see Dunkin' Donuts do that kinda customer satisfaction! _____________________________ 1. They only have Mr. Espresso, which is a decent enough local Coffee. And they only offer it as regular Coffee only ~ black or with cream or sugar. No Lattes or Half-caff-caps here; it is a bakery, not some d*mn St*rbuckery joint. I forgot to ask what roast/blend they were pouring this morning, though. Mr. Espresso has their roastery over near Jack London Square. One of these days I really need to check out a mini-tour of their operations.“

“Best dim sum at bargain prices. Outstanding authentic at less than one third the price of pricier restaurants at high end Chinese restaurant. Highly recommend and clearly local favorite. Long lines can be seen at peak times but line moves quickly. Can eat in or take out. Mostly self serve with tables for dine in. Will definitely come again during our visit at SF. They are NOT closed on Monday and Tuesday as suggested by Google map.“

“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.“
