Bakeries near Corte Madera

“Nicest staff I have experienced in a while! I ordered a cake online for pick up and I was running late, ETA after closing time. I called them, and they, very graciously, offered to wait for me to hand me the cake after closing time! lovely experience, my daughter's birthday dinner celebration was complete with a delicious Red Velvet Bundt Cake!“

“Mi lugar favorito, Recomendado😋“

“Highly recommended. The almond croissant at Arsicault is something truly special.“

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“Best focaccia I’ve ever had. I make it a pilgrimage when I visit the city to get my bread there. Get there early or wait in a line potentially. I buy 5 loaves when I go. Eat one during the day and freeze the rest. $10 each as of 8/2026. Expensive but worth it. Rosemary/Garlic is the win.“

“I’d go as far as to say this is the best egg tart I’ve had in the Bay Area.

The pastry was crisp and flaky, while the custard inside was silky, creamy, and incredibly smooth. I do wish they were served warm rather than pulled from a pre-made batch, because that fresh-out-of-the-oven warmth would’ve taken them to another level !

That said, the balance was kind of impeccable. Not overly sweet, but not so restrained that it felt bland either. Nothing about it was particularly over-the-top, it was just really well executed.

Simple, balanced, and genuinely hard to fault.“

“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?“

“Kouign-amann is one of my favorite cakes.“

“Traditional french cakes.“

“Victoria's is a jewel among many in North Beach, but might be one of the brightest. Pastries are all made in-house from Italian recipes over 100 years old. I find the Princess Cake to be absolute heaven, along with the Lavazza drip coffee. They also have an impressive gluten free cookie selection, which are scrumptious to even gluten eaters.

The staff are always so incredibly sweet and personable. Victoria's is a true treasure and deeply beloved, I see patrons returning from near and far, regularly!“

“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.?“

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

“Good vibe and great service especially Yonos and Eric!“

“Chocolate Mousse Ganache - 3/5 - Too sweet and cake part was kinda dry

Fuerst Pueckler - 4/5 - really good love the diff layers and the fruit layer in really balances the sweetness

Black forest - 5/5 - wish i had initially ordered this for my husbands birthday cake instead of chocolate mousse(because of popular reviews) this was amazing, they add real cherries compote as a layer its amazing it now is our most fav cake ever“

“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.“

“We had the Kaya toast, chicken cutlet sandwich, coffee and iced tea and everything was incredible. Simple, good ingredients and delicious. The music was great. The staff seemed very kind and friendly. We would definitely be coming back all the time.“

“Great coffee and pastries.“

“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.“

“I ordered items to be shipped to our hotel in Napa. They arrived the next day! We had shortbread cookies, croissants, and pan au chocolate. They are all fantastic! The hotel kitchen warmed them up for us which made them even better! Great service. Fantastic pastry! Thank you, Mariposa! (Wife is celiac/no cc/symptomatic and had NO issues)10 out of 10“

“The best cappuccino in Marin hands down! Been going there for years -- the service has been consistently excellent and the pastries and cakes are quintessential Italian delicacies! Gary and Jeannie Rulli are the dedicated hands-on proprietors -- wonderful people and a blessing to our Larkspur community🥰!“

“Located down a little alley, look for the line of people and expect a 20-30 minute wait. As you enter in the line, look and grab what you want. I recommend the bags of flat round fortune cookies - you can get plain, plain with matcha (green), plain with chocolate (brown). There are no fortunes, but I think they are easier to put in your carry-on suitcase- more cookies and less space and less breakage than the traditionally shaped cookies. I got a bag of traditionally shaped cookies as well but maybe half broke. They have plastic cartons which would be more protective.

I brought cash, since many reviews said they only take cash and spent about $60 for the three bags. I did see someone swiping a credit card but don't know if they charge more for that. With three bags, she also gave me two handfuls of cookies and a red shopping bag to put my purchases in addition to the one cookie free sample.

I am not a fan of the mass produced fortune cookies found in many Chinese restaurants, but these fortune cookies are lighter, slightly sweeter, and more addictive. I have eaten my two bags of the round, flat ones in a month. They also don't spike my glucose levels in spite of several handfuls. Really nice for something slightly sweet and crunchy and to cleanse your palate after a meal. I wish I had bought a lot more, since they only do in-store pick-up for orders.

Don't expect a tour or a step by step fortune cookie making process, as you get to the front of the line with your purchases, you can see a lady folding fortune cookies but that is about it.“

“My heart is full!!! I was visiting from out of town, stopped in this cute little cookie shop, I LOVE me an oatmeal raisin and they DID NOT disappoint!!!! Not often can one make a crispy AND soft oatmeal cookie! The staff triple the 5 stars and the cookies should have an infinity star button!! So happy and will come here again!“

“Came over for some pineapple buns and egg tarts. A word of caution pineapple buns here do use pork fat so be careful if you have dietary restrictions. Ended up getting the egg tarts, the egg white ones tastes much richer than the egg yolk ones which is surprising. Also got the soy milk and boy was it an expensive cup lol $5.5. Each egg tart was $3. Was it good? Yes. But not to the point of the price point I would say $2 for egg tart and $3.5/4 for the drink kinda good.“

“Lors de notre séjour à San Francisco nous avons découvert Le Marais Bakery. Nous avons ADORÉ, la nourriture est délicieuse et le service vraiment très chaleureux et très professionnel. L’équipe est souriante et au petit soin. N’hésitez pas à vous arrêter pour déguster les délicieuses viennoiseries et/ou les autres plats proposés, vous ne serez pas déçu(e)s!!“

“Highly recommend this cafe for its delicious (and super affordable) bahn mi sandwiches! I got the grilled chicken. The bread was warm and crunchy on the outside and fluffy inside. And the generous portions of chicken and picked veggies filled me up. The staff were super nice as well. Hidden gem!“

“San Francisco Historical Landmark, all the locals and neighbors will tell you, or show you, because there is a line out the door at various hours of the day, especially for the buttermilk and giant donuts. Breathtaking experience of culinary delight.“

“Making chicken salad sandwiches with the best bead 🥖“

“Not really a sit-down spot, but walked over and got some mini cheesecakes to go. Was impressed at the price and variety of flavors; only $2.50 per individual cheesecake and flavors ranging from caramel apple to s'mores to pumpkin. Excited at the potential of getting like eight different cheesecakes all in different flavors for less than $20. I plan on returning again. Cash only, for those who want to plan ahead.“

“I keep on thinking I’ll get a photo of the amazing baked good but I eat them too quickly.

Unbelievably good bread and pastries. 🥐

Highly recommend trying the cheesy pull apart 🤤 and the almond banana bread… oh and the swirly spice… and the cinnamon toast …

Did I mention the coffee is also excellent??

Run don’t walk!“

“A piece of old San Francisco on one of the busiest blocks in North Beach. Charming decor right out of the 50’s. Excellent bread with the perfect crunch and the mortadellla sandwich is huge and delicious, as well as their homemade biscotti - great with a single espresso! Of course I had to try the bagels (says the NJ in me). OMG good and perfectly priced. Enjoying a little picnic of everything I bought - so good!“

“Very nice place, amazing attention, I love it.“

“We had the mango mochi, the skin was really good and soft. Was told it was homemade with mango juice infused. Friendly ladies at the counter and they gave us an extra one after having a few chats with them! Would recommend trying their breads too!“

“We love Eastern Bakery! We have been buying from them for almost 2 decades and they never disappoint. Finding safe traditional mooncakes can be a nightmare when you have a child with a severe peanut allergy, as so many places use peanut oil. We are so greatful that Eastern Bakery makes theirs using vegetable oil instead of peanut oil. They taste absolutely AMAZING - the vegetable oil makes it so it doesn't cover up the delightful natural flavor. After eating these, others just can't compete. Eastern Bakery also ships all over the US, which is FANTASTIC. Thanks to them my son has been able to enjoy this delicious treat his whole life. Eastern Bakery is a must visit in Chinatown or a perfect spot to order from.“

“Friendly workers who definitely work hard! I've had a few nice conversations with them. They don't have a lot of help around, but with the variety of things they have to do, manage to operate as quickly as they can. I live nearby and am happy to have this place as an option for a simple bite. I've come by several, several times. Their sandwiches are huge and packed. Very moist and flavorful. The pastries with creams are my favorite (I'm not really a croissant guy). Check them out! They are kind of hard to come across my because their branding isn't obvious, so go get 'em!“

“Cash only, absolutely amazing cake. Taste like nothing you had before. Perfect balance between the fresh cake and cream and coffee cream and toffee candies.

Sold out quickly, you have to come before noon to get to try this legendary cake.“

“Creamy and flavorful. Used the app Too Good To Go to try out a surprise variety of cheesecakes from Nash Cakes, which I had been eyeing for a while. They were pretty cold when I got them so I let them sit out for 20 minutes before digging in. This really helped bring out their flavors and prevent any crumbling of the cheesecake when piercing through them with a fork. I tried the Traditional, Candy Cap and Lemon Poppy. All three were delicious. It’s hard to really rank them since they all had their own unique flavors. If I had to though, the Traditional would be #1 and then Candy Cap and Lemon Poppy come in at 2nd together. Just depends on what you’re in the mood for. Candy Cap being warm with maple notes, Lemon Poppy being fresh with light creamy citrus notes.“

“Have been coming here for a few years since they first opened despite living in the peninsula. Inioelmi croissant is A++++. Now they’ve introduced salt bread, the roti and plain might be new favorites. Love their drinks as well, einspanner and orange blossom are my go tos. I appreciate that they’re super consistent. Here and arsicault are my perfect pastry day. So lovely!“

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

“After moving to San Anselmo in 1996, I finally visited M.H. Bread and Butter, drawn in by the crowds. Ms. Jenny, the manager, suggested trying the lemon bread, Queen Aman, raspberry croissants, and 'medium country' bread. Brahim, the owner's brother, highlighted the positives of working there. The area's connections to the Grateful Dead, Metallica, and Huey Lewis and the News and was at one time Bonnie Raite an Santana's residence make it even more special.“

“Couldn’t wait to sink our teeth into these amazing egg tarts, freshly baked (one of the best!). We were lucky to catch them while they were open since they have random hours. After years of waiting to get them again, these egg tarts are still just as eggy, custardy, warm and flaky (ie, delicious) as ever“

“I never write reviews unless the experience and food was 10/10…. Well this my friends was indeed a 10/10. Well worth the hype! Every pastry was so delicious and the customer service was great! I was met with a smile and great attitude from an employee after waiting In line since 7:56am. I would do it all over again!“

“Baked Blooms absolutely came through for me last minute! I needed three boxes of cupcake bouquets for a Sweet 15, and they were able to help me on very short notice. I called the day before just to see if there was any way they could make it happen, and Sarah was so kind and accommodating. She went out of her way to set everything aside for me and made the whole process stress free.

The cupcake bouquets were beautiful and such a hit at the party. You can really tell they care about their customers and put love into what they do. I’m so grateful for their help and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for both amazing treats and excellent customer service!“

“Favorite place for egg tarts after trying many others, flaky crust and super soft filling that’s just the right amount of ‘not too sweet’. Price is more reasonable than many other places. Lady behind the counter tries to upsell but in a friendly way so I didn’t mind. At least not rude or impatient or just neutral and all business like at some other places. Not much ambience to speak of, it’s your typical small bakery counter.“

“Acme Bread is a fantastic stop for anyone who appreciates artisan baking. The beautifully displayed loaves feature unique, handcrafted scoring patterns that make each one look like a work of art. The bread is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with exceptional care and craftsmanship, making the bakery as enjoyable to admire as it is to eat.“

“We went hiking in mt tam and randomly came across this place. The chocolate cake was divine. So moist and flavorful. Apparently they only make that one cake and it’s what the whole town buys. The gentleman on the counter was also very helpful.“

“Great value and really good Hawaiian plate lunch. Had a bbq combo plate between two people and were both full after. Looking forward to coming back! Can’t wait to try the spam musubi next time, saw a guy order one extra crispy and he gave us a knowing nod.“
