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😋“

“Breakfast is definitely the best thing here.“

“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.“

“The lady that owns the shop is so sweet and her service was amazing! The pineapple buns were still warm and very fresh. There’s also a huge variety of moon cakes to choose from! You can tell she takes pride in her business and everything is made with love.“

“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.“

“Absolutely loved the egg tarts. The crust was perfectly flaky and the custard was smooth, rich, and not overly sweet. The surprise add-on of cinnamon on top made it even better, it added such a cozy, unique flavor that really stood out. Fresh, delicious, and definitely worth coming back for. Highly recommend.“

“If you can get a table in this place, you are a very lucky person because all the dishes are fantastic.
You can still hope for a table on the sidewalk if the weather is clement.
All pastries and savory dishes are of the highest quality and the highest level. You cannot go wrong here!!!
Of course, the price is correlated to the quality but it is all worth it!“

“The bakery here is at the elevated level of beauty, aroma, and taste. People said that good bakery can look like jewelry boxes. I am not fond of jewelry, but I of course love bakery! The marcipan, almond paste, and meringe in each piece of the pastry is rich and aromatic. The price point is reasonable compared with the quality. I now would love to try all other items as well. Worth stopping by to make your weekend more special.“

“If you’re looking for Chinese baked breads, this is the place to be. Their bbq pork buns are so good that I’ve driven out of my way multiple times to eat them. The one catch is they sometimes sell at various points in the day which means sometimes having to wait 10-20 minutes for the next batch.

Cash only.“

“Cannoli was pretty good. Definitely not bad but not the best either but well priced for $6. Cavelli's has a better tasting filling for my taste and all around better at $9-$10 and is a bigger shell. But definitely a decent cannoli here at Victoria.“

“Great coffee and pastries.“

“I was walking around the neighborhood looking for a light breakfast; so grateful I came upon this cafe. The outdoor only seating was perfect for this beautiful sunny day. They had many pastries that I was not familiar with and host was so kind to talk me through them. So I got enjoy the sunshine, great customer service, new treats to enjoy!“

“Consistently the best dim sum in the neighborhood! I’ve been coming here for over a decade, and it’s not only delicious but also incredibly reliable—especially important for someone like me with a sensitive stomach. The quality has never wavered. Truly a hidden gem!“

“The bakery is located in a quieter part of Clement Street, and offers a really nice outside patio to try their goods. I had their famous koya toast, and it was good — especially their bread (made in house) that was perfectly toasted. It had a small line that ran pretty fast, and their store and staff are very welcoming.“

“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🥰!“

“Mariposa Bakery is excellent place to have breakfast or a sweet snack while at the Ferry Building in San Francisco. Tables and benches along the pier by the water is perfect for enjoying the sights including passenger ferries and the Bay Bridge.

Line can be long so recommend you go at an off time between breakfast and lunch or later in the day.

Great to also bring back home or your hotel if visiting“

“蛋撻 I tried their egg tarts and overall had a good experience. Both the yellow egg tart and the white fresh milk egg tart have a very nice egg flavor. They are not overly sweet, which I really appreciate—the sweetness level is just right and well balanced.

The filling is smooth and flavorful, and you can tell good ingredients are used. However, the crust is where it falls slightly short for me. The pastry is more like a combined or pressed flaky crust, rather than the traditional old-style egg tart crust with very distinct, visible layers. It’s still pleasant, just not as crisp and layered as a classic version.

Taking everything together, I would give it about a 7.5 out of 10. If the crust could be improved to have that classic, multi-layered flaky texture, these egg tarts would be close to perfect. That said, they are still very enjoyable, and I would recommend trying them if you like egg tarts that are flavorful and not too sweet.“

“I was following Google map and got lost right in front of the factory, as I didn't expect such a small humble entrance. 😅😅
Inside of the factory was even more humble than I expected, but it was interesting to see how to make fortune cookies right in front of my eyes. You will be standing close enough to feel the heat from the machine 🤣
When you pay $3.50, you can write a personal message on a paper and the staff there will put that paper in a fortune cookie, which is so cute!
If you go to Chinatown in San Francisco, which is the world biggest Chinatown in the world, it is worth to stop by this factory to bring a little fun to your friends and family.
My usual experience of fortune cookie was dry and tasteless, but their fortune cookies were like Japaness soft senbei. YUM!“

“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!!“

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

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

“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.“

“Ordered a seeded levain bread to go, a lemon scone and the blueberry maple syrup muffin. Perfectly ready early and was notified which was great. The muffin and scone were excellent…tasty! The bread, which is a tad pricey (12.50) was overdone on the bottom so unfortunately the overpowering taste was burnt. Decided to salvage the excellent bread by cutting off the burned bottom! I have not experienced this at other fine, artisan bakeries in the area. May have to try the epi!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 🥖“

“What a cute little bakery! I came here by chance after an event at the bookstore on the corner, and I'm really glad I did. Other bakeries are pretty chaotic, loud, and intimidating. This one is very chill and calm. The auntie at the counter patiently takes your order, I can't say that for all Chinatown bakeries! I got a green onion bun, a bo-lo bao (called a pineapple bun, because it looks like a pineapple), a cha siu bolo bao, a ham and cheese bao. All were really light and fluffy. My favorite was the cha siu bolo bao! But, also the mango mochi, that were on the counter, those were really really good and my family finished those in minutes. Highly recommend making the trip down Wavery to find i-Cafe!“

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

“Wow, wow, wow.... hands down and by far the best cookie I've eaten. We were staying just down the street and could smell the deliciousness as we walked down the street, we had to go in and find out what smelled so amazing. Best decision of our entire trip. The fresh made cookies were phenomenal. I have told everyone about them. I'll definitely be going back today before heading to the airport. I only wish we could get it in TN. So yummy!!“

“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.?“

“Excellent choice for local, cheap dim sum in the Chinatown area of SF. You will see people ordering in bulk from here as they are also providers for other restaurants in the area.

There is seating outside with the shed they built. Pieces of dimsum or buns are cheap and ten dollars will get you full for a few hours of walking and exploring the city! Enjoy this hidden gem!“

“We were in Japan Town one late afternoon and was having boba sundae when I suddenly realized that Jina Bakes was just across the store we were. Items were 50% already since it’s almost closing time. We got the Injeolmi Croissant, Kalbijjim Croissant and Hotteok Kouign-amann.

The Injeolmi Croissant was my favorite! It was a great balance of the soft, chewy mochi and the crispy, flaky croissant. The Hotteok Kouign-amann was sensational! The sweet gooey filling was balanced by the nuts and croissant itself. The Kalbijjim Croissant was ok but not worth the original price of $8.50 (since I got this for $4.25 only, it was ok). The center filling was more of an empanada filling (like potatoes and peas) and you can’t taste any kalbijjim. It’s still good for a savory pastry but maybe put more of the kalbijjim.

We had these to go and ate it a day after. The breads are still good upon heating it a bit in the toaster.“

“I had lunch here with a friend and it was such a nice break. Sitting on the sunny terrace at the picnic tables gave it a real vacation feel. The lunch options are fresh and farm-to-table inspired, simple but well done. The bread is excellent, so good that I brought one home. A relaxed spot with good food and an easy, pleasant atmosphere.“

“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.“

“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!“

“They make a mean HK style milk tea - best served hot. Taken together with their buns it’s a match made for epicurean excellence. It tastes so good. Ended up buying a whole box and taking it to the beach . It’s a if-you-know-you-know type of place. Hugely underrated.“

“The best bagel we’ve ever had.
Never expected this small place to be so amazing but it definitely is.
I had the lox one with avocado, it costed something like 15$ which is a totally decent price for what you get.
All the ingredients felt so fresh!“

“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“

“super authentic buns/baked good place in chinatown. they have vegan options. they only take cash or zelle. you get the real thing there. person didn’t speak english with me, but that was no problem at all as everything is labeled.
it’s just takeaway. no space to sit down.“

“Χριστός Ανέστη! I couldn't be with my family for Easter this year so they sent me a care package from Glyka Sweets. I am so grateful for this feeling of home that your sweets gave me. And, the tsoureki and koulourakia were absolutely delicious! 10 out of 10. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful day!“

“Overall amazingly great, the pastries are very good and soft just like iv seen and dreamed of tasting when seen them on instagram and tiktok videos. Great employees and great atmosphere it tends to get bit crowded due to being a popular spot.“

“This outlet in Ferry Terminal is a great option for affordable grab and go items. They have a few sandwiches and some delicious turnovers as well as muffins and croissants. For $7 the ham and Gruyere turnover is a yummy and filling meal. Walk out to Bayside and grab a bench for dining with a view of Treasure Island and the Bay Bridge.“

“Amazing bread and croissants! Also love the brown butter chocolate chip cookies. A must have stop at the Farmer's market Thurs in San Rafael. Cannot wait until he has his own brick and mortar store. xo“

“Ive been to Butter & Crumble four times so far. My wait times in line have been: 15 minutes, 45 , 1 hour 45, 2 hours respectively. I can safely say that a 4.4 star rating for this place is absolutely criminal. Its the same phenomena I witnessed at Benu.

Customers come prepared with hyper inflated expectations not overpromised or curated by the establishment. They nit pick and complain about minor details (minimalistic decor in the case of Benu), and pastry price or line wait times for Butter and Crumble.

Yet, they overlook the deep ways that the business has evolved and its even deeper roots.

Name another pastry shop that it has the inspiring Grandmother's rolling pin framed in the corner. Name another pastry shop that has the father of the Owner working register and smiling genuinely at each customer. Name another pastry shop where you see the owner sprinting, smiling, working the drink area, handing drinks to customers, and grinding all things pastry and management. I doubt even Cédric Grolet can be seen wearing all of these hats.

Each time i've visited - the business has evolved to been even more considerate of its neighbors, customers, and community.

I doubt the majority of the less than favorable reviewers have ever worked a 5am baking shift in their life. I havent myself, but my mother was a baker and it's non-stop movement from start to finish. Even breaks only offer short reprieve until the bakers re-enter the sweltering pace of production to meet customer demand.

My original favorite pastry was at Arsicaults OG location until scale and expansion has made their quality still stellar, but variable. My favorite since my first visit is Butter & Crumble.

If SF and the community at large would like to keep this gem prismatic and multifaceted. Please begin or continue to acknowledge how great the product is and how hard the owner and workers labor to provide it for our community.

I would re-wait in the 2 hour line (I nearly did once already) for pastries of this quality. The price is fair and could be astronomically higher as a way to quell demand, but i respect and appreciate the prices as they are.

Thank you Butter & Crumble. My managers and coworkers also appreciate the quality you've provided.

BTW, this months Baklava Latte is insanely good. The Pistachio Cardamom Croissant continues to be world class and it even improves with each visit.“

“This is a peculiar review, as I have never gone to Fillmore Bakeshop, nor do I even live anywhere near it; I actually live in Puerto Rico. But one of my best friends lives in San Francisco and wanted something special for his birthday cake this year. He's never been knowledgeable about baking but got into it when we binged the baking competition show Crime Scene Kitchen together, so I did my research on good bakeries near his home and found out about Fillmore.

I decided to contact Fillmore Bakeshop myself despite living so far away, to see if something could be done for my friend's birthday, and we quickly came to a consensus, so I sent the money to my friend so he could purchase the agreed upon birthday cake. My friend's birthday was a few days ago, and he had nothing but praise for Fillmore's atmosphere, service, and especially the cake. Not only was the cake lovely to look at, he and his loved ones raved about the flavor, they were absolutely delighted.

What's more, the employee who spoke with me via e-mail exchanges was kind, helpful, pleasant and professional, which just made the whole process of getting a special birthday cake for my friend all the better. I cannot praise the customer service enough, especially for living so far away from their shop. I can safely say that my friend and I will be sure to get more special treats from Fillmore Bakeshop in the future.“

“Red Hill Cake & Pastry in San Anselmo is a rare gem. I’ve tried a variety of their little quick foods and pastries, and every item has been exceptionally fresh, thoughtfully crafted, and full of flavor. The quality of the ingredients is evident in every bite — clean, balanced, and never overly sweet. What truly sets Red Hill apart is the harmony between elevated pastry craftsmanship and approachable pricing. It carries the charm of a European-style patisserie with a subtle New York bodega sensibility. A standout destination in Marin/Sonoma County for anyone who appreciates high-quality desserts done right.“
