Excellent bakery with friendly staff in a quiet nook of San Ramon/Danville.
The bakery is small but the pastries are mighty.
According to my better half, the plain croissant was “light, buttery, flaky… it was everything I could have hoped for, and more”. And judging by the dusting of flakes on her shirt, I know she’s telling it like it is.

Their chocolate chip cookies are the best I’ve had anywhere. Also try their basque cheesecake if they have it in stock.
Pastries are always amazing. Their almond croissant is my go to order there. The staff is super friendly as well and just tried their coffee and was great as well.

East Bay Bakery is a small bakery that offers a variety of pastries, bread, and sandwiches. The atmosphere is inviting, and the staff is friendly, providing good customer service. The bread and croissants have a perfect balance of crisp and flake, with layers upon layers and a lovely golden crust, thanks to the use of high-quality butter. The bakery excels in maintaining a balance of sweet and savory flavors, offering a wide variety of freshly baked items.
The almond croissant has a flaky and crunchy exterior, but some customers find the ends a bit dry and the almond paste filling too sweet and overpowering. The apple braid is a popular choice, with a crispy crunchy texture and the right amount of filling. The chocolate croissant could use more chocolate, as the thin line of chocolate is barely noticeable. The blueberry Danish is highly praised for its explosion of blueberry flavor and perfect crispiness.
Other favorites include scones, which are crumbling and crunchy on the edges and buttery and billow-y in the center; morning buns, flaky, buttery, and sweet with just the right amount of cinnamon sugar filling; and apple danish, packed with sweet apple filling and baked to perfection. The prices are considered fair considering the high-quality ingredients used. Most items are grab and go, with some seating outside available. Overall, East Bay Bakery is a great spot for delicious pastries and bread, and customers are encouraged to give it a try.
