49 Best Bakeries near Del Mar

“I like the cookies. But the last time I went to Crumbl, we walked in and waited for six minutes. The worker in the store totally ignored us. Finally, we tried the self-checkout, but the credit card reader wasn’t working. So we waited for five more minutes. She still ignored us. Finally, we got her attention, and we had to enter the credit card number manually.

I only gave it four stars because the worker could tell we were upset, so she gave us a free cookie. Also, $5.50 for one cookie?!“

“Delicious food and great value, great atmosphere“

“The pastries here are out of this world! All of the ingredients are imported from France, which makes a huge difference because it’s less sugar and better quality than American ingredients. The seasonal menu is wonderful. I got the caramel apple butter chai iced latte and a pumpkin spice cinnamon roll as well as some cakes. Really recommend the chai I got. It’s my new favorite drink I’m obsessed. The staff are very kind and knowledgeable. They take pride in their food and take care of the space. They were super friendly and helpful. Everything is baked fresh daily and flavors for the rolled and cubed croissants change everyday, so you never know what you will get, but it’s guaranteed delicious. They are known for their rolled, square, and filled croissants, so be sure to try those. The chocolate croissants are excellent. Literally everything is so good you can’t go wrong. The cakes are life changing incredible. I recommend everyone try at least one. Some are gluten free so just ask. My favorites are le nuage, guava strawberry, le royal, vanilla bean tart, blackberry earl grey, mango passion fruit, the list goes on… They also have a whole wall of products from France and Europe. They even have Swedish candy! I got the Nina’s Marie Antoinette tea and Swedish candy and they were both so delicious. Love this place.“

“We stopped by Darshan Bakery hoping to grab a cinnamon roll, but they were out at the time. We ended up getting the pull-apart cinnamon roll instead. The flavor was good, but I do wish it had been served warm or at least offered the option to warm it up. The bakery itself has a cozy vibe, we went at 9:20am, we’d definitely give it another try earlier in the day next time.“

“Only had lunch here two times but it was absolutely the best deli meal I have had and I am originally from Manhattan. The food is the best, generous portions, the staff is great, prices are good for today’s times and for what you get. We will be back!!!❤️“

“Had a fantastic first-time visit to YikoYiko in San Diego while celebrating a birthday for a family member --- came on a recommendation since I'm not local, and it did not disappoint!

This spot is a super cute little shop that instantly screams elite bakery vibes. Watching the girls in the back hustle like true professionals was a highlight, beautiful to see that level of craft in action.

We grabbed a cake that was outstanding: perfectly moist with a light, balanced sweetness that let the all the flavors shine without overwhelming my tongue with sugar. Loved the thoughtful touch of the included little cutter kit, so convenient for easy serving.

This is absolutely the kind of place you return to just to try everything else on the menu. Highly recommend for birthdays or any special treat!“

“The cookies 🍪 are amazing!“

“Absolutely delish and the nicest people work at the bakery..“

“The cheesecakes here are so good. Super soft, moist, and fluffy! They’re slightly sweet, which is so addicting. I love the original flavor the most. The pandan one wasn’t that good.
The strawberry burnt basque cakes is also very good. It’s better than the original one.
Parking sucks though because the shop shares a small lot with many other stores, so it’s always difficult to find parking unless you come right when they open.“

“Everything is spectacular but i especially looooove their lemon bars! 🧡“

“Great Italian Pastries and coffee in the morning and perfect Italian sandwiches at lunch. Ken and his family know how to bake!“

“I'm retired but I like it more than others because the service here is fast and they always have cookies available

Parking: I think it's okay except that there are more businesses and a restaurant on one side and it takes longer but it is very big“

“This was the most amazing cookie that I ever tried in my life, even though it was kinda hard, but you just have to warm it up and yeah, I really liked eating here. Definitely coming back for more. Definitely tell my friends about this. I’m here just for free cookie bye.“

“Really solid cheesecake. The passion fruit is my favorite. I would love a bit more tang and a slightly thicker texture, but it is still delicious. We took it home and dressed it with fresh berries, which made it even better. Definitely one of my go-to spots for a special-occasion dessert.“

“delicious cookies and amazing staff!“

“hands down the BEST earl grey matcha I’ve ever had ‼️ ITS LIFE CHANGING ‼️ I want this in my system 24/7 🙂‍↕️ (also, shoutout to the worker that gave us the biggest piece of black sesame butter motchi💗 may the sun always shine on u and both sides of ur pillow stay cold)“

“Delicious fresh and hot handmade donuts! They even have Gluten free!“

“Peanut butter brownie bites! Sampled at the Encinitas Rotary wine and food festival. Beautiful display and the best brownie bites and cupcakes I’ve ever eaten; beyond delicious.“

“Came here this Thursday morning right when they opened. They have limited parking and bakery will validate. We ordered the ham & cheese croissant and it was very flakey and delicious. Also, ordered the chocolate monkey bread, almond monkey bread, and the almond croissant. Lady behind the counter was very nice and friendly. When we left the bakery, there was a line out the door“

“i love this place! their coffee and taro cake rolls are my family's personal favorite. its fluffy, flavorful, and not too sweet! they do sell out quick though! so i highly recommend going early unless you want frozen rolls! the cake rolls pair nicely with soymilk. the owners are really friendly and will go to long lengths to search for your desired flavor! 10/10!“

“Thank you Woofpac for dropping off some Advent calendars at our veterinary hospital! These are honestly the first treats that every single one of my dogs loved! I will be stopping by Irvine Spectrum soon to get them more goodies 🐶❤️“

“Food from heaven! I moved away from San Diego but I asked my friend to take balboa bakery all the way for me. My persian azizam pissed them off saying this is not even the authentic middle eastern bakery but trust me that little brown flower will make you forget what authenticity is“

“If you want to taste French pastries in Santiago, don't hesitate to choose this place, with affordable prices and a great environment😊“

“They made the best Swedish Princess cake for my mil’s 95th birthday. It was beautiful and such a big hit, everyone loved it. We had plenty left over to send people home with a piece, and we had left overs. It tasted even better the next day, as we were not stiffed from lunch! Amazing detail, texture and flavor.“

“Delicious scratch-made food! I had the breakfast special and the plate was full to the brim of yummy eggs, breakfast potatoes with onions & bacon and toasted, buttered baguette! And, oh! The coffee (I had the Le Praline) was divine! My friends and I sat outside and I could almost swear I was back in Paris, leisurely watching the world go by!“

“So good! I tried the cinnamon roll and was absolutely blown away! In my option it’s the best gf cinnamon roll I’ve ever had. Even my gluten eating fiancé was impressed and said he couldn’t tell it was gf. The honey nut bread is tasty and so was the cookie that I sampled. I’m excited to try all the things!“

“Like a few others here, I am a native New Yorker with a love for authentic and delicious rugulach with proper and freash ingredients.Chewy's rugulach is the best there is here on the west coast.I pick up the chocolate rugulach at the cookie bar at Whole Foods Market in El Segundo, and you should too! Just the most delicious snack one could ask for. Love the raspberry (not usually a Raspberry fan of anything) and the apricot as well!“

“Food is delicious with great affordable prices. Definitely worth the drive.“

“Best 5am service today for my flight back to Atlanta!! BEST YUMMIES!!! She was the nicest server and very kind for 5am!!!!“

“My girlfriend and I have been coming to this PB for a long time and we have noticed a difference texture and flavor of the matcha compared to other PB locations. We brought it up to an employee and mentioned how they're using a different matcha powder. They were very nice to remake them and add sweetner but my concern is as to why the type of powder is not standardized between all branches.“

“Excellent cakes — I give them 5/5. You can really tell they use quality ingredients. I’ve bought from them more than once and definitely not for the last time. The last time I purchased a cake, they even treated me to some pastries, which was a very pleasant surprise.

The only thing I’d like to mention — and I hope they fix it after this comment — is the hours of operation. It says they’re open until 9 PM, but in reality they close at 8.“

“My daughter brought me a banana vegan cake 🍰 And it was amazing ❤️❤️❤️“

“The taro bingsoo was so gooooooood!“

“You know vacation time you always crave special and that's what I got to experience... The Mad For Cheesecake was so delightful. They have special varieties that you can pick and choose any and would be delighted. I experienced the matcha roll cake omg ..I just couldn't stop eating... the creme filling was smooth and very tasty. I had tried at least 5-6 varieties of cakes and was so happy that it was there in the party menu as well... by end of the party there was none left... it was so yummy... The strawberry boba tea became my kiddo's absolute favourite. I would highly suggest the place. The staff is patient and helpful.“

“Trining’s is “in transition” and it shows. The front is a bit disorganized, but well divided into baked goods and ready-made take out products. The menu is hand-written on a wall-mounted white board (see pictures), but is easily understood and clearly legible.

Now, for the food—Very good! Loved the lumpia. The sweet chili sauce had just a hint of heat to it. Perfect!

We also got chicken adobo and pancit. Both were excellent. Since I ordered two combos to go, I was very careful not to tip the containers and tried to avoid contaminating the pancit with adobo sauce. All for naught. I must have leaned on the brakes a bit too heavily because the very fluid adobo sauce obeyed the laws of physics and colored both the pancit and lumpia. With dark, rich, peppery adobo flavoring. But—it was still great! The chicken adobo was tender and tasty, and the pancit was yummy, even though it tasted more like adobo than pancit. The lumpia, as I expected, was to die for. Crisp and crunchy with a hint of heat from the chili sauce. So good!

Well done Trining’s. Get your front together and I’ll be back. Can I bring some friends with me? I’ve got some East coast buddies who think egg rolls are the bomb. Your lumpia can easily blow that theory out of the water…“

“Their food was amazing! I had the panini vegano and I’ve been searching online how to make that eggplant tofu paste. Everything went so well in that sandwich! It also had olives, vegan feta, arugula and a hint of harissa (in the menu it said red bell pepper or something like that, but I believe they used harissa and it was the best!!). I can’t wait to go again and get the same and get other things haha. My partner and I also tried their pistachio croissant, which h was delicious! Their matcha was great, and the drinks highlight was their dirty chai. Everything was sooo good!“

“I usually never review things but I had to for cakey bakey. The cake looked lovely and they made it happen even before the scheduled delivery/date. We had to change plans last minute but they were willing to do everything with no problems and took care of all the details we wanted. Thank you so much again!“

“We love love love getting birthday cakes for our kids from Siavash at this Vons bakery! Over the past three years, we’ve purchased 4 different cupcake “pull away” cakes and they are so wonderful! Incredibly delicious, beautifully designed, and so clearly made with care. We generally share our theme with Siavash and he makes something that wonderfully adds to the party theme - we’ve had a flower party, a racecar party, a rainbow party, etc. Highly recommend getting your cakes here for your next birthday party! Thank you, Siavash and team!“

“Hidden lil gem! (Inside supermarket to the left from entrance, across from Ngon Ngon, my other fave)
Turon: nice and crispy cronchy. Not super sugary or heavy, very delicious
Carioca: Sugary, nice crunchy crust, bit of coconut flavor on inside.
Only 1$ each!!!!!
Cash is easier for the lady but they do have tap to pay, owner is a bit older 🥺 so I recommend cash.
Got a pan of ube hopia as well but haven't tried yet because I'm bringing to share, anyway I recommend checking this place out!“

“Best Gluten free, pure REAL ingredients that tastes AMAZING! I only put in what I know my body recognizes and I can trust without question every bite of Island Girl Bakes that I'm eating good for me FOOD! I tell everyone I know about this company because IT IS THAT AWESOME!“

“I enjoyed a wonderful Princess cake these fine folks made me. It was a smash with familyand friends .“

“I discovered their sourdough bread at Costco couple years ago and since then, it has become a staple at our house. It’s SO GOOD I eat a slice or two every morning with Irish butter, and as soon as I run out I go to Costco, lol. It’s the best sourdough bread and I always look forward to enjoying it with my coffee.“

“The staff was great in assisting us. Sadly the mocha cake bar doesnt taste the same as the mocha roll or mocha square it lacks that distinct taste. The chiffon doesnt taste mocha color texture are so different so im very disappointed because its one of the cakes we have for xmas and no one likes it. Ive chosen that over 85degrees mocha macchiato cake.“

“Hole in the wall store front. First visit and regret not stopping here many times before - definitely some of the best food in SD - the seeded baguette was really good - the walnut scone was better (not as hard) at the Carlsbad store (back to back visits).“

“Best scones outside of Scotland. Proper British shape. Fantastic ❤️“

“We come here for the Gluten free cakes they are so good. You can’t tell it’s Gluten Free at all! Our friend had surgery and we wanted to do some special so we got the 3 tier mini cake combo with a bow . She loved the cakes! We will be back soon! Thank you Sofia for the great service!!“
