50 Best Bakeries near Del Mar

“I cannot believe after having been in the Carmel Valley Delmar area and so many times to Delmar Plaza, this was the first Time that I tried this beautiful Parisian bakery Café ?✨

They have the most wonderful atmosphere, the the most delectable True Parisian Desserts and delicacies, special finds gifts, mints, and chocolates… the little things that you can give to people that make them smile

One of the owners family was there and Estee was absolutely wonderful

And I say that because a song was on by the Bee Gees when I walked in with my friend, and I began to sing and she was so lovely and so nice and so gracious and I don’t know that she knew what hit her but I was completely impressed and it would be a wonderful place for a ladies tea coffee or gathering for all ???“

“I love an Open Kitchen! Watching the Bakers work, using quality flour, and a clean environment, all the key indicators of a wonderful Bakery!I got the whole wheat focaccia and a baguette, Amy picked up a morning bun and an almond croissant, everyone loved the croissant, I heard remarks such as perfectly balanced, sweet but not too sweet and “did you finish it?” The baguette was sweet and begging to be made into a sandwich.I’m big into focaccia these days and I appreciate a whole wheat half pan, crisp on the edges, large pockets of air and a gentle finish of olive oil. This is a great snack and ready for any dipping or side action.The coffees were excellent! I had an oat milk latte with an extra shot. I’ll be back!“

“Delicious food and great value, great atmosphere“

“the other day we got the cornbread flavor and it was so disappointing unfortunately. it was the one we had highest expectatations for because we love cornbread, but it just tasted like a sugar cookie, no cornbread flavor. their other flavors are good (usually) but i hope they improve on this one“

“Very unique and beautiful! Best experience!“

“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!!!❤️“

“We went this afternoon for their Soft Opening. They had a great array of Chinese deserts from Snowball Mochi, Organic Jujube Cake, Pork Floss Cake, Ice Taro Mochi, Mochi Balls, and many more. They also offered different drinks such as a Strawberry Milk Drink and Blueberry Milk Drink which were delicious. We decided to try some of their sample desserts and they were delicious and not overly sweet. The sample had great flavors. We decided to bring our order home and it was delicious.

The Cafe or bakery is nicely decorated and is nice and bright inside.

The customer service was great as the staff explained to us what the different types of deserts were. One of the staff even remembered us from yesterday when we had stopped by but they were not opened yet. I believe she may have been the owner. They were all very friendly and helpful.

Overall we we will be returning to this Cafe or bakery because of the delicious desserts and fantastic service.“

“I just came back from my japan trip and been on a mission to find Japanese cheese cake, I've tried a couple places but none are the same or even close, uncle tetsu's strawberry one was pretty close on the texture , and the flavor was pretty good!“

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

“I was there for my birthday my husband told the personal that and they don’t even say congrats or something they wasn’t busy, I didn't like the customer service, it seemed like they didn't want to help us ??‍♀️. But the food was good.“

“Breakfast burrito with chicken & avocado is a certified banger. I eat this almost every morning & it gets me primed to tackle work & gym after. Dawn is the best at making these but everyone else is really cool too. Love this place a lot. Highly recommend to everyone else to get a bite & also get to know the people here.

Vegetarian options: I’m not vegetarian but they do have a lot of veggie options. I think they have the green goodness or goddess bowl that I like getting for lunch. Eating as is would be good except I always get it with chicken.“

“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“

“First time trying Crumbl and first time ordering from this store, I ordered on the app. The parking was easy to find, however I went during rush hour and the area itself was super busy. I went to pickup my order and it was already waiting for me which was a very easy in and out process“

“Four paws up! Love me their Thanksgiving dinner.“

“We have purchased many cakes and pastries from this location and all very tasty. We have purchased our birthday cakes for our son and ourselves multiple times here.So many fresh tasty treats there and beverages too! There is also a option to sit inside if you don't enjoy the main eating lobby. I hope that they finds a new home in the new Zion market as Zion is looking to move around May 2024 or so.I love the convenience of shopping at both places in one trip. We'll see I suppose. Till then...

Parking: Open parking lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: All one level.“

“The donuts and the staff were amazing. My kids loved the place and all the innovative donuts. Dinged two stars on atmosphere because the complex doesn’t have clearly marked restrooms and my kids needed to wash their sticky hands. The landlord should be ashamed.

Vegetarian options: Tons of vegetarian donuts.

Kid-friendliness: Super fun and beautiful donuts for kids.“

“Was looking for a red bean bun and found this place. Very impressed with the variety of breads, cakes and buns (bao buns) here. They have Asian flavors that are not easily found in other Asian bakeries like pandan and of course they also have staples like taro, red bean, pork buns etc.

On the weekend, they'd have special pastry (I'd have to come back and check them out) and they also sell some drinks like Vietnamese coffee and milk tea.

The lady behind the counter was nice and friendly. Bring cash if you don't want to pay the 3% service charge.“

“Fabulous foods and goodies. Love this place.“

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

“Grabbed some cookies from the farmers market while in town visiting family. I’m addicted! When I learned they shipped, I placed a huge order! The red velvet are my absolute favorite but I tried several other flavors which were also delicious! I will be a regular!“

“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“

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

“Great selection of Food Excellent Service!!!“

“Fun flavors, friendly staff, and cute little shop. Cupcakes themselves are good but not amazing. The cake was a bit dry, and to some degree there is only a good cake or not good cake; hard to be blown away by anything there. The frosting/flavors add fun options and were where the cupcakes were good, making up for the deficit in the cakes themselves. Overall, it’s a fun shop, definitely worth a try or two!“

“delicious cookies and amazing staff!“

“The double chocolate cheesecake is to die for!!!! SO SO SO creamy!!! chocolate cheesecake lovers dream.
Place is super clean, the atmosphere here is always welcoming, and the workers are also SUPER DUPER HELPFUL. 10/10 all around.“

“Picked up some gf sourdough today at the street fair and it is delicious! I also sampled the cinnamon roll, lemon blueberry muffin and chocolate chip cookies, all delectable! If you get the chance, I would definitely give them a try!

Dietary restrictions: All items are gluten free!“

“We just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to SusieCakes for making Audrey’s day today. She had just come from a vaccine doctor appointment and I promised she could pick out a special cupcake that I’d planned to pay for with cash. But due to COVID changes, only credit cards are accepted and I’d completely forgotten mine. We went to check the car for a card with no luck, and while out there, the employee came out with Audrey’s cupcake as a ‘gift’ instead. THANK YOU for making my daughter’s day because I was feeling so bad I was going to have to skip her special treat because I didn’t have the right form of payment. We’ll be back for sure! The cupcake was delicious!!“

“Sadly I came right at the tail end of the day and majority of the goods were sold out. Dummy me - I should of went earlier when I first walked by. Thankfully I did get to have the Oatmeal Chocolate and now I am SO sad that there wasn’t more! As you can tell I ate the cookie before I even had the chance to take a photo of it. Also the guy (I’m so bad with names) working at the counter definitely gave me a smile & a laugh - so major kudos to his amazing personality. Too bad I fly out tomorrow morning or I could go tomorrow and try again but I’ll be back to try the cookie when I come back in November! Anxiously waiting!“

“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!“

“I ordered the customized cake for my husband’s birthday. Maryam created the exact design that i wanted exactly. The cake tasted awesome delicious. Everyone in party liked the taste. Huge Thanks Cakey Bakey for always such a beautiful design and taste made it. I'm so glad to know your place. You are always helpful and kind. Always good service from Cakey Bakey ?❤️“

“The taro bingsoo was so gooooooood!“

“A cute bakery decorated in blue. The interior of the store is based on white with blue and wood accents, creating a refreshing atmosphere. The breads are neatly arranged in the showcases and shelves, and that alone makes you feel good. The lineup of small items such as coffee and tote bags for sale is also cute.“

“Everything. The yummy food treats to the extras like candles, cards and a few more celebratory decorations. SusieCakes loves to help you celebrate the holidays and other events.“

“I'm a loyal Lady M fan from New Jersey and only visited this location once. Its selection is a bit limited compared to the stores in the NYC area, but still quite good nonetheless. Green tea and chocolate are my favorites, though they may not always be available.“

“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…“

“I ordered two Birthday cakes for a double Birthday party for my husband and my sister. I was amazed by the design and more importantly, the taste of these two heavenly cakes.I can’t thank Mahya enough not only for creating these two beautiful and delicious cakes but also saving me time for delivering them herself.“

“We are here in San Diego for our vacation. We are going to see our daughter's friend. Our daughter asks if we want to go to Nothing Bundt Cakes? Of course we said "We love their cakes"!!!! No matter where they are located we are there!!“

“La Jolla Baking Co.
Can you please add more "Brioche French Toast" to Costco shelf? After I taste it I've been looking for it but I don't see it anymore at Costco...only sourdough and buns. I love It!!!
Thank you
Inah“

“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 ordered a pack of Spanish Bread and a spicy chicken empanada, and they were delicious! The only thing I would change would be the amount of filling in the Spanish bread, but everything else was great. The staff were nice and packed everything up nicely. I’ll definitely be back.

Parking: It’s mixed with the whole plaza, so the parking is almost busy all the time.

Kid-friendliness: There are brownies and cakes.“

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

“Amazing spot for coffee in La Jolla.

The place is beautiful and the lavender latte and pistachio croissant were both delicious perfection.

We hung out for an hour or so and the place stayed busy the whole time on a Monday afternoon and it’s clear why.“

“Pleasant people, very accommodating,the place is clean“

“Nice relaxing evening chai place. The Bollywood song videos played on TV could sometimes get inappropriate for kids/teens based on US MPAA censor standards. Regarding food, few bakery items are prepared and supplied from LA. Prefer the dishes that get prepared by order at the in-house kitchen. Cakes could seem pricey, but hey, they are eggless and not many options like that nearby.

Vegetarian options: Serves only vegetarian food.“

“Their cookies are to die for!
I always order the iced chai with espresso or the vanilla iced latte. Great flavor no weird after taste or like other drinks that taste like pure sugar.

The cookies I love are the Oreo, Dulce de leche and brown chocolate chip.

Always packaged nicely and clean !

Thank you ?“
