50 Best Bakeries near East Palo Alto

“On the way back for the morning, we stopped by Emmanuel’s Pizza and Bakery to get our lunch. This time, we bought a Large Pizza with 3 toppings ($32 inclusive of taxes) and we chose BBQ chicken, chorizo and mushroom which turned out to be very delicious. They were made-to-order and we waited for about 25 minutes for the pizza to be boxed up, fresh from the oven for us.

Back at our AirBnB, we found Emmanuel’s Pizza to be so delicious! Love the crust and the ingredients were also prepared separately. For instance, the BBQ chicken was so tender and flavourful. The portion and ingredients were also very generous – so much so that we could only eat 3 slices each and keep half the pizza for tomorrow’s breakfast. A really satisfying meal, reminding us that with the experience from Gianni’s and Emmanuel’s, USA does make excellent made-to-order pizzas...

“She is wonderful to work with. I have used her twice now. Once for a Mickey Mouse Twoodles cake and just recently for a baby shower. We got lemon for the cake and snickerdoodle for the cupcakes and when I tell you everyone loved them both. Her cakes are delicious and she does and amazing job with decorating them you send her a picture of what you want and she will not disappoint.“

“Best place for pastries and bread in town. Nothing fancy, just great pastries.“

“I’ve had a great experience every time I’ve eaten at Crumble, and I’ve been eating here frequently for about 2 years now. Hands down. The cookies are so good , the ones I’m trying for the first time or the regular cookies they have . They are always fresh. No matter if you get the big size cookie or want to go with their mini. I usually buy a dozen of the minis or a box or 6 because, come on now. There’s no way I can only actually eat one or 2. I think mini is the perfect size. . So i highly recommend you stopping by a crumble location or ordering it for delivery. So I give 5 stars for here and can’t wait to get my 10 points for writing my review on here because that means I’m 10 points extra on getting my free cookie from there ! 😃“

“Sapna makes cakes that not only look stunning but taste out of this world! We ordered cakes twice from her with few requirements and she transformed our thoughts into reality with her wand! Definitely recommend her!“

“Every time I visit GK Pastry in Mountain View, I usually get the jalapeño cheddar bread (so satisfyingly good, toasted or not), but this time I tried the tomato cheddar bread—crunchy exterior, soft and chewy interior. Awesome toasted. My other go-to is the chocolate jar cake. The chocolate they use is delicious, not too sweet. This time I had the mixberry jar cake. A nice, change-up. Never disappointed. Definitely try and support this local bakery! They opened a new location in Los Altos, too.“

“Elegant, delicious, truly artisan donuts. The unique flavors and beautiful products show off a love for the craft of baking that goes far beyond mere donuts. I highly recommend Doughweime for any time that your sweet tooth is active, but especially for special occasions when you want your desserts to stand out. Awesome!“

“Breakfast bar, Dark chocolate cherry cookies and the breads. We’ve tried a few things and loved them all!“

“Late December 2025 visit:
Dropped by on a Sunday morning when we visited the Cal Ave Sunday Farmer's Market. A bit hard to locate as the shop front didn't scream 'bakery' at us and we walked by at least 3 times looking for the address.

The young man helping us was very friendly and helpful in explaining the flavors to us!

We picked up 2 focaccia breads in black takeout boxes and ate them after a hike the next afternoon. Tasty but oily. Didn't find any truffle flavor but maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.

Fun memory made better by the staff and his opinions on the savory focaccia bread.
The shop had cake in jars and cookies available as well.

I'd be interested in trying the sourdough bread loaves next time!“

“This place came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. I went on word of mouth without discovering it was cash only. After a little hunting and finding several ATMs on Google Maps missing or broken, I was able to get cash at Bank of America.

I came for the Baked Pork Bun, but also tried the Egg Custard and Red Bean Paste Mochi Roll.

The Pork Bun was HUGE, and the best I have ever had. The owner gave credit to the dough being mixed by hand rather than machine. One is intended to be a meal. I was worried at its size it would fall apart, but it held together. Light, fluffy, and delicious. I was a little concerned when it was taken from rhe warmer and put in a microwave for 15 seconds, but it did not negatively impact the result as far as I could tell. BEST EVER!!

The mochi was more tender and soft than I have ever experienced, and in the most wonderful way. I am used to stretchy and chewy mochi. This was mlre delicate and silky. They look haphazard, but the texture and flavor completely makes up for it.

The Egg Custard was much mlre like a flan in a French pastry as opposed to what I expected of a South Asian Egg Custard. I expect if you like flan, it was good, but my preference is the variety that is more like sweet red bean paste than flan.

I wish I had taken pictures before I ate it all.

I look forward to going back again soon!“

“This place is awesome and makes the best gluten free almond cookies --my favorite are the ones that are half dipped in dark chocolate. I am addicted to their biscotti and cannoli! I love to snack on many of my favorite biscotti varieties such as the dark chocolate dipped hazelnut, chocolate chip no nuts, orange dark chocolate dipped & the OMG LEMON WHITE chocolate is refreshing! They also have a unique pastry shaped like a clamshell & is super crispy flaky crunchy on the outside but baked with a savory sweet orange zest ricotta cheese filling inside. It's irresistable when its warmed up. Definitely worth a visit & a fantastic place to purchase year-round gifts & bring treats to the office. EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD!!!“

“My son like the almond croissant. tried the plain donut..it's really delicious. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Bday party,ordered chicken 65,Gobi Manchurian,chicken Biryani,noodles,masala chicken sandwich.Kids Best part of cakes,Matcha,lychee,Oreo boba drinks and coffee.must try f.fries!Food n Service 5/5“

“Yesenia is a recipe genius! Every dish I've tried from her blog has been a hit. Her recipes are easy to follow and always turn out delicious. If you're looking for foolproof recipes that will impress your taste buds, she's your go-to. Maltese local dishes .. elevated, sophisticated, just perfect!“

“Crumbl had a collaboration with Martha Stewart this week, they also gave out a free chocolate chip cookie. Obviously lines were long and no one paid attention to the signs the staff had out. They only staffed TWO employees during this entire situation and one was almost finished with his shift. Major shout out to Lara and Jacob who were working on 11/6, they held it down and weren't rude or impatient or anything! Thank you so much.“

“Breakfast bar, Dark chocolate cherry cookies and the breads. We’ve tried a few things and loved them all!“

“These churros were literally the best I’ve ever had in my life. I don’t know how he does it but the churros maintain the heat inside but are still very crispy and buttery and sweet! We stopped by today and luckily got the last batch! A huge bag for $10!“

“Best pié ever especially the caramel apple and the key lime also the chocolate and the pocket pies ( my personal favorite is the chicken pot pie ((not the one with bacon)) I give this pie place 5 stars!! Go early or you will find them sold out for the day!!“

“Hot Breads has become one of my absolute favorite bakeries for eggless cakes and baked goods. For vegetarians and vegans, it’s truly a gem, offering a wonderful range of high-quality eggless options that are both fresh and delicious.

Their cakes are soft, flavorful, and available in a wide variety, making them perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or simply satisfying a dessert craving. Beyond cakes, I especially love their sandwich breads and fresh eggless pav, which have an authentic taste and excellent texture.

For anyone looking for delicious vegetarian-friendly bakery items @ Hot Breads is the Place.“

“Best tasting gluten-free desserts I’ve ever had! I love the gf brownies!“

“My goto French cafe with delicious French bakery, Freshly pressed OJ’s, and excellent coffees.“

“todo esta delicioso, le recomiendo los tamales y las tortas y el pan fresco y echo todos los dias😁“

“Excelente Panaderia, invitados“

“Cocola Bakery is next level! Every time I go, I am greeted with warmth and delicious drinks and baked goods. Today, I accidentally left an important bag next to one of the tables. Vanessa went above and beyond and tracked me down to return the object after I left the store. I was shocked by this level of dedication that you will only see at a neighborhood local establishment. Please go to this place to experience true customer service (and the food and drinks are great too!). Its a great place for a work meeting, lunch spot, or to redose your caffeine.“

“Woodside Bakery prepared the most beautiful and delicious fruit pies for our August wedding. We are from out of town, and Jan and her team did a fantastic job organizing with us from afar. We are so grateful for their contribution to our special day! Highly recommend.“

“I’ve lived in Newark for over 10 years and finally decided to give this restaurant a try—and wow, I’ve been missing out! The food is absolutely delicious and reminded me of the flavors from the Pacific Islands. Every dish I ordered was amazing. Highly recommend this place!“

“I absolutely love the gourmet donuts at Bun Appetit! Their Guava Cheesecake and Chocolate Cream are my favorite flavors — rich, flavorful, and beautifully crafted. The doughnuts are fabulously designed and almost too pretty to eat.

It’s one of the few true gourmet donut shops in the San Francisco Bay Area, which makes it feel extra special. That said, they are definitely on the pricey side. While the quality and creativity are impressive, be prepared to pay a premium.

Another downside is that they don’t have seating inside, so it’s more of a grab-and-go spot rather than a place to sit and enjoy your treat.

Overall, a delicious and unique indulgence — just plan accordingly! 🍩✨“

“I came to pick up a online order so my interaction was brief and I unfortunately didn’t get the name of the woman at the register but I came in on 3/21/26 @ 2:20pm and the lady at the register was absolutely delightful! She was so nice and so welcoming! Excellent service!“

“THE BEST cheesecake you will ever have! 5 stars“

“Ordered an eggless chocolate hazelnut cake on a very short 2-hour turnaround, and they handled it so well. He took the order patiently, prepared it on time, and the cake was fresh, soft, and rich without being overly sweet. Everyone genuinely enjoyed it. Great service and a solid eggless cake option in the Bay Area. Would definitely order again!“

“Great small cozy little shop with a large variety of homemade donuts!

I got the glazed donut holes and glazed old fashioned donut, both were moist and not too sweet.

Really friendly owner as well, highly recommend coming.“

“👍 Highly recommended My whole family loves it🥰 definitely will order again“

“Anthentic recipes from Mom and Dad for the past 35 years. This is how original it gets.“

“My first time in Helpful and professional“

“I didn’t get want anything from the bakery at the moment since I had a pastry early morning, but I decided to give this place a try and try one of their milk teas. Milk Tea is alright, but some Ube didn’t blend in with the drink.

It seems like that the place is still renovating since there are no TVs turned on and that there are rarely any decorations. Some stuff I’m seeing should be put at the backend. I also saw pictures of a large grey teddy bear sitting on the chair, which is quite nice.

I’ll max this rating up for four stars at the time being since I didn’t get anything from the bakery. I’m hoping that this place improves soon. Also, some items I see from online such as cakes are not displayed at the display boxes. Perhaps, they are sold out? Remains a mystery at the moment.“

“Einfach top. Immer wieder ein Besuch wert.👍“

“Adorable little café with amazing coffee and pastries! The cappuccino was perfect, and the croissant tasted fresh out of the oven. Super cozy atmosphere and kind staff. Can’t wait to come back!“

“After reading reviews, I tried their pesto bagel with sun dried tomato cream cheese. It does not disappoint! It elevates the bagel experience to a next level. I tried the garlic herb cream cheese as well. It's decent but the sun dried cream cheese is a clear winner for me!“

“Friendly staff good coffee and pastries 🥮“

“Hawaiian Cream Bread is the shiiiiiiiiiit!“

“Yesterday I purchased the guava coffee cake and tiramisu from The Kibler Elf at the Italian Festival in San Jose. Delicious!!! I can't wait to have more of their products. Yum yum yum yum yum!“

“I really like this Filipino bakery shop because it has a bunch of goodies especially the empanadas. My parents always order them whenever they pass by here. It's also a good location since this area has a lot of Filipino places here like the restaurants and bakeries. It's really a good place to stop by if you're hungry or something.“

“Sara’s cookies are amazing!!! Yum Yum Yum“

“A good place to have some Guatemalan food, ,,,fast service and clean“

“I was here yesterday for the umpteenth time over a span of a couple years at this point.

The donuts, croissants, and other sweets are great, and I enjoy their breakfast food as well. They do a solid breakfast wrap, breakfast bagels, and they have iced & hot coffee as well as bananas and other drinks.

I love this place! Hope they stay in business here in RWC for a long time.“

“Delicious empanadas, and cold mate! The owner was super kind and she took her time showing me all the delicious treats they have. Fresh chimichurri too! The cold mate was a great taste too, not bitter and a little sweet. Taking a few boxes of empanadas to a bbq and sure they will love it as much as i do, so much variety. The steak one, and spinach ones were my favorites. Dont forget to finish off with an alfajor!“

“This place has been around for a long time! It’s really cool :) it’s not the same as being in the original Chinatown, the San Francisco Chinatown? But wait! I think the Amtrak train system exists because of the chinese train workers and the laborers“

“I really enjoyed the coffee cake squares!“

“El excelente servicio que brindan A la clientela es excelente y sus productos lo mejor“
