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.“

“Crumbl cookies are famously large and incredibly sweet. While many of their flavors are enticing, I'd love to see some less sweet options introduced to balance the richness.

Peanut Butter Crisp featuring Butterfinger (4.5/5): This cookie delivered on its promise with a great peanut butter flavor and a satisfying crunch from the Butterfinger pieces. A truly enjoyable fusion.

Cake Batter (4/5): This was less a cookie and more a mini cake! The confetti cookie base was delightful, and the cream cheese-like frosting added a nice touch, but it was exceptionally sweet.“

“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!“

“I visited Hong Kong Bakery for the first time with a friend who is a big fan and I became a big fan too. The owner was so friendly and even gave us a sample after our order which we really appreciated.

I ordered:
4 Mango Mochi
4 Banana Mochi
4 Red Bean Mochi
2 Sesame Balls
2 Egg Tarts

I liked everything but I especially liked the Mango and Red Bean.“

“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!“

“Found a gem! They have freshly made Sfogliatella that was awesome with all its crisp flaky layers and lemony filling (ate it so fast that I forgot to take a pic). Finally found a place that makes them perfectly in the US!

Their anise biscotti were really good too. The right level of crunchiness, unlike the hard rock that are often sold elsewhere.

The panettone was moist and fluffy—the way I love!! The price was quite decent for the quality. Hope they’d make some with almonds and almond crust~

They also had veal stuffed ravioli (only sold during thanksgiving and Christmas months) that we haven’t tried yet.

Looking forward to get their ricotta pie/cake during Easter!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“Absolutely loved the cake! The design was elegant, clean, and exactly what we wanted — even better than expected. The attention to detail, the smooth finish, and the overall presentation were perfect for a special celebration.

Taste was just as good as the look — fresh, balanced, and not overly sweet. You can truly see the care and craftsmanship that went into it.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a beautiful, premium cake that makes your occasion feel special. Will definitely come back again!“

“We bought frozen biscuits … omg, light as a feather. They were perfect! Hubby also loved chicken pot pie I had purchased when I knew I was going to be out of town. Soups… delish!“

“I am visiting from out of town and stumbled upon this bakery. I purchased the fresh strawberry tres leches. Oh my goodness. It was one of the best desserts I’ve had in a long time! So so delicious. Highly recommend!“

“Excelente Panaderia, invitados“

“The food is literally sickeningly sweet: we shared half a specialty donut apiece, and we've both been sick for hours, groaning with stomach aches. HOW can they shove that much sugar in one donut? WHY?

The trick of this place is you gotta treat each specialty donut like a WHOLE CAKE. Then you'll be fine. WARNING: DO NOT EXCEED ONE SPECIALTY DONUT PER DAY. 🤮👈

The worst culprit was this brie cheese and wine. It was a cake filled with cream. We actually used it as a birthday cake (it cost as much as one, too, but that's another story🤫).

The only specialty donut that wasn't too much (still don't exceed recommended limits) was the cranberry. This was a masterpiece. It was a perfect mix of sweet and bright flavors for the sauce, though once again stuffed with cream.

Otherwise DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and skip on the tempting specialty donuts, and get something less saccharine.

The Dubai chocolate has a great pistachio filling, but the rest was overall far too rich.

The green tree Christmas tree green tea topping was ... green tea. As a frosting. Covering frosting. Maybe go for that other green tea non specialty donut.

It took us days to eat these all, and it will be a a few years (and having a child who can eat the food) before we can manage to drag ourselves back.

Next tine I have a serious donut craving and want some overly sweet American sweet, I'll just hike over to the regular donut shop: makes this sugar bomb look mild in comparison. Don't let the Asian flavors fool you: they could tone down the sugar 1000% (or use mochi dough, but that's also another story... when will Fremont finally get a mochi donut shop...).“

“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😁“

“Stopped here halfway through a planned 10k run for no more than a short coffee break. Ended up buying 4 delicious pastries to take back for my aunt and cousin who I was visiting, run abandoned and uber back! This place was very much on par with those pricey boutique bakeries back in London.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I went there on Saturday September 5th, this time ordered the Taro Leaves, Turkey Tail, Pork Sausages and Chop Suey; all of the above was Super Excellent and Delicious, reminded me of the two years that I lived in Hawaii. I Love Juanita's Polynesian Delights!“

“We did our custom cake from Mr Cake plus .. rasmalai for 40 ppl . This was so yummiest cake i e er had in bay area ।. . and our customers were asking where did we get this cake from!! It was the best one …
Later following week we did another cake butterscotch .. it tasted like indian cake .. it was the best butterscotch cake i had ever.. definitely recommend this place for events and birthday cakes ..“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Hands down the best bakery in Mountain View area“

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

“My first time in Helpful and professional“

“I've bought all of my family birthday cakes from this location for the last several years. I love this location. They always get my order right, fresh every time, very clean environment. I've never had a bad experience and I've been here dozens of times.“

“What an amazing finding! We very much enjoyed the delicious empanadas from La Maja. The dough was crispy and perfectly baked. We tried different ones: Spinach, mushrooms, beef, ham and cheese. They were all outstandingly authentic and reminded us of our childhood back in Argentina! The place was clean, cozy and we felt very welcomed. Customer service is excellent! You don't want to miss this jewell in Redwood City downtown. We will definitely be coming and ordering back from La Maja.“

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

“first review of 2026!
stopped by to get some breakfast and their menu had a wide array of selections, prices are very reasonable, and the workers are super nice (including the owner I chatted with). the donuts and hotdog breakfast I got was delicious and was super fresh! Definitely will be back and reccomend.“

“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.“

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

“Hawaiian Cream Bread is the shiiiiiiiiiit!“

“Panaderia Michoacan 2 is more than just a bakery. In addition to their fresh and delicious Mexican bread and pastries, it also works as a well-stocked Mexican grocery store. You can find snacks, soft drinks, sauces, dried chiles, spices, candies, and many traditional ingredients all in one place.
The store is clean, organized, and spacious, the staff is friendly, and the prices are affordable.
A great place to buy fresh bread and do your Mexican grocery shopping at the same time. Highly recommended.“

“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.“

“If it weren’t a bit of a drive, I’d probably be here waaay too often. � The staff at SusieCakes was so friendly and welcoming — like, as soon as I walked in the door, they were all smiles.“
