Patisserie/Cake Shops near El Cerrito, CA

“The baked goods here are delicious. We get all our birthday cakes here…and sometime we just pretend we have birthday needs when we get them! I also love stopping by on a weekend morning for a freshly bake croissant or biscuit. Brought their chocolate cookies to work the other day and my colleagues were all commenting about just how good they are! All gone in minutes.“

“Friendly workers who definitely work hard! I've had a few nice conversations with them. They don't have a lot of help around, but with the variety of things they have to do, manage to operate as quickly as they can. I live nearby and am happy to have this place as an option for a simple bite. I've come by several, several times. Their sandwiches are huge and packed. Very moist and flavorful. The pastries with creams are my favorite (I'm not really a croissant guy). Check them out! They are kind of hard to come across my because their branding isn't obvious, so go get 'em!“

“Absolutely the best French pasteries I’ve had on this continent!“

“Very nice place, amazing attention, I love it.“

“A very cozy place in the financial district. Even though we went on a weekend, there were still a lot of people working there. Their pour over coffee is reasonably priced and they also provide coffee beans in the shop. I like the paintings they have inside. The coffee also comes with a postcard telling us where the coffee beans come from and the history, which I think is very nice. If you like coffee, I recommend giving this place a try.“

“One65 was an amazing discovery on our trip to San Francisco. Having spent the first half of our life in Montréal, Québec, Canada where it was hard to find a bad restaurant, we were absolutely amazed by this Bistro which looks more like a high end dining experience. The menu online & the photos attracted us to this location but we were amazed by the well timed service, the crisp white tablecloths, the table setting and the pleasant and calm atmosphere. My choices of charcuterie platter was perfectly sized; the chicken & the pork rillettes where a wonderful surprise. My husband had an onion tart with the crust as perfect as they get & which I envied. He loved his halibut, moist and tender and I raved over my grilled half lobster, so tender that I found myself munching on the shell parts as well. My bread pudding was not of overwhelming size & perfectly flavored. Don chose the Affogato (scoop of vanilla gelato « drowned » with a shot of hot espresso). We wanted to go back today but they are closed on Sundays.?“

“Kouign-amann is one of my favorite cakes.“

“Yummy coconut custard bun! Can’t wait to go back and try more of the beautiful treats“

“The olive bread was amazing, as well as the croissants and other pastries. The service was off the charts, truly exceptional! Highly recommended.“

“Came here with my dad for the 1st time today after seeing them advertise on social media. My Pop's ordered the salmon combo plate with mac and cheese + greens. I had the brisket sandwhich combo with a potato latke and side of coleslaw. Came out to just under $50 for the both of us, not bad at all! Unique flavor profile, nice sized portions, and positive atmosphere. The food was fresh, place was clean, and the customer service top tier- the owner was there which was a bonus. The coleslaw isn't my favorite, as it's a pickled variety tasting heavily of vinegar, otherwise it was finger lickin' good! Will be returning soon. Thanks Crazyblock! +🪙“

“Good vibe and great service especially Yonos and Eric!“

“Best of the best. Tons of choices, exquisite French patisseries, true North African specialties… there is so much to choose from. High quality and scrumptious! We will be back!!!“

“Super easy to work with getting my design exactly how I wanted. Not sweet or greasy~ so cute!“

“We did a five-course, intimate, dessert tasting at Bellaria. Every item was hand-crafted, thoughtful, innovative, and delicious. It started off with savory bites before moving into the main attractions. Our party absolutely loved the Mandarin and White Tea dish with seabuckthorn and tonka. The Pear Tatin Roulade and Souffle Bread Pudding were expertly crafted and technically impressive. The Chocolate dish at the end was the perfect bite to end the meal. And everything (besides the caviar) was vegan!I can't wait to see what else comes out of this innovative dessert studio. The space is small so you'll have to sign up in advance for the tasting, but it makes it intimate and homey. It makes a great date night!“

“Simple bakery with a focused catalog of delicious breads. I tried the small sourdough olive bread, and it was chewy, tangy, and had a good amount of olives mixed into the small roll style bread. The bakery seems to lean toward larger loaves, as there were tons behind the counter to choose from even though it was later in the day. The counter staff seemed busy with duties so they weren’t overly attentive, but they were happy to help me for my order. The vibe is like homey, local bakery, and I’ll go earlier to see if there are scones or other small savory breads to sample.“

“I never write reviews unless the experience and food was 10/10…. Well this my friends was indeed a 10/10. Well worth the hype! Every pastry was so delicious and the customer service was great! I was met with a smile and great attitude from an employee after waiting In line since 7:56am. I would do it all over again!“

“Peaceful, clean, and family-friendly coffee shop with a great atmosphere. I love the large wood tables, which are perfect for working or relaxing. They also use quality ingredients, including organic coffee and homemade blends. A great spot if you prefer quality coffee without all the extra sugar!“

“Reviewing this only for the donuts and ham+cheese pretzel croissant - incredible bakery. The croissant is my favorite in the city (including Arsicault and Tartine - different style though to be fair) because it's rich and flakey yet on the lighter side. Donuts are freshly filled and delicious. I go for the ham+cheese croissant all the time“

“I called to order a birthday cake as a surprise for my friend. I didn't get her name, but the lady on the phone was so nice and helpful! They delivered it so quickly and my friend was thrilled, which made me very happy. Thank you so much for the great service!“
