50 Best Bakeries near Foster City

“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.“

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

“Great healthy food and great service 😍😍“

“Yummy empanadas and desserts.“

“Excellent bread, very kind service. Best sourdough and focaccia we’ve had in the South Bay. We used to buy our bread fresh weekly before moving to this area more than a year ago and we look forward to being able to do that again. We could not be happier that this place opened in our neighborhood and we hope it sticks around. We will be back!“

“First time ordering a crunch cake! We got the 6” inch strawberry crunch cake and called in the order a day before to pick up. Parking is limited since it’s a residential street. When I arrived for pick up, they were just putting the brittle on. The cake is very unique, the strawberry crunch had brittle crumble all over the outside and in the inside are two moist cake and a thick layer of cream and fresh strawberries.The cake is not that sweet and taste amazing with the brittle crunch. Cutting it wasn’t that difficult, I wiped the knife each slice as instructed. I would order the mocha cake next time! This cake is $35, cash only.“

“Delicious, friendly and 100% authentic! 🇲🇽🥖🥮“

“Food is absolutely amazing. The breakfast sandwich is to die for, and their Kouign-amann is the best I've ever had. The store is adorable and doesn't have hipsters on laptops camping out in it. Service is quick and very kind. Best bakery I've ever been to.“

“My boss always bought Romolo's for office parties, and the cannolis are always so good. So when my husband and I were planning an Italian feast for our wedding, Romolo's came to mind immediately. Over the course of a few months we came in to try different cookies and cannolis. The place is super cute and the staff is so nice.

Erin, one of the owners, was so helpful and we ended up doing a mix of cannolis and cookies. We ordered 50 cannolis and a few dozen cookies for 35 guests. There were maybe 5 cannolis left which one guest took home for their family.

Our families are Italian from NY and most of them said it was the best cannoli they've had outside of NY. (They can't say it's better than a NY cannoli - that would be treason.)

Thank you Erin and team. You really helped our day feel that much more special.“

“Great place. Long lines and worth it“

“Hands down, the best biscotti I’ve ever had! You will not be disappointed. La Biscotteria has the most amazing flavours of biscotti both with and without chocolate. They also sell delicious cannolis and panetone. It’s an authentic Italian bakery made by the most lovely family. The scent of the bakery alone will have you walking out with biscotti in no time!“

“The bacon scallion scones are delicious!“

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

“Hands down the best bakery in Mountain View area“

“A very good place if you like Italian breads and baked goods. I usually buy at least 3 whole focaccia bread every time I visit. My favorites are pepperoni, artichoke garlic, pepperoni and sausage, pesto, and feta cheese and garlic. The breads are tasty with the aroma of spices,cheeses they use and freshness of the bread.They rotate the ingredients so it never gets boring. I also love the jalapeño bread rolls, ham and cheese croissants, cookies and pastries. I never had anything I didn't like here. A small family business with a big heart. You can see lots of repeat customers always telling you what they always buy. Give them a try and you will become a regular...“

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

“Update: After eating five different items from Twelvemonth, I can honestly say that this bakery has the best vegan baked goods/pastries I've ever had in my life. I'm not kidding. I'm super sad that they don't have a store in New York City. 🥲 We had a cold brew coffee, a matcha latte, a cinnamon roll, and a pistacchio croissant. Everything tasted amazing! 😍 Updated from previous review on 2025-06-27“

“This place is fantastic for having coffee with bread the only thing I didn't like was that they didn't let me go into the bathroom the bad thing is that I had already been driving for 3 hours because I'm not from that place and well that service is very bad I bought the bread the chocolate and left Let's find a place to go to the bathroom next time, give the people a chance. You don't know where it's from, since in that city a lot of people come from far away to work.“

“Get the Portuguese / Hong-Kong Style Egg Tarts. It is the flagship item in the store. It tasted like a master pastry chef has been perfecting it for decades. Crust is buttery flakey and the filling hits every note on your palate. Additionally, I also got a Pineapple bun and Steam Bun with Black Sesame. I wished the bun was a little fluffier on the inside and the black sesame bun had more even distribution of the black sesame paste for the size of the bun. Service was great and hospitable on a busy Saturday morning. I look forward to trying more items from the bakery. Please make sure to bring cash for any purchase under $15 to help the business with credit card fees.“

“Delicious & fresh coffee and donuts 😍“

“Shop is small and quaint. Great location. We ordered a baker's dozen. I tried their Snickerdoodle, Cookies and Cream, Toffee, and White Chocolate Macadamia. My favorite is the Cookies and Cream. I'll try their other flavors next time.“

“Amazing! I ordered the best turkey and brie sandwich. The baguette was toasted and the brie was nearly melted. So good for my first time stopping by this location. By the way, this is their headquarters, so it's cool:) and they have a cozy dining area too!!“

“Not only are the cookies spectacular but Lizzy made an amazing chocolate cake for my wife’s birthday.“

“Cozy little hidden place in San Mateo. A bakery, coffee shop and specialized on cakes. They do offer some Filipino delicacies.“

“Incredible choice of pastries! Wow! First time visit did not disappoint 😊“

“It was very nice. Food was great and atmosphere wonderful!“

“Old school Italian bakery/cafe. The counter lady seemed bothered by my existence, but I’m not offended. The cake I had was dry and a little two artificially flavored for my taste. Although I am not a huge fan of Italian sweets to begin I like to support small businesses and try new places. Lots of cookies and other sweets on display as well.“

“Friendly staff good coffee and pastries 🥮“

“Excellent quality. This is the Asian bakery we keep coming back to over and over again. I particularly recommend the scallion bun, I get that more than anything else, but the Portuguese egg tarts and pineapple cakes deserve honourable mention. It’s all good though.“

“the coffee's good, the people are even better!“

“Shekoh is an amazing chef, anything she touches tastes like heaven. Can hardly wait until she opens her online shop.“

“Friendly staff good coffee and pastries 🥮“

“Found this place looking for Filipino food on Google maps. What a unique little cafe! the bibingka style cupcakes are really yummy. The dough is very soft, moist, and spongy, quite different from your typical cupcake. Lots of delicious flavors to choose from, and they make them fresh daily. We really appreciated they are overly sweet, while the flavors still stand out. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Ube coffee we had. The next day we went back to get a whole box for the whole family, it was a hit!“

“Oh, wow, YUM! The cheesecake might as well be from Tokyo. It has the standard light, fluffy consistency with a touch of sweetness that just melts in your mouth.

The tart…ohhhhoho! Loved it. The buttery crust crumbles and made me pick up every crumb with my sloppy fingertip. Don’t waste a crumb! It was just really, really good. Perfect with a coffee or one of their teas.

I had a tea with the cheese foam. At the last drip, I was licking the lid. No shame. Thank God for inconspicuous outdoor seating.

Save yourself a trip to Japan when you want some Japanese desserts. Uncle Tetsu can meet your craving! It is a steal compared to a flight on Zipair! 😂“

“Detailed review of Ponyo:

If you're in Millbrae, make sure to put Ponyo on your to go-list! Ponyo has an amazing selection of Asian foods. From masubi, ramen, coconut pudding, probiotic drinks, sparkling waters, crackers, seafood snacks, chips, desserts, samplers (at the counter), and to the best part, trending snacks you would see all over social media!! One of the trending snacks are Melo Melo, but the newest item I've seen today (date of this review) at Ponyo, is the trending Tao Qi Peach ice cream (photo).

Though, one suggestion I would make for customers, is to bring your own bag, since the bags provided are cheaply made and have paper cut-like handles. My friends and passerby's also complained that the bag handles were too sharp and thought, oh, it's not just me. To the boss of Ponyo, as good service, please provide better bags for your customers. In addition, the place is a little cramped and warm, so strollers or wheelchairs would not fit well.

Overall, the snacks that Ponyo provides are good for people who are fans of something (e.g. Hello Kitty), have dietary restrictions like vegans (e.g. Melo Melo), and great when on dates. Come check it out!! ?

Dietary restrictions: Dairy-free and Vegan options available (e.g. coconut pudding, drinks, etc.)

Kid-friendliness: A variety of foods for children to snack on.

Wheelchair accessibility: Too cramped for wheelchairs.“

“Not a lot of japanese bakery selection here in the Bay Area, but this spot is a must-try.

Decided to try a large variety of the menu, and everything was a hit. Would def recommend getting the chocolate and matcha lattes; they are so rich and authentic which is rare to find even amongst drink specialized stores. Also would recommend the cream cornets and the tonkatsu sandwich; portion is huge!

Staff were all very friendly and professional; I you like your bread not too sweet, would def recommend.“

“I have lived into this neighborhood for almost 8 years. Today I was craving one of those hot dog buns and happen to find this place thru google. Gave it a try. Absolutely no regrets. Chinese donut sticks so fresh and crispy and still with the right fluff in the middle. Good sesame balls. Good egg and ham sandwich. I got 2 sesame balls. 2 pork buns. 1 egg and ham bun. 1 Chinese donut. 4 hot dog buns. And it was only $17.50! What a deal. I will definitely be back again.“

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

“I attended a Chemex Kenz coffee tasting and love their Hambala. Their love and passion for coffee translates in the quality of their beans. I’m glad I can also enjoy their brew at Sue’s Cafe in Downtown Saratoga.“

“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 am always looking for a good empanada place, especially Argentinian empanadas just my luck I found this place while walking on Main Street.

I was surprised at the selection--there were a lot of savory ones to choose and less of the sweet ones, considering my visit was late in the day. I chose the traditional beef and spicy chicken to take home. These easily reheated in the convection oven nicely and the crust was crisp. I noticed that at the crust edge are letters to indicate what kind of empanada you ordered. The beef was savory and delicious, it was perfectly moist, as was the chicken. The chicken was a little bit spicy, but not intolerable, unless you cannot eat spicy at all, then I would stay away from the spicy chicken.

Definitely worth checking out--the empanadas are delicious.“

“Most donut shops. I go to are a little bit messy and unorganized. This one is a completely opposite, very nice atmosphere. Super clean organized. They have freshly squeezed orange juice, baked goods, breakfast sandwiches, Energy drinks. Both ladies were amazing, super friendly professional, highly recommend this place.
To add I've never seen Lotto in Donutshop🤑“

“Too delicious... my cami loves them !!“

“yo comiendo con un servicio para este cliente por sus seguidores y un servicio“

“2719 team is the best ever“

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

“Established local chain that serves yummy pastry items and cake plus authentic Hong Kong milk tea in a no frill setting. To go only. Always always visit to grab yummy treats, quick breakfast that can be washed down nicely with HK style milk tea at excellent pricing. A must for me 😎. And do not forget to try the mini meat pies that are also excellent👍“

“Fantastic flavors and presentations at Twelvemonth! We went for a family dinner on a Friday night and the place was hopping. Every dish was really quite tasty, especially the tamales. Good cocktail and mocktail menu, and good selection of wines and beers.

The space is beautiful too, with high ceilings, lots of space, and a gorgeous outside area with tons of seating.

The entire menu is plant-based and vegan, which made the vegans amongst us ecstatic of course. But then the omnivores were happy too because it's just really tasty food!

Can't wait to try the prix fix tasting menu, but one of us didn't want it, and it requires full table participation. Next time then.“

“I liked the place was surprised that there’s a PB in this area when I was visiting the next door ice cream shop. It was clean and has nice comfy atmosphere but as any other PB in the bay area the food is not fresh compared to PB in NJ or NYC. I think they bake the pastry once or twice a week for the whole week and for sure this downgrade the whole experience for sure. That’s why I gave the food 3 Stars“
