Excellent pastries, cookies, cakes and all. Delicious scratch products, sometimes still warm! I HAD to try the Apple Strudel. It was perfect! Thank you for the great job on the custom cake order for the Volunteer Fireman Desi! Great job and it was my pleasure meeting you

Solid, old-school bakery. Not Instagram famous-more of a hole-in-the-wall, without inside seating, but don't let that fool you. They have the best hot-crossed buns every Easter (and they were open Sunday morning)! service is always quick and friendly.

Staff is super nice. My kids love their doughnut and their cookies. I love that all their pastries are so affordable and fresh.

Everything was delicious and fresh. Was worried that some of the items would be too sweet, but not so. This bakery nails traditional American style bakery items!! We had blueberry scone, sugar yeast donut, apple cinnamon muffin, cinnamon puff pastry twist, buttermilk bar and brewed coffee. Quality was impeccable! The service was wonderful as well! We would gladly stop in again if we are passing through or staying in HMB in the future! Cheers, the Pope family

This is the local bakery and it's located in the heart of the Half Moon Bay. It is run by locals and I enjoyed interacting with them. They have selection of cakes and cookies. And everyone were going for cheese cakes, we got a turtle cheese cake it was yummy. It had caramel, pecan and cheese cake. The staff was super friendly and helped us pick the right cake. And the ambiance was so chill with people walking outside.

Very average bakery with cookies, pastries, donuts and savory flatbreads. We stopped in while walking down Main St and looked at everything in the display case while we waited patiently in line. Prices seem to be on the high side, but that's what I would expect for downtown HMB.I picked up a gingerbread cookie to try and was pretty disappointed at how it lacked any actual ginger flavor. The cookie itself was cakey looking, but somehow very dry and didn't taste fresh. I've had better baked goods from grocery stores, next time we'll skip this bakery and get ice cream somewhere else instead.

On a $39.00 bill they charged me $3900.00!!! (I have my receipt) the owner attempted to ONLY electronically refund me $1400.00 and I had to remind him of the total… he electronically refunded another $2500.00 to make me whole and then reversed it when I left the bakery (status of refund changed in my bank records and bank confirmed). FRAUD! Working through the proper channels to get my refund as he’s making zero attempt to properly correct and refund…even with all proof on my side and his admittance of mistakes!!!

Our bill came to $39.00 and they shipped out CC for $3900.00. It’s been two week so far of trying to get a refund! They finally wrote three checks for the total refund and the largest of the checks (half the refund) bounced! They will not help us and when I said we will have to sue them if they won’t help, they taunted us and said “do it”! We have receipts and they are thieves!!!

I’ve now been here 2 times and pastries are phenomenal! Today was an assortment of H&C croissant, spinach & cheese something, lemon cheesecake, blueberry loaf and a large cinnamon roll(not the donut one but bread dough w cream cheese frosting). All were exceptionally good but the cinnamon roll is to die for. I’ve had rolls all over the country and this is easily in the top 3. Perfectly cooked, lots of gooey cinnamon & butter and amazing cream cheese frosting with a hint of lemon. Go out of your way to get there soon!
