50 Best Bakeries near Kensington

“Semifreddi's is a name well-known in the Bay area. Their main bakery is in Alameda, and this is their outlet for fresh baked goods. My favorite bread in the world, the Kalamata Olive, can be had here along with fresh baked breakfast goods and other breads.“

“Authentic Italian bakery. 1 product, foccacia, done to perfection. My Italian grandpa lived in North Beach and brought it to Sunday dinners every week. Now, generations later, a stop at Liguria is mandatory. But get there early, or you will be disappointed. 5 star best foccacia ever.“

“We were gifted our first ever Bake Sum box. After trying just one bite of a Yuzu meringue bun I knew I needed more. Ordered our second BSB last week and shared amongst the roomies, huge hit. Well baked, not too sweet, great flavor combinations. 10/10 would recommend the Bake Sum box. If you can’t grab a box, you can grab al a cart day of pick ups just to tide you over until you can get a box 😋“

“The BEST Baklava in San Francisco!“

“A must-visit bakery in San Francisco! The croissants are perfectly crispy on the outside with a soft, elastic crumb inside. The cream puffs and canelés are definite must-adds to your shopping list.

The only downside? The coffee beans lack a bit of that rich aroma—otherwise, it would be a match made in heaven!“

“Interesting variety of bread (they offer slicing service), delicious array of pastries and cakes.

What I go for annually is their panettone. The make their own and it varieties slightly from year to year with what’s available. One year they had Buddha’s hand citrus included in it. It is pricey but for the quality and once a year splurge.“

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

“Great little gem! We really enjoyed their veggie croissants. And concha is not to be missed as well. Looking forward to coming back!

Plenty of street parking available, there’s outdoor seats available as well. And they serve coffee.

And best thing is..no long line !“

“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.“

“Absolutely charming spot! With amazing mid day light and refined antique aesthetic, they serve top notch coffee and baked goods. The environment is comfortable and unrushed. Babka, chocolate labneh cake, cream puffs and floral cakes, it's really hard to go wrong with the selection and quality.“

“We had a grilled chicken sandwich that was excellent, and a chorizo omelette that was tasty but quite heavy. The service was friendly and welcoming, but it was slow—from taking our order to serving the food and refilling coffee or water, everything took a bit longer than expected.“

“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!!!“

“Love it doesn’t mind waiting for goodness pastry’s!“

“Holy Nata - 8 Trinity Place, San Francisco, CA

Let me be clear. These pastries? They're amazing. The taste? All I can say is this: walk over, order one, walk out, take a bite, and tell me if you didn't immediately turn around and go back for six more. It's that good. Holy Nata is not just a bakery, it's a walk-back-in kind of place. Don't say I didn't warn you!“

“I haven’t tried the famous egg tart from the legendary Golden Gate Bakery, even after marrying my roommate, who grew up in the Bay Area for more than 8 years. The custard tart from Golden Gate Bakery is $3.75, which is a little pricey, and it's not my type, so we won't revisit again.“

“In fond of the lava lemonade. And the bagels are delish.“

“So many fun and unique flavored buns! I came here just to try their egg tarts ($2.75 each) and they were ok. However, the egg white egg tarts (also $2.75 each) are delicious!! Haven't seen these before.

On Saturdays it can get quite busy, but the line goes by fast. They accept Venmo payments too.“

“I had an amazing experience with Crumble & Whisk! They catered a community event for me during the holiday season, and I can't wait to use them again! This Black-owned bakery offers the most delicious, fresh-baked treats with a perfect balance of flavor and texture. From the buttery, flaky pastries to the rich, moist cakes, every bite is a delight. The staff is warm and welcoming, making you feel like family from the moment you walk in. Their commitment to quality and community is truly inspiring. Charles is a master at his craft, and both his catering and baking will elevate anyone's event to the highest standard.“

“HERCULES is a great place to live crime rate is low compared to other cities . But it would help a lot to encourage neighborhood watch “ MODESTY ASIDE I DO . I have knocked to several houses esp when I was still working swing shift I kept my eyes open n still doing it if garages are open when I go hone from work n 1 time called the police station when 1 of the neighbor’s garage was opened n no one answered when I knocked her door . Let’s have a neighborhood watch all over “ HERCULES THIS IS OUR HOME AND WE HAVE PROTECT IT AS WELL AS THE PEOPLE WHO LIVES HERE . OUR CITY OFFICIALS SHOULD BE TOUGH LIKE ( MANILA PHILIPPINES ) MAYOR FRANCISCO DOMOGOSO HE MADE N MAKING MANILA A NICE PLACE TO LIVE IN . MANILA IS HOW MANY TIMES BIGGER THAN HERCULES !! HE WAS JUST A MAYOR FOR 7 MOS BUT MADE A LOT OF CHANGES NO WONDER PEOPLE LOVE HIM SO MUCH NOT ONLY IN MANILA BUT ALL OVER THE WORLD .“

“Lors de notre séjour à San Francisco nous avons découvert Le Marais Bakery. Nous avons ADORÉ, la nourriture est délicieuse et le service vraiment très chaleureux et très professionnel. L’équipe est souriante et au petit soin. N’hésitez pas à vous arrêter pour déguster les délicieuses viennoiseries et/ou les autres plats proposés, vous ne serez pas déçu(e)s!!“

“Amazing food and vibes. The plumb crumb cookie is my new favorite cookie in the bay! It’s like a tiny fruit tart—I think the base is a short bread cookie, and it has a chewy crumble + fresh fruit on top. The other shortbready cookie with jam was also very good.

The two other things I tried were the nectarine chiffon cake and the plum tart. The cake was light and not too sweet, and had just the right amount of cream. The plum tart was also very tasty.

Besides the food, the aesthetics of the place are beautiful and unique. Just look at the picture of the menu!

Overall one of my favorite bakeries in the bay, highly recommend!“

“Friendly staff🥰, best bagel in the states🥯“

“Great place & cakes!“

“So good!!! We got 6 pastries for 2 people, everything was so good. My favorite was caramelized pineapple pie, milk bun, melon bun with ham, and passion fruit custard bun.
Started staying in line 5 min before opening, and I think we go the last caramelized pineapple pie. so, if wanna get the popular items, make sure to come there early“

“The birth place of fortune cookies. This place is small and a perfect place to see how fortune cookies are made. They make fresh cookies and serve you. You can buy several varieties of fortune cookies from this place. Also the highlight is that u can customize fortune cookies for your friends and family. This place is pretty famous and is always crowded.“

“These cookies are delicious!! I’ve had the butter pecan, oatmeal raisin, and the walnut brownie. They’re very moist and a great treat.“

“This is a great bakery. Always long lines and has parking in the back as the parking lot is quite small.

Our favorites are the mushroom pizza slices, which we warm up with our own added items, the Apple Slice and baguettes.

You will definitely not be disappointed with anything you get here.

Parking: Additional parking at the back.“

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

“sourdough croissants, the corn cherry and oat scones, sundry shortbread flavours that are always exquisite...and today, a new treat, a lil pizza" bakers special" with kale and mojo and crust texture inexplicable, beyond magic. ✨👍🏽✨“

“Ok ok ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok“

“Everything I’ve gotten has been delectable. Shared a few of the sesame caramel (?) chocolate chip cookies and everyone agreed top cookies of their lives. Love the creativity and care put into of all the items! A wonderful Sunday stop and such friendly and sweet staff!“

“When I went they had two vegan options, a blueberry glaze donut and a plain donut. I went for blueberry, and it was so much better than I expected! I generally prefer a lighter donut and thin glaze. This one was denser with a thicker glaze, but was objectively really great! Would recommend! Updated from previous review on 2025-02-28“

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

“The Desserts reminds you of the Cake table on Thanksgiving at Grandma's house. yummy! yummy yummy for your tummy!😍😍“

“Look no further for the best bakery - We needed a perfect cake for my son's celebration of life and we were so pleased with the masterpiece that was created. It was movie star quality and the design work was top notch. My son loved sunflowers and succulents and Pam created the most perfect design. My daughter sat down with her and explained detail by detail. You could see all the love in her design. And the taste of this carrot cake was the best I have ever had and I have had a lot. Thank you Pam & Gayle for the best cake for my son Michael's celebration of life 🙏“

“Just picked up my chicken soup this afternoon,my granddaughter wanted to go to the park,I ordered it over the phone and they said 10 minutes but we stayed at the park for. 45 minutes the soup and croissant was still hot not warm but hot my granddaughter loved the bread man lol“

“OMG! This cookie shop recently opened in Fairfield! These are the most disrespectful, amazing, and addictive cookies I have ever eaten! The Butter Pecan Cookie will make you hurt someone. Run and get some cookies! These cookies make no sense!“

“My husband is gluten free and I search for options for him whenever we travel. I was beyond excited to find Mariposa and we stopped for breakfast before our Alcatraz tour. Their bakery items were delicious and wish we could have had more! I wish they would have labeled that the olive oil/bacon/cheese swirl has olives in it as I would've chosen something else but the cheddar almond scone was amazing! Wish we could've taken a bunch home.“

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

“Delicious baked goods. Awesome staff!“

“I know this pastry shop for a long time and had their tiramisu before when I was a kid. I never tried the princess cake so I bought it. It was so good. I would recommend everything here. They have some seats inside for you to sit. the cashier is very nice.“

“The very long line of happily waiting customers was the first clue that this place was going to be something special. Then we had the delicious bagel, later we had the yummy vanilla strawberry birthday cake. But the next day we popped the buttermilk biscuits into the oven to warm and WOW... BEST BISCUITS EVER! EVER! We still have a baguette and sandwich rolls waiting, but THANK YOU for making a safe and absolutely delicious place for my celiac daughter to enjoy. ( and me too)“

“Beautiful wedding cake, reasonable price & delicious !!!“

“Debuted at the end of the pandemic in response to an ethnic slur Dago Bagel from Tony Gemignani is one of three concepts inhabiting 728 Vallejo Street, and from Thursday through Sunday beginning at 08:00am guests are welcome to enjoy everything from true New York Style Bagels to housemade loaves and traditional Italian Pastries made with skill and love.

Liberally using Malt and a Cuppone Panettone deck oven imported from Italy, plus stone-ground Flour made on-site, visitors attention is next drawn to Toscano Brothers including “Gold Standard” Baguettes and Organic Sourdough Ace Pagnotta incorporating Spelt, Rosemary and Olives into a 40 year old Sourdough starter.

“I lived in the area for 20 years and it hard to believe that I never reviews this bakery which is wonderful, I really started to purchase bread from them on regular basis during covid where this was one of very few establishments that was open and I never stopped.

They are large array of products from sweet, savory to of course all kinds of breads. They walnut is delicious but the classic baggette is just perfect and focaccia is of so yummy.

There is no seats but plenty around Ferry Building.

Vegan bread available.
Ingredients clearly marked on most of their breads.“

“I've been coming to this little bakery for about five years now, and every time I come here, I am never disappointed. Great service with a lot of great bake goods. The fruit tarts are simply the best, I cant say enough, great things about it.“
