“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 😋“

“I come here 2 times a week. The staff is great!! Milly also knows my kids have a dairy allergy, so he always makes sure the drinks are made properly.
The quality of the macha is unmatched. It is whisked properly for each ordered drink.
The macha donuts are delicious and have a few great flavors.
I also have to give credit to the staff when they are busy and short handed. The staff has always kept their cool and balance taking orders and making them.“

“Rolled up at 7:20 AM on a Saturday and found parking very easily on the street in front and practically no line. Caneles weren't available but I don't know if that was because someone had managed to clean shop in 20 minutes or they weren't ready yet. We got:
Quiche Lorraine: excellent, stood up well to microwave reheating and really appreciated the saltiness from the ham, was a full meal with some fruit and a slice of the walnut loaf on the side
Chocolate almond croissant: excellent texture and sweetness
Pain au chocolat: it was good but probably wouldn't buy again simply because I think other things taste better and are more worth the calories/money
Cardamom and walnut scone: my sleeper hit, ordered it because I saw someone else raving about it and wow wow wow so unassuming looking but maybe my favorite?
Ham and cheese cup: my husband's favorite; I had doubts about the hard boiled egg inside as I'm not generally a fan but it wasn't chalky in the slightest
Walnut bread: texture is perfect, soft yet with great body, one of the best loaves I've had in a long time
Caneles: didn't buy this time but have before and they are *chef's kiss*, perfect little hint of alcohol, burnt (but not bitter) sugar taste
Also bought Paris-Brest but that's for dessert tonight.“

“Our go-to spot for Chinese pastries and cakes. Been here forever, and although prices continue to go up more than I would like, we still continue to come.
Fairly convenient spot on the edge of Oakland Chinatown where parking isn't the easiest but plenty of folks double park so you won't be alone if you do. The have most baked good staples but also good cakes if you call ahead.
When in line, watch out for the grandma's that pretend they didn't see you standing there the entire time or the grandpa's sneaking in for a quick cup for coffee/tea.
Their cakes are great; not too sweet, the Asian way. We always try to order ahead but they usually have a couple just in case.“
“The best cookies ever!!! So happy we have locations here in the Bay Area. Went in today and ordered chocolate chip cookies, and the Biscoff cookie and they were both very delicious as always. I love the biscoff cookie! Not too sweet, warm, yummy filling and good portion for the price. Great customer service.“

“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.“

“A new contender for the best kalamata olive bread (4/5 Green Stars). It’s Day 3 of Shelterfest, sponsored by Coronavirus, and I was feeling kinda satisfied (i.e., less guilty than yesterday) after making an earnest attempt to work remotely. So I took myself off for an afternoon stroll and, landing in the vicinity of College and Alcatraz Ave, decided to pick up some bread if there was any to be had. La Farine was quiet and there was plenty of bread left, even at 4 pm. (So pop in to support them if you’re in the area!) I usually get their rustic baguette but this time bought a loaf of olive bread. The servers were super friendly and one asked me if I wanted some free pastries. Ya-ha I did! I scuttled home with my bag of goodies and heated up one of the freebies – a chocolate croissant (toaster oven, bake for 3-5 min). The croissant doesn’t look that amazing, I have to admit, but it tasted wonderful. Buttery, flakey pastry and just the right amount of good quality chocolate. Later I had the bread – I’m a big fan of Semifreddi’s Kalamata olive bread so the bar was pretty high. I have to say that it was up there with my favorite bread – it was a little fuller than the Semifreddi’s loaf, but that wasn’t a bad thing as I sometimes feel that I’m eating a lot of air with the latter. In summary, I can’t believe I’ve never reviewed La Farine before because I’ve gone there many a time. I recommend the three things mentioned above and also their Irish soda bread is really good and pretty authentic. I just found out that La Farine started out in this location in 1977 – almost as old as I am, said Bilbo. I'm also giving La Farine 4/5 "green stars" for social and environmental impact, based on these reasons: • It seems that they use conventional white flour and organic whole wheat flour. • Their website is lacking on information on ingredient sourcing (compared to, say Acme). I’d like to know more about their flour, eggs, butter, chocolate, etc. • La Farine donates leftover products to area food banks and senior centers • They also support Bay Area schools and other local causes • Their bags are made from post-consumer recycled paper and printed with water-based inks. • Most of the menu is vegetarian and some of the breads are vegan. Interested in writing green star reviews? If so, contact me!“

“Gregory’s gourmet deserts is a little peace of heaven on earth! The soul that goes into his deserts are not only filled with passion but also with flavor! Humble beginnings and beautiful cheesecakes are coming out of his paradise! I am from Wisconsin and we know a thing or two about cheese but I can tell you we can’t compare to Gregory and his cheesecakes! I hope he decides one day to create a cookbook because he is just that amazing! I can’t express how heavenly and rich his deserts are but please don’t pass this gem up if you do, you will regret it!!!“

“I was in the area and decided to stop by. Fatima was very friendly and welcoming. She recommended the pistachio latte and it was really good. Nice flavor and strong just how I like it. The breakfast pastry I got was amazing. The potatoes were soft and savory and full of flavor. I was not expecting the food and coffee to be so good. Definitely going to come here regularly.“

“The $3.5 fish-fillet sandwich is a must try.
They have a large selection of pastries and dim sum but it really depends on what do they have when you are at front of the line. So it’s nice to have a general idea of what you want while in line since you may need to make quick decisions on getting alternatives lol.
Expect at least 20-people-long lines.“

“I just want to point out this place! The baked goods are just like those on the cozy streets of Europe, fresh and incredibly delicious! Now I often stop here, get a cup of espresso and always grab a couple of treats for my wife. They have a huge variety of breads! They said they bake everything in the morning, which makes the baked goods special!
If you never stopped here, hey, just try! Believe me, you’ll love it!“

“I stopped by here for a quick bite and was blown away by the quality. Everything I tried was incredibly fresh and flavorful.
The variety in the display case is impressive, especially those cookies labeled for pumpkin chocolate chip. You can tell they put a lot of care into what they bake. I will definitely be coming back soon to try more of their menu.“

“My first experience with the house of bagels, but in the late 60s, I attended high school with one of the sons and also had my first Onion flat. After moving back from New York and year 2000 I was glad to see that they were still in business, And that whenever I am in and around always without hesitation, stop by to pick up some bagels or two or three🥰“

“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 usually don’t write reviews, but I think this crepe store deserves more recognition! The location of this store is very good; it’s located at Park Street, which is incredibly accessible! The guy who took my order was very sweet and friendly! Service was very fast too! My order came out hot and fresh.
As for the taste of my order, I got a sweet crepe #7, Sweet Sunset, that included a very generous portion of strawberries and bananas. The taste of the strawberries and bananas were really refreshing, fresh, and sweet! Their ice cream selection is pretty good, offering matcha, cookies and cream, vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. I also really liked the texture of the crepe itself, it was slightly crispy yet bready combined with the Nutella makes the crepe come together to taste super rich.
As for the vibe of the store, the atmosphere is very clean, and has a lot of seats for customers. One thing I liked about the seats is that the owner put cushions for the marbled side which shows that they are really considerate for their customers. I also like the music they played it’s not too loud or too quiet, just the perfect volume. And I like how they have an LED backdrop to take picture of your order!
Basically this place deserves a 10/10, the portions again, were very generous but most importantly filling. I would definitely come back to order more with friends. Do give this spot a try!“

“I can't believe I haven't written a review for a business my kids and I frequent all the time! We've been coming to Always Yours since it opened. Hands down they have the best drinks, cookies, macarons, cakes, and now salt bread! I always come to get treats for my kid's teachers (for their birthdays, teacher appreciation week, just because, etc.). I've brought friends visiting the Bay Area to this bakery, which they have loved. Always Yours also has fun cup sleeve events, macaron classes and afternoon tea from time to time. We love supporting small businesses and this one is definitely worth supporting!
P.S. with all these drink places popping up in the area...we still think the drinks at Always Yours not only taste better, but also are of higher quality.“

“The food and service were great. Fast, kind, and delicious. The interior space is definitely not a 5 atar dining experience. But for a place to sit and eat breakfast, it was fine. The selection was good, and the pastries were clearly made fresh. They did a great job making the food and drinks we ordered. Would definitely go back again.
Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly breakfast options. Donuts, bagels, cinnamon rolls, etc.“

“My family used to go here when it was in Chinatown San Francisco, so happy to know they moved to Oakland Chinatown. They have the same cases and handwriting from years old, very nostalgic. The food and price are the same, both extremely affordable and tasty. I got everything in the photo for $18.50. I highly recommend their egg tart and pineapple custard buns.“

“We ordered several flavors of cupcakes and one small cake to serve as the dessert at our daughter and son-in-law's wedding this past weekend, after having tasted multiple flavors a few weeks earlier. The cupcakes (including GF and vegan options) were all outstanding - so delicious, moist, and beautiful. The cake was equally fabulous and attractive. Many guests agreed that they'd never had better cupcakes, or a better dessert at a wedding. So good and so memorable - just what our daughter hoped for.“
