Patisserie/Cake Shops near Oakland, CA

“From the moment we walked in, we were greeted so warmly—which instantly set a great tone for the meal! We decided to share the pastrami sandwich, and they definitely did not skimp. It was loaded with a generous amount of incredibly tender pastrami.
​What really stole the show for me, though, were the accoutrements. The pickled onions and celery were absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with the savory meat. I highly recommend checking this place out!“

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

“I couldn’t decide which bakery made the best fruit tart until I had La Farine. In my book, La Farine takes the crown! The fruits are sweet, and the glaze is not overpowering. The crust has a layered texture and the cream is not too sweet.

I preordered the fruit tart over the phone and had family pick up the dessert for me. No complaints in the ordering/pickup process. I’ll be back!“

“Ordered birthday cake and it was divine. Cake was so moist and delicious. Customer service was fantastic too. Will definitely order again“

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

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

“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.?“

“Needed a cake for my daughter’s 2nd birthday! I texted them first to see if they can accommodate the design as well as timeline. They were very responsive! Placing an order online was seamless. They also deliver!

We had the cake delivered on the day off. The cake was amazing - looks and tastes great! Our guests devoured it an had been asking who made the cake!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“The patio? There’s a patio??

I’ve been coming to Dynamo for years and somehow had no idea. I always just grabbed a donut to go or picked up a box for coworkers and left.

This time I saw the “patio” sign, grabbed a coffee and a donut, and sat down—and it completely changed everything.

It’s sunny, quiet, and weirdly perfect for getting work done. Great donuts, great coffee - but the patio is the hidden gem.“

“Gluten-free goodies, gluten-free goodies, gluten-free goodies! Call ahead if you want one or couple three GF cupcakes. They don't always have GF cupcakes available.
It was a hearty crumb kind of reminded me of a sweet cornbread. I don't know if there's any corn used in the making of the cake though. delicious! Raspberry buttercream on top or in the center as I like to eat my cupcakes. I wouldn't get the biscotti again but maybe if they dipped them in chocolate :-) I'm so pleased I live close to a gluten-free bakery! They had several GF offerings when I went there“

“Hidden Gem!
This place is peaceful, clean and family-friendly. I love the large wood slab tables for working on the computer and staying a while. My favorite thing about this coffee spot is that they use quality ingredients: ORGANIC coffee and homemade blends. Skip the overload of sugar at Dutch Brothers and try this place. You will find it addictive.

P.S. Try the Brown Butter Latte! ;)“

“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!“

“I did a surprise blind door dash delivery from Texas to my grieving family across town where you are locally and they were appreciative, happy and said it was delicious “it made our morning” and “never thought i would be drinking a lavender tea”If we every make it that way I will come try for myself. 🤜🏼🤛🏼 thanks“
