Manresa Bread

Coffee was great with wonderful staff. Very accommodating and kind personnel at this location. Chocolate croissant and blueberry muffin were alright and not really anything I would come back for. The espressos pulled were very tasty. I would have appreciated more inside seating.

This is a take away place. We had the kouign amann and chocolate croissant. Excellent. Chocolate croissant is not sugary with dark chocolate. Could have a bit more chocolate but high quality chocolate 🍫🍫🍫. baguette tends to sell out early here.

Cute bakery on the heart of Town & Country Village with speedy service and tasty treats. My partner and I grabbed a quick breakfast here on the weekend and were all around quite impressed. We split their zucchini and ricotta tart for a savory bite and the chocolate croissant as a baseline comparison vs. other bakeries we’ve tried. Both were super buttery and flakey, and I was quite impressed by the lamination on the croissant. My favorite bite had to be the tart, though — the slightly sweet fresh zucchini went wonderfully with the buttery pastry and rich, creamy ricotta. The zucchini was tender but still had a bit of snap to it, which made for a fun combo of textures.

There’s not really any space to sit inside, but you can take your pastries out to one of the tables outside. It does get pretty crowded over the weekend, so you might have to get pretty lucky with your timing to snag a table.

food is an offensively expensive, greasy, salty, bland mess. I don't like leaving bad reviews but the food is truly awful.

coffee is from Verve, so it's fine.

Been a long time fan of manresa bread but they have started going down hill with the inconsistency. We both ordered jamon beurre and there was no beurre it was sad. Instead there was so much whole grain mustard it felt like we were eating raw horse radish every bite. I eventually had to open my sandwich to scrape the mustard off and I love mustard. The bread was also so heavily dusted with rice flour on the outside I had to take a knife to scrape it off. This place used to be a gem but the quality has definitely tapered off. The croissants are still good I would go there for only that moving forward.

I’ve been coming to Manresa Bakery in Palo Alto on and off over the years, and unfortunately, it’s been a steady decline. Frequent management changes have left the shop feeling disorganized, and the staff seems to lack knowledge about the menu—especially when it comes to items they used to offer. Their marketing feels more like gimmicks than substance, and frankly, it’s no different than going to any other coffee shop in the area.

The space itself feels chaotic and lacks the charm you’d expect from a Manresa brand location. On the bright side, the coffee is still good, but if you’re looking for the real Manresa experience, the Los Altos location is far superior. Save yourself the trip and head there instead.
