13 Best Bakeries in Petaluma

“Crumbl Cookies Petaluma has quickly become our family’s go-to spot for those special moments that deserve something extra sweet. What sets this place apart isn’t just the incredible rotating menu of gourmet cookies it’s the genuine warmth you feel the moment you walk in. The staff here treats every customer like they’re picking out cookies for their own family. They’re patient with indecisive kids, generous with samples, and always happy to explain what makes each week’s flavors special. Last visit, they even helped my daughter choose the perfect birthday surprise cookies for her teacher. The cookies themselves are works of art thick, soft, and loaded with quality ingredients you can actually taste. Whether it’s their classic chocolate chip (which somehow tastes like childhood perfected) or one of their creative weekly specials, each bite feels like a small celebration. The pink boxes have become a symbol of good news in our house!“

“As a Belgian, I am always on the lookout for an authentic French bakery. Sarmentine’s viennoiserie brought me back to early Sunday morning at home and I loved it! I was especially grateful for their pain au raisin. My one qualm (and this may be controversial because the bakery is near SF) is that the baguettes are sourdough and not authentically French.“

“Meat pie was really good, crust was awesome, packed with pulled pork and sauteed onions, had a great flavor.“

“Great customer service! Food is good and plentiful! Nice atmosphere!“

“Keith Giusto Bakery Supply company has been around for many years. It shows in the products they offer for baking and whole grains. Taking care of the customers is a top priority for them. I called on the phone and Nicole took care of any concerns I had with my order. Their products and customer service are second to none.“

“If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to eat pastries made by a fairy, go to Blooms End. We happened to show up when she reintroduced the Watermelon Sugar cake, each pastry was incredibly complex in its own unique way, we ordered 6 pastries and had to go back through the line to get more to share with friends and family. In addition to stunningly beautiful food, Mary is a beautiful storyteller. Her instagram posts and how she distills her life experience into each idea, it feels like each weekend is its own event, which it often is with whatever produce is in season. She’s also an incredibly lovely energy, if you’re looking for a dizzying morning of stunning food, ambiance, drive out to Blooms End.“

“This is the most delicious, intentionally crafted, fascist-free bread. For some reason a lot of right wingers have a hard time digesting it, but it goes down real smooth if you have more than 3 brain cells! Kids love it!“

“We ordered the original cheesecake from JM Rosen for our wedding in Canada, and we worked closely with Fernando at JM Rosen for nine months to make this happen. They went above and beyond to make this dream a reality, and we are so thankful for their impeccable cheesecake. We ordered more than we thought we needed, but apparently all of our guests couldn’t get enough of it because there was nothing left to take home after this!“

“I have been buying your bagels for years because you use sprouted, organic wheat & have a great quality product. I was pleased to learn that this is an employee-owned business on top of it from the clip on Capitalism a love story. Such a great model that would love to see in more businesses. 🤍“

“Every morsel is a treat every time for years! Yes, this is true! It is always crowded, I wish it wasn't but I understand that it must because too many people want to eat here...and so it is! And the staff are engaging, patient, efficient, and they appear to be content where they Are!, This community gem is a treat...drop in!! TY all of you who make it so! 🤗🎈😋🍐🍉🍓🥑🥒🥕🥓🥞🧀🥐☕️“

“This is the third year I have been gifted 2 loaves of your cinnamon walnut bread. And this is the third year that it has been absolutely fabulous. Thank you all for making this special treat.“

“Stellina is probably the only place in Petaluma with international quality standards. The price is moderate but the products that are received for it justify it. I've been going to this place for a couple of weeks and it really doesn't disappoint at all .5 Stars.“

“Love the Blistered Shishito pepper cream cheese when it makes an appearance!!“
