40 Best Bakeries in Riverside

“Although it was still delicious they seem to forgot to put the glaze on the bread“

“The two ladies working in there were so sweet. I had purchased gift cards days before and forgot to get the sleeve. They were so helpful and told me to take the ones I needed. I decided to go ahead and use my 800 points and get a mini sleeve of cookies. I had got the two cookies that my husband requested and the one celebration cookie that I really wanted to try. I was just told they ran out of the mini celebration cookie, so they instead gave me a full-size. I truly appreciate how kind they were because they knew how bad I wanted to try it. I will definitely be coming back to this location. The cookies were delicious and the excellent customer service meant a lot. Little things like this go along ways and those ladies don’t know how good they made me feel. I am currently five months pregnant and so the cravings were real lol. Thank you 😊“

“Donut are fresh every time We’re come in ,friendly service, clean.“

“Awesome lil family run donut shop. Killer ham n cheese and donuts. Fresh made sandwiches and the staff is awesome. Mom and Dad are always super friendly and their girls are always super happy to help. My daughter asks to go back and see her friends because they are so nice“

“Best cookies ever!!! So many tasty flavors and the Riverside cookie is awesome!!! They are all so delicious, it’s hard to only buy a dozen!!!“

“I have purchased birthday cakes for my father-in-law at this family owned and operated bakery for the past two years. The cakes are beautiful and delicious. The bakers are highly responsive and dedicated to their craft. If you call in advance they'll have your made-to-irder cake ready when you need it. Highly recommended.“

“Downtown Riversides hidden gem!!! Stopped by this wonderful shop while shopping at the farmers market. I expected a nice cupcake but what I received was an outstandingly wonderful cupcake!! We ordered a lemon cupcake and a red velvet.
The Lemon was wonderfully light and moist and full of sunshine kissed lemon flavor. The red velvet was equally as light and moist with wonderful melt in your mouth chocolate flavor. The frosting was neither to dense nor to light, it's flavor perfectly complimented both cupcakes. Be sure to stop by Cupcakes and Curiosities on your next trip to downtown riverside.“

“Delicious baked goods AND amazing customer service? Yes please! I love how I always find new yummy things to try!!“

“I absolutely love this Marie Calendar's. Their steaks are always cooked just right and their mashed potatoe with cheese, green onions and bacon - is the ultimate must-have. Not to mention their pies. Oh my goodness!! Their pies are the best!!“

“Delicious food! Thank you for the delivery. Made my mom very happy who is on hospice❤️❤️❤️🙏“

“hey this place is great. i come here time to time to get the pan dulce and its great, you get to see them make it and bring it out of the oven in the back and im super appreciateing of how its made if they run out inside. i dont order online“

“To my surprise, Mochi Lion is actually under new management and ownership now. The transformation is incredible as the space is way cleaner, the new menu is much tastier, and the drinks are absolutely spot on. What a night and day difference. I highly recommend checking out the new and improved Mochi Lion!“

“Been here a couple times recently saw a post on some social media about their banana fritter I went and picked up a dozen donuts for a event for my children and picked up that banana fritter. It was delicious and the kids loved the donuts. Oh yeah I had the bacon maple doughnut also man oh man delicious!“

“The best Mexican sweet bread“

“Such a charming coffee shop with some of the most amazing pastries I’ve had in a long time. Everything looked beautiful in the display case and tasted even better — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care.
The prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality you’re getting, which made the experience even sweeter. Perfect spot to relax with a coffee, catch up with a friend, or treat yourself to a quiet moment. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their delicious pastries!“

“First time here... and I just had to leave a review. I ordered the Turkey sandwich. The bread is very fresh and soft. The Turkey amount was good enough. I will be back to try out their pasta. They also do catering. Every item on the menu sounds and looks good!“

“Freshly baked and so soft ♥️“

“i was a little skeptical cus of the mixed reviews but yall the donuts were BOMB and the croissants are a MUST TRY! theyre huge and delicious and you can customize them however you’d like. the bagels were good i mean its hard to mess up a bagel. the taro was good a bit sweet but good but the cookies and cream drink is d e l i c i o u s. good vibes overall, TRUST THE DONUTS AND CROISSANTS ARE A MUST TRY!!🫶🏼“

“This place is so good, cookies are great so is the food, the service is awesome. ♥️“

“Just found this treasure today! I must say it was very nice and excellent customer service. I will go back again and already referred this place to friends.“

“By far, the best place to get your Mexican bread fix! None of that hard or filled with air type of bread. The conchas are amazing!! They even sell tamales, menudo and a few other items on the weekends. Give them a shot, you won't regret it!“

“Ordered a 6 inch strawberry cake for Mother’s Day. It was very good and they decorated it beautifully. I will be ordering our future cakes from here.“

“I never really liked cinnabon a couple years back. But then when i tried it again, Oh boy! I absolutly loved it! I dont care if i get diabetes from this i am getting more! Whenever i see a cinnabon location my brain just turns into a zombie and I must have cinnabon.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to get there“

“I love these conchas glad they went back to the old recipe, been coming here for years (10+), I just hate how they work in a small oven where they sale out before they can make more you can be in line waiting and probably won’t get some because people be getting like 15 of them, they can only bake like 30 at the time, they should invest in a bigger oven also the lady can sometimes be moody, the place can be more presentable looks the same in the last 10 years“

“Love all of Stater bros great prices fresh food and lots of lovely workers“

“Cookie decorating class with Sugar Mama Mia. Super fun and informative.“

“I stopped by Mr. Baker in the late afternoon and ordered a caramel iced latte, lemon bar, almond croissant, coffee cake, and a dog cupcake.

Overall, everything tasted good. The caramel iced latte was refreshing, the lemon bar had a great balance of sweetness and citrus, and even my dog enjoyed the cupcake. The bakery has a welcoming atmosphere and an excellent selection of pastries and treats.

One thing that immediately stood out was how clean and inviting the shop is. I really love what they did with the building. The modern renovation gives it a fresh, bright, and welcoming appearance. In an area that has struggled with blight and homelessness, Mr. Baker has created a space that feels cared for and uplifting. It’s clear that a lot of effort was put into improving both the business and the surrounding neighborhood, and I genuinely appreciate that. Thank you, Mr. Baker, for investing in our community and helping make this part of Riverside a little better. For that reason alone, I strongly support you as a local business.

My only criticism is that the coffee cake and almond croissant were a bit hard by the time I visited. For comparison, I personally prefer the almond croissant at Lee’s Sandwiches because theirs tends to be soft and more flavorful.

That said, to be fair, Mr. Baker makes their baked goods in-house, and these items are at their best when they’re freshly made earlier in the day. Based on the quality and flavor, I would definitely return and try them again during the morning hours.

Overall, this was a very enjoyable visit with good coffee, tasty pastries, a clean environment, and a business that is clearly investing in the local community. I look forward to coming back.“

“Cute little place. Nice variety of cakes. I bought a festive travel mug and 4different mini cakes. Yummie 😋“

“I love this Donut shop , they make delicious doughnut & Coffee ,“

“Would love to give them 5 stars but every time I go in I end up getting bread that feels like it might be a few days old, nothing wrong with it just a bit harder than the bread baked the same day. If they would let customers know what bread is from a previous day it would be awesome, I go to bakeries for freshly baked bread not for day old bread“

“We had an incredible tasting with Cyndi for our wedding desserts. Not only was she communicative, kind and professional, but the tasting experience was a delight. She does outstanding work. I will dream of those lavender macarons and snickerdoodles forever! Highly, highly recommend working with Cyndi.“

“Thank you for the opportunity to photograph and document this Family Owned Business. You can get Fresh cuts of meat and Freshly Baked Bread. But if you have time come sit down in the bakery and enjoy a delicious authentic Mexican home cook meal. I recommend the Torta de Milanesa or the Carnitas combo plate.“

“Solo necesita tener una persona que haga muy bien contenido para promocionar #lacocinaMESAVERDE“

“I normally would but lately I have Been disappointed in the deli. lately the chicken hasn't Been fully cooked. three times last couple weeks. this is usually my favorite spot 😫😝💔“

“Thank you for this beautiful cake. The cake looked amazing and it was delicious. I switched up the day before the event and sent in a photo of what I wanted and the lady worked with me and it came out perfect. Thank you so much for making my mother in laws birthday cake!“

“We love this place! A family tradition for us every Saturday!“

“Love the freshness. Friendly and clean. A pleasure doing business with them.“

“Their draft coffee and selection of bakery savors are my favorite for a quick stop refresher. Clean, bright open feel seating. Indoor or outdoor on the shaded patio. Great place to meet up with friends, family and associates.“
