The banh mi sandwiches were good with a generous portion of meat. Will report on other Delicious looking sweet items when I try them.

Been here a few times now. I really want to love this place because the service is great. They’re friendly and quick and reasonably priced.

Apple turnovers (warm today!) and chocolate glazed donuts are good.

The raspberry-filled glazed donut (unfortunately found a hair in mine today) and cherry & cheese Danish were ok.

Haven’t tried it yet but am curious about the bahn mi, curry pastry and lemon tart.

Space was no frills and dated but that’s how you know you’re in an established family business. Glad this place is here, wish their products were better.

Parking: Spots were available out front before 9am (free at that time) on a week day but I’ve driven by many times and not been able to find parking.

This place is fantastic with tasty banh mi's (so far the best I've tried in SF) at good prices and a nice assortment of pastries and beverages. It's the perfect stop for a quick brekkie on the go. The couple who run this place are super friendly and put a lot of effort into making sure everything is as fresh as possible, which is evident by the quality of the food I got here.

Fresh and tasty donuts as well as breakfast sandwiches, savory pastries, and coffee. Super friendly service, always. Love this mom & pop shop. Maple, original glazed, and cake donuts are my go-tos!

I placed a large order of doughnuts for a back to school event this morning and everyone raved about them! They were very high quality and well packaged. I was so happy to recommend California Bakery over and over today because they were THE nicest folks to work with. Thank you!

Kid-friendliness: So friendly and sweet with my school aged kids!

I tried the donut holes and a ham and cheese croissant and a sandwich.The donuts were to die for.
The owners were very nice. The bakery has seating inside if you want to sit there and eat. You can’t park right in front of the store.

Do not believe a single reviewer who bad mouths this bakery. This bakery has hard working staff that are extremely patient and always radiate positive energy to every customer. Im a newer customer and I always get treated wonderfully when I go in. I was welcomed in even when they had been closed for nearly 30 mins. The donuts are pillowy and delicious. The savory pastries are chock full of scrumptious bites. If you are looking for gluten free then this is not for you and you should not go in and then write a bad review about how they don’t provide gluten free options but if you are looking for delicious GLUTENOUS treats then go in to support this awesome bakery!

This is a small bakery that has a nice assortment of pastries. This is a nice spot to get donuts or a croissant. Service is good but they can get busy and it gets packed at times.
