50 Best Bakeries in San Jose

“The strawberry cake was delicious!“

“Yummy cookies. Thank you!“

“The best cookies I’ve had in a while. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth but these are so so good! I love the new variety of flavors every week and how they’re so unique and different than the generic cookies you buy in the grocery store. The price isn’t too bad either! For a box of 6 cookies it’s $22 but the cookies are HUGE. I can never finish one by myself so I leave them to the rest of my family. Also pro tip download the crumble app so you can earn free rewards. 100 points equals to $10 you can use towards the cookies.“

“We were in town to get a present and of course we had to stop and get a box of our goodies we used to get every Friday. Great that you can now order before coming into town. Always really good“

“Thanks Charlie for donating your yummy cheesecake bites for St Catherine’s 7th grade class fundraiser towards their Washington DC trip.“

“Soy, Almond, and Oat milk lattes!! They use chromatic coffee and the savory pastries are DIVINE! The goat cheese sun-dried tomato pastry was yummy and flaky:) Use the restroom before coming though because they don’t have them 🥹“

“We chose Natasha’s treats for our wedding cake on December 2025 and we couldn’t be happier. Her customer service was top notch, she answered all our questions, and brought our dream cake to life. But besides her wonderful work her cake was delicious, we chose the tropical treat and it was delicious, it was the best part of our day.“

“We ordered 4 sandos and every single one was amazing!! The Hong Kong Milk Toast tastes like a peanut butter sandwich so rich it must have been raised by the Vanderbilts. It was a transcendental experience for all 3 in our party. The Lemongrass Chicken Salad Sando, Longanisa Sando, and Egg Salad Sando were also good but the Milk Toast was just on another level. Will definitely be coming back for another.“

“I was very charmed by this local donut spot. It is an older establishment (so a little run down which honestly just added to the whole experience for me) but very affordable and clean. Good donuts (very generous raspberry filling), tasty breakfast sandwich, hot diner coffee, the sweetest lady behind the counter, and regulars who were happy to see each other.“

“bought a cinnamon roll at Nordstrom, Doughy and tasted like chemicals. the worst I've ever had and it cost 8 dollars!“

“ok this might be my favorite latte now“

“Customer service & quality“

“Friendly staff and great breakfast burritos“

“Great taste and lots of wonderful pan dulce options! Pavo Torta! delish!“

“I realized that I haven't written a Google review for The Celtic Tea Shoppe yet. I went to there today and I was glad that they're open. The day before, they were closed due to a family emergency. The owners are wonderful people. I got a Scotch Whisky Fudge for my sister. I also got Salted Caramel Corn, Ginger Newts, pumpkin pasty, and two apple pasties. All of which that I love to get. I have never tried soda bread before so I'll get that next time. I'll be going there again soon.“

“Omg! The Yummiest Empanadas I’ve tasted. It’s a perfectly baked flakey perfect every bite. I can’t wait to go back for more!“

“i was craving a torta and decided to give this local eat a chance. i got 4 pan dulces, 2 drinks and 2 tortas all for 38$. the service was very fast and the tortas were very delicious. they truly don't skimp out on anything. def worth trying“

“Great pastry, customer service is also great.“

“Avni from Butter Cheeni is very good with communicating about the cake, giving me samples to taste and also she is an excellent baker. I ordered a full sheet rasmalai and mango eggless cake for a 60th birthday and she did a super job. Thank you Butter Cheeni and I would recommend them any day! - sushmita (San Jose).“

“Went here to try the viral fruit desserts, and they were very yummy with the perfect crunch. The staff was really friendly. We also got a lemonade and some macaroons and they were good as well. I love the different flavor options that they had to choose from. Each flavor that we tried, which was the mango passionfruit banana and raspberry each had a good taste of their own but all very refreshing. Glad to have a local spot to go to finally! Try the new pistachio flavor and it was bomb!!! the perfect crunch and delicious flavor combination. Also tried some of the new flavors of macaroons, the Earl Grey, jasmine tea, strawberry, guava, pistachio and birthday cake. My kids love the birthday cake flavor, and I thought the strawberry guava was very fruity and refreshing the Earl Grey and the jasmine tea were also very good and the pistachio very subtle flavor.“

“I really enjoy Panapolis, especially their sweet bread—it’s always fresh and delicious. We also ordered a cake for a First Communion, and it turned out wonderful. Not only did it look beautiful, but it tasted amazing as well. Everyone at the celebration loved it. I’d definitely recommend Panapolis for both everyday treats and special occasions.“

“I highly recommend this restaurant. I only come here occasionally on Saturday mornings to eat breakfast with a group of friends. I order the Vegetable Omelet and it is consistently delicious every time I order it. My friends also say that they like whatever food they order. We plan to be customers for life!!!“

“Fantastic Bakery I have been coming here for years to many to list but their carrot cake rules“

“Buena atención al cliente excelente servicio“

“The Pate Chaud here is very good! The meat is juicy and the bun not so oily. I highly recommend 😋!“

“One of the best locations in San Jose for bolillos. Yes, it's actually a Vietnamese bakery but sell Mexican pan and drip coffee ☕.

CASH ONLY.

No seating, on weekend mornings there is typically a line out the door. Street Parking on Keys Street or next to Stadium Liquors (delicious taqueria inside) Fair prices.“

“The staff at this location are sweet and friendly. Thank goodness they have one gluten free option and it is delicious. Thank you for helping me get my cake fix 💖💖💖💖“

“2 out of 3 times my bagel was toasted just right (one time was burned). Those are pretty good odds. If you get there early, the bagels are still warm from being freshly made and are even more delicious. They are generous with the schmear, which is nice compared to other places that are stingy with it. There is a cozy dining area, which is just right for eating my bagel while still waking up.“

“My favorite banh mi in the south bay! Dac Biet always has the perfect ratio of meat, pate and bo. It’s a real homey vibe to it, and the owners always are always so nice! Not to mention it’s under $8 for a sandwich which is a steal in this economy!! Also can’t beat a nuoc mia slushy in this weather. 👀“

“My favorite coffee shop in the area!! Def recommend
I loved their black iced coffee and hojicha latte. Their pastries were outstanding as well. I tried the sesame mochi and blueberry pie and they were fresh and not too sweet. Tbh they are better than other popular bakeries in the area :)“

“Such a great find! Ordered 5 boxes of pastry samplers for nursing home staff. It was a huge success, everyone commented on how delicious it was, rich buttery and the right sweetness. Ordering online and pickup was easy. They confirmed the online order and let you know when it’s out of the oven and ready for pickup.“

“best Tortas n bread. very friendly“

“Today I visited Mi Tierra Bakery and really enjoyed it. The pan de la abuela and hot chocolate were both delicious, and the customer service was excellent. The restrooms were clean, and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. It was such a nice place to relax for a moment with some sweet bread and coffee. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a true Colombian flavor — definitely a must-visit.“

“I stopped by Cocola while exploring Santana Row.

The first thing that caught my eye was the beautiful outdoor tables. The design felt clean, colorful, and inviting, and the whole space had a charming atmosphere.

A lovely little place to stop and enjoy the surroundings.

🧭 HELLO VOYAGER“

“Love everything about this place“

“Thank you so much, Anh Thu for the incredible food and service …Everything was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and our guests are still raving about it. Your team went above and beyond to make the day seamless. We truly appreciate your hard work!“

“I had a very good experience while I was here I had the most excellent customer service ever . Ill come back“

“Nice setting, good pastries and coffee. nice place to relax with a friend and enjoy a coffee.“

“Mmmf, mmmf. Orange cardamom and Valrhona chocolate chip cookies. Oh, and coffee.“

“I recommend everything about this Portuguese treasure.“

“Bakery known for high quality pastries and cakes with unique flavors. I ordered an earl gray cloud cake over the phone the previous day and picked it up as soon as the store opened. Upon arrival, I was enticed by the fresh smell of bread and saw they were packaging freshly made bread so I bought their milk cream bread and coffee bun to try. Definitely glad I did because the fresh pastries tasted amazing! Pastries are average priced compared to competitors but their quality and flavors give them the edge. Staff were also patient and kind, helping recommend to me their most popular pastries while ringing up my order. I would definitely come back to try their different pasties and other cake flavors.

Their coffee buns ($4) and milk cream bread ($3.50) were perfect. The coffee buns had a subtle scent of coffee that filled the air upon unwrapping it, and the bun itself had a mildly sweet flavor with a fluffy, hollow and chewy interior. There milk cream bread had a perfectly sweet cream filling that paired well with the butter and fluffy dough surrounding it.

In all honesty the earl gray cloud foam cake was missing the earl gray flavor I was looking for. However the cake overall was enjoyable – the chocolate cake layers were smooth and buttery while the cream around the cake was the perfect sweetness. I just wished the cream had more earl gray essence.“

“PQ provided the cakes for our wedding, and they were hands down the best we’ve ever had at a wedding. We ordered a 6-inch single-tier cake for our cutting/photos and two sheet cakes for the guests. The flavors—Berry Chantilly and 'It’s Bananas'—were both incredibly delicious and sophisticated. For the display cake, we went with a simple white textured design that our florist added fresh flowers to, and it looked like a work of art. Beyond the quality, PQ was super communicative, straightforward, and easy to work with. Our guests complimented the cakes all night. We would order from them again in a heartbeat. Honestly fighting the urge to order a custom cake for any random week because they are just so delicious.“

“amazing!!! my family also loves them❤️“

“Heard lots of good comments on Anton SV Patisserie and been wanting to try for long time. Love their easy to order process, very convenient. Forgot whether it was a confirmation from store or my inquiry to them. Communication and customer service is excellent, they helped answer my question within short period of time. Five stars with my first purchase experience, I built a lot of trust and confidence to their service. I got the Hokkaido milk Cake which is so delicious and sweetness is perfect, not super sweet . I can tell they use nice ingredients as the cream taste excellent. I love their tiny chocolate crunchy bites hidden inside the layers which creates my cravings to eat a second pieces again. The cake looks very upscale and perfect for pics. Can't wait for to try the Sesame cake next month on my b-day ❤️👍“

“Just for the huge Mexican pastry selection alone, this place is wonderful. It also has the best tacos around me, with tortillas made fresh in house, by hand - which are almost like pastries themselves.
My one complaint, having stopped in for breakfast this morning, is that it is *very* warm inside - about 80 Fahrenheit.“

“The bread is fantastic! The Barbari is very good, especially hot out of the oven, and the lavash is easily the best in the area. You do have to go early—by 8:30 they should have all the bread available. It’s a small, informal place, and you can’t sweat it if they don’t have what you want when you go. Just get whatever they have and you’ll be happy with it! The prices are very reasonable.“

“I love love love it!!!
This cake was so perfect it taste so good i am so happy to find this bakery its a new owner and there hours are way better than prevous owner there open mon-Sunday 4am-9pm there customer service was Great and i am very excited to order my next cake its the best cake i had ever tried“

“From the moment we met fellow Mancunian Julie we had a warm feeling. She immediately welcomed us. We had pre ordered (online) pork pies and sausage rolls. They were ready and waiting. No doubt Julie is a good baker. The pork pies had the taste, texture, and appearance of those from the UK. The sausage rolls had a delicious flakey pastry wrapping and the sausages were again like those in the UK. Highly recommended“
