50 Best Bakeries in San Jose

“This particular branch is located inside Mitsuwa; to the left when you walk in...past Hokkaido Ramen Santouka. They do a great job with the Mochi Donuts here. The Mochi Cupcakes are also very good. While this isn't a standalone venue, the menu here seems to be expanding frequently. In addition to their standard Mochi Donuts they keep adding new items. Not that I'm complaining...just an observation. Actually I'm ecstatic! I haven't seen some of these creative new items before. #Sugar ~ Matcha Mochisada - 5/5 These were amazing. Not too sweet or bitter, perfectly balanced Matcha cream on the inside. ~ Mochi Cupcake Black Sesame - 4/5 Excellent flavor. Not too sweet or bitter and the texture is spot on; delightfully chewy without being too dry. I prefer the Cupcakes over the donuts, better texture for me. ~ Matcha BRIOCHE - 4/5 Another brilliant creation. Mochi Brioche with Matcha cream filling. Delish! Can't wait to see what else they're going to come up with.“

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

“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.“

“Love them would definitely buy from crumble again“

“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“

“Naltaliya was great in every step of the way. We ordered a cake and a cupcake for the baby shower. Sent her some ideas and she created a masterpiece. When I saw the cake I was speechless. It was beautiful was beautiful and exactly what I wanted. It was also delicious. Not overly sweet, very moist, and made with love. Pretty much all the guests at the party asked me where we ordered the cake. Big big big thanks. I would highly recommend you order your next dessert from Natalia.“

“Great option if you're looking for little desserts for your next event! Lindley answered my questions promptly and even delivered straight to my party. These little bites went fast because they were sooooooo good! I'm recommending this bakery to all of my friends!“

“Just got a dozen of doughnuts for my daughter’s “last day of internship” event. Ladies in bascom donuts are j credibly nice, and donuts are incredibly fresh. Highly recommend, in the current day an age combination of price / quality was unmatched!“

“The strawberry cake was delicious!“

“Exceptional cake baked by exceptional folks.

I ordered their flourless chocolate cake for our gluten-free friends attending my wife's 50th birthday party.

Everything about my experience was perfect. Jonathon was super friendly & helpful over the phone. The cake was ready on time & looked almost too good (sophisticated ganache/cocoa striping). I wish I had more time to enjoy all the tasty baked goods on display.

The cake was a smash at the party. Texture & flavor made no compromise for being gluten free. Moist, almost fudgy, rich & chocolatey. Only one small piece was left for my wife & I to share, and that was because our gluten-capable friends were being thoughtful.

I'm looking forward to our next event as an excuse to order another cake from these folks.

Dietary restrictions: Flourless chocolate cake is exceptionally good“

“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!“

“Friendly staff and great breakfast burritos“

“Cute little shop. Had the best pork tamale that I've ever eaten. ?
I don't eat tamales often though... so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. Would love for someone to confirm. ?

Parking: There is a bit of 2 hour street parking on third next to the shop. Otherwise I think you'll need to pay for parking.“

“Buena atención al cliente excelente servicio“

“It's always fun to sit in Cocola. I enjoyed a lemonade, but they serve good coffee and freshly baked croissants (I'm gf so didn't taste it, but it looks really good and whoever ate it, said it was super yummy). They also serve salads etc. I like the European vibe, with the cute bistro furniture, in the middle of Santana Raw.“

“amazing classes, friendly instructors with a lot of patients... and their products are great, easy baking instructions and their cakes that you buy to make at home Amazing!“

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

“I came because my coworker brought a dozen of Pate chard to work and I enough it soo much I had to come to the shop myself. I tried other items. I had the #5 Pork Bánh mì which was very delicious, the bread was perfect, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The pate’ spread inside had a generous thick serving and flavor wise was nice and mild. The pork was flavourful and the veggies was fresh and had a good amount. The sugar can juice with calalmansi was tasty not to sweet just perfect. I had other bake goods all were delicious. I shared it my teenager and he enough it all as well. The lady at the counter was soo sweet. I asked a lot of question because I'm not familiar with Vietnamese pastries. She was smiling, patience and kindly answered all my questions. Highly recommend and will be a returning customer.“

“Great pastry, customer service is also great.“

“I was on my lunch break looking for some comfort food and knew just the place to go. Their self-serving fridge is usually stocked with great savory pies, but I’d been wanting to try the pork sausage rolls. The owner came out from the kitchen to tell me they just finished making more pies to fill up the fridge and the Chicken Tiki sounded good. Since it was freshly made and not frozen, the cook time would be much faster for my time crunch time than the frozen rolls. It smelled great cooking in the toaster oven, but when I got to cut into the innards, oh, so, tasty! Highly recommend Celtic Tea Shoppe for their awesome savory pies…and, btw, the pork roll was great as well!“

“I loved it, thanks especially to the baker omg I was delighted with the flavor and how beautiful it turned out I will return again everyone loved the flavor the first time I bought it and I will do it again thank you

Parking: Free parking friendly people
I recommend“

“Mother's day weekend is hectic for most, but the experience I had with the staff here made it all worth the wildeness. Ty to the young lady who was so attentive to help me out w/ my purse drop & all the items falling on the floor! And btw the buntdlets were a delicious hit!“

“Love everything about this place“

“I ordered a eggless cream cheese frosting cake with fondant topper.

The entire Cake was delicious with right amount of sweetness . Fluffy , not drying.

Cute decorations.

Felt very light in stomach after eating. I would order here again for my oncoming functions.“

“I ordered a 4 tier cake for my wedding. I asked if they would be able to do the old vintage cake designs. I was told yes. I sent several detailed emails and pictures of what I wanted. The cake was NOTHING close in design, outside of 4 levels, nothing else looked like the pictures. Only one of the colors, only a couple flowers. Then, 1 hour into the reception the cake fell over. I never even got to cut my 4 tiered cake! When I brought it up after, she blamed the heat. There was air conditioning in the venue! She offered to redo it for pictures. I agreed then never heard from her. I contacted her multiple times and I just today get an email from her saying she can't do that after all. I lost money, had a mediocre cake that looked nothing like the inspo picture I sent, and had my cake fall over and barely salvaged enough for the guests. This is a horrible business who doesn't care about making a cake for something as important as a wedding. My dream cake was ruined. I should've gone with someone else. What a horrible bakery. Liars and unprofessional. If you don't know how to do vintage designs don't sat you do! And do not offer a remake if you don't mean it! If you're looking for a multi tiered wedding cake, do not use them!“

“y new go to tres leches place. The tres leches cake was YUM! I ordered a small portion of their quarter sheet cake - was perfect for 5-7 people. They also got my request to go light on the icing and 75% sweetness right on. And my ever so picky husband (also the bday boy) liked it. Win-win!

It's a small crowded bakery/store - the staff was friendly and super nice! Need to go back to try the rest of their stuff.“

“I recommend everything about this Portuguese treasure.“

“I tried the banana cream spiral croissant, the Mac bar, and the brownie. The spiral croissant was dense, like a kouign amann (which is not a bad thing, depending on your preferences.) The lovely employee told me they were currently having issues with their croissants so they were smaller in size and not very cylindrical but it shall be fixed in due time! I love banana desserts but this one didn't have any cream on the inside as they sort of implied, just a moist banana-flavored section inside the croissant.

The Mac bar was buttery with a milk bar cookie crust.

I was told the brownie was filled with macaron bits but we couldn't taste it. The chocolate frosting on top was rich and decadent though.

Overall, a promising bakery with twists on mainly American classic sweets.“

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

“best Tortas n bread. very friendly“

“This bakery definitely deserves more reviews than it has. I've been to a good 80 percent of the bakeries in San Jose and this is the only bakery were I have yet to get a bread that tastes old. This place is one of the few bakeries around that values freshness so stop by and show support“

“I have ordered from this place several times already and the cakes are so good. It has the right amount of sweetness and the owner is very friendly. Everybody in my office alway asking when I will be ordering again because they all agreed that the pies are very good.“

“111 Bakery's pastries are tasty. We came here while waiting for our sandwiches next door. There was a short line and it moved quick. This is a take out only bakery and no seats are available. We ordered some egg & ham buns $2.50 each, ham & cheese buns $2.50 each, some pate chauds $2.50 each and a strawberry milk tea $5; split among me and my friend. The highlight for me was the pate chaud. It was so buttery with meat inside. Good job my friends at 111 Bakery, from the bakers to the service staff.“

“We ordered our wedding cake from them and it was delicious. They delivered on time and they were super friendly. They even reminded us to bring the flowers the day before our wedding which was much appreciated. Super professional in my opinion.“

“My friend spoils me with yummy treats from the Baking Corner! The deserts are incredible! I haven’t tried a single thing that I haven’t loved!“

“I had to wait in line but anyway, the people who serve you are very friendly and the bread is freshly made...I love the bolillos ?

Parking: It is difficult to find parking since the businesses are next door and it is always full there.“

“Bought 1 of everything so far have liked the 3 that I've tried“

“What a GREAT find! There are many Panderias by my house and since the one I originally stopped at had a line, I came here because I noticed it kinda tucked away where no one can notice. I was getting pan for my co workers and everyone was very pleased with the quality (not dry) I would definitely come back :)“

“I was looking for a bakery to get my 1 year old a cake, since it was last minute that we decided to get him a cake for his birthday today and I wasn’t expecting to find a place that would make it right on the spot, but I was lucky enough to find Nubia’s Pastelería..they told me that they only take orders but that since it was a small cake they would do an exception and decided to take my order and had the cake ready within 30 minutes. I was impressed, and the cake came out super delicious and the decoration was beautiful. Beyond my expectations! Thank You Ladies!“

“Possibly my favorite bahn mi. The #5 roasted pork is tender inside with a crisp outside and the same is true for the bread. The flavor is spiced (not spicy) and savory with a touch of almost subliminal sweet. The pork and chicken chaud is fantastic and the Vietnamese ice coffee is solid.The setup is tailored more to go, but the appliances and food on display is well lit, clean, and appealing.Finally, the price is fair. And if you have a lot of mouths to feed and/or save the sandwiches for later, you can get 1 free if you buy four.“

“A wonderful REAL bakery, making bread on a rotating stone in front of you. We bought a Persian bread: somewhere between a naan and a focaccia covered in white and black sesame seeds. It was still warm and we devoured it between the two of us in the car over the next 20 minutes. Heavenly taste and consistency with nothing added. We also bought a bag of taftoon: naan-like large round flatbreads which we ate over the next two days for picnic meals. They were also delicious with a great texture and they kept well. This is a real artisan baker. There is no fancy store front. There is only the oven, a counter and the bread. Wishing them continued success!“

“Best Persian breads and Persian pastries“

“awesome, delicious food,great friendly service.“

“Stopped in today to get a last minute birthday cake. The black sugar cake wowed everyone -- just as good and flavorful if not better than the boba drink, with some interesting textural contrast of crunchy bits, in addition to fluffy and creamy cake/buttercream? layers. So yummy!! The red bean bun I grabbed as a snack was also delicious. We will be back.“

“Loving all the food and clean place“

“(Translated by Google) I tried the tamales. How strange it made me prepare them with cream sauce and cheese, that is not seen in Mexico, it was good, the dough was neither hard nor watered down, a lot of dough but also a lot of meat, it would have been better if more juice came out but good to kill the hungry(Original)Probé los tamales. Que extraño se me hizo que los preparen con salsa crema y queso, eso no se ve en México, estaba bueno, la masa ni dura ni aguada, mucha masa pero también mucha carne, hubiera estado mejor que saliera más jugoza pero buena pa matar el hambre“

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

“This is a small family owned business, and the ladies here make amazing food and drinks. The iced chai latte is the best I’ve ever had, and I only get them here. I recommend this place to all my friends and family, and I highly recommend you all to visit this hidden gem.“

“I love Cinnabon especially in Eastridges Mall very clean n staffs are friendly Unlike in Oakridges mall the place is very dark n not clean n staffs are not friendly“

“I recently ordered a cake from Cherrys Cakery, and it was absolutely fantastic. The cake was beautifully decorated, moist and full of flavour. We could tell it was made with high quality ingredients and lot of care.

She was very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely be coming back for more and highly recommend.“
