A very delicious and fluffy burnt almond cake! I came very close to open and there was already a line of multiple people. Prices are reasonable too. Plenty of street parking. $10 minimum for credit card so I also picked up a banana walnut loaf! I cannot wait to try the other pastries too. No indoor seating area or coffee though, unfortunately!

I bought a vanilla almond burt cake & it was so dry. Sad to see that their cake is not the same. Luckys cakes are at least moist. So I will be buying my cakes there.

Forgot to pick up a cake and they were closed the next day. No exceptions on refund or replacement. But gets that tax credit to donate my purchased cake to a local charity.

If you’re not familiar with this bakery yet, it probably means you haven’t tasted their legendary almond cake. The name might slip your mind, but the flavor never does—and honestly, they know exactly which cake everyone comes in for. That perfectly toasted almond topping and rich, indulgent layers have earned this place its reputation for a reason. One bite explains the hype better than any description ever could. It’s the kind of dessert people talk about long after it’s gone, and once you’ve tried it, you’ll understand why this bakery is so well known.
I'VE BEEN IN, I'VE EATEN IN, I'VE ORDERED FROM THERE SINCE THE 80's,!! IN MORNING TIME'S WHEN FEW OF US LOWRIDERS HEADING TO ALUM ROCK PARK TO BBQ, DOUGHNUTS WERE ALWAYS BOUGHT FROM PETER HIMSELF! GREAT STOP, AND ATMOSPHERE ON THE SPOT 😃!!

Been coming here for years. I was very dissapointed when the cupcakes I bought were stale. Very unlike them.

Hands down one of my favorite bakeries in San Jose! I came 30 min before closing on a weekday and was surprised to see how many people were still coming in to get their Peters' Bakery fixes before they closed for the day. The burnt almond cake is my absolutely favorite because it's the perfect sweet treat that's also not overly sweet. I've gotten it in a full size cake form and also cupcake form which is nice cause I can still get my fix no matter how many people I'm catering to. There were other baked goods options that I will definitely try next time. The staff were also super friendly, nice, and speedy so I got in and out pretty quickly. Parking was easy-ish, but I can imagine it might be a little hard if it's super busy or if you come on the weekend.

Always freshly baked goods with a smile! Fast service, friendly atmosphere and great employees. Loving this place since 1960!
I ordered a create your own chocolate cake. The online process was easy and when I called them to ask if I could pick up the cake slightly early, the girl I spoke to was very nice. However, parking was a nightmare, the employee in the bakery who checked me out was a bit rude, and the cake ended up being extremely dry. No one went back for seconds. Was not worth the hassle of going there or the money.

What happened to this place? The cakes are ok but they are so dry now... not the same as it was 10+ years ago.
