Dianda's Bakery | San Mateo

We had a celebration for my Father's 90th birthday and I wanted to get my Father a more, at least what I thought would be a good quality cake and boy were we all disappointed! We at 65 people. My Grandfather used to have a pastry shop in North Beach and my Dad couldn't understand the poor quality of this cake. It was a strawberry shortcake with strawberries that were almost left whole,the layers were very dry and almost a dark brown on the bottom and the cream didn't even taste like a real whipping cream,it was left outside most of the day and didn't even melt and it was a hot day. Next time I think we'll just go to Costco and get a sheet cake there because everyone was saying that would have been better than spending $217 on a cake no one wanted to finish

Delicious Sweets.. Courteous, Helpful, Respectful staff..
Love Dianda's Bakery!

It's been around forever and quality is excellent.🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

Best tres leches cake in all of the bay area. I've been going there for over ten years. Never disappoints.

Small bakery, the cookies look great.
Ordered a Tiramisu cake and pineapple tres peches. Tiramisu did not feel authentic, but was just another sponge cake. The tres leches was good, but you’d get the same in any other bakery.
Overly priced.

How delicious the desserts here are and the environment is very friendly and very clean, delicious 🤤🤤🤤

Bakery items that taste amazing! We keep going back for more - family absolutely loves their Panettone!
BUT - what’s with the 3% credit card payment surcharge?!

The tiramisu was phenomenal. The service was lacking, they looked tired, annoyed. Even ordering over the phone was chaotic. Otherwise, I will definitely make the drive out again to order more cakes and desserts.

We bought a St Honore cake for Christmas. It was excellent. And, it was as nice to look at as it was delicious.

Old school Italian bakery/cafe. The counter lady seemed bothered by my existence, but I’m not offended. The cake I had was dry and a little two artificially flavored for my taste. Although I am not a huge fan of Italian sweets to begin I like to support small businesses and try new places. Lots of cookies and other sweets on display as well.

Ordered the Italian rum cake. Very good unlike a few years ago where the baker put way too much rum in the cream where it was inedible well, at least for me. But last week's cake was worth the 40 mile drive.

The administration should take care of its workers, they respond in a rude way, when, they should know that it is our customers who they owe, improve that and maybe my comment will improve.

Nice selection of Italian cookies, cakes, muffins, etc. If we had unlimited time, money, and stomach space, we would be there all the time!

The staff are pleasant and helpful.

A cappuccino or espresso, some pastries, and good company is a bit of life's joys.

There seems to be a non-stop flow of people picking up their choices. The pies and cakes look and taste great. The shopping complex's parking is tight and does fill up often. At least many people are not there to OK long, so spots open up quickly.

Dietary restrictions: Most Italian pastries contain nuts, almonds.

Parking: Shares parking lot with other stores like Safeway and restaurants. Spaces are limited.

We got the Mango Tres Leches cake for a gender reveal. They were kind enough to make it last minute on Thanksgiving. The cake was delicious and well balanced, not too sweet. More importantly they were mindful not to let out the surprise as we went to pick up the cake.
