Beckmann's Old World Bakery

Cherry pie had pits, lucky I didn’t break a tooth. I’m not happy!!!

After sampling a number of pies from Northern California area bakeries, Beckmann's is the best. The fillings are great, especially the peach in the summer and pumpkin in the fall, but the crust...the crust!! All-butter and perfect flaky texture. The cookies are great, too.

Best ever place natural no chemicals. Please never change you guys !!!

One of the best bake shops is Santa Cruz! Keep up the excellent work! ?

Beckman just look at ingredient list tells the whole story thank you

This review is only for the Pecan Pie which is incredibly delicious. We bought the smaller one as we've never tried their Pecan Pie. We will definitely be buying the regular size soon. The Pecan Pie is a 2023 winner at the National Pie Championships! We've eaten several types of their pies in the past and they're all delicious. The Cherry Pie, Pumpkin Pie and The Berry Bomb were all 2023 winners in their divisions. You can order the pies online or at many Farmers Markets or some grocery stores. I would highly recommend giving them a try.

Just wonderful place, excellent bread, this is the only one I eat. They have many varieties of good, fresh ? breads.

Best bread ever! Especially their Asiago loaf ??? Their cookies etc

I really like their German Farm Bread. However, the bread starts molding the next day after the Best Before date, so there are only 2-3 days to enjoy it.

I have been purchasing your Asiago cheese sourdough bread for months now. It was so good that I would drive across town to Whole Foods every week and pick up 2 loaves. However, this past month or so I’ve noticed there is very little cheese on top of the loaves. Cutting costs is not always the best route. If this is the new trend I don’t think I will be driving across town to pay $8 plus to purchase basically plain sourdough bread.

The bread is good. I usually buy German one. Nice to see that bakery has now organic bread. The next step to sustainability would be to use paper bags instead of plastic. I stopped buying their bread because tired of all these plastic bags.

Burnt bread in Commissary again today!

Yes, the products are good, but the management like Beth, the CEO has super made a mistake to fire me, she is corrupt, and truth will prevail. Please ask about it, why was Florence fired?

I stopped by at the Saratoga farmers market today, cookies were gone before we got home, incredible. Also want to just give a shot out to the wonderful human that helped me at check out. I didn't catch the name but short blonde hair, great glasses and a green top, she was every bit fantastic as the cookies! I'm not sure if you were an owner or an employee but either way you should get a raise and you're doing great. Advocating for your small business when people try to test it is so admirable, because you know your products worth. I love to see it, and I love to support it!Great bread, great baked goods, great staff 10/10 will shop again and again.Pro tip, Safeway may carry their goods but they bake everything fresh for the farmers market, the quality is unmatched!
