Kandoo Cafe & Custom Cakes

Amazing experience. The woman who was up front gave us excellent service. Was more interested in the Persian style of food, as this is what they specialize in. She brought me to each type of sweet that is eaten there. All of it was delicious and the coffee was great.

Prices are ridiculous. Last time i got one pound of zoolbia bamieh for $27 a pound. I got the same pastry from los Angeles for $10 a pound .

Hands down the best persian bakery in the bag area.

Get the cream puffs and if you have the time a pot of tea

I really love many of the pastries and cookies here, but I was surprised to spend $43 on just a small box of some bamieh and zabon. I got the smallest box they have, and I should’ve asked the cost beforehand I suppose, because I felt a little ripped off when I left.

I like the Turkish coffee. Dessert is okay.

Pathetic service!!

I'm usually one to find the silver lining, but my recent visit to Kandoo Bakery left me utterly baffled and frankly, insulted. On a long weekend Sunday afternoon, when you'd expect a bustling cafe, Kandoo was a ghost town. Seriously, just one other customer besides us. Great, I thought, quick service! Oh, how wrong I was.
The sole hostess, bless her heart, was engaged in what appeared to be an endless, rambling conversation with that single customer. For 15 to 20 agonizing minutes, we stood there, patiently waiting to simply be acknowledged. It wasn't like she was slammed; she literally had one person to deal with. We tried to catch her eye, subtle shifts, polite coughs – nothing. It was as if we were invisible. The conversation meandered on, utterly oblivious to our presence, our growing frustration, and the sheer audacity of being ignored for so long in an empty establishment.
We eventually had to walk out, not because we didn't want anything, but because the blatant disregard for our time and the complete lack of basic customer service felt like a personal affront. It was humiliating. Kandoo Bakery, you managed to turn a simple desire for baked goods into a masterclass in how not to run a business.

This is, by far, the best Persian bakery in the Bay Area. While I don't usually have much of a sweet tooth, I simply can't resist their pastries. The owner is also incredibly kind and helpful!

I once visited late in the afternoon, near their closing time, hoping to find a birthday cake without having preordered. Unfortunately, they were all out. Seeing my disappointment, the owner kindly offered to make a custom cake for me on the spot. Just half an hour later, I walked out with what was probably the most delicious cake I've ever tasted, and at a very reasonable price!

Don't miss out. You won't regret it!

My wife and I visited the kandoo bakery on Saturday and purchased 6 persian yazdi cup cake we were charged a shocking price of $30 for cup cakes so small cup cakes almost $5 a piece. But what made us even more surprised than the price was when we got home and tried them they were dry old very old the cake mix was two color and we couldn't even eat the I was so angry I just tossed them all in the garbage. I have not only called the store Iand left a massage I have also left a note on their web page but no one have responded to me regarding this issue to 1st explain the price then the bad and old dry cup cakes we got for refund or credit. I don't recommend this bakery any more to anyone the price is outrageous too expensive overpriced taking advantage of the location and the look and the fancy boxes but the quality doesn't speak the pricing. We use to drive from san Francisco here but things have changed and quality has gone down then the price have gone up. No more this is our last time but in do want the refund to get posted in my account or I will just dispute the charge from my credit card.

Cream puffs are delicious! Definitely try them.

Very good desserts, best in town probably, and a very good place to study.

Delicious dessert and excellent service

A Persian bakery cafe having an expansive menu of sweet and savory snacks showcasing the unique use of saffron, rosewater, nuts and aromatic spices. They offer items like Baklava, Sohan, Zoolbia, Gaz and more. A place where taste meets creativity- highly recommended. Actually, a hidden gem that deserves the spotlight.

Very helpful with my questions about the options! Many were a bit too sweet for me but it was a great experience! I liked the one with drizzled honey with saffron in it.
