50 Best Bakeries near Stanford

“Yummy empanadas and desserts.“

“Best place for pastries and bread in town. Nothing fancy, just great pastries.“

“Crumbl cookies are famously large and incredibly sweet. While many of their flavors are enticing, I'd love to see some less sweet options introduced to balance the richness.

Peanut Butter Crisp featuring Butterfinger (4.5/5): This cookie delivered on its promise with a great peanut butter flavor and a satisfying crunch from the Butterfinger pieces. A truly enjoyable fusion.

Cake Batter (4/5): This was less a cookie and more a mini cake! The confetti cookie base was delightful, and the cream cheese-like frosting added a nice touch, but it was exceptionally sweet.“

“Excellent bread, very kind service. Best sourdough and focaccia we’ve had in the South Bay. We used to buy our bread fresh weekly before moving to this area more than a year ago and we look forward to being able to do that again. We could not be happier that this place opened in our neighborhood and we hope it sticks around. We will be back!“

“I feel so lucky to have this bakery in the South Bay. It is INCREDIBLE to say the least.

Highly recommend the following:

- Tomatoes Cheese Sourdough Bread: You get the satisfaction of their sourdough but with a savory and sweet addition with the tomatoes and cheese. It blew my mind.

- Jar Cakes: I've tried their Mixed Berry, Ruby Chocolate, and Apple Pie (preference in this order). Mixed Berry is my favorite so far--light and fluffy with a gentle tang from the fruits. Ruby Chocolate was pleasantly surprising; not heavy or decadent at all. Apple Pie was good but I thought the apple chunks were too raw.

- Focaccia: I've only tried the Margherita variation but I doubt you can go wrong with any of them. The slices are HUGE and made from the sourdough bread so you get all the flavors.

- Cookies: My parents liked the oatmeal chocolate ones the best; not as sweet as the regular chocolate chip. The butter cookies are also very light and not sweet.

If you can't decide what to try, ask for a sample. They let you sample EVERYTHING; the quality of service is insane.

It's not really a sit down cafe (no chairs or tables). You pick up what you want and gtfo.“

“Best pié ever especially the caramel apple and the key lime also the chocolate and the pocket pies ( my personal favorite is the chicken pot pie ((not the one with bacon)) I give this pie place 5 stars!! Go early or you will find them sold out for the day!!“

“Food is absolutely amazing. The breakfast sandwich is to die for, and their Kouign-amann is the best I've ever had. The store is adorable and doesn't have hipsters on laptops camping out in it. Service is quick and very kind. Best bakery I've ever been to.“

“My boss always bought Romolo's for office parties, and the cannolis are always so good. So when my husband and I were planning an Italian feast for our wedding, Romolo's came to mind immediately. Over the course of a few months we came in to try different cookies and cannolis. The place is super cute and the staff is so nice.

Erin, one of the owners, was so helpful and we ended up doing a mix of cannolis and cookies. We ordered 50 cannolis and a few dozen cookies for 35 guests. There were maybe 5 cannolis left which one guest took home for their family.

Our families are Italian from NY and most of them said it was the best cannoli they've had outside of NY. (They can't say it's better than a NY cannoli - that would be treason.)

Thank you Erin and team. You really helped our day feel that much more special.“

“Hands down, the best biscotti I’ve ever had! You will not be disappointed. La Biscotteria has the most amazing flavours of biscotti both with and without chocolate. They also sell delicious cannolis and panetone. It’s an authentic Italian bakery made by the most lovely family. The scent of the bakery alone will have you walking out with biscotti in no time!“

“My son like the almond croissant. tried the plain donut..it's really delicious. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“This is my 5th time getting eggless cakes from them even though I live in Fremont. Always fresh, moist, perfectly sweet and neatly decorated. A small surprise for my kid was this Mango cake and it made his day! Loved all the flavors, butterscotch, black forest, mango etc. Also a fan of their Paninis, a nostalgia from Indian Street foods!“

“Breakfast bar, Dark chocolate cherry cookies and the breads. We’ve tried a few things and loved them all!“

“I am visiting from out of town and stumbled upon this bakery. I purchased the fresh strawberry tres leches. Oh my goodness. It was one of the best desserts I’ve had in a long time! So so delicious. Highly recommend!“

“CASH ONLY SERVICE! Classic Hong Kong bakery with all of the classic baked goods made by the owner who has been here for MANY years. The lemon cake is moist and tasty! Almond cookies have that familiar flavor and crunch. The red bean sesame balls are my favorite!“

“I ordered an eggless and sugar-substituted birthday cake for my mom and was trying this place for the first time. It was a very pleasant experience right from placing an order to pick up. I was able to customise the cake to be eggless, sugar-free and less creamy. The cake was very tasty, soft and just as desired!

Dietary restrictions: Eggless & sugar-free cake options available“

“My goto French cafe with delicious French bakery, Freshly pressed OJ’s, and excellent coffees.“

“This place is fantastic for having coffee with bread the only thing I didn't like was that they didn't let me go into the bathroom the bad thing is that I had already been driving for 3 hours because I'm not from that place and well that service is very bad I bought the bread the chocolate and left Let's find a place to go to the bathroom next time, give the people a chance. You don't know where it's from, since in that city a lot of people come from far away to work.“

“Did a last minute order of Panipopo trays for my sons Culture Day at school. And Juanita and her husband came through for me. They were so nice when I had placed my order over the phone and told me to just pay when I pick up my order. They didn't even care for me to pay first before they do my order. They were willing to wake up early the nxt day so I can pick up my order at 11am. Good people. The panipopo was bomb. My son's teacher and aides loved the panipopo. They killed it. All gone. They said nothing but good news on how delicious it was for their first time tasting panipopo. I would order again.“

“I think the cream of the cake is not too sweet, has just the right texture and is very delicious. The cake design is simple and cute, and the fruit is very fresh, adding a refreshing taste to the whole thing. However, the sponge cake body is a bit dry, which affects the moistness of the taste. It would be better if it could be softer and more tender. ?“

“Amazing! I ordered the best turkey and brie sandwich. The baguette was toasted and the brie was nearly melted. So good for my first time stopping by this location. By the way, this is their headquarters, so it's cool:) and they have a cozy dining area too!!“

“Einfach top. Immer wieder ein Besuch wert.👍“

“todo esta delicioso, le recomiendo los tamales y las tortas y el pan fresco y echo todos los dias😁“

“Shekoh is an amazing chef, anything she touches tastes like heaven. Can hardly wait until she opens her online shop.“

“Cozy little hidden place in San Mateo. A bakery, coffee shop and specialized on cakes. They do offer some Filipino delicacies.“

“My go-to bagel place. Frequently busy, but for good reason, the food is excellent and tasty. My favorites include the California Club sandwich on Dutch Crunch and the Eggwich with Turkey and Swiss. However, it is very difficult to go wrong as you have a great selection of delicious freshly-baked bagels and rolls.

The staff are wonderful and always take care to get the best food possible to customers. Only slight drawback is that the interior can get crowded, so worth keeping in mind if you want to eat at the restaurant (though there are two tables outside as well).“

“THE BEST cheesecake you will ever have! 5 stars“

“Delicious!!!! Small store front on exterior ground floor of an apartment complex. Macarons are $5, the Dubai chocolate macarons are $6. I preordered a dozen the day prior and were available for pickup as requested. A big hit at my son's birthday party.“

“Oh, wow, YUM! The cheesecake might as well be from Tokyo. It has the standard light, fluffy consistency with a touch of sweetness that just melts in your mouth.

The tart…ohhhhoho! Loved it. The buttery crust crumbles and made me pick up every crumb with my sloppy fingertip. Don’t waste a crumb! It was just really, really good. Perfect with a coffee or one of their teas.

I had a tea with the cheese foam. At the last drip, I was licking the lid. No shame. Thank God for inconspicuous outdoor seating.

Save yourself a trip to Japan when you want some Japanese desserts. Uncle Tetsu can meet your craving! It is a steal compared to a flight on Zipair! 😂“

“Sara’s cookies are amazing!!! Yum Yum Yum“

“Love love love these cookies! This location isn’t a storefront so be sure to follow them on instagram @batch22bakery!

The love of my life is cookies and cream, and other great flavors are chocolate pb, earl grey, and strawberries and cream!

They make great gifts and I just gifted my friend with over $40 worth of cookies…. ?“

“Friendly staff good coffee and pastries 🥮“

“A good place to have some Guatemalan food, ,,,fast service and clean“

“Friendly staff good coffee and pastries 🥮“

“This place is very affordable and the food is delicious. We always like to come here with our friends and sometimes we have to be quick otherwise all tables are full! What I would improve, and I've been thinking about this every time I come here, is definitely the ACOUSTICS! Every time the sound is very lous and you can barely hear the next person talking! Especially when it's full. I would recommend some wall acoustic panels for the TV wall. There are nowadays very modern and affordable solutions for acoustic paneling.“

“Most donut shops. I go to are a little bit messy and unorganized. This one is a completely opposite, very nice atmosphere. Super clean organized. They have freshly squeezed orange juice, baked goods, breakfast sandwiches, Energy drinks. Both ladies were amazing, super friendly professional, highly recommend this place.
To add I've never seen Lotto in Donutshop🤑“

“I am always looking for a good empanada place, especially Argentinian empanadas just my luck I found this place while walking on Main Street.

I was surprised at the selection--there were a lot of savory ones to choose and less of the sweet ones, considering my visit was late in the day. I chose the traditional beef and spicy chicken to take home. These easily reheated in the convection oven nicely and the crust was crisp. I noticed that at the crust edge are letters to indicate what kind of empanada you ordered. The beef was savory and delicious, it was perfectly moist, as was the chicken. The chicken was a little bit spicy, but not intolerable, unless you cannot eat spicy at all, then I would stay away from the spicy chicken.

Definitely worth checking out--the empanadas are delicious.“

“I highly recommend this donut basket for everyone that need a jump start. Great wonderful service friendly people always asking about your day. Makes me feel like home. Amazing coffee delicious donuts with a lot of goodness.

Ps Jordy write this. I been coming here for the last 3 years. N trust me when I tell u they have the best donuts in Mountain View. I drive all the way out here from San Jose. Just for the donuts and the bomb ass coffee.“

“Woodside Bakery prepared the most beautiful and delicious fruit pies for our August wedding. We are from out of town, and Jan and her team did a fantastic job organizing with us from afar. We are so grateful for their contribution to our special day! Highly recommend.“

“It was very nice. Food was great and atmosphere wonderful!“

“Yesterday I purchased the guava coffee cake and tiramisu from The Kibler Elf at the Italian Festival in San Jose. Delicious!!! I can't wait to have more of their products. Yum yum yum yum yum!“

“Ada’s is the best place for delicious food, friendly service and a real sense of community. On top of all that, it believes everyone can have meaningful employment and trains and offers wonderful work under the kind and generous care of founder Kathleen. It’s a community GEM!!“

“A nice selection of baked goodies that are tasty at any time of day or night.“

“I've bought all of my family birthday cakes from this location for the last several years. I love this location. They always get my order right, fresh every time, very clean environment. I've never had a bad experience and I've been here dozens of times.“

“Established local chain that serves yummy pastry items and cake plus authentic Hong Kong milk tea in a no frill setting. To go only. Always always visit to grab yummy treats, quick breakfast that can be washed down nicely with HK style milk tea at excellent pricing. A must for me 😎. And do not forget to try the mini meat pies that are also excellent👍“

“All items are very yummy & staff are really nice…“

“Absolutely the best sourdough bread I’ve ever eaten!“
