36 Best Bakeries near Stinson Beach

“This is a wonderful spot for a bite on a beach day. Good menu, and wines by the glass. Outdoor seating is very popular so may be a wait especially at weekends. Next door is a popular ice cream stall and burgers if you can’t wait for a table.“

“The best babka I've ever had. Incredible texture, chocolate quality, and baking skills on presentation here. I would go so far to say this babka is an achievement on the levels of the great SF bakeries (Tartine, Jane, b. patisserie). As an at home chef, I know how hard making things to scale can be and I commend the owner for scaling something this special.

Had a picnic with the babka pie, cake, and rolls. Cardamom, chocolate and hazelnut, and pumpkin. My personal favorite was the chocolate but everyone in my group had a different favorite. You can't go wrong at this wonderful bakery!“

“Making chicken salad sandwiches with the best bead 🥖“

“After nearly 3 years of telling myself, “One day I’ll finally try a donut from Bob’s Donuts,” that day finally came—and it was worth the wait!

I’ve always been a loyal customer to my local donut shop in San Rafael, but today I had the chance to stop by Bob’s Donuts in Mill Valley, and I’m so glad I did. As I met Ryan Murphy, a young high school student who works there and truly represents the shop with excitement and positivity. His energy was refreshing, and he took the time to ask what kind of donuts I usually go for. After I told him that chocolate is my go-to, he highly recommended I try theirs—and I’m glad I listened.

The chocolate donut was impressive—great texture, rich flavor, and clearly made with care. Bob’s Donuts has a delicious recipe that sets them apart. They’re definitely more than just another donut shop—they’re a local gem at 252 Almonte Blvd, Mill Valley, CA 94941.

Big thanks to Ryan and the Bob’s Donuts team for a truly tasty treat. I’ll definitely be back!“

“You can feel the love and care the team puts into everything they make, and they’re so welcoming every time. The breakfast sandwiches are amazing, the almond croissant is perfectly flaky, and the donuts are a delight. Honestly, everything we tried was just perfect“

“These cupcakes were just as delicious as they were beautiful! I’ll admit, I was a little worried they might be too sweet with all that frosting, but I was completely blown away. The sweetness was perfectly balanced, and the cake was incredibly fluffy and moist. I served them at a broker’s tour and received so many compliments from the agents. They were a total hit! I’ll definitely be ordering from Baked Blooms again, highly recommend if you want a true showstopper!“

“Amazing bread and croissants! Also love the brown butter chocolate chip cookies. A must have stop at the Farmer's market Thurs in San Rafael. Cannot wait until he has his own brick and mortar store. xo“

“This place is the best and I hope they never close! I grew up in the area but now live out of the country and my family has relocated to the east bay but I still make the 60 min drive all the way to Jelly Donut whenever I come to visit them. The owners are super friendly and generous, often throwing in an extra freebie too. We've tried 4 other donut shops in the east bay and none are even close to as good as these. Long live Jelly Donut!“

“The best cappuccino in Marin hands down! Been going there for years -- the service has been consistently excellent and the pastries and cakes are quintessential Italian delicacies! Gary and Jeannie Rulli are the dedicated hands-on proprietors -- wonderful people and a blessing to our Larkspur community🥰!“

“Emilee made an amazing cake for my wedding. She was quick to respond, adaptable to what I wanted and edits, and had flexible pick up. Everyone loved the cake (almond cake with cherry compote).“

“For years I've been coming here for the old fashion chicken pot pies, made fresh daily. I buy a bunch & freeze them - so delish! I also love the cupcakes that are like the ones I grew up eating back east. No fancy sugary stuff inside, just cake + frosting. Excellent prices here as well...unlike the rest of Marin.“

“I get dozens of bagels from New York Bagels in Strawberry Village every Saturday with my kids; it’s become our weekend ritual. The bagels are fresh, chewy, and come in tons of flavors. We love the friendly, speedy service and the option to buy by the dozen. A top spot for bagel lovers in the area!“

“delicious rustic breads, sweet and savory pastries, and fun chatting with folks in line (perfect weather didn't hurt either!)“

“I never knew focaccia bread could taste this good. And the malted rye brownies, oh my, so heavenly. How lucky to have this gem in Terra Linda. The instructions for how to place an order on the website work perfectly and pickup is very easy.“

“Huge shout out to Juice GIrl for supporting me last week during my spring cleanse. thank you for your high quality products and attention to detail !!! good jobbers!“

“They deliver amazing quiches!“

“Love everything on the menu! You can’t go wrong with it!!“

“We recently went here after not going for a while and the food is just incredible. There was a time after they switched owners a few years back where things were a little bit rocky, but we recently went and it was incredible. Get the deviled egg sandwich. Highly recommended.“

“Love everything on the menu! You can’t go wrong with it!!“

“Easy in and out, plenty of parking and baskets, friendly staff - always helpful.“

“Every single person, from the staff to the owners, are so extremely friendly and personable. They make it known that you’re a valued customer and treated as such! Their cakes are delicious, always a good price and love their discount when you buy a goodie bag! Highly recommend this place for any work occasion, birthday or just because :)“

“The European specialities are the best!“

“Lovely small old style cafe — with the exception of their lemon bars, which sadly taste like custard bars with only a hint of lemon🙁 — I highly recommend the pastries as well as the espresso drinks. Some pastry servings are big enough for two! Love it!“

“The best cappuccino in Marin hands down! Been going there for years -- the service has been consistently excellent and the pastries and cakes are quintessential Italian delicacies!

“Between my wife and me we ate four of the turkey baguettes and a mocha. The sandwiches were tasty and a cut above deli fare but certainly didn't justify a $10 price for each sandwich. A quaint place but don't bring your appetite.“

“Lors de notre séjour à San Francisco nous avons découvert Le Marais Bakery. Nous avons ADORÉ, la nourriture est délicieuse et le service vraiment très chaleureux et très professionnel. L’équipe est souriante et au petit soin. N’hésitez pas à vous arrêter pour déguster les délicieuses viennoiseries et/ou les autres plats proposés, vous ne serez pas déçu(e)s!!“

“A very nice and pleasant place for a Sunday morning. Busy but relaxed. The bakery had an amazing number of choices and their Croissant was just perfect (just enough crisp, butter, and fluffy). The coffee likewise is very fresh and tasty. Highly recommend it for a moment of relaxation in your busy day.“

“This is the only cake that I want for my birthday. Every year. Celebration cake. It is worth the hour drive.“

“Great place to shop for food“

“Spent $32 for a cherry scone, bacon breakfast burrito, and a drip coffee. That being said, it was like if my mom was making me breakfast before school but so much tastier. Very delicious, great scone, drinkable coffee, would recommend other than it being expensive. But hey, what isn’t these days.

(Okay the burrito was probably the smallest breakfast burrito I’ve ever purchased, and it was $16, but it tasted good)

Okay I gotta say it again, the scone was fantastic and had the perfect amount of sugar and was perfectly moist and crumbly and delicious. Soooo goood, but sooooo $8 ☹️

Vegetarian options: Good amount of vegetarian as breakfast can be subbed avocado for protein easily but not many other vegetarian options. My friend had a vegetarian breakfast burrito and left satisfied.

Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options, also tended to be on the milder amount of sugar used which I prefer

Kid-friendliness: Great atmosphere and very homey vibes. It is an adult professional atmosphere because this is SF but very friendly and comfortable.“

“I cannot tell you how much I love this new French restaurant! It is like having a bit of Paris in Marin. The food is amazing - the best croissants outside France. The salads and crepes are divine. The service is excellent, especially Stella!! I am so happy we have this new restaurant!!“

“The store is on a level surface. You can see Red. Hill from there , where we four wheel drive to the top. It's next to Thirfty Drug Store.“

“Mi lugar favorito, Recomendado😋“
