33 Best Bakeries near Stinson Beach

“One of the best Fish and Chips meal ever eaten. Delicious Mint Oreo shakes, too. Busy but understandable for a beautiful afternoon and lunch time, at a place which offers such good food! Right off the beach parking lot with park and seating area, and steps away from the beach itself, Parkside Cafe is a place I fully recommend. Extensive menu helped all in my group feel happy ordering from here. Apparently popular with the local population, too. Fast and professional service. Great beach atmosphere.“

“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🥰!“

“The last time I had babka was in Miami few years ago at a renowned bakery called Zak the baker. Ever since then I get really excited about babka when I go to a baker but nothing has lived up to the hype till I tried this one at Braid.
I was really skeptical about trying the new baker with no storefront but it lived up to the hype. The freshly babka tasted amazing with gooey chocolate and hazelnuts in the cake. Definitely recommend if you're willing to pre order and wait for a couple of days which isn't convenient.“

“My daughter had to pee. lol We were on our way to Muir Woods when I saw this donut shop. I ordered some donuts as we waited for the fam to go to the restroom. The young man behind the counter was kind and helpful. The donuts were sooooo good. They were fresh. The quality was exceptional. They are a more artisan version of Lamar’s. They have more variety of donuts than many shops. They even had gluten free and vegan choices. We had regular cake and risen donuts. . I lament that Bob’s isn’t found in our state. We will be returning to this area and we will be back to Bob’s. So happy that my daughter had to pee. 😂“

“I visited MV Baking Company after seeing great reviews and being in the area. The display featured a variety of tempting baked goods. I particularly enjoyed the lemon kouign amann, beignets filled with raspberry jam, cinnamon roll, pear croissant, and spinach and cheese croissant. I plan to try more items on my next visit. Although it's a small place, the quality of the baked goods reflects the baker's passion. If you intend to visit, it's best to go early; I arrived at 10 am on a Saturday and found many items are almost sold out.“

“Making chicken salad sandwiches with the best bead 🥖“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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).“

“I just discovered Lucky Penny and have already ordered twice in a row! The focaccia, chocolate chip cookies, and cinnamon rolls are amazing. Ordering for pickup is super convenient and the owner was really accommodating for a relatively last minute special order I put in. Highly recommend - I will be coming here again and again!“

“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 :)“

“They deliver amazing quiches!“

“Kristine is the absolute best!! She makes the best cake pops and desserts. Everything she makes is true art, and always tastes as good as it looks. You can count on blowing away your guests with the next party with a display of her amazing treats! I’ve used her for years, and will continue for years to come. I would recommend her over and over again!!“

“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!“

“Love the place.“

“I come here sometimes it’s very good histories and overrated for because it’s very good but also located and a very good place and mostly I will give it a fly but today I’ll give it a floor because the varieties of pastries you could choose from there are not a lot“

“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!“

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

“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.“
