31 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.“

“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“

“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!“

“I was rather upset when I moved into Marin County because my favorite bread place was Raymond's in South San Francisco. Then one day at Safeway I decided to try a Bordenave's extra sour baguette. I am in Seventh Heaven. I'm hooked onto these beautifully tasting baguettes. One day I'll make it to their bakery in San Rafael.“

“Warning: Do not go near this place if you are trying to diet and lose weight! The vortex of deliciousness will grab hold of you and you will be forced to enjoy the most wonderful donuts you have ever tasted.

Parking: Easy access and plenty of parking.“

“My second time ordering from Sarah and the amazing design options you see online are 100% realized. In addition, Sarah is cooperative & communicative in trying to meet order requests. The cupcakes are even more gorgeous than the eye-catching photos. I have no hesitation in ordering again and making Baked Blooms a first choice for future events.“

“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!“

“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“

“The coffee I had was very good. The food looks delicious. Everything is nicely displayed. It reminds me of France but I think the food here is Italian. You can order cakes online or sit at the Café and do your work or study. Very nice area.“

“Family stopped in while passing through. They were pretty crowded for 10:30am on a Friday, but service was fast. They have about 12+ flavors of bagels and about the same number of cream cheeses (also available low fat which is nice). They also have sandwich options, several serve yourself coffee options and bottled juices. I had a cheddar -jalapeño bagel with lox spread and it was the best bagel I've had in quite some time (including a recent trip to NYC). It's a tiny place, but I highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Best GF bakery!!! Amazing!!!“

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

“They deliver amazing quiches!“

“A must go to place. We went because of the chicken pot pies that are famous everywhere within 50 miles of here. We arrived at 10:20 and was told the pies are in the oven come back at 11. No problem for us. We bought two hot chicken pot pies, one bbq beef pie, one lemon bar and a shortbread cookie. Got to our car and ate the cookie. Went right back to the bakery and bought four more. The chicken pot pie was wonderful. Delicious crust, perfect sauce, high quality chicken and lots of peas, carrots and potatoes. The pork pie was perfect as well. Go here and try for yourself. Very reasonable prices and the people are wonderful. Yummy yummy.“

“Great shortbread and sugar cookies. Perfect consistency. Flavors are just right and not overly sweet. I have been buying these cookies for the last couple of years when they show up at Lucinda’s burrito shop in the dessert section. Beautifully decorated and they are really delicious.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Best GF bakery!!! Amazing!!!“

“I’ve been coming here for years because they have one of the very best ham and cheese croissants in Marin county and also an excellent mocha that is not too sweet. But today I tried the California Benedict for the first time and was amazed. Not only does it taste great but the presentation is gorgeous And for $16.50 it’s a pretty good deal.“

“We ordered St. Honor, that is by far the best birthday cake we've had. It is very creamy, soft, smooth and fragile. Cream puff is too heavy for a soft sponge. The filling was probably too heavy. All in all, a very tasty cream cake. A bit pricey for the size.“

“I had the pleasure of tasting an excellent coffee at Mill Valley, a real treat for the taste buds! The taste was perfectly balanced, with subtle aromas and a nice texture. In addition to this taste experience, I was enchanted by the warm welcome from the servant, who knew how to make this moment even more pleasant. A place that I highly recommend for an unforgettable coffee break!“

“We stood masked in line at few moments after 11:00am on the Friday before Memorial Day, waiting to place our order. Most of the outdoor tables were occupied so we headed to an indoor table with our order number sign. We had each ordered the ham and Brie baguette and 1 Coke and 1 lemonade. We ordered the baguettes to be heated. They were delivered to us at the table and were larger than we expected but they were warm, gooey, and delicious. We almost felt like we were in Europe and happy to be - tho it would have been more pleasant if we hadn't had to wear masks. No problem there, just the thought that we would like to get back to the old "normal!"“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“
