33 Best Bakeries near Stinson Beach

“I spent the day in Stinson while my daughter and her friend hit the beach to enjoy the sun. I decided to stop and have lunch at the Parkside Cafe where I normally get pastries while visiting. But I decided to treat myself to the seafood risotto. Good choice! It was delicious! Also the strawberry lemonade spritzer is a very tasty and refreshing beverage. If you get lucky on a sunny day, sitting outside and enjoying your food is a wonderful experience.“

“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.“

“Making chicken salad sandwiches with the best bead 🥖“

“Ordered a seeded levain bread to go, a lemon scone and the blueberry maple syrup muffin. Perfectly ready early and was notified which was great. The muffin and scone were excellent…tasty! The bread, which is a tad pricey (12.50) was overdone on the bottom so unfortunately the overpowering taste was burnt. Decided to salvage the excellent bread by cutting off the burned bottom! I have not experienced this at other fine, artisan bakeries in the area. May have to try the epi!“

“San Francisco Historical Landmark, all the locals and neighbors will tell you, or show you, because there is a line out the door at various hours of the day, especially for the buttermilk and giant donuts. Breathtaking experience of culinary delight.“

“Baked Blooms absolutely came through for me last minute! I needed three boxes of cupcake bouquets for a Sweet 15, and they were able to help me on very short notice. I called the day before just to see if there was any way they could make it happen, and Sarah was so kind and accommodating. She went out of her way to set everything aside for me and made the whole process stress free.

The cupcake bouquets were beautiful and such a hit at the party. You can really tell they care about their customers and put love into what they do. I’m so grateful for their help and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for both amazing treats and excellent customer service!“

“Red Hill Cake & Pastry in San Anselmo is a rare gem. I’ve tried a variety of their little quick foods and pastries, and every item has been exceptionally fresh, thoughtfully crafted, and full of flavor. The quality of the ingredients is evident in every bite — clean, balanced, and never overly sweet. What truly sets Red Hill apart is the harmony between elevated pastry craftsmanship and approachable pricing. It carries the charm of a European-style patisserie with a subtle New York bodega sensibility. A standout destination in Marin/Sonoma County for anyone who appreciates high-quality desserts done right.“

“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“

“Bread & Butter is another gem in downtown San Anselmo. The chipotle turkey sandwich is absolutely to die for—packed with amazing flavor and made perfectly every time. The pickled vegetables are one of my favorite parts and add such a fresh, unique touch. The service is always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Definitely a spot worth stopping at if you’re in town.“

“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!“

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

“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!!“

“Nicest staff I have experienced in a while! I ordered a cake online for pick up and I was running late, ETA after closing time. I called them, and they, very graciously, offered to wait for me to hand me the cake after closing time! lovely experience, my daughter's birthday dinner celebration was complete with a delicious Red Velvet Bundt Cake!“

“A variety of delights similar to Ferry Building but do have limitations on availability due to lower supply on Macaroons. A smaller store makes for tight spot if more that 2-3 people but good for pick up to go will swing by if in area and hope they have the flavor of Macaroons I look for“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Rustic Bakery gets pretty busy during farmer's market days. Luckily we found seats outside by the bike rack. It is the type of restaurant where you order at the counter and they give you a number to put on your table. We ordered a couple of sandwiches, a Caesar salad and some pastries. Everything tasted OK. Nothing stood out as extraordinary.“

“The European specialities are the best!“

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

“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.“

“This is a charming cafe with a sweet outdoor patio! What a hidden gem! The baked goods are amazing and homemade by Armida! They do homemade sandwiches to order, have savory and sweet baked goods! Try the bacon/egg/maple syrup bun or the veggie pocket! There is ample indoor space to sit and sip. There are also books and puzzles for bringing your child, and with the outdoor space, an ideal child friendly cafe for a bite to eat.
What a great neighborhood gem!!“

“Food was good. Onion soup- I gotta say was delicious. Flavorful broth, chunky onions with a piece of bread/cheese broiled on top. Ordered steak frites. Steak was cooked perfectly. Frites were under seasoned and didn't have the herbs as described. Hericot green beans were also cooked perfectly. Apple crisp dessert was delicious, not too sweet. Stephanie (Manager) was super friendly. The only thing they can work on is their service. We were seated and waited for about 10 min before our orders were taken, while a couple seated after us were attended too almost immediately. Another couple was told it would be about 10 min before a table opened up, a couple came in and were seated at the open table meant for the previous couple. 🤦‍♂️“
