46 Best Bakeries near Woodside

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

“I found this bakery when I was looking for a place to purchase alfajores and I was so happy to have found it! I was greeted as soon as I walked in and my first visit was nothing but a very nice experience. Two young men behind the counter seemed really friendly and helpful. The other customers in the store at the time seemed very happy. I came for alfajores today, but I will definitely go back for more alfajores and other goodies!“

“She is wonderful to work with. I have used her twice now. Once for a Mickey Mouse Twoodles cake and just recently for a baby shower. We got lemon for the cake and snickerdoodle for the cupcakes and when I tell you everyone loved them both. Her cakes are delicious and she does and amazing job with decorating them you send her a picture of what you want and she will not disappoint.“

“I’ve had a great experience every time I’ve eaten at Crumble, and I’ve been eating here frequently for about 2 years now. Hands down. The cookies are so good , the ones I’m trying for the first time or the regular cookies they have . They are always fresh. No matter if you get the big size cookie or want to go with their mini. I usually buy a dozen of the minis or a box or 6 because, come on now. There’s no way I can only actually eat one or 2. I think mini is the perfect size. . So i highly recommend you stopping by a crumble location or ordering it for delivery. So I give 5 stars for here and can’t wait to get my 10 points for writing my review on here because that means I’m 10 points extra on getting my free cookie from there ! 😃“

“Late December 2025 visit:
Dropped by on a Sunday morning when we visited the Cal Ave Sunday Farmer's Market. A bit hard to locate as the shop front didn't scream 'bakery' at us and we walked by at least 3 times looking for the address.

The young man helping us was very friendly and helpful in explaining the flavors to us!

We picked up 2 focaccia breads in black takeout boxes and ate them after a hike the next afternoon. Tasty but oily. Didn't find any truffle flavor but maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.

Fun memory made better by the staff and his opinions on the savory focaccia bread.
The shop had cake in jars and cookies available as well.

I'd be interested in trying the sourdough bread loaves next time!“

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

“This place doesn’t look like a place trying to impress anyone. It looks like a shop that has been doing one thing long enough to know what shortcuts ruin. The counter is small, the room unadorned, the kind of space where quality hides in plain sight because the people making it assume you’ll figure it out on your own.

Cannoli demand precision. If the shell softens, you failed. If the filling weeps, you rushed. If the ricotta is grainy or heavy or over-sugared, you didn’t understand its behavior under temperature and time. Romolo’s gets all of this right.

The shells are made the way people make things they intend to stand behind. Not brittle, not oily, not collapsing under pressure. They have that snap you only get when dough has been rolled to the correct thickness and fried at the right temperature, long enough to blister but not blister apart. You can tell someone here still listens to the sound of the shell when it cools.

The filling is clean, balanced, and confident. No perfumed overcompensation. No reckless sweetness meant to distract from inferior ricotta. This is filling made by people who understand ratio and restraint. The texture stays smooth because the ricotta was drained properly, not hurried. There’s discipline in that step alone. Most places skip it. Romolo’s doesn’t.

What impressed me most is how the cannoli hold structure on the way home. Ricotta interacts with pastry the way moisture interacts with almost anything that should remain crisp: it wants to weaken it. But Romolo’s fills to order, and they fill with judgment. Enough to satisfy, not enough to compromise the shell before you get to experience the contrast that makes cannoli worth eating in the first place.

The people behind the counter treat you the way good shops do. Direct, warm in a grounded way, the kind of friendliness that seems rooted in pride more than choreography. They hand over the box carefully, as if they know what they made can survive the trip but also know that respect is part of the craft.

This place doesn’t rely on nostalgia or theatrics. It relies on technique. On the quiet confidence of a place that has figured out what works and kept doing it. You taste repetition, patience, and the refusal to let a simple dessert become sloppy.

If you want a cannoli that proves why the thing exists at all, this is the place“

“This place is awesome and makes the best gluten free almond cookies --my favorite are the ones that are half dipped in dark chocolate. I am addicted to their biscotti and cannoli! I love to snack on many of my favorite biscotti varieties such as the dark chocolate dipped hazelnut, chocolate chip no nuts, orange dark chocolate dipped & the OMG LEMON WHITE chocolate is refreshing! They also have a unique pastry shaped like a clamshell & is super crispy flaky crunchy on the outside but baked with a savory sweet orange zest ricotta cheese filling inside. It's irresistable when its warmed up. Definitely worth a visit & a fantastic place to purchase year-round gifts & bring treats to the office. EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD!!!“

“My son and I are truly grateful for your kindness, Nicole. Thank you for taking the time to charge his phone, wait for a call to come through, and help arrange for us to reconnect with him. You didn’t have to do any of that, yet you did it with such care. The world needs more people with your spirit. Wishing you success and blessings in everything you pursue.“

“Cocola Bakery is next level! Every time I go, I am greeted with warmth and delicious drinks and baked goods. Today, I accidentally left an important bag next to one of the tables. Vanessa went above and beyond and tracked me down to return the object after I left the store. I was shocked by this level of dedication that you will only see at a neighborhood local establishment. Please go to this place to experience true customer service (and the food and drinks are great too!). Its a great place for a work meeting, lunch spot, or to redose your caffeine.“

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

“I LOVED all the treats we got in December! Cupcakes, scones, cookies, bars. Everything was so delicious. I can’t wait to try more next time. I also loved seeing all the business you got in the short time we were there. Clearly lots of loyal customers who love your baked goods.“

“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.“

“Yesterday I tried Uncle Tetsu inside Hillsdale Shopping Center for the first time and I really enjoyed it. There were so many flavors to choose from but I only got the coconut pandan Japanese cotton cheesecake and the ube cheese tart. They're selling the mini cheesecake - cheesetart combo for only $10, a pretty good deal!
Cotton cheesecake was super soft and fluffy, and the flavor leans more towards the coconut. I think pandan was only there for the color. Like you can see it but the flavor was really light, not super strong like I expected.
Ube cheese tart was also good but definitely on the sweeter side. Me and my friend shared one because it gets kinda sugary after a few bites (but it's still delicious, I highly recommend). The texture is nice, very creamy and buttery inside with a slightly crunchy crust.
Place was not busy, and staff was nice. I’d probably come back again when I'm craving desserts.“

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

“Anthentic recipes from Mom and Dad for the past 35 years. This is how original it gets.“

“My first time in Helpful and professional“

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

“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!“

“I was here yesterday for the umpteenth time over a span of a couple years at this point.

The donuts, croissants, and other sweets are great, and I enjoy their breakfast food as well. They do a solid breakfast wrap, breakfast bagels, and they have iced & hot coffee as well as bananas and other drinks.

I love this place! Hope they stay in business here in RWC for a long time.“

“We tried hokkaido sponge cake, crème brûlée, chestnut slice cake, tiramisu and chocolate mousse cake on various occasions. They all were delicious. The staff was also friendly. It’s hard to find parking due to the busy downtown location. The place gets crowded very quickly. Their egg tarts and buns are also popular.“

“Friendly staff good coffee and pastries 🥮“

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

“Amazing! She made the most beautiful cake for our daughter's 3rd birthday, the best centerpiece and ending to a magical party!“

“Delicious empanadas, and cold mate! The owner was super kind and she took her time showing me all the delicious treats they have. Fresh chimichurri too! The cold mate was a great taste too, not bitter and a little sweet. Taking a few boxes of empanadas to a bbq and sure they will love it as much as i do, so much variety. The steak one, and spinach ones were my favorites. Dont forget to finish off with an alfajor!“

“This place has been around for a long time! It’s really cool :) it’s not the same as being in the original Chinatown, the San Francisco Chinatown? But wait! I think the Amtrak train system exists because of the chinese train workers and the laborers“

“The chocolate cream cheese cake was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had!!! Simply amazing! I enjoyed the different textures and flavors that I got with each bite. I also tried the rose, raspberry, and pistachio cake which was light, refreshing, and delicious (and gluten-free), but with a different texture than the chocolate cake. Both cakes were so unique and delightful, but I especially love chocolate - and this particular chocolate cake was absolutely phenomenal!“

“(Translated by Google) Excellent bakery, where the best products are used to make a pleasant, good-tasting bread and where the expert hands of Mexican bakers and the best Oriental pastries are used!(Original)Bakery excelente , donde se emplean los mejores productos para elaborar un pan agradable, de buen sabor y donde se emplean las manos expertas de panaderos mexicanos y la mejor repostería Oriental !“

“Panaderia Michoacan 2 is more than just a bakery. In addition to their fresh and delicious Mexican bread and pastries, it also works as a well-stocked Mexican grocery store. You can find snacks, soft drinks, sauces, dried chiles, spices, candies, and many traditional ingredients all in one place.
The store is clean, organized, and spacious, the staff is friendly, and the prices are affordable.
A great place to buy fresh bread and do your Mexican grocery shopping at the same time. Highly recommended.“

“There was a cheesecake like pastry that was very nice that the lady behind the counter suggested. It made me think of Uncle Tetsu's but with a more flan like center. Five starts for thatThe vanilla roll was a bit dry and had gone hard on the bottom, but the lady did recommend going with the strawberry one (there were more of those and they looked fresher)There was a sugar covered croissant that was alright (and the lady in front of me got like six of them) but I'm used to the flakey buttery French kind and these are soft and more bread likeSo maybe ask and go with what they say is good ?“

“Robin came through for my 70th birthday! Delicious Macarons made just for me! Highly recommend her!!“

“yo comiendo con un servicio para este cliente por sus seguidores y un servicio“

“BethAnn did an excellent job for the cake for our daughter's wedding at Mountain Terrace in Woodside! The cake was in a naked cake style with lemon pucker up flavor. It was just the way the groom and bride requested it! BethAnn was easy to work with and accommodated their schedule for the tasting as they lived out of the state. We would recommend Studio Cake for your wedding!“

“If it weren’t a bit of a drive, I’d probably be here waaay too often. � The staff at SusieCakes was so friendly and welcoming — like, as soon as I walked in the door, they were all smiles.“

“Friendly staff. Parking right in front. I usually get a parking spot each time I visit. I love their Atoles ( corn flavor). We usually buy a lot of Champuradas and the long one coated with sugar. Prices are reasonable for all sorts of varieties of sweet bread.“

“I’ve been here multiple times, and every time I find myself wondering why I ever go anywhere else for coffee if C&W is simply the best. I’ve tried a variety of espresso-based drinks, and the Americano and latte are absolutely top-notch. The food is always fresh and tasty, which makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!“
