Bakery Street

I work in one of the deadest, saddest, most boring areas of the city, where there is a 99% dearth of walkable food or snack options (with the exception of La Piñata right around the corner and down the block and the taco truck across the street). Having made the mistake of not taking the Friday before Labor Day off, I was sitting in our nearly-empty office craving some kind of snack. It's about a half-hour walk to the restaurants at the Marina Outlets, but while I was zooming in on the map on my laptop trying to figure out if I had it in me to make the walk over there mid-afternoon on a Friday, I noticed a marker on the map for something I'd never heard of before: Bakery Street."What's that?" I wondered aloud, clicking on it. Turns out it's a wholesale bakery that's a much closer walk from the office (about half the time), one that charges next to nothing for their baked goods. That could either be a good thing or a warning that your money's better spent elsewhere, but I took the plunge, grabbed my jacket, and creeped out as though anyone else without the foresight or PTO to take today off cared that I was leaving.It's not a bad walk on a nice day. San Leandro's industrial area has the benefit of being totally silent in many areas and actually pretty clean and manicured, which makes for a peaceful experience once you're off the main thoroughfares. On the flip side, some unsavory sorts have started setting up camp in pockets of the area on the way to the bakery, so stay sharp if you're on foot.Aside from Google Maps squawking directions at me, I knew I'd arrived as soon as I started smelling sweet fruit in the air. It was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised by the koi fish painted on the ground outside the entrance, which are also on the walls inside the bakery. Bakery Street has a Hawaiian/island theme going on inside and is generally just pleasant to be in -- until you have to interact with the staff behind the counter, which I'll get to in a minute.I was blown away by how cheap everything was. As a Bay Area native who's been ripped off my whole life just by living here, I was skeptical. What was the catch? Do the pastries suck? Are they close to expiring? At $1.50 for most of what I was seeing, I was willing to experiment with a handful of things to find out, so I swooped on the last jalapeño cream cheese croissant before the guy who walked in after me could grab it, along with their guava, pineapple, and apricot croissants (one of each flavor) and a mini banana walnut loaf. Grand total of seven bucks even. (Note: bring cash unless you're spending at least $10 with your debit card or $15 with your credit card.)At 3:00 on a Friday before a long weekend, there was still a *lot* of stuff to choose from. Plenty of cookies and four packs of bundt cakes, but also a lot of pastries. I can tell there'd likely be way more to choose from earlier in the day, so I'd like to try to get here earlier sometime very soon.When I walked in, no employees were anywhere to be found either on the floor or behind the counter. This didn't bother me. But when I rang the bell on the counter once I was ready to pay, an annoyed, terse voice *immediately* called from the bowels of the office behind the counter, "I'll be right there." Like, uh, sorry, you guys are the ones who put the bell here because clearly you make a habit of disappearing and leaving people wondering where you are. Don't blame customers for ringing the bell you provide for us to ring.A lady walked up looking a little harried and ready for her weekend to start. She was totally unwelcoming beyond a short "hello" and quickly chirped my total like she had somewhere better to be. She was only slightly nicer when she said thanks and told me to have a good weekend, but friendliness isn't her specialty (and given the many other reviews mentioning this, it seems it isn't the rest of the staff's, either).Come here for the elusive "good stuff that's cheap" finds that are far and few between anywhere these days but especially around here. Abandon any expectations of dealing with welcoming staff and just enjoy perusing and being left to your own devices.

Came here on a Monday morning a bit before 10:00am. The store was clean, service good, and the prices were great. Now it's time to taste!

Still cheap and great bakery treats . Love the almond butter crisps the raspberry crumble bar, the churro Bundt cake all of the mini cakes. They sell whole cakes as well

Bakery Street. Could the name be more generic, and yet belie the brilliance of creating one of the best cookies I have ever tasted? Yes, I realise they are a bakery, which obviously makes a whole passel of baked goods (that I have not tried). But today, I am compelled to express my ode to Bakery Street's gourmet Triple Ginger cookie.This 3.5-inch circular piece of joy one can indulge in. Soft-ish dense but not spongey. Not at all pungent of ginger, just the right essence of it. And when zapped for a few seconds, the cookie is exactly like fresh from the oven -- that other, conventional oven, normally used for baking. Not much else to say except I am an unabashed fan of the triple ginger cookie. Maybe Trader Joe's makes a similar product? But I think I like Bakery Street's better.I got these as a gift, but if this bakery were on my street, I would be in a whole lot of trouble. Thankfully, it's nowhere near. Keep on bakin' on, Bakery Street, you make the most splendid chewy ginger cookies in my universe.

Cute little store that sells baked goods Store is well organized, clean and stocked up They sell croissants, cookies, Bundt cakes Keto items And more Parking is easy Customer service is friendly Prices are very reasonable They are only open M-F 8-5 am

I've been wanting to come here for a while now but they only open on weekdays and only til 5:00, so it's hard to make it here within those hours. Finally made it here since my mom had an appointment nearby. They are located in the industrial part of town and it's a little hidden but it's near Kaiser. The store is in front of the warehouse. There's so many items for $1 here! Croissants, cake slices, pizza bread, cookies. We left with a lot more then we planned on buying. The pastries are packaged individually and there's no preservatives in their food. You can't beat the prices. They have single items as well as boxes of cookies and some of their loaf cakes. They also make custom big cakes. The croissants and some of their pastries aren't the highest quality but for the prices they're good. We tried the pineapple pizza bread, jalapeño cheese pizza bread, zucchini carrot cake, custard danish, cream cheese croissant, pineapple danish, mango coconut cookies, ginger cookies, and snickerdoodle cookies. All the items tasted fresh and the breads were soft, the cookies crunchy. Snickerdoodles are light and crispy, easy to keep popping in your mouth. The pizza bread is a little sweeter than I was expecting but add some toppings and they were tasty. The zucchini carrot bread is delicious! The only item I really didn't care for was the cream cheese croissant. Was expecting it to taste sweet more like a cheese danish. However, it was filled with regular plain cream cheese which had a tart taste. If in the area, I'd return to get some goodies. Can't beat the prices!

Finally checked out this bakery outlet in San Leandro, off marina. Passed the kaiser hospital in the warehouses. Lots of bakery options from flavored $1 croissants (chocolate, almond, strawberry, pineapple, cheese, jalapeño/cheese). Tons of cookies in stock. $2- $9 depending on size of container. Cookie bars $1-$7. I think the 7 layer bar was good with the coconut & chocolate layers. Variety of Cakes. The only bread options I have seen was the Hawaiian buns. Keto options available but I did not try any. So far everything I have tried are ok. Nothing that I wound rave about but for the prices you can't go wrong. I spent over $50 as I was grabbing cakes for coworkers too! Yummy

These days, there's nothing like Bakery Street. Their baked goods are very basic, sure, but sometimes people just want traditional simplicity made with quality ingredients. People also like a good deal. Well, you'll absolutely find that here, as many products are sold at $1-2 each. Not only that, but these treats are actually some of the ones you'd find highly marked up at a grocery store or your local cafe! And they also have keto treats! I wouldn't expect much for service, though. Everything is laid out, so just go on about your business and pick whatever - it won't cost you much anyways.Most things are going to taste like exactly what you'd expect them to taste coming from a grocery store. So really, just pick what you generally like. Their cookies taste like cookies, and their cakes are very moist and soft. If you have an Asian palate like me, a lot of things come off as sweet, but mostly the cookies and treats with cream cheese.My favorites are the toasted coconut crisps and the snickerdoodle cinnamon cookies. The slight burnt on the coconut crisps makes them taste so good, and it's packed with buttery essence! The coconut shreds give it an awesome texture without being chewy. The snickerdoodle cinnamon cookies are very crisp and also buttery - definitely one of my favorite forms of snickerdoodle. I generally dislike cookies, but it's hard to put these down.I've tried the madeleines before and they were mostly sweet, dry, and not buttery, though pretty light. The ones from Costco are a lot better. The banana bread is pretty okay, but not as good as the ones your friends probably make! Such is the price of baking wholesale. The red velvet lava cake doesn't have any cocoa in it, so it's really just a sweet moist cake.Want discounted baked goods? Don't think about going anywhere else, just go here and have a shopping spree.

Tried the Cinnamon Streusel Bundt Cake. Extremely sweet, even for those with a sweet tooth.

Employees are super friendly!All baked goods are delicious!!Pizza breads are my favorite
