East Bay Bakery

So glad to see them at the Walnut Creek farmers market now and not just in their store fronts my go to is still the pastrami and cheese croissant! It's just perfection! -also their chocolate chip cookie! Is my must get once a week!

Pros: Great bakery, high quality items, friendly staff Cons: Expensive, don't come early, they do not seem to open on time.

Interesting bakes but not worth the $8-$9 price point. Most of the bakes in SF are similarly priced and it's really cute how the cafe is East Bay repping. Got the Kouign Aman, Almond Croissant, Basque Cheesecake and another pastry with crème and plums, they were fluffy and the almond croissant was flaky but not notable compared to others. Cheesecake was okay, but not worth the price point nor drive as it is a far ways off.

I am a new fan of this bakery. Let me preface this. My family have our own two bakeries in the San Jose area. They have a phenomenal reputation for quality and my opinion of this East Bay bakery will be complementary to our expectations. I give them a five star for the quality of their baked goods And so far what I have sampled has been excellent. The layers in the croissants are phenomenal and the taste is yummy. I have tried it three times and have found it to be very consistent. I will consistently come by and pick up some baked goods often. The only thing I wish they had was longer hours during the Week But the day that they do have long hours I will just have to wait till then or hit him up on the weekend in the morning as they will run out very quickly so thank you and looking forward to doing business with you.

I took a leap of faith and pre-ordered apple pie for thanksgiving without having tried any of their baked goods prior. I do have to say that the 4 stars come from the ease of ordering online and pick up. it was so seamless! The pie was good, but unfortunately there was no "wow" factor for me that makes me want to go back. Although I am open to trying other pastries if I'm ever in the area.

The scones are amazing! Friendly and local spot. Great pastries. My fave are the scones!

Best focaccia in the area!! Regular and large, only in Fri-Sat in the store, and Sat at Danville Farmers Market, if you get there early enough.

A little disappointing. The Baguette was kinda doughy inside, not light and airy as it should be. Didn't take butter well as it should.The almond croissant was nice. Sizeable but expensive at $6.Difficult to find parking. The staff as friendly.I'm sticking with Mason Benoit.

4.5/5Update: almond croissant is better now and more consistent than the competitors (downtown). Hands down! I know what was said previously and they changed for the better on the almond croissant. I been going consistently once a week and it has been consistently great. One thing I have to add, that I've finally tired is the pastrami and cheese croissant. I know this is a popular item because it's constantly sold out. You must try the pastrami and cheese croissant, you will not be disappointed!

Rude staff!!! Went there at 930a - which is 30 mins after opening and they are sold out of many things. Ask them if they are going to be baking new stuff -Rudely the staff member says no... I can literally see another lady in the back making a batch. Front counter person doesn't want to help out. Borderline racism behavior in this place - they seem to go above and beyond for caucasians but not for anything else.
