What a cute and beautiful shop! I love the enticing food/dessert displays and the nature-inspired interior.The manager is friendly and professional, and helped me figure out which flavors of Jar Cake to get - we prefer less sweet, so I got the Tiramisu and Ruby Chocolate. Both were delicious! I'm looking forward to trying the Pistachio next time. I often look for good food/dessert to bring as gifts, and their cute cardboard box that fits 2 jars will be perfect for my future lucky recipient. (I opted for a bag for my own purchase today.)I came by on a weekday after lunch, so I didn't get to try the savory food but they all looked delectable! The variety rotates. The packaging is neat, and Best Buy dates are clearly marked. There's plenty of street parking near and around California Ave. I will definitely return when I need goodies to-go!

Found out this shop is walking distance from my work, so wanted to try something sweet. The gentleman working the counter was so nice and recommended me the "Ruby Chocolate" jar cake and it was delicious. Just the right mix of sweet and savory. The *one* downside is that they didn't have a lot of product to choose from when I came in, so hopefully more choices are on the horizon!I'll definitely be a returning customer!

Picked up my very first TooGoodToGo order from GK Pastry and we really enjoyed it! Came in at about 7pm to pick up my order ($6.99) and they gave us the following two Focaccia:~The Focaccia~- Chocolate & Blueberry Focaccia: This one was our favorite! This focaccia had SO much blueberries in it, it was so good! Not too tart, and balanced the chocolate and cream cheese pieces perfectly. - Shiitake Mushrooms & Gruyere Focaccia: Savory, umami goodness. This bread had a lot of shiitake mushrooms and cherry tomatoes on it and balanced out the cheese really well. I love savory breads ands this did not disappoint. ~Overall~Despite getting our order from TooGoodToGo, both breads tasted fresh and we really enjoyed it! It seems that the normal price of each bread is about $11, so it's a bit pricey, but I do think even that price would be worth it for how generous they are with their seasonings and toppings of each bread. I'd definitely like to go back and try out their different flavors. I also really appreciate how late they stay open for being a bakery; I feel like a lot of bakeries tend to close earlier (also since they start at earlier hours), but this bakery is open until I believe 8:30pm, so it's very convenient for those that may have to be at work until 5pm. Definitely recommend this bakery for anyone that wants to try some unique focaccia flavors!

I came here for a Too Good To go order a bit after closing time. Our order had focaccia bread (one big plain one and one with tomatoes and other fixings) STARS (stand out qualities)-Foccacia bread was flavorful and moist-One staff there was there was very friendly and offered to answer any questions I may have STAIRS (areas of growth) -Prices are high and would be good if they have promotional events for discounts -The staff said they only have chocolate cookies at Mountain View branch. I recommend they sell chocolate chip cookies at Palo Alto branch since that is a main staple cookie to offerTIPS-there is free street parking-You can try this bakery too good to go if you want to have more affordable prices on your first tryI'm very tempted to go back to try their pistachio ice cream!

Had no idea a little bakery was tucked behind this plaza- we wandered in & were immediately welcomed. The person working did a fab job explaining that they budge bread fresh every day & describing everything we asked about I bought a beautiful olive sourdough bread for myself & cookies and jar cakes for gifts. Everything looks amazing & the cookie samples were good. My friend bought a tea forte lovely gift box. Would love to return for the beautiful foccacia & try more flavors of jar cakes.

I love this bakery and I'm not surprised it has all 5 stars. It's family owned business. The owner and staff are extremely friendly. You'll see how lovely this place is as soon as you enter. It's cute and very well organized. It is a bit pricey but I'd say it's worth it, all baked goods are made fresh each day. And the menu keeps changing as well. You get free samples as well. I've tried most of their mason jars desserts and it's delicious, I always take those to go. I once had the crab bread, I forget what it was callee but oh my it was wayyy too delicious. I loved every bite! Definitely a great place to visit. They have two locations, I've been to both and they're both great!

My office ordered GK pastry jar cakes for a meeting. My husband and I tasted 2 items from the wide selection.Absolutely delicious and lip smacking desserts.Chocolate mousse (5/5): out of the world. Each bite was filled with delicious chocolate cake and had small crunchy chocolate balls. Loved it. I don't even have sweet tooth nor I like chocolate. But I loved this item a lot. Absolutely must try.Pistachio (4/5)this was pretty good too. Pista flavoured cream layers and mascarpone stuffing. It's sweet but not overpowering. This is located in downtown Palo Alto. Would love to visit their store and try other flavours too. Most of them are also gluten free with ingredients neatly listed on the lid itself. They have decent shelf life too refrigerated. Must visit!!

Summary:Tasty soft breads and delicious cake jarsDetails:One of several shops in the Bay, GK Pastry offers up a smattering of baked goods that (I think) vary a bit between locations, ranging from cookies and cakes in various formats, to focaccia and loaves of bread.We've been a couple of times now, and have yet to find something we've disliked, though their focaccia and bread tend to be our go-tos more than their other offerings. That said, their cakes (both the square and jar cakes) have been pretty tasty, and are generally a bit less sweet than other shops we've been to.With this location at least, they even allow you to taste test some of the eats, including some breads and cakes, so you can try before you buy!Accessibility:Lots of space, with a variety of higher and lower shelved items, but generally accessible.

Stopped into GK for dessert for the family. I got the Apple Pie and Mixed Berry Jar Cake as well as the Blueberry cookies.The Apple Pie jar was my partner's favorite and the Mix Berry was my favorite. The Apple Pie Jar Cake has a great texture. The apples are so perfectly diced into tiny cubes. It has such a nice Apple Pie flavor. The cake part was also delicious. The cake part was fluffy and soft. I personally loved the Mix Berry Jar Cake more. The texture is so creamy and reminds me of the texture of Tiramisu. It had a velvet mouth feel.The service was great and the shop was very clean, tidy and made you feel welcome. I'll be back! Hope other people will check them out too!
