Sweet Adeline Bakeshop

After just one visit, I'm sold! Sweet Adeline Bakeshop was the sweetest find when I was in the Berkeley area. I was searching for a good classic vanilla cheesecake by the slice and Yelp pointed me to Sweet Adeline.Even though it's sort of off the main street in Berkeley, they luckily have a small parking lot in front so it was pretty easy to find parking. The shop itself is pretty small - takeout only except for a couple of tables outside. On a Thursday mid-morning, it wasn't too busy either. Once I entered the shop, I was already wow'd by all the beautiful, delicious pastries and bakery items on display. If I could get one of everything, I definitely would've and I'm sure everything would've been so good!Instead of getting everything this time, I ordered a slice of their classic vanilla cheesecake ($5) and a slice of their Louise cake ($7.50) which is a classic chocolate cake. They packed it up nicely in a box and I brought it home for dessert after dinner that evening. I made sure to keep it in the fridge until then and when I unpacked it later that evening, it still looked so fresh and ready to go. We shared the slices with our dinner guests who had birthdays this month and they both LOVED IT. I sneaked a bite of each and they were delicious. Can't wait to go back and try more!

The pastries are made in house and have more variety of flavors than other coffee shops. I loved the cake and other pastries. Unfortunately can't say the same for the drinks. I had one of the worst chai and coffee here.. and my friend also had the same experience on a separate visit.

A solid local bakery that you can pre-order for birthdays and holidays. I really like their pear galette. The chocolate cream pie is decadent and the confetti cake is a fun birthday treat. I recently picked up the very rich buche du Noel for Christmas. It was an intense chocolate angel style cake with a cream frosting. Sadly, it was a bit dry and it ended up not being my favorite. While went with a few monster slices at $6ish/slices, I would have been disappointed at the $80 price tag for a full one. No croissants here, but more muffins, pecan buns, scones and the likes. Definitely check their menu to see if anything strikes your fancy. Coffee is solid, but no nonfat milk - only whole, almond or oat. Plenty of parking.Overall, a solid locals spot.

Love coming here for our birthday cakes, that have a great variety and we've tried a lot of them. They also offer pastries and other little sweet treats and also make really good lattes. Great staff, would recommend getting cakes here for your special occasions

Was in the Berkeley area and I was looking for something sweet. I also had a friend who wanted me to pick something for a Holiday party either Pie or Cake. I had seen this place and was curious about the their selection of Baked goods. I had taken my "sweet" time perusing their cake selection until I noticed a line forming behind me. I had bought a dozen cupcakes which were Pecan Carrot cake and ginger bread cupcakes . I also added a Bourbon Pecan slice, as well. People were Super friendly and very helpful. Parking was easy and I was able to be in and out quickly and definitely will be back for more of their Baked goodies.

There is zero reason to give less than 5 glowing stars to this gem!! They have an unbelievable array of delicious baked goodies, a fun & tasty daily sandwich offering, great coffee options, and the nicest staff.No seating indoors but there are options outdoors and it's a cute little corner to hang out on.

We've been coming to this bakery since we moved to Berkeley. Love it. Favorites are the gougere, the ham turnover and chocolate chip bread. My potentially soon-to-be-ex-husband differs in his star rating, but let's ignore him:-) We are lucky to have such a great business a block away. Wish it were open more but I get it.

Wow. Sweet Adeline's carrot cake is a must for all you carrot cake lovers!I was in search for a stellar cake for my brother's 40th birthday and after much investigation, Sweet Adeline won me over. I hadn't tried it before but the reviews and pics from my beloved Yelpers really helped me - kudos to you all!Ordering was easy online and I wanted to add all the things- writing, flower decor, and candles. Communication is solely online - there is no phone number listed but Amanda was very quick to reply online.I picked up the cake before they closed at 3pm and it was beautiful. The cake itself was absolutely scrumptious and made well with all the layers of moist carrot cake and addicting and not too sweet cream cheese frosting. My brother said it may be the best he's had and he's a die hard carrot cake fan.Thank you Sweet Adeline for making my brother's birthday cake so memorable. I can't wait to try your other desserts!

Pastries are okay, not fabulous for the price and the rave reviews. Service is good and the shop is very welcoming.

Strawberry cream cake for my son's wedding was so good it was gone at the buffet before half the crowd even saw it!
