Crispian Bakery

what a sweet and wonderful place.I came here to grab a cup of coffee and was welcomed by a sweet and wonderful couple.The coffe was great too!

This review if for a TGTG order.The pastries are delicious and creative! Super flaky and rich in their respective flavors. The service was quick, attentive and these folks are very informative. The pastries and bread are excellent! Small little bakery, but a delight to experience.

​Walking through the neighborhood on a Sunday morning, my wife & I dipped into Crispian to grab some pastries and hot drinks. The case offers several different delectables, I chose a Cinnamon Twist and my wife a Ginger Scone. We also ordered hot drinks (Mocha for me and Chai tea for her). Since the bakery doesn't offer customer seating, we stood in the back waiting for our drinks. Everything tasted very good, with my pastry very sweet and flaky, to go along with the strong mocha. My wife also enjoyed her food. This was a great start of a morning of shopping and eating in downtown Alameda.

I'm finally here! They have delish bread, which I had in a dew restaurants in Alameda. The pastries are delish!! I ate one in the car and it was so good.

Deserts and Cake was too delicious over there, I recommend this to everyone and also the place was so hygiene friendly along with the impressive ambience.also the staff was too good in terms of their nature and services.

This is for my TGTG(Toogoodtogo) order. Although I have been here in the past, learning that Crispian is proactive about lessening food waste makes me love them even more!I arrived around 2:45PM on Sunday to pick up my order. The parking, although a bit small, was okay in my Honda Civic. However, it may be tight for a bigger car. I walked into the store as another customer let me know they were giving out baguettes. Sweet! There were two employees working in the front, and as soon as I walked up, I let them know I was here for my TGTG order. They have bags already made and set up behind the counter. In addition they had day of baguettes in front too.The guy handed me my bag, which consisted of 3 pastries. I got:- Raspberry fruit Danish (sweet, good either tea)- Jalapeño cheddar Danish(Nice spice and kick)- Sweet cream type Danish I also got a baguette not part of the TGTGAll delicious! I did save some for the next day to heat up for breakfast.

Is Crispian a person or a pastry? Try the croissant of the day which was chocolate and raspberry. Ate this in my car and had to get out to brush off all the yummy flakes. You know what I mean ...crispy deliciousness.

Okay, finally time for an update.Cut and pasted from their website "Crispian Bakery is a small-batch bakery producing French-inspired American breads and pastry for the San Francisco Bay Area."I attended an event today and wanted to bring some baked goods from Alameda's best bakeries.Quality/Quantity - Stone Fruit Pie - One of today's seasonal pies; almost bought both signature pies. This was a hit!! Out of all the desserts brought to the event, this was the BEST.See Feel Good Bakery Yelp for the other dessert we brought to the event.Atmosphere - Small take-away location.Plenty of street parking, I believe they share the small parking lot in the back...?Service - Good, very patient with us as we wanted to get the best dessert for our event.Price - $35. Expensive, but that is the cost for quality.Worth it as well, as it earned me "street credit" for bringing the best dessert to the event.Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2015 at this location; I know you did farmers markets prior.

What an amazing spur of the moment find! Although we arrived a bit late in the day for a little bakery...10:00am...Crispian Bakery did not disappoint. We tried their specialty twice baked croissant of the day which I think had a chocolate hazelnut praline filling. It was so flakey and buttery and not overly sweet. We also bought two chocolate cupcakes and a chocolate eclair which my husband devoured before I could snap a photo. The cupcakes were outstanding, and the eclair was top notch inside and out. The next time we're in Alameda again, we're definitely returning for more of their offerings. In case you're wondering, the shared lot parking for this building is located in the back. There's a side walkway that leads from the lot to the front door of the bakery which is located on Park St.

So far everything I've tried here is well made and delectable. You can taste the quality ingredients and see the skill and care they place in their bakery products. Their staff here are nice too. Today I picked up a selection of pastry items for a small mid-day tea gathering at my home. Got the pumpkin muffin, ginger scone, cheese and chives scone, and a hearty slab of their apple slice. Everyone liked what they tried and it paired perfectly with tea or coffee. I especially liked their ginger scone (made with candied ginger bits).
