Feel Good Bakery - Alameda Marketplace

Tasty treats! Nina's chocolate cookie is my favorite!!! Actually everything is yummy!

I was messaged by the bakery and they offered a gift certificate above what was spent. I'm not trying to profit off of the faux pas, I usually don't go back to places where I've had a bad experience. I did stop by and the cashier refunded me and that's enough. I do appreciate the offer of the certificate though, a lot of places will just give lip service. "Oh, we'll do better next time" or some other BS.

Quality/Quantity - I attended an event today and wanted to bring desserts from the Alameda's best bakeries; see Crispian Yelp Review also.Today we chose the Lemon Tart $33, 4 stars - Sorry, this was second place compared to the Stone Fruit Pie from Crispian.My daughter actually wanted the pear and almond tart as she felt that would taste better, but we settled on the Lemon Tart as the presentation was better.Also got my daughter a snack.Raspberry & Pistachio Croissant $5.25 - This was 5 stars! She said it was so good! So good that she did NOT even offer to share. What happened to her manners? I know she is going to read this. LOL.Atmosphere - Inside our local Alameda Marketplace.Plenty of shared mall parking.Open 7 days a week from 8am to 7pm. If you want a guarantee on your favorite items, come early.Service - Good. Fairly long line today (3-4) people ahead of us; but it moved quickly. Thank you.Price - $38.25; expensive but that is the price for quality.Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2004 and with your two locations.

Got a loaf of sourdough and two dozen rolls from the Farmers Market in Pleasanton for Christmas. Come Christmas morning the rolls were bad.

Wow. This was hands down the worst cake we've ever had. Sooo dense, syrupy, gummy. No one wanted to eat it, and it was for my daughter's 5th birthday. You know it's bad when even little kids wont eat it.I had high hopes because we were recommended Feel Good bakery cakes. Since they only do simple decorations, I added some custom fondant butterflies and leaves. It looked lovely! But who cares, if the inside tastes so bad.... if anyone at feel good reads these reviews, please seriously reconsider your vanilla cake recipe...will not be ordering cakes from here every again.

If you want a moist, melt in your mouth, delicious red velvet cake, don't get it from here. I bought this and had it sitting on my counter for maybe 20 minutes. I was excited to try this since I usually really like red velvet cake. This cake was soooo dry. The fact that I didn't put it in the fridge and I had it sitting at room temp in case they had it in fridge, and it was STILL dry tells me it's not freshly baked. I'm thinking it's maybe days old I could feel how hard and dry the texture was as soon as it hit my mouth. The cream cheese frosting was pretty tasty though. I'm giving this place 2 stars only because I have enjoyed eating their flourless chocolate cake in the past. They make a good one and it's nice to have that option when enjoying dessert with my gluten free friend.

Food: every bakery item I've tried has been great! The macarons are absolutely perfect The vanilla custard cakes are delicious, even the buttercream is good. They have seasonal breads that are perfect for family meals paired with fresh butter and jams

My friend brought us some treats from this bakery. Profiterole- kids liked thismango-good mango flavor, not overly sweetpear-the mango was betterfruit tart-5/5 this is the winner. Fruit, custard, chocolate layered crust was all very good. strawberry bagatelle-this is like a shortcake.

Lovely people but sorry to say the cakes are terrible. We've tried three flavors and thrown each away (and we love cakes). Some of the cookies are quite good but I am mystified by how a bakery makes such dry, bland, poorly flavored cakes. Do yourself a favor and skip the cakes!

An update: I ultimately received an email from Feel Good, and they made things right! I've since gotten another cake and it was absolutely delicious.
