Fink's Bakery

Delicious tarts! Great service!Highly recommended Will be coming back for their tarts

Hidden pleasure located in the municipal parking lot across from the downtown cinema . Home made cookies in all flavors just $2 for a bag of 8 full sized cookies! Also their sheet cakes are HUGE and all flavors including carrot cake ! Cash only .

BEST Banana Bread!!!! $3.50 loaf....I've posted before about this little place and usually buy a loaf of the zucchini bread or carrot but this time the BANANA is a stand out. Located in the parking lot BEHIND MAIN street.

I pre-ordered this cake for Fathers Day for $25! Can't beat that price! Can't wait to eat it!

#1 - CASH only business. Come prepared. #2 - Fairly obsure location. It's accessible via the parking lot behind the CVS pharmacy. It's to the right of Hayward Aikido. #3 - I mostly pointed to what I wanted. Asked about rolls, and he gave answers in a few words. Got the gist of what he meant. Tried several items there. Cookies 2/5 - the $2 grab bag cookies were on the crunchy, buttery, somewhat stale side. On the plus, you get ~6 cookies, but overall, not worth it. Also tried the coconut cookie, equally did not impress me. Not sweet if that's your thing. Had quite a bit of butter left on my fingers after eating two cookies. Meringue cookie 4/5 - this pleasantly surprised me. Sweet, white, and crunchy, definitely hit the spot after the cookies. Cranberry bread 5/5 - mini loaf. This was AMAZING. Didn't have high expectations after the cookies, but the bread was suprisingly moist and soft. Would definitely go there to get their loaves again. Also had banana and pumpkin flavor varieties. Long flaky pastry 4/5 - not sure what it was, but it tasted good. WIth the exception of the grab bag and coconut cookies, the rest of the baked goods were solid. Would consider frequenting again just for the breads. Curious to try their muffins and croissants in the future!

I just came from there and bought a $2 bag of assorted pastries. They were STALE. Not just day old STALE but a few days old stale. I blame myself because I didn't look at the goods in the bag. I should have taken a closer look because when I got home and tried them I noticed that they were dry, hard and in the case of the jellied danish, the jelly had a strange coating on it possibly from being left in the bag for days. There is no smell to the pastry...not even a stale smell. It makes me wonder if these things were left on that shelf for a week or longer. As I write this, I have a bad taste in my mouth and starting to feel sick in my stomach. For good measure, I examined each pastry (4 per bag) and noticed that all were dry, had no smell and was difficult to break apart -- something that shouldn't happen with flake pastry. This was my one and only time at the bakery and will probably not return. I wrote this after the city of Hayward began to relax masking standards and I have no idea how long the bakery has been open since the pandemic. Perhaps this bag of bread had been left on the shelf during lockdown and I am the unlucky one who ended up buying the bag.

Delicious! Wandered in tonight and was surprised they were open amid the pandemic. First time customer and definitely will return. I purchased a bag of 4 assorted muffins for $2 and two large meringue cookies for $0.55 each. The cookies didn't last that long and were gone before I even left the parking lot. Temptation grabbed me when I returned home and I dove into the lemon poppyseed muffin. It was moist and exploding with flavor. The other muffins look to be blueberry, chocolate, and maybe pumpkin? These would definitely cost more than $2 each at a coffee shop. The owner was soft spoken but extremely nice and accommodating. This is a cash only business, so come prepared. Looking forward to returning to sample the other items. They have loafs, danish, biscotti, and cakes too.

My friend was celebrating her birthday and our group picked up two cakes - a tiramisu cake and a strawberry cake. Both cakes were nice and moist and not too sweet. Very delicious and great service as well!

Best blueberry pie EVER! You'll have to special order this masterpiece. Gary is very accommodating :) please support this local gem especially during this shelter-at-place. All pastries are delish but the blueberry pie is my fave!

We stopped by Fink's Bakery last night to show our friends where it was located in Hayward. We had a $5 bill left in our pocket and you wouldn't believe what you could buy for $5 there. I love pumpkin and they had pumpkin Loaves for $3 a piece. What a great deal. I couldn't even make a pumpkin loaf for $3. They also had assorted muffins for in a pack $2. That's $0.50 a piece guys. What do you pay for a muffin at Dunkin Donuts on Noah's? This place is a no brainer.
