Bay Area Hot Breads

***** 5 STARS to their EGGLESS CAKE . I ordered for my daughter's 5th birthday party . Frozen theme cake chocolate flavor, It was a hit. The cake was not only visually stunning but also incredibly delicious. Not that sugary , very soft cream. All the guests couldn't stop raving about it. Highly recommend this place.

I am sorry I would not recommend this place to anyone. Totally disorganized. They advertise food to eat there. When we got there we did not see any menus. Other customers waiting to be served wanting to order a cake and getting frustrated. We ended buying pav bread. Marked $3.99 on shelf. Charged us a lot more. I just paid and walked out. We like to support small businesses but this was not the experience anyone should put up with.

Nothing in this bakery stood out, but it does fill a nice niche in the area as an Indian bakery. Someone recommended this to me, and I definitely have to say I enjoyed the warm pastries in their display case. Service wise the workers are not particularly friendly but they're there to do their job, which is fine with me. The inside of the store is quite basic with not much decoration or presentation, but I will say the bread was decent.

This review is specifically for their Pavs. I bought their Pavs from a Trinethra store and I am never going back to any other brand. Their Pavs are the best for Pav bhaji, vada pav etc. they're soft and not sweet like some other brands.

This review is only for their pavs and I'm yet to try their other items. Aurka and hosted a few friends this diwali and wanted to buy 8 packs of pav. Each pack came in a set of 12 and we called before arriving. I was told they have 8 packs in stock and they did. We've been repeatedly eating our pav bhaji left overs and when sauteed with amul butter, their pavs retain their softness and freshness. They are just like at any pav bakery back home and the taste is savory and not sweet as compared to other pavs we've tried from different places.Our friends loved the pavs as well. I was told they were baked the same morning and were a fresh batch. They have cakes and puffs and cookies and we'll make sure to check them out for those too. In the meanwhile, we do have our favorite bakery for pavs.

One alluring aspect of Hot Breads is that they can make eggless cakes for patrons who are vegan or don't eat eggs. Some of my family members don't eat eggs, so Hot Breads has always been a staple in our household for years. However, with the recent availability of vegan bakeries, there are many other options that fit within budget and are able to provide beautiful cakes. One thing I strongly dislike about Hot Breads is the service and communication. I was expected to text the baker (no fault to them of course), who happened to not be in store the day I was there, to explain what I wanted. This would be fine if I was solely communicating with the baker, however I had already explained to the cashier what I was seeking - she wrote down everything I requested on paper from size to decorations, which were minimal due to the price, yet I was told I had to text the chef and explain what I wanted. They are also on the pricey side - be prepared to spend a pretty penny if you're buying a cake from them. I would completely understand if I had requested an extravagant cake with many decorations, however I had a pretty simple cake (to be fair, I'm not a cake expert or baker, so it could have been a decently priced cake). Overall, I would still recommend newcomers to give it a try, as they have other baked goods such as cookies or pav bread that is popular.

Wow! 5 thumbs up for their eggless cake!I attended a Birthday Party on Sunday and as usual the traditional Birthday Cake was served. I usually pass because it's usually sooo sweet, but the smell alone made me want a piece of this brightly decorated cake.Eggless (a vegan thing)...hummm sounds interesting, and I was definitely NOT disappointed with the delicate flavor, light with a perfect texture, and soft creamy frosting...and YES, I went in for another piece! Shame on me but it was that GOOD! I will for sure call them the next time I have a special occasion, or maybe just treat myself again sooner! When I update my review I will post a photo of this amazing cake!

The go to place for purchasing bread for pav-bhaji. It is egg less so good for vegan. The puff pastry is excellent and and Indian cakes are good. Hot Bread used to be 12 bun pieces in one pack - now the pack has been changed to just 9 bun pieces. Even though it is not a dine-in place it the payment terminal nudges you pay the TIP!

I ordered this pav bread via DoorDash this morning and this is what they choose to send, Pav with a big baked in.I have been to the store a couple of times and usually the stock is fresh but with a doordash order I feel like they deliberately like to send off the oldest stock since the customer cannot pick and choose and inspect before purchasing.I have noticed this happening with multiple doordash orders of mine.Why do I still order? This is one of the few places that makes pav without any milk in it and that's a requirement for me and going in person isn't always an option.I called in and reported the same incident, apparently mihit/nikhit(couldn't catch the name properly) packed my order and couldn't care less.Let's hope this review makes them want to correct their ways and be conscious of quality whether the customer is in person to inspect or otherwise.

We had an amazing experience with bay area hot breads. The eggless black forest and vanilla cake were delicious and everyone at the birthday party enjoyed it. The cake was decorated very beautifully. I highly recommend this place.
