My last visit to Copenhagen bakery in Burlingame & SF Bay Area to visit friends…read more This visit, was to pick up dessert to take to a friend's house for dinner this evening. The minute one walks in the main front door, one is drawn into the beautiful display of the baked goods available for purchase: cookies cakes cupcakes, croissants, cheesecakes and an ability to special order cakes for celebrations.

This is by far my favorite bakery so far. Their pastries are unique, eye catching and delicious…read more The smell of fresh baking ingredients is in the air and many people doing different roles. I ordered their pistachio raspberry croissant which is my favorite. It has a nice outer crunch texture with a jammy and inside. The texture of crunchy pistachios is amazing too. The speck and the egg pastry is also unique with a boiled egg and bacon inside with tiny mustard seeds on top for a tart bite. It's delicious and makes a pretty hardy pastry. I also enjoyed their coffee from ritual which is a plus because not a lot of cafes or bakeries carry ritual around the area. This place is a gem! I also recommend eating upstairs where you can see pastry chefs in the bottom, cooking and cleaning. It's awesome watching their craft and witnessing a great team work. I will definitely be back with my wife and son. I will order and try new things!

We stopped by Simply Cake and ordered two slices to try: the Chocolate Cake and the Mango…read moreStrawberry Cake. The chocolate cake was decent and enjoyable, but it didn't really stand out for us. It was okay, but nothing particularly memorable or special compared to other chocolate cakes we've tried. Unfortunately, the Mango Strawberry Cake was quite disappointing. I was really looking forward to the fruity flavor, but the mango pieces were unexpectedly hard and had a sour taste that didn't blend well with the cake. Instead of adding a fresh and sweet mango flavor, the texture and sourness took away from the overall experience. I appreciate the effort and presentation, but the flavors didn't meet my expectations, especially for the mango cake. Hopefully, it was just an off day because I would love to try their other offerings in the future.

Did you know that the original owner of Schubert's on Clement is the same person who, after selling…read moreSchubert's, opened the Cakery in Burlingame? Had a nice chat with Sales Associate Rosa at the Cakery who enlightened me to this interesting tidbit. ... If you've been Following my reviews you will know... I am absolutely in love with Schubert's princess cake. This may explain why the princess cake at the Cakery has often been hailed as very similar to the one from Schubert's. Even though the Cakery has changed hands. They still offer memorably delicious cakes. I couldn't resist a slice of strawberry cream cake for lunch which was moist and light and ohh sooo good. Picked up a princess cake to enjoy with family and friends tonight. The verdict, while similar, I still prefer the Schubert's princess cake for its lightness and less sweet finish. Schubert's princess cake also has a more predominant almond flavor. Both memorably delicious. In fact, the consensus over the dinner table amongst friends and family was deeeelicious! And my cousin, who's the most important critique says I can bring the princess cake from either place over anytime! Would definitely return for either cake or to try the double chocolate cake which is Rosa's recommendation or coffee crunch cake that Mike C. recommended for next time. Suspect there will be many more times visiting the Cakery on Burlingame Avenue!

Their croissant is buttery and soft, and with a generous amount of salmon neatly packed in together. I kind of wish there was a sauce on the side to go with it. Bestie had the turkey wrap. He liked it but my salmon croissant was superior. Also the CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT CAKE (not the official name aha) this was so good! Dense and nutty with rich hazelnut and chocolate flavor. Best eaten the day of, as it dried out in my fridge aha. The interior feels quite empty, with some tables by the window, it might be cuter and more functional!

At the cashier, they have boxes of buns sold in bulk- black sesame buns, BBQ pork buns, and vegetable buns. Great for families. Other notable Asian pastries are individually wrapped such as the pineapple bun, cocktail bun, hotdog with green onion and taro buns. There are also cakes available, premade or made to order. I have not tried these yet.

I also really appreciated that everything is individually packed in plastic--it keeps everything super sanitary and easy to grab. While the texture and freshness were spot on, I did find that almost everything we tried was just a tad too sweet for my personal taste, especially if you prefer the typically lighter, less-sweet style of many Asian bakeries. I had the egg tarts. Cream bun, pineapple bun and Swiss roll cake. Overall, it's a lovely, spotless shop with great presentation, just be prepared for a bit of a sugar kick!

You can really tell they put care into their baking. The only item that didn't quite stand out to me was the cookies, which I think could be improved.

3.5*** Rando place…read morethat's right across from an industrial building and surrounding area so, it feels like you're lost and plus parking isn't great. Despite that, service was great. There's seating inside and outdoors. It looks linked to an actual kitchen - guessing that's why it's called Kitchentown. Taste testing done on site in addition to production? If so, that's efficient! The food looked yummy! Ordered: Egg-tine 7/10 The black sesame seeds were good but then the sunflower seeds adding with the cheese in the center, uhh, it was ok. I took off the center - see pic of actual product with the center in tact. That made it taste better. The croissant was my fave part - crispy yet flaky and oh so soft in the middle. Jamon fromage 10/10 Basically, a ham n cheese croissant. This was delish. Unsure if you've eaten at Croissante; but, their jamon fromage isn't that great compared to this. Theirs has mayo, which completely throws off the taste for me. In any case, this was a success. Latte 3/10 Way too milky and not enough flavor.
