I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place before! I grew up eating here, when it was still called Grain D'or! The goods are always fresh and delicious. The prices have increased over the years slightly but the quality hasn't waned. Go tos: creamy french, walnut cream cheese, strawberry danish, chocolate eclair. The swiss turkey avocado on focaccia bread is my favorite item from the deli. Add a cup of tomato basil ravioli and your meal is complete! Their special order cakes are also delicious and super light, European style and not overly sweet. The best part is you can order and pay online, then pickup at a bakery near you. read more

Andersen Bakery - Custom ordered strawberry shortcake for a baptism - Bakeries Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Over priced for no reason and every time I've been there the workers have been indifferent or borderline rude. Was in here today they miraculously had a new young lady working and she was vibrant and happy. But regardless I've been here to many times and I'm tired of ignoring bad behavior and the nerve to ask for tips when you pay with your card for walk up service, please. Only had white or brown sugar for the Peet's coffee they sell and that was in an odd place near an order register. This place needs to be managed better and the train the staff, won't spend anymore money here. To many other places will take my money, who have better everything, no thanks Anderson's. read more

What a nice experience visiting this business. They offer an array of baked goods. The Ube Brioche is so good! The employees treat you nicely and the do their best to get your order right. I had the Tuna Melt on a soft French roll, which was more than enough for my appetite. It took a minute for the pager to signal that my order is ready, but we'll worth it! read more

Very slow service even when there are no other customers. They charge $3.50 for Iced Tea and no longer give you refills. The cup is mostly ice. They want to charge $1 for a refill. Removing this place from my lunch rotation. read more

Andersen Bakery had a short line for a few hours. they required masks & social distancing to enter. (Stoneridge requires masks to enter). i got in line after eating. would have bought some pastries. they looked amazing. but i was stuffed. offerings: soups, salads, bowls, sandwiches, breads, pastries, coffeee... brew: m. coffee (2.65) -tasted ok, better than donut shop coffee but not artisan. noticed people were literally buying bagful of pastries, breads..... read more

The turkey avocado sandwich was quite dry. It wasn't very good and had a lot of mayo on it. We were also surprised that although malls are busiest on weekends, they said that they only have soups on the weekdays so that was a big question mark. There were very few sandwich options as well, which is a bummer. What was best about this place was their cheese danish. We took it home and put it in our toaster oven and it was so crisp and fresh. We saw three women ahead of us each order one and so we followed along and are glad we did. read more

Expensive but made with cheap ingredients, stale and doesn't taste good. We bought scones, chocolate chip cookie and a danish pastry. Everything tasted meh and stale. Will not buy from here again read more

I went here for a week and they over charge and their egg salad sandwich had shells and they put cucumbers in everything!

Why one star? Because the sandwiches are mediocre... it's mall food, but that would normally get you 2-3 stars. One star because they don't provide you with cups of water and force you to buy one of their drinks. Not providing cups of water in a sit down fast food should be illegal. They have the soda machine that has water, they have small cups for water... but I guess someone decided they needed to push bottle water. Terrible business. read more

Went on weekend to stoneridge mall. Fast food sandwich take out. Good quality bread. Sold out of baguettes. Food: we ordered 2 for $10 sandwiches. Great deal. Very good length. One sandwich is enough for one person. Crunchy sandwiches. Highly recommend banh mi Saigon sandwich. Shockingly good. Pate, ham, Vietnamese pork bologna, pickled Carrots and pickled cucumbers. read more

Super friendly staff. I almost accidentally ordered a jalapeño cheese bread which looked like pesto. I cannot handle spicy foods so I'm so glad the worker double checked with me after I pointed. I also got a loaf of the walnut cranberry bread which tastes so good toasted with butter. And I tried the mango creamy French. I was a fan and it was full of custard, which was a huge surprise. Really liked the variety of baked goods and employees were friendly. read more

This used to be my favorite sandwich place when I worked in the mall but the last 2 times I've gotten it to go I've been very disappointed with the quality of the sandwich. The chicken salad used to be full of fresh chicken and now it tastes like it's coming from a can, they used to use sprouts and now it's lettuce but they added cucumbers which is odd. The breads are still delicious but the sandwiches have gone down hill. I won't be ordering from here anymore which is a shame cause this used to be my favorite place for a chicken salad sandwich. read more

If you're going to come for fresh baked bread and baked good please come on a weekend when the stock actually looks and tastes fresh! I am a huge fan of their creamy French and their white bread in general however I came here on a tbh esta afternoon and the creamy French was extremely dry and hard and tasted stale. Disappointing that it wasn't fresh. read more

Great for a quick snack or lunch while you're out shopping. There's many delicious pastries to choose from, but get there early if you want a variety to choose from as stuff does run out. The tuna salad sandwich with bean sprouts is my go to. Don't forget to ask for the bread to be toasted if you prefer it! read more

Andersen Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Pleasanton, California

At Pleasanton's Stoneridge mall on a Friday afternoon we were dismayed at how difficult it was to find something decent to eat for lunch. Luckily, we finally stumbled on an Andersen's Bakery - fresh bread and sandwiches - better than the fast food options! We've eaten here in both the Concord and San Mateo malls previously, and had good experiences in both cases. I like their Cheese Breads, but they were all sold out except for the Pesto Cheese - not my first choice, but I opted for it. My wife had a combination of the vegetable soup and a sandwich. We came at a good time, because the line was short; while we were eating at a table, it got to be a good length. The dining area is not that large and somewhat cramped with tables fairly close together. But it's fine for a quick meal if you can find a seat. Otherwise it might be best to get to go and eat elsewhere in the mall. My pesto cheese bread was good and my wife liked her soup. However, her sandwich was disappointing to the point she opted not to finish it. Okay, but not up to the experience we've had at the other two locations. read more

I bought a chicken salad sandwich on raisin bread since the order taker didn't know that "country french" is "pain de champagne" (which I found out later that they had). The sandwich was just "ok". They didn't spread out the filling, so it was in a giant lump in the middle. The veges were wet so the bread got soaked. Still tasted good so overall... OK. If I could, i'd rate it 3 stars. Service was otherwise OK as well. 3 stars. Ambiance was as expected, but I got it to go so I can't say much. 3.5 stars. Also got a pesto cheese bread which I bought for the next morning. That was good. 4 stars. I've been going to Andersen & before that Grain d' Or for a very long time & I wanted to find this to be good to great, but not this time. read more

Good place to grab a healthier sandwich or some fresh baked breads, muffins, and pastries. I like the chicken pesto sandwich or the California BLT. Be sure to ask them to put avocado on the 'wich. It does get packed and seating is limited. Nice thing is that it is inside the mall on the second floor and not in the foot court. read more

I ordered a tuna sandwich, I ate 90 percent and notice black little bugs rolling around on the plate. I am 8 months pregnant and this is disgusting. I hope I don't get sick. I let the register people know. They cared 0 percent and went on making food for the customers. I will never come back here again. Hope they shut that down. Disgusting. read more

I've witnessed the same unsanitary practice as other reviewers. This place is unsanitary! They use the same gloves to prepare food as they do to handle cash. How is this allowed to continue for so long?! Imagine what they do when NOT in front of customers... Their quality of food have also deteriorated. Here is what we took home after ordering their Parisian sandwich. Picture is worth a thousand words :) read more

I was overly excited to visit Stoneridge Mall because I knew Andersen Bakery was open for business. There was a bit of a line but it was worth the wait. Maybe about 15min of waiting, we were able to still order 2 cream French sliced, California BLT, Tomato Ravioli Bowl, Hot Turkey Panini, and 2 Diet Pepsi. It's not a huge place but seating was available. We found a table real quick. Our food took about 10-15min as well to receive. My California BLT is always tasty and the best at Andersen Bakery... love the sprouts and the amount of crispy bacon, avocado, tomatoes and lettuce. My sourdough was grilled well... there was a slight piece of one half of my bread that was burnt but I still ate it. My tomato ravioli soup was good but more watery this time around so a little more on the bland side. My husband said his Turkey panini was good. The creamy French is the winner of the day as it was perfect before lunch and after as a dessert. We will be back for sure since this is the closest Andersen Bakery open. Props to the staff employees as they were non-stop busy and they were awesome. read more

I love the cheese breads here but today's visit did it for me. I ordered the cheese bread combo with a pesto cheese and their seasonal butternut squash soup that I also love. I waited about 15 minutes until my number was called and rushed back to work. I sit at my desk... I see the wonderful toasted cheesy bread bread, swoon. I take out my cup of soup and I'm, what the kids say these days, SHOOK!! I was gypped and given a half cup of soup. Disappointment especially waiting 15 min for cut toasted bread and for them to scoop soup into a cardboard cup. read more

The coffee here is really good, I ordered a small black coffee and the flavor was so extremely bold you didn't even need half-and-half. I also ordered an oatmeal cookie and almond croissant with raspberry filling, both are really good. The oatmeal cookie was not warm but it was soft and did taste like it was made that day. The croissant was really flaky and not overly buttery, it had a lot of raspberry filling and almond sprinkled on so the flavor was great. Really friendly staff, no complaints! read more

This used to be my go to spot when I worked at Stoneridge Mall over a decade ago. I eagerly ordered the spicy turkey pepper jack, (my personal favorite) anticipating the soft focaccia and yummy chipotle mayonnaise. Instead I was served day old bread that was both chewy and crunchy; slightly stale and toasted bread is not part of any sandwich I'd call delicious. The lettuce leaves had brown spots and the avocado should have been much more generous considering the $9 price point. read more

Quick take: carbs galore I stopped in to buy a loaf of creamy French bread. Also a few tomato and cheese pisanos. I haven't had one of these in a while. I remember it tasting much better than it does now. A little disappointed. Told the cashier I didn't want my bread sliced. Service was quick and friendly. I swear the pisanos use to have more flavor to it.... read more

Located in Stoneridge Mall is Andersen's Bakery. It is a smaller location than the other locations that are spread out the Bay Area and has a decent amount of seating in it. However, sometimes it may feel cramped in there because there is usually a long line for it as well. I had the Green Tea Matcha Tiramisu from Andersen's Bakery and it was just alright. There wasn't much of a matcha flavor and it wasn't very sweet at all. Unfortunately, it tasted very bland to me and it could've definitely used a flavor boost. I'm unsure whether this was just a one-time thing and maybe I got unlucky that day, but unfortunately, my visit to Andersen Bakery was just an okay one at best. read more

I ordered take out to be picked up at 2:35 through Yelp, and they started making the order AT 2:35. They weren't even busy. We've been waiting for 30 minutes now for the food to get done. Seriously? Update: They told us it would take another 30 minutes. read more

This review is for the Andersen Bakery in Pleasanton. Today I ordered 2 sandwiches to go. The store was not busy, there was a line for the baked goods, but not for sandwiches. It took them 25 minutes to make the 2 sandwiches!! There was a lady who came and socialized and talked to them. Gee! So I went home, opened the bags, and found out my two sandwiches were completely wrong!! Both of them! I don't think I will ever return to this store. read more

Great selection of breads, pastries and sandwiches... My fave here has always been the eggplant and fresh mozzarella sandwich the balsamic on sliced sourdough...delicious...and their cheese breads or ham/cheese croissants are the best....sister had the almond brioche and said it was delicious...looks almost like a dinner roll but was soft, almond-y and flavorful. Yolanda was helping me today and staff all very nice and friendly and offering recommendations on the pastries. :) read more

I was so excited to eat here today until I noticed a few disturbing things. I noticed all employees wearing disposable gloves, even the ones touching cash and debit cards which was a little weird. I figured it was to keep their hands clean. Boy was I wrong...they literally walked over to grab sliced bread using the SAME gloves they had just touched a debit card with!!!! I saw this personally with 2/3 employees working and sadly cannot recommend or return to this business. Just imagine when your debit card falls on the ground or bathroom floor and then it lands in that employees gloved hand who then reaches out into all the bread to give you your yummy treat. So disgusting and should be reported to the health department. I'll save myself the trouble and eat elsewhere. If you decide to go here ask them to change their gloves or watch them the whole time. I'd love a refund too spent $20 just to be disgusted . read more

I love Andersen Bakery! Andersen Bakery is my go to lunch spot when I am shopping at Stoneridge! I also go to Andersen Bakery to get bread for dinner! Whenever I eat lunch at Andersen Bakery, I order a sandwich. I have two go to sandwiches when I go to Andersen Bakery. Depending on my mood, I either get a ham & swiss sandwich or the bbq chicken sandwich. Both sandwiches are delicious! I also heard that their salads are good too. I have tried several of their breads. My favorite breads are their cheese breads, specifically the international cheese bread. Their pastries are delicious as well. Everything is delicious and fresh. The service is always great as well! The workers are friendly and I always get my food quickly after I order it. I've gone here a lot and I've never had a bad experience at Andersen Bakery so I am shocked to see that the Bakery doesn't have the best reviews on Yelp. Also, Andersen Bakery has two lines. One line for their bread (on the bread side) and the other line for sandwiches or other food. I just wanted to mention that because sometimes it can be confusing to people who haven't gone to Andersen Bakery before. I definitely recommend giving Andersen Bakery a try despite the low rating on Yelp. Enjoy! Simona read more

We had Pesto and Cheese bread and Mango Shortcake.. as requested we had the bread oven toasted.. It was soft, fresh, smells good and delicious.. Customer service was great except that our breads were not even put on a paperplate knowing it was not a to-go meal, but i wanna compliment the young teen who served us for slicing the bread so it would be easier for us to nibble on it.. It was tasty and so was the cake... Place was clean, bread display and products were lined and organized... read more

The creamy French was delicious and I enjoyed grabbing a treat! The chicken salad sandwich was alright. A pretty good place if in the area.

So the " self service line" is to order the sandwiches and meals...(don't see how that's self service) but the 1st line is for pastries or anything else.. that doesn't make sense. I was waiting in line with a group of other customers waiting to order when two ladies walk up to the self service line and basically get to skip the line...looked like they were taking advantage of their white privilege cuz they didn't care one bit that they were ordering 3 whole sandwiches meanwhile they already got there order and I'm still waiting for my sandwich 20 mins later. read more

Wanted to try the cheese danish but it wasn't as flaky as I thought it would be. However, it was still good. It went very well with an iced coffee with half and half. When you go inside there are two registers. One for the sandwiches and one for the pastries. It gets fairly busy so the tables are sometimes not clean. read more

Waited about 30 minutes for my food because they gave it to someone else. They didn't have the ticket ready so had to remake it completely. This happened to 2 other guests waiting for their food.
