I've been here a couple of times to pick up treats. They have a large variety of French-style bakery items like tarts and pastries. The prices seem kind of average/fair. Everything is fresh. It seems like it would be a nice place to hang out, though we have just gotten stuff to go. This complex has a lot of parking, and different stores. It's a good place to grab a dessert after dinner. read more

After having ramen with our friends at Kumako Ramen Den, we walked over to the Bibi Bakery to have some sweets. This is a Persian/french bakery that offers sandwiches, pastries, cookies, cakes, bread and more. The lady working behind the counter warmly greeted us. She was very nice and answered some questions I had about the pastries. All their desserts were displayed so nicely in their bakery cases. There was an apricot filled cookie I had my eye on. My friend Christina surprised me and bought it for me, along with some other sweets for us to enjoy together. They have seating inside of you choose to eat there. My husband and I bought one of their seeded Persian breads to take home. It was really good. We will definitely come back here for more of their delicious pastries and bread. read more

I stopped into BiBi Bakery & Cafe with some friends. They used to be part of Bijan Bakery but no longer. The interior is simple with a few tables to sit at. They have an outdoor shaded area. Not sure if you can still sit out there anymore. The owner was friendly and nice. The pastries, cookies, and cakes are similar and familiar to before. Support your local business. read more

We used BiBi bakery through another catering service. I had special ordered 50 cannolis. The catering service used BiBi's. The cost for 50 Cannolis was $475 " basically $9 each, which mind you I honestly did not care about as long as they were good Cannolis. Unfortunately, this bakery doesn't know the difference between a cannoli and New York steak because what we got was a very nice round cylinder with chocolate on one end and a custard cream filling, cannolis are supposed to have a thin crisp shell, and the filling should be made of ricotta cheese or mascarpone,"not custard, if I wanted custard, I would've bought a doughnut. And the shell which stick and head the consistency of a croissant multiple layers. Mind you if you're selling me this as a dessert it would not be bad, but this is not a cannoli no more than it is in New York steak. I cannot express in words how disappointed I was. If you can't make cannolis or don't know how to you shouldn't have to pretend and say you can do it 0 stars!! read more

I ordered a birthday cake several days ago and saw this bakery make Guava mousse. My sister loves guava anything and I was willing to try this out. Upon entrance I was overwhelmed with the display of all baked goods. While I waited for my cake to get boxed up I ordered an iced latte and some cinnamon butter cookies. The staff were very nice and checked in on me multiple times. They showed the cake before boxing up. I thought the little sparkles on the glaze were a nice touch. The cinnamon cookies were delightful. It was hard not to indulge but the butteriness, the perfect sweetness, and the size were perfection. I'd love to order an assortment of the other cookies on display. The iced latte was did not have a strong espresso flavor. I was quite disappointed as I didn't taste the espresso at all. I saw the worker make my drink but I was quite shocked at the color and the flavor. I probably wouldn't order a latte again. The star of the show, personally, was the guava mousse cake. I thought the sweetness wasn't overpowering. The guava flavor was delicious and didn't taste artificial. The actual cake was soft and moist. We found that even after slicing, the individual slices didn't easily fall apart. The over structure was sound. If I'm in the mood for another cake or cookie fix I'll definitely come back here. read more

Red Velvet Cake ($67.95) I had their red velvet 5-6 years ago and it was delicious. It was deep red and moist and balanced. Now it's just a 'somewhat edible' cake with equal parts of cream. Cake to Cream ratio is very unbalanced as the cream is way too dense and overpowers the actual cake. The cream itself would be nice if it was added in moderation, it has a sweet cheese kind of flavor profile. The Cake part is alright but somewhat dry and it's such a shame since the cakes are so beautiful. Both me and the birthday girl are disappointed and lost our appetites for another slice. The lady and the service of decorating the cake with a custom message was nice and I assume their pastries are better, but this cake really sucked. read more

Food, Service, Variety = 5; Ambience = 4 BiBi Bakery is one of my few go to local bakeries to buy family birthday cakes when we have a small gathering & want to spoil the celebrant as it is pricier, but worth it when want to indulge. It specializes in Mediterranean/Middle Eastern delicacies. Staff answers every-time I call their shop, always patient and helpful with my questions or requests. When I discovered they participate in Too Good To Go, they were the 1 of the first 2 purchased I made as a newbie app user. I was not disappointed. The ideal quantity, quality & variety of offering to enjoy with family or friends for a snack, dessert or pair with coffee/tea/milk. Taste testing a few cake slices helps with me to decide for my next birthday cake purchase. The cafe is bright and has seating space to enjoy your baked good on sight. read more

Delicious desserts and food! Custom cakes are easy to order, the staff is always very efficient providing great service. The bakery is such a lovely place which invites you to visit/eat. We love the vibe at this place and my son's birthday cake was out of this world. No one ever finishes an entire cake unless it's from BiBi! read more

Had the Passion Fruit cake, Burnt Almond cake and Pistachio cake. The cake layers were the same in all 3 cake slices. Soft layers. The difference is the cream or mousse flavors. Best pistachio cake I've ever had. The mousse was very delicate with hint of pistachio flavor. Top of slice was prinkled with crushed pistachios. Not too sweet. Passion Fruit had the tangy sweet taste. A lot more sweet than the pistachio. Comparable to lemon flavor but not as sour as lemon. Burnt Almond was just ok. More like lightly toasted slices of almond than burnt. The almond slices cover the outside of the cake. There's a layer of vanilla mousse/cream in between the cake layers. Pretty pricey for about $7 a slice. They have different cookies and lots of other cakes to choose from. Cakes are sold in slices or as a whole cake. They also have guava and tiramisu cakes which I want to try next time. read more

I bought a slice of Strawberry mousse cake and Black Forest cake. Both slices of cake were extremely dry. The strawberry mousse cake had stale refrigerated taste. I was so disappointed. If I could return the cake I would. I do not recommend this pace. read more

I came back twice since my wedding and feel like their cakes and pastries have declined in their appeal. I wanted to get the 6" almond or chocolate cake but the worker there convinced me to get a 8" cake even though I told her I only had a few people eating. She said it was only a bit more money but worth it and she convinced me to get the lemon mousse flavor because it was sweet and sour. It ended up being $60 dollars worth of disappointment. The lemon tasted artificial and reminded us of floor cleaner lemon. We tossed over 75% of the cake because none of my family members liked it. My tween cousins didn't even want to try it. Their pastries also looked like they were older. read more

Such a bummer. I've been coming to this bakery for years and used to absolutely love it when it was still Bijan's. Unfortunately, over the past several years, there's been a noticeable decline in both quality and taste. I'm not sure if there was a change in ownership, but the difference is hard to ignore. On my most recent visit, I ordered a slice of princess cake, and it was a complete letdown. It was a sloppy mess--soaked with something that made the cake soggy instead of light and fluffy, and the marzipan had a bitter, unpleasant flavor. I also tried the bamieh, which was dry and had the unmistakable taste of rancid oil. Not at all what I remember from this place. The roulette cake slice and the kolache cookie were decent, but everything else missed the mark. I guess I'll have to make the trip to the Bijan location in downtown San Jose if I want the kind of quality this place used to deliver. read more

Hmm tried their burnt almond cake and it was underwhelming. Cake was dry and the flavor was lacking a brunt almost cake. The pricing is on the higher side too. Not a fan! read more

I've tried a few different items from BiBi Bakery... pastries, an almond mille-feuille, mango roulade... but my favorite so far is the princess cake. They really do everything well here but, for me, that cake really is above and beyond. Fresh, airy and delicious. Really outstanding. The staff is very kind and helpful and parking is easy as well. I look forward to trying their pistachio mousse cake, strawberry mousse cake and some of the Persian cookies in the future. I've no doubt that they're all terrific. read more

If you're looking for little delights that make your mouth smile, BiBi Bakery is the place to go. This bakery offers a range of Persian baked goods from cookies to pastries to cakes. I walked in on an early afternoon. The bakery was refreshingly cool when I stepped in from the hot outdoors. There were displays of gorgeous cakes in front, and rows of cookies on the left. I was in the mood for some small treats so I looked through the cookies and pastries and settled on a half dozen tea cookies and a half dozen almond cookies. I also threw in an almond croissant for good measure. The associate was attentive and gathered my dozen cookies and pastry into a box with finesse. And within five minutes, I was out the door ready to enjoy my food. The tea cookies were light and delicate, hinting at butter just enough to tease my tongue. Each bite was a soft joy to sink my teeth into. In contrast, the almond cookies were bold. These cookies were sure to let you know all the sweet nuttiness they were made of. Marzipan is what I thought of when I bit into these petite delights. Fluffy and sweet was the almond croissant too. These cookies and pastry were a favorite of mine, and I can't wait to come back to BiBi Bakery for more. read more

It was good. Pretty clean place inside. Would come back to try the cake. Went on a Monday after work. The single worker was nice. I got the blueberry scone, lemon strudel and dark chocolate bar. I wish the chocolate wasn't so sweet. Always order this at other places too, and Bibi's is just too sweet. But the other two were yummy Parking lot in front read more

My SO wanted to stop by this quaint bakery to get me a birthday cake. He got the mango mousse cake and it is so beautiful, I loved the way they decorated the cake and it was so soft, fluffy and not sweet--which is my ideal taste for desserts. I ate practically a 1/3rd of the cake haha. Some friends also got some cookies and those were tasty as well. They had nice textures and consistencies and were lightly flavored since I am someone that typically avoids cookies. read more

Pretty good pastries, but the guy at the front desk failed to mention to us that if you sit down, there is a roughly 50% markup on our order. When I mentioned this on our way out to the host, he chuckled and didn't say anything. As a former service worker, deeply unimpressed with your customer service and failure to mention that sitting down costs so much more than taking pastries to go. Deeply disappointing experience considering this is supposed to be a "historic spot". We wouldn't yave gone if that 16$ turned into nearly $30. read more

The service was excellent, and they offered incredibly delicious treats along with a variety of coffees and teas. While passing by on my way to Starbucks, I noticed this place and found it intriguing, so I decided to give it a try instead. I was planning on getting something but I was interested in whether they had Wi-Fi available before deciding to stay and work here. The staff was chill and informed me that I could use their Wi-Fi without making a purchase, which I thought was very accommodating of them, as many places often require a purchase first. I got the chocolate croissant heated ($4.99), which was wonderfully flaky with a rich chocolate flavor. I will be returning to try more of their other items! read more

So disappointed. Use to go here all the time when it was Bijan's for their out of this world princess cakes. Recently got a princess cake for my birthday and it was not worth it. The marzipan or fondant on top does NOT taste like almond like it use to and it was literally dripping (see picture). Would not recommend wasting your money on a princess cake here. read more

Thankful for VEGAN CAKE!! :) I was scrambling to find a vegan friendly cake for a work meeting. Generally, the places I found were either expensive or inaccessible. A lot of the bakeries around were pre-order days in advance, closed on Mondays, or $150 a cake! That's insane!! I found Bibi right as I was losing all hope. I called and they were so nice and accommodating. I ordered a strawberry vegan cake Sunday morning, and went to pick it up Monday before my meeting. It's a cute little shop, with tons of pastries in the displays. The vegan cake was a hit, my coworker loved it, which was all I was praying for honestly lol I also ordered a mango mousse cake for everyone else, it was also well loved. Thank you BiBi for being Vegan Friendly :) !! read more

Fantastic princess cake! It's so nice to have a real bakery in the area serving fresh cakes and pastries. The icing on the princess cake was perfect, very nutty and so beautiful. I love that it comes in pink or green, not just the usual green. read more

I have been ordering cakes off and on over the years from this bakery. Their cakes and pastries are spot on. They're very delicious. Their employees and bakers are genuinely nice. It's easy to work with them to order any of their specialty cakes. I like going there in the morning when they have a lot of available pastries. I typically order the cakes in advance and pick it up after work. read more

Spent a little time here while waiting for a nearby appointment to wrap up. Very cozy spot with tons of delicious bakery items as well as sandwiches, coffee and tea. The staff was very friendly and did not bother me even though I sat outside for a half hour before I came into order.

Saw lots of happy looking customers leaving with boxes of baked goods, and the staff deserves an A+. read more

Working with bibi's cake staff for my wedding day was easy. The owner, Samira,made the decision easier than what I thought. The taste of the cake was walnut banana with almond cover . The service was organized and before the big day we had several messages and phone calls which made our communication easier than ever. Samira is text friendly and she tries her best to give a great service. She also give you some suggestions which I believe it helps for a better decision. read more

Great food, friendly staff, and a clean cozy atmosphere. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. Will definitely come back again!

Cute bakery/cafe. The cakes and the baked goods here are delicious. The cakes are moist and flavorful, whether it's their princess or chocolate or mango mousse or raspberry cake; all flavors are unique and I've enjoyed everything I've gotten so far. Not too sweet.

When you first enter, there's the beautiful display case of cakes -- look to your left for hidden gems: cookies. We enjoyed the mango cake and napoleon, but instead of celebration treats, I want to highlight the cookies that pair perfectly with cozy tea on a cold morning. As a reference, if cakes are 100% sweetness level, these cookies are 15-25% sweet. Ali was friendly and considerate in selecting and recommending a variety of cookies. His service is the best I've ever received at a bakery :) My favorites were the apricot and raspberry butter cookies that have wonderful airy crumb, the delicately thin raisin cookie, the unique textured almond cookie, and the sugar twist cookie (didn't note the exact name). read more

Highly recommend BiBi! My family has been a long time customer of this bakery for over 20 years and always loved their cakes and pastries. We needed a custom vintage engagement cake for a party a few days before the event and Nancy as well as BiBi bakery were super accommodating, friendly, and easy to work with. I had called a few other places the same day and no one was else able to help. Super grateful to the team for not only making a stunning cake but for their kind and gracious service throughout the process. read more

I usually am not that fond of chocolate cake but the Bibi cake is delicious! It comes with three layers of cake separated by two thick layers of chocolate cream as well as another thin layer of something like soft milk chocolate, all dusted with cocoa and maybe espresso powder. Super messy to slice into. When I had it after a meal it tasted too sickly sweet, but after trying it again the next morning for breakfast, it no longer felt like death by chocolate. The chocolate is rich but the cream is light enough to balance everything out. The cake part is moist even after a day in the fridge and not too dense or heavy. My dad said something about there maybe being liqueur. I can't tell either way because the alcohol taste was baked out anyway read more
