You can't go on vacation and not go to a bakery. If your near or in Truckee, this is the place! The brick building will tell you where to go. The doors open and your greeted with a busy bakery ambiance. Coffee drinks being brewed and fresh baked goods will greet you like a warm hug. They have savory and sweet. They have flaky. They have unique. Unicorn product full stop the focaccia in my opinion. Coming from a bread head, chefs kiss Some would say the cinnamon roll. I would say just go and pick, you'll be a happy person. Pastries on vacation, check. Recommend. read more

As someone that bakes and loves to eat I think her baked goods are fantastic. She also said happy birthday. Thank you for existing. read more

Cornerstone Bakery - Chocolate croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Truckee, California

I do love the baked goods here. The textures and flavors are a strong offering in a town with great baked goods options. But it's probably the worst of the espresso bunch. I submit this isn't subjective.. the thing in my attached photograph isn't espresso. It was weaker than drip coffee and tasted mostly of hot water. But the baked goods bring me back on those occasions I don't care about a coffee option. Or when I'm willing to go a few doors down after for my beans. read more

Cornerstone Bakery - Espresso - Bakeries Near Me - Truckee, California

What a great find in downtown Truckee! They had plenty of baked goods still available during the end of the day right before they closed, which was a nice surprise. We ordered a blueberry bar that was to die for as well as a twice baked chocolate and almond croissant. Both were so yummy! Cornerstone Bakery became our regular spot while vising Truckee so much so that we visited them all three days during our recent visit. In addition to their great pastry options, they also have many coffee and tea drinks available too. We also enjoyed their homemade focaccia bread with salt and it was so delicious! They have some seating inside as well as outside and the space feels very quaint. I highly recommend stopping in during your next visit to the area! read more

Cornerstone did a lovely job with our wedding cake. They were easy to communicate with, pick up was easy, and execution was perfect. We even saved a little bit of our cake to enjoy for our 1 year anniversary because it was so good! read more

I recently discovered "Cornerstone Bakery" in Truckee and had the pleasure of sampling their Vanilla Bean Pull Apart and Caramel Almond Brownie. The Vanilla Bean Pull Apart evoked nostalgic memories of my grandmother's traditional recipe, offering a delightful, melt-in-your-mouth experience. However, the Caramel Almond Brownie was particularly exceptional. I highly recommend Cornerstone Bakery for all your dessert requirements. read more

We came in with a group of 8 for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised by how fast and efficient the service was. You order at the counter, and even with a larger group, everything came out quickly, correctly, and hot. Great unique menu! The inside is clean, small but cozy, and the food was beautifully presented--clearly made with care. Every plate looked like something you'd want to photograph before diving in (which I did!) Very tasty, fresh, and flavorful. Not great for large parties, although we were accommodated at different tables. Recommend! read more

Great little bakery in downtown Truckee. Across the tracks from the Main Street. Favorite item was the pull apart muffin. Next time will try the cafe next door. read more

This place is always busy on weekends so we decided to check it out on a very busy Saturday morning. There was a short lion out the door, but it moved fast. The bear claw looked delicious. I went for the ham & cheese croissant, which is like 6 inches tall. It had a generous portion of ham & cheese inside. The owner also dropped a coconut & chocolate cookie in our bag that was also great. Rather than sit at the crowded tables on the busy street, we biked down to the new park and enjoyed it riverside. Cornerstone rises to be my favorite local bakery... read more

Very popular restaurant, so the service wasn't exceptionally outstanding. Fast service though, so no complaints. Inside felt a little crowded and overwhelming so we ate outside. Ordered the veggie sandwich with the potato chips. Everything was delicious. read more

Cornerstone Bakery is truly a one-of-a-kind gem in the heart of Truckee. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine warmth-the cashier was incredibly friendly, and you could tell the chefs genuinely love what they do. That passion comes through in every bite. My favorite was the BLTA; the candied bacon paired perfectly with the fresh focaccia, creating that ideal balance of savory, sweet, and satisfying. Every ingredient tasted thoughtfully prepared and incredibly fresh. The ambiance was relaxed and authentically local, with the comforting aroma of freshly baked bread filling the space. It's the kind of place that instantly feels inviting and special. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Remarkable and amazing, baked goods, great bread, pudding, delicious shortbread, cookies. A bit pricey, but treat yourself to this one.

Staff seemed like they would rather be anywhere else (I get it, I don't like working for a living either) but it was off putting. Truly the worst coffee and Chai we've ever had at a bakery. The scone I had was good and the rest of the pastries looked great too so a star for that. read more

This is my ultimate FAV Truckee stop!!! Their carbs, I mean treats, are everything! No matter what you try, you won't be disappointed. Whenever we stay in the area, I try and go here at least once. I was lucky to go here 2 days in a row this weekend. Yesterday we got coffee cake and a fruit pastry (both delicious) and today we got another coffee cake (my bf really likes them here) and I got their vanilla bean pull apart (it always sells out) , croissant and a cookie. We usually also get lattes, their lattes aren't anything special, but pastries and lattes go hand and hand. I promise you that this place is AMAZING and once you try it, it will become a Truckee staple, like it has for me! The girls working here are always sweet, they have a handful of chairs in the bakery to sit at and their is also a small breakfast kitchen next door, they is also pretty yummy. read more

The best bakery on the North Shore. I ordered a custom cake, and it came out so beautiful! I ordered over the phone, and the ladies working at Cornerstone couldn't be any sweeter. They were patient, accommodating, and made sure every detail wasn't overlooked. Very seamless transactions all around and couldn't have been happier with the most perfect cake to celebrate my sons baptism. Highly recommend for your next event! read more

What a great surprise! There are so many coffee shop /bakeries in Truckee and I have tried quite a few. I kind of stuck with the ones I knew. A colleague gave me a Ham and cheese croissant from here and I telling you...I really wish they had not. Now every morning it's what I want for breakfast. I'm not kidding. I am not sure if it Gruyère cheese or Swiss, but it's amazing. The ham has a slight smoked flavor and the texture is REAL ham. Not pressed. Finally there is no skimping on the butter for the croissant. Just perfect! No I've had croissants from all over the world, and one of the things that makes a croissant stand out is the number of folds in the amount of butter. The croissants here are just perfect. Here are a few things that I've tried: Ham and cheese croissant Chocolate croissant Everything croissant Mushroom Galette Mixed berry Galette Apple Galette Everything that I have tried here has been perfect. That is very rare in a bakery. As well, the employees are attentive friendly and fast. Everyone is so happy, I must imagine that the owner is a great person because everyone seems to enjoy working here. I know this is speculation, but it is rare to see so many happy workers. All I can say is good job. Keep it up Mr./Mrs. owner of CornerStone as I have found my favorite bakery. And this is a hard feat considering how many bakeries there are. And I have tried them all. Not sure if it's polite to name them. The ' Friday only' bakery, the one near the DMV. One down the street from them. The one on Jiboom. One Near the old Paul Mitchell... They all are good but, this is croissant heaven. Thank you very much read more

They advertise three or four beers, but had nothing in stock. They didn't have Coca-Cola ginger ale or anything else other than a fancy seltzer tasting like orange or tangerine or mango. The tables outside were filthy. One of the umbrellas didn't work and it was a very unpleasant experience. read more

The sweet bread is awful nothing like lou's bakery sweet bread and your pastry is to burnt sorry

This bakery is very busy! We picked up pan au chocolat, two cookies, a croissant, a blueberry coffee cake-like bread/bar, coffee, and a few other items that caught our eye, but don't remember what they are. The cookies were fantastic and definitely the highlight. If we ever come back, we will only get cookies -- and love every bite. read more

I stopped in here today and was very impressed with what I found. The staff were friendly but efficient (which is good because this place clearly gets busy, but I didn't have to wait long). I got an olive focaccia and a cookie for my son and I to split. Both were amazing! The coconut cookie is not something I would normally order, but this is one of the best cookies I've ever had in a long time. read more

The bread is nice, but overpriced. We ordered a sandwich to takeaway and it was $19 after tax, without a tip that was expected. The salad they added was old and much of it rotten, but the sandwich was tasty. Overall, pretty disappointing as we'd heard great things about the place. read more

Peach cobbler FOR THE WIN! Oh the ooey gooey tart sweet succulent peaches on the soft biscuit! Gaaahhh it makes me so sad not to live near this place. Park across the street in the lot for the quickest way to find a spot. Don't forget to pay within the required hours. Next door is their restaurant which has a restroom and a handful of tables inside. They do have tables outside but I believe that's only during the warm months. read more

Nice spot... food was good and interesting and fresh. Nice outside seating. Prices were reasonable . My sister was not too crazy about her Foccacia bread but other than that the cornerstone breakfast was good and double bacon sandwich was good. I wasn't too crazy about bacon jam in double bacon but I think that was just me not being crazy about a sweet jam in my sandwich. Overall it's a nice solid breakfast place. I think one of the best in Truckee. read more

If you're looking to order a birthday cake in Truckee, this is the spot! After finding a couple different bakeries in Truckee, only one was open and available a few days before the 4th of July holiday: Cornerstone! My partner and I stopped by one afternoon to see if we could order a birthday cake. We were given a sheet to fill out, which included a wide range of cake sizes, flavors, filling types, and frosting types! There was also a line to include a message and any special requests. I chose chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling, and whipped cream frosting. I was also able to request a small llama image. The team that helped us was very nice and listened to our requests! I absolutely love the end result - it might be one of my favorite birthday cakes I've had over the years! Considering we gave no instructions on what the llama should look like, I couldn't have asked for a cuter image. I also loved the added touch of the sprinkles! Even better, the cake was delicious! The slices were so tall (three layer cake) so there was plenty to enjoy (yay leftovers!). I was truly so sad to finish the cake; it made me smile every time I ate a slice! I can't wait for the next occasion to order a cake from Cornerstone Bakery! Can't recommend them enough! read more

Very delicious and cute little spot! We stopped in on our way out of town - about 12 pm and they still were putting fresh baked goods out for people to enjoy! We were helped promptly and the cashier was nice. The lemon bar was perfect and tart and gooey. There isn't much sitting space so if you get baked goods you might have to eat and walk but that is okay! read more

Coffee snob here. If you're looking for pastries, we tried the bread pudding and "Everything Croissant ", they were pretty good. I tried their strawberry bar and it wasn't that good, dry and not very flavorful I did ask what they recommended, "their best coffee", and was told their latte was good. My husband gave me a sip and it literally tasted like warm milk to me! Now I love my coffee and it barely tasted like coffee at all. Service was nice and place looks clean, but sadly we would not come back. read more
