Highly recommended! My favorite was the red velvet cupcake. The bread was moist and the frosting…read morewas creamy but not super sweet. We also bought 5 other cupcakes: flour less chocolate, regular chocolate, strawberry, lemon, and coconut. They are worth the cost. Parking can be limited, you need to look for street parking. They do sell candles in case you forgot to buy some. However, there is a party store close by across the street, if you want to have more options. The staff was friendly and the store is nice and cold. Feels super good especially in a hot summer weather!

I've never been the type of person to buy cupcakes/cake at a shop.....I like simple homemade cakes…read more So keep that in mind while reading my review haha. We finally stopped by to try a cupcake (for a quality check). The shop is really cute and popular! Service was super friendly. All the desserts look great! Price for 1 cupcake was fair. The cake itself was good but was too light and airy for me. It was crumbling apart as we ate. I prefer a dense cake with some weight. The cupcake we had was light as a feather haha. PB frosting was good though. So it just depends on personal preference with cake!

Wow! We were surprised how good the mango cake that we got. They wrapped it so nicely…read more Also, they have different pastries that reminds me of 85 degrees. But this place is much better.

Ask a staff member to purchase cakes. My order: Ube Mochi Danish ($4.65): +This reminded me more of a pineapple bun vs a danish, with its crunchy top & soft bread. +Ube was smooth and mochi was chewy -As someone who orders drinks w/reduced sweetness, I thought the bread was bland and could be a touch sweeter. -Unfortunately, they don't provide you with an actual bag or sleeve to hold your bread. My item was placed in a paper cone. Durian Pull Apart Bread ($6.20): +Even though there was a cloud of powdered sugar, it was surprisingly not too sweet! +The packaging was so cute with the cartoon & Chinese message. -I was expecting something lighter & fluffy, but it was on the denser side. It reminded me more of crumb cake than bread. -Lacked durian filling *My fave for durian buns is in SF Chinatown Side notes: 1.) Self-serve napkins and water 2.) Paper bags are 25 cents 3.) Indoor seating 4.) Walking distance from San Mateo Caltrain station *Verdict: I thought the items I tried looked better than they tasted, but if I was in the area, I wouldn't mind stopping by to try something else.

First time trying this out, my friends told me these cookies are delicious... well they were right,…read morethe cookies were so good! This shop is small, the service was great and I liked how they also write down on their menu if they are low on cookies and how many are left. They also have a small oven where you can WARM UP YOUR COOKIE(S)! Such a great idea, highly recommend checking this place out for their cookies.

We stop by Antoine's almost every time we're in San Mateo to pick up a cookie. My boyfriend and I…read morehave slowly been working our way through the menu and trying a different cookie each time. The cookies are consistently good--crispy around the edges, soft in the center, and slightly chewy. They're sweet, of course, but not overly sugary or overwhelming. I also appreciate that there's a microwave inside so you can warm up your cookie. So far, we haven't tried a cookie we didn't like. It's become one of our favorite spots to grab a treat, and we'll keep coming back until we've made our way through the entire menu.

Was visiting from Chicago and happened to walk past this place and it looked great so I decided to…read morewalk in. They have a ton of amazing looking baked goods. I asked the worker what some of their top baked goods are - I ended up going with the Banana Bread, a peanut oat chocolate bar and their chocolate chip cookie. Love that everything is homemade and fresh here. I would come back for the banana bread - it was seriously amazing! The other two options were alright.

I recently tried a chocolate cupcake from The Cake Shop in San Mateo at a friend's birthday, and…read moreunfortunately I was really disappointed. The cupcake itself was quite dry, and the buttercream had an overwhelming buttery taste rather than the smooth, creamy, silky texture I expected from a professional bakery. There was also very little frosting on top, which made the presentation look unfinished. I'm honestly relieved this wasn't for my son's birthday, because I would have been extremely disappointed. I really wanted to love it, but it just didn't meet the quality I hoped for.

Prompt communication by email made it easy to get this cake ordered while dealing with other things…read more(at work!) It was well packed in a sturdy box for transport. This tall cake served twenty easily (I sliced it in two layers), and was an enormous hit with the newly four year old. The adults loved the chocolate cookie "hole" construction site, everyone wanted to know where it was from. The flavor and texture of the chocolate cake was excellent, much much better than a store cake. I had low expectations for the frosting flavor given the decorations and past experience with kid birthday cakes but this was outstanding. Overall a huge hit and well worth the price for what was also the perfect centerpiece for the table. I will happily reorder from this bakery whenever we need an event cake, it was just so easy and so rewarding.

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!
