Stopped by here because who doesn't love pastries? The store is cute and clean, I love the display cases. I bought an almond croissant and a berry scone. Location is in a strip mall with ample parking. The berry scone was insanely big! The flavors were incredible, probably the best scone I've ever had. The croissant was delicious and perfectly buttery and crispy. I will definitely be back to try more pastries! read more

East Bay Bakery is a to-go only bakery (no seating). It has a variety of pastries and often has different items each time I go there. Although the prices are a bit high, sometimes they have day old pastries if you're looking for a bargain! Staff is usually friendly as well. read more

TLDR TIP: Don't go right when they open! Limited pastries available. One thing I've noticed consistently is that if you go right when they open or within the first hour of them opening, they have a limited number of pastries available. They always have scones ready, which is my favorite, but everything else is hit or miss on whether it will be ready. Last time I went, I got there 10 min after they opened and they only had some scones, gf muffins, almond croissant, chocolate almond croissant, and a croissant fruit toast. Totally get that it's a small mom-and-pop shop but there are many of those around here that have a decent selection when they open and open earlier. Just find it a bit odd...but the quality is great nonetheless. read more

Good bakery in the heart of danville! Good selection of breads and good prices. Very friendly staff and great ambiance. Good spot to get your bread read more

I first discovered this bakery at the Walnut Creek farmers market--they had a booth there, and I decided to try a croissant. One bite and I was hooked. It was the perfect amount of flaky, fluffy, and crunchy. As soon as I found out they had a storefront, I knew I had to check it out, so I visited and I got the OG Blonde and dark chocolate cookie- I'm not a huge sweets person but this cookie was the best cookie I've ever had (I had to return for 2 more cookies). The coarse salt on top is the perfect addition and evens out the sweetness. I can't wait to try more of their items! read more

East Bay Bakery is an absolute gem and one of the best spots in the area for freshly baked pastries. I've been coming here every weekend with my daughter and it's become our favorite little tradition. Everything they make is incredibly flavorful and baked fresh daily you can truly taste the quality and care in every bite. Their scones are buttery and tender, the danishes are perfectly flaky, and the apple pastries are just out of this world. The staff is always welcoming and friendly, which makes every visit feel personal and warm. Yes, the prices are a bit higher than average, but you can tell they use premium ingredients, and honestly, every bite proves it's worth every penny. read more

We came in Sunday around 1pm and wanted to get a loaf of bread. It's disappointed to find out they don't have slicer. We ended up getting a chocolate croissant and 2 pain sussie. They both are below average. $21 for three pastries are not flakey. I even warmed it in an oven. They taste more like bread than croissant. read more

My family and I are obsessed with this bakery. We have not been to the storefront so I can't speak on behalf of that but they are at the Walnut Creek farmers market every Sunday and we get pastries and bread almost every week. The olive bread is insane. They use whole olives and the saltiness of them balances out the bread so well. The bread is sooo soft and it's honestly perfect. This and the almond croissants are dangerous to have in our house because they don't make it half a day before it's devoured. Best almond croissant around. They slice it in half and FILL it with their filling so you enjoy the filling in every bite. The croissant itself is the perfect amount of flakiness. It's soft and buttery too. We also enjoy their cookies! The bakery has a ton of different things to try. I love the selection. Everything is made fresh with what seems to be very high, good quality ingredients. Highly recommend! read more

So glad to see them at the Walnut Creek farmers market now and not just in their store fronts my go to is still the pastrami and cheese croissant! It's just perfection! -also their chocolate chip cookie! Is my must get once a week! read more

Interesting bakes but not worth the $8-$9 price point. Most of the bakes in SF are similarly priced and it's really cute how the cafe is East Bay repping. Got the Kouign Aman, Almond Croissant, Basque Cheesecake and another pastry with crème and plums, they were fluffy and the almond croissant was flaky but not notable compared to others. Cheesecake was okay, but not worth the price point nor drive as it is a far ways off. read more

I have been coming to this bakery for a couple of years - particularly for their blonde chocolate chip cookies which were to die for. I really liked their kouign aman and croffle as well. However it seems they started using some strong cleaner. Every-time I come into the bakery I am overwhelmed with the smell of this cleaner. Additionally I can taste the cleaning product in most, if not all of their products now, which is really off putting. I just picked up a croffle, cookies, kouign aman, and croistock and each pastry seemed to taste of their cleaning product which was disappointing as I once loved coming here. It wasn't just a once off experience either. It seems every time I reattempt this bakery I can taste the cleaner which sucks because their products were quite good before. I am sensitive but even my boyfriend could taste it. So, be warned. Pretty please change your cleaning products read more

Bakery had a good selection, location is super convenient, but the lady this morning was not friendly at all and had an attitude. Not a welcoming environment, especially so early in the morning. I haven't tried the baked goods here, but picked up a variety for a client, hopefully it is good. read more

The lady that helped me today had a bad attitude. Very few items were in the display when I walked in. Something caught my eyel and I asked the employee what kind of pastery that is and she told me. I asked what was inside the pastry and she gave me attitude and said nothing was inside. No need to be condescending. Im not a pastry psychic. God never granted me the ability to deternine which pasteries had apple or cream cheese, or nothing at all. For the high prices, I would expect friendlier service. Not coming back. read more

A little disappointing. The Baguette was kinda doughy inside, not light and airy as it should be. Didn't take butter well as it should. The almond croissant was nice. Sizeable but expensive at $6. Difficult to find parking. The staff as friendly. I'm sticking with Mason Benoit. read more

I am a new fan of this bakery. Let me preface this. My family have our own two bakeries in the San Jose area. They have a phenomenal reputation for quality and my opinion of this East Bay bakery will be complementary to our expectations. I give them a five star for the quality of their baked goods And so far what I have sampled has been excellent. The layers in the croissants are phenomenal and the taste is yummy. I have tried it three times and have found it to be very consistent. I will consistently come by and pick up some baked goods often. The only thing I wish they had was longer hours during the Week But the day that they do have long hours I will just have to wait till then or hit him up on the weekend in the morning as they will run out very quickly so thank you and looking forward to doing business with you. read more

I tried the garlic cream cheese bread and the passion fruit kouign-amann. It was on the pricy side but I guess expected for the area. Glad I read other reviews warning that the cream cheese was somewhat sweet. The garlic flavor is strong though. I only take comfort in the fact that I supported a small/local business, but the whole time while eating I thought, "Regrets. I wish I went to Paris Baguette instead." read more

The almond fruit croissant thing is amazing! The pastries also quite good. But why do you not have coffee? Even a canned cold coffee with ice is better than no coffee. Had to go to McDonald's for a drink..... read more

Pros: Great bakery, high quality items, friendly staff Cons: Expensive, don't come early, they do not seem to open on time. read more

This is a great bakery place to stop by. My hubby and I like their bakery goods and kuih. Their kuih was delicious and not overly sweet! We had curry puff, garlic cream cheese, and kouign amann. The garlic cream cheese taste so full of garlic. Anyway, they're so delicious! The only con is the location is quite deep inside. read more

I took a leap of faith and pre-ordered apple pie for thanksgiving without having tried any of their baked goods prior. I do have to say that the 4 stars come from the ease of ordering online and pick up. it was so seamless! The pie was good, but unfortunately there was no "wow" factor for me that makes me want to go back. Although I am open to trying other pastries if I'm ever in the area. read more

Hmm...I'm not convinced it was worth the drive out from Moraga, but the kaya croissant was yummy and the chocolate chip cookie was alright. It was around 1 o'clock and they were already sold out of most of their stuff. I was hoping for a curry pastry, but no luck! Maybe next time! read more

We try again about once every six months bc it is very near our house. This time the pastries were noticeably smaller & not as well made, for the same or higher prices. I wish they could get it right at this bakery! We'd be regular customers. Overpriced for the quality & size, and there is a lack of consistency in the products, they don't have everything ready in the mornings. It's been 3 years & they still don't offer coffee to have with your pastry. They haven't improved. read more

I really wanted to like East Bay Bakery, and I've tried it three times to be sure, but the execution just falls flat. The pastries are dense, greasy, and overly sweet, made with what tastes like low-quality commercial butter. The high prices don't match the quality. I can't help but compare it to Maison Benoit in Danville, where the pastries are exceptional and justify the cost. East Bay Bakery's prices seem driven by location rather than quality. I won't be returning. read more

4++ I saw this pop up on my radar when I'm staying at my parents place in San Ramon. I looked it up, and it seemed like they were showing up at farmers markets as well with their brick and mortar at a strip mall in the Danville / Blackhawk area. Super nice smallish bakery with lots of bakeries available. I came here one morning and ordered pastries for me and my parents. The folks here very friendly and helpful. Everything we had was very tasty and fresh and super well made. Nice flakey crust and delicious fillings. If you want to go with them or savory her out, the garlic cream cheese was delicious. I totally recommend and it's such a nice addition to this area. Definitely would come back the next time I'm in the area. I also want to try that waffle croissant thing that they have. read more

The minute I stepped in, I knew it was love at first sniff. The overwhelming desire to buy everything came over me (and luckily, we nearly did since I was in good company). So, whoever didn't rate this bakery 5 stars is out of their gourd because a lot of love and care went into their baked goods, and you can taste it. The bread and Croissants are the perfect balance between crisp and flake. The consistency is just right, and the flavor is absolutely delicious! Their ability to maintain the perfect balance of sweet and savory is impressive since it's not easy to do. I also really liked the customer service here. The staff works hard but at the same time manages to juggle customers gracefully while being attentive. I think the prices are very fair, especially considering the quality of baked goods! If you haven't tried this place yet, go on over and give it a try. You will not be disappointed! ‍ read more

Overpriced when you can get the same quality at a sit-down cafe in Danville. They make good bakery but the prices are just too high when you can't even have it there. Rent may be high, but people always have many other bakery choices in the Tri Valley. Reduce your prices and you will have more customers. read more

A lovely local business that I will visit over and over again! Stopped by on my way to Mount Diablo & pleasantly impressed. Staff is friendly. Baking area is visible to customers & is spotless! Croffle had an amazing crunch on the outside & soft on the inside. Almond croissant filling was creamy and divine. I can't wait to come back and try all the other yummy treats! read more

Yummy yummy yummy! Blackhawk needed another spot open early in the mornings! Reasons why u should try it- PLENTY OF PARKING SPACES FRESH Pastries baked right before you arrive. (Nothing frozen) Make sure to try the pastrami and cheese croissant that was delicious! I usually get ham and cheese everywhere so it was a nice change. (I heated it up at home :) ) Very clean inside as well.. note this isn't a cafe so there's no outdoor / indoor seating. Perfect for on the go if you want something quick! read more

4.5/5 Update: almond croissant is better now and more consistent than the competitors (downtown). Hands down! I know what was said previously and they changed for the better on the almond croissant. I been going consistently once a week and it has been consistently great. One thing I have to add, that I've finally tired is the pastrami and cheese croissant. I know this is a popular item because it's constantly sold out. You must try the pastrami and cheese croissant, you will not be disappointed! read more

I have heard so many great things about this bakery, and I'm finally glad I was able to try them. They finally have a brick and mortar location and not just their farmers market stands. I went to their bakery location and all the employees were so patient, helpful, and sweet. The young woman helping me was so polite and helped me choose the different pastries. I got one box for my house and one box for a family friend. Every single item we have tried has been DELICIOUS!! The one item I was most excited to try was the Pastrami and Cheese Croissant. I've grown up loving ham and cheese croissants, but 7 years ago I stopped eating pork. That was one item I really missed, as all places always have ham and cheese if they do have savory croissants. I was over the moon to hear they had pastrami instead of ham. This was by far the tastiest and flavorful savory croissant I have ever had! In fact, the pastrami had way more flavor than ham has ever had. The pastrami inside wasn't overwhelming and had a great balance of cheese and meat. The croissant was buttery and flaky! My waistline will hate me now that I have discovered it! My family scarfed down the almond croissants and they loved them. The Kouign-amann was out of this world and not overly sweet. It was so flaky on the outside, but a nice moist texture inside. Get the garlic cream cheese roll!! It was garlicky and cheesy, but with a hint of sweet. I actually ended up sprinkling some salt on it only because I wanted a salty flavor, but it was absolutely delicious the way it was. If you can, also try it warmed up in the microwave for 20 seconds. I had a little piece of it warmed up and it did not disappoint. However, it's tasty at room temperature as well. I can't wait to try the other pastries, but if they're anything like all the ones we have tried so far, I'm sure they'll be just as mind blowing. read more

Very unhappy with our Thanksgiving Apple Pie today. When we picked up the $55.00 pie, I was shocked it looked nothing like the photo. We had one 2 years ago and it was GREAT! Today the Pie was not only small, there was such a small amount of apples in it we could hardly find them. Quality has gone down. This was once our go to bakery, sadly things have changed. read more

This bakery is just so good. The turkey, Swiss cheese croissant is so flakey and delicious. I love their fruit and cream cheese pastries as well. And their cheesecake is out of this world. Not too overly sweet and I love the crust. if you haven't tried, it, you need to go! read more

Rude staff!!! Went there at 930a - which is 30 mins after opening and they are sold out of many things. Ask them if they are going to be baking new stuff - Rudely the staff member says no... I can literally see another lady in the back making a batch. Front counter person doesn't want to help out. Borderline racism behavior in this place - they seem to go above and beyond for caucasians but not for anything else. read more

Tried 2 of the pastries kouign Amman and they were really yummy! I especially liked the one that was filled with strawberries. They run out so make sure you go early. A little pricey but delicious read more

Maybe it was the time we came, but it was slim pickings when I came here. Only had a few selections left and the workers did not even know what they were. I asked them what was inside one of the pastries and they straight up were like "I don't know". Smh, I just got a plain croissant and the apple danish. Both were not very good. Pretty bland for laminated pastry, especially the one that should taste like apple. In a plaza with a lot of chaotic parking. I do not remember what I paid for but maybe I would try this place again in the far future. Maybe the best time to have a good experience is to come when they first open? read more

Happy to have this spot nearby. The choices of bread and pastries are amazing. You can great different varieties of croissants, bread for sandwiches or a baguette to pair with a salad for dinner. The cookies are good, some better than others depending on flavor. Pricing is in line with other small bakeries so expect to spend around $10 for a couple of items. read more

Good selection if you go early. Some items are very overpriced but willing to support a small business that is down the street. Croffle is the best out of the three items I purchased. Will return to try more. read more
