First time visiting I was amazed at all the delicious looking desserts, cakes and pastries…read more I picked up a 6" Sicilian cake for a friend's birthday. $38 for their smallest cake is a little pricey but it was rich chocolate ganache. I don't know exactly what pistachio mousse tastes like but I wouldn't have guessed it was that if I hadn't read the description. I also couldn't taste the Frangelico that was supposed to be there. The cake looked pretty and tasted good but the birthday boy thought it was a little dry. The service at the counter was friendly and helpful. I think the next time I need a special cake I would try preordering. Some of their other flavors looked really good but they were out of stock.

Frangipane was alright. A little dry and light on the almond, but still decent…read more Love their cakes. Need to try more of their pastries

10am on a Saturday before it opened and a line was probably over 10 people. Parking in front is…read morelimited, but if you go past the lot there are more in the back. Plenty of things to look at while in line and even sample! I've only ever got pastries there but they have food made to order! Looks cute and cozy. Cinnamon roll was AMAZING! And honestly everything is around $6 which is pretty avg for gluten free. Limited indoor seating but it seemed a bit busy!

Why the HELL have I never been here?!…read more for starters, I have a really bad gluten sensitivity, and finding a place like this feels like an oasis. Immediately after coming in, you are greeted with a shelf of delicious gluten free goods, a freezer full of REAL gluten free bread. Not the doodoocaca stuff you can buy at the regular store. I'm talking baguettes and sh*t. But then that's not all. They have an entire menu that you can dive into and munch on if you are just looking for a quick bite. What the f*ck Mariposa, hell yeah!

After I dropped off my car at AJ's Auto repair shop on San Pablo Avenue, my husband and I headed to…read moreSweet Adeline Bakeshop to get something sweet. We both chose the cinnamon-pecan sticky bun, which were still warm. They were fantastic. I usually don't order these because they seem like they could be overly sweet, but couldn't resist because they looked so great. The only thing I would suggest is to bring a wet towelette if you're planning on eating it right away, because as their name says, they're sticky! :) Service was lovely, as always.

I am about as anti-vegan as they come, but the vegan chocolate chip cookies here are fantastic…read more I was attending a get together where are the host was vegan. She had picked up half a dozen of the vegan chocolate chip cookies from this place. I tried one very skeptically. And was completely blown away as to how good the cookie was. By virtual of being vegan, there is no butter, so I'm completely perplexed as to how they are able to get the cookie to come out. But it taste fantastic. Not too overly sweet. And pretty much taste like a normal cookie. After that experience, I went down a month later and got a couple of my own from the bake shop itself. The place is well decorated and homie. I'll be back!

This place has unique, outstanding cupcakes like you won't find anywhere else. We got these as a…read morebirthday gift and they were an automatic "wow!" Beautifully presented and taste to match. At $4.75 each or $54/dozen for standard size cupcakes, the price is a bit steep, but these also aren't just your regular supermarket cupcakes. They taste amazing, are beautifully presented, many are even filled, and you can tell they use high quality ingredients. They make the perfect gift for a special occasion. I'm a baker and am a bit of a cake snob. I've eaten some beautiful cupcakes and found the taste doesn't always match the look- but that's not the case here. Flavors are on point, frosting is delicious and cake is light and airy. Many of the cupcakes are even filled. I can see why the key lime pie one is a favorite- I think I like it better than the pie version! The frosting tastes like cheesecake and it even has the classic pie crust on bottom. The crème brûlée cupcakes were unique and a standout also. They also have a gluten free option and a couple vegan options. I ordered online and it was quick and easy to pick up towards the back of Swan's Market. Staff was quick & friendly. There aren't many places around to buy a good cupcake, and none quite like these. I highly recommend them and will be a repeat customer.

They are all good, but melons is my favorite by far. There is usually always a line, but they don't run out somehow. If you love cupcakes and haven't tried these trust me you need to! Cheers to the Cup of cakes here!

The other options will not look very enticing (or safe). I stopped in here to pick up some vegan cupcakes and was please to see the incredible number of options! Some were even gluten-free! This bakeshop had cakes for everyone! I picked up the following vegan cupcakes: -Blueberry Lavender -Red Velvet Raspberry -Earl Grey Chocolate But there were also regular red velvet, lemon and a few other vegan options as well. I would call ahead to see what feature flavors they are offering both regular and vegan. The cupcakes had great structure and crumb. They were a teeeeensy bit dry but that's what the frosting was for. All in all, every single cupcake was enjoyed to the fullest. The frosting also had great flavor too.

Thankfully, I was able to try a bit of the carrot, salted caramel, and lemon. All of them were delicious with the lemon being my personal favorite.

I needed 50 dozen cupcakes for a work event, 10 dozen gf/vegan at that. I emailed to see if they could accommodate a Sunday drop off and they gratefully agreed! This is truly above and beyond customer service that made my event not only elevated in flavor and aesthetic but logistically so much smoother than previous years. The owner delivered right on time and everything looked fantastic. Best gf/vegan cupcakes around. You cannot tell the difference!

I live in this neighborhood so I can get to Full Belly Bakery within a 15 minute walk. There are a…read morebunch of different bakery options in the area, this place is added to the mix. They're in a location that used to be a Subway. I've only have their cookies, I'm a sucker for good cookies. I particularly recommend their Peanut Butter Miso (a flavor I don't think you can get at a lot of places, sweet savory), and Ginger Molasses. I've also been supporting them because they're part of the Rewards Network Dining. I subscribe to the program to get Alaska/Atmos points on qualified dining, and I'm trying to get as many points as I can, so dining with restaurants as part of that program is helpful. You can order full cakes as well as they have slices avaialble for purchase. I got a tiramisu slice for my mom, which she said she liked. Good addiiton to the neighorhood.

I'm a total cake lover, so I was excited to try Full Belly bakery. I was surprised to see that it…read morewas not a full service bakery, and there was no inside seating. Their primary focus appears to be on their special order cakes-which look amazing. The woman at the counter was friendly and helpful. After asking a few questions, I decided on the Passion Coco cake($5) and the Brown Sugar Pecan scone ($3.50). I enjoyed the Passion Coco cake slice. The coconut, passion fruit, and strawberry flavors worked well together, although the passion fruit flavor was very subtle. The sponge was cake moist, and the butter cream was spot on with its melt-in-your-mouth creamy texture. The Brown Sugar Pecan scone was good, but it had more of a dense muffin texture than a traditional scone, and the flavors were a bit muted. They did not skimp on the pecans though, which was nice. I would have enjoyed bolder flavors and a more traditional scone texture. Overall, I found that the walk in options are limited, but a great spot for locals to stop in and pick up tasty baked goods-and I would definitely order one of their beautiful and delicious looking cakes for a special occasion.

I had to update my review because Gregory's is absolutely the best bakery in town!…read more First of all, Gregory is incredibly kind, and his desserts are AMAZING. A few years ago, there was definitely a dip in communication when I was trying to order a birthday cake, but since then, I've had the pleasure of enjoying Gregory's treats many times. His cheesecake is truly unlike any I've ever had. The chocolate brownies and chocolate chip cookies are so good, they'll make you feel like you're not even on planet Earth! Seriously, they're that delicious. And the chocolate cake? It tastes like it was baked by a sweet Southern grandmother. It literally melts in your mouth. I'm almost embarrassed to admit that every time I go, I buy all four items and happily eat them over the next few days! Hands down, Gregory's is the BEST BAKERY IN OAKLAND. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out!

What did I do in my life for my taste buds to experience such gloriousness?! I usually don't eat…read moretwo desserts in one sitting, but BOTH the Snickerdoodle & Peach Cobbler were calling my name! Neither one of them made it home... You best believe I'll be back to try the Sweet Potato Cake & Peach Cobbler Cheesecake. I can't even imagine what BOTH cobbler and cheesecake would taste like married together?! There's only street parking and there's a garage right across the street. The bakery is definitely hidden and located downstairs/underground. Try not to miss it when driving!
