I was very satisfied with my custom cake order from Mr. Baker for my 24th birthday! I ordered a 6-inch matcha cake with matcha filling and strawberries, and it turned out absolutely perfect. All I had to do was email the baker, send a few inspo pics, and share my desired flavor--she was on it right away! The whole process was so easy and smooth. Everyone was super nice and easy to work with, which made the experience even better. And the cake... SO good!! Everyone at the party kept going back for more. I'll definitely be ordering again in the future. Also, I liked how the payment process was simple--I paid half when ordering and the other half at pickup. Highly recommend! read more

New place - clean open inviting place with lots of pastry choices - and drinks - nice place to sit and enjoy your sweet snack- but... I got my cake to go - unfortunately cake was dry and did not meet my expectations based on all the aesthetic pieces I seen out on display- I think I just made a bad choice and will give it a try a 2nd time around - and maybe get a little something to eat there ! To be continued..... for now it' is a must try!!!! read more

I wanted to give Mr Baker another try after not being impressed the first time--and honestly, it was a mix of hits and misses. The only items I really liked were the turkey, Swiss cheese, and jalapeño pastry--it had great flavor and was super satisfying--and the pistachio-filled puff/muffin roll, which was a 10/10 and definitely the standout. I did try a few other desserts, but they were all disappointing, around a 1/10 for me. The chocolate croissant was just okay, nothing special. The strawberry matcha was still a big fail even on the second try--the flavor, texture, and presentation were all off. The place itself has a cute, trendy, and clean aesthetic, which I appreciated. But the employees seemed overwhelmed, which kind of affected the overall experience. Overall, I'd say it's just an okay bakery. I'd only go back for the few items I actually enjoyed read more

Mr. Baker has many beautiful and tasty pastries and cakes. I personally enjoy their slice of tres leches cake as it has a delicious flavor. Their carrot cake is also pretty good as it has a lot of nuts and a delicious cream cheese frosting in the middle. The tiramisu was delicious as well. My only critique is that in general Mr. Baker's cake base has a slight grainy texture instead of a fluffy light texture. The inside has a lot of tables and chairs for people to sit and study. The workers are very friendly and knowledgeable about their pastries. read more

Mr Baker - Bakeries Near Me - Riverside, California

First time visiting Mr Baker Bakery. It has its own parking lot so it wasn't hard to find parking. First impression when entering the store was that it was clean and they have a nice area for people to study or hang out to have sweets. There was a diverse amount of pastries that look good and a good selection of drinks. Prices for them is a little pricey, but the cake slices are big. What I tried: - Napoleon cake- Cream on it was rich, but with the bigger slice, the taste of the cake has more flakiness. Wasn't good for me. - Tiramisu Latte- This drink was good and wouldn't mind getting it again, but could have been better with more espresso flavor. Overall, I wouldn't mind trying this place more and maybe see if there is anything else I would like. read more

I visited Mr. Baker in Riverside, and it's a really nice café if you're looking for a place to grab pastries or sit down to study. One thing I will say is that their pastries are really good, but they do lean a little on the pricier side. That being said, the quality is definitely there and everything looked really fresh and well made. I also tried their Matcha Tiramisu drink, which looked really good at first. The presentation was nice and it seemed like it would have a strong matcha flavor. However, after mixing it and taking a few sips, it mostly tasted like milk. I even asked if they could add a little more matcha, and they were very nice about it and added more for me, but it still ended up tasting pretty milky overall. It was a little disappointing for a drink that costs $6.50, especially if you're hoping for a stronger matcha flavor. Even though the drink wasn't exactly what I expected, the staff were really kind and accommodating, which I appreciated a lot. The café itself is also very spacious and open, making it a great place for people who want to study, work on their laptops, or just hang out for a while. The environment feels calm and comfortable, and there's plenty of seating so it doesn't feel cramped. Another thing I really liked was how cute and aesthetically pleasing the food and drinks look. It's definitely the kind of place where the presentation makes it fun to take photos before eating. If you enjoy taking tasteful aesthetic pictures of pastries and drinks, this is a really nice spot for that as well. read more

New bakery in town!!! This location is on Magnolia and it happens to be on the way home for me after working out at LA Fitness. HAHAHA. So I tried it and it was quite a good experience. They offer a wide selection of fresh pastries, cakes, and desserts. I got one of their buttery croissants and a slice of Black Forest chocolate cake. I figured why not treat myself as I had already gone and worked out for an hour. Let me tell you it was worth every bite and calorie. It is definitely Asian inspired as all the sweets are light, fresh, and tasty. Not that heavy sugar creamy taste that non Asian bakeries are. As for prices, they are quite decent. I also got a cappuccino that paired well with my buttery croissant and chocolate cake. The staff were friendly and welcoming when I stopped in and introduced their store and also gave some good recommendations. I wasn't in the macaron mood but looking at the various flavors I will definitely stop by again and try it. They even had pet treats for sale as well so its definitely pet friendly! Glad I stopped in as the overall service and variety make it a nice local spot for dessert, coffee, or a sweet celebration treat. Decent size parking lot in the front and lots of indoor dining tables where you can sit and enjoy your treats and with the wi-fi password, looks like its an OK to study or watch movies here. read more

Mr. Baker is exactly what the name says a bakery store. I went in and ordered a coffee which was decent but not amazing. I also ordered their jalapeño ham croissant and it was delicious. The girls behind the counter are very nice and prompt and the inside of the business is very clean and minimalist. I like the windows allow for brightness as you can tell it is clean inside and welcoming. Lots and lots of options to choose from to eat whether it be cake muffins, croissants, etc. etc. I will be back for the food but not the drinks! read more

We somehow managed to avoid this place for months upon its recent opening. But today, the willpower came to a crashing halt. The pastries and cakes are a sight to behold, and the interior, while fairly stark in decor, has more than a few tables to seat yourself and nibble. There is coffee, too. We usually go nuts in a place like this. Our freezer is well stocked. But shockingly, I chose only one pastry, a huge Pistachio Cruffin. My decision was based on observing another customer buying two of these behemoths. Unabashed, I asked if she had tried them before. Not only did she respond with a sheepish "yes", but her eyes got bigger as she confessed this is her son's favorite and he can eat one of these singlehandedly. That was all I needed to hear. I am currently nibbling on my half (since Mr B decided I should share) while writing this, and I totally get it. It is 5-star good. It fulfills my dream of an elegant croissant. The creamy filling with chopped pistachio, is dreamy and not overly sweet, something I really appreciate. It has a $7 price tag, but is worth it in quality, not to mention quantity, since it is so sharable. Based on this introduction, I would not hesitate to give more of their freshly baked goods a try. There are other creative renditions of croissants in their display, some sweet, others savory, not to mention gorgeous cakes (whole or by the slice), muffins, pastries, cinnamon rolls, and cookies. Pricey, but good. You really should check them out. read more

Huge variety of items including croissants, full cakes, and creme brule that is torched to order. I decided on 2 cupcakes at $4.75 each, which felt steep for a regular sized cupcake. The Black Forest cupcake was a knock out! It was a chocolate cupcake filled with maraschino cherries, and topped with icing and chocolate curls. I would definitely to try another, or maybe even try a slice of the Black Forest cake. The Pistachio cupcake was underwhelming. The cake did not have any flavor and felt dyed green just for show. read more

Mr Baker - Site crashes... - Bakeries Near Me - Riverside, California

Good, but pricey. I understand it's a bakery, they're not mass producing premade junk, but $3.75 for a croissant just feels steep. Idk, maybe I'm cheap in this economy. It's probably standard for a bakery. Not the end of the world if you want a sweet treat but it adds up when you're trying to feed multiple people. I got 4 tarts, 2 chocolate croissants and a butter croissant for $27. Pasties were good though! The plain croissant had a hint of sweetness to it, not sure how I feel about that. Idk if I would crave or run for them but if you want a real bakery treat, it's one of the only places in the area I can think of, aside from Simple Simon and have fun dealing with parking there. Lots of room inside to hangout and enjoy your pasties or drinks, easy parking. read more

Mr Baker - $27, (2) chocolate croissants, 1 plan croissant, 2 raspberry tarts, a lemon tart and a pecan tart - Bakeries Near Me - Riverside, California

Mr. Baker has SO many treats available, including cookies, muffins, croissants, AND chilled treats like creme brûlée, mini tarts, macarons, and cakes. Out of everything I tried, I liked their strawberry croissant best. I loved how flaky the exterior was and the cream was delicious. Something was off about their matcha croissant, the matcha cream had a bitter almost sour taste to it. I also tried their tiramisu matcha latte. Besides the ladyfinger that came with the latte, the latte didn't really ~give~ tiramisu. The cream top just tasted like ordinary vanilla cold foam. The matcha itself was also not strong and overall tasted milky. Even though Mr. Baker fell flat when it came to matcha, I'd definitely come back to try new sweet treats. (RIP Dragon house) read more

Yum!!! I stopped in for the first time and I enjoyed my strawberry matcha latte with almond milk, and a ham and Swiss croissant!! Filling for a quick breakfast bite and the matcha hit the spot! Nothing I ordered disappointed and I would love to come back and enjoy other menu items! I watched other patrons pic up their orders and you can tell how much they enjoyed their orders and it made me want to order more... But!! I'll just have to come back another time! They have their own parking areas around their building and the dining areas are spacious. The lines here are always long but it moved quickly!! You'll have a host taking food orders and heating them up and as you make your way to the register, that's where you order your drinks and pay for entire order. Definitely a place to stop in for brunch, coffee, or dessert! read more

Everything is good that I have purchased. Not sure they understand what a croissant should be like though . But their system for ordering needs an overhaul! If you want a drink it's really dumb the way they make you get all the way up to the front of the line to place the drink order after they have already taken your pastry order . Lots of people roaming around behind the counter not helping at all . read more

Imagine a group of sugar-hungry detectives huddled over a dessert lineup... that's basically me and my kids at Mr. Baker. We ordered cheesecake, tarts, and cupcakes, chopped everything into tiny samples, counted down from 3 like we were defusing a frosting bomb, and taste-tested at the same time. Cheesecakes were rich and creamy. The tarts were miniature pies. The pistachio cream was delightfully nutty w actual ground pistachios.... respect!! But the pistachio cupcake stole my heart and probably a chunk of my daily calorie allowance. Also got a latte and a strawberry matcha which were also good. Spotless place, friendly staff, and zero judgment about our taste testing activities. Always a good time!! read more

RIP to Dragon House; what has taken over is a big white building. My mom and I were driving down the road and saw this big white thing at the corner of the shopping center. I remembered seeing it on social media - so we decided to pull in and take a peak inside. Parking is located in front and on the side of the building. Once you walk in there are a few tables along the left side and the display case of goods and register on the right. We weren't really in the mood for anything so i can't review on their quality or taste. They do offer a wide range of pastries and cakes. What I did notice is the price; They are more expensive that 85 bakery. Is it worth the price i'm not sure..but it did not look like it. read more

For some reason, I thought this was an Asian bakery but it is not. They just have your typical cakes and baked goods. I got a variety of things to try and nothing stood out. Luckily they weren't too sweet but it feels a little pricey for what it is. I think you are better off at an 85, for the price and flavors like taro, ube, mochi, and tea. The tarts and cake I got were just not memorable. read more

We stopped by on a Sunday. The only complaint is the parking lot. It's kind of small and you feel like you're going to get hit. The place itself was clean and simple. They had a bunch of desserts and goodies for showcase. I'm not a big dessert person because I don't like things too sweet. My son got the s'mores bar and my husband got the almond croissant. I tried the almond croissant and it was really good. The chrispy flakiness was great, very light. My son finished his before I had a bite but we would go back to try other goodies. read more

First visit - came in for some birthday treats to take home. We ordered lots of things - lemon bar, chocolate deluxe slice, chocolate mousse slice, napoleon, and tiramisu slice. The best of those was the tiramisu and the lemon bar. Sadly the rest were not great - oddly didn't have flavor and no sweetness. And they're not that cheap so it was a bummer. Our friends ordered their own variety box too as well as 2 matcha lattes which were forgotten to be made. So we waited there for a while until one of the workers asked what was going on... Overall, it was ok - maybe new enough that there are still kinks to be worked out. Seemed like a super young staff too. And the interior was interesting - like minimalist and white/wood theme. Not sure if I'd visit again but it's not completely crossed off. read more

Mr. Baker First impressions: long line. After I got to the counter the display cases showcased their cakes and tarts. I was interested in their croissants and cookies. Atmosphere: 4 stars on the looks. Not as casual as it could be. I got the vibes of crispy creme donuts with the line. Customer service: 5 stars for excellence. The staff was clean and helpful as they could reasonably be expected. Value: 3 Stars. Kind of expensive. It is a niche market with elite baking of cakes and such. Regardless I was hoping for an across the menu level of dollar per quality. Instead, I experienced winners and losers. Quality: 4 stars for the hit or miss. 5 stars for the strawberry and creme croissant 3 stars for the buttered croissant 4 stars for the chocolate chip cookie. It tasted light but with quality ingredients. I must confess that I did, yet, sample the cake. read more

Let me just say...I came for "a little treat" and left questioning every dessert I've ever had before this. First of all, the red velvet cupcake? Moist. Fluffy. Dramatic in the best way. That cream cheese frosting was not shy, it showed up, showed out, and sat perfectly on top like it knew it was the star. The cookies and cream cupcake had me in a full emotional spiral. That frosting was whipped to perfection and topped with an actual cookie like it was wearing a crown. It tasted like childhood and luxury had a baby. And the pistachio cupcake?? Oh. My. Goodness. That subtle nutty flavor was smooth, classy, and just sweet enough. It's giving "I have my life together" energy. I didn't even know I needed pistachio in cupcake form until now. Now let's talk about this white chocolate macadamia latte. Listen... whoever decided to combine white chocolate and macadamia deserves a raise. It was creamy, perfectly sweet, and gave me the exact caffeine boost I needed to continue making questionable decisions (like ordering three cinnamon rolls). Speaking of... the cinnamon rolls. I don't regret it. Not even a little. Soft, gooey, cinnamon-swirled perfection. The icing melted just right and basically said, "You deserve this." And honestly? I did. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and dangerously good. I went in thinking I'd sample... I left plotting my return. 10/10 for the service and the treats. No notes. Just stretchy pants and gratitude. read more

I get the spinach artichoke pastry often but this time it has little plastic hairs or plastic bits that look like thin strings. One thin plastic bristle looking thing inside the pastry.

It was my favorite. read more

Mr. Baker you don't disappoint us with your baked goods. They are delicious especially the croissants and coffe cakes, yum . We even got couple of cupcakes for our furry kids and they loved it! We were there around 3 PM and the crowds were down already, very relaxing. Just a suggestion for the drinks, please notify customers in advance when ordering, that certain mixes have dairy in it. Yes, you do have milk options non dairy's, however the strawberry topping has cream (the barista confirmed). read more

I've been here a few times already so I added a few photos from different visits. I will say I'm happy we have a nice dessert spot with so much variety so close by now! The first time I went I was overwhelmed & excited by the many options. I had bought the tiramisu, the matcha cake, 2 macaroons and an iced matcha. Everything was delicious besides the matcha. The foam itself was so good but the drink just tasted like straight up milk. I actually was not happy with it. The presentation was pretty so I had high expectations but in the end I didn't enjoy it. I ended up throwing it away. The second time I went back I tried the Oreo cake and ordered another macaroon. So good!! I'll definitely keep coming back, I just don't think I'll ever order another matcha here lol. Also like that it is spacious inside and has room for you to sit & enjoy your desserts. :) read more

This place looks like they just opened and really needs to be redecorated. With the amount of customers always there, it seems like it should be a little nicer inside.

Finally got a chance to visit this place since it's opening day. Since it is Christmas season, I was happy to see a festive Christmas tree right at the entrance to greet customers. I was amazed to see all the options between room temp pastries and refrigerated pastries behind the counter. It was difficult to just pick one. The strawberry cream croissant was delicious and wonderfully crispy of a croissant. I tried the Tiramisu latter which was surprisingly not as sweet, but very delicious. Would come back to try out more of the dessert. (Also RIP to Dragon House) read more

First time here and i decided to try the Oreo cheesecake. I also asked for the workers recommendation and she recommended the Napoleon as it was her favorite and also the best seller. Napoleon 2/5. Napoleon was absolutely horrible. It looks really good but the inside layers are really hard to cut through. Look at the picture i provided. Expect to make a mess if you order this. Oreo cheesecake 5/5. This is the only thing i would come back for, if i do come back. The crust was also made with oreo. It was perfectly balanced and not too sweet. Overall, the staff are really nice and attentive. The Napoleon was just a big disappointment. I don't understand how it is one of their best sellers. read more

We had Apple croissant, strawberry cream croissant, pumpkin scone, carrot cake slice and bread pudding. Great flavors, the croissants had a nice exterior crunch, fluffy in the inside and great fruit flavors. Carrot cake was made with whipped cream frosting instead of cream cheese that made it lighter and less sweet. Service was very attentive and courteous.
