Overview: Small parking lot, small shop, big flavors ---- A few outside tables and one inside bench, it can get a little chilly sitting outside esp in th Opening up a location in alameda Very beautiful presentation of all of the pastries and I'm SO, SO happy that they have prices on all of their items!! They offer a unique fusion of Asian flavors with classic French pastries. ---- Pistachio Kataifi Croissant $9.50 - croissant is filled with kataifi and topped with pistachio cream and crushed pistachios - the croissant itself was a little too salty for me and I think it needs the sweetness of the pistachio cream on top - the croissant was still crispy at room temperature, but tasted better heated up - I would recommend air frying it or rebaking it instead of microwaving it bc the kataifi gets soggy ---- Notes: - parking lot is small - service was really quick and friendly - a nice display case with a wide variety of items and with their prices listed!! ---- Overall: unique flavors, picture perfect pastries, I can't wait for the Alameda location to open up so I can try more of their items and their drinks!

I found this bakery/café within walkable distance from the Castro Valley Bart station so walked over to meet my friends before our holiday weekend hike. Altogether, I spent around $40 on two rounds of pastries for our early morning carb brekkie. I got a lil over-ambitious getting a bit of everything for us to try, but we only got through about half of the haul (almond and chocolate croissants and egg tart) before the hike. We unanimously agreed the pastries were delicious and would get again if in the area.

Assorted croissants I ordered, everything was delicious.
Christopher N.

This place specializes in croissants and I ordered 8 different ones with an even split with savory and sweet to take home to my family and we were all able to try a bite of everything. I wish I wrote down what I ordered but luckily, I did take a picture. I ordered: Ham and Cheese, Almond, French Custard, Black Sesame, Passion Fruit Ganache, Cheese and Mushroom, Shrimp, and lastly, a kouign-amann. They also had a pastrami one that I wanted to try but they were sold out. Everything was delicious and buttery, as a croissant should be. Nothing was too sweet nor too salty however, I would recommend pairing it with either a nice cup of coffee or tea. My favorite so far was the cheese and mushroom and the kuign-amann but honestly, you cant go wrong with anything. Price wise, they started around $6 each which, for the quality you are getting, I believe is fairly priced. The staff were all very lively and super friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, the smell of freshly made croissants is absolutely intoxicating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will definitely return to try the other items as well as their coffee.

Pastrami Cup (refrigerated + day after)
Carson M.

Tried their somewhat new Pastrami Cup pastry. Be sure to have them heat it up and eat it fresh/ASAP! It's like a steak dinner in a pastry. Chunky pastrami, creamy white sauce, rosemary, and a mushroom umami that ties it all together.

02/27/26 - Croffle w/ Strawberry Cream; Black Sesame Onigiri, Passionfuit Ganache Muffin Danish and Kouign Amann
Dexter D.

I really wanted PIE, but since I couldn't think of any place to get a good fruit pie from in Castro Valley, I "settled" for Ones. Open four days a week and closing at 3pm, we knew that the selection would be sparse since it was already 2:45. Fortunately, everything that we've tried has been good so we knew selection wouldn't be that much of an issue. We got: Croffle with Strawberry Cream - 5 Black Sesame Onigiri Croissant (No Rice Involved) - 5 Passionfruit Ganache Muffin Danish - 5 Kouign Amann - 5 Yes. Four items scoring 5/5 each. Great textures and flavors, well executed individual pastries that only a Master Baker could consistently produce.

Ube moon, French tart, matcha croffle
Gabriel T.

Everything we tried was delicious. The ube moon, matcha croffle, and French tart were all on point--great flavors and not overly sweet. The sesame latte paired perfectly with everything, and the lemongrass chicken croissant was flavorful and super satisfying. Service was friendly and smooth. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The storefront itself is small and cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking right out front can be tight, but there's a larger parking lot in the neighboring shopping center that makes it easier. Overall, a great spot and an easy 5/5. Would definitely come back.

Ube moon and ham/cheese croissant
Ed L.

Just learned about this bakery and I'm here to try it for the first time first time! Honestly the spread of pastries they have is impressive; though the selection is not as vast as some bigger bakeries, the appearance is very professional and the size is big. From the classic croissants to creations such as pineapple kouign amann and ube moon, the choices can accommodate most guests. I bought ube moon, ham/cheese croissant, choco croissant, lemongrass chicken croissant, pineapple kouign amann, and strawberry croffle; and drinks I got ube latte, black sesame latte, and chai latte. I know that's a lot but I have 3 kids lol. I liked all the pastries especially the lemongrass chicken and ube moon. The pastries have nice crunchy exteriors and I enjoyed it! As for drinks, the black sesame latter is my favorite as it has a bold flavor and a nice balance of coffee and sesame. My least favorite is the ube latte cuz it lacks depth and not worth the price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bakery is small but clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are some chairs and tables outside that guests can use.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The prices of the items are reasonable for most. I will likely visit again to try other items.

Saw this viral bakery on Instagram and got to check it out. The location is in prime downtown area of Castro valley. We got there 30 mins before closing and was surprised that they still had a lot of options left. There were a lot that I was curious about, but we ended up going with the lemongrass chicken croissant and pistachio croissant. Lemon grass was very delicious. It was chicken thigh and seasoned very well. I wish the chicken was shredded because there were bites that didn't have chicken in it. Pistachio croissant is filled with pistachio cream. I liked it alot and would recommend trying this. Coffee selection was limited at the end of the day. The orange latte was very good. Love this spot and everyone should try One's Cafe!

Josephine C.

Very unique flavored pasties. Loved the variety and how cute they were! The flavors were on point and love the flakiness of the croissants.

Jennifer C.

I've been wanting to try this bakery for awhile now after seeing it on social media! My boyfriend went once around noon to try and pick up some pastries for me, but almost everything had sold out! This time, I came around 9am and was glad there were still some options left! This is a small cafe located in downtown Castro valley. Parking is a little weird- there's a small lot that only goes one way, but there's no outlet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a small line when I went and a few people seated outside enjoying their coffee and pastries.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the almond croissant, strawberry and ube moon croissants and a passion fruit muffin danish. Everything was delicious! The moon croissants seemed to be the lost popular because I was able to snag the last three! The croissants were crispy and flaky on the outside with a good amount of filling inside. The moon croissants were probably my favorite of the bunch, but overall everything tasted fresh and delicious! If you're wanting to try out this bakery, come early!

My review is middle of the road. I dropped by this Friday morning, 8:30am. Parking is wonky. My three point turnaround skills came in handy. I walked into the bakery and did a once-over of what was available. Instantly spotted some options. The bakery display is really tall. I am not tall. One of the servers warmly greeted the Spanish speaking patrons that walked in after me-She probably knew them? We were all meandering our picks. I finally stepped in front of the register and asked if we were supposed to place our orders behind the thick plexiglass or order at the front. There were two young persons in the front that said either way would work. I was not greeted or welcomed, so I was confused. I placed my order for three pastries, it came out to be over $23. I did not add a tip, as I don't feel like placing three pastries in a box is warranted a tip. The pastries were good. I got the egg and potato croissant, pastrami and cheese, and a ham and cheese croissant. I felt like being greeted and acknowledged was a very basic thing to do in creating a great experience. Niche businesses need to realize this. Why did the donut business down the street become an icon in this town for decades? Because the people behind the counter loved the people coming in. Everyone was welcomed- even awkward new people like me. The pastries were good- not sure I will go back.

Tony G.

Really cool hidden pastry spot in Castro Valley. They have a very cool selection of pastries with some unique Asian flavors. I enjoyed them all, the flavor were great throughout. The cream filled ones were light and not too sweet. The only thing I have bad to say is that parking is super small and limited at their lot. You're better off parking across the street at Safeway and walking over. Other than that 10/10 spot!

Matcha Croffle
Yuran Z.

Wow, this place exceeded my expectations! We drove by this little corner shop in Castro Valley so many times and we finally decided to give it a shot. Yes, the parking lot next to it is a little bit too small but there are so many big lots nearby you can just walk over. The pictures of their bakery goods look so good, and they actually taste just as good as they look. We got the Macha Croffle and it was probably the best thing we've ever had. It doesn't taste artificial, doesn't taste too sweet that it overwhelm the other flavors, and the croffle itself is just the perfect mixture of croissant and a waffle. It was buttery, crispy, and flaky. Definitely will be coming back for the other pastries and so excited to try all of them!

Do they still sell the strawberry wheels?

Yes

If I buy one pastry, will it come in a box or paper bag ? Would love to gift a pastry to a teacher so it would be nicer in a box.

What is an orange drink? Like a tumeric latte? Or actual orange flavor 😬?

It's an actual orange flavor.

I like that they have a rotating seasonal menu as well. This time I tried the Iced Ube Latte from the summer menu.

I always feel like I can get work done and focus here because of how open and spacious it is. Love the view and natural light that radiates inside as well.

The salted maple latte was just ok... sadly it looked better than it tasted.

Good espresso should be balanced and coffee forward, and I didn't get that. Almond croissant was great, but I was a bit disappointed in their coffee. Ambience is great for studying or getting some work done.

It was $8.50 before tip, which is very steep even with today's rising boba prices. They also have orchid oolong tea and a guava and peach flavor which I want to try next time, as well as selling hojicha and matcha. You can sign up for rewards at the ordering kiosk. It's sour and acidic but still sweet; I do wish in hindsight I'd asked for the lime to be removed, which is part of the drink customization settings, because the lime really overpowered it and it's harder to make out the pineapple. It had a rigid cup though, seems to be decent enough quality to reuse the cup. Overall, the drink was decent, but I took off a star because of how pricey it was. Still, I appreciate the premise of all the drinks containing lime and that they have some less common drink flavors.

I want to start off by saying that this is my first review for a non-gluten free place. I am being…read morere-tested for celiac disease and engaging in the "gluten challenge". Seven Hills Baking Co was my first stop as I haven't had sourdough since childhood. I got their classic sourdough loaf. Even though it wasn't warm anymore it was still amazing. It was quite hard to cut into with a serrated bread knife, which I'm not sure whether that's normal or abnormal for gluten sourdough. However, the inside was lovely and soft. Nice strong sour flavor, spongy dough that was almost moist (not at all dry). I want to note on the gluten free front that seven hills baking co offers a few items which they advertise to be gluten free. Though the ingredients may be gluten free, the items are baked in the same kitchen, the same oven, and then put side by side with the gluten in the display case. Furthermore I don't believe their ingredients are all certified gluten free. Therefore I do not recommend seven hills baking co for anybody with celiac disease. Do not buy your friend with a gluten allergy or celiac these items. There is most certainly cross contact.

Parking was busy (the lot is shared with Trader Joe's) but we managed to find a spot and head into the busy but not packed cafe. There is a large assortment of empanadas, from meat options like chorizo and chicken, to vegetarian like corn and onion, to sweet options too like apples. The menu also boasts lots of great drinks including mate tea! Lucky us, the empanadas we ordered weren't in stock so we had to wait ~10 for freshly baked ones. They came out buttery and piping hot, even with little hand-stamped letters on them so you know what you're eating, and it was so delicious. Most are about $5.50 each. Add oregano chimichurri for a bit extra if you want or pair with a tea, but these empanadas really hit the snacky spot. Lots of wooden tables with fresh flowers make Pampas a great space to chat with friends or to sit and do some work. The most standout feature was the friendly and efficient staff who seem to build connections with everybody who walks in the door. Worth a drive to Castro Valley!

This place was solid!…read more The ambience is not only crazy clean, but the vibes are chill. I went on a random afternoon where it wasn't very busy so I was in and out in less than 5 minutes once I decided what I want. Very spacious and has a ridiculous amount of seating so I'd imagine even when they are busy, it's tolerable. The art on the wall is also *chefs kiss*. It was my first time here so I asked the staff for some support and he did a good job breaking things down for me. He didn't have much enthusiasm or seem excited by my business, which I typically love about smaller coffee shops, but that's really my only criticism. I ordered the Yemeni Latte w/ Soy milk as an alternative. If you like spice, 10/10, great flavor. If you don't, choose something with a more gentle touch. Overall, the experience is a 9/10 but I'll give it 5/5 stars. They didn't wow me, so if I had to choose between going back there or trying a new small coffee shop, I'd choose the latter. Will I choose it over a big name franchise, every time. Have I had better coffee shop experience, absolutely.

Location: Super elegant, chilly, lots of seating, overall very good vibes. The workers were nice,…read moredidnt have to wait to order which was nice and overall very welcoming even when they accidently spilled my drink they remade it right away. Food: I went here twice and every single time I get any of the shwarmas or meat pies, its cold. Not just a little bit, the entire inside and bottom is soggy cold. It tastes good, super light not heavy, but the coldness makes it unappetizing unfortunatly. Additionally, the biscoff cake was super dry for a milk cake, but the taste is still nice. The saffron and caramel cake are nice though, milky, sweet, pairs well with a hot drink. Drink: Dissapointing. Matcha, Chai, Latte, Smoothie, Refresher--I tried them all and was dissapointing. Matcha (latte, mango, and strawberry) tasted insanely water, same with the adani chai--which is something I look forward to at every cafe. I think increasing the milk content in the chai could really improve it. Coffee was also done poorly (iced and hot). Refresher was alright, super sweet but other than that it wasnt bad. The only thing that was the best was the smoothie. The mangorabian tastes like a chocolatey mango lassi, you can't go wrong with a smoothie. Room for improvement on everything. Overall: Very nice elegant cafe that is perfect for hangouts and doing work, the food needs to get warmed up longer to avoid coldness and all the drinks need to be improved to increase the quality of the taste. Looking forward to the change!

Maybe she wasn't having a good day but she seemed fine chit chatting away with the fellow baristas afterwards. Not my type of Philz if workers here pick and choose who they want to service. Other than that, they have plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. I do like the spaciousness of their outdoor seating. Parking can sometimes be a nuisance even tho there's a parking lot available. Oh and their featured drinks tend to seem a little too sweet. I plan to stick with my philtered soul. Name says it all. But, not so sure if I'd frequent this location.
