Wow wow wow!!! Mike's Pastry Shop is hands down one of the best hidden gems I've been to! I won't…read morelie, I was a bit unsure of what to expect because I did read the reviews beforehand but I went without expectations and I truly do not understand why this pastry shop is under a 4. Here's my play-by-play: Parking: the parking is ample here however it is a bit compact (NOT the bakery's fault!). I went in 3 times to ensure I tried a good amount before making my decision on top of trying their variety of pastries it was also to ensure how the service would be, honestly, every time I went in the atmosphere was very nonchalant. Since this is a local business they don't have that over-nice overwhelming energy you'd get at corporate stores. Which I am more than happy with, the three ladies that helped me with my selections also bake the pastries I believe so it was great knowing the lovely individuals who put passion into these pastries. Taste overall: When I tell you that everything I tried was absolutely delicious. The only note I have is that these are traditional pastries so they tend to have a slightly drier texture (bit the extremely gooey and super moist texture like in manufactured pastries) these are truly amazing paired with a coffee as they soak up coffee nicely. If you are a raspberry fan please GET ALL THE RASPBERRY pastries they have! The raspberry flavor is very natural and homemade . On top of that the cannolis...don't get me started, these are truly in my top 3 cannoli places. The shell, filling, and chocolate were perfectly balanced, no notes. Will be returning for the cannolis and raspberry pastries. Definitely a must have and I am very sad we do not have a Mike's Pastry Shop in the Central Valley.

Very disappointed with my recent experience. First and last order I'll ever make here. Ordered a…read morecake for Mother's Day. Picked up the cake on Friday which was taped in a box. This was the fresh whip cream with strawberries. When we opened the box two days later Sunday morning there was mold on the strawberries. When messaged the business, I was met with defensiveness as it were my fault the cake had mold. The bakery had a chance to make it right but instead, chose the position to state their cakes are made fresh and any mold would be the customers fault by not refrigerating the cake. Even went so far to say, it's not mold but looks like whip cream. That's completely inaccurate. If I were to make assumptions, this fresh cake was not made on the day I picked it up. Highly disappointed on my first purchase and I will never come back again.

Paris Baguette remains one of my favorite go-to spots for delicious pastries and coffee, but I've…read moredefinitely noticed a jump in their prices recently. I completely understand why costs are rising--ingredients, labor, and overhead aren't getting any cheaper for local businesses, so an increase makes sense. However, with the current pricing, stopping by for a routine treat or grabbing a few items for the family is becoming noticeably less affordable for us. The quality and taste are still consistent, but it's shifted from a casual, regular stop to more of a rare, occasional splurge. I still love what they offer, but I really hope prices stabilize so it stays accessible for regular visits.

Went here today for a meeting around 3 PM with a group of ladies, and we were seated near the…read moreentrance. Between all of us, we ordered more than a dozen drinks along with plenty of pastries. As the afternoon went on, it became unbearably hot inside the café. We asked the staff if they could lower the temperature, but were told that administration had taken the remote control and that employees did not have access to adjust the air conditioning. It was a very unusual explanation, and honestly, I wasn't sure whether it was true or if they simply wanted us to leave. Unfortunately, the uncomfortable temperature made it difficult to enjoy our time there, especially during a meeting. Based on this experience, I don't plan on returning anytime soon.

Starbread is the place for warm, fresh, comfort treats imo…read more I have been getting senorita bread from Starbread for ages, from multiple locations and they always hit. This location is convenient and quick. Starbread is take out so don't expect tables because you need to head out and eat those babies while they're fresh (although a quick zap in the microwave will have them just as tasty). The workers are always friendly and helpful if you aren't sure how much to bring for a gathering. They also serve hot dog and spam buns, empanadas, etc. Everything that I've tried has been good.

We inquired about a…read morecustom cake about a week before the party and said she was able to make a cake in time for the party! She helped us figure out what design we wanted, what cake flavor, filling, as well as added a picture per my request. It came out so nice! Just a bit bummed that the cake frosting cracked on the side, and I was also hoping for more mangoes and filling in the slices. Maybe a suggestion to add multiple layers, like a layered cake? Other than that, I was shocked at how thick the cake was! Thank you so much for the beautiful cake, the party enjoyed!

We did not know that they usually only sell if you called in the previous day. We got lucky and the bread had just come out of the oven and we were able to buy six loaves. They were huge loaves and under $3 each. Between my family and my sister's family the bread was gone within 2 days. We also had purchased six ham and cheese croissants that were also very tasty and under $3 each (what a bargain!). The people who work there were all super nice. We downloaded their product list and will pre-order next time we are in the bay area.
