Best breakfast sandwich, hands down! My barbershop is literally next door, and my kids are obsessed with this breakfast sandwich -- it's their all-time favorite breakfast sandwich . They are excited every time we stop by fresh in the early morning before I open up shop. It's become our little tradition, and I look forward to it as much as they do. Highly recommend! read more

The grain salad here is so good that I planned my errands around picking one up yesterday and I don't even like salads. Also, the bread they serve with it is ridiculous- perfectly crusty on the outside, soft on the inside...totally worth the carbs. I think this could be the reason their avocado toast is also incredible. On top of that, all of the employees always seems happy to be there and everyone is present, which feels rare these days. I love supporting local businesses like this. Such a welcome addition to RWC! read more

Baker next door is that simple, cute and comfy spot you want to add to your next hangouts list. I had lunch here with a friend and we shared a salad and few baked good! We also got a match latte to go. Here's what all we got - Farro salad - so refreshing & hearty with a tangy dressing! Perfect summer salad. Guava matcha latte - very subtle but real guava flavor. I got it with oat milk and it was really good. Just the right amount of sweetness. Strawberry chausson - puff pastry filled with baked strawberry jam. Simple and nostalgic. Financier - pistachio raspberry ... oooh yum!! read more

Cute little spot in downtown. Long sometimes can get long and seating may be limited. They offer both outdoor and indoor options though. Service was super friendly and knowledgeable of the different pastries. I ordered a warm chai latte, a classic and this bread that had a fruit/pistachio. Flavor was interesting. Nice decor inside with lots of lighting. Perfect place to study, catch up with friends, or grab quick bites after a workout class :) read more

Incredible. Just from stepping foot in the door the vibes were immaculate. The service was quick and the cashier was extremely friendly! Only stopped for a snack so I can't rank the coffee but my waffle is absolutely delicious. I would stop again anytime I'm in the area! 10/10 read more

Stopped by this cute bakery on a nice Saturday with the love of my life last week. We ordered: * Ham and cheese morning bun (8.9/10) I thought it was good, nicely salted. * Strawberry croissant (9/10) super flakey and very jammy. * Focaccia veggie sandwich (9.2/10) I actually enjoyed this sandwich a lot! I like how they utilized radish here as a sandwich feeling. It was a refreshing bite for a warm day. * Vanilla latte and cold brew were delicious. I like that the cold brew didn't taste acidic. The service was friendly and we got our food in a reasonable amount of time. We also managed to find a seat outside so overall the experience was great here for a chill brunch. read more

Loveeee this bakery cafe!! I came up upon this bakery while I was waiting for some friends in the area. I was intrigued by the aesthetics of the cafe. I walked in and there was quite a bit of people in line so I decided to check out their pastry. I ended up getting a mango coconut roll and a raspberry kouign amann and both were super delicious! It was flaky and flavorful just how I like my pastries. I would come here again next time to try their matcha and coffee. read more

My dad and I went to this highly-talked-about cafe after his appointment! Their hours, 7 am to 3 am daily, usually don't work with my 5 pm finish, so having the day off was the perfect opportunity. I was really hoping to try their morning bun or monkey bread, but unfortunately, both were sold out. However, I did get to try the Kouign-amann pastry and a peanut butter cookie. The peanut butter cookie was amazing. It was not overly sweet or intensely flavored, with a lovely peanut butter cream filling between two cookies. We also ordered two cappuccinos for my parents and a caramel latte for myself. The total came to about $28 for everything, which feels pretty reasonable for the Bay Area. The cafe itself had a really great vibe. Very cafe-like with a unique decor that blended old-school bakery charm with modern touches. Parking was a bit of a trek; we ended up parking quite a distance away on a residential street to avoid paid parking and walked a bit to get there. It's definitely not the most convenient location for parking. Despite that, the place was packed, which is always a good sign! The service was great. They took our order efficiently, and while we waited, it was clear this is a very popular spot. I'm determined to go back and try those morning buns and monkey bread! read more

Stopped by Wednesday morning for a breakfast sandwich and a flat white. Sandwich was well assembled with the highlight being the perfectly crunchy, slightly chewy bread. Coffee was good too. Decent amount of seating, especially when outdoor seating is considered. Good selection of sweet and savory pastries. Definitely a nice bakery in downtown Redwood City! read more

Outstanding bakery. The rhubarb pistachio confection was weep worthy with the almond snail just a tear behind! I would have posted a photo of the crumbly more-ish currant scones but the scatter of crumbs on my car seat would not a dignified photo make. but they were a welcome escape on the six hour drive home. The greeting was friendly, the bakery pristinely clean, and the drip coffee? Hot and robust! read more

My business journey brought me into the Bay Area for a few hours around breakfast time. Of course, I relied on my fellow Yelper's to find a good bakery for a hot cup of coffee and pastry for breakfast. Your reviews were spot on. This place is on Main Street and with there already a line at 8am, I knew it was good to be good. The smells of fresh baked goods overwhelmed me as soon as I walked in. It looks high end but I was pleasantly surprised the prices were reasonable. $11 for a fresh blueberry muffin and a latte. So many awesome choices too. The best part was sitting at the bar watching the prepare all the pastries for baking, right in front of us! Loved this place and will come back any chance I get! read more

Cute little bakery/coffee spot in Downtown Redwood City! I went on a late Sunday morning and the line was long but it moved quickly. Despite how busy it was, we were still able to find a table and get our food quickly. They have some seating inside and a few small tables outside as well. The vanilla latte was smooth and a little sweet, just how I like it. We got a liege waffle and shakshuka pastry, both of which were nice and flaky. The liege waffle was perfectly sweet and the shakshuka pastry had wonderful flavor. We also got a ham & cheese quiche and a breakfast sandwich. The quiche was 10/10! My friend really enjoyed the breakfast sandwich but wished it came with a sauce. Overall, we would definitely go again for their pastries and a quiche! read more

The Baker Next Door is a hidden gem that's absolutely worth the visit! Everything we tried was incredibly fresh, beautifully made, and full of flavor. The pastries were perfectly flaky, the bread was crusty on the outside and soft on the inside, and the coffee paired perfectly with every bite. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made the experience even better. You can really taste the care and quality that goes into everything they bake. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast or an afternoon treat, this bakery is one you'll want to keep coming back to. Highly recommended! We were lucky the lines weren't too bad and they weren't out of their signature items. read more

This is a spot I often either take people to, or recommend people stop by. Everything is pretty excellent from the bread, to the pastries, to the menu. I definitely feel like I'm eating healthy when I eat here (by no means is that a complaint... I actually love that it feels like life in each bite). My favorite dish is the salmon tartine with the poached egg added, but we've tried the Croque monsieur and it's excellent. I've also had the poached egg on toast with Kale. It's pretty tasty but a slightly too salty for me (both times). There are some pastries that are staples, and then there are some that rotates. I have a sweet tooth and love most of their sweet pastries. However, this is one of the few places where I love the savory pastries and would probably even prioritize those! I've also taken home a loaf, but I don't love that. I can't purchase a half loaf. It's what stops me from regularly buying bread here. I realize I can freeze some of the bread, but I don't have a large freezer. In my experience, I have found the staff to be helpful and friendly. Sometimes I have questions and they are patient while I make up my mind. I also noticed that when they work together, they seem to get along. I find that positivity in the culture translate into food made with love... A bit of a generalization, but it's something I've noticed. When the spot was first opened I hesitated to review. I remember walking in and being overstimulated by the music and the bright lights. Seems like they have figured it out now which I really appreciate. I often enjoy sitting on the bar stool, watching the kitchen work. read more

I stopped by after lunch nearby, and caught them shortly before they closed. The interactions with the staff was very brief, but the coffee and pastry were good. I had my usual, cappuccino. It was smooth and satisfying. The interior was brightly lit by the natural light coming through the windows. The vibe was relaxed and chill. The space was clean and fairly spacious. I like that there weren't a bunch of people in their laptops, because that takes away from a nice cafe experience. Not a bad place. I'd come by for another cup if I'm in the area again. read more

I was craving quiche and there's this little bakery in Monterey that I would drive 1.5-2 hours to to get it. But yesterday I didn't want to do that. I searched online thinking I wouldn't like any of the results nearby. I was wrong The quiche at the baker next door is so soft and flavorful. I felt like going to heaven with every bite. The salad that came with it was fragrant and crisp, with just the right amount of citrus vinegetrtte. Restaurant was clean and cute, doubles as a cafe but no wifi, just vibes. I cannot beleive I am just discovering this place after years living in Redwood City. Where have I been?!! read more

A new bakery opening up is always going to attract me; it might as well be a sale at Tiffany's (which doesn't happen in real life, btw, only in my dreams). Sigh. Anyway, this bakery sure is a site for sore eyes in downtown Redwood City. Beautiful tile? Check. High ceiling? Check. Insane light coming in? Check. Enticing display case? Check. I don't need to recommend that you stop in; if you pass by you'll want to. I love a good matcha latte. The matcha lattes here are made w/ real unsweetened matcha. Pretty bitter if you're not accustomed to it & you'll need to add sweetener. We've sampled a few things, but what we came back for was one thing... The breakfast sandwich. Holy moly good, I haven't had a breakfast sandwich on par with this one in a long time. I think it might be better than the one at Devil's Teeth in SF. Yeah, I said it. The bread. House ciabatta. Golden perfection. The eggs, the bacon, the cheese, everything tastes like quality. Dripping down my chin, my hand, my arm...who cares? This is a breakfast sandwich you dream about. Like a "sale" at Tiffany's. 4 & 1/2 stars. read more

Nice bakery and coffee spot. Clean and bright interior. Pain au chocolat had good texture- soft and layered on the inside, crispy on the outside. The chocolate was good. Their pastries were pretty good overall. I would say the scones were a liiiiittle bit on the drier side and the savory one to be too salty imo. The seasonal spandauer (currently featuring pear) was flavorful and had nice presentation. My latte was smooth. The taste was more on the acidic side. Bright. The beans are from proyecto diaz coffee in Oakland. read more

Came for the Guava matcha and ended up picking up several other items. The guava matcha is super fresh and has the perfect ratio guava where its more than a hint and enough to feel like your getting a rich mouthful. The dulce de leche croissant is filled well and just done well. Many times when there are filled croissants, you almost feel like they are leftover ones that were cut in half and filled. This is definitely delicate and flakey with a nice dollap on top and a thinner cream in the middle. The Breakfast sandwich was solid and the other pastries fresh and flavorful. We will be back! read more

Love their pain suisse here. Honestly a can't go wrong no frills bakery. Great location as well. Hope one opens in South sj one day!

Decent coffee and croissant. About average value for the San Francisco peninsula. I was disappointed than the fact that they didn't have any honey available inside. For either the drinks, or for dipping the croissant into. But I was happy that they were able to warm up the croissant. In general, I find that any place that labels themselves as a baker instead of a cafe will not have honey available for use by the customers. So no real surprise here. But perhaps they can start adding honey for future customers to use. If you're a person working on a laptop, this place is not the greatest place to work. Internet access is okay. But there are absolutely no power outlets if you want to do any long-term work. The croissant that I ordered was about what you'd expect from a bakery. Not so sure that they know how to do layering and proofing correctly. But as a croissant goes it'll get you by for the morning. I did have to wipe down my own table here. But nothing too big or too dirty. The people working here are super friendly and willing to help you out with whatever they could that was available. read more

The pastries are beautiful, and the monkey bread and morning bun was really good. I was excited to try their guava Matcha however it was probably the worst Matcha drink I've ever had sadly. It had zero Matcha taste, barely any guava foam, and just tasted like straight up milk. Ended up tossing it, $8.50 down the drain. read more

Came on a Friday morning and it was quite busy! The inside had a good amount of seating, as well as extra seating outside. The kitchen is open so if you sit at the counter, you can watch the bakers do their thing which is really cool. There were so many things on the menu to try. I got the avocado toast and an iced vanilla latte. The avocado toast was very yummy and came with a little side salad. The iced vanilla latte was pretty standard, not out of this world but it was still good. Will definitely be coming back to try more of their menu! read more

I discovered this little gem while visiting Savers a few months ago, and it's delicious! The bread and sweets are always so fresh and flavorful, and there's usually a line out the door. The cheese and chive scone and the sourdough baguettes are my favorites. It's definitely on the pricier side, but they have a sign saying gratuity and tips are included in the pricing, so that makes sense. I'll definitely be back! read more

Was in town for a appointment. I wanted a small snack for the drive home. I've been waiting to try the pastries. Got there around 9am. There's only paid street parking around here. Saw a small line inside a crowded seating area. We ordered a almond smell and a strawberry chaussen. Also a couple of lattes. They have house made syrups. Big bonus (trying to stay away from artificial syrups). From the waiting area,you could see people actively make more pastries. The almond snell was good but kinda dry. The strawberry chaussen was flaky,had a nice buttery flavor. Super moist and fresh tasting. Next time I'm in town,I will definitely get a bigger selection of items to try. read more

After hearing about this place at a Yelp Elite event at @Cardomomo--where they literally call them "our baker next door"--I had to check out the source. Turns out the pun is well-earned and the bread is even better. The lineup here is solid: flaky croissants that shatter just right, a baguette with that perfect crispy-chewy thing going on (made excellent next-morning toast), and a peanut butter sandwich cookie that I'm still thinking about. The coffee holds its own too, which is saying something when you're literally in the middle of what looks like a functioning baking factory. Everything tastes like someone actually cares about what they're making. The baguette alone justified the trip--crackling crust, airy interior, gone by noon the next day. I grabbed it to go but ended up eyeing their sandwich menu pretty hard on the way out. Next time. If you're nearby or visiting RWC, swing by. Your breakfast table will thank you.​​​​​​​​​ read more

I like this place a lot but maybe not for all the reasons you may deduce. First their pastries and coffee, breakfast sandwiches are very good. Their employees are very conscientious and do a great job. So.... what I love about this place is NO TIPPING. They tell you, we take good care of our people so they will take care of the customer and they do. No sly back of the hand BS about, well if you want to leave a tip... Their products are a little bit more in cost than the competition but because they treat customers and their employees with respect, I am a BIG fan of this place. Congratulations to the owner of The Baker Next Door. read more

I visited The Baker Next Door early in the morning, before it got too busy. The interior was bright, with a green checkered counter and a handful of tables. I didn't notice the specialty coffee drink in time (Limon-nana, looked fantastic) so I got a Cappuccino. I also ordered a Chocolate Croissant and Feta-Tomato Bateau to-go. Service was quick but a bit lukewarm. The Cappuccino was well-made and got the job done. Both pastries tasted fresh, with nice flaky dough. However, neither one was life-changing. The Chocolate Croissant was pretty standard and the Feta-Tomato Bateau was a little too salty. Would return to try more items in the future! read more

Honest take out review: One of the most interesting combos and it works!!! 5/5 Awwww, the smell of fresh bread in the morning... you can't beat it! The aroma of just craft taking place like this makes for a delicious morning and wonderful stroll if you're walking by the area, let's get to the food! Walking in we were delighted to see the food being offered in display for you to see what you like, the menus easy to decipher, and the clientele gives you their opinions on what's delicious! Always good when your clientele knows your menu! We just walked in for a snack for on the road and I was recommended the lavender latte and the broccoli rab on a baguettes. -Lavender latte: 4/5 If you like lavender lattes, this is for you. Floral in essence and taste, you will get everything you're looking for! It's definitely one that if you're looking for a drink with sweetness, it's there! However it's not what you'd expect. It's delicious in nature and paired will with the sandwich I ordered. This is a drink that I would say it's for most, but not all.... -Broccoli rab: 5/5 I normally don't go for a vegetarian sandwich, it's not my style. However... this sandwich changed my mind. It was one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. The flavor profile made this feel like you weren't missing anything! It was savory, salty, and the bread was perfect. This was one of those bites that you salivate just thinking back to. The broccolini was Smokey, met with a goat cheese that gave you a punch, and met with a pepper relish that was just.... The perfect combination. It was garlicky, it was the perfect bite. There is no other way to describe this. This walk in hole in the wall experience for us. May just win best bite of 2025. It was that good! The service, the food, the only thing id say is parking can be a little rough, but.... It's worth the walk for great food! read more
