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

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

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

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

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

Open Tue - Sun 7:30am - 3pm The Baker Next Door is such a cute little neighborhood bakery cafe in Redwood City. They're very popular locally, I heard A LOT about them but just got a chance to try them today. Honestly, not overhyped at all. I had the Pain Suisse with chocolate and vanilla pastry cream and it was sooo good. Super buttery and flaky, with a really nice crisp outside. I also appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet like other bakeries. Sometimes pastries like this can feel heavy after a few bites, but this one was balanced really well. The cold brew was also great, bold and really refreshing. The whole place has a warm & welcoming vibe. You can see the staff working in the back making pastries, and everything smells amazing inside. Also, there are a lot of breakfast options on the menu too (if you have a mood for it). Definitely a place I will come back soon to try more items. 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

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 cafe with lots of natural light. Pain suisse: Their take on a chocolate croissant. Nice flaky layers. Chai latte: They do a great job with lovely chai flavors. Definitely one of the better ones I've had. No WiFi, which is a downside for those looking for a place to do some work. 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

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

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

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

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

Visited again after a few months hoping for improvement, but unfortunately the customer service was still rude and unwelcoming. We also felt discriminated against during our visit, which made the experience very uncomfortable. It's disappointing that nothing has changed since our last visit.

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

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

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

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

The baker next door is a true treasure! The baked goods are delicious, flakey and fresh, and they use organic flour. (I recommend the goat cheese leak bateau). But honestly I come here for their coffee and salad a lot too! The best coffee in downtown Redwood City in my opinion, and the house salad is divine. The atmosphere is cozy and clean. The staff are always friendly, and service is timely despite it being packed at times. Plus it's so cool to sit at the back bar along the open kitchen and be able to watch the bakers make the magic happen! Highly recommend. 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

Definitely my go-to bakery! It is located in downtown Redwood City and is such a nice, casual spot to grab a pastry and drink. There is seating inside and outside. Also plenty of parking around the streets. I probably frequent this shop weekly. I love getting the ham and cheese morning bun. I've had the regular croissant and pain au chocolat as well. Everything is so buttery and flaky. Sometimes they'll offer to heat the pastries up for you. Everyone is friendly. Highly recommend you stop by! read more

The bread is good. The problem is they are always out of ciabatta rolls. They produce sour dough baguettes which are totally not worse it.

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

Yet another lovely upscale cafe in downtown. I came here recently with my daughter for our Saturday coffee date and had a steamer and chocolate croissant. Pros: Pastries were hands down top notch. The croissant was fresh and excellent compared to other cafes nearby. Service was friendly. Cons: Parking is tough downtown but that goes for any business here. Only whole milk, almond and oat milk - no lowfat milk options. While that might make drinks tastier I would have gotten a drink if they had lowfat options. Drinks aren't as wide in variety as other places (coffeebar, coupa). read more

Just happened to be in the area, found this place while looking on Yelp. Had really great reviews and was really busy when I came here on a Sunday morning. Tried the monkey bread, ham and cheese, croissant, the almond snail roll, peanut butter sandwich, regular croissant, and the baguette. All were great and would come back for any of those. The place is decorated nice, lots of staff working on a Sunday, not too many places to sit. But could be a good place to get some pastries and some coffee. Would recommend to anyone if you're in the area. read more

I normally don't write reviews, but for buying a pastry, this bakery has the audacity to "build in" a "mandatory" tip into their prices? What? This bakery forces its customers to automatically pay gratuity even for take outs (and hardly any service)? That is how they explain their higher prices? It is time for us customers to resist these increasingly higher prices! The food quality does not justify their prices. Absolutely not! read more

Have been here few times now at different times. First time I tried their avocado toast..felt little too crunchy toast with generous avacado..comes with fresh salad. Loved the cappuccino- reminded me of my Italy trip. Great open kitchen to watch the bakers in action.

I just hope they serve cappuccino in glassware if one is dining there which look's inconsistent ...‍ Parking is street or public parking lot across the street (metered). read more

I really enjoy the drinks and pastries here--they're consistently good and one of the main reasons I come back. However, my most recent visit left me a bit disappointed with the service. The person who took our order (Natalie) seemed rushed and not very friendly. It felt like we were being hurried along, and when I asked to have a pastry warmed up, it came across as if it was an inconvenience. What stood out most was that the interaction felt noticeably different compared to how other customers were being treated at the time, which made the experience uncomfortable. I'm hoping this was just an off day, because I do like this place and would love to keep coming back. Better consistency in customer service would really make a difference. read more
