I recommend the Spicy Turkey Pepperjack, BBQ Chicken, & Chicken Avocado on the soft French! Breads are baked daily. The Creamy French is what Andersen Bakery is famously known for! It was my childhood favorite growing up & still is today! The vanilla custard is so good! The Cream Cheese Walnut is another favorite too. Occasionally, they will put out samples! :) I also like their cheese breads. My favorite would be either the Pesto Cheese or the Jalapeño one (for those who like spicy). You can get it toasted & sliced. Note: this location does not have cakes here due to its small location. You have to order in advance and pick it up here when it is ready. I also tried their crême brûlée which is yummy! Very sweet though. Again, you have to place an order on the cake order form because they do not make it here. read more

Beware of this location, I purchased a strawberry tart and found mold on the strawberry. Very disappointed, I love their bakery goods and cakes but knowing they serve fruits that aren't fresh is disgusting. read more

The bakery at this location isn't so good. I ordered an eggplant hummus with sourdough bread and the sandwich was chilled. I think it was pre-made and refrigerated because the inside of the bread was soggy. If they made it to order it should not be soggy at all. Some of the mixed greens were slightly yellow so I took them out. Im one of those who will NOT send anything back even when I'm completely disappointed. For me, it's just a hit or miss because sending back is not an option I would chose for myself. I used to love this bakery up at the Valley Fair location. Also, usually the bread would be roasted and warmed before they make their sandwiches. The pastries looks really yummy, there were lots of tables and the girl at the register was nice and friendly. read more

DELICIOUS baked goods, poor service. Specifically, my rating is for two separate occasions in September and the same cashier: this guy on Tuesday afternoons has no proper manners. No greetings. No what can I get you. No thank you's. Zero words from this minimalist. He simply stares at you and waits for you to say what you want. He grabs it, takes your money then looks at you. Who knew buying bread would be unpleasant. To be fair, other cashiers at this location were pleasant and cordial. T read more

This mall bakery was on the now closed side where Sears was. This was my first Andersen Bakery visit ever, although I see them at most malls. I decided to order a customized vegetarian sandwhich. Oh boy it was delish. Fresh vegetables, soft bread in a handheld wrapped goodness. It was more of a caprese themed sandwhich on buttery soft brioche roll. w/ sliced red roasted tomatoe, basil leaves, good size mitzarella cheese and added avocado slice with a splash of olive oil and pesto mayo made this a fav I'd order again. The staff was also friendly and patient. The mall itself was busy as I was there on a weekend, but lucky as it was not too busy at n thus bakery. read more

Usually love this place-the tomato soup is amazing. However today i got a sandwich to go and literally it had a huuuge bun like 1 inch thick stuffed with lotsa lettuce, a sliver of avocado, and a couple lil tiny tomatoes. It was sad and not worth 9$ :( i was so hungry and this was just so disappointing. read more

Andersen Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

The elderly women that works here is super sweet and i love their bread/tiramasu!!!!!

This would be 4 stars if the customer service were better but every visit is worse than the last. The final straw was when they refused to make a sandwich on a croissant because "it gets soggy". I explained that I was happy to pay extra like I have in the past and that sogginess had never been an issue for me. He was obviously annoyed with my questions even though I wasn't rude. I honestly didn't understand why I couldn't give them more money to make a sandwich I love even though they have made 20 times before! Sadly, I left and have not returned. read more

yay!! Love this place! Their creamy french is so good! I really don't know anywhere else that has this. It's a baguette with cream inside. I usually get two to three of these and have them sliced. I also tried their other pastries and they're pretty good but the creamy french is probably my favorite. Last time I was here, I ordered their chicken avocado sandwich on sourdough. Oh boy that was so yummy. I mean the avocado was so fresh. I was so surprised! I had ordered this later in the day and the bread still looked fresh. I'm a sucker for sourdough and Andersen's sourdoughs are pretty good. The staffs are super nice and helpful. I was dining in and wanted some water. Without even asking the staff refilled the water jug! They also keep their tables clean so that's always a plus. This place is located next to Sears. A long way from where I usually park, but I'll make that trek for some creamy french! read more

Worst bakery. I order 25 dollos of sandwich bread soup salad. They ask me 10 cent for tiny butter. Bad, bad, bad!!!! read more

Andersen Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

My husband and I stopped by today and got the creamy French and the garlic cheese bread. The bread was delightful and tasted super fresh. We also received excellent service from Tony who answered all our questions and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our experience. We will most definitely be back. Thank you Tony and Andersen's! read more

I miss the Andersen at Eastridge :( this is the closest one to me. Creamy French - today as the gentleman was slicing it, I thought, "wow, it's still crunchy at 3:00pm? Nice!" turns out, it was burnt, had a bitter taste to the bread mixed with the sweetness of the cream inside. Chocolate croissant - flaky, moist, rich, a little too sweet Almond croissant - flaky, sweet from the confectioner sugar sprinkled on, but also not too sweet Plain croissant, nice flaky outside, not very buttery inside, I like mine tasting buttery :( Cheese Danish - cream cheese has the right sweetness to it, flakes easily, leaves crumbs everywhere on your lips/face :) haha. But the pastry itself helps to neutralize the sweetness Plain croissant is larger than the flavored croissants, but the flavored is 10¢ more ... A little ripped off :( Customer service is quick, their stations look clean ... And I remember the little girl behind the counter used to work at the Andersen at great mall :) wow, she's been working for the company a long time! read more

Most delicious breads and pastries for a carboholic like me! I love the jalapeño and cheese breads. The sweeter pastries are all good too! All their food tastes fresh and yummy. The breads are always super soft and never disappoint. The staff is always really friendly and nice when greeting customers and taking orders. Yum tip: get your breads warmed up and sliced for instant enjoyment in the mall! Oh, and make sure you have extra napkins before you leave since your hands can get pretty oily. read more

Andersen Bakery - International cheese bread! Get it warmed up and sliced!! - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

Loved the avocado vegetarian sandwich here, plenty and delicious. Sitting on the benches near it in the streaming sunlight at the mall is a fun experience. read more

I agree with Julie N., the manager was very rude. She actually got better the 2nd time around and tried to make a conversation, so I give her credit for that. She got upset at me since I ordered a sandwich then switched it to the half sandwich/half soup. She told me that she had to delete the entire screen and start all over again. :( My sandwich was made with dijon mayo which I didn't want, but they accidentally gave me a full sandwich so no complaints here! :D And, the lady who was making the sandwich was very nice and hope she doesn't get in trouble for accidentally giving me the entire sandwich! I like their BLT, creamy french and almond croissants. I used to get the creamy french all the time as a kid. Brings back good memories when it was Grand Dior or something like that. read more

Had a gift card I wanted to use, but was told they "don't have gift cards anymore", so they had no way of processing my transaction; I was redirected to the Great Mall location. At this location, I was told "this is from a long time ago, and we don't use these anymore." Under California law, my card doesn't expire. read more

They do not want to slice your breads for you. I've been getting these breads since I was a kid and I've never heard of any other locations refuse to do this. I would rather not buy anything because I'm not going to bite on a whole baguette while I'm walking around the mall. I saw someone post that it's due to labor shortage, but there was 4 people behind the counter and no customers on a weekend... read more

This is the place to go for your bread kneads! I always come here for my jalapeno cheese bread, baguettes and sliced white bread. The location is in oakridge mall so it can usually get pretty packed depending on time of day. The best time would be in the morning when everything is fresh out of the oven. Dont go to late or they will run out of all the good stuff! I highly recommend the jalapeno cheese bread and the sweet french bread. The perfect sweet and savory combo. read more

My son love creamy French, so my family usually stop by here. But what we received today, I have to give this store 1 start for customer service. 1. I paid $3 for a creamy French, not for a blank Bread!!! 2. The attitude of the employee is so bad( the beautiful white lady who took my order today- 1:37 March 25th) she seemed to look down on me, and didn't want to take my order. From now on, I will never come back this store. read more

Andersen Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

Watch your debit cards at this location. My boyfriend and I are not from this area, and this was the only place we used the debit card. The cashier did something weird with our card (like typed in numbers into a phone but it looked like a company phone so we weren't sure?) Very next day our bank called us with "suspicious charges" done in San Jose. REALLY?? We tried calling into corporate to make a claim but doubt it will go anywhere.....so pay cash or just watch for weird charges on your cards after using it at this place. read more

Standing inline this morning looking at everything in the display window INCLUDING THE FLY LANDING ON EVERYTHING..... If you've ever seen the 1986 film "The Fly" you'd understand my abrupt exit. AB you just lost my business read more

Omgoshhh the jalapeño cheese bread is the best creation ever. This place never caught my attention until my friend offered me a price of her jalapeño cheese bread. I was shocked at how good it was. You can not go wrong with fresh soft warm bread,cheese and jalapenos. It was the only thing I tried and the only thing I want to eat from here now. read more

Andersen Bakery - There it is - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

This place went downhill!!! I think there is new management but the quality of the sandwiches aren't the same. I feel like they charge alot and barely put anything in them. The ladies working there don't listen to the customers either. There's one young girl who is not properly trained at all and has no idea what comes on the sandwiches or how to properly communicate with the older lady who is making them. I asked if there was mayonnaise on it and the older lady said yes and I said no mayonnaise please just add spicy mustard. As I'm waiting for my order I'm told that the sandwich I chose doesn't come with cranberry walnut bread and I can't get it. I'm confused because the tv monitor clearly shows the sandwich I ordered on that bread...anyhow ok fine I'll get sourdough. Once I receive my order something tells me I should check the sandwich before I leave and good thing because there so so mayonnaise on after I said no mayo. The girl hands it to the older lady and when I get it back there's no mayo but no spicy mustard either. Just a dry sandwich....at this point I've already wasted almost 20 mins here all together. When I get the young girls attention again I told her there's no mustard either. She rolled her eyes and gave it back to the older lady. At this point the older lady looks irritated too and I heard say "She said she wanted it dry"! I quickly responded back and said no I said no mayo add spicy mustard. Clearly people aren't on the ball here and don't listen to the customers or the people taking the order. This has probably been the worst experience here and I won't be going back. To the owner/manager I would hire people that are more qualified for the job and can understand English. read more

Vincent and Melvin are the sweetest guys. They are so friendly and gave us the best pastry recommendations! We enjoyed our sandwiches we and we went with the desserts they said were the best. I hope to run into them again on our next visit. Oh and we got creamy french for the long drive home, they did not disappoint. Thanks V and M!!! read more

Ok, they don't have them ready made, but if you ever need a cake get either the dream cake or the chocolate ganache cake. They need to be ordered 48 hours in advance, but the cakes are so good and at very reasonable prices too ($40 for a quarter sheet cake!) the breads are always amazing too. That being said their prices are going up pretty rapidly (the 1/6 sourdough went from $3.50 to $5.25 within a year) and I can't understand why this is happening when the sizes aren't changing and wages aren't going up that fast either. read more

I love the bread at Anderson's bakery, and this location is so convenient! They make my favorite shokupan (Japanese milk bread) here, so I was excited to purchase a loaf. After paying for my purchase, though, I was informed that they were out of shokupan. I opted to take a loaf of regular white bread instead, and I was given a free pastry for the mistake and inconvenience. Definitely pleased with my experience at this location! read more

Their chicken pesto sandwich is bomb af! The pesto sauce is the best part of the sandwich. All their ingredients are fresh too. Only downsides is their long lines especially during lunch time. They don't have enough people working, which results in delayed services for in-person and online orders. read more

Great sandwiches.....my favorite is the chicken and avocado on Nine-grain bread. Their pastries and bread are always hit or miss. I wish I could sample it before I buy the loaf. There have been several occasions where I purchased a loaf of bread for dinner or family gathering and it was hard, tough or tasteless. Their pastries are pretty good...its generally gobbled up before I leave. Their customer service is a little on the rude side. Yesterday my husband ordered a sandwich and the gal ringing us up didn't hear him and said "WHAT??!!" in the rudest loudest manner I have experienced in a long time. She practically snapped at us that I had to jump back for a second. I thought she might bite us!! Otherwise this place is good...better then most sandwich places in the area. read more

All of their breads are so good!!! Even their cranberry walnut loaf which wouldn't be my first choice, but delicious! Love how everything is so fresh! Staff is super friendly as well! read more

The best fresh food and bread. Excellent service in Oakridge mall!!!! Miss the store want it to open.

I used to love Andersens: pesto bread, international, garlic cheese, creamy french, pizzano...etc. I used to LOVE their clam chowder and sandwiches...key word, USED TO. The last few times I've been here, the quality has really gone down. They hardly put any toppings on/in their specialty breads. What really disgusts me is their clam chowder. You can tell that their clam chowder is so old that it's literally orange! You can tell it's been sitting their so long that the potatoes are practically non existent because they've turned into mush. Their chowder does not have a creamy consistency. The service remains mediocre. Some new employees are nice, but are inexperienced and apparently do not know when to clean the tables. NONE of the tables have been cleaned. I was not even given any napkins, and when I asked for some, they gave me ONE. Oakridge Andersen's is just absolutely horrible and I would strongly recommend going elsewhere if you want good bread or good soup. read more

See all

The service and the bakery is great. I always get a Creamy French when ever I pay this bakery a visit. At this mall, they have a bunch of little tables for you to sit down and enjoy but its not as lively as I would like it. Kind of boring while you eat, considering you are at the back of a mall. Peaceful I guess would be the word to put it after a long days of shoppppping ! Pros - The food is great so are the beverages. Quiet so you can relax. A big plus is that, the lines are always short. Cons - In my case, I wish it was more lively. Grab a Creamy French my friends and you will be happy. read more

ham and swiss on sourdough.. always always always always hits the spot for me. they have an amazing pesto mayo and i love alfalfa sprouts because of this bakery! whenever i get the half and half i get a cup of tomato ravioli soup! i havent had a sandwich here in a while so i dunno if it still gets high marks.. it was in its prime when it used to be called Grain'dor but when im not eating a meal here, i always grab a bunch of other carb goodies like the International Cheese bread. OMG!! its gotten more pricey over the years but it's a MUSTTT have. don't forget the Butter France. my dads favorite. he gets it sliced by them and then eats it with butter all day long. read more

It is hard to walk by this place and not get anything with all those delicious sweets just sitting there (and sometimes they have free samples!!!). Today I got the tiramisu and pistachio macaroons. The tiramisu was not the best I have ever had, but it was still pretty fantastic. I really enjoyed how they did not make it too sweet and the texture was just great. The pistachio macaroons was pretty weird, and I am not sure if it was worth the $1.25 because I finished it in a bite, but i did really enjoy it. Will definitely indulge myself here again read more

The worst experience ever...... I been coming to this location for the passed 4+ years never was given steale bread keep in mind I order soft French which I was told around a year ago it was one of the softest breads,ever since I been ordering my sandwich with this bread. The person making my sandwich has been working there for a while already cuz I seen him almost every time I come here and COME ON if you are cutting in to the bread you knew this bread was steale why would you still give it to your customer and on top of that I asked for no tomatoes yet there was tomatoes which I'll let go because I just pulled that out. read more

This review is for the creamy French only because this is the only thing I order at this bakery... If you're in the mall, low on cash (such as having only $2.25 in your pocket), and craving something sweet, then get the creamy French. It's a relatively simple dessert - a 12 inch baguette filled with custard and cut into bite size pieces. This dessert is so good that I devour the whole thing while walking on my way out of the mall. When I get to the parking lot, the creamy French is all gone. I'm so sad since I should've ordered two! Check this out! read more

I always come here for my breakfast or Lunch when I go to the mall. I recommend theyre turkey Swiss avocado sandwich on white bread. I also love their eclairs. Very affordable and their food is really good! The place is always clean and the staff is always welcoming ! Great customer service! Thank you! read more

Chicken avocado all the way baby!! I also get the lunch special which comes w/a sandwich and your choice of soup or salad. Salad choices: Garden or Ceaser. I usually go w/the Garden salad. OH...FYI...I love there tomato ravioli soup but don't bother....they discontinued it!!! BOO HOO! Anyway, bottom line I highly recommend it!!!! Oh one more thing, don't forget the pickle!!!! :) read more

The chicken salad sandwich and jalapeño bread are a perfect lunch mix. The bread is always fresh and service is quick. I will be back very soon. read more

Andersen Bakery in Oakridge Mall is now back open! I've loved this bakery for years.
