Edith is an amazing baker! The tarts, galette, danish, and sourdough all are fresh and wonderful! Very friendly service from employees, and a wonderful place to get something for breakfast and sit with a coffee or cappucino! read more

Wow so much variety!! When I walk into a patisserie I want to walk into one that's like B'anne because though it might be in Japantown it really felt like I was in France with the high quality pastry and sandwich options. The tomato olive croissant is so good and the brie and fig jam sandwich on a baguette was the perfect lunch. They have so many croissant options and other yummy baked goods and coffee, it's definitely worth a visit. read more

This was actually my second time coming to this coffee shop. The first time I came was about a month ago, but I came in around 1230 almost 1 o'clock and they were completely sold out of everything but there refrigerated desserts! Lol so come early!! Lol. I really like the fact they serve cats and clouds since it's a local Santa Cruz coffee shop and they have a great pour over roast coffees!! I always drink my coffee plaque without any creamer, sugar, so I was very impressed!! Service was great, there were two ladies behind the counter and bakers quickly moving in the back! Everything was very clean cut, and I was greeted as I walked in the door. I love the assortment of pastries they have and I thought the circular croissant thing I always forget what it's called, but it's almost like a muffin side and it had the perfect crunch outside and crispy. Then the inside was soft and gooey with the filling. I need to take pictures of the exact food I get, but I remember there was a really bad glare from the sun outside, so sorry I guess I'll have to go back again and try more pastries and let you guys know!

Didn't realize a new bakery sprang up in Japantown, but I'm here for it! I stopped by B'anne Bakery around 8:15am on a Wednesday morning. It had a cute storefront and an impressive display of various savory and sweet pastries as well as desserts. I got a few savory items for me and my family including a ham and cheese croissant, tomato and olive pastry, breakfast pastry (egg and ham), and spinach + egg + cheese pastry. I had the pleasure of trying the veggie pastry, which was excellent. The tomato and olive pastry was delightful as well. It reminded me of a pizza. I could've easily packed a box of their sweet baked goods, but all the reason to come back. B'anne Bakery also offered craft coffee drinks. I had a macchiato with caramel syrup. One of the employees prefaced that it wasn't like Starbucks, which I totally got. I was expecting it to be a true macchiato, the size of a shot. The macchiato was so smooth with the perfect amount of sweetness and dollop of milk. Lastly, customer service was great. Prompt service and friendly employees! read more

Visited after seeing wonderful photos & reviews of this new neighborhood bakery. We drove out to specifically try their blueberry scones, galettes, rye chocolate chip cookies. * Clean, very new, very shiny location * Arrived before 10, no queues, but also very limited options. * I greeted the staff member behind the display case & asked if they had galettes & chocolate chip cookies. Learned they sold out of galettes and scones, & didn't have cookies. "Are the cookies only offered certain days? Should I target a specific day of the week?" Curtly told, "Sometimes we offer them, sometimes we don't." We thought about leaving altogether after we struck out 3/3, but out of hunger chose to try an épis & chocolate pastry. Both were ok, but not especially worth a repeat visit. Will stick to other Japantown favorites & other SJ bakeries. read more

This place is amazing. The variety of pastries, which all tasted great! These guys did not skimp on the quality of ingredients nor the size of each item. I only wish that they offered Matcha drinks rather than just coffee based drinks. Service was friendly and quick. read more

B’anne Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

I've tried B'anne Bakery multiple times since they opened in February 2026. They have a wide selection of pastries and bread that are convenient to grab for breakfast or lunch, and their drink menu (serving Cat and Cloud coffee from Santa Cruz) is both reasonably priced. I had never tried Cat and Cloud coffee before seeing it here, but it has a pleasantly balanced flavor profile between fruity and nutty. My favorite pastries that I've tried here are their danishes and tarts. They also have a fig, arugula, honey, and goat cheese sandwich that is delicious. Baguettes and bread start at around $4 or $5. Pastries and sandwiches are more expensive, but comparable to market prices (ranges from $5-$8 for most pastries and $10-$11 for sandwiches). Service is quick and staff are patient and friendly. There's limited seating inside, so consider eating at a nearby park or taking your order to go if you'd have a larger group. It can get quite crowded even on weekdays, so come early if you'd like to have the widest selection of pastries available. The only suggestion I would have is to ask staff to heat up your pastry if possible so that they're fresh. B'anne Bakery is a great addition to Japantown and I'll be back for more! read more

I saw B'anne Bakery on Yelp just opened up recently in San Jose Japantown next to Hukilau. It takes over where Tsugaru Sushi Restaurant used to be. A small artisanal bakery with a few tables to sit at and relax. Ambience is simple, nice, and cozy. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Galette - sweetened apples in a flakey crust dusted with powdered sugar. Prices seem a bit on the pricier side. Support your local business. read more

Ahhhh! It's finally open! (RIP Tsugaru) B'anne has the most delicious flaky pastries and the most heavenly bread. We tried the chocolate sourdough (yum) the galette (berries in a flaky crust), and a classic baguette (what!?) I had the honor of meeting the owners on my trip and could see the love and intention they pour into each pastry! There is an espresso/coffee bar and adorable tables and seating options inside. The space is clean and inviting. Stop by between Thursday-Sunday when they are open! read more

I had the chance to attend the grand opening. I arrived fairly early (8:30), but it was already quite busy, and the wait was around 45 minutes. Most people were patient since it was the opening and the menu was new. The staff was very friendly and patient throughout. Everything in the display case looked delicious, and the smell confirmed it. I tried the chocolate chip banana bread, apple galette, rye chocolate chip, and braided cinnamon buns. All the items were tasty; each had a special touch. I just wish the cookies were a little larger. I'm going back. I'll give them a little more time so I don't have to wait in line so long, and like any business, I hope they can refine their processes. read more

Decided to check this out on my day off bc I really wanted to try the chocolate sourdough. Came at 8am right when they opened and there was a few ppl ahead of me. Cute interior, felt like a modern bakery which was different in an old small Japantown. Owner and staff seemed a bit rushed as a line formed behind me so customer service wasn't welcoming. Also, wasn't given a bag for my different pastries so I was struggling carrying all my pastries out. Was disappointed no sourdough or sandwiches until 11 so it was a limited selection of pastries in the display case. Ended up getting the chocolate chip banana bread, apple galette, and cinnamon brioche ball bun. * Chocolate chip banana bread - good but wished there was more banana flavor. * Cinnamon brioche - fluffy on the inside and good sugar coating but plain. * Apple galette - probably the best. It looked thick at first, but it was nice and flakey. Would get again. Overall, it was ok. Good but can be better and hoping they do as they are just starting out. Would also recommend staff wear hats or hair nets as part of a bakery. 3.5/5! read more

I really wanted to like this place, the pastries all look so good. Came on a late Saturday morning and it wasn't busy. Picked up 3 pastries to try and was so excited however I was disappointed that the pastries weren't warmed up for us. Not sure how long they were sitting out on the counter because the almond croissant was hard like a rock and I couldn't even chew it. I did like the spinach and feta puff pastry which was tasty but would have enjoyed it more if it was warm and fresh, I also was never asked if I wanted my pastries warmed up. read more

Thumbs up for this amazing bakery shop located in the heart of Japantown. I was able to come by on a Thursday morning which seems to be the best time avoid coming out here on a weekend tend to be the busiest and quite crowded with limited space. Customer service top notch greeted very warmly and they have their breads freshly oven baked. Yes, their prices are bit pricey but then again the quality is the taste texture and the aroma. I chose the baguette, croissants and Danish pastry along with a cup of iced mocha reasonably priced at $5. They have an array of baked goods neatly arranged with each with its own price tag. One can dine-in though not as spacious would be nice they've provide outdoor seating. Ample parking along side street 2 hour limit or meter parking. Would definitely be back only on the weekdays only wished they've extend their hours and have it seven days a week. read more

Very good bakery, although not a Japanese bakery despite the prime Japantown location. My wife heard about it on Threads. We are regulars at Aloha Fresh across the street and Nijiya Market down the block but had never noticed B'anne Bakery. They were sold out of a lot of their headliners so we had the Vegetarian Sandwich with Brie, arugula and fig jam, which I loved but my wife thought was just ok (because she's only meh on Brie but I seek it out). We had lots of baked goods also. Highlight was the chocolate chip cookies. So good! read more

We went to try the new bakery. We got there around 815am. A small crowd was inside, only a couple of people in line to order. The nice thing about the early opening is the meters are free till 9am. It took a few minutes to decide what to order. Everything looked fresh. The place had a great bakery smell. We ended up getting a apple galett,a sweet cheese Danish, cinnamon knot,and a strawberry kougin amin. The Danish had a crispy top and bottom.and a light flaky interior. Might go back on Sunday to try some of the other things read more

The chocolate chip banana bread was mind blowing! Not too long of a wait and cant wait to experience them again!

I really like buying Watsonville sourdough loaves at Whole Foods, it's presliced which I don't prefer but the quality and flavor is the best I could find until B'anne opened. Now I buy an unsliced Boule every week and it's so fresh as in fresh baked every morning. 15 dollars and worth every penny. Also excited to try all their other offerings. Let's keep this place alive, we need more businesses like this in our community. read more

Pretty good! Got the Apple galette and blueberry scone which were solid. They said they'll have sandwiches soon, so looking forward to that.

1st time to the newly opened bakery in San Jose Japan Town. came on a Friday Am, lots of parking & no traffic. a variety of breads & pastries. friendly & helpful counter staff, reasonably priced. ordered: chocolate chip sourdough bread (ccsb) $12 oatmeal bread (ob) $10 kouign amman strawberry (kas) $ 6.50 strawberry tart (st) $3.50 (1-5 ratings) ccsb: i tasted more chocolate than sourdough, although, you do get the sourdough texture. it was ok, in my opinion (2.5) ob: had a different flavor profile of other oatmeal breads, nice fluffy texture (3) kas: a denser croissant dough with strawberry filling (3) st: flaky pastry with minimal strawberry filling, ea bite was satisfying (4) overall, it was ok. i won't be back, but will venture out to other bakeries. read more

Delicious. We had a brioche bun, a cinnamon bun, cheese and herb scone, and cheese and spinach breakfast pastry. All fantastic

I stopped through on a Friday around 10:30am. They had no pastries, no bread, and only $3.50 rye chocolate chip cookies. You could sign your name on the waiting list for loafs, but they were clearly behind schedule as a man walked in saying he came to pick up his bread but was told to wait another 40 minutes. They did have all their coffee drinks available. They use Cat & Cloud beans from Santa Cruz, and a Nuova Simonelli espresso machine, but I don't think they're getting the best shots pulled. It's clean, it's new. They've made a concerted effort to make the place feel nice, but it's not anything special, at least not yet. I'll have to come back one day when they have a full spread, but I guess it's a soft opening for now. Oh, and they're only open Thurs-Sun - at least that's what the door said. read more

Tried their Apple Galette and Kouign Amann. Both were delicious. Kouign Amann was pretty much as expected (super high expectations) with a buttery, airy flaky dough. The galette was excellent too with perfect sweetness and tartness from the apples. I'll try their cinnamon roll next. read more

What a fantastic addition to the community. Food and coffee are both excellent and all of the staff are kind and welcoming. Highly recommended. read more

Cute little bakery in Japantown, decorated very nicely and for the most part they have some great breakfast treats. I think they will do better over time with the consistency in the quality of their bakery items. Gone 3 times and it's a bit of a hit or miss. Also they have not quite figured out how to price things for value. The loaf breads are reasonably priced but some other items are over priced(cinnamon bun, strawberry hand pie, galettes.) They had hot cross buns for Easter this weekend. $5 a bun (I know!) yet they were so small they really should've been advertised as mini buns. They were also not fluffy and soft but rather hard. Manresa has larger hot cross buns that consistently are soft and fluffy (and larger). I really want them to succeed but they have to price more reasonably and up their game on the quality of some of their baked items (they have such a wide variety of pastries that I have to go back a few times to try all!) but staff is so welcoming and friendly that I will be back. read more

Recently had a fruit danish and the sample crisps. The pastry dough wasn't overcooked and is much better than before! Thank you for making adjustments! read more

Glad they are finally open! I'm hoping they will be open more hours and offer more variety after what appears to be a soft opening, and also that they will add an additional register to reduce waiting time. Especially since Roy closes early, it would be nice to be able to meet there for coffee and something to munch after work. read more

Went to grand (or maybe soft) opening and tried the sourdough, banana bread, cinnamon bun, and the brioche bun. Loved everything but the brioche bun. Didn't hate that one, just thought it was kinda plain. I thought the sourdough was slightly expensive, but haven't compared to what a similar place like Manresa or Acme might charge. Overall, happy to see another business in Japantown and will definitely return again to try other items and some coffee. read more

I'm back again, just this morning actually! Picked up more goodies to try. I tried last week and they were sold out on a weekday morning! Great for business but not for the bakery treat craving. Back to today again, picked up a kouign amann and a chocolate croissant. Also got a blueberry scone and it's PACKED with berries. But I haven't eaten it yet. The chocolate croissant is delightful. It has a nice amount of chocolate inside, with well defined buttery layers. The chocolate and bread parts are well balanced in each bite. The kouign was not too sweet with a nice dollop of chocolate on the top. The layers were also nicely defined inside, with a crisp top. I am going to try the strawberry one next time. There is also a plain croissant waiting to be eaten. The staff is friendly, the bakery is very clean inside. I'm happy to see the neighbors are present and supporting this business. As I said before, the neighborhood needed a bakery like this. It has rounded out the local availability of baked goods. I am hoping later on they may expand into cakes and more breads. And even if they don't, I'm glad to have fresh baked sourdough available nearby. read more
