We ordered a custom cake for our daughter's second birthday. Since we didn't want to restrict our little two-year-old from enjoying her own birthday cake, we chose this bakery because they use simple, wholesome, high-quality ingredients. When I placed the order, I mentioned that my daughter absolutely loves cats and said it would be wonderful if they happened to have any cat-themed decorations, although the bakery didn't promise that they would. They were very thoughtful and patient in communicating all the details with me. When I picked up the cake, I was genuinely amazed--it was even cuter than I had imagined! And sure enough, my daughter was SO happy to have a delicious kitty cake for her birthday. Seeing how excited she was made the cake even more special. You can really feel how much care and love they put into what they do. We had such a wonderful experience and highly recommend this bakery! read more

It's such a busy plaza and always tends to be packed so parking here can be rough! I sometimes stop by to pick up breads for my mom and occasionally treat myself to an onigiri or two. The ones with the green vegetarian label, edamame kombu and tofu, pass the vegan vibe check. The staff is always welcoming, and if they're out of my usual onigiri, they kindly offer to make one in about five minutes, which is really nice. I'd love a few more vegan options, especially the baked goods, but I completely get that this isn't a vegan bakery so I don't hold it against them. read more

Went to Clover Bakery around noon and the store is on the smaller side so it was a little crowded but line moves fast. Vanilla donut (3/5): Donut was soft but the vanilla pudding filling tasted a bit artificial Mushroom and burdock bun (3/5): Bun was dense and cold and I think it would taste better warmed up. The filling itself could have been seasoned more, there was a lot of the sesame flavor which made the bun taste bitter Fried chow mein bun (3.5/5): Similar to the mushroom bun but with a fried exterior. I liked the concept but wished it was warmed up. The chow mein itself could have been more flavorful Ham & veggie sandwich (5/5): Friend ordered this and said this was her favorite item! Bread was soft and good amount of condiments and vegetables that were well seasoned. She said this was good value Spicy tuna sandwich (4/5): Friend ordered this and she liked it but it was a bit too spicy for her liking Strawberry cream sandwich (3/5): This item is exactly what you imagine it would taste like, nothing too special. The bread was soft and there was a generous amount of cream but compared to the other items, this was just average Overall, the baked goods were average but my friend really enjoyed her sandwiches. Would give Clover a 3.5 as a vegetarian, rounding up to 4 since I would come back to try other items. read more

Located in San Jose by the border of Santa Clara, parking is plentiful but availability is limited. There was also a line but it moves pretty quickly. They had a good selection of various goods from onigiris/musubis to pastries and drinks. I highly recommend the onigiris and musubis. So delicious and they have many flavors to choose from. Tap to pay is accepted. Overall, Clover bakery has some delicious goods. Food is fresh and service is good. read more

Clover Bakery & Cafe - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

I love how homey and welcoming this place feels the moment you step inside. The café is on the smaller side, but it has never felt overcrowded whenever I've visited. Customers usually come in, grab what they need, pay, and head out, which keeps things moving smoothly. One of the best things about this bakery is the incredible variety of pastries and breads. Whether you're craving something sweet or savory, there's plenty to choose from: melon pan, loaf bread, dinner rolls, chow mein bread, spaghetti bread, sweet potato bread, crab and roe bread, tomato bread, apple pie, and so much more. Don't skip the refrigerated section either! They carry fruit sandwiches, tuna sandwiches, fried bread, donuts, somen noodles in a cup, and other delicious grab-and-go items. They also offer rice balls and drinks that can be ordered at the register. If you're in the area, definitely stop by and give them a try. Small businesses like this deserve our support! read more

I came by Clover Bakery around 11am on a Tuesday and there were about 5 other people perusing the goods. It's adorable inside, warm, and well stocked with almost all of the options. I took a look through the many different sweet and savory offerings, I grabbed a sweet potato danish since it was unique and not something I'd seen elsewhere. The danish was wrapped in cling wrap and packaged inside another sleeve, and was not too sweet, perfectly fluffy and filling as a quick late breakfast option. It was also reasonably priced at only $3.50, and it seems most options were under $5! It's been a while since I've stopped by Clover Bakery, but this visit really reminded me why it's a neighborhood staple for so many years, and I'll definitely consider coming by for some curry pan and other goodies in the near future. read more

It's very hard to find a Japanese bakery in the U.S. so we were super excited when we saw this place. This is a small cute bakery that pretty much have everything that you would expect - from savory to sweet. They have some very interested items such as spaghetti bun. Certain items are expected to be sold out by the end of the day so I recommend to check them out by mid-day. They offer sales toward the end of day so that they will have fresh items every day. read more

I happen to see this bakery after lunch when I was walking around the Strawberry Park shopping center. I went in to check it out. It's a Japanese style bakery with sweet and savory pastries, sandwiches and onigiri. They had two long shelves of baked goods. Everything was displayed nicely. All the baked goods looked amazing. They also sell drinks and spam musubi. I grabbed a tray and tongs and picked some pastries to try tonight at home. I got a mini apple pastry, sweet potato butter bread, custard cream cornet, a custard creme danish and a blackberry danish. Everything looked so good. There are tables or chairs inside. This is a grab and go cafe and it's very convenient if you need a quick bite and are on the go. I got in line to pay. I quickly made it to the register and paid. The employees were so friendly and polite. I'm so glad I stopped by here today. Update: We tried these last night (2/12/26) and they were all amazing. Not overly sweet either. Loved it! read more

We had not been here for a while after coming here for years. We used to come here on weekends to pick up pastries to go or have lunch there. Staff were always friendly and polite. My daughter was home last Friday and was craving their spaghetti buns. She called Clover a little bit before their closing and found out that they still had one spaghetti bun left. The lady answering the call was very nice and agreed to hold it for her. We drove there immediately and arrived right before they closed at 5pm. We're not surprised that they had barely anything left on the shelves when we got there. Fortunately, they still had some colorful meringue, which my daughter couldn't resist. Need to go there earlier next time. I really miss their katsu sandwich/spaghetti lunch set, rice balls and musubi's. They also have a good selection of both savory and sweet pastries at very reasonable prices. Their cake and cookies are also cute and not too sweet. My daughter loves their Italian sodas as well. read more

After many many many many many years, I finally tried their spaghetti bread! I don't why I hesitated all these years.....maybe the thought of having carbs on carbs but it's not like I've never done that before. As a kid, I would make a pancit sandwich with wonder bread and I know my fellow Filipinos have done that! The spaghetti is sweet and I enjoyed the addition of hot dogs and Parmesan cheese. I'd recommend trying it at least once in your life. Also didn't know they had musubis and onigiris which you order at the register. Will definitely try when we return. read more

I've been a regular at Clover Bakery for many years and it's my favorite Japanese bakery. Their bread is always fluffy and soft, and the variety of offerings keeps me coming back. My favorite is their mentai masago pan, yakisoba pan, and their katsu burgers. They sometimes sell out of different breads throughout the day and replenish them. They also sell onigiri's and drinks. I've also ordered a full cake to celebrate a birthday before. I've tried most of their items and have enjoyed everything! Servers are always nice and friendly. The shop is kind of small and there's frequently a line on the weekends. Parking lot can get quite full since it's the same plaza as Mitsuwa, Daiso, and many other restaurants. read more

Very busy local Japanese style bakery. The line moved relatively quickly though. Its a cute little spot next to some other good food stops as well as Mitsuwa Market. The onigiri are delicious but some of them arent available all day so check to see when yours will be ready. I definitely reccomend the egg salad sando if you're into those fluffy japanese bread sandwiches! read more

I've been coming to Clover for nearly a decade and am still a regular! Not so much has changed with this small mom & pop bakery/cafe and love it's old -timey vibe. Everything is made fresh every day and relatively affordable to other bakery places or chains. They serve coffee, tea and Italian sodas here. But I would say their must try items would have to be their baked goods and onigiri (rice balls). It's non-negotiable! From sweet pastries like mochi donut balls, red bean or danishes they have savory baked goods like shrimp burger or jalapeno hot dog bread. My favorite onigiri here area the takana/mentaiko, ikura salmon or just salmon. Their spam musubis are also very popular here. Sometimes there may be a wait on rice balls if they are out so they can prepare them, but they are very fast. Their strawberry sandwiches and strawberry cakes are deliciously light, not too sweet and a perfect treat if you're in the mood for strawberries and cream. The staff is always kind and working away to get items out. They also accept credit card as well. Be mindful they are closed on Mondays. read more

Clover Bakery is a cute Japanese bakery with plenty of options. The plaza itself is busy on weekends. Parking may be difficult to find. The bakery has a lot of foot traffic. Multiple items were sold out in the afternoon but staff were working to restock some items. Onigiri is reasonably priced and cheaper in comparison to other markets. Staff was helpful and quick despite the line growing overtime. Will be returning for the delicious onigiri and amazing price for value. read more

Old school Japanese spot that offers really authentic pastries, and musubi's and onigiri that you would enjoy as a snack. They also have egg sandwich sandwiches and spicy tuna sandwiches like the other yelpers say it was a bit on the smaller side than what I expected, and the spicy tuna was actually really spicy. I loved my red bean pastry and for the Price in the area. This is actually pretty good. I would say overall worth the visit to grab some quick pastries bites to eat and also I saw that they offered drink drinks. I didn't get any this time but maybe next time I'll try that. The service was quick and usually there was a steady stream of customers coming in and out so the line was about medium so expect a wait about maybe 5-10minutes. read more

Their bread isn't the fine fusion Japanese French bakery you'd think of (due to the danishes, croissants, etc) but instead purely Japanese and its goals of milk bread galore. For example, their croissant is literal milk bread...not flaky layers of buttery deliciousness. Their Japanese milk bread is weak and not chewy either (but when attached to stuffing, the bread goes well). However their musubis, onigiris, and sandos are although pricey, fabulous. The assortment and well mix of flavors should be enough to get you through their doors. Originally, I was against purchasing their sandos (because c'mon now... simple ingredients and the hefty price tag?) until I saw a group in front of me purchasing literally 6 strawberry sandos (they are tiny!!! With crusts cut off, filled with strawberry cream and fresh sliced strawberries and sliced diagonally, it's $2.50! Now I'm a firm believer and purchase at least one every single time I'm here. In the past, this place used to be a madhouse due to TikTok... these days, on the weekends, there's sparsely a line out the door. During the weekdays, you almost never hit a line. Their cakes are frugally simple. Their fried sustenances are strangely not chewy. They have the same staff year around..... have to try this place at least once! read more

This is the only Japanese bakery I go to in the Bay Area. No bakery serves soft, savory buns (spaghetti, fish, and katsu wrapped in banh mi style) and cutely decorated melon pans, including the variety flavors of handmade rice balls. Not even Anderson Bakery can make it fresh. They also have strawberry sando, which is made of fluffy white bread and soft whipped cream, much better than any Japanese grocery market. Although it's a far drive from the East Bay, they do open early at 8 am every day, except on Mondays. The service is friendly, Japanese-style. Every time I visit, I end up with a haul of several buns, rice balls, and a musubi since it's difficult to find this good quality in the East Bay. This cozy store is small with a mini cafe bar, but there's no seating area, so it's best to take them home to heat up in a toaster, except for the cakes. Expect a long line on weekends and mornings. read more

They had a really good selection and i really wanted to try everything but had to practice some self-control! They sell out of some of their popular things so I didn't get to try some of the stuff. I definitely want to try their onigiri next time. I got the ham and cheese sandwich(?), and it was okay! This is just personal reference, but it was a lot of bread vs the filling and the ham and cheese katsu thing was a bit overseasoned. But if i'm in the area again, i'll definitely visit again. read more

I've been going to Clover Bakery for over 10 years now for their onigiri! This homey, hole-in-the-wall Japanese bakery makes the best onigiri and at a great price point too-$3 to $4.25 (compared to $5 next door where the seaweed is soggy!). I personally prefer Chinese buns or French pastries, so I haven't really tried their buns. They do have fascinating combinations like spaghetti and chow mein breads on top of the classic melon pan though. At one point, I noticed the onigiri quality took a dip with less filling, but now, they're back to their original perfection. I appreciate that the plastic wrap separates the seaweed and the rice to maintain the seaweed's crispness when eating, and it's the best feeling when the rice is still warm. My all-time favorite is the spicy tuna, and I usually also get the unagi, salmon with ikura, and spicy salmon. Clover Bakery has a special place in my heart! read more

Clover Bakery & Cafe - Onigiri - Bakeries Near Me - San Jose, California

Clover Bakery & Cafe is a small Japanese-style bakery and café that feels like the kind of neighborhood spot you randomly discover and keep coming back to. We walked into a cozy, compact space with shelves filled with freshly baked breads, pastries, and prepared foods, all arranged in a way that makes you want to browse slowly even though the shop is small. The atmosphere has that simple, welcoming feel reminiscent of the small bakeries you find throughout Japan, focusing more on quality and variety than on a large café setup. Seating is limited, so it is better suited for grabbing something to go rather than spending a long time inside. The biggest draw here is the combination of Japanese baked goods and savory items. The bakery selection offers a great mix of sweet and savory options, with classics like melon pan standing out for its crisp sugary topping and soft interior that stays light without being dry. The curry bread and croquette bread are also popular choices, both feeling comforting and freshly made rather than overly sweet or greasy. The bakery items are reasonably priced, which makes it easy to pick up multiple things without feeling like you are spending too much, and the variety means there is always something new to try. The onigiri selection is what really makes Clover stand out compared to a typical bakery. They offer a variety of rice balls with fillings like spicy tuna, tuna mayo, and unagi, making it a great option for a quick breakfast or light meal. The rice is well balanced and the fillings give each onigiri a different personality. The spicy tuna has a nice kick that comes through without overpowering the rice, while the unagi adds a sweeter, more savory flavor that works especially well with the slightly salty rice. The onigiri are a practical, satisfying choice for anyone looking for something more substantial than a pastry. Beyond the baked goods and onigiri, Clover also has drinks, sandwiches, and desserts including cakes and other pastries. The strawberry cake is a nice lighter dessert option, and the overall menu gives plenty of reasons to visit whether you are looking for breakfast, a snack, or something to bring home. The offerings feel thoughtfully selected, with enough variety to cover different cravings without making the menu feel scattered. Service is friendly and efficient, and the small size of the shop adds to the charm. Since it has become a popular local spot, some items can sell out during busy hours, so arriving earlier gives you the best selection. Parking can also be a little challenging during peak times, but the quick grab-and-go style makes the visit easy to manage. Clover Bakery & Cafe is a great stop for anyone who enjoys Japanese bakeries. The combination of fresh breads, affordable prices, and unique savory options like onigiri makes it feel different from a standard bakery. It is the type of place where it is worth picking up a few items and trying a mix of everything, leaving you with the sense that you have found a little neighborhood gem that delivers on both quality and variety. read more

This place used to be good with fair amount of toppings. My family and I have always looked forward to stopping by every time we are in SJ. This is the second time that we've received our whole order with very little toppings. Pictured is a Sake/Salmon Onigiri and all it has in it are flakes of salmon. Sad to say, this is the last time we are coming here and will have to go else where. Hopefully they will improve soon. read more

I'm a believer in their ikura salmon with salmon eggs onigri. You have to rip it up the right way. Once you do that, the seaweed was super crispy. The salmon filling was substantial. I got there late, so very limited selection for everything. I tried the fried bun with chow mein. How do they stuff so much chow mein in there? Bun was crispy. Not at all salty. I had a hard time finding parking in their lot. read more

Clover is one of my go to spots to visit when I'm in San Jose. They are a small bakery that has lots of japanese pastries, sandwiches, and onigiris that you grab from the shelves. They have trays that you can place the food items on. Service is nice and friendly. We got a variety of items, but the spicy tuna sandwich stood out the most because it had a good voice kick. There is no seating inside, it's a grab and go store. But there are benches outside where you can eat. read more

Vegan ? You have plenty of options as well. Prices are in the $ range, portion sizes are small and can satisfy a mini craving. Great place to pick up after school snacks. They have mini chicken teriyaki servings for $3 as well, which was surprisingly delicious given that it was not hot. read more

Stopped in at Clover Bakery today at the Strawberry Park Shopping Center. I've been wanting to go for a while, but I'm rarely in that area. My sister introduced me to Clover years ago and I've loved it ever since. Clover is a Japanese-style bakery with a variety of items like pastries, bread, pre-made sandwiches, cookies, croquettes, and rice balls. Today I picked up hot dog bread, a mini apple danish, and a custard cream bread. These are tiny little things that sell for $2.50 - 3.50. A couple other sweet items caught my eye, but I decided to take it easy on the pastries. I ate my treats over the course of an afternoon (while watching Netflix) and they were delicious. Other than their tasty food, I like Clover because it's a cozy bakery with handmade touches and because it's woman owned rather than a large corporate-owned chain. They have unusual flavors and combinations like strawberry sandwiches and chocolate chip melon bread. Their prices are very reasonable. There was no line at checkout and the cashier was very nice. I had no trouble finding parking close by on a Tuesday at lunchtime. The parking lot is shared by many shops and restaurants and can get very crowded on weekends. read more

This is a Japanese bakery with sale for onagi rice balls and spam musubi. It is very creative with all kinds of combinations and ingredients. The line was long . Right side was all the bread and pastry . In the middle was the mini gray cream cake . Left side was the longest line with over 15 type of rice balls and a few different kinds of musubi . They have a cute menu with the names of all the rice balls they made in the shop . Very clean and organized. Even though there was a huge parking lot by the front door , parking is a challenge especially on Saturday and Sunday . It is an interesting place to visit and try the food items . read more

It's all bread, cabbage, and breading. Discard half the bun for more flavor. 2.5: Spaghetti sandwich: interesting concept, but it doesn't work. 2.0: Pork katsu sando. Too little pork. Too much cabbage / bread. 1.0: Salmon onigiri. Almost no salmon or salmon flavor. It's just a ball of rice with a hint of salmon. read more

My most favorite Japanese bakery ever! I got my two favorite breads ever the mentaiko bun and the sausage jalapeno! They're so good.

Clover Bakery & Cafe is cute and neat! It has a variety of pastries and drinks with good portion and reasonable price. It's located in the super popular Mitsuwa Marketplace along with Teaspoon, Tomi Sushi and others. If you come here in the weekend, prepare to spend at least 15 minutes or more to look for parking. May the odds forever in your favor That being said, you'll be rewarded when you step inside Clover Bakery! The store looks inviting with an aisle against the wall with all the pastries you can imagine in your life. There's a table in the middle too with extra goodies and delicious stuff. Grab a tray and a tongue and the bakery is now your oyster! Go roaming and come back and share what you got There is very limited seating inside. Only a tiny table and two chairs so it's mostly grab and go at this bakery. I came on a Saturday at noon and the store was not crowded at all. I got a peach danish, a spam musubi, a chocolate chip green tea round puff and a strawberry milk. There was a bench just right outside of the store so my friend and I sat there and enjoyed our finds. I liked their spam musubi. The rice was moist and fragrant! The spam had the nice flavors and kicks. Everything worked well together and was comforting to eat. The strawberry milk was refreshing and not too sweet (which is the best compliment an Asian can give ) Perhaps because I didn't have chance to try the peach danish and the chocolate green tea puff till a day later, they didn't taste that spectacular to me. Overall, it was a nice experience visiting Clover Bakery, minus the parking headache read more

A glimpse of Japan in the bay area. Clover bakery is located in a busy plaza so parking on the weekends and during peak hours can be kind of crazy. The store inside is cozy with pastries on the side and in the middle. Their cooler has other offerings like sandwiches, cream donuts, mini-meals, and cakes. Line up along the drinks bar on the left to pay. You order the onigiri, musubi and items from the fridge at the pay counter. I come mostly for the onigiri, musubi and their agedashi tofu :) Onigiri selections are wide and can be found on laminated sheets along where the line forms. Our favs are: salmon and ikura and chicken teriyaki! The spam musubi is a fav too. Crispy spam, cucumber slice and the egg is made tamagoyaki style, so delish! The agedashi tofu is also a fav :) The dashi broth is packed separately so pour it over the tofu when you are ready to eat. Some selections for onigiri may have a short wait time during times the day since they are made fresh but the staffs are on it and will let you know. We love Clover bakery and will continue to come back :) read more

Cute little bakery for grabbing pastries. The space is fairly small but I like the wide variety of options including lots of interesting breads.

FOOD: The baked goods were so good! The breads were nice and soft even after a day or two! The spaghetti bread was worth the hype but personally too carb loaded for me but the spaghetti tasted great. I also tried the chow mein bread and surprisingly there were sausages inside the bread too! Odd combinations that just worked. We also tried onigiris. The ratio is a little off, too much rice in comparison to the filling but the taste was there. The ikura was clean tasting and delicious. They offer other fried items in one of the glass cases by the register too. They offer drinks as well. SERVICE: The service was quick even when the lines got long and still maintained a positive and friendly attitude. The cashier/front lady wad very helpful and patient whenever the customers picked their rice balls/onigiris. Wonderful and kind staff. AMBIANCE: Very small and tight mom and pop shop. Nothing fancy just straight to the point with their goods. Shared parking with other business. It can get pretty packed during weekends and during peak times so if you're claustrophobic or social anxiety be aware lol. There is a sign on the front of the building that once the shop is full that a line starts then once someone comes out one can go in or if two comes out two can come in and so on and so forth so please be mindful of that when visiting. Don't overcrowd the place. Highly recommend and totally worth the hype. Some items can be pricey but most are very reasonable. Would definitely come back when I'm in the area again. read more

Finally got around to trying Clover Bakery & Cafe, and I'm glad I did. It's located in the same plaza as Mitsuwa Market, which makes it a perfect stop if you're already in the area. The bakery itself is cozy and inviting, and everything in the display looks tempting. Most items are very reasonably priced, around $3-$6 each, which honestly feels like a steal these days. I spent about $30 and was able to try a good variety of pastries, and every item was solid. Nothing felt dry or stale, and the flavors were balanced without being overly sweet. Overall, everything I tried was tasty and well made. If you're in the area and craving baked goods, this spot is definitely worth checking out. I'll for sure be coming back to try more next time. read more

I placed an order for a 10 inch strawberry cake for a 7 year old girl. Upon pickup, the cake had boy decorations. The baker was able to change it and acknowledge their error. We didn't wait long and appreciated they quickly changed the decor. The boy decorations was cute but the new girl decorations was even better. It had white chocolate little figurines of rainbow, flowers, unicorns, and lady bugs. My niece loved her cake, it was exactly what she wanted: white cake with whipped cream and strawberries. The cake wasn't too sweet and the strawberries were ripe and juicy. The cake was also huge, it was more than 10 inches and can served over a dozen people. We had 10 people in our party and we still have half the cake left. Definitely worth it coming back for future cakes. read more
