    Flourless Chocolate Torte
    Wendy A.

    What an amazing job that Creekside Bakery did last year for my birthday! I chose the Flourless Chocolate torte with dark chocolate ganache. I bought two--one for my guests and one for the amazing staff at Las Guitarras restaurant. Creekside seamlessly coordinated with the Morning Glory florists next door to add the fresh flowers on top of the cakes. Their dining room is always hopping with patrons, and I recall enjoying a number of wonderful lunches here as well. It's such a pleasure to do business with this bakery.

    Friday 9:30 was really busy! Popular place before being featured on Check, Please Bay Area recently. Line was very long but moved relatively quickly. Located in a shopping area with a few small businesses, a Lucky's Market, and CVS. Lots of parking. Nice outdoor seating area, plus some tables inside. We ordered lattes and shared a butter croissant. Pastries are all made on site and delicious! I plan to visit again soon.

    Breakfast sandwich and salad
    Carina M.

    Such a cool vibe here and delicious menu that from what I was told, has some changes weekly so that's neat too. The bakery counter is full of yummy sweet and savory options. I grabbed a couple cookies and a savory scone to try later. As for breakfast, I got the breakfast sandwich and it was full of flavor and FRESH. It came with a side salad that was perfect balance. I ordered an iced tea (already had too much coffee but next time I will try their coffee) and it was fresh too. The staff were all super nice, attentive, and provided free refills of the iced tea as I dined in. The decor is a mix of cottage core, garden, and bakery / diner vibes. There's a lovely big shared seating table next to a huge circle window that overlooks the bridge over the creek. Super cute and cozy. The cake selection looked delicious! I didn't get to take any home, but I will definitely need to come back to try their Princess Cake. Overall, I will be back. This place is such a hip spot, great service, lots of folks enjoying a bite on their own or with company. And, there's tons of outdoor seating too. So if the sun is shining, that's a huge win to sit outside and enjoy some fresh air.

    Kid's hot chocolate

    Came on Mother's Day and the line was 50 people deep 5 minutes after opening. The food mostly lived up to the hype and I give them so much credit for knocking out the food relatively quickly! Savory waffle w/ an egg was good but a tad on the dry side. I think a poached egg would have made more sense on this dish to give it some kind of "sauce". Milk Bun Cinnamon roll was delicious! My kid loved the egg salad toast and my Mom enjoyed the Salmon toast. Brought home the Pimento cheese croissant and enjoyed that the next day. Snickerdoodle and Wedding cakes were just ok. I'll definitely be back to try more food!

    Custom cake order was 10/10 ! Really impress by the beautiful work and talent- and let me say I have extremely HIGH expectations and know quality. I've ordered many custom design cakes in my life from many different bakeries. I came in person on a Sunday (super busy) but needed it soon ....by Thur afternoon. Eek! I Had to wait , but met with the main guy who took my order and looked at my inspiration photos. Took a couple days to get a response if they could do it had to call and email a few times , but over all when I picked it up I was VERY happy and satisfied . Yay! Especially being a quick turnaround. The price was also very reasonable and not over the top . Thank you cake designers and Creekside . I'll be back . -Melanie

    Great sandwich with perfectly dressed fresh greens.

    CREEKSIDE BAKERY IN NOVATO is well known by the locals as an excellent place to gather and eat. I had not been there for almost 30 years, but I remembered it to be a quality place. It was the first bakery to introduce me to Princess Cake, a famous Scandinavian delight. As a treat I decided to have a piece. And since it was lunchtime I indulged in a nice veggie sandwich. Omg I was not prepared for the sandwich to be so outstanding. The layers were, fresh, bountiful, and beautiful. WOW! It is well worth the 20 dollar price tag that included a perfectly dressed salad. You can help yourself to cold water, which I do. This place was buzzing with customers. You order at the counter, and they will give you a number. My food came promptly. Several other customers admired my choice and asked which sandwich it was. Bravo all around. Everyone said they were delighted with their choices as well. The vibe is an upbeat jazzy feel, with plants, wood, and bright natural lighting. They have plenty of outside seating as well. This visit was a super encouraging experience.

    Swedish cookies they were so good
    Cat N.

    Oh my goodness, we read an article about the Creekside bakery because we are obsessed with eating anything Swedish being that I am Swedish. We got many things and the highlight being the pink princess cake! All the baked goods were exceptional. We loved a little Swedish cookies, and the berry Tart that we got and of course the princess cake. The only complaint I would have is just that I thought it needed one more layer of raspberry jam. They had a layer of raspberry jam, cream cake, layer of cream cake and then the dome I think on that middle one they needed to have the jam also but it was delicious. I can't wait to go back and get actual food. We got there late, so nothing was left to order but what a great place!

    Matcha and focaccia
    Kimberly L.

    Focaccia was delightful! Loved this cute little bakery. Everything is super fresh and tasty. My matcha drink was refreshing too. I'd definitely be back if I'm the area.

    Grilled cheese and a oat milk latte
    Kelsey L.

    Went for a hike and then grabbed breakfast with some friends here. It's a cute little place tucked away in a shopping mall next to a cute florist. You order and pay at the counter and then grab a seat. There's not a lot of indoor seating but plenty of seating outside. The service was great and efficient. We had oat milk lattes, grilled cheese, avocado toast and a BLT sandwich. The portion sizes are huge! All of us took leftovers home, which was nice. Definitely will be back if I'm ever in the area.

    Creekside bakery is this super cute and very popular cafe. They had so many quality food/beverage options to choose from. Very friendly folks and the service was quite fast for how busy it was. I would definitely be returning

    The bakery serves beautiful cakes and cookies as well as lunch. I'd recommend their avocado toast or the breakfast sandwich, which is excellent. It has spicy aioli, fresh bun and avocado. I get it with bacon. I wasn't as impressed with the prosecco as I thought it had no fizz at all and I tried it a couple of times. It's probably because they don't use flutes and it's not a known place for bubbly, so when they open a bottle it sits for a while. The indoor dining area has big windows that look out to the trees which behind is a creek, hence the name. This place has really grown, I hadn't been here since Covid and since then they have added a ton of outdoor seating which gets very popular on the weekends.

    Didn't eat at the cafe. Ordered cake, which was very good. Service was good. Friendly staff.

    I've been going to Creekside for several years now and everything I've had is excellent! It's tucked inside a shopping center. They are located on the side of CVS away from the street across the way from Morning Glory Florist. The first time I ordered something it was for my mom's Birthday. I got her a raspberry cheesecake and it was a hit! I ordered a box of pastries for a work meeting and everyone loved them. The pastries are a good size, fresh and flavorful. I like how they offer a wide selection of cookies, pastries and cakes. I picked up a 6" tiramisu cake for my mom's Birthday this year and I highly recommend it! They make it with sponge cake and a good amount of espresso and of course whipped cream. It's very decadent. I brought some relatives from out of town to purchase a Birthday cake, but unfortunately we came on one of the days they're closed. They are closed on Monday's and Tuesday's. Someone was inside though and they gave us a free bag of cookies. The service is always friendly. I've meaning to dine in and try brunch menu which I will have to do soon. The food looks delicious. If you haven't been to this bakery yet, it is worth checking out.

    Insomniacs and those looking for a solid cafe with good food beware…read more I've gone to dr insomniacs a number of times simply because it's the only cafe in downtown Novato. Like the previous reviewer said, this place is firstly overwhelming. The mile long menu boards are dizzying. I just want a solid Latte made with great coffee. I'm never in the mood to read a novel before I can order my coffee. The baked goods case looks like pure sadness and depression. They all look like they've petrified in that case for at least a month if not longer. You'd be better off at Whole Foods honestly and I say that begrudgingly because we all know the evil that took over that joint. It's shocking this place has this many stars, but I chock that up to Marin having some of the worst food options in the SF Bay Area. Such a shame because the location and the space are stellar. Stay far away from this doctor, they'll give you a case of the blues.

    Another visit and 5 stars. Delicious cafe au lait and blueberry cream cheese scuffin (scone and…read moremuffin combo). Coffee is flavorful and served very hot (looove) and it's just so delicious. The scuffin is super tasty, fresh, and just the right mix of crispy edges and soft center. The store is super hip and fresh and restrooms are clean. Service is quick and kind. So glad this place is in Novato as it's a great 'third place' at a time where those are few and far between.
