    I cannot say enough wonderful things about East Bay Bakery. Their baked goods are truly amazing…read more Currently, I have a family member going through cancer treatment, and as her appetite has been very low, I try to bring her whatever she is craving to help out. The only thing she consistently requests--once or twice a week--are treats from East Bay Bakery. It is the one thing she will always eat! While their almond croissant is an absolute favorite, you honestly cannot go wrong with anything they make. Thank you, East Bay Bakery, for bringing so much comfort and deliciousness to our family. We are customers for life!

    I tried some of their bakery from the Walnut Creek farmers market on the weekend. I love their…read morerosemary focaccia bread. It is soft, moist, not to oily, and has the perfect amount of rosemary and salt particle sprinkled on top. I can eat the focaccia straight up out of the bag while walking around the farmers market. We also tried to selection of their other baked goods. They have a good variety nothing too sweet. I decided to go to their Brick + Mortar location in Danville on a weekday around lunchtime (Wednesday). I was a little bit disappointed as they did not seem to have a large quantity or variety of baked goods. They only sell focaccia bread on the weekends, they said. Some of the baked goods we ended up getting since we were already there were from the display I guess it seemed like on weekdays they don't tend to bake a large quantity. It makes sense to me, however a little bit disappointed as I figured going to the mothership would yield me a greater variety. But it sounds like if you want variety and freshness it's best to go on a weekend, or go to the farmers market where they're at. Service was quick and friendly. There was one bigger baking in the back, and one cashier. The place was pretty quiet as it was a weekday and no one else was there. But also appeared clean and bright and well air-conditioned on this hot day. I do not recommend going to this location on a weekday. I would be interested to come back on a weekend to see what it's like. Either way Walnut Creek farmers market is a must go if you want to check out their variety.

    Went in again for breakfast between appts and I traveled 40 minutes to get here (and back) around…read more9:30ish-10ish. That tells you what I think of the food. Amazing. Some of the clientele can be a bit rude if you are not who they expect in that environment (iykyk), but that's Danville/Contra Consta County in general I think. For ex. a grandma came in with her grandson. I smiled and waved at him on the way in. While they were leaving, she completely hit my chair to the point where I almost fell out of it, and she didn't even apologize, but that's not the cafe's fault. I only write this to let you know expect some of that behavior. Another elderly gentleman kept coming in front of me while I was completing my bakery order b/c he couldn't wait to be served, etc. but other elderly patrons were lovely. Ordered a spring omelet and got something else instead (with meat!), and they corrected the mistake w/o making me feel bad and gave me extra potatoes. I got to steep my tea the way I wanted to!!! Next time I'll ask for extra hot water. Sat outside during the light rain by myself, so pleasant. Got baked goods and I shouldn't have assumed they didn't have proper pasty boxes for it all, they do. You just have to ask that all your baked goods don't go in one box. The amicable server last time, took my order this time as well. She strives to make everyone feel comfortable and the morning rush shows this. Got 4 cupcakes and she suggested the mango, omA so freaking good! Not too sweet or greasy which is a common problem with dedicated gluten free goods. I only ordered 4 cookies this time and both the scones. I should have gotten a whole box of those lemon blueberry scones, divine! Came home and my daughter said you didn't get a brownie, oh gosh, sorry, next time! This is by far the best dedicated gluten-free restaurant in all of the Bay Area. It trumps Mariposa's, it trumps Pushkin's in Sacramento (not in the Bay Area, but I have enjoyed their restaurant while I am there), it trumps Stacks which have dedicated gluten-free menus, but I've always had reactions after eating there. I've never had a bad stomach reaction after eating here and I am just so happy this place exists.

    I was at "Life is Sweet Bakery & Cafe" for a quick visit on a sunny Wednesday afternoon…read more I just wanted to see their selection of cookies. Maybe they had some Oatmeal Raisin. I walked in and was immediately greeted by a young lady behind the counter. I decided to try a variety of cookies on display in the case. I went with- Oatmeal Raisin, Peanut Butter, Cookies 'n Cream, and Snickerdoodle. So 4 cookies, total $19. Good, fresh and tasty cookies. Not too sweet. Cafe was clean and neat. Lots of tables inside, and some outside. I will definitely return if I'm in downtown Danville again.

Worth $5.50? Debatable Russe Pistachio: great pistachio flavor "Mango" and "Pistachio": fun and adorable, so realistic looking. The texture combination of hard outer shell and soft creamy inside is not for everyone. I got these more for the novelty. Not something I would get again Crunchy vanilla lemon: the white chocolate made this too sweet for me Princess cake: our favorite of the cakes we got Pistachio latte: realllly good. Wish I'd gotten the larger size Parking is easy here as it's across from the Safeway. It does get crowded (we came on a Saturday) and the shop itself is not big but there's some tables outside. Service was friendly but there was a lot of multi tasking going on. I didn't feel neglected though and would not rate them down for this. I'd come back, but probably not for the cakes. I'm also about 30 mins away so it'd be a deliberate decision

My go-to is always their fruit-shaped treats, especially the mango, but somehow I end up grabbing a little bit of everything else each time too. Ahh, my guilty pleasure!

    I tried every possible option to reach this business, ...via their website's internal messaging…read moresystem, tried calling, even their social media account. No one ever got back to me about making a wedding cake for my daughter's reception.. It has been over 3 months. Super unprofessional and they lost out on my busess of several thousand dollars.

    POST WEDDING UPDATE: After the cake tasting and deciding on using Ma Petite Maison, we asked Negar…read morefor a contract (she calls it order form). After a few weeks, we finally got it. It did take some effort (several emails and voice mails). A couple of weeks before the wedding, I wanted to know where/when the flowers from the florist should get delivered so that she can put them on the cake. When I didn't hear back from Negar, I contacted my florist and she responded immediately that I don't need to worry. Negar delivers the cake to the venue, and the flowers are added there. Phew! So my only negative comment is that communications is not great, but persevere because the cake will be worth it! On the day of the wedding, seeing that beautiful cake on the table, it was just what we had imagined. We got great advice from Negar that we should order only enough cake for about 75% of your guests, and sure enough, that was plenty. Not only was the cake beautiful, but it tasted just as good. It was so moist, and you can really tastes the strawberry flavor in the filling. It was just as we remembered from the tasting. We had so many compliments on the cake. So don't give up if you can't reach Negar. She does everything herself, and is a totally sweet person to work with. The cake will be worth it.
