GK Pastry is absolutely amazing!! Thank you to my sister's gf for introducing us to this family owned bakery & all of its delectable carbs!! Wildly know for the super cute jar cakes, GK Pastry is so much more than that. Here you can find both savory and sweet focaccias, artisan sourdough breads, and an assortment of pastries. A few things I have tried: * Olive & Parmesan Sourdough * Pesto & Mozzarella Focaccia * Shiitake Mushroom and Gruyere Cheese Focaccia * Artichoke & Goat Cheese Focaccia * Beef Samsa Everything is so damn good!! Let me emphasize on "EVERYTHING". This joint is a sourdough carb lovers dream!! GK prides themselves on using only the freshest, organic, & natural ingredients. And if that already wasn't enough, there is so much quality and love behind each and every product made. Pricing is high but it is 100% justified. 5/5 stars, I'd enjoy these baked goods on the daily if that was remotely possible! This place comes highly recommended and if these high remarks don't do it for you... I'm sure the generous samples will! You're welcome in advance!
I am rarely out in the Mountain View area but I needed to pick-up something in the area. I did a search in bakeries in the Mountain View area and saw that GK Pastries had a high rating and reviews. I carved out time to visit the baker. I got to Mountain View early so I stopped at GK first. They had most of the baked goods available but still needed to finish baking the focaccia so I went to do my errand. I bought chocolate chip cookie, dark chocolate oatmeal cookies, oatmeal with raisins cookies, tomato and cheese sourdough, artichoke and truffle focaccia, mushroom and cheese focaccia, pistachio croissant, almond croissant, monkey bread and blueberry amaretti cookies, cinnamon bun and a loaf of sourdough country bread. All of baked goods were tasty, loved the focaccia and sourdough breads, the only letdown was the chocolate chip cookie, it tasted liked it sat out to long. The oatmeal cookies were very healthy and provably taste better with coffee, tea or a liquid beverage. I ate them as a snack during my walks so I didn't drink anything. The woman who helped me was nice. Quaint bakery. They had fresh warm samples in the morning when I got there. I was able to try out both breads that I bought. If I'm out in Mountain View again I will stop in and get some bread and focaccia, my favorites out of everything I bought.
GK Pastry is a grab and go bakery in Mountain View stocked with foccasia, bread loaves, cookies, jar cakes and so much more. What stands out about GK is their service. The owner is quite friendly and sweet. You can even tell by reading the responses to the reviews here on Yelp that the owner very clearly cares about the customer experience and making things right. We sampled a few breads in-store and were equally impressed by the quality. We ended up taking home tomato cheddar sourdough, oatmeal cookies with dark chocolate, and a mushroom Foccacia. * The tomato cheddar sourdough is excellent with a spongy texture and tangy flavor. We sliced it and threw it in the freezer to enjoy on lazy days. *The oatmeal cookies were delicious especially if you love chewy soft cookies. * Mushroom foccacia - this was a large portion, so I'm glad I shared this with my husband. The bread itself was a bit too soft for my liking. I prefer my focaccia to be a bit denser and crispy. The toppings were great- fresh with some acidity. Theres private parking lot right in front. They will heat up your Foccacia if you are ready to enjoy it. Theres not really any seating here but they do have two benches right outside the storefront.
A bit hyped? Maybe. Maybe not... I found GK Pastry to be very good, but a bit on the Pricey side. GK Pastry is definitely a bakery, at first glance I thought it was a cafe, but nope. There is no place inside to sit and enjoy the baked goods, grab your order to go. However, there is plenty of room for one to wait while your order is being prepped. Plenty of parking available in the plaza, so no worries there. #FocacciaEats: ~ Pistachio Dubai Chocolate Focaccia - 4/5 Brilliant interpretation of the trending Viral Dubai Chocolate theme. I haven't seen a Dubai Chocolate Focaccia until I devoured this. Very well done, not too sweet with a balanced amount of Pistachio and Chocolate. ~ Shiitake Mushroom Focaccia - 4/5 Another very good Focaccia. This is basically a slice of a Shiitake Mushroom Focaccia Pizza. Tastes exactly as advertised. I don't mind stopping by again if I'm in the area.
GK Pastry was a lovely find! I went early in the morning and they had a variety of croissants to choose from, jar cakes, breads, etc. I grabbed an almond croissant, chocolate croissants, and a pistachio croissant. I didn't catch his name, but the gentleman who helped me today was kind and had great energy for a Monday morning! I didn't notice any seating inside, but that would have been a nice addition. The croissants themselves were really yummy! The almonds were nice and toasty and the croissant was lightly buttery and flaky. My coworkers enjoyed the other croissants and commented how good they were.
I stopped by here to check out the bakery and grab one of the jar cakes. This is a nice little store. They have a variety of breads, treats, and jar cakes. The person at the counter was very friendly. He offered me tastings of a few different jar cakes and shared details about them. I decided to get the tiramisu jar cake which was really good--rich and flavorful. Although a bit pricy, the portion was huge. It lasted for 3 days, but don't be surprised if you finish it in a single sitting, it is that good.
Small bakery with amazing pastries, focaccia, and jar cakes! I first came here and got a slice of the focaccia of the day (which was a tomato and cheese one) and a pistachio croissant. The person working there asked us if we wanted it heated in advance, which was nice since we were about to head to the airport afterwards. The focaccia was delicious and soft. The pistachio croissant was divine. Good amount of crushed pistachios on top and the texture was great. I also picked up a jar cake, which I ate the next morning before leaving for a flight. You can definitely split the 8 oz one in at least 2 servings... eating it all in one serving was a bit too much, since it can be quite heavy. This one is definitely on the sweeter side since it's more of a cake. I came back again close to closing and got a cinnamon bun and pistachio croissant. I did come in with the expectation that they might be a bit stale since I came so late, but they were surprisingly not! The cinnamon bun was delicious and only $3.50. The pistachio croissant tasted as good as the first time. I'll definitely be back again soon - I want to try some of their other pastries and their bread!
Soft and edible sourdough bread. Every bite we took starting from the samplers in the jars next to back wall and actual loafs we brought home truly enjoyable. A good friend of ours recommended this place and we just had to try it out. The lady behind the counter was friendly and helpful. She also had me try the pistachio cookies just to make sure I had a sample before buying and I enjoyed it as well. In addition to the half loafs of bread (also can be sold as whole), I brought a crab focaccia and apricot-raisin oatmeal cookies, we bought half loaves of tomato, jalapeño and country style bread. The store is modern and menu easy to read. Their displays of bread behind the glass counter is joy for a bread lover like myself- like a kid in a toy store. They also have discounted hours from 6-8pm where the breads go on sale 30% off. Can't wait to get back here again when we need to reload on our bread needs but for now I'm going to take another bite after I type the last word on my review.
It was a smaller shop with little to no seating, some seating outside. We were greeted nicely and the worker explained the various breads, breads with toppings (think pizza) and some cookies. We ended up getting a sourdough margarita piece, some sourdough bread sticks, and gluten free cookies. The sourdough slice was soft, airy & light. It was a little greasy but not bad. I was not a fan of the cookie. They were fine just not as flavorful as I would have liked. Overall it was a good place to grab something quick and on the go.
Delicious focaccia, pastries, bread, desserts and coffee. No seating in the bakery so pretty much just a togo option, although Cuesta park is nearby for an impromptu picnic. I tried the hazelnut chocolate swirl ($4, one of the least expensive items), chocolate croissant, pistachio pastry and one of the focaccias as well as a drip coffee. Total was almost $40 so it adds up fast!
Lots of pictures taken. Go ahead and drool. Everything delicious. If I had known they gave out samples of cookies, I would have asked. They had samples of the 5 breads. I tasted the tomato and cheese and was so good that I had to buy. The cream puffs were on sale since they were day old. They were amazing. The cream inside is addicting. The plain hugh croissant was telling me to buy it. Flaky and doughy, and bread inside. That beef samsa (reminds me of Indian samosa but not fried) was so tasty. I was asked if I wanted heated up and I declined. I sat in the car and ate it. It was so crunchy and full of beef filling. Good flavor. I am glad i don't live nearby. I would be broke. Lovely gentleman helping me. I warned him I was not ready. They had salads in the front refrigerator. I'm going to fast from baked goods for a month. I think I can last about a week.
The focaccia here was so good! I tried their mushroom, which had a good balanced mix of cheese and chopped mushrooms, though offering a side of tomato sauce for dipping would make it even better. The pear and blackberry dessert focaccia was a good combo, though personally I found the Nutella and sweetness a bit generous - but those who enjoy sweeter treats will certainly appreciate it. The bread itself had my ideal focaccia texture since I like high hydration bread - moist with a fluffy interior and crispy exterior. While the prices might seem high at first glance, the portions are very filling and worth the cost. One order of the focaccia was more than enough to fill me up, but I couldn't get a entre focaccia without also getting a dessert one. The service was friendly and attentive. I'm already planning to return!

Delicious bread - crusty on the outside and chewy inside. Various kinds of freshly baked bread, focaccia, jar cakes and Italian cookies. There are free samples of their bread. Plenty of parking in the Safeway mall. The family that owns the bakery are super nice. Best bread in town! read more

Oh my god I love this new bakery. My friend and I walked in and were immediately welcomed. Everyone was very smiley and friendly. This family-owned bakery serves jar cakes, which I've never seen anywhere else. The store was very clean and well lit, and I love the granite flooring they have. Everything looks super modern and new. While my friend and I were deciding, the lady working the counter offered us samples! The samples were much appreciated as originally I was going to get the chocolate mousse jar cake, but after trying everything I got the mixed berry. The woman was so sweet and kept offering us more samples . I was pleasantly surprised by the pistachio flavor! I think if I was craving something creamier I would've gotten it. I also got a chocolate chip cookie, which was an interesting version of the standard chocolate chip cookie I've had elsewhere, but totally good still! I'll definitely be back to try their amaretto cookies and their garlic bread! PS the owners say to either eat the cake right away or refrigerate! It tastes best when cold :)) read more

We tried their shiitake mushroom focaccia, asparagus goat cheese focaccia, and the pistachio chocolate twist. Highly recommend the pistachio chocolate twist 10/10! Service was really nice and fast. I wish they heated up the bread but we weren't sure if that was an option or not. There is parking. Definitely recommend for a quick bite when around the area. read more

A new place to check out in Mt View! The GK Pastry has a signature jar cake that is perfect for a picnic lunch. I loved the chocolate mousse (so smooth!) along with the Ruby chocolate. I was told fresh bread comes out around 11. It's great to see new businesses opening up! read more

I love the jalapeño cheese sourdough bread, it is soft and crunchy and fresh. I'm not a huge fan of sourdough in general, but I love the flavors of this bread. Owners are super nice and I love supporting a local, small business. They have such a great selection of pastries, would highly recommend checking it out! read more

Super nice family run. Chef in back continuously making magic so things come out fresh all day. Kids (twins?) split their time manning the front and building out new store downtown Los Altos. Can't wait for that!
