This place was so yummy! We tried their parfait, cannoli, and a few other desserts. I struggled to stop eating once I started. Everything was light, perfectly sweet, and included a fresh fruit. I would definitely come back and try more desserts Just an fyi the parking was mainly street parking. read more

Mazzetti's Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Pacifica, California

Mazettis Bakery in Pacifica is a charming little gem of a mom and pop shop that is well worth seeking out. It has the kind of warmth and character that only a truly independent, family-run bakery can offer. The star of the show for us is the Derby Cake -- a gorgeous layered chocolate cake filled with whipped cream, fresh bananas, and strawberries woven between each layer. It's indulgent without being overly rich, and the combination of flavours works beautifully together. What makes it even more special is that you can tell every cake is genuinely handmade. Each one has that unmistakably homemade look to it -- slightly unique in its own way, which only adds to the charm. No two are exactly alike, and that's exactly the point. Be warned though -- these cakes are popular for good reason, and they sell out quickly. We've learned to order ahead to avoid disappointment, and we'd strongly recommend doing the same. It's the kind of place that reminds you of the joy of supporting a local business that genuinely takes pride in what they make. A wonderful neighbourhood bakery that deserves all the love it gets. read more

I'm drooling just thinking about their baked goods! Mazzini offers baked goods that are delicious and to die for. The shop has a homey vibe and is quite cozy walking in there. I can tell that they have been a part of the community for so long from the employee's way of greeting customers. Some are well known to the shops and I really appreciate that employees greet you on first name basis. You can bet on this shop to make decadent cakes with buttery goodness of your dreams. Plus, their quarter sheet cake can easily feed party of 25+ people. I usually get their derby cakes for gatherings. The cake slices are HUGE with fresh fruits fillings and customizable icing. Mozzetti's bakery can also put pictures on your cake should the occasion calls for it. Besides cakes, you'll find other Italian baked goods like cannolis. They also sell sliced cakes too! If you're ever in Pacifica, CA, give this spot a try. 10/10 would recommend as a place to indulge yourself read more

Tried their cake at a wedding fair and got their sampler box and both me and my fiance who aren't big cake people absolutely loved the cake. Specifically chocolate with raspberry, chocolate with mocha cream, and vanilla with pineapple are winners. read more

I've tasted pastries and cakes here since 2007 but never set foot in this bakery. My co-workers would order pastries and coffee cakes for employee birthdays and they were so delicious. A friend bought their famous Derby cake and that was something else! My husband would always stop here with his walking buddies for coffee and pastries. He told me yesterday that he would take me here for coffee since I've never been. The night before, I went over the different pastries on Yelp so I came prepared. I wanted the Cinnamon Roll AND the Chocolate Eclair. Imagine my surprise to see how big it was so I settled for just one. Coffee is only 65 cents for seniors with free refills. I was having a hard time finishing that delicious huge cinnamon roll! We also bought apple cake and red velvet cakes for our son and cleaning lady. I am making a habit of coming here once a week for coffee and pastries for our morning treat. A delicious way to start your morning! read more

What a wonderful bakery this is! You know it's popular judging from the line even though it's 50 years old. We got dad a birthday cake and I think it's called a density cake because man it must've weighed about 10 pounds. It was so beautiful when we cut into it, it had all different flavors of cake fresh bananas, fresh strawberries it was absolutely delicious. The service was good. I can't speak to the ambience, but people in line were happy. I highly recommend it. read more

Timing is everything in life. My timing was spot on today at Mazzetti's. Adriana just finished her latest cupcake creation that I had to have. Yup! Just as I expected... the cupcake not only looked pretty, but tasted delicious. It reminded me of a ballerina cupcake. The buttercream topping is mango and strawberry flavors with white sprinkles. Inside the yellow cupcake was strawberry and mango filling. I got home, opened the box and the scent of the buttercream was intoxicating. Gotta make a pot of coffee to enjoy this cupcake treat. It was pure heaven. If I had a little girl, I definitely would order this for her birthday party. Adriana, do not stop and go directly to baking your heart out. My tummy thanks you once again! read more

My family and my husbands family have been getting cakes here for years.. in the last few years they have gotten sloppy with their decorations. The cakes are good but not worth the drive or price if the cakes leave you disappointed... my husband and I get our birthday cakes from here and every time there's something wrong. This year is no different. I just picked up my cake, the color of the words was supposed to be light blue. They gave me dark blue. And the border is completely unattached to the cake!! It's embarrassing having to serve ugly cakes. I've always just let it go bc the cakes are good but I'm done. Every year I give them feedback and it's always "well what do you want us to do" be better! I never ask for a refund just to be more careful. But I'm done. Attached are is of our most recent cakes and today's. read more

Was looking for Sourdough Bread in the area since Rosalind's Bakery sold out. This has been a staple for decades & I remember going here years ago as one of my friends lived nearby. It was the only bakery around. We ended up looking for a large sourdough loaf but they only had baguettes so they said we could order it ahead of time for pickup the next day. The bakers come in at 1am. I ended up getting 2 Macaroons($1.95/ea) & 2 Chocolate covered Macaroons($2.25/ea), a mixed whole Blackberry-Blueberry Pie for $17.95(steal!). They have lots of Valentine's Day chocolates, pastries, cakes & a variety of Focaccia Bread. Such affordable prices too compared to other places which are probably twice as much. The plain Macaroons were so soft & flavorful, not too sweet & the Chocolate dipped Macaroons had a thick dark chocolate coating. Yummy!! There were lots of people & tourists with luggage who were stocking up on goodies. read more

Mazzetti's Bakery is an Italian-American bakery located in Pacifica. It's been about 12 years (they've been around 50!) since I last visited and my palate has definitely changed from old-school baked goods. Just a preference as others enjoyed.. Unfortunately, based on items purchased, I would rate them 3 stars (adding that half star for family): :: Lemon bar - their version has some cloyingly sweet, bright yellow, gel-like substance for the lemon (no natural lemon tang) with streusel on top. Not a fan. :: Apple Coffee Cake - simple cake, with some odd yellow streusel (canned apple glaze) on top and very nutmeg, forward. Something my grandma/grandpa would've enjoyed with their morning coffee...okay sister liked it too! Sadly, wasn't for me. Great price at $10! :: Raisin-cinnamon scone - buttery, melt-in-your-mouth after a 10 sec heat up in the microwave - would get this again :: Maple-glazed old fashioned donut - I prefer the raised donuts (sister got the wrong one *shaking fist*) but it was good. The flavor was actually distinct with crisp edges and soft interior. Their popular items: Derby cake: white cake with strawberries and a chocolate bottom layer with bananas. Unfortunately, they don't sell by the slice so will have to buy a whole cake and share for next time. Focaccia and cannolis seem to be the draw as well. I saw many people grabbing focaccia from the 3 options: cheese, pizza and a pepperoni and buying cannolis by the box: 8 for $36. Overall, great spot for REASONABLY priced cakes, pies, donuts, cupcakes, various cake slices (sans Derby cake), scones, cannolis, focaccia and old-school danishes. Coffee and indoor seating available to enjoy your sweets. Place gets busy in waves...went on a weekend around 215pm and wasn't busy...then a rush of people arrived after. Staff friendly and get the lines moving. Would return to try the Derby Cake, grab some focaccia, and get a cinnamon-raisin scone or donut with some coffee. Street parking only read more

I love their cakes! We preordered a derby cake for pickup the next day because I was told by a friend they don't offer slices. Writing is no charge but any other decorations has an extra charge. My husband picked up the cake and thought they were all very nice! Great service. Cake is so amazing. Very light, fruit is fresh. The icing is amazing. The icing wasn't too sweet. So amazing. I didn't even care that we couldn't buy slices of the cake. It's just my husband and I and the cake was gone in a few days. Even a day or so later and the fruit still tasted great. We'll be back next time we're in Pacifica. I think this will be our go to. read more

Absolutely unforgettable dessert! Mazzetti's Bakery just delivered one of the best desserts we've ever had. The derby cake -- with fresh strawberries, fresh bananas, whipped cream, frosting, and white cake -- was pure perfection. Every bite was light, balanced, and indulgent without being overly sweet. The freshness of the fruit paired with the airy whipped cream and tender cake was unreal. The highest praise came from my son, who is a world traveler and has eaten desserts all over the globe -- he declared this cake instantly took the #1 spot as the best dessert he's ever had. That's saying something. If you're even considering getting the derby cake, do it. This is the kind of dessert people talk about long after the last bite. Mazzetti's has been a staple for us for many years and you should make it yours as well. read more

I recently ordered a 1/4 sheet Derby cake and a dozen Red Velvet cupcakes for a wedding shower I hosted. All were fantastic! The Derby Cake is my favorite of any bakery made cake. It's so moist, and the banana, strawberry and whipped cream center is to die for! They're very helpful, as well. read more

I loved my first time here but the next few times haven't been as good. The fudge cake and the derby cake aren't consistent. Sometimes it's moist. Other times, it's dry and stale. This time, I got the tiramisu and everyone loved it. I can't say the same about the cranberry muffin I got. The cranberry was unpleasantly sour and I normally love sour. I couldn't finish it. read more

We got Mazzetti's for the office specifically to have both cannoli's and donuts. The service were great! I appreciate how they arranged the box and kept it neat. The cannoli's were frozen which was tough because I couldn't wait to eat them! They looked so good! The donuts were solid, they provided a lot of classic flavors. Fluffy and good, no frills. The cannoli's were pretty good, I think this was a good office sweets share. It is really tough to find a great cannoli around here. I think this is a great local business to support! read more

It's chocolate, bananas, strawberries, vanilla, and their home made whipped cream which is so light and not too sweet. The cake is SO good!

Overall, this is still one of my favorite bakeries here in Pacifica. if you want to get good cup of coffee, doughnut in the morning... There's nowhere else I would recommend first trying. While Rosalind has some wonderful products, it's crazy expensive. The prices at Mazetti's have gone up with inflation and their cost rising. I am sure, however, it's still pretty darn good value for things like donuts. The cost of the cannoli to be however it's too high. About five bucks a cannoli, while I get it it's cheaper than some of the spots in North Beach in San Francisco, it's too pricey for my Pacifica budget. I think 395 is much more appropriate. read more

Their pies are excellent, especially their pumpkin pie; also their pizza focaccia is consistently good. The focaccia is light and airy and heats up well in the oven, their pumpkin pie is custardy and has a lovely texture with an excellent crust. However the rest of their baked goods are mediocre at best. But it's a Pacifica staple! So just know you're not being Michelin star pastries here; you're getting a cozy neighborhood, family bakery here. read more

The Mezetti Derby Cake was an absolute hit! It was so delicious, and everyone at the party loved it. One of the best parts is being able to add a picture on the cake, which made it feel extra special and personal. It's my son's favorite cake, and it definitely lived up to the hype. Highly recommend for any celebration! read more

It is summer solstice Day 2025 and I'm back at mazzetti's for some more early morning start-my-day stuff! Mazzetti's Bakery continues to be an excellent local bakery. No need to visit the big name grocery store across the highway, because mazzetti's creations will always be of higher quality, and a better value too! If like me, you are here for a morning start up, you will find tasty donuts and coffee With the quality, and at a price no other chain can match. Easy to find, sometimes hard to park because of the limited parking spaces. Service always be quick as possible with good attitudes. If you're one of those people that love loyalty programs, mazzetti's Bakery partners with Clover to offer a points program that will enable you to get a Mazzetti's Derby cake for free. I've already gathered enough points over time to have redeemed enough points over time for four derby cakes. So that tells you how much I appreciate their products, and their loyalty program too.. As before, regular coffee and donut was delicious. The atmosphere was lively this morning. With two sets of tables filled with people chatting and solving world problems. Hopefully everybody remembered to post their solutions in social media, or use them out in the real world. I recommend Mazzetti's Bakery to anyone near enough to enjoy their products. read more

We loved trying this bakery in Pacifica. There's a line out the door for a reason: their baked goods are delicious and decently priced. Our pepperoni focaccia was huge and $8ish which made for a great snack later on in the day when we went to the beach. The apple strip whip was so fluffy and the actual pasty part so flaky and light. read more

I will never understand the line around the curb or the traffic this establishment causes. People rave about the scones, the muffins, the cake....all of which taste no better than offerings at a continental breakfast at a Hampton Inn. Overly sweet, often stale, and wholly forgettable. I have returned multiple times to try different recommendations and each time I am disappointed. I am all for supporting a long standing family business but wow, just because something has been there for a while does not make it good. read more

I stopped by to try the cannolis because I saw some people recommend this shop. The shop looks quaint and old school, which I found charming. The service was prompt and friendly. It was ~$41 for my box of 9 cannolis. I'm not typically fond of maraschino cherries, but I didn't hate them in the cannolis since they added a nice fruitiness and slight almond flavor when eaten together. The cannoli shells were crisp and flaky. I was pleasantly surprised by the not too sweet filling which was also dotted with mini chocolate chips and lemon zest. I don't think the zest imparted a lot of citrusy flavor but I didn't mind. The amount of filling in each cannoli was inconsistent though, we had some that were underfilled in the middle. Overall, I think any cannoli lover would be pleased with Mazzetti's! It's definitely a solid cannoli. They also have cake, donuts, pies and other baked goods but I only tried the cannolis this time. read more

Based on Yelp reviews, we stopped to bring a box of assorted donuts home for the family. Old-school glazed donuts that these newer donut franchises can only hope to compare to. My favorite donuts will have a slight crunchy exterior and soft yeasty, pillowy, interior. Not a super sweet donut fan. Apple fritters are excellent. Just the perfect fry of crunchy exterior, chunks of apples on top, and yeasty soft interior. Line starts early at 630 am opening. Very efficient service. Will definitely bring home more when I am in the area. read more

And this place is busy! Expect a line bit never a long wait. From fresh breads, croissants and muffins, to Danish ( and a pie that look like a combo of many Danish options donuts and apple pie (where the apples were actually cooked) and so much more..we tried something new and went back for a favorites, FRESH! A fave was the tray of buns we could put in the freezer and grab as needed for sandwiches or with a meal. Loved the blueberry muffins!! Worth the few minutes drive!

Having tried a slice of Mazzetti's cake awhile back, we enjoyed it so much that we wanted to come check it out! There are tons of baked goods when you arrive from cakes, cupcakes, bread, cookies, scones, donuts, muffins, pies etc it can be a bit overwhelming! They also have online ordering which gives you more time to think and order in advance for pick up. We went with a large cherry pie, an apple popover and apricot popover. Pastries and pie are sweet, soft and easy to share. If you're craving your next dessert, come check out Mazzetti's! read more

I don't even think I could count at this point how many amazing cakes we've enjoyed from Mazzettis over the years. Their cakes have become synonymous with celebration in our house. From custom wild ideas I've asked them to do (1st birthday race car smash cakes, race car cakes, pastel cotton candy themed cake) to the simple yet so elegant ones (multiple baptism cakes, work celebration cakes, holidays) everytime I have a party you bet it's Mazzetis desserts on the table. We also LOVE going for the famous bran muffins, focaccias, huge croissants and of course the cannolis. Don't skip out on their grab and go cookie packages either. Always a fresh treat for your morning coffee. Staff is the sweetest. Quality is always consistent. Lastly we've seen their name pop up at a few community events lately. To see how they show up and give back is amazing. Makes me want to continue to support them even more. read more

My husband and I got married in December and ordered several cakes from Mazzetti's - we had a 2-tier round cake that we cut for our photos along with two half-sheets that we served. During the cake selection process, we communicated with Angela from the bakery and ordered several sample boxes. She responded to our questions promptly and provided clear guidance as to what to expect during the process. Our cakes were banana nut with white buttercream, chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream, chocolate cake with raspberry filling, and a white cake with raspberry filling. We ultimately went with four flavors because they were all delicious and we couldn't decide - we also wanted options for our guests. Our guests loved them! We had 120 guests and leftover cake (which we loved eating in the days that followed our event). Delivery was seamless the day-off the event. Mazzetti's also had a more competitive price than other bakeries we visited along the peninsula. read more

Okay, long overdue since I been a customer here since 2014 and I'm going for the Yelp Elite so here. I have to talk about this bakery because it's seriously a gem. The first time I ever tried their Derby Cake was at a Christmas party, and wow... life-changing. I've been a fan ever since! They have muffins (their bran muffin is my fave), donuts, cookies, cupcakes, pies and even these little "emergency cakes" that are perfect when you need a last-minute dessert fix. And they have derby cakes on deck! Oh, and coffee too, which makes it way too easy to stop by in the morning. And let me just say -- their focaccia bread?! So good. Moist, flavorful, and they came out with a jalapeño one that has just the right kick. The price is very reasonable too. I'm surprise they don't charge more! I feel like you go anywhere else in the Bay, it would be double the price for their pastries! That's another reason this is my go to spot! The staff is always super friendly and welcoming -- you can tell it's family-owned because they put so much heart into everything. Honestly, it's one of those bakeries you end up telling all your friends about (clearly, I'm doing that now). See my pictures and you can tell I always come to Mazzatti's for family occasions! read more

Purchased a cake for kids bday. It was all sugar and no taste. Half the cake was fortified icing / sugar and it was impossible to taste anything else. This is not something I would be proud of serving to children or anyone else. It shouldn't be legal to put that much sugar in food. Even if it is and some bakers are doing it, doesn't mean you have to be part of the problem. read more
