I had been hearing about Mazzetti Bakery for sometime now and wanted to try them. I needed a cake for my husbands birthday dinner and decided to order from Mazzetti's. I tried to order online but I was confused on custom orders so I just called. I called the bakery and they helped me immediately. They took my order and said it wasn't a problem. Strawberry delight (fresh strawberries with whip cream frosting inside and outside) with a white/vanilla cake. Everyone loved the cake as it was so good. We also got cookies and a small bunt cake We will definitely order a cake again as we were so pleased. read more

My review is only for their banana, strawberry chocolate cake. This cake is deliciously moist and you would think that banana doesn't work for cake but here they do it very well. I highly recommend making the drive out there and ordering this cake for your next party. read more

A very popular local favorite. There is a constant line out the door where folks are waiting eagerly to get their hands on Mazzetti's sugary delights. People are buying these pastries up in boxes! We got 6 items and it was only $11. Their pastry is freshly made with great exterior flavor while soft and fluffy inners. Portion is big and price is good. They also do kids and custom cakes. PlEnty of breakfast and dessert options. The shop is located at the corner of a busy intersection. The surrounding has a litany of small local businesses and garden variety franchise stores. read more

Mazzetti's is my favorite place to go for birthday cakes. Which one? The Derby cake! We usually preorder the cake so I can have 1/2 vanilla 1/2 chocolate... but since we did not plan ahead - we picked up a chocolate Derby cake and it is just so good! The cake is moist, not overly sweet, and has generous strawberries and bananas in it. They can customize the cake with your photo but make sure you pre order a day or so in advance. Tough to get through their phone lines but they do call you back... OR, pre order on their website. read more

The bakery items are great. The issue is that we were overcharged and my husband got mad because it was taking a while to get refunded for items we didn't order. The workers were in the back talking to the manager. I wanted them to credit my credit card but they didnt know how to process the refund and went to the back to talk to the manager again. Eventually we were given cash back. read more

My family really likes the Derby cake. I really like the bran muffins. Both are very moist and delicious.

Came here for the derby cake! We preordered online as I had once come in around 2pm on a Sunday afternoon to find out they sold out of all their derby cake. Didn't want to make the same mistake twice and ordered it online for pick up. Easy to use on their website and pick up was a breeze! I love how inexpensive the cake is and how delicious it was! Not too sweet but fruit was sweet enough and tasted delicious. I would make the drive to Pacifica again just to get this cake. Thank you! read more

We decided to pick up some pies before Thanksgiving, opting for the chess pie and banana cream pie from Mazzetti's. Though we had to wait about an hour for our order, the desserts were absolutely worth the wait. The chess pie was perfectly rich and buttery with a subtle sweetness (not too sweet which is always my concern). The banana cream pie was another standout--its creamy, decadent filling paired wonderfully with fresh banana slices, and the crust was light and flaky. While the wait time was a bit long, the pies were a hit at our Thanksgiving table. read more

One of the best bakeries, especially for birthday cakes. I highly recommend their Derby cake, it's chocolate and white cake layers with strawberry and banana in between and frosted with whipped cream. So delicious and always a hit at any get together or party. They have other yummy pastries that are super delicious. I also really like their sticky bran muffins, like no other and you will definitely want to come and order some more. If you are in Pacifica and want to try some really good pastries than make it a point to stop by here. Even if you aren't in the area, it's worth a drive. Trust me you won't be disappointed read more

We drive from Concord because this bakery is so good! From your focaccia to the derby cake, cupcakes (my husband loves your red velvet) and cookies! Yesterday I tried the apricot popover... so good!

Thank you for bringing joy to our tastebuds read more

I've known about Mazzetti's for quite a while, as I went to college with one of the Mazzetti daughters. Normally, I wouldn't buy my own birthday cake for my birthday, but given that my work is not too far away and that I remembered Mazzetti's, I decided to make the trek here. Facts: * Parking is somewhat sparse. Luckily, Mazzetti's is right down the street from a nearby residential area where you can park at the curb and walk over (which is what I did). * They've got cakes, pastries and lots of other baked goods. Their signature cake is the Derby cake. * Prices, IMO, are quite reasonable. For the 8" Derby cake, I paid approx. $32. I wasn't sure if they'd have the Derby cake available on the day I went, so I called earlier in the morning, initially planning to ask them to hold one for me, but the lady who answered said that it wouldn't be necessary as they have up to 50 available each day, and that I should be able to get one when I come. When I arrived, the lady who took my order was able to get my cake decorated with "Happy Birthday Michael" and in my favorite color too (orange) and get me in and out all within about 10 minutes. As for the cake itself, it was one the best cakes I've ever had. We all enjoyed it. It's filled with cream, strawberries and bananas and topped with a single strawberry. If you're nearby, you have to make it a point to come visit this Pacifica landmark and get something to eat. And if you need a cake for a special occasion, like a birthday, you HAVE to go with their Derby cake. You're gonna like the way it tastes. I guarantee it. 5 stars all the way read more

Cake 5/5 = Derby cake has always been a family favorite since my aunt who lives in Pacifica always orders it for her daughters bday every year - never failed. Love the cake! Service 1/5 = I had my sister-in-law pick up the cake for me, first encounter was already off - she said hi and politely asked if the order was ready since she got there at 2:40pm and pick up was 2:30pm. Unfortunately, the worker answered her with a tone and attitude - no hi/hello back from her. At first, she said they couldn't find the order and after checking the back she said she found it - my SIL noticed in the back that the cake was not ready at all and it seemed like they boxed it really quick and brought it out. I ordered the larger cake so it needed 2 person to carry it out. My SIL offered to them that she can call up her fiance from the outside so they dont need to bring it but the worker stated along the lines of "we'll bring to your car, you owe us $15 tip" Mind you - they almost dropped the cake. The design was messed up - I also availed for the balloons and confettis design but was not on the cake. Very disappointed since this place has been a family favorite ! Cake was 10/10 as always! Just the service that day could've been better. read more

The cake was amazing !!! I ordered the derby cake for my boyfriend's birthday. We tried it at another birthday party and just fell in love with it. The quality and taste is simply incredible. I had special ordered it and they had a hard time for some reason finding it and the worker came out 3 different times to ask more questions even though I had the receipt and had shown it repeatedly, but all is well that ends yumminess! I'll definitely be back! read more

We had a great chocolate chip cookies and cheesecake. The employees are young people that you can literally see they're happy to work there.

I have not visited this store in person, but a colleague brought a Derby Cake from Mazetti's to a work party, and damn, that was some of the tastiest cake I've had - not too sweet, moist cake, fresh whipped cream, fresh fruit... it was really a standout. I look forward to visiting their brick and mortar to try more of their items! read more

My only critique is the utter lack of urgency when the line is out the door. If some staff would just speed up to meet the need for their amazing pastries etc, this place would be perfect! Please, pick up the pace! We love you Mazzetti's!! read more

Love their strawberry-banana chocolate cake. You can order in advance and pick it up at the store. Big size but very Good price!!

I drove out 80 miles from the east bay to pick up my CNY derby cake. As you hit the coast, that seabreeze and ocean air just lifts you up. The bakery is right off the highway for easy on and off. I feel like the bakery is used to high volume orders. I pull up and said I'm picking up a cake. Overwhelmed by the bakery selections, I choose a dozen cupcakes, a 49er mini cake, and a focaccia. I felt rushed being the only person in the bakery but should have took my time. After all, I was bringing back goodies to my neighborhood but the person behind the counter wasn't friendly or helpful. However the cupcakes and 49er cake were delicious. The neighbor loved the focaccia bread and the derby cake filled with banana and strawberry did not disappoint. The cupcakes and cake were buttercream while the derby deliciousness was whipped. Everything was enjoyable and I would probably come back again for another road trip. Just wish the staff was more friendly and inviting. read more

I ordered a personalized Derby cake to celebrate my 40th birthday after they made a beautiful forest-themed cake for my friend's baby shower. I showed them a Coca Cola themed cake design I found on Pinterest. They took a photo of it, said they couldn't do some stripes I wanted but everything else could be done with an extra charge for the special design and font for a total of $91.70. I was happy to pay for a beautiful cake! When I went to pick up the cake, however, it looked like it was done at the very last minute by someone with no design skills. Maybe a teenager did it. The handwriting was not Coke font, was off-center, and the Coke bottle looks like a blobby baby bottle of some sort? When I asked the manager, he said I didn't pay for special font, I just paid for the red color. When I disagreed and showed him the design we discussed, he said there was no way they would've agreed to do that (even though they did) and offered to give me a discount. There was no accountability or admission of a cake design done badly. I told him I was not ok with their offer but was willing to pick it up the following morning if they would fix it. So they put me in touch with the owner. After speaking to the owner, we went over the issues and he told me what he would suggest to make it more feasible. The 2nd photo is the end product and a gorgeous cake!!! If my design was too challenging, they should've called me as soon as they realized the designer doing it was too unartistic/inexperienced. They also could've called me if they saw any issues with my order. I was shocked they handed me the first cake with the price I paid, and thought it was acceptable for what I paid. How can the first cake possibly be worth $91?? Thank GOD I gave myself an extra day ahead of the party so they were able to fix it in time. I recommend Mazetti's improve their communication skills. If you think a design not worth your time or you don't think you can do the design that the customer pays you for, then don't take their money or call them and tell them. read more

I love the convenience of ordering online, setting your own pick up time and walking in to pick it up at a specific pick up line. So quick and efficient. They always deliver on customer service, taste, looks and freshness. They always have cute designs for every holiday with lots of options. Everybody knows about Mazzettis!! It's so good and I highly recommend it for any occasion. read more

Decent donuts but terrible customer service. Went around 5pm on Friday the 13th. Few people ahead of me , very slow, lots of Employees and perhaps manager walking around hiding from helping. Young employees, cleaning up and organizing instead of helping customers. Line behind me getting longer and construction guy comes in walks up to counter and gets passed a donut by other employee but ignores line and doesn't pay. Wtf why can't I just ask for a donut too. Finally someone asks if anyone helping the line. Young guys says ok I will. 5 minutes already passed by and I'm losing my cool. My kids waiting in the car prob wondering wtf I'm at. Finally get home donuts not worth the wait and leave a bad taste from long wait and being overcharged. Maybe manager can tell employees to drop what they're doing if it's not urgent cause you have customers. Well now you have one less customer. Speed of Service is essential in any business and you don't get it here! read more

I had someone recommend the derby cake for my son's first birthday. Being unfamiliar with the bakery, I called to ask if there was a way to see if they could do a design I had found online. They quickly asked the owner and said I could email the owner directly and provided the email. I sent over a photo and what I wanted to order - she was quick to confirm they could do it, but I would need to order the toppers. I don't live super close and doing any longer trips with my 11 month old son is difficult. We were planning to have my dad pick up the cake. I asked if we could have the Amazon ordered toppers shipped to her directly and have them put it on since I wasn't contingent in my ability to decorate it myself. She provided the P.O. Box. We confirmed the other details of the order by email and she sent over an invoice. The cake was perfect! Everyone thought it was super cute and multiple people at the party were delighted that I had ordered a derby cake. My family is from all over the Bay Area and I had no idea the derby cake from Mazzetti's bakery was so well known. I ordered two times the amount of servings we needed for the expected guests. While we did have some left over during the party, all the guests took home the left overs and we had none to take home ourselves. Safe to say, the cake was a hit. I'll be ordering our next birthday cake from them for next year! read more

Very friendly customer service and tasty desserts! Bring cash to avoid the $0.55 surcharge for credit cards. This is a spacious bakery with seating and tables inside to enjoy your baked goods. We ordered a chocolate cupcake ($2.75) and a cannoli ($4). Chocolate Cupcake ($2.75): The chocolate cupcake was decorated with icing, sprinkles, and a plastic Luigi ring. Very moist cupcake with thick icing. We were surprised to find that the cupcake was filled with icing. While delicious, the amount of icing felt unhealthy and even a little overwhelming (for me at least, but not for my partner). Cannoli ($4): Very refreshing with its cool temperature from the cream filling! The cannoli was filled with 2 cherries and a layer of chocolate. While it's relatively pricier than other pastries or desserts (like the cupcake), it was totally worth it! The cannoli's filling reminded me of the filling of a cheese danish (both are made with cream cheese I believe). read more

Mazzettis bakery is a Pacifica institution. It's one of the longest running and most beloved businesses in town. There is a morning crew of retired gentlemen who hang out and drink coffee starting at around seven in the morning, Quentin Kopp, the local politician used to stop in every day for his $ 2 / doughnut and coffee while reading the chronicle. They make a great assortment of standard donuts and muffins along with Italian style pastry, such as cannolis and wonderful finger cookies. The focaccia is a favorite , the latest being a jalapeño version.Their big business is layer cakes for major celebrations, birthdays, weddings, reunions and any special occasion . they are all set up to take care of your cake decoration needs. Be aware they are really into sweet Italian style pastries . Not for blood sugar sensitive people. read more

Delish! read more

I love supporting small, local, family run businesses and Mazzetti's is no exception. They have a loyal local following that has helped kept them in business even during difficult times in 2020. Their cakes and pastries are delicious. Everything they sell is reasonably priced and won't break the pocketbook. Most breakfast pastries are $2 and under. Cake slices are $4 each. Wake up early! This is where "you snooze, you lose" applies. Everyone flocks to the bakery early in the morning to stock up on goodies. It's normal to see long lines out the door. And there may not be much left to choose from if you arrive later in the day. There's street parking on Manor or Oceana. I haven't had any problems. finding a spot. The breakfast pastries are all delicious. I love the raspberry and apple danishes. The apricot one is good, too. The chocolate muffin is filled with cream cheese, which makes this a moist muffin; husband loves this one. The kiddo likes the blueberry muffin. The scones are HUGE. I have yet to meet a cake I didn't like. You can sample them by getting the cake slices before committing to a whole cake. They are known for their Derby Cake. I got to try this for my birthday. It was the half and half Derby Cake, which had layers of chocolate and white cake. You can also choose all chocolate layers or all white layers. The cake is filled with bananas and strawberries. I know this sounds like an odd combination, but it really works! It's a tall cake! It is surprising light and not overly sweet. I try to stop by this bakery when I drive up to Pacifica from the south bay, even though the bakery is a bit off the beaten path. I rate them 5 stars : Delicious baked goods. Friendly service. Easy parking. Reasonable prices. read more

Today's derby cake tastes different! The cream tasted way sweeter than usual. I was disappointed big time. My friend warned me their cake seems different but I didn't believe it.

Mazzetti's Bakery - Chocolate cream cheese muffin - Bakeries Near Me - Pacifica, California

We stopped at this bakery before we had dinner across the street a few weeks ago. There was no line on a Saturday around 4:00 pm but also less selection in the afternoons. Wanted to try their apple fritter but heard they sell out early morning. What we did try was really tasty! The old fashioned donut was really good and had a slight lemon flavor to it. The chocolate macaroon was nice and chewy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The chocolate chip croissant was also really tasty, not what most would traditionally call a croissant. The dough was a bit different from croissant dough but it was crispy and had a lot of chocolate inside. Service was fast and friendly. They take credit card and prices are very reasonable for a bakery! Would definitely go back the next time we're in the area. Hopefully I'll get to try that apple fritter one day! read more
