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

Truly wonderful old school bakery. Not many family-owned bakeries exist like this anymore (especially ones that stay so busy and produce such a great product). Pastries were delicious. Coffee is 60 cents. Truly incredible. read more

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

The best local bakery. Great muffins, donuts, cookies. Custom cakes. Coffee & a place to sit.

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

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

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

Mazzetti's Bakery - Our naked cake! - Bakeries Near Me - Pacifica, California

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

I ordered a 1/4-sheet, 2-layer Mango Tres Leche cake (25-30 servings) just five days before my event, and Mazzetti's Bakery came through beautifully! The flavor was amazing -- sweet but not too sweet -- with a fresh mango filling that paired perfectly with the creamy Tres Leche base. The texture was rich, moist, and smooth, and my guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious and unique it was! The design matched my reference photo closely, and once I added my topper (from Etsy's Custom Cake Charms by CoopersCustoms17), it looked even better in person. Most bakeries I called needed 1-2 weeks' notice for custom cakes, but Mazzetti's accepted my order with less than five days' notice -- and at just $60 for a custom 9"x13" two-layer cake, it was an incredible deal. There was a small piping mix-up ("Joann" instead of "Johann"), but the cake still looked and tasted fantastic. Friendly staff, quick pickup, and delicious results. I'd definitely order from Mazzetti's Bakery again! read more

I have been going to Mazzettis for 45 years. I always loved their chocolate old fashioneds, buttermilk balls and the bran muffins are amazing! unfortunately I was diagnosed with celiac disease and can't have gluten- So I'm sad that I can't go here anymore. A friend went and brought me a chocolate dipped macaroon- and they packed it in it's own box to avoid cross contamination. It was delicious! read more

Mazzetti's Bakery - chocolate dipped macaroon! (pay no attention to the popchips) - Bakeries Near Me - Pacifica, California

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

loooong overdue review! Mazzetti is my happy place. everything they have is really good. from the derby cake, cupcakes, bran muffin- it's all soo good. there are times when the line is out the door but that should tell you something. and the staff- all very nice folks! and the fact that they make donations to local schools is an added bonus in my book! read more

I grew up in Pacifica and Mazzetti's was a staple in our home. Focaccia, Dutch Apple pies and the array of donuts were epic! Italian bakery just around the corner from our home. It had been years since I've been back to my home town. I was in the bay for an event and wanted to bring a few items to treat some friends. Thursday 7/9/2026 I made an order on line and received the email via email as per the new protocol these days, order ahead. I called back to see if I could change my pick up time from Saturday 7/11/2026 8:30 am to 8:00 am. I did not get anyone on the phone after (2) attempts , I figured I would have to stay with the original requested time and deal with being a little later to my pre-planned time agreement for the event in SF. Friday 7/10/2026 I was shocked to receive a phone call from Mazzetti's number. The lady called to verify my order, as I was looking at my digital receipt, to confirm my order as listed: Assorted Dozen (Cake/Old Fashion/Raised) Apple Pie (2) total, Dutch Apple Pie (1) Jalapeño Focaccia and a regular Focaccia. I confirmed my order and requested a 8:00 am pick up time, she said yes, just not before 7:00 am. They will be ready @ 8:00 am. I was thankful for her confirming this and thanked her. Saturday 7/11/2026 7:56 cam I arrived at the corner ifOcean Blvd. And Manor Drive. Excited to run inside and see the fresh backed goods! WOW like being in a Time Machine seeing all of the fresh goodies!. I was treated after a short time in line, told my Dutch pie was not ready and would be another 35 minutes and to come back. Bummer, back to 8:30 am as originally planned/requested. Ok deal with it. After a short walk around the old hood, I walked back in and was treated by the same young man still wearing his "hospital" mask as he informed me it would be another hour plus if I wanted my (2) day pre-ordered and called back confirmed, Dutch Apple Pie. I was upset as this particular pie is my husband's favorite. I was told to pick another pie if I didn't want to wait. Wow, top notch customer service, planning, and shaming to a pre-paid customer that lived in this city longer than the young man assisting me. The locals stated the manager wasn't here during the weekend, only week. Not Mitch I could do but grab a berry pie and leave. The Apple pie was ok but not the Dutch and was a miss for my husband who really wanted the pie I order and more than likely the manager that confirmed my order. The (1) star hurts my feelings to give, but the overall end result of what I ordered and was force to settle on was the reason. It may be another 2-3 years before I even decide to go back but would at least expect the manager to call me to make this (1) sta rating change. read more

Been going to this bakery for a few years now and we're starting to notice some changes. Customer service doesn't seem to be what it used to be. It took the lady forever to put together a dozen cupcakes and 8 cannolis. She was more concerned about chatting w her buddy next to her and complaining. And while their derby cakes, donuts, bread are pretty top notch.. I'm not sure what's up with their cupcakes. Second time buying and they always taste stale. They're not soft or moist and the icing is always hard. Think we will pass next time and just go to safeway. read more

When we lived in Daly City, we would stop by here more often, it's about a 45 minute drive from home now, but we will still swing by for special occasions, especially to pickup a Derby Cake for a birthday celebration. All of us just love the combination of white and chocolate cake, fresh strawberries and banana, covered in fresh whipped cream, not too sweet, just right. Good folks here, probably better for our waistlines that they aren't closer to home! read more

Food (5/5 stars): Mazzetti's Bakery is a Pacifica staple that serves a variety of delicious desserts and pastries. My favorite is their Derby Cake, which is a chocolate and vanilla cake with whipped cream frosting, bananas, and strawberries. I also love their focaccia bread. This time, we went with an assortment of donuts, with my favorites being the maple and chocolate raised donuts. Experience (5/5 stars): * Price: very reasonable * Wait Time: minimal on an early Saturday morning, but the line can get long * Service: good * Parking: street parking can be tricky. They don't have a parking lot * Ambiance: it's a classic family-owned bakery read more

Good spot to get a birthday cake! Everyone was asking me where I ordered it. I got the ultimate Asian compliment: "Not to sweet." :) I ordered 24 hours in advance online. The cake was ready on time, but there was a huge line to pick up (there is no separate line for online pickup). We got a 10x14 Fresh Custard Cake. It says serves 35-40 but probably could easily have served 50 people - it was a very TALL cake. Total cost was $93.54 including tax/tip. read more

My mom got me a birthday cake from here this year, and I really enjoyed it. It had this really charming homemade look and taste to it, very old school and cute. The cake was chocolate, very moist and soft, layered with fresh fruits of your choice - she chose banana for one, and strawberry for another! The frosting was great too, not too sweet. This was a delicious cake, hit the spot. There was something just so satisfying about it! If in the area, would definitely check out this place again for another cake for a celebration! read more

We ordered our wedding cake from here and we have ordered Derby cakes for every birthday celebration we've had. Love it!

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

First and the last time I'm coming here. The guy with the beard working didn't acknowledge me and skipped me to help someone that came right after me. Then when he saw me he skipped me again trying to help someone that's already being helped so when he saw everyone was being helped he waited to help me like he didn't even try to help. When he helped me he was so rude never again coming here. read more

My family has been raving about this place since we stopped in during our vacation to San Francisco. They loved the donut variety and believe me they ordered just about every single one. I thoroughly enjoyed the blueberry muffin with a cup of tea. We sat inside and ate while the morning rush passed through. This bakery has so much to offer and staff are overjoyed to help you. They have several large tables and a coffee/tea station if you'd like to purchase a cup of coffee. read more

I ordered a a graduation cake from this bakery but was given something different. I called to express my disappointment and was told to email the owners and expect a few days before they respond. Emailed them 7/7 and to date, no response from anyone. I called and spoke to a rude employee named John? Who offered no solution to the issue. I was told to email (which mind you, I have not gotten a response from my first email) the manager Matthew. If this is how you treat and take care of your PAYING customers, they will take their business somewhere else where they will be treated with respect. read more

3.5*** My favorite here is their popular derby cake. It is pretty much vanilla or chocolate cake (or both if you pre-order ahead) with fresh strawberries and bananas inside. I used to love Mazzetti's Bakery but over the years, it has gone down in service and in quality. Last year, I pre-ordered and paid for my son's birthday cupcakes, a Derby cake, and the small personal size cake for his 1st birthday. I picked out specific colors to match his animal theme party. When my siblings went to pick up my order, the workers could not find it. I texted my siblings the receipt. Then the workers realized they messed up because they missed it, so they had to rush the order and gave me whatever was available. I still ended up getting the cupcakes, derby cake, and personal size cake, but it delayed the start of our party because those were part of our dessert table and decorations. As soon as the desserts arrived, I added the animal decors. This year, for my son's second birthday, I ordered a dozen cupcakes from Mazzetti's Bakery again! It was because it was close to home and still affordable (unlike some places that charges $5-7 per cupcake) with parking. If it was not due to convenience for parking, I would order from Noe Valley Bakery because their cupcakes tasted much better. This time, I got to try Mazzetti's Bakery cupcakes. I tried the red velvet and chocolate. WOW, they were so sweet! I threw half the red velvet one away because it tasted just like sugar. The chocolate one was not too strong in flavor so it was kind of disappointing. Next time, I would have to pre-order cupcakes from Noe Valley or even get it at Luckys since they actually tasted better than here and not overly sweet. The only thing I would get here from now on would be the derby cake. Note: Get the derby cake! I tried their focaccia bread in the past and it was quite plain in taste. read more

I had their delicious Derby Cake at a birthday party that I knew I was going to order this cake for a family function of 100 people. Even in though it was out of my way, I went to Mazzetti's to place my sheet cake order and explain design specifications. I was in Sweet Tooth heaven to see all the offerings Mazzetti's had from cookies, to donuts, cakes, cannolis, coffee... I was like a kid in a candy store wanted to try everything. This is the kind of bakery you would want to make sure you don't miss anything displayed in their cabinets. There are tables to dine in and hangout. Conveniently located at the corner of Oceana Blvd and Manor Drive, it's a local favorite. The few times I have been there, I have seen lines out the door, yet they provide fast service with several staff waiting on customers one after the other. If only Mazzetti's was near me, I would frequent this place often, but probably a good thing or my sugar intake would be to the roof! LOL Highly recommend to stop by Mazzetti's if ever in Pacifica to satisfy that sugar craving. It's family owned too. To try their famous Derby Cake, you'll have to order a 8 inch round cake as they do not sell it by the slice. read more

Pre-ordered a cake for Mother's Day and received the incorrect flavor. Have reached out to the bakery and have not heard back as of today.

Got a derby cake to celebrate a birthday. I ordered online and it was a simple process. In my special requests, I've asked for pumpkins instead of balloons. After I paid online, the bakery called to inform me that it's an extra $5 charge that's due when picking up the cake. The cake is one of the lighter American cakes I've eaten. Reminds me Asian fruit cake which is nice! It's layered with generous amounts of strawberry and banana. The cake doesn't last that long and should be eaten within 2-3 days. read more

I saw all the derby cakes and knew for next celebration had to pick one up. Ordering was easy in person. Choose the size, flavor and writing if needed. The 8" was more than enough for a birthday celebration for 6. The cake is massive and heavy. I liked that it was not overly sweet and the fruit inside was a great touch. Not a whole lot of seating but a lot of different goodies to try. The service is nice and prices are very reasonable. Street parking Cash/card read more

Mazzetti's Bakery - 8" Chocolate Derby Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Pacifica, California

Mazzetti's is well worth the drive from the peninsula. The cakes are HUGE and like half the price of other places in the area AND taste great. They're obviously known for their Derby cake, but other things there are delicious as well. For example: a WHOLE blueberry coffee cake is $10. Go to any coffee shop and that's at least $5-6 a SLICE. And everyone that I always end up giving some to has said its so good. I also really enjoy their black and white cookies, tho i wish the "white" was a bit more like the chocolate frosting and not so...lacquered? i dont know what the right bakery term is. Service can be hit or miss - but generally they are nice and quick. read more

Line out the door on Saturday, but it moved relatively quickly. We got a slice of raspberry cake, small blueberry muffin, blueberry cheesecake, and a maple old-fashioned donut. Everything came out to about $13 after tax, which I thought was reasonable. Cheesecake was the highlight! Muffin was soft, tender, and tasted homemade. Maple donut was good but tasted a bit of old oil. I would skip the cake slice. Service was friendly. I will come back to get a derby cake sometime! read more

The Best cakes! So moist and delicious!! Not too sweet just right!!! Yuuuuummmmyyyyyy

My family and I have ordered Mazzetti's Derby cake for years now. The quality/taste never misses, and we still can't get enough of this cake! Other than cakes, they also have a numerous pastries, always fresh, and reasonably priced. If you're looking for a cake for an event, they accept online orders in varying sizes and flavors of cake. I ordered the Derby cake recently, I placed the order online and all went smoothly once picked up. This bakery hasn't changed much since we started coming about 10 years ago but I honestly think the ambiance makes it a safe haven for all the locals! read more

The Derby cake is excellent but the pastries aren't to my taste and have what seems like 2x the amount of sugar that's needed. That includes the donuts and muffins. The bran muffin is inedible because of the sweetness. Taste is personal and that's just my opinion. read more
