We took a chance and custom ordered a banana cream pie. It did not disappoint! Crisp, flaky crust. Lots of bananas in good custard. Paid online, and just walked in to pick it up. It's a pain to confirm orders by phone, but it's worth it. Next up, chocolate cream pie! See ya soon, Mazzetti's! read more

Two words- DERBY CAKE. Specifically one layer of chocolate cake and one layer of vanilla cake- literally the best of both worlds!! The strawberries and bananas are always sweet, our go-to for any function/party/event/celebration! read more

Honestly took forever just to place my order, to which I found they didn't have what I wanted! Contrarily to yelp and google they don't have donuts. I did come back at a later date with my mom to grab some cupcakes as a birthday celebration. I haven't tried their pies or cakes but having tried the cupcakes I'm not sure I want to. It was dry and the frosting tasted like a weird 2015 vegan experiment. I don't understand the high praise of this place? The pastries and cupcakes are mid, the customers are just not it, and the workers are probably so overwhelmed with how busy it always is past 11am. I truly hope I just came at a bad time of the year or day, this bakery is very cute I just wish it was a better bakery. 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

Mazzetti's Bakery - Cheesecake and Pumpkin Pie - Bakeries Near Me - Pacifica, California

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

Heard a lot about this bakery and was on the way home from Pescadero. Decided to stop by to get a birthday cake and some goodies for the husband (and belated bday for daughter). Was worried they would be closed for July 4th but they were open. Pretty packed when we arrived with a lot of people in line. Line moved quickly and I was able to grab a couple of donuts and a derby cake. Tons of people ordering cakes. The nice staff let me known which cakes were available and the different flavors. Cake was not super sweet so that was amazing! We all loved the cake and treats from this bakery! read more

Their thres letche cake is amazing! Them answering the phone to order is impossible!!!

My children beg for Mazetti donuts every Saturday... Between that, the cupcakes, the cake, but most importantly the service there's nowhere else we like to go for our pastries. It is a household name up and down the peninsula and beyond. With weight lines out the door they consistently prove why they are a Bay Area staple. read more

Mazzetti's pastries were amazing -- fresh, delicious, and absolutely worth the hype. No complaints about the quality of the food at all. However, the experience in the bakery itself was very confusing. There was no clear direction for where the line started or how customers were being helped. Two of the younger workers, young boys ,behind the counter were busy chatting about which pastries they liked instead of assisting customers, while an older woman was offering random tips instead of organizing the 15-20 people who were waiting. My husband and I should have been second in line, but instead she just called out for "anyone" to help, ignoring the order that customers had already tried to create themselves. The lack of structure and attention to the guest experience really took away from what could've been a perfect visit. The pastries are fantastic -- management just needs to take a closer look at how the front-of-house team is managed to match the quality of the product they serve. read more

Our go to place for the derby cake!!! Service is always efficient given how busy it gets. I've placed multiple orders online for family gatherings and never had an issue picking up. The vibe is definitely home style feel mom & pop shop. Love going here for baked goods and cakes! read more

Good cakes, pies and bran muffins. Very consistent and good service. Most of the time they have a line out the doors, worth the wait

Hearing how good this place is from others sounds very promising but after today's experience will make me warn others please do not come here. I was in line and a blonde girl looked at me and I had thought she took my order but she didn't even write it down. I was in line right behind my partner while she was waiting for her cake when my spot was getting ignored. After waiting like 20 minutes and seeing people walking in and getting their orders completed and paid for I thought something was wrong. She even had said it out loud to help him (me). Finally when we said it out loud the third time. They told us "oh come back later" after that response I gave up on waiting and just flat out walked out! Note to manager: HIRE PROFESSIONAL SERVERS! THESE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS ARE GOING TO RUIN YOUR BUSINESS!! I will not return to this place as I am disgusted on how I was treated. I felt like I was racially profiled, felt we were fat shamed and all of the customers were there way after me got their orders completed except for one person who ordered a cake two days ago. I really hope this review goes out and gets heard by other future customers. We weren't even offered a bag for the cake my partner had pre ordered. Good thing she brought one but that was from word of mouth from other customers. In closing, save yourself a trip and get a cheaper cake from Safeway and be treated better. Brief edit: someone by the name of Michael responds to me after my review like who are you even to respond to my post read more

You can't go wrong with Mazzetti's Bakery. The cakes and everything they have are very scrumptious, always fresh every day. The price is very, very reasonable, and the staff are very friendly. I definitely recommend Mazzetti's Bakery. To me, Mazzetti's is a 10 out of 10. You must come and try for yourself. read more

Hands down the best bakery in the Bay Area!! Every weekend my kids ask for doughnuts from Mazzetti's. It's a family favorite we've been going to for years and they are consistently delicious!! Their doughnuts- especially chocolate glazed and chocolate old fashioned, their chocolate croissants, bran muffins and cake doughnuts are some of our favorites. We also get a derby cake for every special occasion!! Their cupcakes are also amazing! Their customer service to top tier and we love the family friendly feel we get every time we stop by. I couldn't recommend Mazzetti's more for any special event or just a special treat during the week! read more

Cannoli ($4), Eclair ($4), Cream Puff ($4), and Cinnamon Roll ($1.95) I came here for the first time with my boyfriend! Super cute & small shop on the corner. They have lots of different flavors of cookie, cakes, and other yummy desserts. Service is great and the person working at the cashier was nice & helpful. Everything except for the cinnamon roll all tasted the same to be honest, it is probably the whip cream filing making it feel that way. It is like different versions of a similar taste in our opinion. Nonetheless, I definitely recommend this place for a yummy sweet! read more

The good: We absolutely love Mazzetti's. We've ordered cakes from them for many years, and have never been disappointed. The bad (this particular time): we ordered 6 dozen cupcakes and 2 smash cakes for pickup. When we arrived we were told there were only 3 dozen and the two cakes. The person helping quickly showed a receipt - never handed to me EVEN AFTER I ASKED FOR A COPY, and proceeded to read and "verify" on a pink slip that was all I ordered. I panicked and rather than pushing or asking to speak to someone else, I agreed to their suggestion of buying 3 more dozen from the display case. I was disappointed because the missing cupcakes were a "special" order of funfetti - and unfortunately the replacements would be plain vanilla. Luckily , I managed to pull up my credit card charge and was able to compare the pricing, confirming that my order was for 6 dozen. When I presented this to the employee they responded with "yea, I guess we can just give these to you". I didn't have it in me to fight or argue, but they weren't "giving" me anything - I PAID FOR 6 dozen! Later on that evening, I received a phone call from the bakery asking if I was planning to pick up my cupcakes. WHAT?!? I explained the situation to the person on the phone and they told me the cupcakes were "in the back of the fridge" and likely "an honest mistake". I get it, and I would say I was more than understanding - and was even ready to pay for what I thought was my mistake. I wish I had pushed further or asked to speak with someone else, which might have encouraged a more detailed search and me receiving my actual order. The person on the phone was nice and even offered to send communication to get me a "possible compensation" - which I declined. I didn't want compensation, after all I paid for 6 dozen and that's what I left with. I was just super disappointed that it wasn't what I actually ordered and expected. Flavor was there as always, guests liked them. Only thing was the two smash cakes were visibly different, size and decorations - when the only difference should have been the flavor, leading me to believe that one was made to order while the other one wasn't. 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

Was in line at Mazzetti's for over 25 min. At one point you could see staff at the back standing around leaving the line out the door waiting for 10 or more with not one Mazzetti employee coming up front to assist. Zero customer service. I live in Pacifica and come to Mazzetti's often. So disappointed. read more

They are busy for a reason. Who doesn't love a classic community bakery with all the traditional options. The type of place a Gilmore Girls girly would grab her coffee. I have never driven by in the morning and not see people coming and going. Love to see a solid community staple at the corner of the busy intersection. read more

We stopped by and couldn't resist everything! We ended up getting this cake for $10!!! And we ate half of it within 3 minutes between 3 of us. Truly amazing homey vibe in here. We love the food and can't wait to come back for more sweets ! My mom said she needs me to have my wedding cake here so we can test them all read more

Their derby cake is divine, and not too pricey at that! The cupcakes are very good as well, especially the chocolate and red velvet.

One of my favorite bakeries in Pacifica. I buy all my families birthday cakes and gifts there. The muffins and donuts are also amazing! However there is some feedback I would like to give. The online pickup line, although they say there is one it really doesn't exist. No one acknowledges you in that line. I've tried it many times before but I usually don't even bother and just stand in the main line to be assisted. However this past weekend the line was long and I had my baby with me, and I really just wanted to go in and out really quick. Stood in that line and No acknowledgement AT ALL from any of the workers even though I made it a point to make eye contact with them to see if they would help after finishing with the previous customer. After a few mins I just stood in front of the cashier. Even then no acknowledgement, like "can I help you?" , "are you being assisted?"until I finally had to jump in and interrupted and asked to pick up my order. Even then the lady nudged someone else, and she was like " is someone helping you?" I'm like obviously not... and she reluctantly helped me get my order, which took like a min to get and I was out of there. Mind you I was holding my baby the whole time. Crazy. But yea don't bother with the pick up line, they don't care about that. Which they really should to get people in and out. read more

I love mazzetti's but this is just beyond unjustified ,I personally when to the store to order this and even confirm 8/1 before picking up the cake was made as order and a employee confirmed and to our surprise when the bride cut the cake it was not what was order. second order in less than a month that we get Wrong I sent a email back 7/19 regarding the 1st order and as of now haven't heard anything .I called this morning to inform about the wrong order from 8/1/25 and I was told the only thing they can recommend me to do is to keep emailing until somebody from the bakery answers which I found that extremely unprofessional, and I can't believe that there's nobody on site to be able to take complaints read more

i don't often eat sweets. I am gluten intolerant. Today I had a sweet tooth for a bakery fresh Macaroon with no preservatives sold at grocery store cookies. When I saw they did have macaroons I was so delighted. UNFORTUNATELY !!! I won't be going back. the best discription I have fot the macaroon. is it was very cold so had been refrigerated a while, but it tasted like they set the macaroon in the rain and then served it. Absolutely the worst backers good I've ever bought! I was not fresh at all!!!!! read more

Derby Dancing Established in 1974, Mazzetti's has been P-Town's preeminent bakery for nearly 50 years now and is probably one of the Bay Area's best kept secrets. Growing up in the South Bay, Peters' was our legendary bakery with their Burnt Almond Cake, but as a proud SJ Native I am willing to put Mazzetti's Derby Cake in that pantheon of must-have items while visiting The Bay. The Good: *Excellent customer service *Ridiculously inexpensive @$33 for an 8" round cake, I've seen other bakeries charge nearly double for a good but inferior cake. *In case you haven't figured it out by now, the Derby Cake is the must-have item here. They make chocolate and white (i.e., vanilla) flavor--we favored the chocolate but either would receive no complaints from yours truly. The Meh: *They have a mixed Derby Cake, but it's only available on a pre-order basis. *Parking can be an issue, but there's plenty of 30-minute parking in the area. *Occasionally there's a line, but the ladies get you in and out lickety-split. The Ugly: *I wish they were closer to me, but I'm kinda glad they're not... #oinkoink TLDR: Get the Derby. You'll thank me later. read more

We love this bakery for one main reason: the derby cake. It's absolutely delicious and a huge hit at every party--we keep coming back for it. That said, the experience with preordering has been frustrating and inconsistent. Out of three times we've preordered, two had major issues: * Once, the toy topper we paid for was missing, and we only found out when we picked up the cake. If someone had told us ahead of time, it would've been disappointing but manageable. Instead, we were left scrambling just hours before a child's birthday party. I ended up driving to almost every Safeway on the Peninsula trying to find a similar toy to replace it--definitely not how you want to spend the day of a celebration. * Another time, we ordered a half-sheet cake and received a quarter-sheet instead. Not sure how that mistake happened, but again, no real explanation or apology was offered, and we were left to just deal with it. Customer service during these situations has felt pretty indifferent--no offer of real reimbursement or even much acknowledgment that something went wrong. Would I still order the derby cake again? 100% yes. It's that good. But if you're planning for a special event, give yourself a buffer, and maybe even consider a backup plan--just in case. read more

Best bakery in the bay area. We've had Mazettis catered for both our baby showers and they were a hit every time. One was a strawberry cake and one was a guava/mango.

If you're ever passing through town, pull over and grab a few! read more

Looking for a cake to order? Mazzetti's got you covered! I highly recommend ordering their black and white derby cake. You can do this online through their order form which was very straight forward. Why should you order this cake? It's so tasty! What I personally love about it is it's not too sweet. The frosting itself isn't too sweet either and the fruit makes the cake pretty refreshing. I also like their focaccia that you can order online as well (but only available on the weekends). It's a competitive price with a wonderful portion size. There are a lot of baked goods at their bakery (donuts, cupcakes, cannolis, pies, breads and much more!) read more

Great sweet treats and good service. I work at a nearish by restaurant and every time someone brings in a Mazzetti's cake my mouth waters and I secretly hope they offer me a slice lol. Go to for an everyday goodie to a special occasion. There are tables and chairs but take-away is my preference with lots of beach access nearby to enjoy my treat with an ocean view. read more
