Went out on a limb looking for a guava cake in the area. Mom's Homemade Bread hit a home run! The guava cake was a light and moist sponge cake, topped with a perfect guava jam and refreshing whipped topping. Not too sweet! The chocolate haupia pie tasted like Aloha from the first bite with hints of coconut and macadamia nuts through and through! Tina graciously offered to deliver the goodies, too! We will definitely order from MHB again in the near future! read more

We tried the Malasadas trio. It came out hot but we didn't want to eat it before lunch. So by the time we got home and had lunch, it was an hour later. The Malasadas were very hard and the spot without the fillings was very bland. They were also very small for the price! Kinda disappointed. Don't think we will get it again. read more

Ordered from this bakery two days in advance online, to customize items, and everything went smoothly from there. Got the chocolate chip banana bread loaf with added walnuts, and oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips and walnuts (only comes in a 12-pack for preorder). I chose a specific hour-long window for pickup, and it was ready within the specified time frame. The lady was so professional and kind when she came out and handed me my items, the cookies packaged securely and the banana nut bread warm and seemingly freshly made. The perfect texture, and the taste was amazing, so much flavor and delicious melted chocolate, probably the best I ever had! And the oatmeal chocolate walnut cookies were pretty darn good too. I'm definitely a fan of Mom's Homemade Bread. I had never heard of East Bay Eats before. It's similar to Local Kitchens, with a bit of indoor seating (standard tables as well as countertops with bar stools). Now that I know, I may return for other food options when looking for some snacks in the east bay. And again, I'm 100% coming back for more of Mom's baked goods. I'm so glad I discovered this spot, totally worth the drive from the south bay. read more

Mom's Homemade Bread was able to accommodate a last minute request. I was in charge of getting a cake for a friend's birthday, so the day before I was searching for some place new to accommodate this request in the San Lorenzo area. I called Mom's Homemade Bread to see if they would be able to make a cake for the next day, and the owner said she would be able to. Thank goodness! My pick up time was 3pm, and I showed up around 2:45pm. The owner came out and said that she still needed to put the cake together. I was out the door at 3pm. Overall everyone loved the cake since it was something new for us. read more

We tried their banana walnut bread, which I thought was quite decent - I especially liked how moist the bread was, and the banana flavor really came through as well - but at the same time it tasted just like a decent normal banana bread, and it didn't feel mind blowing or extra special. I also think the banana bread could use a little more walnut because I only found one or two specs of chopped walnuts in each slice of the banana bread that I had. I think having more walnuts in the bread would make this bread more wholesome and added a nice texture. With that said, I thought the bread was perfectly sweetened, and it made a good breakfast with a cup of coffee in the morning. read more

Guava Chiffon Cake Needed a cake for my Goddaughter's birthday. Needed something local due to time constraints. Was happy to find this nearby island gem to satisfy our cake needs. The birthday celebrant and guests were all happy with the cake. Thanks, Tina. Nobody noticed the name was edited from Kiana to Kiani. ;) read more

I'm so glad I discovered Tina's hidden gem this year! I am a huge fan of her cakes, from guava chiffon to coffee crunch. I've also tried her other items as well and can attest to the quality of taste of the pastries. So delicious! I love how her pastries and cakes are not too sweet. This is located inside East Bay Eats in downtown Hayward. She aspires to bring Hawaiian taste to the Bay Area. I can attest the guava chiffon cake is AMAZING - moist, not too sweet, fluffy, and so decadent. I can eat this all day! But my favorite would have to be Rich's coffee crunch cake named after her dad. She perfected this recipe until her dad approves it. I can tell you, she certainly has perfected it! It's the perfect blend of crunchy and fluffy/smooth cake. The toffee bits on top are a nice touch, and love the subtle coffee flavors of the cake. I got these two cakes for my birthday and loved it. She is expanding her menu and trying out different flavors. Can't wait to try more of her cakes/pastries! read more

My go to bakery. Everything is delicious. The owners are always kind and easy to talk to. I ordered my son's birthday cake before this location opened and now we DD it regularly. The Chex mix is perfect. Sometime I just want a salty sweet snack. Chocolate haupia pie is my favorite. read more

Mom's Homemade Bread - Guava chiffon and coffee crunch cake - Desserts Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Mom's Homemade Bread was on my radar because David N posted all the goodies offered by this business...mochi, Chocolate haupia pie and of course, a Crunch Cake! Celebrating my sister's and brother-in-laws birthday decided to place an order for all the items above....ordering online was straightforward and simple with a mutual pickup spot from the Castro Valley BART station. Since I'm not a big fan of mochi or chocolate pie (I know, I know it's a texture thing) I can't fairly give a rating but guests really enjoyed these items. The Coffee Crunch Cake was delicious but have to say I have my favorite spots...the cake texture was more bouncy like an Asian-sponge cake with smaller crunch bits...not overly sweet with a nice balance. Reasonably priced, friendly customer service with a taste of Hawaii close to home. Support this small, local business, Mom's Homemade Bread for your next event read more

I tried Mom's Homemade Bread and went with the banana espresso bread. It was delicious--moist, full of flavor, and a great size. The Kona coffee glaze really made it stand out, adding the perfect finishing touch. Tina was super nice, friendly, and took the time to answer my questions. Overall, great experience and definitely something I'd come back for. read more

I ordered a guava chiffon cake from Moms homemade bread a while back. I did enjoy the cake and it was tasty. The sponge part was light and fluffy and the guava jelly topping over the top of the cake was sweet and tart and delicious. The owner of the business is very kinda and responds quickly to orders and requests. The wok out of their home so there's no store front. You just pick up at a residential area and they will give the location for pick up. The reason i gave four instead of five stars was that I did feel the cake was a bit sweeter than my liking and wished the spongy part was lighter and fluffier texture. Also the cake is a bit on the more expensive side compared to the cakes I usually buy from chinese bakeries. I would contemplate buying cakes again because of the price but may try the other flavors for future special occasions read more

Hands down, the best cookie I've EVER had! Cant wait to try more items on their menu. read more

The lemon toffee cake was delicious! If you like salty caramel, you'll like this as it has a salty/sweet taste. We also had the mango chiffon which was good and the guava cookies were very good. The kids ate all of the cookies in less than 5 mins! Will need to go again to try the other desserts! The only thing I didn't like was the front desk person at East Bay eats was too occupied w/his phone and didn't want to tell "Mom" that we were there. He said to wait a couple of mins. When we asked again, he finally went to tell her we were there to pick up our custom order. read more

I ordered the Kahlua Krinkle cookies, ube Oreos, coco puffs combo, and a Hawaiian Chantilly Cake for my friend's birthday. The birthday girl is from Hawai'i & had been craving a Hawaiian Chantilly cake, and she was so happy with it. Everything was SO good. I didn't get a chance to take a picture because we were so excited to try everything & then couldn't stop eating once we started. Tina was also so incredibly kind when I picked everything up! I will absolutely be buying again, and have already recommended Mom's Homemade Bread to my friends! read more

Guava cake - my family loved this cake, not too sweet. The cream is fluffy, the guava jelly filling is perfect, the cake is moist yet light. I can feel the homemade love. Will definitely try all the other cakes Coconut Haupia Pie - not so accustomed to the jelly texture of the coconut cream but it was a good experience in a taste of Hawaii. read more

I recently ordered the mochi bites for a work party, and Tina, the owner, could not have been more accommodating! When she heard they were for a party, she even plated them on serving plates for me. They were such a hit that everyone was asking me where I got them. I've also tried her guava chiffon cake and huapia pie previously, both also very delicious. You can tell she really cares about her craft. Don't sleep on this wonderful small mom and pop Hawaiian bakery! read more

Mom's Homemade Bread - Mochi bites! The flavors were so spot on! - Desserts Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Delicious Hawaiian goodies made by this mother and daughter team who are extremely sweet and kind. I'm addicted to her guava cookies (it has guava jam on the inside) and her Kona coffee shortbread cookies. I've had both their guava and mango chiffon cakes and I can't really pick a favorite. They're both delicious, moist and not too sweet. I love their butter, lilikoi and guava mochi bites. Really soft, slightly chewy mochi bites that even kids will love. Perfect size for little hands to nibble on. You can order online on their site and it'll be ready within 2 days. Great communication through text. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Mom's Homemade Bread yet! My family loves guava cake and MHB makes a delicious one. We were curious to see if the mango cake would be just as good. And IT IS! We ordered cakes for all our birthdays and this is just a personal favorite of ours. I really can't say anymore other than if you dream of having a delicious guava or mango cake, this is the place. read more

Maybe tri valley standards are lower but there are wayyy better "home bakeries" elsewhere in the South Bay and peninsula area. The loafs pretty much were indistinguishable from one another, and the only memorable cookie was the guava cookie because it had interesting texture / filling. The other cookies were just shortbread with flavored icing, essentially. The price is right for a variety box though and the folks who run the place are nice! read more

Tried their Ube cheese cake and guava chiffon was delicious. Had this at a Hawaiian festival. They were already almost out of everything.

I stayed home to receive my Covid-19 vaccine and rescheduled my visit to Honolulu, again. I did need a love letter from the islands and ordered from Mom's! The Furikake Chex-mix is a homemade family favorite and it's delicious! I've tried to bake it off myself, but you need a mother's love to get it right. Mama Tina gave me a sample of her Coconut Mango Chichi Dango. It is a traditional Girl's Day (Hina-matsuri) treat for March 3rd. So 'Ono! Broke da mout! read more

11-21-2020 scrumptious Perishable Thanksgiving care box arrived from Pleasanton, California. Went specifically to the post office today to pick it up. Did you know heavenly goodies that satisfy all 6 senses are packed like delicate treasures in a red tin box? From a person who LOVES moist banana bread this is a glutton's fantasy come true for me. For those more refined, perfect for fancy afternoon tea with special loved ones limited to the Tier we are in at present. Hubs loves pumpkin so besides many other flavors included, we have the best of both worlds and then some. Usually I'd be flying up to spend Thanksgiving with Doc C and her sweet Frenchie but due to the current travel advisories, it's best to stay put. There are enough yummies in the gift container to last hubs and me til Black Friday for sure. Hubs tasted the guava cookies and I devoured the chocolate chip banana mini loaf. So decadent... individually wrapped, tastes fresh out of the oven, made with love. If you are looking for a novel enjoyable gift for someone with discerning taste buds, they will enjoy these baked masterpieces. Rich, smooth and filling as a dessert... okay it's 3:30 p.m. now. We will definitely enjoy more at 8:15 p.m. when our internal alarm clocks always goes off around this time, EACH evening... each packet comes solo, no pairs so... you may need to share. It comes with the season...Thanksgiving: give thanks and be truly grateful to those you love and love you back. read more

If you are living around Pleasanton and looking for a special cake (and basically tired of Paris Baguette or 85C Bakery), try this homemade cake by Mom's Homemade Bread. I pre-ordered this cake 2 days before for my husband's bday and they responded for the confirmation. When you pick up the cake, you can pay via Venmo or cash. For the price of $40, this is so worth it! The only downside is if you have to drive far, make sure to keep it somewhere cool since this cake has some toffee crunch and melts when it gets too hot. As for the cake, it was so soft and moist. I really love everything with toffee and others may find this too sweet. As for me, i'm completely okay with it and I loge every single bite! It was actually sinful and addicting! Lol I felt adding 5lbs after eating 2 slices Tina (the baker) was so nice upon meetup and she said to indulge on this type of cake same day. We did eat this until Day 3 and it was still good! read more

I live in OC and I usually come to Pleasanton for Indian lunch w my boyfriend maybe once every 2-3 months. I've been saving this place for the last few months and finally was able to pick up some snacks to try (i didn't pre-order ahead). I got banana bread with walnuts and chocolate, Furikake chex mix, and a chocolate cranberry. Tina and her daughter are very sweet! Once I got there pick up was fairly easy, i called Tina and her daughter handed me my sweets. I love how their stuff are not too sweet. The banana bread was moist and not dry at all! I love their furikake chex mix, better than the ones i've had in Hawaii, those were too sweet in my opinion. I love how they added skinny skinnny pretzel pieces, unlike most places they have the thicker ones. Definitely will come back to try their guava goodies. Thanks Tina and daughter! read more

Just wanted to leave another update for the page. I had ordered the new Ube Haupia Pie and a Lemon Crunch Cake. It was sort of last minute and appreciated them getting this out the door to me. The ube haupia was pretty awesome. It's a new (to me) take on the "classic" haupia pie from Hawaii. They told me the ube was fresh and it wasn;t some fake concoction from the bottle. And you can really tell. You taste the almost sweet potato texture in the ube filling. I use ube extract in my crinkle cookies and you can totally tell that taste apart from something fresh. The haupia pie flavor was on point and loved the crumble of the pie crust. The lemon crunch cake was pretty awesome too. It has this lemon curd that's also homemade and it has such a different flavor from what you think of lemon. It's more potent, but in a good way. The toffee crumble was the icing on the cake, no pun intended. My neighbor stole half of the cake from me and confessed she had most of it for breakfast the next morning. Totally going to try all that Tina and her crew offers on their website. Surely, they're just as amazing. Really hope to see them grow into a brick n mortar. One thing that stands out - the desserts aren't overly sweet. It almost feels like you can reach for that extra slice without consulting your primary care doctor. Almost. Would love to see maybe some marketing stickers on the boxes to get the word out. My buddies kept asking me where it was from - wish I could have just pointed to the boxes. The only thing that would have made this better was if we were eating this on the shores of Lanikai beach sipping on some Heinie's. read more

Owner is Amazing! Great personality and very friendly! Sweets were delicious! And I'm a savory type of person, give me steak any day, everyday, a ribeye a day keeps my doctor away! Desserts very good quality! Was tasting everything so I could decide what to purchase for my sister's picnic. Bought chantilly cake slice, guava cake slice, guava crunch cake slice, lemon lilikoi cookies, strawberry cream puffs, all Malasadas, filled and unfilled. All ranked from most liked to least. I guess I'm just not a drier pastry type of gal! All the fruit items were very refreshing. My 6 year old son loved the cookies and I must admit, that I don't usually let him eat a lot of sweets but I didn't feel guilty because they weren't super sugary!!!!! I will be ordering my sister's 38th birthday cake from here! If you get a chance, give this place a try!!!! read more

Every single weekend it feels like I'm going grocery shopping, thankfully I switch things up and go to different grocery stores/Produce Stands for a change of scenery. I've been going to the Windmill Farms Produce Stand for years, and they've always stocked their shelves with goods sourced from local businesses. When I was checking out today I noticed some new products on their counter, and when I asked the cashier she said that they were really good. So I picked up a few! I got their White Chocolate cranberry cookies, Guava Cookies and Chocolate Chip cookies. So here are my thoughts. I loved the White Chocolate Cranberry, they were very smooth and nicely sweet, and the Guava Cookies, the jelly was a nice surprise and so tasty . I wish I could say the same about the chocolate chip cookies, for me personally they were too sweet, I think maybe if they used semi sweet chips instead of milk chocolate chips it would've turned out different. Overall, I really like their cookies and if I saw their products again I would give them a try, especially their fruity flavors!!!! read more

I needed a housewarming gift for a friend and according to German tradition you bring a homemade loaf of bread and salt. The current pandemic, unfortunately, prevented to me to bring my friend these items in person and so I opted for the next best thing: home delivery. A quick search on Yelp lead me to Tina at Mom's Homemade Bread. I sent an email to Tina and within minutes she responded via text. I'd described the German tradition to her and she suggested adding some salted chocolate chip cookies. What a great idea! The delivery was flawless and Tina informed me about it after she'd dropped off the homemade goodies. Thank you, Tina! Here's what my friend wrote to me afterwards: "I got three breads and chocolate chip cookies with seasalt from her. The breads (Papaya Pineapple, Mango Coconut, and Lemon Bread w/Guava filling) felt like they were fresh out of the oven, super flavorful and very moist. I could actually taste each flavor and they were not overpowering flavors by any means. What made these breads a winner was the fact that the amount of sugar was just perfect! The chocolate chip cookies were also baked to perfection. Again, the beauty of her baking is that each ingredient fits in perfect and nothing is too much or too little. Fresh and made with love! Thank you for ordering from her because she is my go to here moving forward!" read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I specifically texted the night before like the website said for malasadas and gave her my order which she responded and let me know the quantities. As I showed up to pick up my order I used the kiosk and was told the flavor I requested the night before she did not have. I then selected another flavor and placed my order. I sent a text asking why if I requested specific flavors the night before they were unavailable when requested ahead of time. When I got back after getting the your order is ready I was sent a text stating she did not appreciate the questions I had and cancelled the order when I was standing to pick up the order. Horrible customer service and if you do not like customers requesting clarification you should not list your phone number to contact on orders, extremely disappointed read more
