Overview: Small parking lot, small shop, big flavors ---- A few outside tables and one inside bench, it can get a little chilly sitting outside esp in th Opening up a location in alameda Very beautiful presentation of all of the pastries and I'm SO, SO happy that they have prices on all of their items!! They offer a unique fusion of Asian flavors with classic French pastries. ---- Pistachio Kataifi Croissant $9.50 - croissant is filled with kataifi and topped with pistachio cream and crushed pistachios - the croissant itself was a little too salty for me and I think it needs the sweetness of the pistachio cream on top - the croissant was still crispy at room temperature, but tasted better heated up - I would recommend air frying it or rebaking it instead of microwaving it bc the kataifi gets soggy ---- Notes: - parking lot is small - service was really quick and friendly - a nice display case with a wide variety of items and with their prices listed!! ---- Overall: unique flavors, picture perfect pastries, I can't wait for the Alameda location to open up so I can try more of their items and their drinks! read more

This place specializes in croissants and I ordered 8 different ones with an even split with savory and sweet to take home to my family and we were all able to try a bite of everything. I wish I wrote down what I ordered but luckily, I did take a picture. I ordered: Ham and Cheese, Almond, French Custard, Black Sesame, Passion Fruit Ganache, Cheese and Mushroom, Shrimp, and lastly, a kouign-amann. They also had a pastrami one that I wanted to try but they were sold out. Everything was delicious and buttery, as a croissant should be. Nothing was too sweet nor too salty however, I would recommend pairing it with either a nice cup of coffee or tea. My favorite so far was the cheese and mushroom and the kuign-amann but honestly, you cant go wrong with anything. Price wise, they started around $6 each which, for the quality you are getting, I believe is fairly priced. The staff were all very lively and super friendly. Also, the smell of freshly made croissants is absolutely intoxicating. I will definitely return to try the other items as well as their coffee. read more

Tried their somewhat new Pastrami Cup pastry. Be sure to have them heat it up and eat it fresh/ASAP! It's like a steak dinner in a pastry. Chunky pastrami, creamy white sauce, rosemary, and a mushroom umami that ties it all together. read more

I really wanted PIE, but since I couldn't think of any place to get a good fruit pie from in Castro Valley, I "settled" for Ones. Open four days a week and closing at 3pm, we knew that the selection would be sparse since it was already 2:45. Fortunately, everything that we've tried has been good so we knew selection wouldn't be that much of an issue. We got: Croffle with Strawberry Cream - 5 Black Sesame Onigiri Croissant (No Rice Involved) - 5 Passionfruit Ganache Muffin Danish - 5 Kouign Amann - 5 Yes. Four items scoring 5/5 each. Great textures and flavors, well executed individual pastries that only a Master Baker could consistently produce. read more

Got Ones Bakery in Castro Valley for Mother's Day and everything was amazing. The sweet cheese bowties were flaky, buttery, and had just the right amount of sweetness. The pistachio kataifi croissant was crispy and rich without feeling too heavy. Also tried the ube moon, strawberry moon, passion fruit ganache danish, and black sesame origami -- every pastry had its own flavor and none of them tasted overly sweet. You can tell they put a lot of thought into both the flavors and texture. Great and fast service. Cute little mom and pop shop! read more

Everything we tried was delicious. The ube moon, matcha croffle, and French tart were all on point--great flavors and not overly sweet. The sesame latte paired perfectly with everything, and the lemongrass chicken croissant was flavorful and super satisfying. Service was friendly and smooth. The storefront itself is small and cozy. Parking right out front can be tight, but there's a larger parking lot in the neighboring shopping center that makes it easier. Overall, a great spot and an easy 5/5. Would definitely come back. read more

It is a great news to know that this small business is expanding to Alameda. Their pastries are our favorite besides the one in Danville. The French patisserie with a hint of asian touch. Such as black sesame onigiri and matcha croffle. Parking could be a headache. They sure need a bigger retail space with more seatings. It is certainly a little gem in the area. read more

Just learned about this bakery and I'm here to try it for the first time first time! Honestly the spread of pastries they have is impressive; though the selection is not as vast as some bigger bakeries, the appearance is very professional and the size is big. From the classic croissants to creations such as pineapple kouign amann and ube moon, the choices can accommodate most guests. I bought ube moon, ham/cheese croissant, choco croissant, lemongrass chicken croissant, pineapple kouign amann, and strawberry croffle; and drinks I got ube latte, black sesame latte, and chai latte. I know that's a lot but I have 3 kids lol. I liked all the pastries especially the lemongrass chicken and ube moon. The pastries have nice crunchy exteriors and I enjoyed it! As for drinks, the black sesame latter is my favorite as it has a bold flavor and a nice balance of coffee and sesame. My least favorite is the ube latte cuz it lacks depth and not worth the price. The bakery is small but clean. There are some chairs and tables outside that guests can use. The prices of the items are reasonable for most. I will likely visit again to try other items. read more

Saw this viral bakery on Instagram and got to check it out. The location is in prime downtown area of Castro valley. We got there 30 mins before closing and was surprised that they still had a lot of options left. There were a lot that I was curious about, but we ended up going with the lemongrass chicken croissant and pistachio croissant. Lemon grass was very delicious. It was chicken thigh and seasoned very well. I wish the chicken was shredded because there were bites that didn't have chicken in it. Pistachio croissant is filled with pistachio cream. I liked it alot and would recommend trying this. Coffee selection was limited at the end of the day. The orange latte was very good. Love this spot and everyone should try One's Cafe! read more

I've been wanting to try this bakery for awhile now after seeing it on social media! My boyfriend went once around noon to try and pick up some pastries for me, but almost everything had sold out! This time, I came around 9am and was glad there were still some options left! This is a small cafe located in downtown Castro valley. Parking is a little weird- there's a small lot that only goes one way, but there's no outlet. There was a small line when I went and a few people seated outside enjoying their coffee and pastries. I got the almond croissant, strawberry and ube moon croissants and a passion fruit muffin danish. Everything was delicious! The moon croissants seemed to be the lost popular because I was able to snag the last three! The croissants were crispy and flaky on the outside with a good amount of filling inside. The moon croissants were probably my favorite of the bunch, but overall everything tasted fresh and delicious! If you're wanting to try out this bakery, come early! read more

My review is middle of the road. I dropped by this Friday morning, 8:30am. Parking is wonky. My three point turnaround skills came in handy. I walked into the bakery and did a once-over of what was available. Instantly spotted some options. The bakery display is really tall. I am not tall. One of the servers warmly greeted the Spanish speaking patrons that walked in after me-She probably knew them? We were all meandering our picks. I finally stepped in front of the register and asked if we were supposed to place our orders behind the thick plexiglass or order at the front. There were two young persons in the front that said either way would work. I was not greeted or welcomed, so I was confused. I placed my order for three pastries, it came out to be over $23. I did not add a tip, as I don't feel like placing three pastries in a box is warranted a tip. The pastries were good. I got the egg and potato croissant, pastrami and cheese, and a ham and cheese croissant. I felt like being greeted and acknowledged was a very basic thing to do in creating a great experience. Niche businesses need to realize this. Why did the donut business down the street become an icon in this town for decades? Because the people behind the counter loved the people coming in. Everyone was welcomed- even awkward new people like me. The pastries were good- not sure I will go back. read more

Really cool hidden pastry spot in Castro Valley. They have a very cool selection of pastries with some unique Asian flavors. I enjoyed them all, the flavor were great throughout. The cream filled ones were light and not too sweet. The only thing I have bad to say is that parking is super small and limited at their lot. You're better off parking across the street at Safeway and walking over. Other than that 10/10 spot! read more

Wow, this place exceeded my expectations! We drove by this little corner shop in Castro Valley so many times and we finally decided to give it a shot. Yes, the parking lot next to it is a little bit too small but there are so many big lots nearby you can just walk over. The pictures of their bakery goods look so good, and they actually taste just as good as they look. We got the Macha Croffle and it was probably the best thing we've ever had. It doesn't taste artificial, doesn't taste too sweet that it overwhelm the other flavors, and the croffle itself is just the perfect mixture of croissant and a waffle. It was buttery, crispy, and flaky. Definitely will be coming back for the other pastries and so excited to try all of them! read more

Visited on a Friday morning around 8am with a friend, bakery had about 2-3 other groups but not too busy, took about 5min to place our order and 5 minutes for team to warm up and pack our pastries. Food: pastrami stick - solid, pastry had decent lamination with some flakey layers, pastry had 1 slice of pastrami and a little bit of cheese in the long stick, flavors were good but wish this had more filling, pastry also seemed a little lean on butter Passion fruit pastry cream Danish - okay, laminated pastry was slightly dry wished this was a bit more buttery, Danish was filled with a generous amount of pastry cream which had good passion fruit flavor and balanced sweetness but texture was a little heavy on the starch/gelling agent Service was good, warm and friendly, really appreciated that staff was able to warm up the savory pastry we ordered. Overall pastries are okay at ones cafe, had higher hopes and expectations given the high ratings. Personally wouldn't go out of my way to revisit. read more

This place is a super cute little coffee shop with amazing pastries!! The strawberry moon was my favorite and was the perfect blend of fruity, crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside. My bf got the spicy chicken pastry and it was super juicy which I didn't expect. I got the vanilla latte which I had no complaints about and my bf got the chai latte that he liked as well. Would 100% come back and service was super friendly and fast! read more

Ones Café is a quaint little gem that took over Pampas' old spot. While there are plenty of coffee shops in the area, this one stands out for its small-business, artisan vibe. The menu has creative coffee options like ube lattes and orange lattes which unique and refreshing spins that you won't find everywhere in the area. Their pastries are on the pricier side, but you're paying for both the quality and the artistry, each one looks like a work of art and tastes just as good. The almond croissant was perfect: crispy outside, soft and flaky inside. The frangipane filling oozed out when warmed and it was giving a burst of almond cream in every bite. The potato, ham, and egg croissant was a savory masterpiece! It was like an eggs benedict in one buttery pastry. The croissant kept its crisp integrity, the potatoes were tender, the ham had a hollandaise-like coating, and the whole thing was topped with a perfectly cooked over-medium egg. I asked the lady at the register which ones were most popular after I had already ordered and she said that the lemongrass chicken and the moon croissants are big hits. Will definitely be back to try more pastries! read more

My husband went to pick up some pastries for me, so I couldn't speak for the service/atmosphere. This review is mainly for the food quality. He ordered a few items - French tart, Ube moon, and spicy lemongrass chicken. The french tart looks obviously undercooked, the dough is just a blop instead of layered and crispy like their other pastries. Is it supposed to be like that? Either way, not a fan. I like the taste of the spicy lemongrass chicken, but the pastry is a bit undercooked inside and drenched with the chicken oil/juice/sauce whatever. The first few bites are okay, then once I get to those damped part, I just had to spit it out... Ube moon is fine, maybe they pipet the filling in so the pastry isn't drenched. I'd probably come back and try other plain croissants, but the tarts/meat inside pastries is a no-no. *Mind you my review on Google didn't come through, so... Here's my review read more

Just a heads up, this place is TINY! So if you plan on coming with a bunch of folks, don't expect to have seating to accommodate that. However,Love their selection of pastries! The strawberry moon & black sesame onigiri is my absolute favorite! The black sesame latte is really good too! This is more of a grab some pastries and take them to go or only come with a couple of people. Either way, they're different and delicious! Just wished there was more space. read more

Very small establishment but very worth it. Parking can be a nuisance as its small and larger vehicles will likely have issues but it at least has parking. I came here on a Sunday closer to 1 pm. The menu isn't big, just staight to the point. The cashier lady was very patient with me and my friend who were just kind of all over. The Patries looked amazing, I myself didn't get one. I got the Iced Ube Latter, the cashier lady informed me is has no caffine. I respect that she said it but for me personally, Ube is not new to me. The spot is very quiet, even as it progressively got large groups coming through in the few hours we were there. I liked this spot very much, I will make an effort to repeat visits if not for the pastries than at least another Ube Latte. read more

Located between the Boulevard Pet hospital next to Chevron, and Rowell's Saddlery, taking over pampas old spot -- is a new asian-style woman owned bakery. They've got a dedicated parking lot, but to me, the parking lot isn't really usable unless you've got a scooter or a very small vehicle -- very narrow and difficult/impossible to turn around easily. The bakery itself has a handful of outdoor seating spaces, usually occupied. It's a very small and cozy corner shop, so I assume most of business will be grab-and-go foot traffic. The bakery consists of a small counter of assorted pastries, a small fridge of bottles and cans, and a counter where you can order from a selection of teas, lattes, cocoas. Most of the selection of pastries revolve around laminated dough -- like a croissant in a variety of different shapes and fillings, from moon, onigiri, croissant, bows, etc. Seeing that they specialize in this type of pastry, I tried a few including an almond croissant, ube moon, and black sesame onigiri. Almond croissant is unmatched, absolutely the best I've ever had. Definitely on the pricier side, but worth it to me -- it's fluffy, sweet inside, and super flaky and crisp outside. I was lucky to catch them right as they were just finished baking, and I gotta say I've never had an almond croissant nearly as good as this. For the ube & black sesame filling -- they're both a bit too sour for my taste, but the croissant/moon is absolutely perfect, otherwise. Black sesame latte - not a fan personally, it's a bit gritty with the black sesame, I was hoping it would be closer to a tang yuan filling in flavor, but it just doesn't work for me. I would highly recommend trying their butter croissant and almond croissant. Definitely get there early, as they tend to sell out before noon. Their hours may show from 8AM-3PM, but they often times sell out well before 3PM. read more

We ordered an almond croissant, a chocolate croissant, and the latest orange crème brûlée croissant. Today is a Friday around 10am so there was a good variety of sweet and savory items. Wow! Everything was so fresh, flaky and tasty. When I cut into the orange croissant/tart, true scent of orange zest hit my nose! Everything was delicious. I would have liked more chocolate in the chocolate croissant, but I am a lover of dark chocolate . Wait staff wasn't quite knowledgeable about whether some of the fruit fillings were fresh or not. read more

I've come back specifically for the almond croissant and spam bacon mushroom danish twice this month already. The pastries here are so so good - I'm planning on slowly trying them all!! Almond Croissant - The almond paste inside the croissant is so good and flavorful. I'm not a straight almond fan, but the way they've integrated it into the croissant is great. Highly recommend!! Spam Bacon Mushroom Danish - The perfect savory pastry :). I've been convincing myself this makes my breakfast balanced because there's mushrooms in it. We've also tried the chocolate croissant which looked perfect and tasted good! The ham and cheese was good as well, but not as memorable as the danish and almond croissant for us. We'll be back to try the moon pastries next!! There's a small parking lot and there's been a short line when we've come on Sunday mornings. The line moves pretty fast! read more

I had a really disappointing experience today, even though the service itself was kind and attentive. I only eat halal meat, so when something isn't halal I always order vegetarian and I always double check. Today I ordered the mushroom pastry and asked for the vegetarian pastry, and while they were ringing me up I double checked and said, "It's vegetarian, right?" which was confirmed. At first, when I noticed the texture, I honestly thought it was just a mushroom. But as I continued eating, there was a clear meaty taste. I checked the rest of the pastry and found an actual piece of meat inside. It smelled like meat and was very clearly not vegetarian. This was honestly heartbreaking for me because I'm extremely careful with food and always confirm before ordering. I understand mistakes can happen, but when someone explicitly asks for vegetarian, mix-ups like this really matter. The staff was very nice and the service itself was good, which is why this review is hard to write. I just hope the kitchen can be more careful going forward, especially for customers with dietary restrictions. read more

Addictive and satisfies that breakfast pastry craving! They offer your typical pastries along with pastries with an Asian twist. Selections include danishes, croissants, croffles, and egg tarts to name a few. So far, I've tried their egg tart, the black sesame onigiri, spicy lemongrass chicken croissant, and the fruit croffle. The black sesame onigiri is not an "onigiri" in the traditional sense. It's really a pastry filled with black sesame shaped like an onigiri and they don't skimp on the filling. If you love black sesame like myself, highly recommend! The spicy lemongrass croissant was a nice savory option and had a good amount of heat and flavor to it. As far as egg tarts go, it's pricier than I'm used to, but they do a beautiful job with the layering of the tart. No indoor seating, but outdoor seating available when weather permits. Would recommend parking across the street in the plaza with the Safeway since there's more parking available and it's easier to get in and out of. Would also recommend getting there early, since I imagine they may run out of items as the day progresses. Definitely including in my rotation of after work breakfast treats. read more

Their croissants are perfect. They have an amazing crunch and softness! Personally, I wasn't the biggest fan of the sesame croissant just because it was a little too much sesame for me. The Ube moon croissant is delicious but it tastes a little bit like a mix of jasmine or floral with Ube. The strawberry moon croissant is my favorite. It's not too overpowering of strawberry, and the cream is delicious! The chai drink taste like milk with cinnamon. It doesn't really taste like chai. The Ube drink. Wasn't strong of Ube flavor so I feel like it could've tasted better. The service there is pretty quick you just order and get your stuff in less than five minutes. The bakery itself is small but cute! read more

I've lived in castro valley for a couple of years but never knew this bakery existed until someone mentioned on an Asian app. We live nearby so during one of our grocery runs, we stopped by to try out their pastries. Parking: small lot. Very limited spots. Ambiance: very small bakery. No seating inside. There are some seating outside but I can tell this is establishment meant for take out. Service: quick. There was no line when we went. Food: 3/5. Pastries were average. I got the sesame onigiri and it was only ok. Like others mentioned, they do have some asian flavor inspired pastries that you won't be able to find in a typical French bakery Cost:$$. Pastries were expensive for their size. read more

So glad we finally stopped by this gem of a bakery! Located at the old Pampas Cafe location near the corner where Chevron is. They have a small parking lot. No problem finding a spot around 10:30-11am when we went. So many beautiful pastries to choose from! It was hard to pick, but ended up going with: Pastries: chocolate croissant - sooo flaky and the texture was perfect. lemongrass chicken croissant (recommended by the man behind the counter) - super flavorful! I do wish the size of the chicken in relation to the rest of the croissant was more even but the butteriness of the croissant was just as good! *have these heated up before leaving!* Drinks: ube latte - more milky and on the sweeter side. Didn't taste much coffee. Loved the color! black sesame latte - this was more coffee forward-- faint sesame flavor, although there were crushed black sesame seeds in the foam. It was a beautiful sunny morning. We enjoyed our pastries and lattes in the little outdoor patio out front (they have another one on the side near the lot). Friendly service, cozy bakery. Going to come back to try the other pastries because they all looked promising! read more

A true gem in Castro Valley! Beautiful and amazing pastries. We tried an array of pastries here. The moons are a favorite. The pastry is so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The cream is so dreamy! Beautiful execution of all their pastries. One star off for slow service. While the cashier took our order, a worker seemed like he was packing our order. Not sure what happened, but we waited like 20 mins for 5 pastries. Also the box seems to be tricky. It took the worker a bit of fumbling to assemble the box. Also, these won't be a frequent treat as they are a bit pricey. read more
