Their baguettes were great and their Irish Soda Bread was surprisingly delicious! I saw this place pop up on Check Please Bay Area and decided to give this place a shot while I was around in the Pacifica Area. I was genuinely surprised it was located in an old outlet/plaza and felt slightly out of place vs all the other older shops but after stopping by here, I can definitely say it was like a gem in the rough that was well worth the visit. The wait time here was a bit long at around 10 in the morning but oddly the line died down quite quickly at around 11 onwards, so it seems like the wait time can fluctuate throughout the day. Decided to order a few sweet pastries, pizza, and baguettes and after trying a bit of each one, they were all great in quality and freshly made. It was also my first time trying an Irish Soda bread and I have to say it was like a very dense pound cake with dried fruit inside and thoroughly enjoyed it! All the staff here were very friendly and felt very welcoming to enjoy a brief stay here for my baked goods and coffee (coffee was also great quality too). If I'm ever back in Pacifica for whatever reason, I can definitely see myself making a bit of a drive to stop by here for more. Check Please Bay Area wasn't wrong and I'll also give my recommendation as well for others to give this place a shot too.

Mazettis Bakery in Pacifica is a charming little gem of a mom and pop shop that is well worth…read moreseeking 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.

Not busy on the weekend and the person at the store was friendly. The strawberry lemon pie was good…read morebut why advertise it as strawberry lemon pie when the only strawberry present is the tiny slice on top. The strawberry here is just a garnish like a cherry on top of an ice cream. Not really bringing anything else to the party. Nevertheless it was a nice lemon pie. The potpie however was bad. The entire bottom was soggy, the filling gloopy with cold spots despite us asking for it to be warmed up. You're better off getting a potpie at KFC or one of those frozen one in a grocery store. The flavor was bland too. Don't think I'll be coming back.

We ordered the personal cherry pie, the chocolate chip cookie, ice cream, and the pizza croissant. All the items were delicious. The ice cream is from Mitchell's, which is a SF brand and delicious. The mozarella croissant tasted great when we heated it up at home later. The cookie was also pretty good, but was not super fresh. And the pie was pretty good when. We heated it up but not as flaky as we would have liked. Overall, the desserts were great and we would come back.

This was my second visit to this casual cafe spot. I didn't write a review on my first visit…read morebecause it was a bit of a letdown. One, the customer in front of us took a long time deciding what to order and we missed the weekend brunch menu by 8 minutes. Two, the cashier gave us the wrong number card so the staff couldn't find us to deliver our food. And three, though this was a cafe style place, customer service was subpar. We decided to give it another try because there must be a reason why this place was always busy. Came a bit early this time. The line was long but was moving fairly fast. There is QR code for the menu so I'd say check it out while you wait in line for at least 20 minutes! It will help to expedite your ordering process once you get to the cashier. There's a good amount of seatings both indoors and outdoors. A good spot to leisurely enjoy your meal if you're not pressed for time. I have had the Vietnamese iced coffee which was very good. This time around had the Cubano (their specialty latte) which was smooth, balanced, and so good! I was able to order the Irish breakfast this time that was only offered on their weekend brunch menu and only until 2pm. We waited a while for our food. And when we finally did, it was not even warm. This was a bit disappointing! The saving grace were the roasted potatoes and sautéed mushrooms that came with my breakfast dish. They were very good. The side salad that accompanied the Lorraine quiche was also very good. I would come back to this cafe definitely for the Cubano, the Ube cream puff, and maybe try some other pastries. As for the breakfast... 67

I wanted everything on their menu, but only allowed a sausage roll and a minced beef pie. They had other savory pies like chicken pot pie, mushroom and Swiss, and breakfast pies. You honestly can't go wrong with any of them. If they happened to have the sausage rolls, get them. But if I'm in line behind you and you take the last sausage roll, I will fight you for it. The spicy one was to die for. It's not too spicy, it's like those spicy Italian sausage. Very flaky, not too heavy, but they don't skimp out on the meat, so you will be full. I absolutely loved the fennel seeds in the sausage! I just don't know how to be full, so i tried their pie too. While the minced beef pie was good, it wasn't as great as the sausage roll. This is a piece I am willing to trek all the way down the 1 for.

Limited selection close to opening on a Sunday, which feels odd considering you would expect that to be a busier day/time for them, but the west coast, and a small coastal town specifically, moves slow. Overall, when there is a good selection of sweets, savories, and sausage roll, this is an awesome spot. Coffee is ok, depends on the barista that day. They have acai as an option as well if pie isn't your thing, the granola tastes homemade. View and vibe inside can't be beat.

Food & drinks are pretty good, they've raised their prices since changing ownership, which is a bummer, but hey I get it. Prices are rising all over the place. Keep up the awesome work & retain your awesome staff, specifically Christopher. He has a very uplifting presence in your cafe & is sure to bring in repeat customers with his charisma & acute memory for details. It's a cozy little spot with beautiful artwork of the coast painted by Pam Anderberg around the place. It has a beautiful natural lighting via the sky light & the outside bike parking area is nice! They always have water for the refills when I would swing by here on bicycle rides. Sometimes parking is tight, as in not a lot of availablilty of spots. But even then it's worth the short walk. Excellent HWY 1 cafe within this small outdoor shopping center area. Cheers

Loved that this place is super walkable from the hotel we stayed at, which made it an easy stop…read more When you walk in, it has a nice open layout and even an upstairs area so it feels a bit more spacious than your typical coffee spot. It looked like there was just one person handling both the cashier and drink orders, but he managed everything really smoothly. I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk and honey and when he finished it, he realized he accidentally made it with vanilla syrup instead. Without hesitation, he remade it right away and even offered me the first one for free, which I thought was really kind and showed great customer service. The matcha itself was decent but it wasn't nothing mind blowing but definitely good enough to enjoy and sip on. It had a nice balance and wasn't overly sweet, which I appreciated. What really stood out more than anything was the service. The guy was friendly, professional, and genuinely attentive, which made the experience better overall. If you're looking for a quick matcha fix in a convenient location with solid service, this is a good spot to check out!

Walked in Saturday morning and it was empty except for a couple waiting for their drinks. While waiting to order (since the staff was busy preparing drinks), another customer walked in and asked if the falafel bagel was available which the staff said yes to. The customer then patiently waited behind us. We were told to wait since they would be done with the drinks soon. A few minutes later, another staff member asked the other customer what he wanted in his falafel bagel and proceeded to make it. We said that we hadn't placed our order yet and the staff making the drinks said "It takes longer to make and he's a regular customer." Oh. That's how it is here. After we finally ordered and got our bagels (since we wanted to still enjoy our breakfast), we were again disappointed. The everything bagel was flat, small and kind of doughy. (Perhaps not fully cooked?) The egg and cheese with cream cheese was added sloppily. Disappointing since we have just moved here and want to support small businesses. We'll just have to take our business elsewhere.

So sad when the last bite was gone. Wish we had bought two loaves. She bakes them at home. You order online and pickup, or get them delivered if you are within reach. Quite expensive at $20/loaf, but she uses organic ingredients... and those are very heavy loaves. Goes well with beer, even for those who don't like beer. I like the vegan samples and regular loaf equally. Not as into the samples I had of the Banana Bread Chocolate Chip Cookies. They taste quite like normal Chocolate Chip Cookies that I am not into. Comes in a nice box and makes decent gifts.

It's really one of the only Chinese style bakeries around the area so this is the one I typically would go to. The baked goods are decent. It's not any of the best I've ever had but it does satisfy the cravings. They also serve milk tea there or you can also ask for Yin Yang, which is 50% coffee and 50% milk tea. The service is OK the staff there collect your money and get you on your way so really nothing to complain about there. The bake shop and ambience is that of a typical Chinese style bakery you walk in and you grab your tray along with the tongs and you pick out the specific pastries that you want, and you put it on the plate and give it to the staff person at the front near the counter. That's also where you can get your egg tarts and other type of goods such as the more fresh pastries with meat in inside like a cha siew bao. If you pay with cash is cheaper as I believe they charge a surcharge when you pay with credit card. Parking is easy because it is just part of the big plaza area with plenty of parking.
