Came down to old downtown Pleasanton for the Farmers Market and saw this Bakery and Yelp it. Saw good reviews and selections. Before we left I back track and went inside, some of their products are pricey and some on the counter displays are reasonable. Ordered 6 items cost me little bit than I expected. Overall the they're not sweet, very tasty wasn't disappointed. Service was fast ( by the time I was there I guess perfect timing). Ambiance nice decor, display and I think one or two table inside and some outside. read more

I ordered a custom birthday cake from this bakery and, unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. I placed the order online and uploaded a Ferrari image to be included on the cake. When I arrived for pickup, the image was missing. I was told there may have been an additional charge for including an image, which felt like my original request was being questioned. If there is an extra cost for image printing, it should be clearly communicated during the ordering process. As a customer, I relied on the total shown at checkout and had no reason to assume anything further was required. While I was waiting for clarification, there was also some confusion where I was mistaken for another customer and asked unrelated questions. Although this did not delay my order, it was frustrating--especially as I was already trying to process how to explain to my 7-year-old why the cake he was expecting did not turn out as planned. When I asked if anything could be done, I was given two options: take the cake as it was or return later. Since returning was not feasible, I effectively had no alternative. What stood out most was the lack of acknowledgment or apology for the situation. Given this bakery's reputation for custom cakes, I expected clearer communication, better coordination, and a more customer-focused approach--particularly for important occasions like a child's birthday. I hope this feedback is taken constructively to improve both the online ordering clarity and the in-store experience. read more

This place should be under the Controlled Substances Act. Everything I've had here, and it's a fair number of things, is anywhere from very good to AYFKM. Service has always been good, some friendlier than others but that's to be expected. Ambiance is irrelevant to me add a bakery, but it's always clean and nicely organized. They also carry Icelandic chocolate bars from time to time and those are preposterously good. read more

All their pastries are amazing. The staff is very friendly. They have great pies, amazing princess cake and wide variety of cakes to try. Been coming here for years. Great place to get pastries for events and birthday cakes as well, or to pop in for a treat with ur coffee. Would recommend to a friend. read more

Pretty disappointed. My first experience trying a product from here and it was comparable to a Safeway sheet cake. It's very possible the other (non-vegan) items are tasty, however, this was not my experience. Purchased the vegan strawberry mousse cake and it was mostly frosting with three very thin layers of actual cake. Not to mention it was 8" and cost $40.00. Big bummer. read more

Went In for desserts only ,I wanted to compare the croissants to a Korean bakery I had just purchased one from. If you enjoy a sweeter filling the ones at primrose definitely win . The cases were full of all kinds of treats I seriously wanted to try everything. The location itself is very small and it was packed. They do have a couple of tables outside if you would like to sit. I will be going back when ever I am in the area to try more desserts . read more

Delicious desserts and great customer service. Loved the whole experience and the food we got. Coffee was delicious.

Got the German Chocolate Mini Cake from Primrose. First off, did not realize it was $15.65 before tax, for essentially the size of a slice of cake. Even the most expensive boutique patisseries in the South Bay Area charge 1/2 to 1/3 of the price. The chocolate cake itself was so dry it tasted like ash. The topping was overly sweet. An awful cake at an awful price. I am now 3 for 3 for bad tastes from this bakery, officially done giving them a chance to improve. read more

They have the best desserts it's my only go to My favorite bakery for any sweet treats of cookies, pastries, cakes etc

I've been here several times and everything has been a hit so far! I've gotten a couple of things, the cowboy cookie, the bearclaw, a mini pecan pie, a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving - those are the only things I can think of off the top of my head. Everything was yummy! The bearclaw in particular, I think about it all the time because it was sooo good. Perfectly sweet, so soft on the inside, but still crisp on the outside. Walking by the bakery always draws you in because it smells so good! The staff is also really nice and patient, I'm super indecisive and they have so many options it's hard to chose! read more

I received many compliments on the chocolate cream pie and chocolate torte...I will order them again for future dessert needs.

The flavors did not disappoint the cream pie was smooth and yummy and the Torte was perfect with a cold glass of milk. read more

Did someone say dessert? If yes, proceed to Primrose Bakery located in downtown Pleasanton. I came here with my posse after we did the 2-1/2 hour Ghost Walk through downtown Pleasanton last Friday night. It's a lovely establishment filled with an assortment of desserts such as my personal favorite cannoli's! They even have dog treats! The staff is super friendly too. Be sure to stop by when you're in town. read more

I stopped by just to browse around and found this gem! The pastries are legit (I was so hungry I forgot to take pictures. I got the hazelnut cake, macarons, chocolate croissant, and maple bourbon eclair. Everything was amazing but the maple bourbon eclair was too sweet for my taste. Stop by to check out this place! The staff was so nice and helpful! NOTE: Homemade Bacon Dog Treats? YES! My dog loves these treats. So if you love your fur baby, make sure you grab a bag. read more

Great cannoli my 16yr old baby girl devoured all 8 to herself in 1 day she didn't even share w/ me her brothers & sister

So I got suckered into their ice cream sandwich scam. I see the sandwich board on the corner every time I'm in town. It's eaten away at my resolve over the months. I finally gave in this week. This place is a legitimate bakery, so it felt weird to order only an ice cream sandwich, but I was already committed to a plan. I had a mint chip ice cream sandwich using an M&Ms cookie and a Cowboy Cookie. The cookies were thick, which made the sandwich thick. I don't really like thick ice cream sandwiches. So I bailed out. I ate the ice cream from the middle and then ate the cookies as cookies. While the ice cream was average, the cookies were really, really good. High end bakery cookies. Service was friendly and there was a wide selection, so I'm rounding the review up to 5* and will try more traditional baked goods (or maybe just more cookies) another time. read more

Stopped into Primrose Bakery and grabbed a few treats: a cannoli, a chocolate pastry, and the Princess pastry. The cannoli had a perfectly crisp shell and lovely creamy filling and the chocolate pastry was pretty yummy. My daughter loved the princess pastry. I would encourage all to try their pastries if you are in the area. read more

The first time we came here, it was genuinely enjoyable. I don't remember exactly what we ordered, but we tried 7+ items and most of them were solid--we left with a good impression overall. We stopped by again today hoping to relive that experience, but unfortunately, it didn't hold up. We ordered the red velvet cheesecake, tres leches cake, princess cake, raspberry and chocolate raspberry hamantashen, maple bourbon eclair, and rhubarb pie. This time? Yikes--we couldn't finish any of them. Most items tasted bland or felt like they weren't fresh. It left us wondering if they had been sitting out for a while. It's possible that timing matters--we came on a Saturday last time, and maybe the freshness or quality is better earlier in the weekend. Some bakeries separate their items based on when they were baked, and that kind of transparency could make a big difference. We'd consider giving it one more try, but today's visit was a letdown. read more

Delicious, delectable bakery items, anything your heart desires. They also have a great coffee menu, the best, coffee served in Pleasanton. A cup of iced coffee and a treat, can't beat that. read more

This cute little bakery has been around for awhile and specializes in European style desserts & baked goods. Service is nice, polite, and friendly. Today, we tried the Napoleon, which was delicious and flakey. Though, it was a bit narrow of a slice, but overall, good. read more

Everything I've tried at Primrose is delicious except for the peanut butter cookies. They are just a little too bitter for my taste. But everything else is great, such as their cakes. A little on pricey side but worth a splurge. The servers are always friendly. read more

So lucky to have an amazing bakery close by. This was a last minute order and look how beautiful!! I wish I took better pictures because in person the cake was actually sparkling in gold. Cake was a tres leche and it was THE best I have ever had. super moist cake covered in whipped cream not too sweet creamy custard inside layers perfectly milky at the bottom read more

I have bought multiple types of pastries and cakes from Primrose and have never been let down. The quality of their desserts is very good, each one flavorful, but not too cloying or sickly sweet. I especially like their chocolate cakes. They're chocolatey, but not too dense. Today I got a savory panikopita turnover that had feta and I think spinach? It was buttery and flaky and so good warmed up. Every time I go in to Promise, whoever is working the counter is pleasant and welcoming. Even better, they open early and stay open late! I recommend Primrose to anyone looking to pop in for good dessert in Pleasanton! read more

Stopped by on a whim to get dessert after having dinner on a Saturday evening. Such a nice surprise to find this little charming bakery. We ordered 3 different desserts. A pistachio cannoli which had ricotta cheese and pistachio cream filling encrusted with chopped pistachio, a cupcake and a petit four iced in white chocolate. All the desserts were perfect! It's so cute inside too. With nice paintings on the wall. They serve cakes, pastries, cookies, wine and coffee as well. Looking forward to trying more of their offerings... read more

My fiancé stopped by while I was getting a haircut next door. She opted for the mini croissants and a tiramisu. Tiramisu (4/5): not overly sweet! More on the spongey/cakey side rather than a very soft/creamy tiramisu. It was not dry at all. For some reason, the taste also reminded me of a cheesecake. Although it's not like a traditional tiramisu, it was still Mini Croissants (4/5): popped them in the toaster the day after. Quite flaky and not super sweet, which I enjoy. These taste more homemade compared to ones you'd get at Paris Baguette or other Asian bakeries. read more

Overpriced!! The taste and texture were not expected. My daughter refused to eat the cupcake after she ate a little bit. I can't force myself to finish the Tiramisu either. read more

I found the cutest little bakery. I can tell all of their items are made with love and the presentation is wonderful. They are on the pricey side, but after drinking a couple martinis I couldn't resist. They were the perfect treat to end the night. What I appreciate is how they are open late! Other bakeries could never. Next time, I'd love to try their wine and bread. It's a tiny place with seating outdoors and the vibe of downtown pleasanton gives such a unique vibe. I will definitely stop by next time to try some cake as well. The cashiers were really nice; everything came in a cute pink box. 10/10 read more

Unfortunately the $68 lady finger, black and white butter cream cake I purchased for a family member's birthday lacked the freshness of rich chocolate and vanilla buttercream sweetness. Very bland! The lady fingers that surrounded the cake were stale, probably due to being in refrigeration too long. The inside of the cake was just as underwhelming as the outside of it. Extremely disappointed!! read more

I don't live in the area. I live over by Concord, but I had met a friend for a late breakfast and I wanted some good bread and something sweet for later. After this visit, I can't wait to go back! Rye bread: so good! It's hearty and real bread, not like what you find on grocery shelves. It's not a strong rye, which I do love, but with its milder flavor profile I found it works with more foods. If I understood correctly, they don't make the bread and another baker supplies it under what I assume is a contract as it has a Primrose label. ***** Bourbon Maple Eclair ---- I can't stop thinking about it! So delicious!! The puff pastry was perfect. Real puff pastry isn't rubbery and too often that's what you get. This isn't just lazily filled with whipped cream like 90% of places when you get an eclair, it's half filled with a perfect custard and whipped cream. Now, as I write this I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't tell you all this, as then you'll go there and buy it all. But on the other hand, if you go and keep up love and demand this excellent bakery keeps doing their thing. My sincere compliments to the pastry chef! Chocolate cake: I got one of the personal sized, though really good for 2 people or 2 servings round cakes. I honestly don't know which cake I ended up with - could have been the salted caramel in. The sponge was light with a good flavor, the frosting etc had a good balance of sweetness. I recommend highly. It was the best cake of this style I've had in a long time. Presentation - all their offerings look amazing and if getting desserts to share with friends these will make a lovely visual presentation and delight the palates. Oops! No photos. Guess I'll have to go back soon and correct this error:) Go! Enjoy! read more

Very delicious princess cakes! And I assume the dog cookie was good because my dog really loves it!

We ordered a retirement cake from Primrose and it was a huge hit!! The cake was very moist, and orange filling was amazing! A lot of us have never had orange filling but it was great! It wasn't too sweet, just perfect. The cake itself was light and moist, as well as the buttercream frosting! The staff were very helpful and accommodating. They delivered on time, and the baker himself delivered the cake. It was a bit pricey but we'll worth it with all the raves we got! read more

This was our second time here at this bakery we loved the ambiance selection of treats and choices! We drove an hour and a half just to check out the bakery and downtown pleasington but was disappointed when we realized the night shifter last night forgot our cowboy cookie, our cherry turnover and we got charged for them! I did get everything else we ordered not sure how it was missed. Other than that it's very nice read more

This beautiful bakery caught my attention after work one day and I'm so glad my husband and I decided to come in. There were so many delicious goods to choose from, from crème brûlée and cannolis to dozens of different cookies. We came in late so some items were sold out, but they still had plenty to choose from. I got a Florentine cookie along with a few other treats and this was easily the best Florentine I've ever had. Other packaged, store-bought versions are usually either too thick or bend like rubber since they're overly coated in sugar, or they don't have a good chocolate-to-almond ratio. This cookie, however, was perfectly thin and so crisp that it snapped, and it was delicious! The other cookies and pastries we got were enjoyed by our family, and we'll definitely be back! read more

Recently my wife being the nicest person on earth, bought two peanut butter cookies for me. I was excited when she told me she bought for me. Unfortunately they were god awful. No flavor no body and didn't taste at all like peanut butter cookies. I asked what she paid and she said 4.50 each. Unbelievable for such a horrible product. We wont be back anytime soon. read more
