I can't believe I haven't written a review for a business my kids and I frequent all the time!…read moreWe've been coming to Always Yours since it opened. Hands down they have the best drinks, cookies, macarons, cakes, and now salt bread! I always come to get treats for my kid's teachers (for their birthdays, teacher appreciation week, just because, etc.). I've brought friends visiting the Bay Area to this bakery, which they have loved. Always Yours also has fun cup sleeve events, macaron classes and afternoon tea from time to time. We love supporting small businesses and this one is definitely worth supporting! P.S. with all these drink places popping up in the area...we still think the drinks at Always Yours not only taste better, but also are of higher quality.

I recently heard about the salt bread at Always Yours, along with the banana pudding matcha latte,…read moreand knew I had to try both. We heard that there had been some long lines recently and that the bread can sell out fast, so he went ahead of me to get in line before they opened, but he said there actually wasn't a line this time. We went on a Sunday afternoon and got two each of the regular and chili oil scallion breads. Once I got to the cafe, I ordered the banana pudding matcha latte. We sat on the bench outside to eat our bread and noticed that it tasted just a *little* like it had been sitting out for a while. I wouldn't describe it as stale, it just didn't have as soft a texture as we expected. However, it tasted absolutely delicious. I'd recommend getting both flavors if you can. The chili oil one wasn't spicy, in my opinion, it just had a kick of chili flavor. The banana pudding matcha latte was a little less successful. The pudding was great, but it just sat on top of the drink. When I mixed it into the matcha, it still wasn't coming through very strong and the drink tasted almost entirely of matcha. It was disappointing because I love banana so much. I think I'd be better off just ordering the banana pudding in the future. I'd like to come back here on a Saturday to see if the bread is a bit fresher, and I'd order the banana pudding rather than the latte.

Post…read morebaby I have aquired a huge sweet tooth, now i love the butter bun, chocolate walnut cookie, and the other sweet filled donuts (all good). Other savory options are brunch pastry and the jalapeno chedder biscuit. Love coming here to check out all the new flavors and see the display. They are like small pieces of art, how pretty they are. Staff is always so friendly and if you go back enough times, they greet you by name. Just wish they bring back the coffee cake.

I liked the texture, but the flavors didn't do it for me. Personally didn't taste the HK tea flavor. If I'm ever in the area again, I would give their sweet selection another try. Had my eye on the injeolmi and guava cheesecake one.

It's in a corner of a very cute gourmet food hall and had a good selection of goods left in mid-afternoon on a weekday. Service is also friendly and prompt. I had to get the kouign amann because I always get one wherever I can, and also picked up a plain croissant, currant scone, and panna cotta. The KA was decent; I would call this one a diet KA because they only put the sugar on one side so it was more like a brulee'd croissant. I also have to admit that, while this shaping is very attractive, the direction of the lamination makes eating this feel like shards in my mouth. However, flavor was excellent. The plain croissant is very plain. It's decent but I've had better. The scone and panna cotta, however, were delightful. Both had lovely soft textures and wonderful creamy flavors. The scone held up for two days and wasn't even a bit stale when I finally had it for breakfast. Highly recommend this tucked-away bakery in the Castro Valley!

I want to start off by saying that this is my first review for a non-gluten free place. I am being…read morere-tested for celiac disease and engaging in the "gluten challenge". Seven Hills Baking Co was my first stop as I haven't had sourdough since childhood. I got their classic sourdough loaf. Even though it wasn't warm anymore it was still amazing. It was quite hard to cut into with a serrated bread knife, which I'm not sure whether that's normal or abnormal for gluten sourdough. However, the inside was lovely and soft. Nice strong sour flavor, spongy dough that was almost moist (not at all dry). I want to note on the gluten free front that seven hills baking co offers a few items which they advertise to be gluten free. Though the ingredients may be gluten free, the items are baked in the same kitchen, the same oven, and then put side by side with the gluten in the display case. Furthermore I don't believe their ingredients are all certified gluten free. Therefore I do not recommend seven hills baking co for anybody with celiac disease. Do not buy your friend with a gluten allergy or celiac these items. There is most certainly cross contact.

So while sitting in the car, I decided to walk around the area for my snack but right across the way was SK Donuts. So off I go... Walking in, it's an old school vibe that serves more than just donuts. They have a huge variety of donuts to choose from; I was like a little kid again wanted to push my face against the glass counter (but couldn't since I'm over 6ft tall these days). After taking it all in, I opted for a dozen of their Cronut holes and 1/2 dozen of regular donut holes for my wife so we can portion out the carbs, LOL. Their cronuts are delicious and addictive! Soft and sweet (maybe just a little bit too sweet for my taste). The cronuts peel off like a croissant but has a nice chew like a donut. And the donut holes are soft and sweet with the right amount of chewiness like a regular raised donut even though they're bite sized. Looking forward to our next visit and our next donut here...

2nd time going on my day off and beginning my Labor Day weekend 2026…read more I had to try this bakery 2nd time, and bought few more of their brioche doughnuts, shiopan,and 1 shiopan banh mi. I know their brioche donut flavors are 9/10. I tried their shio pan pre-lunch. So good and coated with sesame seeds. I'm trying their banh mi served their shiopan. It's served with their own Bo',a Vietnamese mayo, pickled shaved daikon, cucumber and carrot salad, ham. It's so good because the shiopan has acrunchy exteriorbut the sea salt flavor cuts the richness, and tangy pickled flavors of the fillings. This sandwich is delicious, so good and amazing! Menu today is 5/5. Another thing about their shiopan is they perfected their own techniques of creating a baguette substitute and saviry bread vessel. I bought their banh mi, and was so curious and planned to eat it later. After eating a few bites, it is so good. Their bakeshop and café is still quaint, and tgey have outside seating for patrons. Just a quiet place to hangout or chat with friends, or have lunch. Love this bakeshop.

I got 2 plain and 2 filled churros and was quoted $20. When I checked my card statement, they charged me more without telling me about taxes or card fees.

The filling also wasn't anything special, it was fairly plain and artificial. Very unfortunate for the high price.

Highly recommend giving em a try if you haven't already! I opted to do pickup for these buns but they also offer delivery.
