Wow wow wow!!! Mike's Pastry Shop is hands down one of the best hidden gems I've been to! I won't…read morelie, I was a bit unsure of what to expect because I did read the reviews beforehand but I went without expectations and I truly do not understand why this pastry shop is under a 4. Here's my play-by-play: Parking: the parking is ample here however it is a bit compact (NOT the bakery's fault!). I went in 3 times to ensure I tried a good amount before making my decision on top of trying their variety of pastries it was also to ensure how the service would be, honestly, every time I went in the atmosphere was very nonchalant. Since this is a local business they don't have that over-nice overwhelming energy you'd get at corporate stores. Which I am more than happy with, the three ladies that helped me with my selections also bake the pastries I believe so it was great knowing the lovely individuals who put passion into these pastries. Taste overall: When I tell you that everything I tried was absolutely delicious. The only note I have is that these are traditional pastries so they tend to have a slightly drier texture (bit the extremely gooey and super moist texture like in manufactured pastries) these are truly amazing paired with a coffee as they soak up coffee nicely. If you are a raspberry fan please GET ALL THE RASPBERRY pastries they have! The raspberry flavor is very natural and homemade . On top of that the cannolis...don't get me started, these are truly in my top 3 cannoli places. The shell, filling, and chocolate were perfectly balanced, no notes. Will be returning for the cannolis and raspberry pastries. Definitely a must have and I am very sad we do not have a Mike's Pastry Shop in the Central Valley.

Very disappointed with my recent experience. First and last order I'll ever make here. Ordered a…read morecake for Mother's Day. Picked up the cake on Friday which was taped in a box. This was the fresh whip cream with strawberries. When we opened the box two days later Sunday morning there was mold on the strawberries. When messaged the business, I was met with defensiveness as it were my fault the cake had mold. The bakery had a chance to make it right but instead, chose the position to state their cakes are made fresh and any mold would be the customers fault by not refrigerating the cake. Even went so far to say, it's not mold but looks like whip cream. That's completely inaccurate. If I were to make assumptions, this fresh cake was not made on the day I picked it up. Highly disappointed on my first purchase and I will never come back again.

This place has the best croissants of all the bakeries in the bay area I've visited. The turkey paperjack croissants is addictive magic, I prefer it cold not warmed up.

So many good things here but those are my go-to recommendations. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
