Bakeries in Oakland

Bakeries help with everyday breads and pastries, plus custom orders for birthdays, celebrations and weddings. Many offer bagels, croissants, pain au chocolat, cinnamon rolls, cookies and layer or wedding cakes, though menus vary from shop to shop. Before you choose a bakery in Oakland, ask whether they make custom cakes in the size and flavor you need, and how far ahead they want orders. For special occasions, book early and ask for a tasting or a photo of past work, especially for wedding cakes, since popular dates fill up fast.
