Woodside Bakery & Cafe

Wow just wow..
I've had their challah before.. and was super excited to come check out this place after our hike.

I enjoyed the blueberry scone and the quiche.. they were just delicious and beyond perfect.

The scone was moist and a burst of flavors and the quiche was the best I've had in a while..

We are really lucky to have you in the area. Thank you for sharing your love and passion in baking.

Visited on Sunday morning. Wonderful selection of pastries, breads, big pies and little pies. Two friendly servers and places to sit. My cherry Danish was delicious with a lot of cherries. Just as good as I remembered from the 80’s. And the prices are reasonable too. $7.50 for a personal pie.

Quality items baked on the premises. Friendly and helpful service. Their raspberry chocolate Sacher Torte is world class!

Oh Yum! If you are near by, you should stop in! It’s my first time in and as I sit outside, enjoying every bite I have to share. This bakery has an amazing selection of delicious pastries, quiches, cookies, cake pops, and coffee. I tried the cinnamon roll, fruit bar(cherry) and French Roast…..All staff were very pleasant and helpful. This place is a gem !

Every Tuesday I have the privilege of working nearby woodside bakery. My day starts early and one of the reasons I never mind, is because I know I will stop by Woodside and continue my day with a smile. I try a new pastry every time I go and enjoy the service, friendliness of everyone who comes in and the conversation with others in the bakery.
Great small town bakery with delicious baked goods.

This is a must-visit bakery/cafe, down-to-earth yet posh in every way, from taste to the atmosphere they are trying to go for. The feeling is a blend between a wood-side town lodge and a Californian beach club. It feels traditional and modern at the same time.

The interior aside, let's talk about the bread and food. Cinnamon roll here is not your "cinnamon roll". It is a lump of chewy goodness drizzled with sweet cream chees. French toast isn't a "toast". It's a fluffy air-packed medium that melts away in your mouth. And I've never had such amazing potatoes... Not sure how they balanced the crispy and heartiness with perfect flavor. This place hit all the perfection with ever single dish. No complaints.

Now here was the issue: the server was reeking with snobbyness. She ignored (or forgot) our requests multiple times, whether it was hot sauce or a coffee refill. Didn't bother apologizing. And never checked-in with us. What was more odd was I felt like my table was the one that only suffered from this. Wasn't sure how that could be case because our table was on the path to all other tables. Even so, I cannot help but give 5 stars because it is just that good. I'll give the benefit of doubt for that one server who may have been having a bad day.

Will definitely return.

Very nice little neighborhood cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Happy to support small local businesses such as this as they do their best at what they do, especially given the neighboring competition. They never have waiting lines, and their display fridge is almost always full of fresh goodies. Try their baked sweets, pastries, muffins, croissants, pies, cinnamon rolls- all are pretty delicious and homely in taste, which is always preferred. The coffee is decent and they also have some tea's to choose from. This cafe is reasonably priced, try it out if youre in the area.

Jan and Mark of the Woodside Bakery & Cafe were wonderful to work with. We had an image for a naked cake in our mind that was very specific – simple, yet elegant. Jan was able to bring our vision to life. We provided her a couple of photos from Pinterest and the final product was better than we could have imagined. Jan was worried about how the cake would travel and hold up in the heat, so she assembled it onsite on the date of the wedding (with floral decorations and all). All said, the flavors were amazing. Jan even gave the cake a layer of lemon curd to give it an extra kick of lemon flavor; it was the best wedding cake we have ever had. Jan and Mark even brought a bucket of mixed berries to serve the cake with. We couldn’t be happier with the serve we received!

I have been coming here for years!
One of the few places that reminds me of European pastries !
Highly recommend!

I got off the highway to stop by Starbucks, but lucky me, I kept my eyes off my phone and saw the sign - Bakery & Cafe. I decided to walk in, and I’m so happy with my decision! The tasty pastries and delicious coffee are some of my best.

My first time here. Friendly service! I enjoyed the delicious pizza. High quality coffee and fresh blueberry muffin! It truly make my day! Thank you!

I hadn't been to the bakery in a long time but stopped in for a creamcheese Danish. It was SO YUMMY! Sure wish they were back in Woodside but glad their wonderful baked goods are still available and as tasty as always. Worth the drive or bike-ride to Sharon Heights.

Fresh, delicious pastries at reasonable prices. A neighborhood gem. Highly recommend!

Delicious! Full gluten-free pastry case and staff was knowledgeable about which items were vegan.

Cute local bakery with a wide variety of baked goods, both savory and sweet. They do run out of croissants by late morning it seems so better to get there earlier

This is an excellent bakery! Their desserts, pies, breads and other treats are all wonderful and nicely balanced. Drinks from the coffee bar are great too. One of our family favorites!!

I love Woodside! I recently moved to Menlo Park, and this is one of my favorite businesses in the area. It's a friendly atmosphere with delicious treats. I like to swing by and pick up a muffin on the way to work (the bran nut muffins are my favorite), but it's also a great place to meet a friend or bring a book and relax. There are a lot of regulars whom the employees know by name, which is really sweet.

Quaint neighborhood family owned bakery with down-to-earth vibe and delicious hand-made pastries baked fresh daily. Best way to start the day with a cappuccino, a danish and finish with our favorite, the fruit tart. Mmm, delicious!

Cozy European Bakery with delicious pastries, cakes, and coffee. I just got a tray of sweet flaky Cannolis to bring to a party and I couldn't be happier. Very friendly staff, a few tables inside and out if you want to munch down.
