14 Best Bakeries in San Jose and the South Bay Area | Eater SF

"Peters’ Bakery is the oldest family-owned bakery in Silicon Valley, having opened its San Jose location in 1936. The shop has since been passed down through the generations, and today, it has something for everyone — a wide range of breads, pastries, doughnuts, danishes, coffee cakes, eclairs, cookies, pies, and cakes. The star of the show is the burnt almond cake, which is especially popular among customers for its fluffy texture, crunchy toasted almond bits, and smooth, buttercream frosting. Visitors also frequently order custom cakes." - Cathy Park
