Rosalind Bakery

Stopped by because my usual spot (Perfect Pour Cafe) in Pacifica was closed. It was a cute spot with lots of seating, parking, and bathrooms. We got some coffee and pastries. The coffee was okay-I didn’t hate it, but I wouldn’t order Vietnamese coffee here again, but I did like their cappuccino. The pastries were delicious! We tried their cinnamon morning roll and a chocolate chip cookie. I also ordered a piece of pizza and asked if they can warm it up (which was an awkward interaction for me because the service was not the best), but the pizza was delicious. My pizza did have sesame seeds which was a bit of a surprise. Overall, I think it was a good place for baked goodies.

I was first introduced to this place from my friend. She was raving about their millet muffins. I've never had one before, and I thought it sounded interesting. Since then, I've had it a bunch of times and just recently had it warm, right out of the oven... it's so good! It has that nutty crunch without being a nut. The place is cute. It's a nice place to sit and catch up with friends. There's seating outdoors too, so you can bring your furry friends. I haven't had their coffee, but my friend liked their cappuccino. I'll have to try their other pastries and menu items next time.

I took a class at the mill in San Francisco and they recommended Rosalind bakery. My friend and I ordered a bunch of breads. We had croissant and chocolate croissant, savory danish and a blue corn cookie. Everything was so delicious and their coffee was good too had a good time chatting with the owner and was impressed by how he started the business out of passion. I definitely recommend this place to everyone in the Bay Area. It’s a very chill vibe and fun place to have breakfast because you get to see how people work in a bakery and enjoy the view from Pacifica.

Excellent coffee shop/bakery i’ve been stopping by there almost every time I’m in that neighborhood for coffee and pastry, and a loaf of bread I love the French bread baguette they might charge a little more, but they make excellent bread plus take a good look at the neighborhood you are in . They have a really nice shop! and I believe they have another location at Embarcadero four San Francisco

Oh man, I'm broken, I'm split, I'm divided, I'm crushed, I'm polarized. What's not to like about a bakery that's a 15 minute walk along the Pacifica cliffs? A beautiful way to start your day, that it is, my friend. A place where friendly waiters with heart framed glasses await your order and shower you with friendly ease as you make eye contact. A resting spot that exudes the industrialism of your local baker is a gentle reminder that while you were sleeping, squinting your eyes open for another gorgeous day on the Coast, here the busy workers were getting ready to get you ready. I recently moved to the area and came to buy bread on a Sunday: a microdough, considering there's only one stomach at my new place. Some comments here complain that the crust was burnt and hard, and the inside lacked sourdough-ness. I beg to disagree. My crust was perfect as pictured. And it's true the flavor was not overflowing with sour notes, and that worked for me. My eye caught a lonesome kouign-amann next to the cash register. I'm a sucker for kouign-amann, which also makes me a bit of a connoisseur. I was hesitant because of the yellowish dot but figured that maybe it's just an adventurous spin on the real thing. Oh how my heart sank! Sacrilege! This is no adventure, this is bringing the honorable kouign-amann down to donut hell! Cream filling! Oh my ... Please rename the "thing" or have a real, true to its origin, kouign-amann in addition. But this ... Non, mais alors quel gâchis ! Last word: it's a bit pricey.

My favorite bakery in Pacifica thus far. Their hearty breads are EXCELLENT, and their pastries are superb… my favorites are the kouign-aman and the almond croissant. Can’t wait to try more.

Excellent pastries and a great baguette to take to the beach. Casual/ industrial environment with rock music playing in the background and skateboards on the walls.

I found this place thanks to the reviews and I loved it. I had a mushroom pizza bread for brunch, which was delicious, very filling and only about $7! I also shared a chocolate croissant because I couldn’t leave without trying the pastries and it was also yummy. They have a bunch of caffeinated and non-caffeinated drinks. I drank a capuchino and it was good. The atmosphere is nice, and it has seating options both inside and outside (in front of the parking lot). The is music a bit loud for working and I wanted to dance to the cumbias they were playing haha. It gets pretty busy around lunch time during weekdays, but most people didn’t dine in. The service was great, and they have clean restrooms. I can’t wait to go back and try more pastries and bread.

We came here because a specific baker/chef was doing a sandwich popup, but of course we had to order some of their baked goods as well. We came later in the day so they were already out of some of the more classic pastry options, but we were still able to order a sourdough round, chocolate chip cookie, croissant, and a slice of pizza. They had quite the pizza selection, I counted 7 different flavors while we were in, and a unique variety of sourdough, including one with beets and carrots, and another with olives and citrus. We ended up going with the classic sourdough, but will absolutely try one of the fun flavors next time. For pizza we got the shroomy, and it was delicious, though it was a tough call because they all looked good. I would definitely come back here and try some of the other pizza flavors. The chocolate chip cookie and croissant were both delicious, but had a unique flavor to them. I couldn't pinpoint what it was, but the croissant almost tasted like it was made with a sourdough, and the cookie maybe had some cornmeal? Not sure what exactly it was, but I still enjoyed each and appreciate that they were a little bit different than what I normally get.

When it comes to bakeries in the Pacifica area, it's hard to find something better than Rosalind Bakery. Service is just okay and parking is easy to find. The interior is also pretty nice. There is some limited seating, but it's a cozy spot to hang out in. Their pastries are already set out so it's a quick grab and go experience for me. I recently odered: - Almond Croissant ($7) - Plain Croissant ($6) - Chocolate Croissant ($6.25) - Blue Corn Cookie ($3) To avoid yapping too much, the croissants are all very similar in terms of texture and taste overall. Very soft and flaky outside. Highly recommend going back home to toast or air fry the croissants so you can really get the crispy texture and turns the croissants from a 7/10 to a 9/10. I will say the chocolate croissant needs more chocolate, but the almond croissant was perfect. The blue corn cookie was also very interesting to me just looking at the name and the color. To be honest it just tastes like cornbread in cookie form, but I love cornbread so I enjoyed this. It also wasn't crumbly like cornbread where it might fall apart. I had a solid experience coming to Rosalind so I would be happy coming back in the future if I'm ever in Pacifica.

I came here a few years ago and forgot to leave a review! Went back again today and finally getting around to it. Let me start by saying the staff are so kind. You really feel like a local coming here. The bread is divine! They're into good crispy crust and soft inside. We got breakfast sandwiches that were really good. One qualm was that we both asked for over hard/scrambled eggs and they both came runny. I asked them to remake mine as I can't currently eat runny eggs and they were more than willing and apologetic. The remade sandwich was *chefs kiss*. We also got the almond croissant which had such a great spread on it and toasted almonds on top. We also tried a blueberry muffin top thing that they gave us with the fixed sandwich. I'll always come back to Rosalind's!

Came here for only a loaf of bread but left with a slice of pizza, croissant, sandwich, cookies, and three other baked goods. Once I walked in, I couldn't help myself and needed to try it all. There was a short line, and it went quick. The employees were very nice and heated up the slice for me. There are a couple of tables to have your goodies at, and the area was clean with cute decor. The pizza was good, but the breads we bought, the cinnamon roll, and cookie were definitely the stars here. Definitely coming back for those.

Taking a moment to appreciate this beautiful croissant! It was delightful. Flaky, moist, crisp on the outside. My friend purchased their baguette and we could tell how high quality it was--it made a wonderful crunch and we could tell that the inside was soft. We came close to closing and had regrets that we didn't get out of the house earlier to see what other beautiful pastries they had. We must visit again!

Rosalind is the premier bakery for breads and pastries in the Pacifica area, and a must-visit for any folks searching for great breakfast or lunch items while cruising in the northern coastal part of hwy 1. My family and I frequently buy the baguettes here. It's got a perfect sourdough flavor coupled with a satisfying outer crunch, allowing it to pair perfectly with soups, salads, or buy itself. The pastries here are delicious although can be a bit smaller compared to others in the bay. Service here is quick and most of all there aren't any huge lines! I can't help but think it's underrated given the location but Rosalind 's has great baked goods even compared amongst the rest of the bay area. If you have time you can even stay to sit and dine indoors or if you enjoy the cool fog of Pacifica, you can grab an outdoor table and bring your pets as well.

I've only got baked goods here from the app and for the most part everything has been good. The cinnamon roll is humongous and not overly sweet. You can easily share with 2-3 ppl. The loaf was a bit too seedy. The chocolate chip cookie was great though. Plenty of parking in the lot Staff are always quick to assist and nice.

My boyfriend and I were in the area, so we decided to stop by this bakery. We got two butter croissants ($6 ea), one chocolate croissant ($6.25), and one ham & cheese croissant ($7). We came around 2pm, so it seems like the croissants have been sitting out. We tried one of the butter croissants after we got into the car. It was flaky and slightly buttery. It was good, but I'm not sure if it was $6 good. Maybe it would've been better warmed up? I brought the other butter croissant and the chocolate croissant home for my family to try. I put them in the toaster oven to warm up. They were still very flaky and soft in the middle. They were good, but again, not sure if they're worth the price point. After reading the reviews, it seems like their bread is really good. If I'm ever in the area again in the future, I would come back to try their bread.

Best almond croissant I have ever eaten ( and believe me I have had my share)! I would drive from the South Bay every weekend!!

Finally tried some bread here. A round with green olives. Toasted up excellent. Definitely going to stick to the breads here!

I've reviewed this place before, and I stand by their chocolate chip cookie and ham and cheese croissant. Both are beautifully made. The cookie is crispy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside with lots of browned butter, flaky salt and thick chocolate. You can tell they know how to make their cookies, and worth the $3. The ham and cheese croissant is made from sourdough and gives it a nice additional flavor.

Everything in here looked and smelled so delicious, it was hard to refrain from getting everything. Epic selection of different breads and pizzas. Lovely selection of toasts, pastries, and sandwiches. They've got a nice election of Cafe drinks, and even wine and beer! The staff is super friendly and is great at making recommendations. I got the heirloom tomato toast, it was absolutely delicious with heirloom tomatoes in season. They used a very nice and thick slice of sourdough bread for the toast. There is ample seating indoors, and it's bright and warm inside :) can't wait to stop by next time for another freshly baked treat!

What a cozy little place! We had great service and enjoyed our goodies on Saturday morning. It was packed and people were lined up to get in! Musicians were setting up but we didn't get a chance to listen in. We'll be back the next time we're in the area!

I paid $10 for a cinnamon roll & it was amazing! First off, that roll was Huge. It nearly was the size of the large carryout box. Second, it's a unique tasting roll. The icing is cream cheese based, while the dough was moist and crunchy where it matters ;) easily feeds 2-3 people per roll! Pizza slices are big portions too. Hawaiian was ok, but the potato was heavenly. Glad this place is walking distance to the ocean too, great food and nice outdoor views. Highly recommend!

Yes Yes Yes So Good I buy the products in Pescadero but they are from this bakery. Cookies bomb as well. Not to be missed

They make delicious sourdough bread, as well as other very good baked goods. It is set up like a cafe, so you can get coffee etc. In addition, on Friday mornings from 10-12 noon you can listen to a very good live jazz ensemble

My partner brought back a few pastries from this bakery, and yum! The croissant is so buttery, with a nutty aftertaste, and the outside is so flaky! Only thing I noticed was that the croissant was hollow in the middle, so not much breading in it. We also tried a savory danish, and it was delish! The danish was also flaky and crunchy, and pretty buttery. I enjoyed the onion and Brie cheese combo- not super oniony but just enough for that flavor boost! After looking at all the other pictures, I'd want to visit and try their specialized toasts and pizzas!

my favorite bakery- you can't go wrong with anything from here. the coffee is also really good.

I always passed by here every time I came to grand hotpot and today I finally had a chance to try their iced vanilla latte w/ oat milk! Stopped by here after a hike at Mussle Rock and left very satisfied. Coffee tasted super rich and creamy with a perfect balance between coffee and milk. Definitely a perfect taste if you're a coffee connoisseur :)

Delicious little local bakery shop! We stopped by here on a whim and did not regret our decision. The pastries were super fresh and flaky, though I can imagine them not being so if you came later in the day. I did see some day old pastries on sale, but I think if you're looking for a croissant, you're better off paying a bit more for a fresh one. 1. Chocolate croissant - 9/10. Super crispy and flaky with a good amount of chocolate inside. I find that a lot of places only give you a flake of chocolate, but Rosalind actually gives you a decent portion of chocolate. 2. Ham and cheese croissant - 8/10. I'm usually not a fan of ham and cheese croissants, but this one was actually tasty! I still prefer the chocolate, but I decided to try this out given how tasty it looked. Definitely recommend this one if you're more of a savory person.

Needed to find a spot to actually "work" during our trip. If the request is for a short stop like this, I usually search, Coffee. This small town bakery pulled up and just happens to be my daughter's name!!! In love with it before I even seen it. It was definitely not a secret. Long lines that went quickly, but allowed you to gaze at all the choices. It was mid morning and they had sold out of some of their customer favorites, which didn't bother us since we hadn't tried them, but made others scold their own selves for being late to arrive. On this late morning/brunch they had cooked up these amazing smelling pizzas, that pretty much everyone was purchasing. I had already eaten a large breakfast elsewhere, so I stuck with my order of a small coffee and a chocolate croissant. Both delicious and perfectly done. You can tell the employees enjoy what they do and take pride in it. It was well run, well organized and super clean. If I lived even a tiny bit closer, this would easily become my most frequented stop.

My first experience of this bakery was at the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival. They were selling pumpkin pie. It was very good! This prompted me to visit their actual bakery. About a year later I did. It was at the end of the day and not much was there. So I go back again, and buy day old bread and a pastry. Prices are high! Keeps me from buying more items. I go back again for another base line on their bread, the previous time the girl talked me into the longer bread, and it was too dry for me. Third time I finally get a round loaf. The guy tells me their slicer is broken, so I take it anyways. All in all, I'm not in love with their product because it didn't wow my pallet. Just the annual pumpkin pie. Let my loaf of bread journey continue.

Have you ever wanted to spend $15 on a loaf of bread? You've found your dream in Rosalind Bakery. I love this place, but the price for loafs of bread is higher than almost anywhere I have ever seen even in Embarcadero San Francisco. All their other items are well priced. The rent can't be that high in a run down shopping center on Pacifica.

Bread is the star; sandwiches, croissant, sandwiches and wait times leave much to be desired. Even pre-ordering (an hr in advance), expect a wait in line. Sandwiches and croissant were very carb heavy, not balanced. I'll still be coming back for the bread, especially the Sesame Rye. PS I also appreciate they sell a smaller loaf and yesterday's breads that didn't sell for a reduced price. Those seem to sell fast so come in the morning.

First time here, I bought 4 items and spent over $30.00, wow very pricey for ok baked goods. For me, I don't think the prices merits a second visit. I have patronized other bakeries that were better and cheaper.

A hidden gem in Pacifica, Rosalind Bakery has never disappointed. The baked goods, pizza, and coffee are always amazing and fresh. The vibe inside the cafe feels homey, and there are usually plenty of places to sit. I'd say whether you're visiting Pacifica or are a local, this is the type of place you should come to as often as you can.

Nice cookies; tasty and good balance of sweetness/saltiness; friendly staff; nice layout.

Great bakery and amazing pastries and bread We also has the hoagie sandwich and it was huge and messy in the best way possible There's a bit of a wait especially if they're busy but it's super worth it No indoor seating but there are tables right out front You can see the bakery in the works in the back We always order at least 2 baguettes and they never make it home because we would be ripping them and eating it as soon as we get them

Not sure why it's taken me this long to visit Rosalind Bakery, but finally I've found the perfect place close to home for an authentic and heart sourdough loaf. Crispy exterior, soft interior... BEAUTIFUL CRUMB AND ALL THE HOLES!!!!!! Absolute perfection. Best know that I'll be coming here at least once a week for my daily bread.

I just love the Coastside Sourdough loaf at Rosalind. It's perfect paired with cheese and so delicious warmed up with butter. Their almond croissants are huge and the almond filling is rich and creamy. This time, we tried their chocolate chip cookies and their blue cornmeal cookies. The chocolate chip cookies are huge, and full of chocolate chips and they were still chewy after a car ride to our party. I had never heard of blue cornmeal cookies but my son said they were good so we tried them. They were delicious and chewy and definitely blue. If you love cornbread, you will love these cookies, slightly sweet and delicious. Shout out to Leilani Kaea who is the bakery general manager. I originally ordered the blue cornmeal cookies and she wrote me that she was out of blue cornmeal so had to substitute with more chocolate chip. Well, an order of the blue cornmeal came in before the end of the week and Leilani was able to include the cornmeal cookies in my order. Thank you Leilani !!!

So yummy! I love coming here. I make it my point to come to this bakery every time I am in town. It is SO good. I buy about 3-4 loafs and then freeze whatever I can't finish and then toast it when needed. Also love making my croutons with this bread. The bakers here are so friendly and clearly love what they do. Everyone is so eager to help and share their creations with you. A bit expensive compared to the grocery store but honestly SO WORTH!! Come early. 10/10 Great food Great staff Tons of parking Quality Ps try the bakers special loaf (changes daily?)

One of my favorite bakeries when I'm in Pacifica! I tried their chocolate croissant and ham and cheese croissant this time. The chocolate croissant was my favorite!!! So light and flaky :) I love the ambiance and open look of the bakery so you can see what everyone is working on in the back!

Love this place! The sourdough is full of flavor. The almond croissant is so flaky and plenty of filling. The cinnamon roll has taught me that I've never truly had a cinnamon roll before in my life until I ate Rosalind's cinnamon roll.

I haven't been to the actual bakery but they had a pop up at the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival last weekend and the pumpkin muffin was delicious! I bought 4 of them and they did not go to waste! I see all the awesome reviews and I am definitely going to stop here when I'm in Pacifica next time!

Great little bakery in Pacifica. Line moved quick on a Saturday! The cinnamon rolls are huge! The ham and cheese was good but not my favorite. On the morning we went they had live music which was a pleasant surprise. Overall a great experience

Worth worth ... we tried sourdough bread and plain croissants.. next time will try other items also

Love this bakery for its creative breads and pastries--and good vegan options (olive oil poppy cake and walnut cranberry loaf are both delicious!) Staff is friendly and helpful--Donya and Daniela have both been super friendly and helpful making my trips in pleasant experiences. Highly recommend this place for a sweet treat or good bread.

Great local bakery with small town sevice. I like carbs. It's quick, easy, and convenient. When I need bread, crossaint, a sandwich, a bakery item, if I'm in town I'll swing by here. They have all your carb needs here. Including dessert items such as cinnamon rolls and brownies. Everything is fresh and reasonably priced and I feel better going with a local bakery like this one over a major chain store like Safeway for baked goods.

I like their bread and when I'm in Pacifica- I make sure to stop by and see what's left for the day BUT... the girl who works behind the counter - brown hair - with an attitude that she doesn't give a Sheet - at night is a total jerk! She overcharged me and then acted as if I was stealing from her. Big attitude for a twit who works behind a counter. Better places in the city to get bread.

We really loved Rosalind and would often come here on the weekends since we live nearby. We noticed the price hike and now a baguette is $7 and cinnamon roll is $10. We rarely go now because the price is crazy, patisseries/bakeries in SF are way cheaper. When we did go today (3/5 at around 1pm), the cashier was super rude and unhelpful. She had an attitude and did not seem to care. I used to think the staff was friendly but she completely changed my opinion of this establishment. I hope they can come around, decrease their prices and hire better staff! This used to be a neighborhood gem but I'm not sure what happened.

The chocolate croissant and the regular croissant were not good. Their prices are ridiculous for the lackluster croissants. I'd rather drive out to the city for better croissants. Their baguettes were decent. The service was sooo slow. They need to hire another person to pack the pastries. I would not recommend.

Delicious bread and baked goods. Courteous staff. Clean and welcoming. Expensive? It's the Bay Area Coast...so cost of everything is high here. We're big fans of will be back often.

Don't know where this gem has been hiding in all 4 decades of my Daly City life. It's the best bakery in town and I love how it's so accessible in the Manor plaza area where there's virtually unlimited parking space. I'm a fan of the huge Coastside sourdough loaf (of which saddens me to realize that I am lacking a proper LONG bread knife) but also their assortment of breakfast items like the egg sandwich and scones. Wishlist item: toffeedoodle cookies. As of now, looks like you can only add them on to an existing order if you're lucky. So disappointed I missed out on the full box during Thanksgiving. Dear Rosalind crew: PLEASE make your toffeedoodles easier to buy in bulk : ) xo, Michelle

Rosalind Bakery though maybe not ideal for outdoor dining it is a good option for takeout. Hearty loafs, plus a nice mix of Pastries are offered, I opted for a loaf and 2 muffins. The Cranberry Orange Muffin had delightful tart notes from the Cranberries, as for the Banana Nut, it lacked any noticeable nuts, and was heavily spiced but still enjoyable. I have yet to slice the loaf but it's very substantial with a rustic crust, I'm looking forward to trying it. Update : tried the Walnut Sourdough Bread, it's really good As for the location it's easy to access, there is ample parking, and my interaction with the staff was very pleasant. I would go back.

Heavenly! I had the best cinnamon roll ever here. It was humongous and delicious. It had such a complex caramelized flavor and was perfectly flaky. Also had a ham sandwich that had Italian dressing on the leaves. Just incredible. I will definitely be back.

Sesame rye loaf and Coastside sourdough and wonderful. The cinnamon rolls haunt your dreams they are so good.

So tbh Rosalind Bakery is extremely expensive and overall their baked goods are not that good, especially for the price. I tried over 3x and tasted many of their products from the $6 cookies, to $12 pimento cheese sandwich, to their focaccia breads and they all tasted bland or just OK. It's a nice hipster environment with live bands playing on the weekends but I have to give them a thumbs down. Mazzeti's on the other side of the freeway is more of an old school bakery. Products not that much better, but at least it's more reasonably priced. So overall buyer beware. It's overall preference I suppose.

Excellent pizza slices. The giant sourdough loaf is convincingly tangy. They serve the best savory, flakey and sweet pastries - Best in the Bay! Try the $10 frosted cinnamon rolls - wow! Worth the drive.

It's sad to have to leave a negative review of this place as my family and I are locals in Pacifica and have been loyal customers of the Rosalind bakery ever since it opened. The staff are extremely professional, friendly, and kind with one major toxic exception: the food and drinks manager (Donya). She was so rude and inappropriate to me that I do not feel comfortable going back. She may be skilled in managing food and drinks, but her customer service and interpersonal skills are terrible. I scrolled through prior reviews and was interested to see that multiple people have had negative experiences with this individual. I hope the owners will realize this issue and move her to a position that doesn't involve customer service where she can't continuously offend people and disrupt the otherwise awesome vibe!
