Sweet Bakery

My family’s absolute favorite is the cranberry orange muffin. Whenever I buy this, as soon as I put them down on the kitchen table, they disappear so fast. We’ve tried this at several other bakeries and Sweet Bakery beats them all hands down. I personally also love the lemon bars, carrot cake bars, cream cheese Danish and the list goes on. My mom and I were delighted to meet Douglas, the baker, one morning when we ate there. He shared his story about how most of what he makes are his Dad’s recipes. One can tell how passionate and dedicated he was about his work and his baked goodies. We’re very thankful and blessed that his bakery is so close to our home.

This is a great bakery. I loved everything Ive tried from here. Everything here tastes really good and fresh. And the owners are friendly and inviting. A must try!

This hidden gem bakery serves amazing sweets but don't sleep on their fresh baked bread sandwiches! The chicken salad sandwich came on the softest pillowy white bread, a layer of cream cheese, crushed cashews, lettuce, bean sprouts, and a huge serving of chicken salad. 10/10

Love getting delicious treats here. The macaroons are my favorite, chewy and moist. Staff is friendly. Small family business. Pleasant place to get a treat!

This review was a long time coming. My wife and I look forward to when we can treat ourselves on the road, and Sweet Bakery is always a place of comfort. I love their Mexican Weding cookies and the croissant are actually done right! We had a chance to meet the baker, Douglas, and it was delightful to hear how important the quality and freshness of their goods are, and we can definitely taste it. Thank you for serving the community!

I love their chocolate chip cookie with walnuts. We're always treated well at this cozy little bakery. We're from a town without a classic bakery so we go out of our way to go here. Breakfast sammies are good, too.

I really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately the baked goods especially the cookies are bland and flavorless. The peanut butter cookies don't even taste like peanut butter. The thumbprints are flavorless and floury. The bear claws lack almond flavor and espresso cannoli are really gross. The cherry turnovers are not bad. I wish I could give a better review hopefully they will get better.

Delicious baked goods. Chocolate Chip Cookies are soft and chewy. Lemon Bars are delicious. Located in the cute Clayton Station Shopping Center.

Stopped in for tea and a bagel while I work. So cute and clean with amazing cheese bagels! Friendly staff, and super fair pricing. I'll be back!

Walked in place was neat and clean with lots of options. Staff was nice and patient I got the cheesecake brownie. It tasted old and just not what I imagined.

Love Sweet Bakery! The food is fresh, made with care and the service is excellent. In the last year, I've had several of the different cookie types, pastries, have ordered custom cakes, and on occasion ordered a sandwich for lunch. Not one have I ever been disappointed! Everything is always tasty and fresh. It's a pleasure to pop-in in the morning and see the "regulars" having their morning coffee and socializing. The bakery is friendly open and accessible. Great place to order treats to gift or add to your own spread!

Huge shoutout to Sweet Bakery in the Clayton Station shopping center off Kirker Pass Rd. & Clayton Rd! I was throwing a 10am birthday party for my daughter and decided to do a breakfast spread rather than ordering pizza at 10am (that didn't sound appealing). I went in a few days before and spoke with the owner's son, Doug. He is awesome and has great customer service! I placed an order for a bunch of breakfast pastries, breakfast sandwiches and donuts and asked to have them ready at 9am. Saturday morning, I received a text from Doug that the order was ready. Let me tell you, all the food was delicious. It was fresh, packaged carefully and just so good. He even threw in some cookies for the kids. Don't sleep on this place, I highly recommend you check them out. I will be using them for any type of breakfast catering moving forward. They also make cakes and cupcakes too.

My favorite bakery we love this place best cookies and lemon bars in Clayton as well as breakfast sandwiches

Welp I got a $4 cupcake and once I got home it was so hard stiff definitely not fresh , also got a chocolate chip cookie that was good that's why I have two stars b

Great breakfast sandwiches, cold sandwiches, cookies, pastries, and drinks. Friendly staff. Clean. Reasonably priced.

Amazing pies, cookies, ice cream. Service is amazing. Ambience is very homey feel to it

Its been years , went back this week and was very disappointed with their pastries. The ruchelug cookies were $2 a piece and completely underbaked: i threw them all away they were so bad and they weren't cheap. The Danish was bad too. No more mocha cake which was my favorite. Sadly wont be back.

Came here recently to pick up a quick bite for breakfast. They offer made-to-order breakfast sandwiches where you can choose the meat, bread, cheese and it also includes egg. I got a sausage, cheddar, and egg on a plain bagel. It was hot and melty even by the time I got home and ate it. They also have a display case full of pastries and cakes. Nice spot for a quick bite.

Cute little hidden gem! The pastries are huge & generously priced. We tried the chocolate chip muffin, chocolate chip cookie, lemon bar and the croissant breakfast sandwiches. All was delicious!! The service was also great. They were extremely friendly and let us know that they bake the bread in house!!! We will be coming back :)

Great bakery, excellent service, right here in Clayton! Several tables to enjoy the food, nice and clean.

This spot is fantastic! We got some wonderful pastries for an excellent prize. The young man working there was so helpful and kind. I will return again!

The best cinnamon rolls in CoCo County! You don't even have to heat them up to enjoy it. The dough is so light, yet has the perfect chew to it, with plenty of cinnamon flavor throughout. The homemade icing is delightful! The staff always greets you with a smile.

This place is so good! I personally think the pastries are better than Starbucks! I got the croissant sandwich/ croissant/ and chocolate chip cookie and it was sooo good definitely will be coming back

Came here on a weekend morning for some snacks and got an avocado sandwich, almond and chocolate croissant. Really liked how they made the sandwich with fresh ingredients and I got to choose the same. The croissants were really delicious as well. So looking forward to trying more of this bakery as we are moving to this neighborhood!

They have really good cookies here! But their sandwiches are lacking flavor, and for a bakery, the bread was dry by 1pm. This is very similar to Sweet Affair but SA has that edge of spice that this just doesn't have. The location is nice, easy parking, and the service was helpful. But the store is a bit dingy and dated and the food needed some help. But the cookies were the best part!

My favorite spot! I love their deserts and sandwiches! staff is always friendly. Their turkey sandwich and white chocolate cookie are my perfect lunch.

They have the best and biggest muffins!!! My Job has a client who always brings in a box for our Service Department!! I had a craving , got out of bed and headed to Clayton to get a few before they sold out!!

Really good fresh bakery! They make everything from scratch. Best homemade almond poppy seed muffin I've ever had. My husband said they have the best breakfast sandwiches as well. They crack and cook the egg fresh while you wait for your sandwich to be made. Definitely worth the small wait! This place is a must try if you're a breakfast sandwich fan, muffin or pastry fan. Oh and the best fresh, huge bear claws!!

Ok so I have been here about five times since the end of June. I'm not coming back. First, I ordered a mini german chocolate cake for my mom's birthday. It was about $15-20 and it was terrible. Safeway has better cakes and they're frozen. But I figured it was a fail because it wasn't an item on the menu. I came a few other times because I like this apricots pastry they have there, but the pieces are not even the length of my thumb and they charge about $1.50 each. But it's my favorite thing to eat there. Last weekend, I saw some cookies and I could tell just by the look of them they were made that day, but $2.00 a piece for medium sized cookie. Whole foods has very large individually wrapped cookies for the same price. Today, I went and I could tell the cookies weren't fresh, but I asked and she yes. That was a lie. I can taste the refrigeration of other savory foods in this cookie. My purchase total is never less than $10, for three cookies and 2 tiny pieces of pastry, and its cash only, so I've had to walk over to walgreens a few times, buy something for nothing just to get cash back. So I'm done with them.

the sandwiches are fantastic! love this chicken salad sandwich! their croissants are so good! and cookies! but they did run out of turkey!

Best turkey sandwich I've ever had! The cranberry sauce and cream cheese are a great touch.

I really love going to this bakery they have great sandwiches and lots of yummy treats. Staff is really nice and fast. And really a good coffee.

I can't really talk down on the food, the quality is good and always has been, the problem is the staff. Consistently rude and not very knowledgeable. Again, no problem with the food, just crappy staff. Sucks cause we really wanted to live this place.

Typical neighborhood bakery lots of items to choose from though giant thumbprint cookies were ok a few other things looked worth trying and service was very good friendly and nice

So freaking rude!!!!! First time there, and I won't be back. The manager was so freaking rude. I went in to order a birthday cake for the next day and the manager got all pissy that I didn't call two days in advance because their decorator wasn't there, I would've bought what they had there in the display case but the manager had such a bad attitude I thought just forget it. You know, I've been a chef for about 30 years it's really sad to see that service has gone downhill. not even on my worst day Would I be treating a guest like they were bugging me, service is everything. anyway, I guess I'll just get my birthday cake at Safeway. Happy birthday to me. Chef John.

I tried sweet bakery during my lunch break one day. I got a chicken salad sandwich add tomatoes. Unfortunately they did not add tomatoes and I didn't notice till I was back at work. It was a bit of a bummer. They also only accept cash so make sure you have some on hand if you are going. My sandwich was big in size and since I called and placed my order I got a cookie as well. The bread was nice and fresh. The cookie was ok. I think I paid about $9 for my sandwich. It was pretty tasty so I will probably try again another time. I'll just be sure to double check that I have my tomatoe on and that my sandwich is made as requested.

I simply asked the price of my breakfast because I thought he charged me incorrectly. I paused and said fine , I'll pay twelve dollars cash for your little crappy greasy egg sandwich . Terrible croissants FYI.

Ran to Safeway in the morning and thought I'd stop by bakery for a blueberry muffin. The bakery was very clean, service was great, and the blueberry muffin was one of the best. I also had ordered a bagel breakfast sandwich, bagel was very soft even after being toasted, and sandwich overall was great! Highly recommend for a bakery/breakfast stop!

This place is a hidden gem. Stopped in to get a holiday pie in November, it was outstanding. I've been going there since. Their chocolate fudge cake is the best we've ever had. Staff is so friendly and they are always well stocked. This bakery is a one of the best.

Great bakery! I've been coming here since I was a child, staff is always friendly and the baked goods are fantastic.

Danish was so so. Nothing great and pity it did not make up for a very discourteous/rude sales girl that I experienced. I called before going to ask whether they had danish and as I was asking, she replied yes and when I asked what kind and so on, she abruptly closed the phone on me. I called back and she wud lift and close the phone. I still went to the store to get the danish and also to say my piece. In the beginning she denied she was the one and later started giving nonsense excuses. This type shud be nowhere near serving customers. Terrible!

Sweet Bakery used to be awesome. Today the pastries were stale at 8:30am. The bear claws don't taste like almond. The apple fritters have the smell and taste of dirty oil. I am very disappointed and will never go back!

I love sweet bakery! The most delicious muffins ever. Really everything is good. Thanks for the sweet treats, Sweet Bakery!

Best breakfast sandwich in the East Bay. The secret is the thick cut bacon and perfectly toasted croissant. Service is excellent too. Baked goods are well stocked and great as well. Can't go wrong.

I ordered a layer cake for my son's birthday from Sweet Bakery. It was horrible! The cake was so dry it was inedible and there was no frosting between the layers. It was extremely disappointing. I called back to speak with manager who was always "unavaliable." Not only is the baked goods unacceptable - customer service is totally lacking.

This is one of my favorite places to eat. They have an amazing turkey and cranberry sandwich (I love it on whole grain bread- the nuts on the huge slices of bread are perfect!) and walnut chocolate chip cookies that I pick up every time, and I my mom loves their lemon bars- she is hard to please and doesn't ask me for much at all, but she will request these lemon bars. Very cute location and the owner is there pretty often. He is a very good man and incredibly attentive and polite. There are some places I enjoy giving my money to, and this is one. I was happy to see it make it through the worst of the pandemic. I have tried just about all the pastries so I would say their huge croissants, walnut chocolate chip, bear claws, and wedding cookies have to be my favorites, but I will be trying their cakes very soon!

Wow! I just ate the best Turkey sandwich I have ever had. I split it with my friend!! Sweet ladies....

I love this bakery! Their pastries are delicious. I recently celebrated birthdays with my husband and my son and ordered 4 dozen cupcakes for our party. I ordered 1 dozen of each type they offered. They were fresh baked and delicious. Thank you Sweet Bakery!

Best egg salad sandwich I have every had! Chocolate chip cookies are delicious! Staff is super friendly. Feels like a friends house!

Omg they have the best turkey sandwich ever!!! Came here on a Thursday with my boyfriend. He ordered a veggie sandwich on a multigrain whole wheat bread, it came with lots of sprout and avocado, and there were hidden pumpkin seeds OMG so goooooood! He devoured that sandwich in 3 minutes and asked for another one with extra pickles. He was so full he couldn't even walk out the shop. I got the turkey sandwich and cranberry sauce on fresh baked multi grain whole wheat (they make their break in house) omg I literally swallowed everything in one bite. The staff here are very friendly and easy going. It was my birthday, and we got a red velvet cupcake, they went above and beyond and found me a candle. My boyfriend has no vocal so the staff here sang happy birthday with him to me. I feel so special will definitely return. P.S. they have really good lemon bar and almond brittle. Btw their prices are reasonable.

My review is for the sandwiches and not other baked goods. My sandwich is amazing! The bread is soft and thick, plenty of toppings evenly distributed. I've never had a bad sandwich here. The lady behind the counter was very nice and made my sandwich very fast. I believe I also heard her right when she said you get a free drink with a sandwich on Mondays and Tuesdays. Awesome! I grew up in Clayton and can say that the sandwiches have been consistently good for years!

The food here is always amazing and the service is the best. Every worker there is kind and makes you feel important as they take your order. Will definitely be back.

Ew. Never tried this place, so we bought a cake here today for my mother in law's birthday. Brought it home and let her cut into it.. we both stared in at it at the weird blue spots in the white cake, trying to figure out what it was. MOLD. In the middle of the cake. How does this even happen?! Shouldn't cakes be fresh!? Gross. We won't be trying any baked goods here ever again.

Love the food here so it's a shame the customer service is so terrible now. Placed a phone order today and the girl who answered was super rude. Plus, they only take cash? Who carries cash anymore? Very inconvenient for their customers. And probably because they are trying to save money on credit card transactions. Ridiculous. I wonder how much business they have lost because of that. We will make the longer trek down to Sweet Affair in WC.

Don't deny me the ability to pay card then allow the person right behind me to pay with hers. I won't be back. This "pick and choose" behavior is ridiculous. I don't care if it's management's decision or the person taking payment, but get your sh** together.

Sweet Bakery has donuts/muffins, pastries, sammies, crossaints listed. not all seen.. small counter. not many tables for sitdown. eats: cheese danish(2.5) -at least a day old, after a few bites the flavor came thru. drink: farmers hawaiian hazelnut(1.8) -hazelnut yes. no hawaiian tasted . just average crumbs: -pricey. no doubt cause of the rent.

Lawd knows I did not need anything sweet! I really didn't but my sweet tooth was tapping on my taste buds so I had to do it. I stopped in at Sweet Bakery for something, anything sweet. The friendly cashier asked what I would like and I told her I decided on the apricot danish. That chick then tells me "they are buy one get one free, so what else would you like?". Damn her! I was forced to get the cheese danish as well. The pastry, doughnuts, muffins and bagels are all buy 1 get 1 after 4pm. They are always friendly and they have great sandwiches too.
