This is a great place for coffee and sharing your favorite desserts. Our friend could not have sweets so he opted for a Turkish coffee and we chose various treats for the table and take home. The decaf latte was out first, it was great with the raisin cookies (perfectly crisp and chewy at the same time) and pear almond tart (great almond flavor). The Turkish coffee was a fun taste, the coffee grinds at the bottom reminded me of "cowboy coffee." We took home a box of mixed cookies for one household as well as a small fruit tart for another household. There are tables outside and a couple inside to enjoy your treats. Service is friendly and efficient.
I used to come here often when this place was under the name of Bijan bakery. I noticed this place is now under new ownership and thought they no longer sell the usual goodies anymore. I just visited them last Saturday and they still sell the all the goodies they used to sell under the previous owner. Man their cookies, cakes and other stuffs are so good. You need to try this place!!
My first Turkish coffee in the morning in the Bay Area. Living here for most of my life I had to try. Along with an Almond Croissant. It took a long minute to prepare but was smooth and lively. Reminds me of an espresso , but different in someway. Comment what I’m missing in words while I enjoy life’s simple experiences . 5-17-23. As always , post wherever your journey takes you. Btw the barista, kind and thoughtful. I got to the bottom of the coffee and silky grains at the bottom-so wonderful experience.
I absolutely love the pastries and cakes at this bakery! Their burnt almond cake is my all-time favorite. The flavors are exquisite, and the quality is top-notch. A must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth!

I don't know when change of ownership occurred but the customer service has taken a level up and is much better now. People there were friendlier, kinder, humbler and more attentive. The lady even asked my opinion of my latte. It felt nice to be valued.
Comparing to the grumpiness, offensiveness, and carelessness in the former Bijan's reign, this is definitely a fresh start and I hope they'll keep up the good work.
Great service aside, the first pastry I tried, after being absent for many years (I didn't go because of the above-said store-wide Bijan attitude), was not as expected. I've never tasted a Napoleon cake as gross, stale as this one, instead of inserting cream between sheet, they used gooey custard, yuck, it tasted like sticky gello. The pastry sheet was soft and flaky in texture, not the way I like. I like the one at Sheng Kee that has harder, crispier shell with thin layered cream in between. I wasn't sure if the cake was fresh either. For almost $7, it was a disappointment. Overall I didn't like the pastry.
The love latte the lady made was quite good.
One problem I noticed was there was no pricing in the beverages. Kinda a bummer 'cause they can charge whatever, and I want to know the price before ordering. Hopefully they'd set up a pricing board soon, things felt a bit temporary right now.
They still sell Persian cookies and pastries. The nature of the Persian pastry is that the product is dry, flaky and less creamy, not the style I like. They probably should continue to offer French style pastries.
The shop also appeared to be a bit messy and chaotic, not a place for zen moment.
My friends gifted me a cake for my birthday from BiBi bakery. The small cake had two layer of chocolate sponge with chocolate mousse in between the layers. The decoration was glittery and cute and the cake yummy. Hope to visit the bakery sometime soon to try out the other items in their menu.
Pineapple tart is sooooo delicious! Definitely save it for morning routines. Eclair and Napoleon are also good, but not the best.
Prefacing by saying we did not order any custom cakes or pastries or anything fancy like that. Definitely on the pricier side for cakes - we came looking for the premade ones. The coffee there is okay. Service is nice, though the variety of options can make it feel very daunting. Not too much seating. They do have very many unique foods and drinks available, so not sure which ones are suggested or not!
Gem of a bakery! Stopped by for coffee and a sweet after looking at cars nearby, and so glad we did! The blueberry scone was excellent. They have a wide range of pastries, from mini cookies and common coffee items to beautiful personal pies/cakes to gloriously designed specialities. Will be back for all celebrations needing a cake!
I ordered a wedding cake just one day before the wedding. It was so well made better than what I expected. The lady there helped me with all the details and picked up the right flavor so that it doesn't get bad Even if it's kept out for 4 to 5 hours. The taste was amazing!
It was in my budget of $100 that's like the best thing I would have planned for my friends special day in such a short time.
The picture here shows mango mousse cake with light icing and beautiful rose decor.
Just got back from this lovely bakery , love it highly recommend . You can get any type of cake for wedding, birthday and any coffe . U have to try it Guys .
Amazing pineapple cake! So very flavorful and yummy cake. Everyone at the party loved it!
Since the closure of Prolific Oven, we have tried many bakeries but could rarely find cakes that we like. Finally we got the familiar taste in BiBi’s signature cake. It’s a chocolate cake with chocolate cream plus a hint of coffee. Sponge is fluffy and moist. Cream is rich but not too greasy. The sweetness is just right. The cashier told us that she usually doesn’t like chocolate cake but she like BiBi’s. We agree!
Bijan bakery was an absolute dream. My cake looks exactly like the picture I showed them and even better.
From the day I contacted them Kim was amazing. So helpful, so generous with every single step. From the tasting to communicating to whatever it maybe that we asked for.
Everything arrived on time, tasted great, and looked absolutely incredible. I couldn’t recommend them enough, not only for weddings but for desserts and pastries. Their cakes are one of the only cakes that actually taste SO good!!!!
Thank you Kim and to the whole bijan bakery team.
You will not be disappointed. This is our place to get that special cake. Worth the price. I absolutely dislike whipped cream when you can only taste sugar and not the cream. They know how to create the perfect cake. Every bite is a treat and not just a sugary tasting cake
The experience was UNIQUE.!!
I placed an order for my wedding cake here, I had specific colors, flowers and kind of design of the cake I wanted.
The staff helped me with the flavors (mango/chocolate)
The final product was Amazing.!
Look exactly as desired, with a few extra touches here and there (thank you).!!
I am very grateful, this was another nice element in our special day.!
Thank you Bijan Bakery & Cafe ♥️
Definitely recommend the Mango Mousse and the Burnt Almond cake! Mind blowing
