This is a hidden gem! The donuts are out of this world! Recommend the Banana Nutella Cronut and the Maple bacon bar 👌👌, but honestly everything is great! Bear Claw Bakery serving the community for 40+ years. Hats off to you

Just picked up a birthday cake. It looked beautiful! Ive never been disappointed with their cakes. Yummy!!

Great place and staff, picked up coffee today, pretty quick service, friendly staff. I really like the bear theme menu thats creative 😁hopefully ll get chance to try it out next time 👍🏻

Excellent local bakery! They not only have a great bakery selection, but at night they have phenomenal pizza! The pizza is absolutely loaded with toppings! If you have pickier kids, they also sell tater tots. Plus for the adults a great beer selection all from local breweries both on tap and canned. If youre in the neighborhood they are worth visiting, and they remember you if you go back! Such excellent customer service here, it really makes you feel like youre part of the family.

Very friendly and clean. Good is great. Price is better. Check out new menu also

The food is very good, good waffles, good coffee, good sandwiches, the maple bacon bars are incredible.I give this place 3 stars because the service is almost comically slow. I’ve come here to order waffles on the weekend with only two other people in line and it’s taken 45 minutes to get my order. This is not an exaggeration nor is it unusual for my experience here.5 stars for the food, 1 star for the patients required to get it, rounds out to 3 stars overalls

Great friendly people, amazing service and everything on the menu is excellent. From the donuts, the pastries, the pizza and the paninis you absolutely cant go wrong with anything you order. Oh and did I mention they have beer on tap. 👍👍

I stopped by for breakfast on my morning bike ride. Great selection of pastries and sandwiches. Will definitely come back 😁

Great sandwiches. Great pastries. Great coffee. Only negative is they have no official breakfast menu. I got a delicious lunch sandwich and saw a written breakfast sandwich menu that I would have ordered if Id seen it before 😆😅🤣😂 small complaint

I am honestly shocked at how good the cake was. I literally came on a Thursday night around 7PM and told them I wanted a cake by tomorrow morning 11AM but the next morning they called me at 9AM to inform me it was ready to go! I was shocked but I did see they opened at 7AM so it made sense. Great customer service though! But the quality is even better. Amazing amazing just amazing

The workers were very nice and the prices are pretty cheap. We got the brownies, cookies, and coffee cake. Everything was baked nicely and was delicious!

They have a large assortment of pastries, and other small bites to go. Its a nice little stop in for something quick.Consider this place for your next craving of pastries.

This is THE BEST BAKERY in the East Bay! The staff is amazing, the coffee is strong, the food is delicious, AND, get this, the prices are the best Ive seen in the whole Bay Area! Pro tip: try aCRONUT!

Great custom cake and perfect delivery! You guys made a socially isolating mom very happy for her birthday.

I love this bakery! Fresh and amazingly delicious

Staff is very friendly and the food is great! Weve been coming here for years and the food and service are always perfect! They have a large menu for a small cafe, I highly recommend the mocha latte, buttermilk coffee cake and the hot chick sandwich.

First time I went there I got the hibernator breakfast sandwich it was bomb. Pretty big too I could only eat half of it. I wish they would have asked ne if I wanted people with my eggs.... I dont ever put prettier on my food because it gets too spicy for me.... yes ..... for me it spicy so by the time I got to almost half the sandwich, my mouth was burning up. Maybe they should ask if they want proper and salt in their eggs it would be just a double question right. For me it was too much im due for everyone else is fine. I just dont eat spicy stuff and pepper gets spicy for me. Great job though keep up the good work. Will get breakfast there next time I am around that area.

Quaint and affordable. Freshly made foods with a diverse menu. Friendly staff. Fast WiFi. New favorite spot to work.*Breakfast sandwich $7Panini crunch with sliced sausage.

I got a apple pie from them, and I have to say it was the worst pie I had ever tasted...not only was it unfloverable it was more crust that apple filling, I couldnt taste the sugar, cinnamon.

Decided to stop here to pick up donuts for my Dad, the donut connoisseur, on my way through to the valley from the BA. I was looking forward to trying one of the breakfast sandwiches due to the good reviews but I was, sadly, too late. I ended up getting a panini sandwich instead and it was excellent!!The folks working there were very friendly, the sandwich was great, and my Dad liked the donuts. Wins all the way around, Ill definitely be back for that breakfast sandwich!

I used to go here as a kid. It’s still in good standing and has many customers, new staffs. It’s changing, but the atmosphere never changes. I love it :)

I have stopped for a coffee and a tasty breakfast burrito here countless times. Its a great way to start my day and commute down to my jobs in the east bay. Im glad they are still open during covid

Its always a sinful pleasure to stop in for some mouth watering foods.

Omg!!! Enjoyed this treat Cronuts are amazing. I had one and shared the box with others. Customer service was very good.Just a tip they good early so best to order a day ahead. ENJOY!!!

Told gentlemen it was my first time there. Got a free muffin! It was great!Them I ordered their roast beef panini. It was there best panini Ive eaten so far! Too bad its so far away from Fremont or I would be a regular!

Awesome tater tots and pizza for dinner, amazing pastries for breakfast! Coffee, beer and wine to drink.

This is my favorite local bakery. The doughnuts are my absolute favorite and the staff is always very kind

Last November, my kids planned a surprise 70th birthday party for me. They bought a cake from Bear Claw Bakery. I have to say it was one of the best cake I have ever had! I had more then one piece. 🥳 Now, for the end of summer lost to Covid-19, I decided my family deserves a treat. Calling tomorrow!

Fantastic donuts and bear claws

Pastries are amazing but the coffee isnt too great. Definitely had better.

The best pastries & breakfast sandwhiches! Worth calling ahead cuz sometimes it takes awhile in line. Everything is real hand made with unusual flavors to select from. Nutella!!

This place was really clean and has a good service with a good food to eat. The Bear Claw is the best of the last original bakeries family owned for generations and brings the best of handmade pastries, to a great breakfast menu and lunch solutions. Have to say if you want quality at a more than reasonable price you flatter your colleagues and family with a treat from the Bear Claw.

Was recommended by a friend to try the breakfast sandwiches and omg so good !!

Utterly fantastic - food is delicious and staff is very warm and helpful. The location itself is also very cute and conveniently located near a few free parking lots. Make sure to try the doughnuts!One good thing to note - you can call in and order ahead. This is especially useful at busy times or if youre in a rush. Items like sandwiches are made to order and can take a bit of time, so I always try to call ahead when ordering them.

Charming bakery that has all the staples and some! Friendly staff, cosy atmosphere. Take your coffee and donuts walk to park, breathe and enjoy this quaint town!

I love this coffee shop it the best pastries in town. They are open super early during the week. I always got my favorite here and good customer service.

Just had pizza for the first time, since theystarted serving it, the pizza was very good made from scratch, just like there pastry.I will be back again for pizza. There service isalways very friendly, making you feel like your with family.

Good place to go and eat as everyone needs to support local.

Great place for coffee or tea and a super friendly staff.

So nice and clean helpful warehouse

You will love this place if you are in the area stop by. The owner can often been seen taking orders and chatting it up with the customers. Great place for coffee but recommend the breakfast sanwhiches which are hand made to order.

Magnificent place, all the flavors are amazing. Its cozy and the people welcomes you in a really kind manner. My new favorite place

LOVE BEAR CLAW!! Never disappoints and SO DELICIOUS!!!

HORRIBLE, SUBSTANDARD BUSINESS. Typical of this stupid state. Stupid people running stupid businesses, where they air their stupid feelings.

Wonderful place, many delights

I’ve been coming here for over 30 years. You know everything is fresh and when they sell out, that’s it for the day. On a Friday, they sell out of bear-claws before 11am. The only kind of donuts I can’t pass up are old fashioned. Their maple old fashioned are perfect to go with a hot cup of coffee. The breakfast sandwiches take a bit of time to make but they are really good. The staff is very friendly, helpful and feel like family. I will continue to visit for as long as they’re open which I sure will be for years to come.

The hibernator breakfast sandwich was the best. Loved their coffee too. The breads were freshly baked. Employees were friendly and kind.

Super friendly service, very homey, delicious food, 100% recommend!! We go there every Friday afternoon and they have music playing & super fun!!

Good ol bear claw. Ever since I was a child, Ive been enjoying their sweet treats. But they have great sandwich options also! Coffees and teas are available to pair with delicious menu options.

They have good pastries and real awesome pizzas.

Deliciousness and it doesnt cost an arm and a leg oh my goodness the white chocolate oatmeal cookies 🤤🤤🤤💖💖💖 to die for

Breads was really good and perfect. I am fond of their goodies here it was always good, great service as well.

I love Bear Claw Bakery! They have the yummiest cakes :) I go a few mornings a week and get a breakfast burrito. They have really good bean and cheese breakfast burritos. Margarita rolls the beans herself and they are amazing! Amber is super sweet at the front counter too! Mike the owner and baker is very experienced and his wife Terri decorates the cakes beautifully. They welcome field trips from local schools. Several years ago my son had the opportunity to go there for a field trip and all the kids made a Danish! They had a blast! If you get a chance stop by and visit the Bear Claw Bakery...you wont be sorry!

Great

Great local treats and eats. Locally owned locally staffed. A gem that always provides great value.

A hidden gem in Pinole, family owned and operated, employees are all family to Mike and Teresa. Everything from pastries to sandwiches and pizza are amazing!! They will be serving pizza wine and beer for the evenings pretty soon WooHoo!!!!

Best bakery in the area. I have had their sandwiches & cakes & pies. I guess the pies are ok. The sandwiches are great. The cakes are outstanding. Nothing beats their Charlie Ross. White cake covered in melted chocolate with whipping cream. Service always with a smile. As a customer for 25-30 years, I never had anything but positive experiences.

Everyone is so friendly and the pastrys are so good

Best service and same great quality with their baked goods every time

Wonderful staff...

Love this place!

Wonderful family owed business. They go out of their way to keep the customers satisfied. And the treats are delicious! I have been going there for years!!

We have ordered Birthday cakes here for over the last 20 years and everytime they are amazing. They make the BEST fresh Strawberries & whip cream cake youll ever taste. When you stop in dont forget to try their bear claw...Great cakes & pastries! Thank you!

Quiet little place in a village like town. Good place for some pastiers, sandwich, and coffee

Bear Claw is a Pinole icon!!! They have the best traditional pastries!! But I LOVE their cro-dough!!!!

Fresh donuts and pastries. Which is why they get the 3 starsThe staff seemed to not be very informative and unfortunately my coffee was burnt tasting amd had tons of grounds in the cup

Nicest folks work here is a plus making this my favorite spot for delicious pastries and coffee!Everything is just so, so good!

This place great such a homey vibe as well pastries are great 👍

If you live in the East Bay you need to go here. Best bacon maple bar Ive had south of Redding

Best pastries in town. They are open super early during the week, perfect for the commute. They also have coffee and sandwiches.

Amazing Donuts, drinks and old fashioned donuts as well. I give this place a five star rating, BEST donut shop ever

Just what I wanted!!! It’s delicious 😋 pizza 🍕

The Bear Claw is the best of the last original bakeries family owned for generations the Stott family brings the best of handmade pastries, to a great breakfast menu and lunch solutions. Have to say if you want quality at a more than reasonable price you flatter your colleagues and family with a treat from the Bear Claw. Also most important if you are looking for that special holiday dessert or most important a cake for a special day this is your destination.

Always something interesting and new in the case. Wherever I take the pastries theyre a hit!

Great cakes & sandwiches. They bake a special cake for my family maybe 10 times a year. I forgot my lunch today so got a sandwich.

Great very freindly

Always a pleasure to visit Pinoles small town kindness

It feels like a family owned bakery that really puts the love into their goods. The baristas are always so friendly too!

Bear Claw has the BEST cakes hands down. So hard to find a family business that cares about service and product so much. Nice quiet place to have a cupa tea or coffee.

Great food and super nice and helpful staff. Clean and cozy place with lots great food.

Family owned and operated. Great coffee and pastries. The sandwiches are wonderful.

The food is very good. Its all made on site, sandwiches are made to order. I will eat here again.

Great service, amazing coffee, delicious old fashioned pastries. Definitely try the lemon cheese pastry. Also the bacon maple donut.

Great family run cafe. Excellent bakery products.

Damn good

Great service.Super bakery. Try the chocolate raspberry crodoughs. They are just outstanding!

Best bakery, cafe and deli in the area hands down. Quality ingredients, great selection, reasonable prices, and down home friendly service. Worth a visit, with all the chains, not enough of these places left.

5 stars is all that needed to be said !

Good varied menu consisting of sandwiches, salads, pizzas, etc

My family and I love the bear claws... Im here now I on a surprise Expedition (for my wife). Well one is for her😋

I am new to the area and am testing out all the places around, so my friend and I decided to pop in for coffee. Marques was very helpful with literally everything. He made our mochas PERFECTLY, both regular and soy milk were not burt oo hot and their house made whipped cream is to die for! He really sold me on their filled cronuts, I got the strawberry with cream cheese (should be a dessert!!) And my friend got their blueberry danishlSuch a great experience all around, cant wait to come back and havemore breakfast and try their lunch selection.

Great service. Great coffee and the baked goods and grilled sandwiches,are super!

Best Buttermilk Coffee Cake Ever!

Family bakery with good food and varieties of different kinds.

One of my favorites in the Bay Area to grab a coffee and a great selection of pastries.
