About Peters' Bakery
Peters’ Bakery is a San Jose institution. The founder, Tony Peters, was born into a poor Portuguese family in San Jose in 1907. When he started grammar school, he couldn’t speak English. During the Depression, Mr. Peters worked for Studebaker during the week, then spent the weekends in San Francisco with his Uncle who owned a bakery there. He learned the business at his uncle's store on Saturdays. His abiding interest was his bakery. For decades, he arrived in the middle of the night to begin the days baking. He always used the best quality ingredients it was something he had to do to fulfill his philosophy. That philosophy was, "If you don’t want to eat it yourself, don’t sell it."

The birthday cake we ordered for our mother's birthday is beyond beautiful! The rose colors are just lovely. I've never seen a burnt almond cake look like this. Thank you, Peter's Bakery!

This used to be my go to place for Apple pie because it was good and cheap and not overly sweet. But that is no longer the case. Apple pie. Not bad Bear claw : was ok. No traces of almond flavor or paste. Tastes more like a danish pastry. Chocolate eclairs: I asked for a custard eclairs, got the whipped cream. Sad. Should have checked before leaving the store.

This bakery is legendary. Maybe the prices went up. As they should. But they never waiver on the quality. Each item is sooo delicious 😋 Chocolate eclairs and burnt almond cake💥💥

I was really looking forward to trying this bakery since it’s such a local favorite, but unfortunately my experience didn’t live up to the hype. On a positive note, the service was great. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere, however, could use some improvement — it didn’t feel as polished or inviting as I expected. The biggest disappointment was the cake. It was extremely dry and completely crumbled when sliced. The flavor was very bland, and the frosting was unpleasant and overwhelming rather than complementary. It made the cake difficult to enjoy. I also purchased a berry pie with a custard filling, which unfortunately was just as disappointing. The filling lacked balance and didn’t taste fresh, and the overall texture was unappealing. Given the bakery’s reputation, I expected much better quality. I hope this was just an off day, but based on this visit, I wouldn’t return for these items.

If you’re not familiar with this bakery yet, it probably means you haven’t tasted their legendary almond cake. The name might slip your mind, but the flavor never does—and honestly, they know exactly which cake everyone comes in for. That perfectly toasted almond topping and rich, indulgent layers have earned this place its reputation for a reason. One bite explains the hype better than any description ever could. It’s the kind of dessert people talk about long after it’s gone, and once you’ve tried it, you’ll understand why this bakery is so well known.
