Arroyo Grande Bakery

I needed a cake with the band One Direction printed on it for my boyfriend’s daughter’s 9^th birthday. I went to Vons first and they told me they couldn’t do that for me because if the group were to find out they made a cake with their picture on it without their permission, that they could get sued. Lol what a joke! So i called Arroyo Grande Bakery and they said they could do it for me no problem! The cake turned out more beautiful than i could have imagined, and i will go with them next time i am in need of another cake!

I’ve been going to Arroyo Grande Bakery since I moved here in 1973. They have the best of everything and are the last of the old time bakeries in the Five Cities area. Great pastries, breads, cakes, cookies! We bought potato rolls and 2 loaves of onion cheese bread today and all was delicious. Give this little bakery a try, you won’t regret it.

The RARE FULL SERVICE BAKERY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
which has MINCEMEAT PIE!
Wow, my wife was blissfully in Heaven
with this super-​rare Holiday Pie… which I have
never seen sold elsewhere, nor even existed.
I actually never heard of Mincemeat until my
wife happen to try it at Santa Clara’s Hyatt
Buffet one morning. She is Chinese & I think
it is a British/​Euro thing starting back in
the 16^th century… so go figure.
Mincemeat is sold preserved in a jar in some
supermarkets. It is not cheap & kind of reminds
me of X-​mas Fruitcake. In general, despite
it’s name, I have only found vege Mincemeat
so far… which is great for my Vege wife.
The history of it is kind of interesting, since it
originally contained mince beef. Hundreds of
years ago Meat meant food. Therefore, it was
was named Minced Meat (which contained
Beef & all kinds of stuff), but was really Minced
Food.
Anyway, since we established that at least one pie was quite
good, I imagine the others are good too.
They also Bake some unusual designer cakes to order &
make interest items like pastries that look
LIKE BURGERs & FRIES! (see pic)
Much of their cookies & stuff are less than exciting, but they do have
variety at least. They do not compare to good Italian nor Jewish nor
Hungarian Bakeries in NYC or elsewhere.
Their pastries & eclairs are not as stellar as some of the offerings as either
Sweet Pea nor Éclair (Bakeries)…nor Whole Paycheck for
that matter.
I really hate that AGB uses whipped cream rather than yummy custard
in their eclairs… I never buy those things.
Anyway, in this area, we cannot be too particular. Kids care far more on how
cool the cake looks & if it has tons of sugar… so I imagine it is great for a
child’s B-​day Party. Some really love their Wedding Cakes.
The young girls who work there are pleasant & are patient with
customers.
Of course there are other places in town that make cakes including some pricey,
but grandiose ones, on Madonna Road, or the more humble, but good, custom, & inexpensive ones at the Ralph’s supermarket (of all places).
But AGB is unique in its MINCEMEAT PIE &
HAMBURGER CAKE & COOKIES!!!
Makes a unique Holiday Season Gift.

My friend bought me a cake for my birthday .It a vanilla and chocolate and it so moist, had buttercream in them. Best cake ever

Great product, excellent customer service — Casey is a gem! You can’t ask for more. I have been coming here for 20+ years, never disappointed! The best marble cake on the Central Coast! Great cookies too!

Amazing customer service and experience — every single time. I have been using Arroyo Grande Bakery for 20 years — they have always exceeded my expectations and today was no different. When I found myself in a bind, I called and ordered a cake very last minute and of course, they accepted the order with amazing customer service and will save the day! Thank you, Arroyo Grande Bakery!

Amazing cakes, pies, cookies, breads and friendly staff keep us coming back. They use high quality ingredients and make their baked goods with a lot of heart. The presentation of the baked goods is pretty impressive as well.

Visited for the first time today. Location is hidden behind where the Girls Restaurant use to be so its pretty much hidden behind all the construction. I bought a slice of lemon cream cake, chocolate chip cookie, coconut cookie and an Oreo chocolate cupcake. The cake on both the cupcake and lemon cake were very moist. The lemon cake almost reminded me of sponge cake. The icing was perfect and not too sweet on both. As for the cookies, they were thin and chewy. Pretty decent in this area!

The folks at Arroyo Grande Bakery did an amazing job on my wedding cake! I didn’t really know what I wanted when I started working with them but they were so patient and helpful as my mom and I made decisions and visited them numerous times with questions and changes. The cake was absolutely gorgeous and beyond anything I could have dreamed of. It was also delicious! I highly recommend the AG Bakery!

This is a good old school bakery. $ 40 for a cupcake cake that feeds 35, not bad at all. I prefer the whipped cream over butter.

Yeah. This place had one of my few five star reviews until now. Don’t tell a customer that you have fresh bread, put it into a bag that she can’t see through, and then have her find out at home that she was given a loaf frozen rock solid. And this place doesn’t give a d@#$ about making or keeping a customer happy. Too many other unsuspecting people coming through the door apparently.

The bakery is okay, it’s not great. The baked goods they have ready are decorated cute but they taste better than they look. Customer service was unremarkable.

The customer service shined more than their cupcakes, to be honest. We got a box of assorted cupcakes for after my daughter’s birthday dinner. The kids all liked them but my husband and I felt like the frosting was too sweet. Where’s the butter?
We will be going back to try all the other delicious looking items Arroyo Grande Bakery has to offer. I know my kids will love one of their MANY character cookies.
I won’t be ordering the cupcakes again, but I may try a larger cake fir a party because I have had so many local recommendations from friends. I was very pleased with the courteous woman working and am all for supporting local businesses!

Its a nice little bakery, been there for years. They make the great looking cakes for kids’ birthdays. We recently ordered a Spiderman cake for my son, and they did it same day. I called a could hours ahead of the time I originally thought I would need it, and they had it ready. Fresh, beautifully presented, and nice staff. Also available: doughnuts, pastries, brownies, cookies. I like that they are there. THANK YOU ARROYO GRANDE BAKERY!

A real old fashioned bakery. Lived here two years and just found it. Outstanding Jalapeño pepper cheese bread. Cinnamon pastry to die for and the lemon layer cake cannot be beat. We will be back to try their scones and custard pie. Fresh hand made bakery goodies that are the best

We are from out of town and were celebrating a 50^th birthday here in Arroyo Grande. We had two cakes from Arroyo Grande Bakery, the lemon cake and a chocolate cake. Although I am a chocolate lover, the lemon cake had great lemon flavor without being too tart. We were definitely lucky to find Arroyo Grande Bakery sight unseen.

This bakery did our wedding cake and it turned out perfect! They were very helpful when we ordered it and let us try as many flavors as we wanted. My cake had two tiers and they made each tier a separate flavor for us. They delivered on time and the cake was just as we had ordered it.
They also have a great selection of cookies and cupcakes for very reasonable prices!

I just used this bakery for my wedding on 06/​01/​2013. They were very affordable compared to other quotes I received. I went in for a tasing and they were very helpful and the cake tasted really good. I wish they had more flavors to try though.
There seemed to be some confusion with the cake design and cake flavors we choose while we were there. But my wedding planner called them and changed stuff anyways so it wasn’t too big of a deal. The cakes ended up looking great. We did one main cake and 4 other cakes. I heard from all the guests how good they were. The bakery delievered the cake as well, which was awesome. I would definitely use the bakery again. I will probably have them make us a new cake for our 1 year anniversary.

Best bakery in the 5 cities. Amazing customer service and exceptional at making personalized cakes! Great to just pop in for a tasty treat, as well as to make big orders for upcoming events! I always love their butter cookies; they melt in your mouth!

Ok, my wife was supposed to order the cake for my nephew’s birthday, but dropped the ball. And, he wanted an ice cream cake to boot.
She called two local ice cream shops and didn’t even get a call back. In a sign of defeat, she called me and told me to bring home some cupcakes or a pre-​made cake from the store.
A friend told me to try Arroyo Grande Bakery, and within 30 minutes, they made a terrific personalized ice cream cake with the flavor and design we wanted. Total small town feel, but with a big town service. They saved the day and I looked like a hero.
They earned the right to our business for every cake or bakery need going forward.
