Creekside Bakery
1719 Grant Ave, Novato, CA
Crema's Take
“Creekside Bakery is a beloved neighborhood gathering spot where the pastries steal the show—locals can't stop raving about standouts like the lemon pistachio danish and avocado toast. The sprawling outdoor seating and genuinely warm staff create the perfect vibe for lingering over a coffee with friends or family, making it feel less like a quick caffeine stop and more like a destination worth the short drive to Novato. Fresh-baked goods and thoughtfully prepared drinks arrive consistently excellent, earning this place its reputation as a local gem that justifies the slightly higher price tag.”

Great food and extremely nice staff. Lots of outdoor seating. Little pricey, however, but so is everything these days, and the pastries are impressive quality.
One of the best bakeries I’ve been too!! I still am thinking about the lemon pistachio danish! The avocado toast is amazing as well staff are super nice! Must go!!
Local gem, a place to catch up with friends and family or to chill. Fresh baked goods and freshly prepared meals and drinks are always enjoyable. Great selection of cakes and pies too!
Five-Star Outing to Creekside Bakery! 🌟 Today’s visit to Creekside Bakery was a true delight for our Atria residents — especially for Rick K., who shared his culinary insights with us! Rick spent over two decades as the head cook at the Sacramento County Juvenile Center, and it was such a treat to see him light up as we explored the bakery’s creative menu. We enjoyed roasted banana squash soup paired with a glass of wine, followed by a delicious apple pecan chicken salad sandwich. We ended our meal with a perfect cappuccino and some freshly baked pastries — the aroma alone was worth the trip! ☕🥐 Thank you, Creekside Bakery, for the warm welcome and wonderful flavors. Five stars from all of us at Atria Tamalpais Creek! 🌻✨
After our workout at GActive, my gym friends, instructor, and I decided to try this coffee shop—and wow, what a find! The place is super cute, cozy, and full of yummy treats. The staff is so friendly and even asked if we wanted a coffee refill. I had a latte and a ham & cheese croissant—absolutely loved it! I liked it so much that I came back the very next day for more (no regrets 😄). Plenty of parking, too, which makes it even better. Highly recommend!
