Crema's Take

“This Berkeley neighborhood gem excels at the marriage of exceptional pastries and genuinely good coffee, with a warm staff that makes every visit feel like coming home. Their showstopping carrot cake—finished with salted Italian buttercream instead of the expected cream cheese—is the stuff of local legend, alongside inventive creations like tahini jam cookies and rose pistachio torte that keep regulars coming back for years. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee before work or settling in for a slow afternoon surrounded by the aroma of fresh-baked goods, Sweet Adeline delivers that rare combination of serious craftsmanship and genuine hospitality that defines a true neighborhood anchor.”

Sweet Adeline is my neighborhood bakery, and I love stopping by on my way to work when I need a little extra motivation. The tahini jam cookies are amazing! They also have really good coffee and make strong cappuccinos. The staff are so friendly. I've also noticed that they are very kind and respectful to our unhoused neighbors. I'm so lucky to have them in my neighborhood. 11/10, amazing baked goods, amazing coffee, amazing people and values.

I love sweet Adeline the staff is always so friendly with smiles and the baked goodies are so delicious. I have literally tried everything and nothing will disappoint 🤤 my favorite is the carrot cup cake with cream cheese frosting and when the holidays come around I have to get mums pumpkin pie omg so good. They are open wed-Sunday you should stop by and check them out.

We've been coming to Sweet Adeline for years and they truly make some of the best cakes and pastries in the East Bay. The carrot cake is legendary, and the rose pistachio tort is the best gluten free dessert I've ever had.

The bakery here is big, filling, and delicious. I got the apple walnut cake and there are a lot going on. I love this type of cake when there are a lot of ingredients with various texture. It is so good that it almost forgot that I have to share with my friend. Well, he took the rose-pistachio torte by himself so I guess it is irresistible as well lol. In any event, I would love to come back to try everything! The bakery here is also reasonable priced given how delicious, big, and sophisticated they are.

Their carrot cake doesn’t have cream cheese, but uses a sweet Italian buttercream. That’s a little bit salted. I have never had a carrot cake like this. I need to come here five minutes after they open instead of five minutes before they close so I can try some other items fresh. I think I need to drag family, friends or even a date over here so we can try more than one thing together. I can’t eat four slices of anything anymore one go. I’m not in my 20s anymore. And I need to try everything they have. One of my favorite new bakeries
