Bear Claw Bakery & Cafe
2340 San Pablo Ave, Richmond, CA
Crema's Take
“Bear Claw Bakery & Cafe strikes that perfect balance between a quick coffee stop and a lingering breakfast destination, where the Hibernator sandwich (loaded with fresh ingredients and often split generously by the friendly staff) has earned loyal regulars. The pastries and full breakfast menu keep people coming back despite the occasional hiccup, and the cozy neighborhood bakery atmosphere manages to stay welcoming even when the Richmond location gets slammed during local events.”

I’m a fan of this place so I’m not trying to be dramatic, but my sandwich yesterday was a little sad lol. I ordered a build your own turkey croissant with American cheese and avocado. It says it comes with mayo, lettuce, tomato, all that. I get home and it’s dry as hell no mayo, no lettuce, no tomato. I added mayo at home so it was fine, but yeah please double check the sandwich basics. Donuts are still amazing and that maple bacon bar🤤… so good. I’ll be back.
This place is amazing! They have the best breakfast food around! Can't wait to come back and try the pizza! Pic is of the Hibernator sando.
The service was friendly and pretty quick, and the prices were very reasonable. It was quite busy today because the street was closed for an event, but the atmosphere was still nice. The pastries were okay—definitely enjoyable. I think they would taste even better if they were served warm. I ordered a Danish, an almond croissant, and a hot cocoa. The Danish was fragrant, the almond croissant was decent, and the hot cocoa was smooth and easy to drink. The bakery itself is small, with limited seating, so you might have to wait if you visit during peak hours. Overall, it’s a cute little spot that’s worth stopping by. Not amazing, but definitely not bad either.
I often come here with my friend to enjoy the breakfast 'hibernator' sandwich. It's so healthy & tasty with fresh ingredients. The service is kind & friendly; they cut it for us to share & bring hot water in full-sized mugs. I recommend a visit to this small business which cares for their customers & has an extensive menu!
