Rustic Bakery
1139 Magnolia Ave, Larkspur, CA
Crema's Take
“This charming Larkspur bakery has earned a loyal following for their standout baked goods, especially blueberry muffins and quiches that locals rave about as some of the best around. It's the kind of warm, family-friendly spot where friendly staff and a no-fuss vibe make it perfect for a quick coffee grab before heading to nearby Muir Woods, or settling in to meet a friend over fresh pastries and light fare. While service can get spotty during weekend mornings when it's packed, the genuine care from the manager and consistently excellent baking keep people coming back time and again.”

Food was good but could use a little bit of more seasoning. Service was great, everyone was very friendly.
My search for the best blueberry muffin is almost over. I give their muffins a 9/10. Nice local bakery that’s not too overpriced. They have fresh Quiche and awesome brownies.
If you read many of my reviews you know I'm a bakery fan. Life is really about going from one bakery to another and seeing what each does best. My vote for Rustic is their quiche and salad. The baked goods are excellent. Up until today, I would have said that their croissant were not quite as good as Tartine or Arsicault Bakery, but today, all the baked goods and croissant were magnificent. Good coffee.
Its my 5th time visiting this location. I have to say their pastries are good but the service is not meeting up the expectations at all. I understand we always visited during their busy weekend morning time but the service was incredibly slow, unprofessional, and not friendly. They all looked tired and seemed not liking what they were doing, not very organized in their orders/services as well. I guess the bakery just needs to hire more people, train them better to get prepared for these during peak hours…? Just not giving a good impression on the rustic bakery to the customers….
