Comment: Please fix the squeaky fans because your space is so cozy and your food is stellar. I would order breakfast MORE often and sit down if I didnt have to hear the constant squeaky. Tip: they have kombucha on tap and it has just the right amount of caffeine.

Comment: Honestly, for the last 9 years this place has been my Go-To for when I’m not feeling well and need some nurturing. As a gluten-free person I come here for the GF Focaccia Tuna Melt (add tomato) and the GF Chocolate Cupcake with Peanut Butter Chocolate Dipped Frosting 🧁 😮‍💨. Today I added their Pozole and it was amazing! Also, they have the BEST gluten free breakfast sandwich 🥪 and it’s so affordable. Love love love them 💕

Comment: This is the best family-run bakery! I look forward to visiting every week to talk story and get a matcha latte and delicious chocolate walnut cookies and other baked goods. Their prices are affordable, their staff are friendly and remember SO many names of their customers, and their food and coffee and delicious. It’s also a large open space so it’s a great place to sit with a book or do some work and never feels cramped or crowded. Please consider supporting this local family business - they are an Oakland gem.

Comment: We ended up here by chance and did not regret it. The most delicious bagels and an out-of-this-world Cubano sandwich sold, prepared and served by friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommended if you’re looking for breakfast in Oakland.Update: Today, 7 months later, my daughter exclaimed it was the best bagel she’d ever had. ;-)

Comment: The best. A chill, down to earth neighborhood coffee shop with great baked goods and super friendly staff. Seems to be a good spot to work too, though there aren’t a ton of outlets. I haven’t eaten lunch here, but people seem to like their sandwiches - good sounding vegetarian options as well.

Comment: Loved this place!! delicious bagel sandwiches and coffee at a great price. my friend and i got the egg/cheese and the slow roasted pork bagel sandwiches and the service was fast, food was hot and tasty with good portion size.the other baked goods (croissants, cookies) look fresh and tasty, ciabatta and croissant sandwiches also look great! im excited to try the chipotle chicken and tofu portabella sandwiches next. there seem to be plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans in addition to the classic sandwich/bagel options (ex: tofu cream cheese).the space is large and open with plenty of seating and a nice row of window seats too. clean and pleasant. seems like a great place to either meet up with a friend or read, study, work, etc :) there is an outlet or two but i haven’t tried them out, unsure if they have free wifi.more than anything there’s a cozy homey family vibe that i love, i’m looking forward to coming back frequently :)

Comment: This is my go-to for croissants in the neighborhood. When I left SF, I was worried I wouldnt be able to find a decent croissant within walking distance. But I was wrong. The croissant au beurre and pain au chocolat are good. While a touch greasy, the dough is decently laminated, with flaky, airy, and buttery layers, but thankfully not bready. They are moist and pack a lot of flavor. They only make a few pain au chocolat a day, so go early if you want one.

They have solid food every time I stop by and some yummy desserts.Whether you need coffee, a sweet treat, or a full lunch, it is worth a visit.I especially enjoy the breakfast sandwiches.

Comment: This place is aggressively mediocre with regards to food/drinks and the atmosphere/cafe itself (the espresso-based drinks in particular are pretty bad, and with Red Bay and Starbucks both less than a block away youve got options for both coffee snobs and basic bros just a few steps outside).Service is really hit or miss depending on whos working and whos there - I live right across the street and after walking in and straight up to the pickup section of the counter just for the owner to sit there talking to someone and ignore me for the third time in a row I decided to just start going elsewhere.There are plenty of options in this part of town - I would highly recommend Koffee Cup just on the other side of the block which has great Korean, American, and fusion foods; or Firebrand which is right next door and offers a drastically higher quality of baked goods for about the same price.

Comment: Stopped by here to take home for breakfast treats for my parents and kinda robbed the store! Super friendly family owned business with a warm welcome and lovely customer service. They were patient through all of my needs - hehe. I ended up picking up crossaint, jalopeno cheddar bagel, ginger and something scone, carrot cake cupcake, salted caramel chocolate cake (mini 4), and crumble bar. The only thing I ended up trying for now is the peanut butter cookie with raspberry filling and MY GOODNESS, I sure have been missing out on the right cookies! Crunchy on the exterior, soft in the middle, and the raspberry was a nice touch - something a little different from other places. Cant wait to be back to try other cookies and more!

Comment: Had to cancel my order after I watched one of the cooks wipe the sweat off of his forehead, adjust his mask several times and proceed to handle the food with his bare hands. He never washed his hands, not even after preparing multiple orders. Beyond concerns of sanitation and cross-contamination; they hardly had any fresh pastries. You could tell that theyre refrigerated display was broken. I dont understand how theyre in operation. I try to support small businesses; especially those ran by POCs, but theyre going to make someone sick.

Comment: I got two items delivered with Uber eats. The croissant with egg and cheese. The croissant itself was delicious. But the eggs were microwaved and appeared grey in color. I also ordered a sesame bagel with flavored cream cheese. Instead of that they delivered a bagel with cream cheese and jelly. Maybe in person it is better.

Comment: Ive stopped by a time or two over the past few years and always had a generally pleasant time although, in my memory, Sweet Bar has always seemed to be a bit too busy and bustling.On my latest visit, I found the general ambiance to be noticeably more calm and the staff genuinely affable.The slower, more relaxed experience I encountered this last time probably is attributable to the incremental return of public activity during this Great Covid Reopening.So, while i appreciated this one opportunity to take time to placidly sit and enjoy coffee and a bagel at Sweet Bar, I wish this estimable business a complete return to its accustomed pace-- and if its a bit too busy for me the next time I drop in, I will not be mad at them.

Comment: My family has been coming here once a week, every week since early 2019 when I first moved to Oakland. What a gem! Not only do they have a wonderful, tasty selection of fresh pastries daily, but their service is kind, quick, and positive every day Im here. I will continue to come here with my family every weekend to support such a wonderful, local bakery in the heart of Oakland. Get their Croissants, but please save a chocolate croissant for us!

Comment: Every time I come the service and quality of the bagels are getting more low. The bagels don’t taste fresh like they used too. Now the last time I come they were sold out of all my favorites. This used to be my favorite bagel spot and I’ve given this place 3 more chances. Either the bagel isn’t fresh or they don’t have any and it won’t even be noon yet. You close at 3 how are you already out. Hope they start working on quality again and having more supply.

Comment: Lately every time I come, the bagel tastes old like from the day before instead of being freshly made. And now the last time I came they were sold out of 3 kinds of bagels, trying to give me the display ones and it was only 10 AM. I hope they start to work on better quality and service soon because this place is not how it used to be.

Comment: Ill start my review by saying Im vegan and it is pretty hard to find vegan butter or vegan cream cheese at any bakery. I normally just ask for a toasted bread item and I always get a funny look like really? You just want it toasted? BUT Sweet Bar Bakery has Tofutti Cream Cheese! AND they have different flavors that they make in the bakery by adding fresh ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes or jalapenos! The service was great, too!

Big plus, for me, was that they had heavy cream for my coffee. Staff was friendly. Ill go back if in the area again.

Comment: They told my disabled friend to be quiet and we had to leave. My friend makes small occasional blurt noises and is obviously disabled. We always had tea at Sweet Bar on Mondays and the Workers there were kind to us. The boss/owner definately discriminated against a person with disabilities. It is illegal and was embarrassing. I had to pass this experience on.

I was not impressed with the interior and/or decoration, the space has so much potential! Finally, I felt the owner was a bit rude when he cough me looking over the pastries and his response was Whats going on? instead of: is there anything you would like order?...

Comment: Hmm, it was my first time here, and probably my last in terms of drinks. I simply ordered an Iced Caramel Latte. It only comes it one size apparently. It tasted very milked down/bland. There wasnt a very strong espresso taste in it. Would probably have to order it with an extra shot next time. The cafe is super cutesy for sure. In terms of my experience, it was no bueno. The person who ordered before me, took my iced beverage when he ordered a hot ginger spice latte or something. After I saw another person receive their beverage before me, I slowly approached the counter hoping that I would be acknowledged. I literally had to flag the guy down who took my order and inform him that I was still waiting on my drink. Eventually they figured out that the person before me took my beverage. You could see the irritation in the person working that there was a mix-up. He offered me a cookie which I was not interested in and he seem to get upset simply because I did not want to take the cookie. I honestly just wanted to get my drink. Which I ended up throwing away later on.

Comment: We drove in from Sacramento. I told employees that we needed to catch a movie in 20 min. The pizza will be ready in 9 min, the employee told me. After waiting 15 min, I asked for the food to be put in a to-go container. Then the employees began making snide remarks to each other. They became rude toward me, as if I were serving THEM. I had never been treated like that in a place of business. We will never return!

Comment: This place just shot to the top of my list of favorite places for lunch in Oakland. I grabbed a Sriracha Chicken and Onion pizza there that, without exaggeration, just reset my expectations for good pizza. The staff was unbelievably attentive and outgoing even though they were slammed with a line out the door. There was such an air of quality and high standards that I want to make a point to work my way through their entire menu! This feels like the kind of place that will make you fall in love with foods or ingredients you never cared for in the past.

Comment: I stopped by around 3pm on a Thursday looking for some coffee at a place with wi-fi to get some work done. All three employees I interacted with seemed downright depressed. I received no greeting, no thank you, not even a hint of a smile. Usually, I prefer a more self-serve style, but even for me this lack of interaction was disappointing.While cashing me out the employee at the register brusquely turned to another and stated that she needed her shift to end, now. She got a snippy respons. From the brief exchange I overheard it sounded like this poor employee had been on the register all day long and needed a break. Either way, the conversation was not one I would have wanted to overhear.So I grab my coffee mug and fill it up. $3 for unlimited refill coffee is a great deal, and the coffee was pretty good. Nothing amazing, but tasty. I got a ginger cookie which was delicious - nice and crispy on the edges, chewy on the inside, and loaded with ginger.My time sitting was brief. The internet, well somehow it didnt exist for me or the next two people who sat down and tried to connect. The tables were also pretty sticky. To be fair, the place was very full, so maybe it was just bad timing.Overall, desert was tasty and the menu looked great. But the employee attitude was contagious, such a downer.

Comment: My friend was retiring and I needed to get a cake. I came by this place to give it taste before ordering. So first time around I got a mini flour-less chocolate cake. It was pretty darn good. So after sharing that cake and getting the ok from some co-workers, I decided to go with the Chocolate Fortress. Even the name itself was something to be reckoned with. Chocolate cake, with chocolate mousse and raspberry filling topped with fresh raspberry and chocolate shards. Yes, I died and went to heaven. This cake is extremely rich and very heavy. I couldnt figure what message I wanted when I went in to order. They allowed me to call the day before pick up.This was so painless to order a cake. Now this will be my go to place in Oakland for special occasion cakes.

Comment: Such a cute little bakery. Great gluten-free options and good coffee too. Im vegetarian and allergic to onions so their breakfast options are limited. I usually ask them to make their ham and cheese crossiant sandwich without the ham. In the morning, its nice and quiet, but in the afternoon, it can get quite crowded and loud. So, if youre looking for a place to study, go there in the morning.

Comment: Just returned from a month in Europe, sampling cappuccino and croissants along the way. Turns out that the best of both can be found at Sweet Bar.

Comment: Bright and airy warehouse space in Oakland, housing a bakery/cafe which offers a variety of cookies, tarts, cupcakes, and other desserts in addition to lunch fare-- including salads, soup and sandwiches, plus coffee and tea. I was impressed by the detailed labels on each of the bakery offerings, which lists ingredients and empowers those with nut, dairy, gluten, and other such dietary concerns to make informed choices. A perfect spot to meet up with friends spanning the spectrum of consciousness in eating, minus the fuss.

Comment: Location is everything. Accross the street from the Oakland Y you feel ok eating the sweets after the work out. Cupcakes are really good.
