Half Moon Bay Bakery — Restaurant in Half Moon Bay

This amazing, cute, and small donut-cookie shop is the classic, nostalgic era. Love everything about it. The vintage wooden door and door knob took me back to yester-years.

Once you walk in there, it's like magnetic and steel, the gourmet cake slices, cookies, donuts draws all your attention to the glass panel counter. Mouthwatering decors of each cookies, cake slices, the works. So many choices, how do you choose.

Because I was visiting Half Moon Bay from Utah, my eyes were much bigger than my stomach. I got lots of different kinds of cookies, sweet treats, cheesecake slices. I made sure I've what I picked out before I walked out of the bakery. I had a checklist to eat some, save some at the hotel, and bring some back to Utah to share with families and friends.

The employees were friendly and helpful. I loved the decors, settings and environment. The bakery is small but it has all the charms a bakery could ask for and more.

I lost track how much I spent, let's just say a good amount; no matter, I got what I wanted and made me happy when I left the bakery shop.

Everything was fresh on the spot. If you are craving for sweet treats, let me say this is the bakery destination you don't want to miss.

I started with one-two-then a few more cookies, a satisfied/happy customer. I knew in my heart the next time I return home to the Bay Area, I will be sure to take a drive to this bakery store, again.

From the San Francisco International Airport to Half Moon Bay Bakery, it was about 45 minutes depending on traffic as I took my sweet time on CA-1 South, the scenic drive route was beautiful as a postcard and it was about 27 miles.

With a full box of treats in my rental vehicle, eating them all along during my drive back to the Bay Area, my heart was content and complete.

Half Moon Bay is one of the happiest bakery store on Earth. Can't wait to return for more...

This was my first time visiting this bakery. Nice vibe great pictures, great pastries, and donuts breads. However, out of the staff unfortunately I got the rotten apple. No hello, how can I help? Lol, I got the look as if I’m to now I’m next. I ordered four different kinds of cookies and cannolis. I got four individual bags to carry out the 4 different types of cookies I ordered.? Maybe, I should have asked earlier to put them in a box but Honestly, I didn’t know how much I was going to order. Everything looked delicious! Sometimes common sense goes a long way.? I did ask after if I could please have a box to make it easier to carry the cookies out. She gave me the box and walked away nice!? Trust me, I understand I work retail. However, just remember this one thing… Customers are there keeping you employed with the job whether you’re tired or not whether you wanna be there or not! Treat your customers with respect always!!! Great them with one word “Hello” if anything it’s respect, that’s customer service! Have a great day.. P.S your cannolis...

I decorated my cottage "casita", "Hacienda Halloween", purchased full box size Hot Tamales candy for trick-or-treaters to coordinate with the theme. At the last minute got the idea to get Mexican skeleton cookies, called around and found at Half Moon Bakery. The 6" gingerbread style shortbread cookies were beautiful and kindly individually wrapped. I put the cookie box out w/the candy. Not one trick-or-treater (all ages) took the candy, every cookie but one was gone, leaving it for me to sample. Not only were they artistically attractive, delicious. So glad you put your bakery sticker on the back of each cookie, I want every recipient to know where they came from.

UPDATE: Special ordered Mexican Sugar Skull cookies for trick-or-treaters again for my Mexican Mariachi Skeleton Halloween decor. They were so artistic, beautiful, delicious. Did not get one trick-or-treater this year but that's OK! I just love this old style bakery. Thank you so much for creating these beautiful...
