Mill Valley Baking Company

"Karen’s bakery is a gem in the middle of Mill Valley. We are so fortunate to know that she got this business running during Covid and procures some of the most devine baked goods we have ever enjoyed in our entire life! Thank you Karen for your hard work and running this small business in the local community!!"

"Some of the best pastries I’ve had in my life — and I’ve had a lot! The chocolate croissant was so light and so flaky — unlike the too-heavy or -bready croissants you get most places. Chocolate chip cookies are the same deal — light, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, SO tasty."

"Drop what you’re doing and go to this bakery!! Everything we got today was so delicious — chocolate chip cookie, blueberry lemon scone, cinnamon roll, chocolate croissant. And it has the sweetest owner who makes everything herself. Can’t recommend highly enough!"

"Karen is a master baker and a real hard worker. She arrives at 2 AM and opens at 6 AM. She has been discovered and sells out early. Her pastries are without equal and are always fresh out of the oven. I wish more people would request her sticky buns-absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, many of our "refined" citizens of MV don't like their fingers getting sticky! LOL!"

"I love this place! I would go to Karen again and again for custom baked goods. First of all, whenever I stop by Mill Valley Bakery, Karen is there baking up another incredibly delicious creation. She's always a pleasure to speak with, and she's such a lovely person. I love going into the bakery to talk with her and see what she's created - whatever I get from sweet pastries to savory BLTs on baguettes, it is always on another level of deliciousness and freshness. Karen made a custom order of apple cider cinnamon sugar baked donuts for our wedding this September, and our guests were raving about them. I've had multiple people ask after the wedding where they can get them, and many told me they were the best apple cider donuts they've ever had! I agree, and I grew up in New England so I've tried MANY apple cider donuts in my life and Karen's are better than any I've ever had. Karen is truly talented at what she does, and I couldn't recommend working with her for any special event more highly."
