Famished Girl
Bakesale Betty
If this place had been around back when I lived in Oakland, I might never had moved away! When you walk through the bakery’s doors, you may be tempted to order one of every freshly baked item available. And this woudn’t be a bad idea, because everything is yummy here — especially the banana bread.
What makes the banana bread so superior? The honey and, perhaps more importantly, the cinnamon crumb topping (it’s not just for coffeecake anymore!). You may think you can’t possibly eat an entire loaf, but you can. It’s that good.
My husband, a big scone fan, loves their seasonal options. And the lemon bars are deliciously tart. Oh! And the sticky date pudding, and the brownies … I could go on and on here. But really, get yourself to Betty’s and sample the treats for yourself. Just don’t try to visit the bakery on a Sunday or Monday (they’re closed both days). On Sundays, you can find Betty’s represented at the Temescal Farmers’ Market in Oakland, as well as the Walnut Creek Farmers’ Market.
