So sad to hear what has happened. Did the old place ever reopen somewhere else?

Overpriced and not very good.
I miss the old place. It was friendly, reasonably priced, and had good food —- and didn't charge for bread!!

Woodside Bakery reopened at the Sharron Heights Shopping Center in Menlo Park.

My husband and I are very happy the Village Bakery & Cafe opened in Woodside. It is outstanding. The food is delicious and consistent. The restaurant is clean and beautiful. The prices are reasonable and the quality is always there. The staff is professional and friendly. This is a regular on our restaurant list. Thank-you Bacchus Group!

The new Village Bakery is the best thing to happen in a long time in Woodside.

My experience was so disappointing that I'll never go back. Menu has limited choices & odd choices, higher-than-warranted-by-quality pricing & a waiter so inept that he belongs in a Candid Camera episode or a Pink Panther movie, not in a restaurant. As I arrived for lunch, there were 2 small glasses of water on the table. I asked for a large glass. He came back with an empty glass & dumped both little glasses into the big glass. When I asked for ice, he brought cubes & dropped them into my glass, splashing water onto the table. Smooth, n'est pas? He left both little empties on the table so when my friend arrives, she thought she had a dirty used glass.

Tepid soup for $16, Caesar-ish salad for $15, decent but not fab burger, & a horribly inept waiter won't get any return business from me. Web Link

I much prefer the Pub or Buck's & miss the old Woodside Bakery with more choices & better food.

Corporate, not rustic. Hit-and-miss food. We could have used a Jesse Cool (not that they grow on trees) or a family place with fresh, simple food. Not a fan.

The Bacchus Group totally misread the public in designing this restaurant/bakery. Do you have no sense of history? Did you conduct any focus groups? It simply doesn't belong in Woodside! We want value, we want community, and choices. "Corporate, non-rustic" as another reviewer mentioned, is what we got. I don't need to sit in a Restoration Hardware to eat. Yes the food & service is hit or miss (I had a great meal, but for far too high a price), and the bakery offerings are paltry and extreme in cost. How do you think the locals came by their wealth? - By spending wisely and appreciating earthiness! The Bakery especially misses the mark in lousy seating, few choices, and undue formality. We were looking forward to another Mayfield, and this is what we got, disappointingly. Thank goodness for down-to-earth Buck's and Jesse Cool types.

I’ve been there three times and each time left something to be desired. The counter service is slow and inefficient, run by too many clerks behind the counter who move around too much and don’t understand job efficiency. The pastries are dry, crumbly, and not very tasty. The coffee is inconsistent, ranging from excellent to awful. This place doesn’t have its act together. Bring back the old Woodside Bakery, which was just great.
