Hayward ยท Est. Local Bakery
Handcrafted breads, pastries, and sweets baked daily on Mission Blvd โ because some things are worth doing slowly.
Our Story
J R Rice Bakery has been a quiet fixture on Mission Blvd for years โ the kind of place where the ovens start before sunrise and the line forms before the doors open. We don't rush. Dough needs time. Butter needs quality. And people deserve to know their baker by name.
Everything is made in-house, from sourdough loaves to flaky croissants to the cakes that mark life's small celebrations. No shortcuts, no preservatives โ just flour, water, salt, and the kind of attention that only comes from doing the same thing well, every single day.
What We Make
Sourdough, ciabatta, focaccia, and seasonal loaves โ all leavened naturally and baked to a deep, crackling crust.
Buttery croissants, pain au chocolat, danish, and seasonal fruit tarts โ laminated by hand every morning.
Birthday cakes, celebration loaves, and custom orders for gatherings โ always made fresh, never frozen.
Good coffee to match the pastries โ drip, espresso, and seasonal specials to pair with your morning pick.

We bake early and sell out โ arriving before noon gives you the best selection.
