Bubble tea, tea houses, Asian bakeries and dessert shops in this group are usually walk-in, counter-order businesses with a menu board overhead listing sweetness and ice levels you can adjust when ordering. Standard bubble tea customization includes sugar level (0-100%), ice level, and a choice of toppings like boba pearls, pudding or jelly, usually at a small extra charge. Asian bakeries sell items individually with tongs and a tray, cafeteria-style, rather than pre-boxed, and pastries are typically less sweet than Western bakery items. Lines build up quickly after school and in the evening, especially near colleges. Most of these businesses accept cards and mobile pay and skew younger in clientele and atmosphere.
Hours are published for 4 days a week. On most of those days it is open 10 am–3 pm. It is closed on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

Berkeley is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Berkeley follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

My wife found Mary Kate’s baking before she found a permanent spot, and I have been following her from pop up to this location. I tell everyone about sesame, it is my favorite bakery. The food is fresh, seasonal, organic, creative, and expertly crafted. The people working there are all happy and wonderful, it really is a magical little place. I personally love their cookies, pavlova, galette de rois, frangipane tart, and pumpkin pie. The menu is always changing so be sure to go often!

I’d like to think if I could make a bakery I would hope to make something so lovely as Sesame. All of the floral/fruit flavors that capture the time and place are exactly what I want and the base pastry is super well done. Small but well run operation and everyone is super friendly:) The alley on a sunny afternoon is perfect and the their ceramics are all too cute. Nothing was a miss a we had to instantly get a second round of cookies

Amazing food and vibes. The plumb crumb cookie is my new favorite cookie in the bay! It’s like a tiny fruit tart—I think the base is a short bread cookie, and it has a chewy crumble + fresh fruit on top. The other shortbready cookie with jam was also very good. The two other things I tried were the nectarine chiffon cake and the plum tart. The cake was light and not too sweet, and had just the right amount of cream. The plum tart was also very tasty. Besides the food, the aesthetics of the place are beautiful and unique. Just look at the picture of the menu! Overall one of my favorite bakeries in the bay, highly recommend!

Such a cute spot! Arrived around noon on a Saturday and several items were sold out already 😭 We tried a slice each of the apple almond tart and walnut mandarin cake. Both are amazing!! I'm sure the menu changes depending on what fruits are in season. Looking forward to coming again to try other things! Additional notes: • Outdoor seating only, not too many tables available • You can pre-order a whole cake/tart! They told me that they need 5 days lead time, and can potentially accommodate customizations with even more lead time.

I love this bakery and have been following Sesame since the pop-up days! 1. I LOVE the amount of butter in everything! No b-skimping herrrr. If you love butter in your baking, you will not be disappointed. I love the COMPLEXITY! Like you can taste the salt and the butter, not just shuggies (tho I love shugz obvi). 2. Everything in the shop is beautiful! I love a cake with real flowers on it. Period. 3. The shop is so cute and warm and wonderful and welcoming. So thoughtfully curated.
