About this business

Already an institution in the East Bay, Bakesale Betty has local families, hipsters, and sweet teeth forming a line out the door for delicious baked goods. Everything tastes great, but the words you'll hear coming from the lips of everybody waiting are "fried chicken sandwich." The unbelievably filling sandwich is piled high with delicious fried chicken covered with a faintly spicy, not at all soggy jalapeno coleslaw. Other favorites are the carrot cake cupcakes, the strawberry shortcake, and the bake-at-home chicken pot pie... read more

sweet treats The ginger cookies are spectacular. The fried chicken sandwich is pretty tasty. The strawberry shortcake: layers of cream, shocking amounts of fresh macerated strawberries. There's cake somewhere in there. But it's really about having just gobs of strawberries with fresh whipped cream...and a little bit of cake.

Bakesale Betty's This bakery is my absolute favorite place for a bite to eat or to pick up dinner and dessert. They have the best fried chicken sandwich packed with homemade spicy coleslaw. Their chicken pot pie is the best value around. The large pie will easily serve a family of six. It is chucked full for savory pieces of chicken with a great gravy and topped with a delicate and sweet pastry crust.I am also in love with their strawberry shortcake. The biscuit is just right, layered with tons of the freshest strawberries a... read more

Go for the chicken sandwich Bakesale Betty's is a cute, quaint, little bakery with an enormous following in Oakland. The items are simple, but that makes it easy. People can't get enough of the chicken sandwiches that are packed with a delicious spicy slaw! The staff is great and very friendly. I've never had to stand in a really long line.....but I do know they exist. I believe there is a 2nd location opening also! The baked goods are a must have too. Give it a try!!!

Cookies are addicting I love this place. Betty's cookies, especially the ginger ones are amazing and you cannot eat one!!! The scones are great and this is a great neighborhood place to take out of town guests. Especially if you see Betty and her blue wig.

Good pastries Wow this place is bustling! I like their scones a lot. Their cookies are also yummy. However, I think their pies are extremely overpriced, and definitely not worth it.

Hands Down -- Best East Bay Cookies & Scones Okay.. you gotta hand it to Betty... she pulls it off with this fun quirky little corner bakery at the busy intersection of 51st and Telegraph. The sidewalk is lined with .... ironing boards, yes, you read that right -- ironing boards -- each occupied by patrons using them as tables happily munching away on their fried chicken tenderloin sandwiches stuffed with tangy jalapeno laden slaw on a soft and sweet sandwhich roll, humongous cookies, and sweet and tangy lemon slushees.

You'll be addicted, too! You'll know you're there when you see the line of customers down the block! Best sandwich ever! Don't fret the long line. It moves fast and often you'll be served a free cookie while you wait. Yes, go for the chicken sandwich but make sure to get some strawberry shortcake to go. Best chicken pot pie in the Bay Area, too!
