Pretty much the best Fried Chicken sandwich you can get anywhere. Their desserts are seasonal so you aren’t guaranteed to get the one you want, but if at all possible try to go when the Bread Pudding is in season; that’s their best dessert. If you're ever in the east bay, i highly recommend you check it out.
Bake sale Betty…… Mmmm Mmmmm DELICIOUS! this place gets packed and busy and the operation time is limited, so if you go there, it may have a long line, but they will get the orders in and out real quick. The chicken is tender and crispy, the slaw has a little spice since it has jalapeño’s in it but it’s a nice blend. If they have the strawberry short cake… GET IT!! ITS HELLLLLLLLLAAAAAA GOOD HAHAHA.
If you haven’t been to Bakesale Betty, you’re missing out on something truly special. I ordered the apple rhubarb crumble pie and the strawberry shortcake, and both were absolutely phenomenal. What stood out most was the balance — not overly sweet, but rich in flavor and incredibly fresh. The crumble topping on the pie had just the right crunch, and the filling was perfectly tart and comforting. As for the strawberry shortcake, it was hands-down the best I’ve ever had — light, fluffy, and full of real strawberry flavor without being sugary. I’ve had my fair share of desserts, but these two stand out as some of the best I’ve ever tasted. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re anywhere near Oakland!
They're known for their chicken sandwiches, and for food reason, they're some of the best you can get! Everyone, one of their baked goods that I've tried, had been amazing. If you haven't, you need to try it. Just make sure to get there early!
My friend Faith was visiting from Maryland. I had asked her what and where she wanted to eat at while she was in town. She said, "Bakesale Betty"! (Oakland). Her first time trying this fried chicken sandwich w/slaw was 7 years ago. I was surprised that out of all the places she visited before, this was the spot she wanted to go back to! Bakesale makes many delicious baked goods which includes cookies, scones and pies. But, you are really here for one thing: Fried Chicken sandwich w/slaw. Crispy, juicy chicken w/touches of cayenne and pepper. Dare I say it's one of the best? I had one for lunch and I'm already thinking about wanting another one!
