An Old World Tradition
A century of Italian baking, from a North Beach bakery to our home at Bon Air Center in Greenbrae.
Born in North Beach
Victoria Bakery began in San Francisco's North Beach, where a group of Italian immigrant bakers joined forces and named their new bakery after one founder's young daughter, Victoria.
They brought the recipes of the Old World with them. Over the years those recipes were gathered by hand into a book we still keep, and still bake from, at Greenbrae.
In 1985, that tradition crossed the bridge to Marin, when Renzo Lavezzo and Romano Buoncristiani opened Victoria Bakery & Café at Bon Air Center in Greenbrae. Generations of Bay Area families have ordered their cakes here ever since.

Same Recipes
Still handmade in the bakery, seven days a week.
Still made by hand, every day
In 2019, Todd and Marla Northcutt took the reins, carrying the bakery into its next century. Everything is still handmade in the bakery, seven days a week, with real butter, fine chocolate, premium flour, and fresh fruit, the way it's been done for over a hundred years.
We even roast our own coffee. A San Franciscan roaster lets us roast small batches right on site, so the cup with your pastry was roasted just steps away.
