A Sweet Taste of Europe in Castro Valley

Swiss Delices sells sweet treats as well as sandwiches, quiche and coffee.

Stepping into almost feels like stepping into a different world. The smell of fresh espresso greets you at the door. Immediately to the left you'll find a case full of pastries and cookies and a second case filled with beautiful house-made cakes. The bakery also offers sandwiches prepared on house-made white and wheat rolls. Fresh quiche in several varieties is available daily .

All of the baking is done using organic flour, pesticide-free fruit and no hydrogenated oils. Swiss Delices also has a commitment to using locally grown produce. More often than not, the fruits used in the pastries are purchased at local farmers' markets. Sandwiches are prepared using Saag's deli meats. Sandwich offerings include basil, tomato and mozzarella; mortadella; and even chicken with curry and pineapple.
