astranda bakery

A huge thank you to @ommmar for writing this piece on the coffee rolls, thanks to pastry fairy godmother @amandajhoang for the pro tip on the cream pour, and the biggest thank you to everyone who preordered and knocked on the door @elda_sf to ask if there were any more pastries today! Y’all are awesome and can’t wait to see more of you next Wednesday!

Fresh pastries, big dreams, and a whole lot of heart 💫✨ Eric Chow of Astranda Bakery stopped by today to talk about his journey from pandemic baking to running a beloved Bay Area pop-up bakery. Between weekend baking sessions and spending weekdays focused on family life, Eric is creating more than pastries, he’s building community one cinnamon roll at a time. 🤍✨ @astrandabakery

SEE YOU TOMORROW OAKLAND @thecaffeoak Sat 5/9 9am - 11am or sold out bringing 100 rolls for walk ups (depending on turnout we may limit # of rolls per person) crossing the bridge to Oakland always reminds me of the most iconic bridge crossing movie intro ever + bonus favorite moments #mynameismaurice

Totally blown away and grateful for the turnout yesterday @kissahifi - and crushed by having to turn away so many in the end. You know who you are! Get in touch if you haven’t already, I will do my best to make it up to you. Easily the craziest day of walkups ever - even with a limit of one per person, we went through 110 rolls in 45 minutes, about twice as quickly as I was hoping… Big big shoutout to @leslietheginger for so graciously communicating with everyone who came, for her first time helping me out. Working on lining up more SF pop ups ASAP 😎

Save the date: Saturday, May 16 ✨ ⏰ 11:30am. - 2pm. 📍 April Rose Provisions, Berkeley We’re celebrating AAPI Heritage Month at ARP with a very special bakery pop-up featuring a dream lineup of pastry chefs. Jessica Fu of @jessicalittlefu Known for her beautiful artisanal pastries that capture the flavors of her childhood and desserts from her fine dining background, utilizing the bounty of California produce and her expert culinary skills. Eric Chow of @astrandabakery With years of experience in bakeries and restaurants, Eric started a cinnamon roll pop-up that quickly became a favorite. Many people say these are their favorite cinnamon rolls ever, which makes sense because they are best sellers that can sell out quickly! Mark Lieuw of @staysweetsf Crafting small-batch chocolates and confections with refined artistry, coming from a Michelin-starred background. Spread the word, follow each chef for menu drops and updates, and don’t miss this delicious event. So excited 🎉🌸 April Rose Provisions 2524 San Pablo Ave. Berkeley, CA

💫 We’re excited to welcome back Eric Chow from @astrandabakery at @thecaffeoak on Saturday, May 9, from 9AM–11AM for a special pre-Mother’s Day pop-up! Stop by for the following treats: - Coffee Cinnamon Roll, made with brioche rolled in organic cinnamon and brown sugar, finished with a chocolate caramel glaze and @mrespressooak coffee cream cheese frosting - Cream Cheese Cinnamon Roll, brioche rolled in organic cinnamon and brown sugar, topped with chocolate caramel glaze and cream cheese frosting - Seasonal Strawberry Jam Scones 
 We encourage you to pre-order through the link in @astrandabakery ’s bio. Or order in person (available until sold out). Don’t miss this chance to support an incredible baker and pack some goodies for Mother’s Day the following day. We can’t wait to see you on May 9! ☕✨ Eric Chow launched Astranda Bakery (named after his dog and cat, Aster + Dandelion) in September 2020, delivering cinnamon rolls throughout San Francisco from his packed Prius. Eric spent years cooking at some of SF’s most notable kitchens (Bar Tartine, The Perennial, and Bar Agricole), with some time at Tartine Bakery along the way. Though Astranda began with cinnamon rolls, Eric’s vision is to explore both new and classic pastries, reflecting his creative take on American baking in the Bay Area’s melting pot. #oaklandevents #oaklandcoffee #bayareabakeries #downtownoakland #eastbayeats, astranda bakery oakland, cinnamon roll pop up, oakland pastry pop up, seasonal pastries bay area, bakery pop up bay area
