The Midwife and The Baker

Looking for artisan croissants and pastries in Mountain View? The Midwife and The Baker offers traditional, carefully crafted baked goods made with a precise attention to dough and technique.

Our croissants are laminated by hand, with a crisp, shatter-on-impact exterior and a soft, airy honeycomb interior that balances rich butter flavor with a delicate texture. We're proud that our almond croissants, generously filled with shredded almonds and baked fresh, are among our most loved pastries.

Our seasonal Danish rotates through the year, with passionfruit offering a sweet and tart balance that pairs beautifully with buttery, flaky pastry. We also bake savory options like our olive bread, which many guests enjoy with goat cheese.

Serving Mountain View and neighbors across Santa Clara County, we aim to bring the flavors of a classic French bakery close to home.
