General Info
Peters Bakery is a San Jose institution. The founder, Tony Peters, was born into a poor Portuguese family in San Jose in 1907. When he started grammar school, he couldn't speak English. During the Depression, Mr. Peters worked for Studebaker during the week, then spent the weekends in San Francisco with his Uncle who owned a bakery there. He learned the business at his uncle's store on Saturdays. On April 15th, 1936, he opened Peters' Bakery at Delmas and San Carlos Streets. Two years later, he opened a second bakery, on Alum Rock Avenue just east of White Road. He sold the downtown shop in 1947 to one of his apprentices, Richard Sota, which became Dicks Bakery. His abiding interest was his bakery. For decades, he arrived in the middle of the night to begin the days baking. He always used the best quality ingredients it was something he had to do to fulfill his philosophy. That philosophy was, "If you don't want to eat it yourself, don't sell it."Peters Bakery is a San Jose institution.

Must try the burnt almond cake...my family has been going to this bakery forever and it is still the best. Even though we live an hour and a half away now, we still come here. I even just got my wedding cake from here and it was amazing!
PETER'S BAKERY MAKES THEE VERY BEST BURNT ALMOND CAKE YOU SHOULD TRY IT WHEN YOU GET THE OPPORTUNITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been a Peter's customer since I was five years old and lived one block away. I now live 100 miles away, am 54 years old, and it is still the very best bakery I have ever found. I have to ship their goods to family members all the way in Oklahoma and Washington DC. It just can't be beat!
