50 Stores with the best cookies in San Francisco

Avoid this place like the plague. I had heard great things about Anthony's and decided to order about $100 worth of cookies for a party. When I opened the boxes, half of the cookies were egregiously overcooked. What was really upsetting was that the snickerdoodles were completely burnt. I feel like this is completely unacceptable especially since I pre-ordered. Why would you sell burnt cookies to anyone? The peanut butter cookies were also terrible -- they tasted nothing of peanut butter, they tasted stale and were super salty. The chocolate covered short bread is hard to describe -- they almost have a sour, tangy taste. It leaves an off-putting taste in your mouth. I'm highly disappointed in my experience here. Sure, the staff were nice enough and the store seemed busy, but really what are we buying? I feel duped and I suggest you don't waste your time or money here.

Meh cookies, with a above normal price tag and worst customer service that look at you like you stole something. No point in coming here unless you’re friends with the dude or live upstairs. We came here when we lived in the bay almost weekly. Coming back after a few years to be met with opening sentence sucks. Bad cookies , might be a battle batch, but poor customer service? Never again

The quality of the cookies is a given and I really enjoyed the personality of the cashier this past Sunday. So sweet! Definitely very neighborly and pleasant! I don’t mind spending more for a premium product but the cookies felt miniature for the price paid. Like you could easily smash one in one bite. As tasty as they are, it’s kind of underwhelming having to take small dainty bites but they still disappear pretty quickly. Side note: Pairs so well with iced coffee!

Sooo goood. Make these cookies forever please. Cookies & cream and toffee chip are my favorites. Flawless. I’m a big fan of Levain cookies. Anthony’s hit different tho. Worth trying both if you know your sweets.

My new favorite cookie place. While visiting SF, my friend who’s a local told me I must try this place. Everyone of the 6 different cookie flavors that I tried was DELICIOUS. I’m very particular about my chocolate chip cookies and they passed the test. Small storefront but BIG flavor. 10 out of 10.

Very good homemade-tasting cookies! I bake a lot and these taste almost exactly the same as the cookies I make, but often it is hard to find true homemade tasting cookies in a bakery. They are relatively small for bakery cookies, and slightly expensive at $2 per cookie. I could easily eat 3-4 so $6-8 worth in place of one large bakery cookie (which would normally be $3). I would recommend the regular chocolate chip, walnut chocolate chip, and toffee chip. I didn’t love the cookies and cream one.

This has been my favorite cookie spot in the city for forever! The cookies and cream are DELICIOUS!!!

Anything that we got was great. All the sandwiches have house made breads; highly recommended. Also they have great pastry and deserts and also coffee. All good. There is long waiting time and not enough seat. But you can take away and enjoy the food at Dolores park.

Tartine Bakery is a cute shop with a great vibe, perfectly situated in a lively area near Mission Dolores Park. While everything on display looked delicious, the morning bun is an absolute standout. I was honestly amazed at how good it was - incredibly fresh, soft, and flavorful in a way you wouldn't expect. A good tip is that while the seating is limited, it's generally sufficient for a cafe of its size and it wasn't overly crowded during my visit. For anyone visiting San Francisco, I would highly recommend a stop here, especially for the morning buns. It’s a genuinely delightful experience.

Fantastic pastries and great location. The almond croissant was perfect and unlike any I have had before. Not too sweet and didn’t taste of artificial almond, which is extremely rare to find. The plain croissant was luxurious and everything you want a croissant to be. The morning bun was soft and had a hint of orange, which was a nice surprise. We came in on a Thursday morning around 10:30am and seating was pretty tight, but eventually a spot opened up. Will definitely be back.

I originally wanted to go to the manufactory location but the line was insane + they sold out of the fig goat cheese caramelized onion danish I wanted to try🥲 Since it wasn’t too far I just ended up walking over instead Danish was absolutely delicious with crispy edges, soft buttery inside, and a very delicious smell+taste of eggs and cheese… the caramelized onion and fig jam also paired perfectly with the slightly-dry goat cheese, which surprisingly did not feel too goaty at all. I arrived slightly late so the danish wasn’t hot but (I think) they used heated plates so it didn’t seem cold/stale at all! The cappuccino tasted okay but the milk could definitely be better foamed. Store was quite busy but it actually wasn’t that difficult to find a seat; it was a bit more on the crowded side but since everyone was quite friendly it still made for a pleasant experience.

Must!!! Anything we tried here was delicious. We go once or twice a trip every time we are in California. Coffee is on point. Always get a loaf to go. I don’t even like sweets but the baked goods are made my angels.

Yummy almond croissant and super friendly service! Standard flat white as well. Love that they have a little area to wrap any leftovers to go, made it very convenient!

I really liked the iced vanilla latte and the morning bun. But unfortunately I have to leave a 1 star review, as the coconut tart we purchased has this cocoon like object with some sort of eggs in it? It’s such a shame as I’ve tried calling the location multiple times for a solution with no avail, but hopefully they can get it sorted out for future customers.

Walked to this cute bakery from Japan town. There are so many pastries and they are all amazing. I had the pistachio olive twist and latte which was not too sweet. The matcha and banana bread were also amazing. We got there at 10 right before the line got crazy but it would be worth the wait. The service is fast and there is seating outside as well as a cute park across the street.

First time to try this bakery because of the reviews. We got the Asia Chicken Salad, chocolate croissant and vanilla sprinkle cookies. They were all ok, nothing to rave about. The dressing of the salad was good. If you want a quick breakfast, this place is ok. Prices are on the expensive though (spent about $33 for just 3 items). We were not able to try their beverages because we brought our own. Maybe next time we can try their coffee.

We were four people sharing different kinds of croissants — plain, chocolate, pain au raisin, and almond. My personal favorite was definitely the pain au raisin. We also had the prosciutto & burrata sandwich, which was amazing. The salad sandwich was packed with fresh ingredients, but the bread was a bit soggy and too soft, which took away from the overall experience. There was a long line and unfortunately no seating available, so we ended up eating in the park across the street. It would have been lovely to enjoy our coffee in ceramic cups instead of paper, if only there had been a place to sit. Still, everything tasted great and the quality was high.

Loved the vegan banana bread which was also gluten-free. In my opinion it could’ve had some chocolate chip or walnuts in it as well to add a bit more variety but it was delicious nonetheless! They also had a chocolate chip cookie, a snickerdoodle and a muffin which were vegan and gluten-free. I’ll be back to try the other options for sure

Great coffee and tasty pastries — what more can you ask for? I dropped by Jane for a quick bite before work, and I was super impressed by the wide spread of pastries, ranging from the classics to creative and unique confections. I decided to get my go-to baseline — a chocolate croissant and cappuccino — and I was quite impressed overall! The croissant was buttery and flakey, and it had plenty of chocolate. If anything, it might have had slightly too much chocolate for my taste, since it was quite a bit sweeter than I’m used to, but that might be a controversial take. The coffee was also nice and nutty. The staff was super friendly and efficient — I was in and out within five minutes, which included my indecision at the counter — so it’s a great spot if you’re in a rush. There isn’t any indoor space to sit down, but there’s a standing counter along the window or a few communal booths outside that you can hang out at.

Tried this place based on the high ratings but so disappointing. The pastry for he apple was thick and soggy, and the seasonal flan was terrible! Over baked all the way through! And it was a recommendation by the server too! The only positive was the availability of outside seating for dogs.

Jane The Bakery on Geary is an absolute gem and easily one of the best bakeries in SF. The bread is next-level—perfectly crusty on the outside, soft and flavorful inside. Their sourdough and multigrain loaves are staples, and they consistently nail both taste and texture. You can tell everything is made with care and serious skill. But it’s not just about the bread—the pastries and sweets are incredible too. The morning bun is a must-try (crispy, flaky, just the right amount of sweetness), and their croissants rival anything you’d find in Paris. They also offer some great gluten-free and healthier options that don’t sacrifice flavor. The savory items—like the sandwiches and focaccia—are equally worth the hype. Everything is super fresh, and the ingredients feel thoughtfully chosen. The space is clean and efficient, and the staff is friendly and fast, even when there’s a line (and yes, there's often a line—but it's worth the wait). If you love artisan baking and high-quality ingredients, Jane The Bakery is a must-visit. Truly 5-star worthy every time.

b. Patisserie is an exceptional bakery in San Francisco. The pastries are incredibly fresh, flaky, and full of rich flavor — truly world-class quality. Their coffee and drinks pair perfectly with everything, and the atmosphere is warm and elegant. Every item tastes crafted with care and precision. A must-visit spot for anyone who loves excellent pastries and beautiful presentation.

I brought my neighbor here after our lunch. As usual, everything here is on-point. The pastries and my usual go-tos but this visit I also got a piece of pistachio opera cake that did not disappoint. It is easy to get distracted with all the pastries but as you make your way to the register, there are small pieces specialty cakes, simple bread offerings (baguettes and sourdough loaves) to be had and what canoften be overlooked are the little cookies -chocolate, savory and plain sables-each are different and so delicious. The granola is addictive-evening you don't think you like granola. They do offer sandwiches and an espresso bar-all counter service with the drinks and sandwiches delivered to your table. I often rush in to grab pastries but it really is a treat to go here to sit and enjoy a coffee and dessert or small meal.

We got the chocolate chip cookie, a banana almond croissant, chocolate kouign-amann, and a peach scone. The kouign-amann was like a mini croissant with a melted chocolate topping. The banana almond was like crossing banana bread and a croissant, the best part was the crispy edges, they were like crispy chocolate chip cookie pieces. The chocolate chip cookie was like a Panera cookie. The scone was ok but plain and had very little peach flavor.

Everybody raves about the Kouign Amann, but honestly we loved the pain suisse! It was so delicious. The chocolate kouign amann was good too, but it has a more crystallized sugar coat and I prefer the softer croissant of the pain suisse. If you do get a kouign amann, I recommend just getting the plain one (the chocolate tasted like sugar alcohol)

Been here a bajillion times. Usually first in line, sometimes waaaay in the back. Still amazed how the quality and service has not changed in recent years. A long way from our hotel, love making the walk back (most of the trek is beautiful) with a big box. Almost 3000 reviews, obviously they do it right. I am obviously not objective in my review of b. patisserie because I love this place to the point I am blind with gluttonous excitement each visit.

we got two of their cakes: sesame yuzu and the chocolate pistachio, along with the kougin aman and chocolate chip cookie. Their seasonal kougin aman is a must get!! Super flaky and perfectly buttery, it was definitely one of the best kougin amans I’ve had in the city. Their cakes were delicious as well since they weren’t overly sweet (I did prefer the sesame yuzu over the other one since it was a rare flavor profiling) but I think their pastries are worth trying more than their cakes in my opinion!

My first time here and everything was so beautifully made. I came here during Chinese New Years week, and so there were a lot of delicious Asian flavours like black sesame. They also had black sesame latter which had a lot of black sesame taste to it. Definitely get their kouign amann. It was very good. The puddings were not too sweet, velvety smooth and tasty. Everything I got was great and delicious. I would definitely come back when I'm in the city.

These are the best cookies you can get in the United States hands down. This is cookie perfection. I’m a fat guy and I know what I’m talking about. Pick them up at the store or have them shipped to you like I did. I will be ordering more. Mmm.

I love Hot Cookie!!!! They always have the freshest cookies, and I love the catchy names. The cookies are always very reasonable and sometimes you can get some day old cookies for a discount.

Amazing cookies! Highly recommend the toffee chocolate chip cookies (2nd pic, front). Delicious and crispy. Quite pricey but the cookies are loaded with goodies, so it makes for a fun occasional treat.

Wow, wow, wow.... hands down and by far the best cookie I've eaten. We were staying just down the street and could smell the deliciousness as we walked down the street, we had to go in and find out what smelled so amazing. Best decision of our entire trip. The fresh made cookies were phenomenal. I have told everyone about them. I'll definitely be going back today before heading to the airport. I only wish we could get it in TN. So yummy!!

Made it here just in time. The cookies were delicious! Be sure to get yours warmed!!!! Great customer service! Oh, the novelty treats are the icing on top!!!

I renamed this place to the “burnt cookie”. I ordered bunch overpriced $7 burnt cookie off Uber eats tried eating them but the hard burnt dry cookies were terrible. I brought them to the store showed them and the girl told me no. She will not exchange even one burnt cookie for a not so burnt cookie. The overcook their cookies so you have to trust me to save your money and do not waste it like I did mine for some worst cookies over ever had.

These cookies were absolute delicious! I definitely recommend you stop by to check them out especially if you are with kids. They are so affordable are warm. We bought around 36 cookies and my favorite one was the salted caramel fudge one.

We got the pumpkin muffins, the sourdough croissant, a pecan roll and a daily special pizza. The muffin was the only thing that was worth the wait in line. It was soft and sweet with little bits of sugar on top. The croissant had that bad sour chemical taste. The pecan roll had raises in it which threw off the taste and texture of what would have been a very tasty roll. The pizza was better than Costco but not more than double the price good.

my new fav bakery! i love how many options they have without egg!!!! the scones were absolutely perfect, not too sweet and buttery. the handheld focaccias and breads were really good as well!! the only thing i wish they had done better was offer small sides of cheese, butter, or some topping for the items so we wouldn’t have to purchase a large jar of cream cheese for one small pastry. other than that, i love this place!!!

Line out the door, very busy, and for a good reason! Absolutely delicious everything! Fresh out of the oven, and selling like the hot commodities they literally were. 10/10 would go again and every day if I lived close enough!

I found this bakery by coincidence and could not be happier. Cute little shop with both savoury and sweet options. I really like their Wolverine Roll, a little roll with dried fruit and nuts. Great place if you are looking for a snack after spending time in the golden gate park.

This is a must. We cannot come to San Francisco without making a stop. Had the daily pizza special - mushroom and Gruyère cheese - it was heavenly. Also suggest grabbing some of their breadsticks. Imagine the best pizza crust you’ve ever had topped with butter and parm. You can’t go wrong

I really like the corn cherry scones and bran muffins. Pizza is best when it’s very fresh, so eat there or get a half bake and warm it at home. The cookies are quite chewy—would prefer them slightly more tender but they are still fine. I also enjoyed a honey wheat bun here. Bottom line is that this is a fine bakery that really knows how to put out good products.

Currant scone was not bad. You grab the one you like yourself, and pour yourself drip coffee.

Wanted to visit place so many times and finally made it here today! It is a tiny shop that has a trendy design. Very cute and modern. They got a good selection of both sweet and savory, and I opted for their sweet choices this time. Their apple cream donut was very good. Not overly sweet and the apple cream inside was fresh. Finishing it won’t make your tastebuds full of sugar, so I liked it. Got their matcha croissant but have yet tried. I fee that I will like it. The size was small, and I got both for $8.1. It is on the pricey side, so -1 star overall.

Favorite bakery in SF. A little bit of a sketchy area though. I went with my child and a lady on the walk up the street to the bakery literally tried to take her out of my husband’s arms. So be aware of the area and your surroundings while there. We go at 9:00am and get the pastries fresh including the famous Crufin. Everything we have tried here has been amazing.

Went to visit San Francisco to see relatives here all the way from Toronto. And this was my first stop!! We had to wait for almost 30 mins with the long line up. But totally worth it! Absolutely delicious. Please open a store in Toronto Canada!

Excellent pastries! The croissant was buttery yet fluffy. Both the savory and sweet tarts were interesting and delicious. Best to go in the earlier hours of the morning, between 8 to 10. By 11 most of it would be sold out.

I’ve been waiting forever to come out to the city and ridiculously stand in line and now I finally got to try the Cruffin!!! The line for the cruffins doesn’t open until 9:00AM and we got there around 8:20AM on a Saturday morning. The actual open time for the rest of the bakery is 8:00AM. When we finally arrived to the front, we got our limit of 2 and then went to the registers to pay. The verdict? Worth the one time standing in line for 40 minutes to try it, but it wasn’t anything super impressive. The flavor of the day was a coffee caramel which was pretty good, but the cruffin itself was a sweet pastry covered in more sugar shaped like a muffin. It wasn’t anything that super impressed me and I don’t know why I wake up early and wait in line for these things. I also got some other pastries and I would have to pass on most of their croissants (matcha green tea croissant, bacon and onion croissant, spinach, mushroom and feta croissant, chocolate chip cookie dough croissant…). I had high expectations since this place is so popular, but the croissants were not as buttery and flaky as I had hoped. I also tried their donut which the flavor was unique (spiced pineapple), but the donut itself was just okay. The cookies on the other hand – OMG – I would come back for that. They are chewy on the inside and just a little crisp on the outside and had great flavors! Overall, I was a little disappointed to be honest, but I can finally check trying the cruffin off my list.

We expected a long line, but there was only one person ahead of us. We peered into the display window only to find 4 chocolate cherry sticky buns and a small stack of cornflake cookies left. Mystery solved. We were far too late in getting a cruffin at 2:30pm, so we settled for the chocolate cherry sticky bun. The sticky bun did not disappoint. It was crispy on the outside and wonderfully flaky on the inside. The middle was filled with slightly tart cherries that paired well with the dark chocolate drizzle.

I've probably been here more times than I should. I just can't help myself. From the infamous cruffin, to their buttery croissants, to savory danishes, and cookies too. Oh and donuts that rotate as well. Everything here is satisfying and will keep you coming back for more....well at least that's what it does for me. So far my favorite things have been their almond stuffed cruffin (the cruffins change quarterly, so do the donuts.) I'm glad I live here because it's nice to stop in during the week. Even during the week the line can get long. At 9am is when they start serving cruffins and it's first come first serve. Once they run out, they run out. They don't make any more for the day, so get there around 8:40am if you plan on getting a cruffin. I can't even imagine what it's like on the weekends. The have the infamous "I got backed in San Francisco sign." Great photo op after you purchase your goods. Back to the baked goodness, I love the ham and cheese croissant ($5) , the strawberry jalapeño bear claw -runs about $4.5, and their savory bread pudding ($4). Definitely worth a try if you are visiting. Staff are friendly and the line goes by quickly. Not really any seating inside, except a few stools by the window, so be prepared to stand in the street while you eat your delicious goodies.

Awesome bakery. Definitely coming back to try out their other pastries. Got the yuzu egg salad sandwich. The meal was surprisingly light, a great way to start the day. The croissant was incredibly flaky and the egg salad filling was delicious with just the right amount of kick. Friendly employees and very fast service. Highly recommend coming here!

Been a fan for over a decade and their quality and standards are still top notch. Delicious pastries, plates, coffee and drinks. I can't recommend this place enough, and the Rebel Within with the soft boiled egg is still a game-changer to this day. I'm shocked no other bakery or cafe has tried their own version.

I’ve had this place on my bucket list for months, and finally went in today for the famous rebel within. It was…just good! I don’t know what I expected — so maybe I am not doing the place justice because I overhyped it in my head — but the muffin was just okay. I wish it had a bigger contrast: crispier outside fluffier inside. Flavour was mild, but the pink salt helped A LOT. Happy I tried it, not something I would crave again. The place itself is lovely, the staff was kind, and all the other pastry items looked delicious!

Craftsman and Wolves has a beautiful storefront, chill ambiance, great coffee, and impeccable pastries. When I regained the ability to digest lactose again, this bakery was the first I turned to and have continued to do so. They make the fiddly and intricately flavored entremets that an average American might not realize that their life has been missing. Your life is not yet complete if you've not tried any or all of the entremets. Their triple chocolate croissant is absolutely lovely. The tiramichoux is superb. The rebel within scotch eggs are yummy, filling, and were safe for me back when I was limiting my dairy intake to just hard cheeses. The Budino bar is one of the loveliest desserts I've ever had.

The worst bakery in town I guest. every thing taste like over night. The chocolate croissant is nasty, cold and sticky but hard, the inside filling of the chocolate is not fresh and hard like a rock! Like chewing Chocolate chips, it is totally separate from the croissant. The Kouign Amann here is a joke. Trader Joe's puff pastry work better then it. It is cold and hard and not crispy at all, greasy, oily but tasteless. Like using so what cheap or fake butter. They are famous for the egg muffin but it is out...but base on other bread quality, i doubt it will be good... Will never come back.

My friend and I are in town for Outside Lands and heard about this bakery so we checked it out for breakfast. We got the biscuits and gravy, yogurt bowl, & rebel muffin. The rebel muffin led me to the 5 stars it was so soft and flavorful. The yogurt bowl had homemade granola which added a great crunch. The biscuits and gravy were yummy just a lot of mushrooms in gravy fyi. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cute & yummy bakery on your weekend brunch.

Blown away by the avocado toast. Fancy toasts are common in Bay Area but this one is the best value for sure. Mound of ‘cado, poached egg, crispy onions, carrots, soft cheese (drool).

WOW! I got the Egg Salad Sandwich open faced on an English muffin, and let me just say this....Few things in life that are this simple are this extraordinary! While on my way out to the ocean I though I'd grab a quick bite to hold me over till lunch, so I whipped into the Devil's Teeth Baking Company for a light breakfast sandwich, and like I said WOW it was Amazing! 5 Stars ☆☆☆☆☆

4.5/5 for the breakfast sandwich. The buttermilk biscuit was so good and flavorful. The egg and bacon with the biscuit was a really good combo, would recommend if you’re in the sunset area

Excuse me that I didn't her their name but today's cashier and kitchen staff were hella welcoming & happily made 2 Specials to-go in about 5 minutes. Luckily, I came in at a time without a line. We enjoyed ours by the dock of the bay! Thanks again :)

incredibly decent breakfast sandwich despite the price, and never had a biscuit. that was so perfect and that it wasn't dry nor was it greasy, and the scramble egg was like two in thick they know how to make a meal

Best damn breakfast sandwich evah! Buttery fluffy biscuit with two eggs, bacon, avocado, and sauce. Fast line and outside seating.

My favorite bakery and breakfast spot in the SF. They’re open early, have good coffee drinks, and their baked goods are to die for. The special breakfast sandwich is super tasty. Atmosphere is always lively and welcoming. They only have outdoor seating, but it’s comfy enough and gives you a true Outer Sunset experience.

Got their cinnamon roll which is more of a sticky date bun (?). A little dense but still love it! Have tried the breakfast sandwich, carrot cake, and tomato soup at the other location as well - All very solid

A charming bakery with a stunning selection of cakes, sweets, and savory items. The interior is uniquely designed and incredibly cute, with beautiful ceramics used for serving—every plate and cup feels thoughtfully chosen and adds to the experience. We opted for the mushroom boureka as a savory treat. The pastry was perfectly flaky and light, and the filling was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. That said, I couldn’t take my eyes off the rest of the baked goods and cakes—they all looked irresistible. We also had an espresso and a mint tea, which was served with fresh mint leaves—both refreshing and comforting. A lovely touch: drinks come with a piece of halva, offering the perfect bite of sweetness to enjoy alongside your beverage. If you're visiting San Francisco, this bakery is definitely worth a stop. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger, and everything from the food to the ambiance is crafted with care. Highly recommended!

I ordered an array of desserts. Each one better than the last. Highly recommend the rosemary lemon curd tart, pistachio butter cookie, and mahlab. We had ours to go but while there the staff was very friendly.

Obsessed with this place. Decor is so cute and trendy, the chocolate babka is delicious and so was the coffee. You definitely should have your coffee and pastries to stay. Comes on the most beautiful ceramics. They also sell it in-store.

Wow…just wow. Several of my friends recommended that I try out Loquat when I moved to San Francisco, and I can absolutely see why — it fully lives up to the hype with its outstanding pastries, great coffee, and amazing vibes. The pastries, to quote a French friend, “rival the ones available in Paris,” although I’m not sure what she’s comparing them to given everything is Mediterranean inspired. For a savory treat, I adore their feta and eggplant boureka, which has a remarkably rich and flavorful filling encased in a buttery, flakey shell. It’s topped with a very generous helping of poppy seeds, so be prepared to have seeds in your teeth for the rest of the day, but it’s 100% worth it. They have tons of amazing sweet treats, ranging from croissants to cakes, but their classic is the salted chocolate babka muffin. It is literally to die for — the bread is perfectly flaky, with just the right amount of butter to make it rich but not overwhelming. The dark chocolate is wonderful and not overly sweet, but any sugar is balanced out by the salt. Genuinely the only thing wrong with this is that I can’t have it every single day. Beyond the classics, they also have a rotating set of seasonal items that are all wonderful. I overheard a server chatting with the table next to mine and describing a seasonal dish featuring a summer Italian hot pepper. She got the brunch version of the dish with full peppers, eggs, and bread, but they also have a pastry-fied version in the form of a boureka. Literally everything is outstanding, and I cannot wait to make my way back here!

This place was so nice. The coffee was delicious and I tried their Mahlab Cake, which was very fluffy and moist. though all the pastries look so good! The only thing is that is a little corner and seating is not so easy. Yeah this year is very nice and people so nice!

Update: Visited again recently and tried a meringue cookie and pistachio tea cake. Everything was outstanding as usual, though I did notice the menu hadn’t changed much from several months ago (cakes were mostly the same). Continues to be a great place to stop for a sweet treat, though regulars may get tired of the menu. ——————- Absolutely worth a visit! I tried the salted chocolate babka and one of their seasonal savory turnovers (bourekas), which on this day was a squash and cheese variety dusted in za’atar. I got a seasonal special red bean sesame babka to go! The babka melted in the mouth and wasn’t too sweet with the salt coming through subtly. The warm boureka though was next-level with a laminated dough that was crisp and then practically melted in the mouth. I will be back to try their cakes and prepared plates!

Their chocolate cake is to die for!! It was soooo good 🤤 I also loved their dishes, the aesthetic is so cute. Will definitely be back!

Hands down one of the best croissants that you can get in San Francisco. Their almond croissant is absolutely amazing if you love a buttery, flaky, sweet, amazingness in every bite. Their lines do get pretty long, but they go surprisingly fast! Staff is super efficient and friendly despite the rush and I've never had a bad experience. There are a couple of seats both inside and out but it's usually full. This location is in a little bit more of a sketchier place (civic center) than the other ones but it's worth checking out!

Arsicault Bakery is an absolute golden find, especially if you're a fan of croissants. It’s a casual, cozy spot that serves what might be the best croissants I've ever had. I was in the mood to explore and tried the chocolate, ham & cheese, and plain croissants - every single one was delicious. I was genuinely surprised by how good the ham & cheese croissant was, and I'm so glad I ordered it. The quality here is truly unexpected and top-tier. A good heads-up: you'll likely see a medium-sized line when you arrive, but don't let that deter you. It moves at a decent pace since most people are getting takeout. They do have some indoor and outdoor seating if you want to stay. For an unbelievably good croissant, this place is a definite must-try. I can't recommend it enough.

Literally when you walk in you will get a whiff of that bakery aroma (the smell of bread and sweet goodness). I love all the pastries but my favorite ones are the almond croissant, plain, and the chocolate. I also like their morning bun. My absolute favorite is Kouign Aman!!! But they also have savory on the menu like ham and cheese croissants and quiches. If you want a certain item come first thing in the morning because they run out of stuff. There is dining on the inside and outside if you want to sit, chat, and have coffee. The place is nice and clean but it can look better. But it doesn’t stop me from coming in to get my croissants:). The lines can get long but it moves fast. So you must decide what you want. The price is standard (meaning not too cheap not expensive). But it’s affordable and very good.

Arsicault is as yummy as what everyone is saying. My fave is the ham & cheese croissant…very good & flakey! Share the chocolate almond croissant as it is big and heavy. Their McAllister shop has a constant line but it moves fast. Outdoor seating is a huge plus! I’d come back again…and again and will try other goodies! 😋👍🏼 P.S. I had to buy soda across the street as they don’t sell them.

The best pastry I’ve had in SF… granted I haven’t tried every pasty spot, but it’s good. Check it out! The almond croissant and the ham and cheese croissant are amazing.

One of the best bakeries in San Francisco, hands down! Everything is always so fresh, perfectly crispy, and full of flavor. The apple turnover and chocolate croissant are absolutely mind-blowing. I go here almost every day and never get tired of it. The staff is always friendly, kind, and super helpful, which makes the experience even better. You can truly feel the love in every bite. I’m obsessed!

My favorites were the hazelnut blackberry almond croissant (absolutely delicious) and the kouig amman! i wouldn’t say the drip coffee was very good. however, i will definitely come back to try some other menu items! service was great too. Edit: finally tried their famous almond croissant and it was to die for!

We had lunch here on a week day. Definitely come before the lunch rush because parking is very limited. We ordered and took a seat outside they call your name for drinks and food separately to pick up. The outdoor patio is nice but can get very windy and cold. The food was tasty, but I'm not sure I would pay $18 for a breakfast sandwich. Other than taking your order and calling your name for pick up there was very little interaction with the staff.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE breadbelly. It’s has the BEST matcha lattes in the city in my opinion, even better than some of the matcha I had in Japan, which is A LOT. I have been trying to find a matcha that tops this place and very few places come close. I want to gatekeep this place so much and for as long as I can but it’s becoming increasingly popular these days. So expect long lines on weekends. I’m just sad I can’t go everyday because it’s so far out in Richmond. Yes the prices are pricey ($8+ for matcha) and yes they charge an employee mandate fee. But it’s worth it. I also love their Kaya toast and bun. Their rotating seasonal drinks are great too. 10/10

Very delicious blueberry tart! It has a great texture with the crunch of the croissant and the almonds in the crust. Loved the flavor, and would get again. My husband also enjoyed his plain croissant.

Absolute must visit. Kaya toast so unique and tasty. The Korean cornbread with egg was the same. The sandwiches looked soooooooooo good. Next time in town, I will be back.

Small local cafe with interesting items. We tried the kaya toast, shrimpwich, and summer corn bun. I wanted to try everything bun and matcha drinks but they don't have those now. The kaya toast tastes good and smells nice but can be sweet if eating it all. Summer corn bun is their new item instead of former buns and is just okay. Shrimp sandwich is also fine (expected flavor) but pricey. For coffee, we tried Karl's cappuccino and 50/50. Karl's is London fog tea flavored and tastes interesting. 50/50 is black tea + decaf + condensed milk and on the sweet side. Limited indoor seating but more outside (just colder). Overall fun to try but not good enough to come again.

was stoked to try this place. and it hit in all the right ways! what the heck is goin on with this spot. it’s so good. food was creative and fresh and delicious. stunning and interesting and ultimately just so flavorful and weird and visually stimulating. had a wonderful time sitting in the salty warm air eating their fare.

Wow - I'm not usually in this neighborhood but just so happen to come across this place when other plans feel through. Very interesting food combinations that all come together really well. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

I would have given 4 stars if it weren't for the small piece of hair I saw stuck to the bottom of the cupcake. At the prices they charge, I expect the food to be clean at least. Very disappointing, because I really like their scones, which come in a variety of flavors and taste great. The shortbreads are a bit hard for my taste, but nevertheless delicious. Even if you don't find any hair on the cupcakes, I still wouldn't recommend them. They're stored in individual boxes; that means, they're less fresh. And indeed, they are very dry. Don't think I want to visit again.

Many of the yummy Batter Bakery treats in a cute little kiosk on the slope of a steep hill right in Downtown San Francisco! Get there early since they do run out of the more tasty treats. But a great reward for hiking up California after or before lunch! Favorites are the cupcakes and pound cake style breads.

Convenient location if you work in FiDi, fresh baked goods everyday! I love the Lavender Sea Salt mini shortbread cookies!!!! Their bakery is in Russian Hill (Polk St), but I work right across the street from their kiosk. Tip: take a look at the chalk A-board outside for special items they have that day! I almost walked by the other day till I stopped after seeing the Banana Nutella muffin! The girl said they don't have it available everyday :D I also get the mint chocolate cookie when they have it too.

I have been purchasing a package of shortbread cookies @ $5.75 over the last several months and getting a stamp for every purchase. When I came in to redeem the card @ $3.50, I was told that I could not apply the $3.50 value to a purchase of shortbread cookies contrary to what the person told me when I purchased the 12th package of shortbread cookies. Another example of 'read the fine print' - at least Peet's and other food vendors honor their free cards.

This quaint little cylinder of baked goodness is a rich respite amid the bustle of FiDi. Honey Fig Goat Cheese Scone this morning was perfect - crisp outside, rich buttery inside, subtle sweetness. One of the best scones I've ever had the pleasure of consuming!

The people that work here are so kind and helpful! Everything is always fresh baked and delicious. Their cupcakes and cookies are a huge hit at our office. The location is very convenient. Great place all around! I wouldn't change a thing.

Expensive treats but they are indeed tasty. Various choices of shortbread cookies, brownies, etc... Not a pleasing location to shop though, go to the other one on Polk St instead.

Had a fantastic four course meal here for my husband’s birthday. Fancy with white table cloths, delicious wine, and a pre-set menu and price ($125 pp). They brought out a beautiful birthday dish. We had a great service, and the truffle pasta was a highlight.

Great service and vibe. However, food is not impressive, at least for the three-course dinner that two of us tried. The appetizers had some salty or fruity flavors, but not something that made us feel excited. Main entrees we chose were dry-aged duck and grilled cod - I can taste the flavor of the meat for both, rather than much interesting flavor from the seasonings. In other words, I won't remember them after the dish. Desserts (both the plum dish and the strawberry sorbet) were too sweet and the fruits were treated with syrups rather than fresh ones. My favorite one is actually the complimentary ice cream sandwich for our anniversary. Another thing to note - complimentary bread only comes with one piece per person. I was not hungry before coming to the dinner so was not counting on the dinner to feed me full. Yet, the amount of food would definitely not satisfy a normal dinner for most people. Among all the pre-fixe meals we had before at non-Michelin and Michelin-star restaurants, this never happened, so I think I should warn people of this. Given the price ($125 per person, with additional $10+ CA employee benefit fees, additional tax and fees) of over $160 per person, i think the restaurant should really improve the food quality and portion.

The service was phenomenal, but our entrees were quite frankly inedible. I really wish I had said something, but we were celebrating a birthday, so I didn’t want to tarnish the evening. The attached photo was of my entree, it’s poached salmon. There was absolutely no seasoning, my friends and I were fighting over the salt that came with the table butter. Our bill was over $900 for four people. I really wish we had a better experience considering how much we were looking forward to this meal and how much we had spent.

Came to Spruce and really enjoyed the food. The fancy corn velouté soup was so tasty and comforting. The homemade pasta was packed with truffle flavor, definitely a highlight. Only downside for me was the jasmine tea. It was super strong and left me feeling a bit jittery afterwards. Overall though, great food, nice vibe, and worth checking out if you’re in the area!

The staff are always the cornerstone of any notable restaurant experience, and Spruce’s team genuinely delivered. Our server, Michael, was so kind, and his attentiveness really made our night. Every dish was beautifully and creatively presented, but our favorites were the Yukon potatoes and the Wagyu New York Strip. As someone with celiac disease, I felt incredibly well cared for. The staff was knowledgeable, which helped with restaurant anxiety regarding gluten. Really thoughtful modifications were made to ensure our meals were both entirely gluten-free, which did not compromise the flavor! That especially can be hard to find in a restaurant. :) Really really enjoyed once again, could not recommend more. Concerning the first picture, I did dim the light a bit! It’s not that dark in person, but it is a dimmer & more intimate setting.

Very nice restaurant with top class service and elegant atmosphere. The food was the best part: everything was perfectly cooked and presented . Would love to come back and have the black truffle pasta again! The giant cookie was also delicious 🤤

Service was great and the food was good, although nothing to write home about. However, their wine selection is impressive and they offer a good variety.

Tartine never stops exceeding my expectations. Every time I visit, I’m blown away. The sourdough bread is absolutely spectacular—perfectly tangy and elastic, a true testament to quality craftsmanship. All the ingredients are top-notch. The turkey sandwich was simply sublime. I especially want to highlight the hospitality and service of Juan. It’s clear he’s a genuinely kind person—gracious, attentive, and made us feel completely at home. His warmth truly elevated the experience. We’ll definitely be coming back to Tartine.

The croissant was so good with a proper crunch followed by soft buttery layers. The ham and cheese worked well together to make this a savory bite but it was surprising that the jalapeño slices were essentially like eating the raw pepper (not great - but overlooking it because the croissant was so good!). I wish the croissant was warmed as it probably would have taken it to the next level. That aside, lovely atmosphere at the Manufactory with lots of seating and natural light. They also seem to be using plates from the neighboring ceramics shop which was a nice touch. There was a short queue outside the building on a Saturday afternoon but it moved quickly.

13 of us dined here on a Saturday night for a birthday celebration. We had the fixed chefs menu, and to say that no one leaves hungry is an understatement! There was such an amazing variety of appetizers, salads, pizza, and desserts! We had five courses with 13 different menu items brought to the table shared family style. Our server was attentive and made sure we all had a special evening. I would highly recommend Tartine for any occasion if you want delicious food, a nice atmosphere, and excellent service!

Everything was delicious! We got the baked salmon tartine, omlette, a goat cheese fig pastry and coffee. We cleaned our plates! There is a bit of a wait to get in an order but TOTALLY worth it!! One of the best Brunch spots in the bay for sure.

Came here on a Saturday morning and wow the line was so long! Good: - The bread with butter was amazing even though it was just bread! - The egg sandwich was amazing - really liked the combo of cheese with the bread - The seating is plentiful and it's very beautiful inside, modern and upscale vibes Bad: - The line is definitely long, we waited about 45 min to get inside - The staff are always walking around and watching to make sure people aren't sitting for too long - it's nice but it's also a bit anxiety inducing Overall this place was beautiful inside, and glad that I finally got a chance to eat here!

Great option for brunch. The food was amazing and their wine options were fantastic for breakfast wine! There was a line outside but we realized it was line to order not to grab a table. The bread is delicious as well. My friend got the fig pastry and said it was perfect.

The sourdough bread is amazing. Super light and crunchy on the outside and moist and soft on the inside. A must order. The kale Caesar is a nice balanced Caesar salad. Would recommend. The crab gnocchi was super pillow-y soft and a lighter creaminess. The bit of lemon really helped the dish. In order of recommendation: bread > kale salad > crab gnocchi.

Super fresh fortune cookies but the lines get long and busy quite often from all the tourists and frequent patrons. Its located in a side alley in Chinatown but you can't miss it because its easily spotted with groups of tourists always around the shop. Its fun to watch the workers do their magic in the back of the shop.

We absolutely LOVE the Fortune Cookie Factory. I’ve been coming here for about 20+ years because they are fresh and made right here. You will get free samples when you walk in and you can watch the cookies made right in front of you. In 20 years I’ve never been here on a Saturday - the one Saturday the line was all the way down the alley! I recommend going on a weekday if you can. My kids love it - I love it and the cookies get eaten so quickly.

The Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory is a fun place to visit. The cookies are made fresh daily and taste absolutely delicious. They also give free samples to those waiting in line to enter. Prices are reasonable and the cookies come in an assortment of flavors. You can even do custom fortune cookies in individual boxes. It's such a cute gift idea.

My friend, Robin and I visited the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Store. We got an opportunity to watch the workers make fortune cookies. They smelled so yummy and the taste matched the smell, ummm. She bought six bags of fortune cookies and they gave her two more for her purchase. I had never seen chocolate or strawberry fortune cookies before, a big wow moment. I absolutely will be going back next time I visit San Francisco.

Off the beaten path in an alley is the best fortune cookies ever made. One step in the door and you are handed a sample. Small shop allows you to watch the cookie folding. Was just amazing. Make your own fortune for someone in an adorable box. And the selection of cookies to choose from…AMAZING. My only regret…not buying more while I was there, you can’t order online for shipping. Where do I find these gems out in the real world? You must stop and stock up!!

The Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory is a fun and quick stop if you’re exploring Chinatown in San Francisco. It’s a tiny shop, often packed with tourists eager to see how fortune cookies are made by hand using old-school machines. Because of the constant crowd, your visit will likely be very brief—maybe 3 minutes at most to watch the workers in action. Still, it’s a unique glimpse into the process behind those familiar cookies you get at Chinese restaurants. You can buy pre-packaged fortune cookies here, with prices ranging from $8 to $12 per bag. It’s a bit pricey, but you’re also paying for the novelty and the experience. Great for a quick photo and a snack, but don’t expect a full-on tour.

I've had a wonderful experience and a terrible experience here. Wonderful experience was when there was no line and my kids had a chance to watch the fortune cookies get made for an extended period of time and I had a chance to take a bunch of photos. Terrible experiences on Fourth of July weekend when there was a huge line and we were pushed through like cattle and greeted by a pushy, rude Woman who basically shoves a bunch of stuff in my bag without even checking in and then rudely asked for payment. I would still come back here again but my experience has been forever soured.

My husband and I came to San Francisco today from Sacramento and chose Cinderella Bakery & Café for lunch. We ordered borscht and fried dumplings — everything was delicious and very home-style! Authentic Ukrainian food that brought back warm memories. We especially loved that there’s a wide variety of baked goods, pastries, and Ukrainian dishes and drinks. The staff was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the outdoor seating area with covered benches — cozy and surprisingly dust-free even though it’s near the road. Portions are generous — you’ll definitely leave full. The only downside was that the tables were a bit sticky and the interior felt a bit dated — though that kind of added to the nostalgic charm. If you’re craving real Ukrainian food, I definitely recommend stopping by.

This place is definitely popular for a reason. They have extensive menus with Russian dishes. Non-Russian items look fabulous as well. My friend recommended Fried Perosky (a kind of bread with stuffing). It tastes great when it's warm. When I bring it back home and toast until it is slightly crispy, it is even better! I am looking forward to trying many more things there.

Stopped by Cinderella, a German bakery in Richmond, and it’s such a charming spot. The pastries and desserts were excellent and tasted authentic (Not that I could tell), with a good variety to choose from. The place itself has a cozy, welcoming feel and the staff were friendly. It does get busy, so expect a line, but the food and atmosphere make it worth the wait. A great place to try if you’re in the area and want something authentic and delicious.

Authentic, affordable, tasty Russian cuisine paired with big-portioned and wide variety of sweets and pastries. What’s not to like? I’ve been here a few times and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend the Borscht soup.

Cinderella Bakery Cafe is an absolute gem and my top choice for fresh pastries and coffee. The moment you step inside, the warm smell of baked goods and the inviting atmosphere make you feel at home. Their pastries are always perfectly fresh, flaky, and full of flavor, while the coffee is rich and smooth. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the welcoming vibe. Whether you’re here for breakfast, a sweet treat, or a cozy break in your day, this place is a true delight and well worth the visit.

Café Cinderella is a great spot on San Francisco’s culinary map. They serve delicious Russian and Eastern European food and desserts. The Polish pierogi stuffed with cheese are truly authentic, and the Russian soups, like solyanka, are outstanding. Portions are generous and very filling, and the prices are quite reasonable. What I also really appreciated is that, despite the low prices and casual, bar-like atmosphere, they still serve everything on ceramic plates with real metal cutlery. Overall, I can highly recommend this place.

Small bakery and cafe spot. Their borscht seems to be one of the most popular dishes, as I have seem quite a few people eating it anytime I come by to grab an Eclair. Which, by the way, are great! Hard to find a decent eclair in SF, and this place definitely scratches that itch! All sitting is in the outside, so if its a windy or rainy day, you might want to consider take out.

Desserts: 5/5 Service: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Overall: I have to say that there are some definite hits from this place. The extended review... Desserts: Milky Way Bombe - 5/5 - This is a nice combination of textures and flavors. For the most part it's all chocolate but again a nice assortment of textures. You get a crispy shell, creamy mousse, and fluffy cake on the inside. Red Velvet Cake - 5/5 - A very moist cake base and fluffy and tasty cream cheese frosting. I have to say this is one the best ones I've had. Oreo Cake - 5/5 - Just like the Red Velvet Cake, the cake is very moist and tasty. It also has a similar cream cheese frosting with some oreos in it. SO YUM!!!! Raspberry St German Eclair - 3.5/5 - the texture was consistent with standard eclairs and the filling was quite nice. What I loved was the different flavor of the traditional eclair. Service: 3.5/5 - Friendly service. Ambiance: 4/5 - It has a good space for taking a seat to enjoy yourself once this pandemic is over.

This bakery is a true gem for anyone with a sweet tooth and a sense of adventure. The cupcakes stand out with wonderfully unique flavors—each bite is both exciting and delicious. Beyond cupcakes, the fresh croissants, buttery pastries, quiche, and artisan bread are all equally satisfying and proof of the bakery’s skill and creativity. Prices are refreshingly affordable, making it easy to indulge in a variety of treats.

I absolutely love their Financier Tartlets! The cardamom knot is also great and their brownies are yummy too! I come here for decadent treats to keep me strong throughout the tough work day!

Absolutely delectable. Talk about a great local place. Amazing fresh slice of carrot cake and solid cold brew. Wish much success

The cake was fresh and tasty, but the decoration and writing were poor. I wouldn’t order for an event again. Had to wait over 20mins just to pick up.

First things first: I bought a 6” strawberry cake for a birthday (which was INCREDIBLY tasty, so fresh and good! Highly recommend— the buttercream is the perfect sweetness). Glad to support a local bakery as opposed to Whole Foods 😊 The in-store experience was kind of chaotic though. I went on Saturday morning around 9am and there was a long line outside. That’s fine, but while waiting we all had to listen to constant uncomfortable heckling from someone sitting by the door, saying “go in, go in!!!” even though it was very crowded inside. Even when going inside, it was pretty confusing and you’re constantly dodging people left and right who are shuffling around either waiting for part of their paid order or a preorder pickup or something. It felt like the whole order system could benefit with a little more structure to help with the volume of people inside. Staff were doing their best despite the rush! I also picked up a small fruit tart and morning bun when I was there, but those were kind of a letdown. 4 stars for the amazing cake!

Super duper fun times at this bakery. They have lots of yummy foods and also bake goods. I personally ordered the m and m cookie the lemon tarts the pecan cookie. The people that worked there were super nice and they even put our food in bags! I throughly enjoyed my time at this bakery and I will definitely be going again to this fine establishment.

Lovely sourdough bread options 😋 all the veggie pizzas are delicious. I enjoy the foccacias and the salsa verde veggie egg

It’s a nice bakery in the San Francisco downtown. Spacious with a variety of breads and pattiseries. They have a nice cafe type menu too. You can try out the pasta or the sandwich or the salad etc

Randomly discovered while walking on Valencia, a great place with quality pizza slices with unique topping combos. A lot of bakery items ran out by 4pm so I would recommend going in earlier. Great staff also.

Gotta be honest, it was a bit disappointing of a visit for me. I got the vegan focaccia and it was alright, but nothing remarkable. I also asked if it could be warmed up and the cashier just told me no. I later learned it was bc they don’t have microwaves available (just the ovens all the things bake in), so the only hot items are the pizza of the day and possibly the soup, but the nature of the checkout interaction left me less than happy. As consolation there is a nice enough seating area in front of the shop, where I had some good conversation with friends and watched other city folk go about their afternoon.

Wonderful bakery with fantastic pizza and sweet options. The pecan twist is so good and the pizza is incredible. Great spot.

Quality bakery with a diverse selection of goodies. I enjoyed the strawberry scone and jalapeño bread sticks

For today’s breakfast my friend took my girlfriend and I to Arizmendi Bakery since it’s her go-to spot with her dad. Right off the bat, you get the smell of fresh baked bread coming from the displays of sweet and savory pastries. Today was fairly empty with not a long wait line. Per usual, I was very indecisive on what to choose. I knew I wanted to get something sweet and something savory. The savory choice was pretty easy; I like mushrooms, onions, and spinach and the focaccia satisfies that. The sweet stuff on the other hand was a bit tricky; there are scones, muffins, cookies, and more. I was leaning toward the molasses ginger cookie but ultimately chose the chocolate thing since it seemed more appetizing to my girlfriend. First off, the focaccia is delicious. There savory-saltiness of the mushrooms really stands out and I’m a big fan of that personally. The focaccia is great and chewy, perfect to get in a quick jaw workout. I usually prefer focaccias warmed/toasted but even at ambient temperature it was so good. The chocolate thing was also good but not as good as the focaccia. I know we’re comparing apples and oranges here but still. The Chocolate Thing’s texture is soft and fluffy, a nice contrast with the focaccia chewiness. The only “issue” I have with the Chocolate Thing is the amount of chocolate. There were only a few chocolate chips sparse throughout the bread. It didn’t seem enough to warrant the name “Chocolate Thing”. The bread overall was really good though. If it didn’t have any chocolate it’d be great for a sweet marmalade spread or even a savory sandwich. I likely wouldn’t choose this particular pastry again. I think I’d go with a cookie next time I’m here. On individual baked good basis, I’d rate the focaccia 5/5 and the chocolate thing 4/5 I think. This is probably one of the few times I shouldn’t have listened to my girlfriend and should’ve gone with my gut and gotten the molasses ginger cookie. This review’s obviously only for these two pastries; your mileage may vary with other choices but I assume everything else is up to par. Great place overall, I can see why it’s my friend’s go-to.

This is a candy and bakery shop that sells cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and macarons.

Walking through Hayes Valley, I discovered Miette, a great spot for dessert lovers. They were selling macarons and it was their happy hour, so I took advantage of it. I tried the hazelnut, pistachio, and dulce de leche macarons, and they were all delicious. The staff was very friendly. I'll definitely be back for more macarons.

Minette is a cute French patisserie offering gourmet bakery goods and an assortment of candies. The charming pastel colored space is vibrant and welcoming. I stopped by this patisserie to buy a set of 8 macarons and try their chocolate and Italian meringue cupcake. The set of 8 macarons includes 8 different flavors - 1. Chocolate 2. Pistachio 3. Dulce de Leche 4. Pumpkin 5. Hazelnut 6. Rose geranium 7. Coffee 8. Vanilla Unfortunately, they all look almost similar except for chocolate. The set doesn't come with an info card to mention the different flavors in the box. When my friends and I tried them all, there were some flavors that were easy to tell and some not so much. Rose macaron had a really strong flavor while some others had mild flavors (pistachio and hazelnut) The macarons were a bit dense. The shell wasn't as crunchy. The chocolate and Italian meringue cupcake was decent. The meringue had the right consistency and flavor, but the bread didn't feel as airy and light. The gummy was a nice touch.

If you are looking for a nostalgic sweet shop, look no further than Miette in Hayes Valley. This shop has glass candy jars full of sour, hard and chewy candies. Then there are the baked goods (cookies, cupcakes, bread loafs and macarons)! The pastel decor complements all the goodies so you want to buy more! So have a get together of loved ones and share. Otherwise all this sugar will send you on a high; but it won’t be as good as looking at the sweet faces of your beloved ones when you bring them these treats.

I love this store. My favorites are the homemade caramel. They also have seasonal candies which make great gifts. Excited to learn that they have a store I. The Ferry Building and Jack London Square.

I liked the macaroons from this shop. They were fresh, crispy, and chewy, with a variety of flavors to choose from 🍬 The best part was the happy hour deal, where you can get 50% off on all macaroons from 5pm to 6pm every day. That's a great offer! The location was also convenient, near Hayes and close to many other shops 🚶🏻‍♂️ This place is worth a try for macaroon lovers. As the joke goes, "Quelle est la différence entre un bonbon et un gâteau? Le bonbon est sucré, le gâteau est sucrant" 🇫🇷

This place is what dreams are made of chocolate towers taller then humans! Candy bowls with so many choices it's a challenge to just buy a few delicious treats~~☆☆☆☆☆ They also have a nationally recognized ginger cupcake that is to good to describe what you are missing...

Such a cute little spot! The cafe is small, cozy, and very aesthetic — perfect for a relaxing coffee break. The food was phenomenal. The croissant and danish were fresh, warm, buttery, and perfectly flaky. The hot cocoa was amazing too — not overly sweet, just the right balance with a hint of cinnamon that made it even better. Definitely a gem worth visiting in SF!

Michael is a happy host! Amazing breakfast bagels and pastries. Coffee is strong and delicious. Warm and relaxing atmosphere. Nice touches like fine bone china and flatware. Clean toilet is a big plus!

Super cute spot Nice presentation for oat chai latte Great spice level and first class foam Luv the little spice toppings. Definitely one of the best chai latte in awhile compared to other watery and dull ones from other shops. No vegan baked goods🙁, so can't highly recommend for vegan consumption.

Dear Four and Branch! Your pastries as far from "normal". I've been obsessed with the twice baked pecan&chocolate croissant, this is just a small heaven in the middle of the day. I recommend to go there, you'll feel like home! i just decided to take one to me flight back to Estonia to feel cozy! Take care, Kristina

I wasnt ready for how many pastry options this place had. All of them super delicious sounding and the kind man working there gave me a full breakdown of all the options. I was looking for something savory so I went with the breakfast Danish with the egg. I also tried a Lions mane latte like drink which was delicious. I want to come back and try more !

Saw all the rave reviews and their focus on high quality ingredients so decided try out brunch + pastries at this cute & cozy cafe. Did not disappoint! Prices are mostly justified by good ingredients used and the careful preparation. Breakfast sandy was great, although the patty is on the heavier side. Mushrooms and Gruyère danish was also amazing. Would come back for the pastries and see if they have lighter options!

Family owned clean, beautiful ambience with the best pastries I can recall having since my last trip to Paris! Amazing place to relax have a coffee as it’s not super loud and has lovely seating. I had egg and bacon pastry - AMAZING - while I did 30 min of work. Couldn’t have had a better experience!! ps: the ham is made in house and it’s unbelievable delicious.

The hour-long factory tour led by Graham and first time tour guide trainee Jasper is absolutely worth the price of admission. If you love learning how good it made, if you just love similarly made drinks like wine, beer, and coffee, or if you are simply a nerd and/or a chocolate lover this tour is for you. I don't know how I missed this location, only about a 20 minute walk from the much smaller Valencia location. Absolutely top tier and I will returning specifically to this location for the expanded menu, drinks, and excellent experience from every staff member I encountered. I greatly enjoyed bith the iced house mocha, and the hot European drinking chocolate - talk to your barista if you prefer more or less sweet drinks for customization and recommendations.

such a vibe. the chocolate cream pie is the best. Honestly, you can’t go wrong. Unlimited gourmet marshmallows. the hot chocolate is too sweet for many but perfect for me. The people are kind, the restrooms squeaky clean and the ambiance sublime. Perfect for co working, reliable wifi and delicious sparkling water. It’s a go to for me in the city to ground and create.

You can taste many kind of chocolate drink with good quality, not a fans of the spicy hot chocolate, but the frozen hot chocolate is very good! Also the best s’more ever!

I wish I had more time to do a factory tour here. This place is fantastic. The spiced hot chocolate was amazing. Loved the variety of pastries and goods. Appreciated the ability to nibble on the different chocolate offerings from various locations with their own distinct flavor profiles.

Vegan carrot cake was amazing! Not dry. The mocha coffee had a bold taste. This is definitely for a dark chocolate lover.

We did the chocolate tour and I really enjoyed learning the process, my husband also enjoyed asking lots of questions about the mechanics and engineering of the various machines utilized in the process. The Chocolate ambassador is very knowledgeable. You get a few pieces of chocolate on the tour as well as being able to sample all the bars from different regions without taking the tour. At the end of our tour we received tickets to get a free drink which was a pleasant surprise as we had planned to get a coffee there after and this way we just had to purchase the espresso shots.

Who knew chocolates can taste so differently without any added ingredients besides cocao and sugar. Learnt so much from the factory tour and got to try so many yummy chocolates!

Kantine serves delicious Scandinavian food. They have a wide selection of great-tasting healthy options (sweet porridge, salty porridge, hot smoked trout bowls, seasonal sandwiches) and less healthy but equally delicious pastries. Coffee is ok, the interior is cute as well.

Always a pleasant and delicious visit. I’m often inspired but Kantine’s weekend specials—pastries & dishes. Even with a longer than usual line, I can find a spot to sit and stay for a little while. The staff is friendly and efficient with fulfilling orders, especially on the busiest of weekends.

Brilliant Scandinavian cafe in Hayes Valley, my favorite in the area. They have a very unique selection of pastries and breakfasts. Don’t skip the kardemumma kaffe! The Cardamom morning bun is also delicious.

TLDR great vibes great pastries ok food! The tebirkes croissant was amazing. The cardamon knot was a bit overhyped we found it just ok. Food was mediocre - very aesthetic and healthy but honestly overpriced for what it is (porridge, bread, butter, jam, cheese, egg) like you can just make at home haha there’s nothing special about the flabors. No technique involved either. Just simple healthy ingredients (at least the brunch plate and porridge) so don’t get all the hype tbh. But pastries are amazing!

great food and great atmosphere—perfect for a weekend breakfast / brunch! i got the trout bowl and the cardamom knot and both were tasty and fresh :) will definitely add this spot to the list of my go-to’s!

The best way to find a cool cafe serving great food, just stumbling across it whilst waiting for the local record store to open (at midday! Lazy! 😆). I had the cured trout in a seeded roll with potato crema and salad. Delicious. And as good as anything Ole and Steen can rustle up. Glad I ordered 2 Swedish Caves (crumbly jam-filled treats) as I got most the first one all down myself. Super friendly and handsome staff. Highly recommended.

I usually run in for coffee and their baked goods which are delicious. Their Cardamon Morning Buns, Semlor Bun, a cardamon bun with cream filling, almond croissants, and I love their cookies esp. the Kolasnittar (caramel slices) and their Jam Caves, a Scandinavian Thumbprint. The cafe is a little off the beaten track on Market (away from Downtown), a couple of blocks from Zuni Cafe. Parking is not too bad if you go up the hill away from Market St. It’s cute place with a nice vibe. I intend to have a meal there soon, their plates look delicious with whole grain breads, cheeses, porridges, eggs & salmon. As an aside, they also have a cookbook, Scandinavian from Scratch. I had a couple of questions on a recipe and asked when I happened to stop in for pastries. Nichole, the owner and creator was there and was really nice and helpful troubleshooting the recipe!

It's a nice little place with plenty of options for drinks, pastries, and sandwiches. Friendly service. I got a mushroom focaccia, and it was delicious with great texture.

Met the chef who was very helpful in our decision making process. The chocolate twist was delicious - more savory/bitter than sweet. The rhubarb pop tart made our cheeks pucker a bit but the one of us that loves rhubarb (unsurprisingly) loved it. The pizzas and sandwiches looked very good. Sounds like they do a pizza deal on Tuesdays.

I had high hopes for this bakery after hearing about it six months ago and seeing that they offered my favorite flavor—yellow cake with chocolate frosting. I was so excited to finally order it for my birthday. Unfortunately, the experience left me really disappointed. The cake wasn’t what I expected at all. Instead of being light and fluffy, it was dense and gummy—almost like it hadn’t finished baking. I’ve never ordered from here before, so I’m not sure if that’s just their usual texture, but it definitely didn’t work for me. At $70, I was hoping for something special, and it was frustrating not to have a cake I could truly enjoy on my birthday. Hoping this was just an off day, but unfortunately, it was a complete miss for me.

I’ve been a regular at Black Jet Baking Co. in Bernal Heights for a while now, stopping by at least once a week for my fix of fresh baked goods and excellent coffee. On my latest visit, we grabbed a few sandwiches that hit the spot, along with a coffee bun, a homemade pop tart, and a blueberry scone—all of which were absolutely delicious and perfectly baked. The coffee here is consistently great, with rich flavor that pairs so well with their pastries. If you’re in the neighborhood, this spot is a must-try for anyone who appreciates quality, small-batch baking! Highly recommend.

We’ve partnered with Black Jet Bakery for several large office catering orders, and they’ve been incredible every time. The team is super organized, easy to communicate with, and always punctual. They take the stress out of planning by helping us build a fun, delicious menu that covers all dietary needs, and the setup is always seamless. Our employees absolutely love their food; it’s always one of the most talked-about parts of any event. They also work thoughtfully within our budget and add personal touches that make a big difference. We’re so happy to work with them and look forward to the next time!

A wonderful business. Their pastries are superb, much touted in the press, award winning ( most recently rated Best Bakery by 48 Hills 2025). And the people who own this business are the real deal: masters of their craft, giving, community oriented.

Black Jet Baking Co. offers a great selection of pastries. There is usually a short line but service was quick and friendly, and prices are reasonable. I have tried the following items: - The egg, ham and cheese breakfast sandwich was a little disappointing. I wish that it was served hotter (it was just warm) and the eggs are freshly cooked instead of a scramble patty. - The everything snail tasted delicious with rich and savory flavor, although I barely saw any cream cheese that it was supposed to be stuffed with. - The chocolate twist has basically the croissant texture but in a funky shape. It was quite good. - The cheese in the ham and cheese croissant is hard and dry but the croissant texture is pretty good just like the chocolate twist. They also serve a decent cup of coffee. Overall this is a cool local place to get your breakfast.

A friend brought us a cake for Christmas that was decadent so I went back for Valentine’s Day. The poppy seed pastry was really tasty especially the sugar coating on top.

High quality deliciousness. Been to Germany like 5 times and you notice things that stand out. Good beer, driving fast on the freeway, and outstanding bakery goods. This place can legit add German bakery in their name cuz they are smacking and the quality control is on point to how i had it in the Homeland

I absolutely love this place—their cakes are fabulous! However, it would be great if they could stick to their posted hours. I arrived at 2:50 PM on a Wednesday, and there was a sign outside that said open (I’ve attached a photo). The cashier was inside but told me they were already closed, which was confusing. I used to stop by around this time every week after work, so it was disappointing. If they’re closing before 3 PM, it would really help to update the posted hours so customers know what to expect.

Black forest cake and ham and cheese pretzel crossiant (I think it was) tasted ok. I wasn't in love. They do have more selection on their website online. There was no wait. Make sure to arrive before closing time otherwise they will be completely packed up. There were 4 cakes to choose from, roughly 5-7 baked goods (pastries and crossiant types). I prefer sweeter cakes.

The pastry from this place is out of this world!! If you are passing by and this store is open, just go in and invite yourself to the best Berliner ever!!! I can’t believe what I am eating right now that I am writing this review :))) the best part? The lady who works there is super kind!

Very average black forest cake and way overpriced at $9 a slice. What was most disappointing was that we were told we couldn’t get coffee or even sit down to eat our cake, because the cashier had “already mopped up and stopped serving coffee” at 2pm (an hour before the advertised closing time)!! She was also very pre-occupied with her phone rather than providing customer service. Rubbish experience and a waste of $9….wish we hadn’t bothered!

Their new cashier is abysmal. When I met her first, she was too busy with a phone call to her friend instead of selling things. Today, I arrived at 2:45pm. However, she had already closed the register and closed the blinds. She lied to me that they were closed and that all the cake on display was „reserved“ [sic]. 2 almost full cakes and another 5 individual pieces. I know that preordered cake is in the large separate fridge. Also, the door was clearly open. Hence they were not closed. It takes me one hour to get to this place and I used to love it. Not sure if I will ever return with that service.

Very small area to sit inside, medium outdoor area to sit. Somewhat limited selection, bread focused. Blueberry strawberry scone was delicious. Chocolate chip cookie was decent and my cortado was not to my liking. The bread looked really good, but didn't try any.

Hip and popular small bakery and coffee built out of a remodeled house, adding to the Sunset’s wealth of good bakeries and patisseries. I showed up right at 9:10am, basically at opening, and there was already a small line. Within 5 minutes, the line grew quite a bit. All of the hype is certainly deserved as Day Moon can bake both good bread and pastries. I had a Pear Hazelnut Cake and a plain Sesame Bun and would undoubtedly get both again, but I definitely want to try their full loaves of bread next time I swing by.

An amazing place with THE best baguette I've ever had. We also tried their blueberry crumble bar and latte, both were fantastic. A great location, friendly staff and a unique ambiance. A most go for anyone visiting the area.

Top 5 sandwiches of my life. Broccolini, pecorino, lemon aioli this is like the baguette equivalent of devils teeth special breakfast sandwich. Lattes were good but milky, salted honey was yummy

Cute parklet shielded from ocean breeze on lower bench. Higher bench allows ocean view. Also tables and chairs outside. Excellent apple/ginger scone, everything squash scone. Sesame bun needs something on it which is an option. Bathroom very clean and easy to access.

TLDR: small bakery with outdoor seating with interesting bakery options I tried the peanut butter cookie which was a little chewier than I would have imagined but the blackberry and pear scone was amazingly soft and airy, not rock hard like I’ve seen other scones… it’s more like a muffin than a scone to me! Coffee was relatively inexpensive and paired well with the items.

Adorable delicious little gem of a bakery. Everything was super fresh and in stock. As we were ordering more was coming out of the oven. And the super new and shiny La Marzocco coffee machine makes delicious coffee. If you are in the area it's definitely worth a stop.

Oh wow! This was worth the trip to the mission despite the chaos of an unexpected parade! We loved the buckwheat brownie with bitter cocoa nibs and the cornmeal raspberry scone.

In carousing with my buddies after lunch, I was introduced to a hoity-toity bakery and I just loved their decadence in flavor and style. In these pictures, the first one is what I had, their version of brownies. One of my buddies picked up a focaccia, the second shot, which looked so tempting, with the texture looking so divine. The rest are the shop's clean, sharp and minimalist interior and exterior presentation. It was a great introduction to this place, Le Dix-Sept Patisserie. For years now, there has been quite a boutique culinary movement in the city in producing some of the best artisan bread and pastries, and I have no complaints about that. I certainly had no complaints about the brownies I devoured.

So I wanted to love this place, it’s cute, there was an art pop up outside, but I love canneles and theirs were unforgivable. Tiniest I have ever seen and they were so so burnt. Look at the photo of how tiny they look in my toddler’s hands and look how burnt and thick what should be a caramelized exterior is. I would not sell those at all let alone at $5 a piece. The rest of the baked goods pictured: breakfast bread (not filled enough but good flavor), passion fruit almond tart (dry but good passion fruit flavor), and the cookie my other toddler would not share and ate every last crumb of it so I assume it was super sweet. The cinnamon coffee special was tasty but overly overpriced for what it is.

Cute little spot in the mission. The passionfruit ginger fizz drink was amazing! I also really enjoy their focaccia bread too. But it’s kinda pricey if I’m being honest. That shouldn’t stop you from checking this adorable place out though.

Discovered this gem during a Cafecito Tour, put on by Mission Loteria. Check it out! Le Dex-Sept does not disappoint! Everything looks amazing and IS amazing. The staff were super friendly and open to telling us more about all their goodies.

A lovely spot in Mission! The location might fool but this cafe is honestly one of my favorites in the city so far! The lady was the absolute sweetest and I love the vision of not charging extra for oatmilk! Makes it way easier to enjoy vegan goods. A wonderful atmosphere and the coffee was really good too!

Le Dix-Sept will delight all your senses. It’s a must visit for any pastry loving foodie in SF. From the charming pink window front and plant oasis sidewalk seating, to the mouthwatering inventive botanical selection of pastries and drinks, to the current French playlist beats - Le Dix Sept is the pastry shop vibe SF needs. Everything pastry chef Michelle Hernandez concocts is delicious. Best cannelé in SF by far. And don’t miss out on her cloud like fluffy focaccia. Michelle is an artist with flavor and presentation - a testament to her training in Paris. She’s also amazing at bringing themed desserts to life for custom parties and events. No matter the theme, Le Dix Sept delivers pastry greatness. I can’t recommend this place more highly.

The wedding cake Stacie made for us is just incredible. Beautiful inside out. All the guests are so amazed by it and became a fan of Little Bee Bakery in a minute. I have been always a fun of Stacie's pastries, but never had a chance to try the custom cake. WoW, highly recommend. Thank you so much, Stacie. We appreciate your work and it made us so happy.

Put your fat pants on when you go to Little Bee Bakery. Owned by the former head pastry chef of famed Chez Panisse, it channels Norman Rockwell to fit seamlessly into the surrounding Bernal Heights neighborhood. The small display case serves up an array of sweet and savory delights, generously butter-enriched, and only those with an alien level of restraint will be able to leave with just one item. Spread your purchases out on the farm table inside to eat at your leisure and, if you have children, make them play with the toys Little Bee provides so you can eat whatever you bought for them, too. You'll have to get your sugar fix at another establishment on Wednesdays, however - the one day Little Bee is closed.

My birthday cake turned out so good!! the real succulents made the cake extra special for my plant theme party and my friends loved and appreciated this gluten-free cake with ganache and swiss meringue! It was really tasty and would order another again! Super easy to order online and pickup with instructions. Also, their pastries are lovely too!

Wow! This cake was a HIT. “Best cake I’ve ever had” is one of the many compliments we got.. and I also personally said while celebrating! We went with the gluten free almond cake, lemon curd filling, seasonal berries and chocolate ganache. We also got the challah and that was delicious too. Will definitely be back and I recommend!

Delicious!! I've been ordering Little Bee baked goods from Good Eggs on a weekly basis and they never disappoint. Love the Flourless Choc Brownie and Almond-Cornmeal Loaf Cake!!

Fantastic little place. I rarely encounter service as friendly in San Francisco as I did in this bakery. The coffee is strong but not over roasted. Apple tart and ginger cake were absolute delight.

"Insanely delicious" that is what my sister said about the birthday cake that I got yesterday from Little Bee. And it was insanely delicious. It was also beautiful. It was a white cake with amazingly delicate frosting, awesome lemon curd filling and toasted coconut around the edges. I have tried a number of her baked goods. All very good, but this cake was, as my sister said, insanely delicious.

Mixed Berry Tart > Tiramisu > Fedora Slice Everything was really enjoyable, and I don’t think you could go wrong with any three of these dishes. My main complaint is that I thought the presence of coffee was very light in the tiramisu, but this may be better for people who are planning on having this as a late-night snack. Also the bottom of the tart was semi-frozen, but the top of this tart was absolutely delectable.

Went to South Bay to grab a Japanese strawberry cake, but they ran out, so when we were back in SF, we saw this place on Google and decided to grab a strawberry cake from here. I was pleasantly surprised. The frosting is not heavily sweet like other bakeries. It tasted just like the Japanese cakes that I’ve gotten. The staff was really nice and patient with us asking many questions. I would stop by again for other cakes.

Nice dessert spot with a great selection of treats, including Napoleon and Custard Cream Horns. We haven’t tried much there, but it’s a solid choice if you're craving something sweet.

Bought two pastries and a single cappuccino. The sacripantina was delicious. Light consistency, easy to eat, but great flavor. The chocolate truffle slice was dense and delicious. A friend told me it was the "best chocolate anything" he's had on this trip while happily choking on the cocoa powder. The single shot cappuccino was strong with dense foam, not bitter. 10/10, highly recommend.

Ordered tiramisu and their sacripantina. Both super solid and delicious- sacripantina is a lot more cream focused with a vanilla flavoring which I did enjoy and their size was pretty reasonable for their price (around $7 per slice)! Pretty small place so might not get seating when it’s packed but good cake stop when craving one!

All of the pastries are very good. Tiramisu is my favorite. I love the coffee as well. Can’t wait to come back for more.

The pastries that I got definitely satisfied my sweet tooth. I thought it was such a cute and cozy bakery. Will definitely come back because I am planning on trying everything.

Absolutely loved my visit to Dandelion Chocolate in San Francisco! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting—perfect for a treat with friends or a relaxing solo break. The highlight has to be their European Hot Chocolate: thick, decadent, and packed with rich dark chocolate flavor, not overly sweet, and perfect for real chocolate lovers. Highly recommended for anyone who loves chocolate or wants to enjoy a special San Francisco spot!

Delicious chocolate and homemade gourmet marshmallows. I’ve really enjoyed the cacao fruit smoothie in the past but they had sold out this most recent time I went to visit so I got the iced chocolate chai instead, which came with a tiny cookie, studded with delectable cacao nibs. The iced chocolate chai was very chocolate-forward and didn’t taste much like chai at all to me or my friend but I enjoyed it nonetheless because the dark chocolate was extremely quality dark chocolate. If you love chocolate or even just like it, go to this place and be delighted. It is pricey and you get what you pay for.

This is the best hot chocolate in SF, by far! I recommend the European Hot Chocolate, thick and packed with flavor. Some tables inside, there's a counter and some outside (on Valencia) sits. Do give their dark chocolate tasting a try, you might find something that strikes your fancy! Also one of the very few cafes that stay open until relatively late.

The chocolate and crafty assortments made memorable impressions years ago as souvenirs. They are outstanding gifts to bring back home. The chocolate based drinks are hearty and have a deep, aromatic flavor. Keep in mind though, the price matches the brand name.

Really delicious chocolate snacks, desserts and drinks. The s’more was especially surprising, with contrasting bitter, salty and creamy notes. I loved the chocolate milk (made with oat milk) and the frozen hot chocolate was tasty. Everything was not too sweet.

Dandelion Chocolate is beautifully designed and feels inviting the moment you walk in. The desserts are artfully displayed, and the variety of chocolate flavors is impressive. A thoughtful space that makes you want to slow down and savor.

Their chocolate are the best in town. You can taste and choose. It’s clean and aesthetic place for picture and first date.

Absolutely wild American dessert concept — sugar overload, but totally worth it! The Baked Bear is one of those places where you walk in knowing you’re about to indulge. You get to choose two bases anything from cookies to brownies and then pick your favorite ice cream flavor. They press it all together into a dreamy dessert sandwich. We went with a chocolate brownie as the base, almond brittle cake ice cream in the middle, and topped it with a classic chocolate chip cookie. They press it with a machine so everything melts just slightly into each other, and it’s heavenly. Sweet? Definitely. Over the top? Yes. But also ridiculously good. Loved every bite.

When it comes to food in the US there are no limitations and this is one of these things. It's basically a burger made out of cookies and ice cream. You should definitely try it out. The only negative thing is the blend of all the different flavors that makes it a little bit hard to enjoy each component. However, it still brings a decent amount of joy.

Very kind service and tasty offering on the menu. Ice cream is not watery like one could expect in the US, but actually remind Italian gelato. Besides the cookies- as the base for the sandwish- there is also brownie. Single level sandwich is really enough for one person. Service was great. The sellers are nice people. We didnt expect but were gifted a selection of cookies for the kid.

Craving some ice cream, we found this spot where you can customize your ice cream sandwiches. They have cookie sandwiches, brownie sandwiches, combo sandwiches (cookie & brownie), and vegan cookie sandwiches. We got the combo sandwich and asked for it not to be toasted. The sandwich turned out to hold together well, and tasted good!

Total Score: 6.700 Ambiance: 4/5 Very blue. Cookie Monster but I’m a bear. Big back? Big bear Food: 3.25/5 The cookie lacked integrity cuz it fell apart halfway through and had to use a spoon. Otherwise, good ice cream and alright cookies. Liked the diversity in options tho. Wow: 0/1 Normal ice cream place Total Score = 3.5*AM + 6*FOOD + 0.5*WOW

This place was such a great late night guilty pleasure. I was so excited to find it and it was absolutely delicious. Fresh cookies, delicious ice cream and so many toppings!! Try the ice cream cookie sandwich, so good!

Some of the best ice cream sandwiches I’ve ever had! I got a chocolate chip cookie bottom, Nutella cookie top, with cookie dough in the middle. Delicious!!

Very cute spot to hangout or grab a drink. Although I haven’t had the wine at this wine bar, I LOVE their BBC MARTINI! One of the best I’ve had. Will come here just for that. Limit is 2 per person. Upscale ambiance, friendly service and great drinks. They also have a happy hour! Will definitely be back, cheers!

A fabulous wine bar with delicious eats. The sommeliers and cocktail artists have wonderful suggestions!

Lively Club with a Luxurious Atmosphere conveniently located at the base of the Four Seasons. Engaging R & B Soul Music with Top Notch Cocktails. Lovely Crowd

Went here for a private event, and the staff were very friendly, the food was good, and the atmosphere was pretty nice and comfortable, even with a lot of people there. Can’t speak about their drinks, since I don’t drink, but other folks seemed to be enjoying them. Not much to complain about!

Attended a private event there. Place is nice and cozy and works well for networking parties! Just wish the location directions matched the actual path people should take 😅 had to pass through a hotel to access the actual entrance

The Press Club is a go-to venue for me. As someone in BD, I host many events for executives and they’ve always been great to work with. Great space, great service, great food as well. I’m impressed the quality has stayed so high over the years.

Had a fun time here! It’s a cool wine bar in Yerba Buena with a cool downstairs lounge. I came here with my friend for their 14th annual Harvest Festival and it was so fun to enjoy tastings from wineries from all over CA! They also had a live DJ that understood the vibe. It’s such a chill spot; I can’t wait to come back here. I also enjoyed the food that had: charcuterie board, Thai chicken lettuce wraps, and mini burgers. They paired well with the different wines I had. I’m amazed at this large selection. Highly recommend.

Very cute neighborhood cafe and French bakery. They make everything fresh and from scratch. Best croissants in SF. You feel transported to Paris. The staff is very kind and friendly. Highly recommend.

An escape to Paris right here in the city, adorable! Beautiful interior and and plenty of seating. We had the chocolate almond croissant and a ham/mustard croissant - the sweet croissant had the perfect balance of almond and chocolate and paired well with their coffee. The ham/mustard croissant was also well balanced, although my partner thought there might have been too much mustard. I will return to try their breakfast and sandwich items! I love the open concept of their kitchen, you can see everything they prepare in house!

We’re so lucky to have Le Marais in the Lower Polk neighborhood. Crêpes on weekends. Creamy quiche. Delicious pain suisse. La Colombe coffee. Friendly service.

As a French person, I know what a real pastry should taste like. This... was not it. From the moment I walked in, it was clear this place was more style than substance and even the style was questionable. The pastries looked tired, dry, and frankly, neglected. Everything seemed like it had been sitting out for hours possibly the entire day. And rather than offering anything freshly made, they eagerly pushed what was obviously stale. The taste? Disappointing. Bland, lifeless, and lacking any of the finesse or richness you’d expect from a true French pâtisserie. Worse yet, there were flies hovering around the display : a clear sign of sanitary neglect. Who knows how long those poor excuses for pastries had been out? The general hygiene made me uncomfortable, and I left with serious doubts about food safety. The staff? Indifferent at best. Unhelpful, a bit pushy with upselling old stock, and not particularly friendly which didn’t help the already dismal experience. This place banks on the idea of French pastry, not the quality. If you're actually familiar with good French baking, you'll be appalled. I won’t be coming back and I wouldn’t recommend it unless you're nostalgic for stale food and subpar service.

A true taste of France at Le Marais Bakery! I stopped by Le Marais and was instantly charmed by the warm, welcoming vibe and the heavenly scent of fresh pastries. I ordered the ham and cheese croissant and a cappuccino—both were absolutely fantastic. The croissant was perfectly flaky, buttery, and generously filled with quality ham and melty cheese. The cappuccino was smooth and well-crafted, with just the right balance of espresso and foam. It could have been a little hotter, though. Le Marais truly captures the essence of a Parisian café—an ideal spot for a cozy breakfast or a relaxing coffee break.

Everything here is excellent ! Honestly, some things are even better than what I’ve had in France. The staff is always so kind and welcoming, no matter who’s working that day. I come here all the time, and it never disappoints. If you’re homesick or just craving authentic French food, this is the place to go. I moved to San Francisco a few months ago, and out of everything I’ve tried, this bakery is by far the best French spot in the city.

Love this bakery. Their baked goods are top tier. I always order a bunch to bring into the office for special occasions and my coworkers (who are massive foodies) love the croissants. The place is cute for business meetings or having a cup of coffee with a friend. Def recommend!

Love this neighborhood market! Found some international spices and local made ice cream!

excellent & healthy selection. they carry soy-free and corn-free eggs from Tomales Bay Pastures that are the best in the biz! if you know, you know! also get yourself an ice cream sandwich people 🤌

Today was my first experience at Bi-Rite. I happened upon it, and popped in for a look around. The deli case is stunning, and I felt confident that everything would taste as good as it looks. I bought a sandwich (The Lone Mountain), and it was truly one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever eaten. Fresh warm focaccia, plentiful fixings. A delight to eat! I’ll surely return.

Love birite and everyone who works there especially the team at the deli counter! My mom was in recently with my son in his stroller and someone (she thought seemed like management…) was kind of rude to her saying the stroller was in the way. It’s not really realistic for people to leave kids at home to grocery shop. I was also disappointed to recently learn the birite brand “pesto” is fake! They use canola oil and no pine nuts and it makes it look like the birite brand is a better deal that the real pesto next to it. I think it’s misleading to make pesto with canola oil.

If you wanted to find specialty cheese, wine, fruits, or packaged items, this is the place to go. I mean where else can you find Mandariquats? If you were to buy regular produce, I would avoid it because this market is overly pricey but also super busy. This market fits into the bougie SF narrative. Though, I'm really amazed by the variety of items they have here such as flowers, fish, sushi, cheese wall, and wine sheves. The icecream is pretty good too.

Pros: - Awesome products with lots of ethical options. - Staff are helpful and kind Cons: - The isles are so short and narrow that every single step is a burden to the other people in the store, regardless of how busy it actually is. Bi-Rite is the only grocery store (that I go to on purpose) where I regularly have to step outside to recover from claustrophobic anxiety attacks. Which means that I keep my visits as short as possible and don't bother browsing much at all. - Items aren't always labeled correctly or visibly, so it either takes longer to find it, or I just give up because I got tired of bumping elbows with strangers in the tight spaces. Pictured example: I was told to fetch "spring greens" and the sign for where they were read, "salad mix package." Not very helpful when I'm looking at about 4+ feet of other various leafy greens in the same packaging, labels aimed at the ceiling. Thankfully it wasn't super busy and staff were there to figure it out for me.

I love this store - so much quality cheese, meat, produce and non perishable good - many local and interesting brands and products and super friendly staff - such a gem!

Stopped by to get a small breakfast bite and was not disappointed. They have so many interesting choices here for savoring pastries. We tried the Breakfast croissant with egg, back and cheese

Cutest bakery with an old style vibe and calm music. The goat cheese and tomato jam danish is so good I had two of them.

On weekends, they serve this special croissant with pastrami, sauerkraut, and pickles which I really enjoy. They also have different kinds of cookies which is worth trying, especially the hazelnut one.

Friendly, relaxed cafe with delicious baked goods and coffee. Staff were wonderful. I recommend the cinnamon rolls - next level!

I’ve had my husband buy the Chocolate-Salted Caramel Mousse Cake for every birthday I’ve celebrated since moving to SF. You’ve changed the recipe and it wasn’t for the best. Dry and barely a hint of caramel and a new consistency of the filling. I don’t think you can still call it a mousse cake. The ingredients quality worsened while the price increased. Too bad.

Everything is homemade, and I absolutely love this place! It's a nice, quiet spot to kick off your morning with a delicious coffee or latte ❤️❤️. This local bakery shop offers the best cinnamon roll around!

Almond croissant 2/5 Amaretti cookie 5/5 The croissant tasted alright, but the texture was all off. It was more doughy than flaky and there were very few layers in it. The outside seemed more like a dinner roll than a croissant. I think there probably wasn't enough butter in the mix. It was possibly the least croissant-y croissant I've had in years. Thankfully the amaretti cookie was delicious and redeemed my experience.

Nice ice cream shop with simple flavors. Like the fact that they also have delicious cookies for sale too! I decided to get the banana flavor coated with hot fudge and topped with toasted almonds. I enjoyed the experience! Only this is that they only stay open till 6 even during the weekdays And close really early on Saturday. They need to stay open later if people wish to go to their ice cream store.

The ice cream is pricey but it’s probably because they don’t sell enough volumes to be able to afford to charge less as opposed to having a high markup (although this shouldn’t matter to customers per se). I like their sweet cream flavor as I don’t like vanilla and it’s hard to find a milky ice cream without it

One of the best ice creams I've had. The lemon shiso is amazing and I wouldn't have thought to combine them together. The ube doodle has the richness of ube as well! I wish my stomach had the capacity to try all the flavors.

Great little spot for creative Ice cream flavors and sweets. Set in the Dogpatch neighborhood, this airy ice cream store offers very good creamy delights and home made candies. This neighborhood is gentrifying by the day, and this place caters to the new families moving into this once desolate area.

It doesn’t have to be your birthday cake to ever get birthday cake ice cream! We had brunch in the area and I really wanted dessert so we eagerly waited at the front door (and took pics with the giant ice cream mural) until this place opened. We were the only ones for a little while so we were table to take our time and try a few flavors. Most were pretty good, but I knew I wanted the birthday cake when I laid my eyes on the sign. I loved that there were actual (chocolate) cake chunks in the ice cream. The ice cream was really good, but I wished it was birthday cake flavored instead of vanilla with sprinkles (though I do love a good vanilla). Overall, we added a waffle cone and it satisfied my sweet craving. Be prepared to pay SF prices for this ice cream cone!

Wow my girlfriend and I walked for an hour to get here but it was so worth it. Thick consistency and rich bold flavors make for some amazing icecream. Had the pandan and matcha. Both were brilliant and had some of GFs chocolate chip which was so rich it tasted like it had cookie dough in it. Prices are steep but so is quality. Well worth it in my opinion. On par with bi rite for best icecream in SF.

I wanted to not like this place because their prices are steep and I miss the old owners. I can’t though, because it’s still so good. Their ice cream is so much better than what I was getting at the store that I decided it’s worth the premium in price. They always have a nice selection and kept a lot of old favorites. Also, they now have a huge pastry selection and while I haven’t tried them all, they look 🔥🔥

We stopped by Neighbor Bakehouse on a Sunday at 8 am. There was plenty of street parking available. As we were walking to get in line (3 parties in front of us), 2 employees rudely pushed past us on the sidewalk. It was clear they were late as the bakery was supposed to open at 8 am but did not open until 8:15 am. We got the char siu croissant, ube croissant, pistachio blackberry croissant, and ginger pull apart. The char sui croissant is more like a Danish but a good alternative for people who like savory pastries. The ube croissant was ok - although the interior was pretty, I thought the ube flavor was lacking. The pistachio blackberry croissant has a nice tartness from the blackberry filling. The ginger pull apart was very unique and delicious - I really like ginger flavored things so I enjoyed it (this is more like real ginger flavor and not gingerbread). I would get all the pastries again except the ube croissant. Overall, I enjoyed the pastries but I think B Patisserie and Arsicault are still my favorite bakeries.

Bring on the seeds!!! The pumpkin seeds pop on this delicious bread. Why no pictures of the country bread, it was eaten too quickly!!! Right??? This is the perfect neighborhood Bakehouse and if you are at UCSF Mission Bay for a procedure or the children’s hospital, this is a 6 minute walk and well worth the effort. Theo shared a morning bun with the family who enjoyed it. The coffee was equally hitting!

Nice place to have unique croissants. We had mushroom croissants, charsiu croissants, and chocolate hazelnut twice baked croissants. All are yummy. You have to go early as by noon, most of the items are sold out. We got the last mushroom croissants.

Incredible coffee. Both the regular cappuccino and the pandan latte were excellent. Pastry dough is super flaky and delicious. The fillings are a hit or a miss. Morning bun is more of a cinnamon roll. Absolutely no Parking and takes forever to find a spot. No place to sit inside and the outside tables are not covered.

We came here on a weekend afternoon. There was still plenty of bread inside! The server is friendly! Once you walk in, you will smell the sweetness of the bread and it is amazing. I got the ginger pull apart, the raspberry pistachios croissant, mushroom tart and the cream. They are all unique and good! Recommended!

I did hear about the bakery from people and decided to go. And indeed it was worth it. I went at 11:30. There was a small queue. I ordered strawberry matcha croissant and ginger pull apart (veg). Both of them were good. It was crispy and flavourful. They have various bread options. Must try

Had three delicious pastries from here. They have a large selection of bread and pastries to choose from. I especially enjoyed the one with bananas on top.

A quiet little bakery that makes fortune cookies in the back. I love the old fashioned style this place has. They even have a neat looking super old school cash register. They make other baked goods and pastries but the fortune cookies are the main draw for me. There's a few sizes,shapes, and flavors to their cookies. Try the mix bag if you want to sample the different flavors (original, chocolate, and strawberry). Some of the best deals are the bag of "Rejected" fortune cookies they sell near the counter which are discounted because its a bit misshapen,has no fortune slips, or a tiny bit burnt(which i love and think it adds a bit more flavor). The rejects are like the Belly Flops for Jelly Belly, same great taste but a bit funny looking and an amazing price. If you have time,you can go deeper into the store and watch the sweet old ladies make some of the fortune cookies. If you are ready to check out with your items but see nobody at the front counter, just wave and say hi to one of the nice old ladies working in the back and they will come and help you out.

I have only buy the wife cake here, and it’s the best I have ever had. It’s different than all the other ones as the inside is crunchy. Both my husband and I really liked it. This types of wife cake I can only get from SFO and from that store only. I have tried wife cake from 6 different stories in one day and this is it the best. Will definitely go back just got their wife cake and maybe try some of there other stuff as well

We have been consistently returning for cow ear cookies until we decided to spontaneously try their walnut tarts. Bit into it and THERE WAS MOLD. Settled with a heartless “sorry” and refund. Given the age group their customers are, this is incredibly risky.

This shop isn’t your standard bakery with baked goods and pastries. It is more known for their flat fortune cookies and pig ear cookies. There are a variety of flavors of fortune cookies including strawberry and chocolate in mini and regular sized shapes in various bag weights. I personally get tired of these cookies pretty fast so if you love them you’ll probably find something you like here. I believe they are also a wholesaler and sell these cookies on the side. If you do stop by here you should try their pig ear shaped cookies. They come in a standard size bag and are thin and super crunchy. They are fresh and the flavor is mildly sweet. I believe this is what customers come back and rave about. The drawback is that they limit you to 2 bags per person which seems kind of silly. The man who handles the checkout is always in a grumpy mood so do expect that. I would stop by if I was in the area but it’s not anything I would go out of my way for. There are only metered parking nearby but you can park in the lot that is a few blocks away.

They limit 2 bags of cow ear crackers per person?! And they don't sell them till 2pm? They keep them behind the counter till you've paid? And during my latest visit in July 2021, the guy behind counter said I must pre-order the cow ear cookies?! The cookies are good, but they make them so impossible to buy.

I really had no idea about their "Cow Ears" cookies until my wife told me about it. Honestly, I am a sucker for going to mom and pa business because I grew up in a mom and pa restaurant business myself. I am very disappointed when I went into the store. This place totally lack simple common human courtesy. The guy in his late forties treats you like a life long enemy. Did I get my "Cow Ears" cookies ? Answer: No. Do I really care ? Answer : No Is this place worth going to ? Yes, I find it very entertaining to see a grown man throwing a temper tantrum when you ask him : "Do you have any "Cow Ears" cookies ?" ( If you don't believe me, try asking him yourself next time you go to San Francisco)

I enjoyed the crunchiness of the cow ears and the flavor; it's perfect!!! I've tasted fortune cookies and you could see the color is too yellow a me the taste is awful. But, these sneakers are definitely way better than anything I've tried. Thank you so much for making such a fantastic Snacker treat.
