“Mi lugar favorito, Recomendado😋“

“First time here. Ordered the pizza focaccia and the rosemary garlic focaccia. You can taste the aroma of the tomato sauce and the light texture of the bread. The sauce didn't make the bread soggy as I was thinking it would. The garlic/rosemary was my favorite of the two. For you garlic and rosemary lover, this is the one you must try. Fresh garlic taste with the awesome smell of the rosemary. This would go great with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. You need to go early before they get sold-out. I will be back for other selections.“

“Breakfast is definitely the best thing here.“

“Had a great experience at Maison Nico today! I ordered a Pain au Chocolat and matcha, and both exceeded my expectations. The Pain au Chocolat was beautifully made - so light and delicate with those perfect flaky, crispy layers on top that you expect from a well-crafted pastry.
What really stood out was their matcha. Finally found a place that serves it the proper way - no added sugar at all! It's refreshing to taste the pure, earthy flavor of quality matcha instead of the overly sweet versions you get at most cafes.
I was fortunate to walk in without a line, but within several minutes there was a steady stream of customers forming a queue. That's always a good sign that locals know this place is worth the wait. The quality of their pastries and attention to authentic preparation definitely shows. Will be back to try more items!“

“A very cozy place in the financial district. Even though we went on a weekend, there were still a lot of people working there. Their pour over coffee is reasonably priced and they also provide coffee beans in the shop. I like the paintings they have inside. The coffee also comes with a postcard telling us where the coffee beans come from and the history, which I think is very nice. If you like coffee, I recommend giving this place a try.“

“I ordered the strawberry shortcake for my daughters 2nd birthday and was delighted to pick up this beautifully decorated cake. She was so excited when we presented her cake and she loved the bee, lady bug, and butterfly decorations, which were an extra special touch added by the bakery! The cake was delicious with a soft cake, fresh strawberries, and a subtly sweet whipped cream. Thank you Schubert's for helping make my daughters birthday special!“

“Jane is my favorite bakery in San Francisco!! Wide variety of delicious pastries and amazing selection of bread - try the cardamom bun, pistachio strawberry Nutella tart and purple corn bread - also fresh salads and sandwiches.“

“BEST pineapple bun hands down in the universe! And I'm Asian! Served warm and fresh from their oven, this bun is out of this world. Go pass the friendly old guys who are there all day, and a super nice lady behind the counter will give you the best .. did I mention BEST...pineapple bun!!

Also tried the other hot buns which were REALLY good, but the Pineapple bun is king!“

“Holy Nata - 8 Trinity Place, San Francisco, CA

Let me be clear. These pastries? They're amazing. The taste? All I can say is this: walk over, order one, walk out, take a bite, and tell me if you didn't immediately turn around and go back for six more. It's that good. Holy Nata is not just a bakery, it's a walk-back-in kind of place. Don't say I didn't warn you!“

“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.“

“I bought a mini day pass and took the opportunity to ride around town today with my mom. We came out to Dinner Richmond specifically to grab some pork buns. There was a line when we arrived and another when we left, so this place is popular. The person in front of me actually came from Sacramento to stock up. She got 6 dozen buns in total, including roast pork, pineapple custard and green onion. She said she preordered the day before since she was getting so many. So, I had high expectations. I ordered 10 pineapple and roast pork buns and asked for 1 to be set aside so Mom and I could sample it in the store. It was delicious. Unfortunately, they were out of the other buns or else I may have gotten some more. Next time....

Note, price per bun varies and it's cash only.“

“My experience here was truly amazing!😋🥰😍“

“The birth place of fortune cookies. This place is small and a perfect place to see how fortune cookies are made. They make fresh cookies and serve you. You can buy several varieties of fortune cookies from this place. Also the highlight is that u can customize fortune cookies for your friends and family. This place is pretty famous and is always crowded.“

“This sweet shop is inside a Japanese market. The owners and staff are friendly. Their signature coffee crunch cake hits the spot! The cake is soft, and the sweetness is just right — it is the kind of cake you can indulge in without feeling sick due to the sugar content.“

“Lors de notre séjour à San Francisco nous avons découvert Le Marais Bakery. Nous avons ADORÉ, la nourriture est délicieuse et le service vraiment très chaleureux et très professionnel. L’équipe est souriante et au petit soin. N’hésitez pas à vous arrêter pour déguster les délicieuses viennoiseries et/ou les autres plats proposés, vous ne serez pas déçu(e)s!!“

“Just a little pricey but it’s worth the money. The cashier was nice and welcoming.. the pastries and coffee were fresh and delicious. I ordered a ham and cheese croissant and a chocolate croissant with an espresso latte and I finished every sip and not a crumb was left behind. The early morning traffic is better than the afternoon traffic.“

“Great local bakery .. pandan sponge cakes, mini mooncakes, white egg tarts, paper cup cake , real pineapples in the pineapple buns !everything is fresh & something new is always coming out of the oven .. cash only, take out only, no seats available!“

“One of my favorite bakeries in the city. The pastries here are all so unique with them all being Korean inspired. My favorites are the galbi and injeolmi croissants but you can't go wrong with any of the pastries here. If you do go here though I'd go as early as possible because they sell out of things fast. Coffee and tea here are great as well with the honeycomb toffee latte being a favorite of mine. The actual bakery itself looks very nice with a minimalist design but it's very small so they have you wait outside if you order a drink.“

“You can feel the love and care the team puts into everything they make, and they’re so welcoming every time. The breakfast sandwiches are amazing, the almond croissant is perfectly flaky, and the donuts are a delight. Honestly, everything we tried was just perfect“

“After nearly 3 years of telling myself, “One day I’ll finally try a donut from Bob’s Donuts,” that day finally came—and it was worth the wait!

I’ve always been a loyal customer to my local donut shop in San Rafael, but today I had the chance to stop by Bob’s Donuts in Mill Valley, and I’m so glad I did. As I met Ryan Murphy, a young high school student who works there and truly represents the shop with excitement and positivity. His energy was refreshing, and he took the time to ask what kind of donuts I usually go for. After I told him that chocolate is my go-to, he highly recommended I try theirs—and I’m glad I listened.

The chocolate donut was impressive—great texture, rich flavor, and clearly made with care. Bob’s Donuts has a delicious recipe that sets them apart. They’re definitely more than just another donut shop—they’re a local gem at 252 Almonte Blvd, Mill Valley, CA 94941.

Big thanks to Ryan and the Bob’s Donuts team for a truly tasty treat. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Amazing gluten free bakery (with vegan options) in the Ferry Building. The line was long (Sunday around noon), but it moved fairly quickly and it was definitely worth the wait. Things we got: cinnamon roll, croissant, empanada, bear claw. All were delicious. Would return and recommend to others, especially those with dietary restrictions.“

“Making chicken salad sandwiches with the best bead 🥖“

“I've come here for over two decades now. I love to come here for the har gow. The best I've had anywhere hands down. The other dumplings are also really good as well as the congee. I wouldn't say the sweet pastries are all that good though. The staff are very efficient but minimal on the charm as is common with these kinds of places. Finally they brought back seating after many many years without it due to covid. Cash only.“

“Be a hero to your friends. "Wow! Thanks for the (fill in insanely good pastry here)"

Be a champion to The City, combat SFs reputation by directing tourists walking by towards the tent.

Be a fiend to your pancreas. Look at all those pastries! Let me count my Weigh...screw it. Pastry cream is my friend.

Be greedy. Eat and eat and eat. And, what is that one? Can I have one of those too? Eat more. When only one pie is left, don't say "you can have it" to the next person in line...give them some credit, they wouldnt have said it either.

Be spoiled. Never eat a Frenchish dessert at anything less than a Michelin listed restaurant ever again.

Be obnoxious. Tell all your friends "this is okay, but I know this Fren...". Watch their eyes roll. Roll your own eyes at their lava cakes and sacher tortes.

Be cold. It's the outer Richmond / Land's End region. Brrrrrrr.

Be glad you read this review now. The French Riviera is calling, and aint no one getting any younger, you know.

Minus one star for errant golf balls landing in the chocolate mousse. Fore!

Vegetarian options: Lookout for the meatloaf mousse.

Dietary restrictions: Lactose intolerant? Sorry.

Parking: So weird, it's the only place in the city with actual parking. Damn it, should have kept my mouth shut.

Kid-friendliness: Most kids are very friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: It's on the sidewalk, so yeah“

“The lines are long but the food is worth it. The people around us got very mad in the line though the bread was so good. The service was fast and had good staff. The bread was good. Italian long bread was very good including the twinkies and the baguette. The bread was good by itself and was good.“

“Yummy coconut custard bun! Can’t wait to go back and try more of the beautiful treats“

“What a great stop for a sweet treat. Tourist here, we were looking for a small bite before walking through Chinatown. I was blown away by the quality of the pastries, their coffee was good too. They have a cute storefront right off Washington Square Park with seating outside. It was delicious!“

“Very nice place, amazing attention, I love it.“

“Not really a sit-down spot, but walked over and got some mini cheesecakes to go. Was impressed at the price and variety of flavors; only $2.50 per individual cheesecake and flavors ranging from caramel apple to s'mores to pumpkin. Excited at the potential of getting like eight different cheesecakes all in different flavors for less than $20. I plan on returning again. Cash only, for those who want to plan ahead.“

“The best cappuccino in Marin hands down! Been going there for years -- the service has been consistently excellent and the pastries and cakes are quintessential Italian delicacies! Gary and Jeannie Rulli are the dedicated hands-on proprietors -- wonderful people and a blessing to our Larkspur community🥰!“

“Like a little slice of heaven. The bagels are delicious. Tons of other amazing baked goods. Biscotti. Some ridiculous flatbread with rosemary on it that's kind of like a 2 foot long cracker. Plus pretty sure they have the original cash register they used when they opened in the 70s right next to the digital one they used today. Love the nostalgia. Love the taste. Love the outdoor rec seating. Even my kids loved it, which gives it 1 million extra points.“

“These cupcakes were just as delicious as they were beautiful! I’ll admit, I was a little worried they might be too sweet with all that frosting, but I was completely blown away. The sweetness was perfectly balanced, and the cake was incredibly fluffy and moist. I served them at a broker’s tour and received so many compliments from the agents. They were a total hit! I’ll definitely be ordering from Baked Blooms again, highly recommend if you want a true showstopper!“

“Amazing bread and croissants! Also love the brown butter chocolate chip cookies. A must have stop at the Farmer's market Thurs in San Rafael. Cannot wait until he has his own brick and mortar store. xo“

“this place is amazing!!! will not disappoint!!“

“This place is the best and I hope they never close! I grew up in the area but now live out of the country and my family has relocated to the east bay but I still make the 60 min drive all the way to Jelly Donut whenever I come to visit them. The owners are super friendly and generous, often throwing in an extra freebie too. We've tried 4 other donut shops in the east bay and none are even close to as good as these. Long live Jelly Donut!“

“Excellent pies...highly recommend“

“Well-sized dim sum, quality in the taste and bite.

Har Gao, with water chestnut in filling — a nice textural touch. Pork and Shrimp Siu Mai, chunks of shrimp make for a nice crunch. Steamed Pork Buns, on the sweet side, but meaty with minimal fat.“

“One65 was an amazing discovery on our trip to San Francisco. Having spent the first half of our life in Montréal, Québec, Canada where it was hard to find a bad restaurant, we were absolutely amazed by this Bistro which looks more like a high end dining experience. The menu online & the photos attracted us to this location but we were amazed by the well timed service, the crisp white tablecloths, the table setting and the pleasant and calm atmosphere. My choices of charcuterie platter was perfectly sized; the chicken & the pork rillettes where a wonderful surprise. My husband had an onion tart with the crust as perfect as they get & which I envied. He loved his halibut, moist and tender and I raved over my grilled half lobster, so tender that I found myself munching on the shell parts as well. My bread pudding was not of overwhelming size & perfectly flavored. Don chose the Affogato (scoop of vanilla gelato « drowned » with a shot of hot espresso). We wanted to go back today but they are closed on Sundays.?“

“First time ordering a thanksgiving pie here and it did not disappoint. I also walked out with a Reuben croissant, which they were able to warm up for me despite the ovens being off. 10/10 delicious and will hold me over until thanksgiving dinner. The pie is definitely hearty and has some weight to it. My in laws are definitely going to be impressed with this pie!“

“Stopped here over ten years ago and got the cocktail buns (coconut filling) and have wanted to go back ever since. This time we tried lotus cakes, pork buns (steamed and baked) and more cocktail buns. Everything is delicious. They do not take card, so make sure to bring cash!“

“I walked past this store often, but haven’t tried it until recently, since their prices are sightly higher than other Chinatown bakeries. Now I’ve tried their bread and coffee and they’re really good - I look forward to go back every morning!! Takes credit card for purchase over $6. Staff are quite polite.“

“Overall amazingly great, the pastries are very good and soft just like iv seen and dreamed of tasting when seen them on instagram and tiktok videos. Great employees and great atmosphere it tends to get bit crowded due to being a popular spot.“

“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!!“

“The bagels are just delicious! Service is also very good, and the place is just okay (could have some improvements) but the food is so good the other aspects aren’t as relevant. If you want an aesthetic place this might not be it, but if you want great bagels in sfo definitely give it a try!“

“Amazing food. Fresh and delicious. Fantastic service“

“Craving Satisfied Will be back!!!“
