“Nicest staff I have experienced in a while! I ordered a cake online for pick up and I was running late, ETA after closing time. I called them, and they, very graciously, offered to wait for me to hand me the cake after closing time! lovely experience, my daughter's birthday dinner celebration was complete with a delicious Red Velvet Bundt Cake!“

“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.“

“This is the classic hole in the wall Chinese bakery. I grew up with Chinese bakeries like this in Chinatown of my youth. There's always a line out the door on the weekends. But then I was just so pleasantly surprised at how delicious the pork buns are. I literally grew up on pork buns growing up in Chinatown in New York City. These pork buns, From lung Fung bakery, give those pork buns to run for their money. It came back After devouring the pork buns, to try out the curry buns, which were even more delicious. Five stars all the way.“

“A delightful classic Chinatown bakery that looks like it hasn't changed in decades. They carry all the classics, though I'd recommend getting a cocktail bun (if you're lucky they'll still be warm from the oven). A few small stools and chairs inside, often with a bunch of old fellows sitting around talking. This place is great, don't change a thing ❤️“

“I am Italian. We passed by here by chance in 2017 and apparently 8 years later we are still talking about it. A dive into the past and a focaccia to remember; a bit on the soft side compared to the way we have them where I am from. Packed with care.“

“This gem in Financial District is a must-try. I bought a box of four pastel da nata of various flavors and each one was delicious: crunchy on the outside and melt-in-your mouth custard. Really delectable! The traditional, pistachio, Nutella, and caramel were all equally as great. Make sure to ask for a sprinkle of cinnamon to add to the tastiness of this Portuguese treats!“

“Yum! A colleague brought in a selection of pastries from Maison Nico, and everything we tried was delicious. The croissant was especially good, flaky, buttery, and perfectly baked, and the bread was just as impressive. Overall, a great spot for high quality pastries, and definitely one I would go back to.“

“Cannoli was pretty good. Definitely not bad but not the best either but well priced for $6. Cavelli's has a better tasting filling for my taste and all around better at $9-$10 and is a bigger shell. But definitely a decent cannoli here at Victoria.“

“Everything I've ever had from here has been amazing, just scrumptious perfection. I used to live a block away and would go there more often, I've moved a bit further away now but returned today for lunch and sweet treats. The guava puff pastry I got today was sublime, the ganache brownie is my standby go-to, literally the best brownie I've ever had in my life. The soups are always exquisite. Just nice people, everything clean and fresh, a pleasant little community experience around the corner from where I grew up in my family home of 40 years. Coming to Patisserie on California always feels like coming home.“

“I was in the neighborhood and felt like treating myself, so when I came across Boho Petite, I decided to give it a try. Great decision! I am a huge fan of pistachio, and the pistachio entremet I had here is easily one of the best pistachio pastries I've ever eaten. The textures and flavors are perfectly balanced–a beautiful light mousse, a rich and gooey pistachio praline center, and a crunchy base layer. It is a stunning dessert that tastes just as incredible as it looks. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the Marina and looking for something special! One thing to note is that the options are limited, so don’t expect a large display case to peruse.“

“Popular place for dimsum, we ordered sesame balls, har gow, siu mai, baked pork bun, taro cake. A table cleared and we were able to taste a few of the items before taking the rest home for parents to try. Freshly made sesame seed balls with red bean inside is a favorite. The others had good consistency and flavor. Service is nice and efficient. Cash only.“

“Back in 2026 for the breakfast smash biscuit sandwich and the breakfast sandwich with ham and Gruyère. Both excellent; they put avocado in the smash biscuit for a vegetarian option at no extra cost. Really excellent food, service, and setting. 2023:Fun place and bakery with an interesting twist. The food has a Japanese accent with a euro-American base. We tried the breakfast sandwich and the egg salad. Both very good and different. The bakery items were fun. We had the matcha pandan and the pan de coco. Both excellent. The matcha in the pandan was subtle. The pan de coco was exquisite. Topped off with chrysanthemum tea and the strawberry lassi (very very sweet).“

“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!

“Mariposa Bakery is excellent place to have breakfast or a sweet snack while at the Ferry Building in San Francisco. Tables and benches along the pier by the water is perfect for enjoying the sights including passenger ferries and the Bay Bridge.
Line can be long so recommend you go at an off time between breakfast and lunch or later in the day.
Great to also bring back home or your hotel if visiting“

“I think the fresh milk egg white tarts here are much better than those from another pastry shop also in Chinatown even though the latter one is more famous. At 2-3 dollars each (can't exactly recall the price), they’re not exactly cheap, but I think they’re worth it. The crust is flaky, the filling is rich, and every time I’ve come, they’ve been fresh out of the oven. The hygiene could be better though, and there’s sometimes a line.“

“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!!“

“I had never heard of this place until my mom told me she wanted to come. This is a family owned shop that has been making fortune cookies by hand since 1962. It’s very small inside, the walls are lined with photos of different famous people who have come, and they have lots of different cookie variations and treats to choose from. They gave us a handful of warm (unfolded/not shaped) cookies with our purchase, and the warm cookies were absolutely delicious. I would come back to get some more treats.“

“Cash only, absolutely amazing cake. Taste like nothing you had before. Perfect balance between the fresh cake and cream and coffee cream and toffee candies.

“Ordered a seeded levain bread to go, a lemon scone and the blueberry maple syrup muffin. Perfectly ready early and was notified which was great. The muffin and scone were excellent…tasty! The bread, which is a tad pricey (12.50) was overdone on the bottom so unfortunately the overpowering taste was burnt. Decided to salvage the excellent bread by cutting off the burned bottom! I have not experienced this at other fine, artisan bakeries in the area. May have to try the epi!“

“San Francisco Historical Landmark, all the locals and neighbors will tell you, or show you, because there is a line out the door at various hours of the day, especially for the buttermilk and giant donuts. Breathtaking experience of culinary delight.“

“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.“

“A piece of old San Francisco on one of the busiest blocks in North Beach. Charming decor right out of the 50’s. Excellent bread with the perfect crunch and the mortadellla sandwich is huge and delicious, as well as their homemade biscotti - great with a single espresso! Of course I had to try the bagels (says the NJ in me). OMG good and perfectly priced. Enjoying a little picnic of everything I bought - so good!“

“Nice bakery in Chinatown that's conveniently close to a parking garage and has been around for many years. It's one of my go-to spots whenever I'm craving classic Cantonese pastries.
I usually stop by for their BBQ pork buns and lo bak go (turnip cake), which never disappoint. The shop itself is clean, bright, and well-organized, and the staff are friendly and efficient.
They offer a great mix of traditional Cantonese favorites and some unique treats:
Signature buns: Crispy-topped baked cha siu buns and classic pineapple buns
Specialty mochi: Huge, soft, and filled with flavors like mango, durian, black sesame, and purple yam
Traditional staples: Joong (Chinese tamales), buttery egg tarts, and steamed cakes like taro, radish, and chestnut
Drinks: Hong Kong-style milk tea and Vietnamese coffee
Seasonal items: Creative mooncakes and Lunar New Year treats
Overall, a reliable neighborhood bakery for both everyday cravings and festive goodies.“

“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.?“

“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!!“

“Busy at around 2pm on a weekday when kids get out of school but line moves fairly quickly. All of the salt breads were sold out, except for the original salt bread, and the hotteok kouign aman.
The banana toffee croissant was surprisingly my favorite. Other bakeries usually put way too much banana cream or put in additional banana artificial flavor that make the banana flavor too overpowering. But love how this bakery only puts in fresh slices of bananas. It was well balanced and delicious. The croissant itself was VERY good too. With the fruit and cream, it was divine. Just the right amount of toffee, banana, and light whipped cream. Highly recommend!!
The popular kalbijim croissant and injeolmi croissant were good…but nothing special. Loved the crunch of the croissant in the kalbijim croissant though.
Orange blossom croissant. It has orange almond paste, studded with chocolate chips, and glazed. It’s good. Appreciate the orange flavor brought through the pastry. But nothing special.
This bakery definitely makes amazing plain croissants.“

“Excellent choice for local, cheap dim sum in the Chinatown area of SF. You will see people ordering in bulk from here as they are also providers for other restaurants in the area.
There is seating outside with the shed they built. Pieces of dimsum or buns are cheap and ten dollars will get you full for a few hours of walking and exploring the city! Enjoy this hidden gem!“

“Baked Blooms absolutely came through for me last minute! I needed three boxes of cupcake bouquets for a Sweet 15, and they were able to help me on very short notice. I called the day before just to see if there was any way they could make it happen, and Sarah was so kind and accommodating. She went out of her way to set everything aside for me and made the whole process stress free.
The cupcake bouquets were beautiful and such a hit at the party. You can really tell they care about their customers and put love into what they do. I’m so grateful for their help and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for both amazing treats and excellent customer service!“
“Creamy and flavorful. Used the app Too Good To Go to try out a surprise variety of cheesecakes from Nash Cakes, which I had been eyeing for a while. They were pretty cold when I got them so I let them sit out for 20 minutes before digging in. This really helped bring out their flavors and prevent any crumbling of the cheesecake when piercing through them with a fork. I tried the Traditional, Candy Cap and Lemon Poppy. All three were delicious. It’s hard to really rank them since they all had their own unique flavors. If I had to though, the Traditional would be #1 and then Candy Cap and Lemon Poppy come in at 2nd together. Just depends on what you’re in the mood for. Candy Cap being warm with maple notes, Lemon Poppy being fresh with light creamy citrus notes.“

“Posh Bagel is such a solid spot. The bagel was super fresh, perfectly toasted, and had that ideal crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside texture. The cream cheese was amazing too — creamy, flavorful, and the perfect amount.
Simple, fresh, and exactly what you want when you’re craving a good bagel. Definitely recommend!“

“Couldn’t wait to sink our teeth into these amazing egg tarts, freshly baked (one of the best!). We were lucky to catch them while they were open since they have random hours. After years of waiting to get them again, these egg tarts are still just as eggy, custardy, warm and flaky (ie, delicious) as ever“

“They make a mean HK style milk tea - best served hot. Taken together with their buns it’s a match made for epicurean excellence. It tastes so good. Ended up buying a whole box and taking it to the beach . It’s a if-you-know-you-know type of place. Hugely underrated.“

“This outlet in Ferry Terminal is a great option for affordable grab and go items. They have a few sandwiches and some delicious turnovers as well as muffins and croissants. For $7 the ham and Gruyere turnover is a yummy and filling meal. Walk out to Bayside and grab a bench for dining with a view of Treasure Island and the Bay Bridge.“

“Picked up an order I reserved a couple weeks ago and very happy with my purchase and visit. Staff member that helped me was polite and friendly. And the location is easy to find since it's a corner shop. I ordered a princess cake, and it is absolutely delicious! Cake is light and fluffy, pastry cream tastes like good quality vanilla, and raspberry jam is the perfect tartness. So happy I found this bakery, I've been searching for princess cake for years! They were also able to accommodate my request of no dye being added to my cake, which I'm so grateful for! However, please keep in mind I made my order weeks in advance if you'd like to request the same customization.“

“Ive been to Butter & Crumble four times so far. My wait times in line have been: 15 minutes, 45 , 1 hour 45, 2 hours respectively. I can safely say that a 4.4 star rating for this place is absolutely criminal. Its the same phenomena I witnessed at Benu.
Customers come prepared with hyper inflated expectations not overpromised or curated by the establishment. They nit pick and complain about minor details (minimalistic decor in the case of Benu), and pastry price or line wait times for Butter and Crumble.
Yet, they overlook the deep ways that the business has evolved and its even deeper roots.
Name another pastry shop that it has the inspiring Grandmother's rolling pin framed in the corner. Name another pastry shop that has the father of the Owner working register and smiling genuinely at each customer. Name another pastry shop where you see the owner sprinting, smiling, working the drink area, handing drinks to customers, and grinding all things pastry and management. I doubt even Cédric Grolet can be seen wearing all of these hats.
Each time i've visited - the business has evolved to been even more considerate of its neighbors, customers, and community.
I doubt the majority of the less than favorable reviewers have ever worked a 5am baking shift in their life. I havent myself, but my mother was a baker and it's non-stop movement from start to finish. Even breaks only offer short reprieve until the bakers re-enter the sweltering pace of production to meet customer demand.
My original favorite pastry was at Arsicaults OG location until scale and expansion has made their quality still stellar, but variable. My favorite since my first visit is Butter & Crumble.
If SF and the community at large would like to keep this gem prismatic and multifaceted. Please begin or continue to acknowledge how great the product is and how hard the owner and workers labor to provide it for our community.
I would re-wait in the 2 hour line (I nearly did once already) for pastries of this quality. The price is fair and could be astronomically higher as a way to quell demand, but i respect and appreciate the prices as they are.
Thank you Butter & Crumble. My managers and coworkers also appreciate the quality you've provided.
BTW, this months Baklava Latte is insanely good. The Pistachio Cardamom Croissant continues to be world class and it even improves with each visit.“
“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“
“Red Hill Cake & Pastry in San Anselmo is a rare gem. I’ve tried a variety of their little quick foods and pastries, and every item has been exceptionally fresh, thoughtfully crafted, and full of flavor. The quality of the ingredients is evident in every bite — clean, balanced, and never overly sweet. What truly sets Red Hill apart is the harmony between elevated pastry craftsmanship and approachable pricing. It carries the charm of a European-style patisserie with a subtle New York bodega sensibility. A standout destination in Marin/Sonoma County for anyone who appreciates high-quality desserts done right.“

I’ve been coming to this bakery for years and I always get the smaller slices of cakes when I go. Everything is always fresh and great quality!!
