“Family stopped in while passing through. They were pretty crowded for 10:30am on a Friday, but service was fast. They have about 12+ flavors of bagels and about the same number of cream cheeses (also available low fat which is nice). They also have sandwich options, several serve yourself coffee options and bottled juices. I had a cheddar -jalapeño bagel with lox spread and it was the best bagel I've had in quite some time (including a recent trip to NYC). It's a tiny place, but I highly recommend.“

“Best GF bakery!!! Amazing!!!“

“Huge shout out to Juice GIrl for supporting me last week during my spring cleanse. thank you for your high quality products and attention to detail !!! good jobbers!“

“Love it doesn’t mind waiting for goodness pastry’s!“

“Went here on a Wednesday morning 20 minutes after opening. Wasn't busy and no lines. Parking wasn't too difficult to find.

Loved the old school, no-frill vibes of the shop. They sold merchandise, olive oil, cans of tomato sauce, their own dough on the counter. I ordered a pizza focaccia and for the size you get it's absolutely worth it. The dough itself is very soft, fluffy and bready while the ingredients didn't exactly have a pizza flavor, but it was still delicious. I lightly toasted it a few days afterwards and I loved how it came out.

Overall, a staple in the neighborhood for a reason. Homemade goodness. Good customer service. Highly recommend going.“

“Seriously, good bakery, and seriously great people. It’s a neighborhood treasure. I went there for the first time today and I will definitely be going back.

I tried the peanut butter cookie and the baguette, and they were both excellent and my friend had some other loaves of bread and told me about all kinds of other Great stuff that he gets there regularly“

“Stopped by Arizmendi Bakery and picked up a brownie and sesame shortbread—both were absolutely fantastic! The brownie was rich and fudgy, while the sesame shortbread had the perfect blend of nuttiness and buttery goodness. They made a wonderful pairing with my tea at home, creating a cozy, indulgent treat.

Arizmendi continues to impress with their unique flavors and quality. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious baked goods that feel both comforting and a bit special!“

“The BEST Baklava in San Francisco!“

“Very good and authentic, just has long lines so be prepared.“

“Absolutely charming spot! With amazing mid day light and refined antique aesthetic, they serve top notch coffee and baked goods. The environment is comfortable and unrushed. Babka, chocolate labneh cake, cream puffs and floral cakes, it's really hard to go wrong with the selection and quality.“

“I travel to France often so when I was in San Francisco and heard about this cafe from Red Blossom Tea Company because they sell some of their teas. It was like walking into a French cafe. I loved their baked goods options. I had a beurre cookie. Délicieux.“

“This place has amazing and authentic Cuban style food and drinks. the pastries are made in house and are world class. the customer service is stellar. the amazing flavors of the food will bring you back, over and over. #cuba“

“I’ve had nothing but great food from this place“

“The best coffee in San Francisco.“

“CASH ONLY!!!

It was really good. I WOULD not wait over 30minutes for it. I was waiting for my family while they were shopping at an herbal store ???

Egg custard ??? they don’t let you go inside. Nice sweet Chinese lady came out of the doorway to take my order. CASH ONLY. Handed my order over after I ordered.“

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

“delicious german bakery!
ordered the beesting cake and poppy seed roll
beesting cake: one of the best cakes I’ve ever had! the cream is so light and it pairs really well with the almond layer on top
good mix of textures and flavours + not too sweet!
poppy seed roll: expected poppy seed lemon flavour, but what made it really good was the crumble on top! it added a nice change in texture
the roll was very large for the price so it was a good snack for our picnic :-)“

“Best dessert focused bakery in the city delivered with a smile and east coast efficiency. Other places might have a slight edge in a few products but across the board Schuberts takes the cake for best S.F. bakery. Start with an assortment of reasonably priced personally size cakes including the puff pastry and chocolate mousse cake.“

“First time coming here, you'll probably buy 1 of each (BBQ pork bun, pineapple with char siu bun, spam and egg bun, cocktail bun, and others). Second time coming here, you'll buy 7 BBQ pork buns because they're that tasty and you don't mind eating them for breakfast for a week.

Side note, if you want to buy curry buns like I did, come in the afternoon; that's when they make them (or so I was told).“

“The place is buzzing with people.

I got:

1) black sesame guava brambleberry danish - this was really excellent. The texture of the sesame plus the jam was awesome!

2) breakfast sandwich - was kinda average, a bit dry

Excited to come back and try the Kaya toast!!“

“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.“

“Beautiful and delicious gluten-free fruit tarts. Americano was very good! Lovely plates make a wonderful display.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.“

“I’ve had their croissants, sandwiches, and pastries (all good), but I just had a $2.50 Ciabatta roll from there and I can’t stop thinking about it. It hit the spot and would love to try their baguette and pizza dough next time! The bread is where it’s at!

They also have an adorable green outdoor patio space that transports you to a different dimension and time. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Easy and convenient with great options!!“

“Love it doesn’t mind waiting for goodness pastry’s!“

“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.“

“Fun little shop! In and out, pick your diabetes poison, pay cash or card, enjoy outside. I had my mind on ANY of the buns. Just waited in line for a sign. Something fresh was brought out, the guy ahead of us ordered 6, I asked what's that, they said "the real pineapple bun", of course we got it, and 2 mini mooncakes (pineapple and winter melon)!

Bun was warm, suger crust, and ooey gooey middle with Pina chunks! HEAVENLY

Not vegan, probably vegetarian. I took one full lactaid.“

“Injeolmi (home made Korean rice sweet rice cake)croissant: The best thing about these injeolmi croissants, is that the rice cakes are wonderfully stretchy when they're warm, so you get that gooey "cheese pull" effect. (It's part of the kalbijjim croissant's appeal as well--and one of the reasons the bakery has a dedicated oven for reheating pastries.)

Croffle: a delightful light snack with a sweet glazed waffle crust hiding buttery soft & chewy croissant layers within.

The honeycomb latte will melt the honeycomb crumble and make it sweeter over time. Just eat the crumble to stop sweetening the drink.“

“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.“

“We had a grilled chicken sandwich that was excellent, and a chorizo omelette that was tasty but quite heavy. The service was friendly and welcoming, but it was slow—from taking our order to serving the food and refilling coffee or water, everything took a bit longer than expected.“

“I love this place. It's a great integration of classic cantonese baked goods with modern baking sophistication. Her sponge cakes are consistently delicious; the flavour combinations work so well, my favorite is the black sesame jasmine. Today I got a mango passion fruit cheese tart that I inhaled; so creamy and yet light. A must visit on the weekends.“

“If there is one positive thing came from the pandemic, it is Philippe Delarue’s ingenious idea to open up a bake shop here in front of his flat. It’s one of my favorite places to invite friends on Saturday or Sunday morning.You can’t go wrong with any of his goods, but my personal favorite is the bread pudding. Delarue will generously add his “adults only” whiskey sauce upon ordering.He is too humble to bring up the story himself, but ask him about his journey here – including stints in Le Mans, Paris, London, and Montreal. I can’t locate the article anymore but I think he once had the honor of baking for the queen! ☺️“

“Honest, down-to-earth coffee with normal prices and if you're lucky like we were, a few neighbors sit together at the next table and talk about their everyday lives, which makes everything real and endearing. The coffee and cake were very good and the whole thing without shouting names, some of you will probably know what I mean.
Opposite is a park where you can watch Thai Chi groups and a few steps away is a great church, Peter and Paul, worth a visit if you like it.“

“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'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.“

“The best babka I've ever had. Incredible texture, chocolate quality, and baking skills on presentation here. I would go so far to say this babka is an achievement on the levels of the great SF bakeries (Tartine, Jane, b. patisserie). As an at home chef, I know how hard making things to scale can be and I commend the owner for scaling something this special.

Had a picnic with the babka pie, cake, and rolls. Cardamom, chocolate and hazelnut, and pumpkin. My personal favorite was the chocolate but everyone in my group had a different favorite. You can't go wrong at this wonderful bakery!“

“I was rather upset when I moved into Marin County because my favorite bread place was Raymond's in South San Francisco. Then one day at Safeway I decided to try a Bordenave's extra sour baguette. I am in Seventh Heaven. I'm hooked onto these beautifully tasting baguettes. One day I'll make it to their bakery in San Rafael.“

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

“We hired Baked Blooms for our wedding, and it was easily a highlight for us. The cupcakes were delicious. Sarah was so easy and a joy to work with. We ordered center pieces, and she loaned us the beautiful holders. We also got additional cupcakes for a cupcake stand. Thank you so much! I'm attaching photos by our photographer, Xenia Park.“

“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!“

“Debuted at the end of the pandemic in response to an ethnic slur Dago Bagel from Tony Gemignani is one of three concepts inhabiting 728 Vallejo Street, and from Thursday through Sunday beginning at 08:00am guests are welcome to enjoy everything from true New York Style Bagels to housemade loaves and traditional Italian Pastries made with skill and love.

Liberally using Malt and a Cuppone Panettone deck oven imported from Italy, plus stone-ground Flour made on-site, visitors attention is next drawn to Toscano Brothers including “Gold Standard” Baguettes and Organic Sourdough Ace Pagnotta incorporating Spelt, Rosemary and Olives into a 40 year old Sourdough starter.

Trending sweet from here, a Sour Cherry and Chocolate Batard souring local produce and TCHO Chocolate, Tony’s “Piattina” cuts a wide swath of textures and flavors before Antonio’s Italians Pastries rounds things out with classic Rainbow Cookies and world-class Lemon Ricotta Cake plus silky Budino hidden alongside Prosciutto and Mortadella in the cold case.“

“Really good pie is hard to find. Every pie I have ever ordered from Butter Love has been extraordinary. I am known for bringing great pies to social events. The peace and blueberry crumble I brought to Flower Piano was so delicious and even after I left the last piece in my car in Sacramento in the heat for hours it was still incredible.“

“This is my favorite bakeshop in San Francisco. I've been visiting whenever I'm in town to visit my aunt. Excellent selection of pastries, delightful little spot though not much seating. Delicious. Delightful. Delectable. Excellent spot.“

“really to die for bread!!! i got:

- the daily special: labneh, broccolini, mint, and chilli crisp
- toad in the hole: poached egg, garlic sage butter

both to die for, though i’ll note the bread gets kinda burnt in the back. but it’s okay because the taste is still great.

will be back for the black pepper parmesan bun & one of the sweet toasts!“

“Excellent pies...highly recommend“

“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“
