Patisserie/Cake Shops near South San Francisco, CA

“I love this cafe. The team is outstanding despite some shortcomings. They truly make it up. For example: the place has no AC. It’s great most of the time unless it’s very hot, which has been the case lately. I haven’t met the owner yet. I would suggest changing their bread. The bread they use for the sandwiches just isn’t up to their standards. Overall, awesome coffee. Everyone on the team is just outstanding and patient. Keep up the great work!“

“Whenever I go to seafood city, this is one of the spots I have to go to before leaving. The place is small and clean. People who work here always greet you right away.
My main go-to here is the sliced cakes like the yema caramel or chocolate mousse. I also like to get the butter mamon, yema caramel ensaimada, and cheesy ensaimada. I always recommend double-checking the dates on these. I saw so many complaints on the reviews about this, but I feel like it's a 2-way street. You can't assume. I personally always check the dates out of habit because not only do you want the freshest, but at the same time, you have to be practical. You can't buy and make your own variety and later realize it expires in a day or 2. It's not possible to eat a dozen in that time between 2 or 3 people.
My mom likes the empanadas from here and the palabok. So there is something for everyone.
The prices are a little expensive but it's a good thing to buy once in a while.“

“This is my go to spot to get some pastries. It's pricey ($4.99 and above) and the pastries are good but could be less bland. It's ok, for me, tho. I wish it had more variety, so, I check here often for something different. I nearly tried all their pastries by now.“

“Ordered birthday cake and it was divine. Cake was so moist and delicious. Customer service was fantastic too. Will definitely order again“

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

“What a little gem away from the centre.
We entered and the smell of pastry shops enveloped us. They had a lot of choice but we went for a banana pie (10 and praise) and a Pain e chocolat (8.5). The
All accompanied by two chai lattes.
There are few seats and even outside so it is better to arrive at off-peak times.
Excellent breakfast.“

“Wonderful service. They accommodated our custom requests that were placed shortly before the delivery date was due.The cake itself was delicious and a hit amongst everyone. The fact that the cake was not too sweet was the icing on the cake, so to speak.“

“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.?“

“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.“

“So good!!! We got 6 pastries for 2 people, everything was so good. My favorite was caramelized pineapple pie, milk bun, melon bun with ham, and passion fruit custard bun.
Started staying in line 5 min before opening, and I think we go the last caramelized pineapple pie. so, if wanna get the popular items, make sure to come there early“

“I asked Gabby at Cake Coquette to design a two-tier Frozen-themed cake for a 5-year-old girl’s birthday party. I emailed her some samples that I found online. And she did not disappoint! The cake was a huge hit at the party. We chose Devil’s food chocolate cake with coconut cream and chocolate ganache, and the outside was fondant. I highly recommend this bakery for custom cakes.“

“Excellent ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤜❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥵🥵“

“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“

“Made a quick stop here for a donut. The vegan options were listed in green. The Apple Cinnamon donut was incredibly delicious. Just the right chewy texture with cinnamon sugar coating and pieces of apple mixed in the dough. I will be back to try more flavors!“

“Easy and convenient with great options!!“

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

“Wonderful customer service and extremely happy with final product. Amazing cake work!“

“This hole in the wall is so good! There are so few shops in San Francisco that sell fresh and tasty pastries, most are hard lumps. I haven’t enjoyed pastries this delicious outside of Europe. Super happy to find this spot. It’s difficult to tell if they’re open early in the morning as the signage is small, so give a good look around so you don’t miss it.“

“We did a five-course, intimate, dessert tasting at Bellaria. Every item was hand-crafted, thoughtful, innovative, and delicious. It started off with savory bites before moving into the main attractions. Our party absolutely loved the Mandarin and White Tea dish with seabuckthorn and tonka. The Pear Tatin Roulade and Souffle Bread Pudding were expertly crafted and technically impressive. The Chocolate dish at the end was the perfect bite to end the meal. And everything (besides the caviar) was vegan!I can't wait to see what else comes out of this innovative dessert studio. The space is small so you'll have to sign up in advance for the tasting, but it makes it intimate and homey. It makes a great date night!“

“sandwiches, parking, professionalism“

“I love this place. So chic! Has artfully made desserts. Each one is so unique, beautiful and tastes delicious!“

“I love the breads at Noe valley bakery. My favorite is Seeded Levain but their chocolate cherry bread, sour wheat, olive levain and walnut bread is also great. The staff is very helpful and they also slice the breads if you request them. Their chocolate brownie, croissant and cookies are great as well!“

“Randomly visited and bought two pieces for yesterday. I was a bit skeptical about the price／value (a bit pricer than Lady M), but after trying the cakes, my families and I all think it deserves! Cakes are fresh and flavorable, with just right sweetness. We love both the passionfruit and the sesame flavors. The sesame one was especially beyond our expectation. Out of our heart, we recommend this shop and will visit more times in the future.“

“I was just visiting this city and fancied Sans Rival but the other Red Ribbon store sold out of this goodness so we decided to come here. Service is efficient, store is well-lit and clean. However, the only drawback: the texture of Sans Rival was like of cardboard. It tasted deliciously buttery but once we sunk our teeth into the pastry, it's tough. Hope you improve the storage to keep its crunch and freshness.“

“They make a really good flat white & their pastries are quite delectable!🥰“

“Ever since Simply Cake opened in the area, they have been our favorite place for Hong Kong style baked goods and the only place we go to for birthday cakes. It's delicious and elegantly packaged. The cakes they made for our grandma's 100th and 101st birthday have gotten a lot of thumbs up from those who had it. It's a tradition for us to to keep coming back for 102nd and onward! The staffs are friendly and we love it that it's the same guy who took the order from us for the 100th and 101st birthday cake order!“

“I can't rave enough about 85 Degrees Bakery! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with the delightful aroma of freshly baked pastries and breads. The selection is incredible, offering a wide variety of sweet and savory options that cater to every taste.

The bread here is soft, fluffy, and always fresh. My personal favorites are the classic milk bread and the tantalizing taro buns. Their cakes and desserts are equally impressive, with the perfect balance of sweetness and flavor. The mango cream cake and the chocolate mousse cake are absolute must-tries!

On my last visit, I tried their caramel latte, and it was perfection in a cup. The rich, smooth coffee paired with the sweet, buttery caramel was a match made in heaven. It’s the perfect complement to their delicious pastries.

The staff is always friendly and efficient, ensuring a pleasant shopping experience every time. The quality of the baked goods at 85 Degrees is consistently top-notch, making it my go-to bakery. If you're looking for delicious, high-quality pastries, bread, and coffee, look no further than 85 Degrees Bakery. Five stars all the way!“

“Good Ambience, Something for every Palate. Hot/ Cold Beverages. Fresh Chilled Mousse and Cakes Look Scrumptious“

“MY REVIEW IS IN REFERENCE TO AN ONLINE ORDER AND DELIVERY!

I decided to order from Paris Baguette for the first time for myself to get two birthday cakes for a coworker of mine and this was the nearest location to my workplace. My aunt has gotten a Paris Baguette cake for my grandma on her birthday before so I knew the quality of the cakes are fantastic for a treat for someone you want to surprise.

I ordered a Maple Pecan Layer Cake and Vanilla Scream Ghost cake for my coworker two days before surprising them. One cake to celebrate Autumn and the other is to celebrate Halloween (birthday coworker loves Halloween). The online ordering process was really simple. The cakes came out beautifully with the Happy Birthday message written in chocolate on the white stand they were on + they came with 8 birthday candles, the plastic cake knives Paris Baguette has, and matches stowed on the plastic knives. The delivery driver was affiliated with Door Dash and delivered the cakes to me at my workplace with care.

My coworkers really liked the flavors of the cake and the coworker whose birthday it was finally got to try out Paris Baguette for the first time. The vibes of our small, work birthday celebration was very homey and I’m glad Paris Baguette contributed to making it happen. Thank you so much!

I had a slice of the Vanilla Scream Ghost cake. It had a very soft, sponge cake texture and that pleasant vanilla cream texture and flavor that is characteristic of Paris Baguette. Delightful.

I wish I got photos of how well the cakes came out (I was too focused on getting things ready for the surprise), but I can assure you that it was a happy and tasty celebration for those that got a slice. By the end of the day, all the cake was gone!“

“Excellent service, great quality bakery, a relaxing ambiance, and (again) wonderful employees. It was easy to grab what we wanted. We arrived around 12:30PM and most of the bakery was still in stock.

We asked the worker at the register to see if they could toast some of the bakery with meats and they gladly helped! They were jumbling around a few customers as well and they got to help us in a timely manner. huge props to them for the help!

The coffee and drinks were very delicious. The bakery was great and the location of this place is great. We parked at the Safeway parking lot and walked. It was an easy and very accessible.

Overall, an excellent place to get your bakery goods, delicious cakes or sandwiches. Would highly recommend coming here before you trek outside of San Francisco!“
