24 Best Bakeries in San Francisco

“I can't believe I've lived in San Francisco my entire life and hadn't had Liguria's focaccia until last month. I came in right before 9:00am on a Tuesday and was able to get three slabs of the pizza focaccia ($9 each), which is what my colleague who grew up in North Beach recommended, to bring to the office. It was easily one of the best focaccia I've ever had! No wonder they typically sell out well before they close for the day. I'll definitely be back to try the other kinds. Note: they're cash only.“

“Hands down THE best croissant in San Francisco. But they have so much more than that. Pates, quiches, desserts - and they all look so Parisian. Walking in is an exercise in self control. But the good news is, if you do cave in, it’s worth it!“

“Had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Everything was excellent and exceeded our expectations.“

“Updates:1. The chocolate chip cookies are actually so good that I have daydreamed about getting them again since I finished my first one. I like them so much I've been planning my week around getting back to Day Moon to get another.2. The baguette is really top notch. After getting it and devouring it for the second time, I've decided that we need to buy them two at a time in our family -- one for the drive/walk home, and one for later.3. Tried the cocoa carrot cake and it was very surprising and good.Original review:Home-runs that I'll be daydreaming about for a while:1. Baguette: It was warm and delicious. We devoured the whole thing on our walk home. The crust had the perfect crisp/crunch and the inside was soft. I think it was whole wheat sourdough.2. Strawberry scone: It was a totally different texture than the scones I'm used to. Instead of being buttery, sweet, and kind of dry, it was gooey and delicious. I think they used fresh strawberries, which helped add moisture. The top was dusted with sugar, but the scone wasn't overly sweet. Great scone!3. Chocolate chip cookie: Incredible. Great texture and flavor. Not too sweet. No notes.Also very delicious: the cheddar spring onion scone.Things I tried but probably wouldn't order again:1. PB cookie: It was better than most. I think almost all PB cookies are too dry though, so I probably wouldn't get this again unless I was craving PB.2. Lemon bar: The flavor was a little bitter and not sweet enough for me.“

“This place is the bomb. They know how to make the desserts and they’re not afraid to showcase that! I’ve tried the pistachio eclair and it was so unbelievably good. I am very happy. I still remember how good that was so if you are in mood of craving desserts or you need to impress your guest this is the place ! The balance on sweetness tartness is just perfect. I loved it. Can’t wait to be back.!“

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

“The buns here are really good. The bread was incredibly soft and airy with such a delectable milky-sweet flavor. Beef curry filling was okay but BBQ pork was excellent. Decent amount of filling, no red dye, and absolutely delicious. Pork floss bun is also amazing if you're looking for something more savory.“

“Belly is pretty lean with not much fat in terms of extras to entice. But what they serve, they do well. It has a young start up vibe with good precious offerings, a limited interesting menu for a bakery that also does lunch. It’s pretty much outdoor seating only sans the shade and expect a line. We are told by the counter staff it takes eight minutes to heat the savory mushroom pie or corn pastry with an egg inside. Everything was tasty.Personally I prefer muffins containing an egg to be soft boiled rather than hard, such as the morning muffin at Post Script on Jackson street which can’t compare to anything else. It was a fun place to try and I brought a couple of cookies home to try. The matcha latte was excellent, sweetened with brown sugar. I like that they use good ingredients on their spare cuisine. I do think they might expand the menu a tad.“

“My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Hahdough bakery to supply the cakes for our wedding. They were wonderful to work with and helped us to pick out the right 4 different cakes. Delivery was seamless and they worked with the venue for a timely drop-off. Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the cakes were! It was a great way to offer our guests multiple options while being super affordable compared to traditional wedding cakes. Not to mention that the cakes were beautiful (see photos).“

“I got them as birthday presents from my sister. The presentation and details in the chocolates’ design are so cute! The chocolates are neatly wrapped, I’m amazed that it’s still good coming from San Francisco, CA to Boston, MA. I also loved the different tropical fruit flavors that complements the chocolates. Perfect for gifts!“

“They are open! You queue up and the lady opens the gate, asks what you want and will bring it to you. The egg tarts are hot! Eat them immediately. The tart shell is flaky and the filling was perfectly made. $3.75 each, not that cheap but were good. Went around 5:30pm, waited about 15 mins!“

“They have great bread. And the croissants, unbeatable, accompanied by an excellent coffee with milk (latte). At the bar is Héctor, a very nice guy from Navarra (Spain). And there is another very friendly Belgian girl who gives you conversation if there is no queue.“

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

“5-star baked goods. Their oreos are outstanding - definitely our favorite. We enjoy their tarts and croissants as well. Their lunch time pizza slices have been excellent. Coffee and breakfast sandwiches are solid. I usually walk away with blondies, brownies, and cookies to take home. A must-stop for us when in the area.“

“We used Le Dix-Sept for a catering event for a house warming and the food received raving reviews. Recommend them!“

“The mini cupcakes are my go-to for work treats for my team and I snag a few extra for the parking attendants, they’re a hit with everybody! The fruit tarts, croissants and cookies are very delicious also, as is the quiche!Be mindful of the small space and all the signs instructing people to stay outside to wait in line until they are called in. Tons of entitlement leads to certain people just walking in and being totally oblivious to the practices set by the bakery.Sign up for their rewards, you could get first dibs on free items with purchase!“

“Absolutely worth the hype. I've been looking for a good bagel place in SF for two years now and I'm so happy I finally found one. The bagels are crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside, and the whole bagel is coated with everything bagel seasoning (it's a pet peeve of mine when the seasoning is only on one side). I will be back many times!!“

“Came here a few weeks ago after getting a tiny less than mid lox bagel somewhere else. It was more than satisfying. Bummed that I didn't think to just go here first for breakfast! It's a very small lobby with maybe a table or two but the service was great. I will definitely come back.“

“Τoscano Brothers has probably surpassed Daily Driver as the best bagel bakers in San Francisco. All their bagels are boiled but Tony Gemigniani puts his own Italian twist to the recipe and the result is an eye-opening, fresh and very chewy bagel with perfect texture. All their pastries and sandwiches are what you would expect: elevated and decadent. Kudos to their Detroit style pizza; perfectly made with a nutty, cheesy artisan crust topped with high-end mozzarella. This pie is better than anything I've had in Detroit that's for sure.Love this place, A+++“

“Delicate and delicious pastries! The flavors are fun and the execution is flawless. The Burnt Honey Pie was the highlight, but we loved the wife's cake too. There was no line and the owner was very nice. Can't wait to go back and try the pineapple cake and more!“

“Delicious and fresh almond crescent and Tasty latte, very enjoyable!“

“Amazing food. Fresh and delicious. Fantastic service“

“Best croissants and scones that I have ever eaten! They don’t dissappoint❤️“

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