    I always like to check out different bakeries and buy at least one thing. I bought their nutella banana croissant. Never had a croissant with banana before and surprisingly it actually tasted good. I will have to try their other menu items next time. They have sitting areas so you can stay and chill if you wanted to. Service was regular.

    My how the mighty have fallen. Sadly the Brazilia was nowhere to be found so we ordered a slice of Capuchino to share -- not what I remembered... falls flat. I think they might have a new baker and it's not hitting the mark

    I just happened upon this indie bakery when I was sauntering through West Portal and spontaneously found myself on Ocean Ave. This bakery was standing right in front of me just waiting for me to come in. Initially I thought it was a German-style bakery because I saw a dazzling array of cakes, in particular, the chartreuse princess cakes that looked like the ones at Schubert's on Clement (Photo 3). The vibe was not accidental as owner Keith Truong spent time training in European bakeries before opening his place in 1988. I could tell it was a neighborhood establishment because a constant stream of regulars kept rotating in here while I was hanging. I could've easily gone to town on any of the pastries and muffins on display, but I was able to show some restraint. Well, kinda sorta 'cause I got two items. One was the $3.75 Walnut & Cinnamon Rugelach. I must have a bit of Fran Fine in me because I couldn't help myself and slyly murmured "Mmm, good" when I bit into it. And since it was on the next tray, I got the $2.75 Raspberry & Chocolate Spiral (Photo 8). "Mmm, good". The small $3 cup of Coffee was the right warming lubrication for these dense goodies. This is definitely ambrosia I can return for. FOOD - 4 stars...rugelach like my mommala would buy AMBIANCE - 4 stars...good amount of seating in here SERVICE - 4.5 stars...the young server was particularly attentive TOTAL - 4 stars...definitely worth another stop...is there a princess cake in the future of this princess?

    Double Cappuccino
    Issy V.

    Ambrosia has some of my favorite cakes here, the Fantasia and the Horchata. Both of them are my go to for any celebration or if I'm trying to sweeten up a deal, if you know what I mean. Lately I've been coming here for the cappuccino and a cheese danish to get my morning started. Why do I pick Ambrosia time and time again, well first it the customer service here and they make a great cappuccino, the traditional way, and just the way I like it! To me a cappuccino has to be 25% steamed milk, 25% espresso, and 50% frothy foam. Always hits every time I'm here taking the morning in and chilling at a table planning out my day in my semi-retirement. Come see for yourself why I enjoy Ambrosia so much and buy a cake!

    Showcase of deliciousness the green is the Princess Cake.

    Small, quaint, and bursting with edible masterpieces--that's Ambrosia Bakery. The staff move through the cozy space like seasoned dance partners, gliding past one another with easy familiarity. The pastry case alone is a hypnotic experience; you could lose track of time just admiring each delicate creation. We picked out more than a few to share, and every bite made it clear: the ingredients are fresh, the craftsmanship intentional, and the flavors genuinely elevated. They serve hot coffee and a thoughtful selection of teas to pair perfectly with whatever you choose. And then there's the star of the show--the princess cake. Mascarpone, sweet cream, and raspberry tucked between soft layers of white cake. It's pure bliss. Ambrosia Bakery is an absolute must-visit when you're in San Francisco.

    I stopped by this small bakery on a weekend afternoon and it was such a pleasant experience from start to finish. The shop was semi-busy but everything ran smoothly the line moved quickly and the staff handled the rush with ease. The space itself was clean, bright, and welcoming which made waiting in line no problem at all. I ordered a few chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin cupcake, and a couple of slices of cake. Every single item was absolutely delicious the cookies were soft and buttery with just the right amount of chocolate, the pumpkin cupcake was moist and full of flavor and the cake slices were perfectly balanced and fresh. Overall, this bakery really impressed me. Great service, great treats and a comfortable atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm in the area!

    Cozy bakery near home. Glad to be able to support local business. My daughter was craving for a slice of princess cake. So after going to the local public library, we decided to take a trip here and treat ourselves. I must say the staff are all so friendly and professional. The place is kept clean. The cake was delicious. My daughter was satisfied and happy. I took home a slice of carrot cake and a slice of fantasia cake. Everything tasted delicious not too sweet and fresh too. Come give this place a try for yourself!!

    The fruit tart is to die for! It's filled with a delicious custard and fresh sweet fruits on the top. You can never go wrong with bringing it to a gathering!

    Raspberry Croissant
    Emily D.

    I have not been to Ambrosia in years. Had an appointment near Ambrosia so decided to get a Raspberry Croissant that cost $5.25. I cut the croissant in half so I could see the raspberry filling. OMG look at the almost non filling! It was almost a plain croissant! No thanks; I expected a little more filling than what I got.

    Raspberry twist
    Ry T.

    3.5. I like their fruit tarts and cakes better than their pastries. But I do like their raspberry twist. This visit, I bought several chocolate croissants and plain croissants and one raspberry twist. The plain croissant was on the dry side but flaky. Always stop by periodically to get their sweets.

    Strawberry cake
    Amy S.

    The cake was great! I ordered 4 twist pastries and they were bent to get into the bag. There was not a great description of each pastry. The service was good. The inside of the bakery is relatively simple. For 4 twist pastries and a pice of cake was $25

    Princess Cake
    Judy L.

    So so so delicious! I've been to Ambrosia a few times and am never disappointed. Most recently, I ordered a slice of Princess Cake. There were layers of raspberry filling, custard and whipped cream. The outermost layer was made of Marzipan and it definitely tasted like sweet, fluffy almonds! I'm glad I only ordered a slice of cake because I could probably eat the whole cake haha. Service was fast and the establishment was clean! Would definitely stop by again and recommend you do too! :)

    Noel C.

    Came here for their fruit tarts. The fruit was fresh, nicely balanced with the cream, and not overly sweet. A solid dessert choice if you're in the mood for something light and refreshing.

I showed her the order number, and she responded, "What is it?" even though I had just shown her exactly what she needed to locate the order. It was frustrating and unprofessional, as she appeared completely unaware of the orders that had come through that day. I also purchased a pastry and a drink. The total came to a little over $11. I had $11 in cash and a $100 bill. She immediately said they did not have change. I told her she could either accept the $11 or give me change. She then went to the back and returned with change. This raises the question of why she claimed she didn't have change in the first place. Her attitude throughout the interaction was rude, dismissive, and unnecessary. One particular staff member was clearly the issue, and I hope the store manager is aware of her behavior.

I've had Cherry Blossom Bakery egg tarts before and really enjoyed them! The crust is perfectly flaky and the custard is lightly sweetened. SO YUMMY!!! Great as a dessert or snack! I've had my share of egg tarts and I think the ones Cherry Blossom makes are one of my favorites in the city. The lady who helped me was nice and efficient. There were many other delectable pastries in the display case, but I intentionally came for egg tarts. I'll have to come back and try other things, but I would still include egg tarts! I ordered a few egg tarts this time. I ate one fresh, but stored some in the refrigerator for a few days in an air tight container. They still looked good after 2 days! Amazing!! Many times I would do the same with other egg tarts from other bakeries and the next day, you would see a crack in the middle, wrinkly custard, or the custard would peel away from the crust. But no problem with these! They store well and taste heavenly! Oh, and they were $2 each. 5 stars!!!

I happened to park outside and walked in because I was curious about this place that advertised all the Chinese bakery typical offerings along with some hint of Starbucks along with some traditional Chinese Soy Milk breakfast varieties mixed with Dim Sum. Once inside, it is exactly that: Not a fusion of things, but rather some varieties of each. You have coffee: iced and hot versions of expresso, latte, Americano. Bakery staples like pork buns, hot dog buns, coconut buns, etc. Dim Sum stuff like sesame balls, egg tarts, steamed buns, porridge, and soy milk. We bought some baked buns and some egg tarts that turned out to be fantastic. The coconut bun was delicious. But, I would say the crusts of the egg tarts are comparable to that from the famed Golden Gate Bakery in Chinatown, but for only $1 each. Many San Franciscans can tell you that this is not an egg tart quality that can be found in most of the Chinese bakeries in town...Good Job!! The staff is friendly and helpful. They've opened for only two months. I like what I have tasted so far, and would definitely return to try other things that they offer.
