andersen bakery had a long line on a tuesday 12:30pm--I think people were getting sandwiches for work lunches. I only wanted some breads, and tried the: - cream cheese walnut ($3.95) - matcha melon pan ($3.95) - anpan ($3.50) the breads were kind of hard until I warmed them up in the microwave (highly recommend). the matcha oozed out of the melon pan and wasn't too sweet, I liked it a lot! there was also plenty of matcha filling. the cream cheese was good but I wish the bread was softer. the anpan was good, there was a decent amount of red bean filling! read more

I like picking up fresh shokupan (milk bread) here. Easy garage or street parking vs Civic Center, and this location is willing to slice the bread thick, unlike their Civic Center and Burlingame locations. read more

Great if you like Asian-style milk bread but otherwise unremarkable but will totally suffice for a grab and go lunch. Enjoy making tuna salad sandwiches and kaya toast with their Japanese shokupan which is probably my top item at Andersen. Fruit roll cakes are pretty good too. Their other baked goods are decent but their croissants for example are not as flaky compared to other top spots in the city. This is not the spot for crusty breads but for softer baked goods and lunch sandwiches, this is it. Friendly staff a plus. read more

The sandwiches were delicious. The reason for 4 stars is that they didn't have many drink options. We thought they'd had more coffee options as it is a bakery. They several pastry options but not as much as we expected. We did get a croissant which was good too. The service was fast and they were busy. A lot of people coming in and out that are staying in the surrounding hotels read more

I have had an Andersen cake before and it was not bad so came by to get their half a sandwich & side salad combo for about $12. The sandwich size was fine but the two small thin slices of roast beef was the saddest thing I have ever seen. Usually roast beef sandwiches are stuffed with roast beef but not this place! However, place is clean and food taste fresh. A small menu of pastries, cakes, soups, salads and sandwiches. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a year now. I've walked past this place countless times, and I finally walked in and purchased a few items. I bought an ube pastry, that has ube cream filling inside. It was very tasty, and not too sweet. I also purchased a matcha cookie with white chocolate chips. I have not eaten it yet, but I'm sure it will be delicious. I will definitely return for more baked goods. read more

This is my go to for sandwich bread when I'm not making it myself, and for the treat of treats, the cream cheese walnut pastry. Service is always good even when it is slow. Ambiance is eh - I'm not going to sit here, I'm going to grab and go. read more

Always a good cup of coffee & excellent desserts here! Their sandwiches (classic sandwiches and Vietnamese banh mi's) are all delicious with freshly baked breads. Service of fast and efficient here, and the cashiers/ assistants are always willing to help and accommodate. It's a grab and go place with a few seats located inside the Japan Peace Plaza. Additional seating tables or casual seating benches are also available nearby and around the corner near the water fountain area. A great place to buy your bread to go, or to enjoy a cup of coffee before or after your meal, while visiting Japantown in San Francisco read more

Good spot for some ok pastries. Clean facility which was busy during the downtown work week hustle and bustle. I went here with some coworkers who raved about it from a previous visit, but we all left with an over-rated feeling. Overall, goodies seemed to be made well but just not that great tasting. read more

They are consistently good. The fruit pastry with cream cheese is my favorite, aa well as anything with walnut. I also like the cheese and tomato sandwich with mozzarella on bread that is super soft. The wellington sandwich was too salty. read more

Consistently good breads and pastries. Never disappoints. I love their cheese breads and loaves. Sandwiches and soups are good, too! Love the turkey, avo and swiss with the tomato basil soup. Their cakes are beautiful and always a hit at work and parties. read more

Ah, childhood memories of bread in a mall. It looks non-descript on the outside but the cafe is very clean on the inside and connected to some sort of office building, I imagine a lot of employees come here for a quick lunch or afternoon snack. I've always loved Anderson's cream cheese and strawberry danishes, and this location did not disappoint! read more

The pastries are good; the sandwiches are so-so. I've had two separate lunch experiences I was not thrilled with. The first I ordered a cup of tomato basil soup (which is actually really tasty and I like), but the cup was not filled all the way. The second time, I ordered a grilled cheese. I asked if I could have any sort of bread other then white bread and was told no. There were no changes allowed to the grilled cheese: cheddar cheese with white bread. Seems ridiculous to me that a bakery that specializes in selling sliced bread is unable to make a substitution, but I ordered it anyway. Unfortunately, when I opened the packaging the sandwich was only "grilled" on one side. The cheese was melty and good, but there's no excuse for the lack of toasting. I did not notice these things either time since I had taken the food to-go. It was just disappointing. read more

Wandered into this bakery on Thursday. The customer service is really good and friendly. The pastries and baked good looked mediocre but I was craving a fruit tart so I ended up getting a coconut mango fruit tart. The mangoes itself was very sweet! I was really surprised especially since it's winter time. The tart and cream itself is very mediocre. The tart is extremely thick and didn't taste buttery or flakey. The cream itself lacked flavor. I do see some reviews about their sandwiches so maybe I'll try their savory food next time. read more

Andersen Bakery asks the question "what if I wanted airport food but outside of the airport". Ok that's a little unfair because it's not priced like airport food but it's really pretty mid. But in moments of duress I've had a number of their grab and go sandwiches and they've always done the trick. read more

Would give zero stars if I could. Ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese along with a few other items. When the bagel was ready there was hardly any cream cheese - looked more like light mayo on a sandwich. When asked if we could get more, we were told we had to pay more and that they put "one serving" on it. Would have taken back our tip if we could. The food was subpar and service was just as bad. Will not be back and recommend going anywhere else (across the street to The Market or down a block to Cumaica or Peet's). read more

For those of you from the upper Midwest, that's Andersen with an "e", not an "o". Gayle, Jim, Marti, and I were walking the Van Gogh Immersive exhibit. We were a little hungry that morning, but with a huge meal the night before, something light sounded best. The Starbucks next door held promise, but we all wandered over the tucked away Andersen Bakery. Gayle and I both ordered different varieties of breakfast sandwich. We both agreed that the egg, tomato, and meat internals were good, but the good bread was an extra bonus. Inside service was good, and we enjoyed our meal at one of the small outdoor tables. Andersen Bakery was definitely the best choice for us that morning. read more

Quick, friendly service that always keeps their pastry case stocked. Pistachio cream, raisin twist...you can't go wrong.

Smaller selection but tasty. Coffee and pastry special is just under $7 still worthwhile.

Really like this newer spot. So many other sandwich places are charging $15-25 for a sandwich in SF and sometimes you just want a good 'ol turkey bacon club on sourdough that doesn't cost so much. This place is well priced and convenient to me so I find myself going here often. I order online and it's always ready for me to pick up by the time I walk over in between meetings. read more

STALE bread at a "bakery". How Ironic. P.S. - If you're going to make a sandwich with old bread, please don't charge $8: http://bit.ly/11RjRSG. Do you know how much someone can get for $8 in the nearby TL? It will probably come with a side of STDs but just saying... read more

They make their English muffins in-house and their samples are da bomb! Finally decided to check out this neighborhood place after constantly smelling their bread on my morning walks with my pups. This place didn't have stellar reviews, but they definitely work for me! Service is pretty fast, and selection is relatively good (for a bread place). The bread I got from here was good as well and lasted a long time. But that scrambled egg with cheese and tomato hits the spot for me! It's good to know I can still get a good deal on a breakfast sandwich in the area without breaking the bank. Likes: -samples galore -homemade English muffins! -fast service -relatively inexpensive Dislikes: -baked goods are addicting (but this is a good problem to have) read more

Do not let the guy cashier help you. I ordered a pesto bread toasted and sliced. He gave me a stupid jalapeno one. I could tell right out it was not pesto. I cannot eat jalapeno. That's a waste of $5. I noticed it wasn't even toasted correctly because the insides was cold. I scraped all that crap off the bread and tried to eat whatever I could but still that shitty jalapeno taste. I am so mad! Can't go back to complain because it's a long walk to my office and lunch time is finite. read more

My go to sandwich shop when I'm working in the civic center area. Delicious sandwiches and even better pastries!

We went for lunch at Anderson Bakery. I liked the tuna salad sandwich on whole grain bread. The price is right for an inexpensive lunch. Good service. its nice that they make the sandwiches when you order. read more

Always fresh, delicious, and wonderful quality. Recommend it. Thank you for always staying on the top of your products and service! You save many working professionals mornings to day time. read more

Good Yet not worth the $9.xx price tag. An interview brought me into San Francisco, specifically the Civic Center area. Was looking for nice, quick, and cheap bite before my interview. The atmosphere is very calm and customer service is fine. I would not come again for a second bite due to the price tag. However, if I was a working here and they provided a buy five sandwiches, get your 6th one free that would definitely incentive me. read more

Super busy spot on Market. They are fast and have good options.

Great place to get a muffin, breakfast sandwich or other pastry. Love the pesto bread but this visit we had a croissant breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese and sausage. Anderson's has polite employees, fast service and good prices. There is limited seating so it's best to enjoy your pastry once you get to your destination. If you're headed in before work give yourself a few extra minutes to place and wait for your order because it is busy in the morning. read more

Let's talk about why I got sick for 1.5 weeks and how it relates to Anderson bakery.... it was flu season end of 2017, last week of December to be more precise... I was but a lone wolf seeking sustenance on a quick lunch break in civic center. Having found great sandwiches at Anderson bakery in the past I decided to go in, I paid attention to a number of coughs-sneezes I heard from behind the counter while waiting for my food, I thanked them for my meal, heard cashier say to chef 'your going home early'.... nothing clicked at the time but soon after I come down with a nasty flu, I'm talking about headache, stomach ache, can barely keep water down, fever, chills add in some freakish cold symptoms like a cough and sneezes.... sick like a dog for 1.5 weeks exactly, not call in sick and Netflix chill sick, sick like hanging on to life contemplating this journey of life while having fever dreams SICK.... I make a recovery, this muts back in the races ... lunch rolls around and head into Anderson... I see that chef in the back, tell me why she is talking to another employee saying how she got 'food poisoning' and was out for 5 days, couldn't eat anything had fever and chills-- BAM it all clicks for me like a bad cerebral sci-fi movie ..... naw homie food poising isn't contagious and you spread that like the pesto on my chicken sandwich!! Now let's examine the REAL issue here .... why did this employee of a food prep company feel the need to come into work while feeling sick... I would like Anderson to pay employees more or possibly give more sick time to avoid situations like that. To be fair, maybe it was just a bad employee who abuses these things already given by Anderson? Idk I never worked there to know. My review is 2 Stars, would have got maaaaybe 4 had I not contracted the dog flu (what I'm calling it) from their chef read more

The food at Andersen is always good. But today I wanted to give them a shout out for the very good customer service I experienced. I order a strawberry cake for my staff and I needed it at 6:30AM. I was instructed to order online and the earliest pickup option was 9AM. I added a special instruction to pick up at 6:30AM. I called customer service day before to double check that they read my note and would accommodate my request. I have no trust in customer service these days! To my surprise they were familiar with my order and had already made the arrangement for me. The cake was ready early and delicious as always. Thank you Andersen Bakery at Fox Plaza! read more

Just grabbed breakfast here. The space is really cute and the perfect place to get a quick sandwich or pastry. I've lived down the block for a year so I figured as I move to a new neighborhood, I might as well finally try this place. After all, I'm not at risk to get addicted to a bakery if I'm 2 miles away, right? I ordered a tomato, egg and cheese on an English muffin and a large coffee. With tax, this came out to $7 which seems more than fair. They got my order together quickly and within 5 minutes I was chowing on my sandwich. Some things to know about me: I'm from New England where making a good breakfast sandwich is an art so as a result, I'm pretty picky about them. The one from Andersen was....meh. My main gripe is the kind of cheese used. It seemed like it was American cheese which is a big no-no. The egg was one of those weird scramble patties which is disappointing. They did give a nice slice of tomato and the English muffin it was on was definitely homemade and delicious. The coffee was fine and cheap, especially compared to the Starbucks across the plaza. This place definitely has regulars which adds to an interesting vibe. During my visit they seemed to know on a first-name basis everyone who came in which was nice. Their customer service seemed to also be great. A woman mentioned to one of the employees that her breakfast sandwich was burnt and they offered to make her a new one but she declined. They brought her out a free pastry anyway to make up for it. I thought it was very thoughtful and sweet. Overall, it was fine. I wish I had gotten a pastry but eh, healthy eating. If you're in the area before anything else is open (they open at 6), it's worth a stop but if you have other options (like La Boulangerie de SF or Corridor Cafe), go to those read more
