*Dusting off the cobwebs* Not down there but my bookmarks. A savory cafe spin off of THE b. patisserie, B on the Go has been on my list to try since they opened in 2015. I was finally able to visit when I had an appointment around the corner. For those who may not know, b. patisserie is one of the best bakeries in the city from James Beard Award Winning Belinda Leong. She's an alum of Gary Danko and the defunct Manresa. She also owns Routier, a French bistro across the street. M E N U Array of breakfast and lunch sandwiches, everything is house-made (rotisserie meats) including their bread. SF affordable, nothing over $14. Breakfast sandwiches available until 2 pm. They have a limited selection of b. patisserie's bakery items: croissant, scones, and cookies (get their chocolate chip!). Kouign amann is not sold here. Coffee and bottled drinks available. F O O D * Porchetta Sandwich w/ chicharrones, arugula, chimichurri, house-baked ciabatta ($13.75 + $2 double protein): https://tinyurl.com/5u3ybmjv Thin, juicy slices of flavorful porchetta with crackly [chopped] chicharrones cradled by the fresh, crusty soft ciabatta. The bold garlicky, herbaceous chimichurri and peppery arugula cuts through the savory, meaty richness. BOMB. * Braised Pork Belly Breakfast Sandwich: Braised Five-Spice Pork Belly w/ egg, fontina cheese, spicy aioli, potato bun ($12.25) Sorry, no pic as I bought this for a friend. I watched the staff make it and was salivating. Generously thick slice of pork belly crowned with soft, custardy scrambled eggs. S E R V I C E Friendly and prompt. A M B I A N C E Cozy interior with eight tables and chef counter seating (open kitchen). P A R K I N G Very rough street parking. Overall, if you can't get to the Ferry Building for Roli Roti, I think B on the Go's porchetta sandwich is a great alternative and several dollars cheaper too! read more

2.5 Yelp Stars**** I love B patisserie and go there almost every week to get the fancier for my kids and a chocolate chip cookie for my husband. My husband heard the lunches were good at B so I thought it was the lunch menu at the bakery. Turns out there was a B on the Go savory lunch cafe across the street at the corner from B patisserie. Finally decided to try a lunch from here but nothing stood out to me like the one from the B patisserie lunch menu. I ordered the pork belly banh mi. It was the fastest banh mi I ever received, quicker than Vietnamese places. Right then, I already knew not to have my hopes up for a delicious Vietnamese sandwich. As expected, my banh mi was tiny and the bread was not toasted. The guy literally just stuffed the bread and gave me the banh mi. It was missing the pate (legit Vietnamese style banh mi) and slapped on with what tasted like sweet mayo. The carrots were drowned in vinegar so I could taste the acidic component to it. There were only a few pieces of pork belly like a beginner making the Chinese bbq pork aka cha siu. For almost $14 (double the price of most regular Vietnamese banh mi in the city), this was a great disappointment! Definitely would not recommend the banh mi here! However, I would recommend the mushroom cheese panini at B patisserie. I paid $14 a few times for that one because it was tasty. Service here was quick since there were barely any customers. The cafe was relevantly empty and quiet. Not my type of cafe. Most likely would not return. read more

I don't know why kids do this but they would always, ALWAYS eat dessert first. Is it a primal instinct to satiate that carbohydrate need? (not like they need more sugar!) I hid the cookie pastry bag in my purse and gave my kid her ham and egg croissant first. So, she ate her egg and left everything else and started digging into my purse for buried treasure. Of course, I'm a helicopter mom so I caught her on time before she stuffed her face with MY cookie. (that's right, it's my cookie, not hers. LOL) She grumpily finished the rest of her croissant with the promise of getting SOME part of the cookie. Meanwhile, like a responsible adult, I happily chowed down on my nuts and seeds salad. If that doesn't fill you up, order a couple of sides. Their tomato bisque is wonderfully tart and savory and the brussel sprouts are perfection. Also, don't sleep on their porchetta sandwich! I had it awhile back and while it may not rival Roli Roti's version, it beats going down to the Ferry Building and standing in line for that. read more

Across the street from b patisserie, this spot serves more savory options like soups and sandwiches. There is ample seating with plentiful light through the large windows. No wait as it's usually less busy than its sister cafe. Ordered the tuna melt and the tomato soup. Delicious and filling! Would come again if in a pinch for lunch in the area. read more

Great salads and sandwiches. Perfect lunch spot. Can't wait until they reopen after remodeling.

Ham, cheese, and egg croissant was amazing... very hearty to say the least! Very generous with the eggs and layers of grilled ham. Toasted croissant. I regret not getting their chocolate chip cookie, but I thought it was too early on a Saturday morning for dessert Would not order the drip coffee again though (very bitter). A lot of empty tables on a Saturday morning (if you're looking for a place to chill). read more

The food was super fresh and perfect for a quick bite--you can really taste the quality of the ingredients, all fresh and likely organic. It's tucked right across the street from its bakery counterpart (THE B. Patisserie), but this spot focuses just on savory. That said, knocking off a star because the space felt pretty grimy and not well maintained, which is surprising given how recently it opened (as of May '25). Favorites were the tomato bisque--smooth, slightly sweet, and perfectly seasoned--and the porchetta sandwich, which came with a chimichurri that was chef's kiss. read more

I've passed this place so many times, and now that I know how good it is, I will be back again. The sandwiches are perfect. The bread is made in house, and the selections are familiar offerings (bahn mi) with unconventional twists like cauliflower, chicken, and eggplant. While this place is known for take out, the friendly and helpful service will have you wanting to stay and enjoy whatever you order. The cookies look amazing but will have to wait until next time. Breakfast menu looked excellent. read more

I was looking for a place to get a quick and small meal. I went here around 4:30pm on a Saturday and there was a short wait. This restaurant is very small inside, so I guess that helped make the wait shorter. I was more in the mood for food, so I got The Gobbler sandwich. I loved all the veggies and havarti cheese mixed in this sandwich since it went well with the roast turkey slices. I tend to like Turkey sandwiches, but I didn't find much in their menu so I would like if they had a bigger variety. I'd recommend this place! The sandwich I got was good and later I found out that you can build your own sandwich, but I didn't know that when I ordered. read more

solid porchetta sandwich. waited a bit for someone to take my order as they were all busy with assembly. i ate in but would take out if i visited again, restaurant was very warm probably due to the ovens, large windows, and september heat. read more

I was in the area and after looking at the nearby lunch options, decided to grab a sandwich here. It's a nice bright corner spot and the gentleman behind the counter took my order right away. It looks like it may not always be on the menu but I got a roasted Turkey sandwich with bacon and other fixins. The desserts looked good but I decided to skip today. I took a window seat and my sandwich was brought to my table in about 5 minutes. Despite the large workspace they have in the back, it was fairly quiet with some chill music playing. My sandwich ran about $11 which I thought was good considering the reputation I have in my head about b. Patisserie. I'd definitely return and recommend. read more

Stopped here on a rainy day and it was the perfect hit! We got the tomato bisque soup with ham & cheese sandwich. The tomato bisque was creamy, slightly sweet and salty. With the ham & cheese sandwich it was the perfect duo. The hand & cheese sandwich was made out of one big slice of bread and was extra cheesy. Pro tip: walk across the street and go to B. Patisserie. It's worth the wait! read more

Mom always said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and B on the Go's great vegetarian breakfast sandwich makes it special. Hint: The breakfast sandwiches are only served on weekends. I happened to be nearby, and thought I'd order the cauliflower banh mi, when another guest said the sandwiches are large. I noticed the breakfast sandwich menu and chose the vegetarian one, with a house made potato bun instead of the cheese scone. They looked so light and fluffy. My sandwich was quickly made, and the counterperson is quite nice and knowledgeable. This is a generous sandwich, and the potato bun is delicious. How could one include so many ingredients that are perfectly balanced? It's warm too! The garlic aioli is a great touch. I will return to try the other sandwiches, and on the weekend for an important breakfast. I suggest you do too! read more

Stopped in around 9am on a Sunday. No line and ample seating, while there was a long line for B. Patisserie (sister restaurant) across the corner! The restaurant is simple and you order at the counter. We got a pork banh mi and a breakfast sandwich (ham & cheese) to go. We loved the banh mi! They allowed subs for the bread on the bfast sandwich. Also offered basic drip coffee (did not try) and some baked goods. read more

Really solid sandwiches! Got the gobbler with spicy mayo which cones on hard bread. Interesting option to have brussel sprouts in a sandwich as well. Toasted to just the right temperature and about $12 per sandwich is great for SF pricing. Large indoor seating space too read more

I wish I took a picture but my breakfast sandwich was so inviting I ended up just diving right in. Ordered the Braised Pork Belly sandwich and it was AMAZING! I got it to go to bring and share with my partner and even after having the sandwich sit in the box for 30 minutes, it was still nothing short of delicious. Fluffy eggs over succulent braised pork belly - so rich and tasty! I loved how fatty and soft the meat was and appreciated that neither the meat nor eggs were overly salted so you can really enjoy the taste of the ingredients on their own. With that said, the sauce packed a nice punch of flavor and there was a perfect amount, not overdressed at all. Part of me wishes I got a whole sandwich for myself because it tasted so good but honestly the half sandwich (+ a cookie) was more than enough for a filling breakfast! read more

We go there at least once a week, normally Sundays, for sandwiches that are as good or better than any place in the Bay Area. Not crowded like the main B Patisserie. Not fancy, just clean and comfortable, and the staff are friendly and efficient. A whole-hearted, five-star recommendation for this gem. read more

Whenever I'm craving a tuna melt, this is the place that fills that craving. It pairs well with their tomato bisque. They have interesting can and bottled drink selections. Today they had different flavored seltzer. If I'm up for something bubbly with my food, I'm always reaching for their bottle of root beer. This place isn't as packed as their sister store, B Patisserie. Service is fast and the place is cozy. It's a great place to just sit down, grab a bite to eat and go back to exploring the city. Parking can be difficult because it's street parking, be definitely worth circling around for. read more

I ordered The Grec (rotisserie chicken, tomato, cucumber, red onion, herbed yogurt) as a salad. It was fine, but underwhelming. The base was mixed greens. The chicken was mostly dark meat, and I wish it had been at least been half dark/white meat or that there was a choice. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning and was the best start to the day! We ordered the Braised Pork Belly and Friend Chicken sandwiches, which are weekend only specials. Both were amazing but if I had to pick one, I would've chosen the fried chicken. It came with a delicious white sausage gravy sauce that I could devour by itself. The braised pork belly was also great with a generous portion of egg. Though the sandwiches are on the moderate side, they are a great in between of satisfied but not overfull. But if you come super hungry, maybe just order two because you'll be able to try another great sandwich anyways! Can't wait to come back here! read more

First time. A casual spot across from the main location. They feature sandwiches, salads, and a few baked items. We had the tuna melt and banh mi. Service was friendly and efficient. The sandwiches are made to order so they can take a few minutes to make. The banh mi had a good taste but we were surprised that it was not served on the traditional soft roll, but rather a larger sandwich type bread. The tuna melt also had great taste and was exactly as expected in terms of presentation and taste. Both sandwiches were filling. We couldn't get over that the banh mi was non traditional and didn't quite meet up to the "expectations" for a traditional Vietnamese sandwich. Nonetheless, t was still a pleasant sandwich. The best item was the cookie. Substantial, sweet, chewy, and full of flavor with every bite. We tried to buy a second one since the first was eaten in minutes but it was sold out. We settled for the traditional chocolate chip cookie which mind you was also very good as each bite contained chips that melt in your hands and mouth, but the oatmeal cherry was by far the best, IMO because it's not a typical cookie that you would find. Check this casual spot out for a place to chill and enjoy a nice lunch. read more

Delicious sandwiches, wonderful space to sit or work. The baked goods are also very good.

Good place for a sandwich though it is a little pricey for the relatively small portion. The pork belly in the Bahn mi is very good, the combination of ingredients creates a very tasty and satisfying flavor. The ham and cheese was also good though not as interesting. I also got a ginger beer which I liked a lot. The service was good and we got our food pretty quickly. They have free water as well. Overall, a great place for a quick bite. Much better sandwich than your Panera for a similar price. read more

Came by for lunch the other day and it was a fantastic experience! Street parking in Pac Heights was available. The staff working behind the counter were all wearing masks along with Shamrock brand latex examination gloves for safety. Ordered the Porchetta salad and it was huge! The salad was very fresh and light. The vinaigrette was also light and wasn't overly acidic! The porchetta was very fresh out of the oven, warm and super tender! Portions were huge! Sufficient for lunch and dinner! They have plenty of tables for indoor dining. There is also a bathroom next to the bussing counter! read more

B on the go has some of the BEST vegetarian sandwiches in SF (I've tried a lot of places!). Our favorites here are the Cauliflower banh mi and the Brussel sprouts with Parmesan. The salads are decent too, but their veggie sandwiches are what stand out to us the most and keep us coming back for more. The portions are generous for the price, and the ingredients are consistently fresh. Cauliflower banh mi- the bread is the perfect crispy texture and portion is balanced with the other ingredients. The flavors of pickled veggies, cauliflower, jalapeño, and spicy mayo pop on your taste buds. It can be a little messy, but that's part of the fun my dream sandwich would be this one with some slices of avocado, although I don't think the restaurant currently allows for this customization through their online orders system. Brussel sprouts with Parmesan and anchovies- the focaccia bread on this one is to die for. It's super fresh and has a nice glutinous chew. The Brussel sprouts have a good char and are cooked to ideal texture. The Parmesan flavor is complementary to the subtle bitterness of the sprouts. My fiancé would've liked more anchovy flavor but that's her personal preference. This sandwich is also very messy, beware We are really excited to try their mushroom cheese sandwich next time we visit! read more

Got their ham & cheese croissant. Pretty solid, though I've gotten their other sandwiches before and thought they were pretty average. I believe that their breakfast sandwiches menu (which is separate from the main menu) is definitely the way to go! Service was as per usual, I ordered quickly and then had a seat. Name was called out & I picked up my food. I do like the ambiance- it has that casual cafe ambiance where you would be fine to just sit and work on your laptop. They do play music in the background which might be a bit loud, though I believed it was at the perfect level- where it wasn't too distracting. read more

Went in on Thursday at 3pm. Club like loud music blaring. Way too loud to talk inside. Also not welcoming to people when the music is that loud. Bahmi potk belly sandwich was super soggy. I don't think they strained the carrots/veggies enough. Porkbelly was dry and tough. The roasted brussel sprouts were barely cooked and difficult to chew, but nicely charred. Only order if you have good teeth and can chew well. Best thing I ate was the chocolate fudge cookie. The staff was nice. read more

Always a solid spot for sandwiches. My go to is still the porchetta sandwich. The bread holds the ingredients well and the arugula provides a bit of freshness. Also had the roast beef torta. The peppers, cheese paired well with the roast beef. It's a bit of a messier sandwich. They are currently just doing takeout. Take your sandwich to Alta Plaza Park and eat, while enjoying great views of the city! read more

I was visiting my sister and she suggested we get some sandwiches for lunch at this location. It was a weekday slightly after normal lunch hours so we were able to find ample seating for 4. The food came relatively quickly and tasted so amazingly fresh. We tried several options and the pork banh mi was my favorite. The cauliflower banh mi was good but I just wouldn't get it again at that price point. Definitely recommend! read more

Surprised o haven't reviewed this place yet but I've been here many times before and even now during quarantine they provide a sense of normalcy to my past trips into the city. They had easy ordering online via the website and ordered porchetta Sandwich and lots of pastries. The porchetta meat has the right amount of fat and they add just enough skin cracklings to give it a good crunch. It is also placed on an artisan bread roll with greens so it is a very good lunch sandwich. For the pastries, I highly recommend the KA and the chocolate chip cookie if you haven't had them before. Honestly it is my favorite cookie of all time. See my b. Pattisere review to see what I mean. During covid 2020 they are open Friday Saturday and Sunday and allow you to order online or at the store. I recommend ordering ahead so you don't have to wait as long and your items are boxed up for you to enjoy at home. Pickup line had 1 person in front of me where the order and wait line was around a dozen deep. If you order there, you order at the register and they call you when your box/bag is ready. For pickup they had my items ready when I arrived. Support local and shop small. read more
