    Ginger and carrot quick bread. Delicious! Moist with a hint of spicy.
    Kristen S.

    They're at the ferry building farmers market every week. I usually get the cookies (good but not exceptional), but decided to venture out and try other things today. Ginger and carrot quick bread: Excellent. Moist, flavorful, with a kick from the ginger. German chocolate cake: Delicious. I'm a German chocolate cake fanatic. IMO this one is well above average. The cake is moist, and the frosting well balanced. Apple cake: Looks better than it tastes. Perhaps because it's overly sweet... and the cake is a little dry.

    The little shop on the corner of California & Kearny

    I love this little outlet of Batter Bakery - it's conveniently located on my way to work and I oftentimes stop by to buy a little something for a co-workers who helped me on a project: you can't imagine what a peanutbutter-cup cookie will do for your relationship with your office mates! Their brownies are excellent and so are the cupcakes; especially the carrot cake cupcakes.

    Sand Angel Cookie ($2.50) Did the prices go up recently or something? o.O My sand angel cookie tasted quite different (not as great) than when I had it last time. I was a bit disappointed. hmm... I came on Friday at 7:30am. They opened at 7:30am and they were just setting up. Nothing was quite ready and the lady working at the kiosk looked a bit frazzled. She still had a lot of baked goods to unload and organize. I felt a bit bad for her cause there was already a line forming! O_O All these crazy women wanting their sweets at 7:30 in the morning! My golly! The worst possible question you could ask a frazzled lady in a kiosk is, "What do you recommend?" And that's what I'd asked. hahaha I wanted to see more of what they had and wanted to try something new, but of course not all the items were put out yet. =\ If it's your first visit, I'd recommend NOT coming right when they open. Give them time to set up and help the people who know what they want first. I'd maybe recommend sometime after 9am/10am?

    Cute kiosk

    I really try to limit my sugar intake on a regular basis...but I couldn't help myself and had to try Batter Bakery. The kiosk on California St. really only allows one customer to browse and buy at a time, but there wasn't a line when I went (before the lunch rush), so all was fine. The staff member was really nice, friendly, and helpful. I mentioned that it was my first time there and she recommended the scones and the sand angel cookies, so I got one of each, along with a piece of banana bread. I got back to the office and taste tested each of them. They were SO good. I'm used to eating cookies that are overloaded with sugar to the point that I'll put them down and never pick them up again, but that wasn't the case here. The sand angel was sweet but had a depth of flavor--a combination of gingerbread and snickerdoodle and jus some yummy goodness. It was packed with flavor, so I didn't eat it in one sitting, but I went back to it throughout the afternoon. The brown butter banana bread was the same way. It was perfectly sweet, moist, and flavorful. I could taste actual fresh ingredients, which made all the difference. The pear scone was tasty, moist, and fluffier than store-bought ones, which I appreciated. I can't wait to try more. Also, don't forget to ask for a punch card. Once you purchase 12 items, you get one free!

    Recommended by my name twin, this sweet little kiosk is strangely located on the corner of Kearny (correction!) and Montgomery and hard to miss. They have the cutest and scrumptious looking desserts!! I got a lemon cupcake, which was kinda small for $3 but sooo satisfying. The cake was moist and light and the cream cheese lemon frosting tasted alot lighter than Sprinkles but still packed on big flavors. My cousin got a sour something lemon something muffin. It was good :P Chocolate chip cookie samples! Melty chocolate and semi-crunchy cookie... mmmMmmMMMmm It's a delicacy so kind of pricey. What a treat.

    Great cookies (especially when heated up!) but stinky attitude of one of the servers.

    This beautiful kiosk catches my eye every time I walk by, today I decided to give it a try. Walking in, the selection was great, catering to every type of craving. However, I was not greeted and the worker looked like he was in a bad mood. Before I walked in, he was picking his nose, maybe that was my sign not to go in. But considering it was their happy hour I wanted a bargain. This location is great because it has lots of foot traffic. This is borderline Chinatown and attracts lots of tourists! The Cookies were delicious and made big enough to share.

    I'm definitely in love with this adorable kiosk. It looks like it should be a flower shop or newspaper stand, but instead it's filled with fresh baked goods attractively displayed in glass jars and paper bags stamped with Batter Bakery's logo. The big thick cookies, brownies, and bars all look tempting. They were out of cupcakes that afternoon. I saw that they sell Siggi's yogurt - my favorite yogurt - and homemade granola. You can tell by looking at everything that they bake with love (the baking occurs in SF). The shortbreads come in interesting flavors like sesame ginger, honey vanilla, lavender sea salt, orange pistachio, etc. I bought a pack of 10 all honey vanilla shortbread cookies ($5.50) and they came tied with a brown satin ribbon. Oh, the flower shapes were adorable. The cookies were thick and soft. Most shortbread that I've had tends to be dry but theirs wasn't. It was amazingly good. They smelled faintly of honey and were sprinkled with crunchy raw sugar. It's a shame they don't have room to sell drinks. I would love some hot tea to go with my shortbread cookies. Apparently if you arrive early, you'll see scones, muffins, granola, coffeecake and quick breads (breakfast items).

    Chocolate & Vanilla cupcakes. The vanilla was confetti color inside :)
    Hayley D.

    My boss gave me some of these cupcakes. Both vanilla and chocolate, I only tried the vanilla though. They come in cute individual cardboard boxes and fit perfectly inside. The vanilla cupcakes are actually confetti color inside (rainbow specs) which I thought was cute. The texture of the cupcakes was good, just a little bit dry... the frosting was good, pretty light and not overly sweet. I guess after 3pm the cupcakes are cheaper, so that's good to know! I probably won't be back just because I like other cupcake places in the area better.

Currently Arsicault Bakery has three locations: Inner Richmond (the flagship location), Civic Center, and Mission Bay. There is a plan to open another location in Palo Alto in fall 2026. [Parking]: Street metered parking only, but there are plenty of 30-minute metered parking spots in this part of the neighborhood. [Ordering]: There was no line when our party arrived at 2:30 PM on Saturday, but the shop had run out of everything except chocolate croissants and plain croissants. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Chocolate Almond Croissant, Kouign-Amann, and Morning Bun. *** Chocolate Croissant ($6.00): Great croissant with ultra flaky texture, but I wish it had a bit more chocolate filling. *** Personally this is one of those "good but not that good" croissant shops. It would have been nice to try their almond croissant and few other baked goods, but I had to make this visit count with whatever croissants they had left. This is one of those spots for visitors to come as soon as the shop opens if you want to secure some of their most popular and desirable baked goods.

It ended up taking us over two hours to get our pastries, and by the time we reached the front, some items had already sold out. This time, we decided to arrive right when the line opened at 7:45am on a Friday. Personally, I'd rather get there early, wait a little over an hour, and have the first pick of pastries than arrive later, wait even longer, and risk missing out on items. We were the third party in line and placed our order around 9:05am. By 9:15am, we had our pastries and drinks. After our first visit, I wasn't completely convinced the wait was worth it. The pastries were good, but the long line and wait time didn't feel justified. This visit, however, may have changed my mind. We ordered: * Madame Lorraine * Chorizo & Tot Croquiche * Morty P * Strawberry Vanilla Bean Bun * Pistachio Cardamom Sugar Croissant * Rocky Road Double Chocolate Cookie * Classic Croissant We also got two drinks: the S'mores Mocha and the Cherry Vanilla Almond Cappuccino. Don't skip their drinks, their specialty coffees are just as creative as their pastries. I really appreciate their rotating menu. Their pastries are always so creative, and I love that they experiment with unique flavor combinations that you don't typically see at a bakery. Some items are definitely more memorable than others, but I enjoy that there's always something new to try. Their pastries are well executed. The croissants are flaky and buttery. This visit, my personal favorite was the Chorizo & Tot Croquiche. Overall, this visit was a much better experience than my first. If you're willing to wait in line, I think it's worth checking out. Otherwise, you can always try your luck with their Hotplate presale.

    *** Takeout Only and Cash Only ***…read more Pineapple King Bakery is a popular bakery that specializes in Hong Kong-style baked goods and drinks. The bakery was pretty quiet when it first opened, but after COVID it gained popularity on IG and now there is almost always a short waiting line here. There is also another location in Fremont. [Parking]: Metered street parking only and the shop is located in a busy part of the neighborhood (Irving Street Chinatown aka the "Third Chinatown"). I got lucky and immediately found a 30-minute metered parking spot nearby. [Ordering]: There was a short waiting line, but luckily it moved fairly quickly. Be prepared to place your order as the staff did not really answer my question when I asked "What are the most popular items here?" Customers can also place online pickup orders via the bakery's website. [Menu]: Per Pineapple King Bakery's Top 10 Items list and Square online menu, some of the most popular items include Guava Butter Pineapple Bun and Croissant Egg Tart (Portuguese egg tart). All drinks come with a complimentary Pineapple Bite. *** Egg Custard Tart (regular HK egg tart - $2.35): A solid egg tart, but it wasn't very flaky and tasted cold. Croissant Egg Tart (Portuguese egg tart - an upgrade of the traditional egg tart with croissant crust and caramelized top, $3.90): Definitely an upgraded version of regular egg custard tart and the croissant crust made all the difference. Guava Butter Pineapple Bun (one of our most popular items - cold, sweet, and smooth butter inside a warm pineapple bun - $4.65): S-tier bun with a soft & pillow-like texture. Hot Hong Kong Milk Tea drink with a complimentary Pineapple Bite (small, regular sweet - $5.25): I sampled the drink and it had the right balance of slight black tea bitterness and a hint of milk with just the right amount of sweetness. *** Top-notch pineapple buns and I can definitely see the appeal. Now that I know the drink comes with a complimentary Pineapple Bite, I actually prefer pairing the Pineapple Bite with the drink rather than ordering pineapple buns with various fillings on their own.

It's definitely a busy area so expect to park in one of the nearby residential areas or be extremely and walk/bike/bus here! Upon stepping into the tiny shop, I was enveloped in the sweet smell of chocolate chip cookies. It was tempting to put that in my bag, but I stuck with my game plan. They do self serve for all the baked goods and drinks except the pizza and focaccia. You tell the cashier what you grabbed. There's self serve complimentary water on the side too. Got a pecan swirl, one of each square focaccia flavors, and a half pizza (hot). The pizza flavor of the day was triple mushroom with sesame ginger garlic vinaigrette and mozzarella. It was 10/10 delicious!! Do note that they don't heat up the focaccia. Personally, after tasting everything, I'd say the pizza is more worth it than the focaccia "pizzas". The pecan roll was quite addicting too. You can also skip the line if you want to order online on their website and schedule a pick up time, but my gift card didn't work so I just waited in line.
