This is a popular neighborhood bakery that is also famous in the entire city. They're famous for…read moretheir Kouign Amann, French pastries with an Asian flavored twist. When the full size Kouign Amann runs out these breadsticks, see my photos, are excellent substitutes: caramelized, sweet, crunch, and flaky. Sort of like bite size Kouign Amann. The layered coffee / espresso cake is excellent, just the right amount of coffee, sweetness and cream. It's subtly sweet and just the right harmony of bite through the layers. It's a little small portioned but love the sleek rectangular slice. They often have seasonal, Asian inspired flavors such as sesame Kouign Amann. For holidays, order ahead, and arrive early. For fresh Kouign Amann's, get them early in the morning. They sell out. Location: near UCSF Mount Zion medical center.

Me and a friend went here on a Friday (in April - the menus change monthly). The owner requested…read morethat lineups start after 7:45 - we got there at about 7:50 AM and there was already about half a block's worth of line. Once the bakery opened at 9 AM the line moved fairly fast, but by opening time the line was down two blocks and wrapped around out of sight. We'd heard about B&C lines but even this on a weekday morning was surprising. Overall the pastries were very good, I will say that the savory pastries rank higher here than anywhere else I've been, but the sweet pastries don't. We got the Strawberry Rhubarb Cruffin, Lemon Bluberry Bun, Potato Artichoke Croquiche, Bacon Egg & Cheese, and Sam's Blood Orange Olive Oil Cake. The Croquiche was my favorite of all of them, and it was great warm, with a nice creamy filling. From the sweet pastries, my favorite was the Strawberry Rhubarb Cruffin - the rhubarb taste wasn't very strong but it was overall flaky, not too dry (even when eating it later in the day), and the cinnamon coating also didn't clash with the strawberry, vanilla, and orange. Least favorite was the olive oil cake; it was slightly bitter and the olive oil taste was dominating. These pastries are very large. Split between 2 people 3 of them were enough for us to be so full we saved the rest for later. I also got the Brown Butter Butterscotch Latte (iced), I'm not usually a fan of coffee but it was really good (it's very sweet so as a non-coffee drinker that worked out for me - the syrups overpower the coffee taste). The inside is cute with a pastel pink theme, we were able to snag the two seats by the window. I also liked the merch for sale and got a small print of the storefront. Definitely worth going too once, but due to the line I probably won't return until a monthly menu comes out that has a lot of things I desperately want to try. It's a top 3 bakery in SF for sure.

To get the best choice of pastries it is best to go before noon before some of the most popular items sell out. I was able to get Almond Croissants, Morning Bun, Kouign Amann and a chocolate chip cookie. My wife said they make the best almond croissant, not overly sweet and nice flakey croissant, she liked the Kouign Amann but she said B Patissere makes the best. The chocolate chip was big, soft in the middle with a slight crunchy edge, the cookie had a good sweetness balance. I was lucky enough to go at a time when there were a few porn parking spots. The parking can be a challenge but it is worth the hunt for parking to get some tasty pastries.

Will definitely work with Butter& for cakes in the future.

Butter & is a premier cake bakery in San Francisco…read more They create elegant special occasion cakes, with flavors that are unique, and change seasonally. Getting married? They offer a five slice option for cake tasting. You can purchase an additional slice from the seasonal selection for an additional cost. The tasting is enough for at least a few bites from each slice. I like the option of ordering the "sampler" and having the tasting in your own home. The designs for their cakes are that simplistic beauty that stands on its own. It's a very elevated look. The price point is on the higher end. Current flavor offerings are: lychee raspberry, brown butter/lemon, hazelnut/chocolate, double chocolate, and cookies and cream. You can walk in and purchase a slice for around $10.00. The offerings are whatever they have available. Lovely staff and a lovely experience.

Sweet Glory does not announce itself. No loud signage, no line out the door begging for your…read moreattention. Just a quiet marble table, a tiny vase with two yellow flowers, and a slice of matcha crepe cake that makes you forget what you were stressed about. I came in on a weekday afternoon and ordered the matcha crepe cake and a passion fruit refresher. The cake is the kind that looks almost too precise to eat. Dozens of paper thin layers stacked with the kind of patience most people reserve for things that actually matter. The matcha flavor is real, not the green tea powder imposter you get everywhere else. The drinks are thoughtful too. Not sweet for the sake of being sweet. You can tell someone actually tasted these before putting them on the menu. The space itself earns its own mention. Marble counters, natural light pouring in from the street, good music at a volume that lets you actually have a conversation. It feels like someone designed it for the experience, not the Instagram photo, which ironically makes it very photogenic. 4.7 stars on Yelp with nearly 300 reviews and I understand every single one of them. If you are in the Inner Sunset and you pass this place without stopping, that is on you.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Juniper should definitely be in your top picks for San Francisco bakeries. There's so much hype these days on social media about pastries in general, but Juniper delivers. I always go with a Pain Au Chocolat on my first visit as my litmus test and boy did Juniper pass. I also enjoyed the Kouign Amann that my partner got. I NEED to go back to try more, and can't wait. I have a feelin' I'll over-order next time and take some to go. My only regret was not ordering more, but we were walking around and didn't wanna lug a box of pastries :) Would absolutely recommend - the line moves fast and the service is friendly. Not a TON of seating, but people tend to eat and move on, so you should be able to find a table for two fairly easily. Bigger parties might want to grab and go.

No trip to Japantown should skip this San Francisco legacy business which is located inside a grocery store in San Francisco which serves a sweet and savory legendary San Francisco classic . It's called Yasukochi's Sweetshop. On a spring stroll through Japantown and I landed at Super Mira Market and inside you will find Yasukochi's Sweetshop. There are a variety of different cakes available that are sweet and savory. They have Lemon Crunch cake for those who are about the sour in SF. On the fruit side Yellow Cake with Strawberry Cream and blueberry and cherry Danishes. I got the coffee toffee crunch cake with a savory coffee taste in a bit of sweet .The texture has a honeycomb crunch and was a bit flakey like some in SF.
