I've heard so much about the Kaya toast and it definitely lived up to the hype. The milk bread was toasted, with a slightly sweet, pillowy soft interior. The pandan coconut custard jam had a great flavor and was super smooth. The addition of flaky salt on top was a good addition for both texture and sweet-salty balance. For a savory addition, I tried the chicken cutlet, which was juicy, freshly fried, and had a good five spice flavor. Overall, excellent food with a creative menu I look forward to exploring more. There's very limited seating (2-3 small tables) inside, but more table and bench seating outdoors. Service was quick and friendly, and it's easy to order ahead to pick up. read more

Wow, the Kaya toast and iced black sesame cappuccino were delicious. Both are must-order items if you're craving a sweet treat. Make sure to mix the iced drink well since the sweet part sinks to the bottom. It is soooo good when mixed and has a balanced nutty flavor. The bread for the Kaya toast is a thick perfect piece of milk bread and the pandan coconut custard jam on top is to die for. The little bit of flaky salt is such a nice touch that perfectly balances all the flavors. YUM! Staff were wonderful. There's a ton of seating outside which was perfect to enjoy the nice weather. Line moved quickly and service was fast too! read more

Daughter and I have wanted to takeout from Breadbelly on our many previous visits to San Francisco, but it was always closed by the time we went out for our walks. After 2 appointments this morning, I made good on my intention to walk out earlier and get lunch for my father and myself. As I approached, I noticed a group of young men having a friendly gathering after placing their orders. I noticed later that they shared the famous Kaya toast among other things. Poll workers were also enjoying their lunches. Upon entering, I was directed to the menu to the right of the register which had explanations of the bunwiches. Because of a coconut allergy, I asked if the pandesal bun had any coconut. My server asked a coworker, but to be sure he could ask the chef. I decided to order the featured Asparagus Egg Salad Bunwich and the Shrimpwich that a few of the Yelp reviewers said was a must. I found my server to be friendly and respectful which I appreciated. It made me glad that I had paid a visit. While waiting on my bunwiches, I placed an online order through Toast local for the Food for the Gods and Almond Jam Cookies. It said that it would be 15-19 minutes about the time my bunwiches would be ready. My server brought my order in a paper bag with a handle out to me as I was waiting on the bench and even checked a second time that the desserts were packed in the bag. He wished me a good day. I would have to say that I enjoyed the featured Asparagus Egg Salad Bunwich more than the Shrimpwich. The Shrimpwich had a little spice to it that I could not appreciate which my father did. The Shrimpwich has a panko fried shrimp patty, coleslaw with shredded carrots, takuan remoulade, and avocado sauce. I found out that takuan is a Japanese pickle made from Sun-dried and fermented daikon radish and is used as a palate cleanser. The Asparagus Egg Salad Bunwich had asparagus and mushroom kakiage which is a crispy Japanese fritter made by tossing the asparagus, thinly sliced mushrooms, and shredded onions in light tempura batter and deep-frying them together to give an airy fritter with lots of flavor. The Bunwich also has miso mustard sauce, sliced cucumber, and mizuna. I had to look up what mizuna was, too. Mizuna is Japanese mustard greens full of vitamins A, C, and K and the antioxidant lutein (an antioxidant taken in a supplement for age-related macular degeneration). The mizuna was very fresh and green used as baby greens for the Bunwich. The Food for the Gods was food for Dad. It was moist with the ingredients of Medjool dates found in Mediterranean cuisines, toasted walnuts with omega-3 fats, and molasses. I had never had cookies containing umeboshi which I discovered to be a salt-pickled fruit related to the apricot. Umeboshi is salted, often dyed with red perilla leaves, and dried yielding a wrinkled texture. Umeboshi is a superfood in Japanese culture that is used to help digestion and bloating. It contains vitamins A and C and iron. My father loves strawberries and the cookies have a strawberry plum jam. We thoroughly enjoyed having these cookies with our green tea. I would buy these almond jam cookies to share with a friend. I was introduced to a lot of foods that have health benefits. I would be happy to come again. read more

Going down Clement street in San Francisco it changes once you go past Park Presidio Blvd. You will notice there are less stores and restaurants than the first mile of Clement street. You will also find a bakery on 15th Avenue and Clement which is always crowded and cramped with people when I go at anytime of the weekday and weekend to get some pastries . It has Asian inspired bake goods along with hot and cold drinks. You will find bake goods such as Cherry almond cake, Mt. Tam Basque Cheesecake and purple sweet potato Not-Ube Tart. You will see on the menu made to order sandwiches like these egg salad bunwich and Biscuit Smash. You will also find the Shrimpwich and Taiwanese-style fried chicken cutlet sandwich. It's called the Breadbelly in the Richmond District of San Francisco. On a Spring stroll in search of matcha on a rainy day in SF , Don Juan de la Matcha found some warm matcha. I came to Breadbelly for the green items like the Kaya toast and Matcha. I decided to get the Matcha cappuccino which was smooth warm and not too sweet. Although it was only 8 ounces every drop was strong and packed a punch ( not the viral monkey). I then had the Kaya toast and it was a bit sweet and not too flakey like some in SF. The green Pandan jam on the Kaya toast was a bit savory but delicious . There are few canary yellow tables to sit inside and a lot more seating outside. Overall a good place to grab and pair a green dessert and a green drink. Go on a Spring stroll past by the Park Presidio green "trees" in San Francisco where the weather can easily change in one day and go from 50 to 70 "degrees" you also can grab a sandwich like the fried chicken cutlet which the style of "Taiwanese"and the matcha which is done in the style of the "Japanese " Come for a "break" at Breadbelly where they "bake "the Kumquat Twice-Baked Croissant and other baked goods like some in SF which "flake"and make it a meal and try their egg salad bunwich , matcha cappuccino, and cherry almond "cake" read more

Had a little extra time today. So. Hubby and I went to get breakfast. Breadbelly Biscuit Smash - buttermilk biscuit, black pepper sausage patty, scallion omelette, peanut romesco sauce, new school American cheese The biscuit was so crunchy, the egg cooked just right and the sausage was cooked perfect. So tender. Classic Croissant - croissant made with Beurre d'Isigny, French Normandy butter All the associate's there provided great service. The deco was very simple and nice. They had a great outdoor seating area. It is a must visit. read more

Hadn't been here in years but glad to see Breadbelly thriving! It was packed on a Sunday afternoon, lots of folks out in the parklet and inside as well in the limited seating. Most pastries were sold out, just a few options left at 1:30. Kumquat twice baked was on the sweeter side as most twice baked croissants are. Don't see kumquat often so was glad to try it, but wasn't my fave since it was pretty dense, especially with the crumble on top. Black sesame cappuccino was small but mighty, very flavorful, and I especially appreciated staff giving me a heads up that it's typically on the sweeter side, giving me the option to dial that down per my preference. I think the kumquat croissant was $10 and the black sesame cappuccino $7, so on the high end for sure. read more

Been wanting to try this place after seeing it everywhere online. I came around 12 pm on a Saturday, and the wait wasn't too long to order and receive our food. The inside doesn't have much standing or seating space, but there's a large parklet out front with plenty of room to sit and enjoy. Kaya Toast (9.5/10): Definitely as good as it looks. The inside of the bread is super soft and fluffy, with a croissant-like buttery flavor. The jam is sweet with a prominent coconut-pandan note and pairs perfectly with the crispy toast to create the perfect bite. Extremely delicious and well worth the hype. Breakfast Sandwich (6/10): Pretty disappointing after the toast. Overall, it felt very boring and didn't bring much excitement. I wish the ham had more presence in each bite, the lettuce felt out of place for a breakfast sandwich, and I couldn't really taste the chili paste. I liked the sweet and sour kale, but it got lost among the other components. The sandwich was also messy to eat, with a mix of textures that didn't quite work together. The best part was the bun, almost like a perfect burger bun, which saved it from being a complete miss. I think Breadbelly really shines with its sweet and baked goods. I'd definitely come back for the Kaya Toast and to try more items from the display case. Savory items don't seem to be their strong suit, and I'd probably skip those next time. Still, the high from the toast gives me a lot of hope for the rest of their menu and makes me recommend it overall. read more

Breadbelly is a pretty good bakery in the Inner Richmond in San Francisco, and one of the best parts is that there is hardly a line. In a city where many bakeries have people waiting down the block, that alone is refreshing. The kaya toast was the standout. The balance of sweet coconut jam, butter, and crisp toast was excellent and easily the highlight of the visit. The breakfast sandwich was just alright. It was solid but did not quite reach the same level as the kaya toast. The coffee was good and paired well with the food. Overall, it is a nice neighborhood bakery. I would definitely come back if I were in the area and did not feel like waiting in line at one of the more popular bakeries around the city. read more

Wonderful, delicious, spectacular. The kaya toast was the mf bee's knees holy hell. Just bread and pandan coconut jam IDK but it was stellar. Taiwanese chicken sandwich banged too. Very tangy and could have been sweeter but hey the milk bread is just stunning and again the Kaya toast is just delectable read more

The food is very good and fresh. The service is generally minimal and nice. The ambiance is nice but small, mostly outdoor seating. My only gripe is this place is way too expensive. I usually get a pastry or the Kaya toast. It's well over $10 for a location that only has outdoor seating and they ask for a tip. The wait is also extremely long. Like way too long and it doesn't matter the day. I was there today on a Thursday morning and it took like 15 mins. Part of the reason is they wait for many orders to be done before they get yours, like a batching system. The Kaya toast while good is not a normal thing for the length of time. If you're gonna be expensive, be fast. The Kaya wasn't made right now and the bread was sliced and toasted. The expensive price structure is a shared sentiment amongst many people I've talked to. read more

Breadbelly - Kaya butter toast - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm so happy I finally got to try Breadbelly over the weekend! It's a famous Asian bakery that has two locations in the Richmond and Dogpatch. I went to the Richmond location around 10am on Sunday, and there was surprisingly no line (one started as we were ordering, but it seemed to move relatively quick). I ordered the Biscuit Smash, Kaya Bun, and Gyernbang. Biscuit Smash 5/5: Such a decadent savory sausage biscuit sandwich. My favorite part was the scallion omelette inside, and I also loved the flavor of the sausage. It was really filling too! Kaya Bun: 5/5: Honestly paired well with the savory biscuit smash and provided a nice cool sweet refreshing desert. The coconut cream on the inside was addicting. Gyernbang: 2/5: A cool concept for a savory egg desert, but I felt that it wasn't as flavorful as the other bites. I probably wouldn't get this one again. There was also a good amount of outdoor seating, so perfect when the weather is good to enjoy a pastry and coffee outside! read more

Breadbelly's aesthetics and menu was very hard to resist and I kept seeing the kaya pandan toast everywhere so I had to get it! The area itself is very nice and quiet and pretty easy to find parking. they have a lovely outdoor seating area as well that is dog friendly! We actually came by two weekends in a row! The first time we visited, we tried the black sesame cappuccino, kaya toast, and biscuit smash, I don't know what I was expected from the cappuccino but it was very peanut butter-y and coffee like which aren't my favorite things but it was still definitely enjoyed. Now I normally don't order anything with biscuits because it can be very dry, so I usually get breakfast sandwiches but I am not a fan of ham, so we thought, let's give the biscuit smash a try. The biscuit itself was so soft and fluffy and exceeded my expectations. The sandwich though I felt like the proportions were a bit off. The pepper sausage needed more flavor, the egg was way too big, I couldn't' taste the sauce. We had to deconstruct the sandwich to really taste everything. The kaya toast though was everything and more. Light, fluffy toast, with the perfect pandan coconut whipped sauce on top. I am not quite sure what it is but its like this beautiful pandan glaze with salt on top. Perfection! Reminds me of many vietnamese desserts. When we visited the weekend after, we came with a bigger group so we basically ordered the entire menu. New things we tried included the crabwich, shrimpwich, chicken cutlet, kaya bun, ham and cheese croissant, and hojicha chocolate tea croissant. The crabwich is the most expensive item on the menu and I am afraid it was bit of a let down. The soft shell crab just blended into the sandwich and there was little to no flavor overall. Really was disappointed in this one. The shrimpwich was much better but I don't think I'd order again. At this point, I really think Breadbelly does good with their pastries and drinks but maybe pass on the sandwiches which are the more expensive items anyways. After trying the kaya toast, the kaya bun stood no chance. Good on its own but if you know about the toast, the bun is not as good. For some reason, it felt short with the bread not being as soft and the top of the bun was aesthetically pleasing but it kept falling apart. With this second visit, i did discover how good the chicken cutlet was!! They use a five spice seasoning and the chicken is so moist and soft with the batter so thin and crispy. We only ordered 2 at first but we went back to order another and another kaya toast! Both croissants were really good too and the hojicha chocolate tea croissant was everything i'd imagined it to be. I love chocolate and I love hojicha so the combo was honestly amazing. Such a cute cafe to grab breakfast or lunch at. It is a bit pricier but you are paying for quality and aesthetics in the city. read more

I saw the new chicken cutlet sandwich on Instagram and had to try it! The Taiwanese style chicken cutlet was fried to perfection. It was moist, crispy, and had that Taiwanese flavor. The pickled veggies gave it some nice acidity and spiciness. So delicious! Also got the hot beefwich again since it was so good last time. Any sandwich on their milk bread is amazing. read more

After hearing so many of my friends rave about Bread Belly I knew I had to come here and see what it's about. HO LY CRAP This place has THE best food and I understand why it was so crowded! So worth the wait. We came near the tail end of the day (~12 pm) and so a lot of stuff was gone already, including a lot of things I wanted to try. However, we did end up getting the Kaya Toast, the biscuit smash, and the veggie breakfast sandwich (forgot the name but it had ponzu and veggie tempura in it) and our minds were BLOWNNNNNN The sandwich was so refreshing and flavorful and every bite was so crisp and crunchy. The kaya toast was awesome (especially so because I had just come back from Singapore and this was BETTER THAN SINGAPORE KAYA TOAST). I didn't try the biscuit smash because it had meat in it but IT LOOKED DOPE TOO I will definitely be coming back as fast as I can and this time much earlier so I can try all of the other things that were sold out. Non-food things: Street Parking is pretty ample, seating is a bit tight (3 tables inside and a lot more seating outside) but you may be able to find a spot. We got our drinks pretty quickly and it took some time to get our food because it was so busy (and also the pork sausage in the biscuit smash took some time to make) but we didn't mind because it was really fun to just sit and people watch. When (not if) I come again, I'll probably order things online in advance and then find some place to sit when I get there. read more

Grabbed food to go and finished it a few hours later since my friend and I had other things planned in the city. So I didn't eat the pastries fresh, which was probably a mistake because I can easily imagine a fresh warm pastry of this sort tasting 2x better! I got the Pandan bun which was great, even when cold. I loved the top crust, it was basically a Pandan cookie melted on top of a milky bun and inside is a lovely creamy custard. This was sweet, but not too sweet. However, the kumquot almond croissant was way too sweet for me! I was surprised given that these desserts are Asian inspired (and the ultimate Asian compliment is "not too sweet"). Definitely be prepared to pair this one with a unsweetened tea or coffee. The place itself is very small, not much sitting or standing room. Street parking was ok on a weekend morning. read more

It's tough to stand out as a cafe in SF, but Breadbelly's food offerings set them apart. The coffee and matcha were fine. Karl's cappuccino tasted like the earl grey and espresso were competing rather than complementing each other. Despite a consistent line, service moves fairly quickly, though seating is very limited. My favorite was the plum twice-baked croissant (so good). I'd probably come back to try another pastry or sandwich. read more

Finally got to checked out Breadbelly. This place is hyped for a reason. A fun twist on classic breakfast items. Expect a line, especially on weekends, and limited seating (mostly outdoor). What I ordered: * Breakfast sandwich 5/5- YUM. Would comeback just for this. Very unique flavor! * Kaya toast 2/5- the item I was most excited for, was my least favorite. Not for me. * Kaya bun 4/5- I much preferred this to the toast! * Black sesame cappuccino 2/5- Too strong of a flavor for me. Great casual brunch spot if you're out in the Richmond District & want something different. I would come back for the breakfast sandwich and to try a few other items. read more

I came here for lunch on a Sunday. The wait was short but there's minimal tables inside so most customers sit outside. It's usually quite cold in the winter so just keep this in mind when you're here. It's a cute cafe! I tried the Watermelon Lychee Black Tea last time and I'd say it tasted a bit weird. You can tell they used some bottled watermelon juice, and the mix with lychee black tea just tasted very herbally which isn't my favorite. I tried the Breakfast Sandwich and Kaya Toast this time. The sandwich was pretty good, with the seasoned kale! It's very filling and they give u a lot. By the end of it, I definitely thought the meat was a tad bit salty and there was a lot of bread. The toast on the other hand was amazing and is a MUST get. It's hard to find kaya toast usually, but this made this perfectly. The hint of salt to balance the sweetness is a great idea and they give you a lot of jam as well. I would recommend this place to check out. I like how it's kind of asian fusion! read more

was a little disappointed in this place- the line plus all the accolades made me think it was going to be perfect, but I think there are far better asian-inspired bakeries out there that don't have insane lines or (slightly off-putting) service.

came on a saturday around 1pm to a long line, waited around 10 mins. lots of outdoor seating but was very packed, hard to find seats. orders were taken at the register and with a worker by the door. clemen was super kind and welcoming, they helped make such a good first impression of this spot! breakfast sandwich (8/10). the pandesal bun got me so excited, and was surprised it was so fluffy and soft! ham, cheese, and egg were standard, no comments. the kale was a fun choice but couldn't taste the sweet & sourness. got chili paste on the side (fearing it would be too spicy) but i think it would be better pre-added. it wasn't too spicy and added a contrast of sourness and spice to the sandwich. iced matcha cappuccino (6/10). very matcha-heavy (a tad too bitter for me) and super green, i'm glad they didn't skimp on matcha. not as sweet and creamy as i wanted; if it were i think it would balance the matcha more for me. i would definitely come back, the vibes are cute and service was great! i like how many sandwich options they had and am interested in trying the other ones. i also had a sip of my friend's hojicha creamsicle and think it's MUCH more up my alley with the cream top and touch of orange. read more

I had pretty high hopes for this bakery. I love a good pastry on a lazy weekend. I came a little too late to try the kaya toast after the kitchen closed, so keep that in mind. All of the pastries did look delicious in the case but had no prices. Thus I didn't realize just how expensive this place is. While the fig danish was really great, I simply couldn't rationalize the price. The 50-50 was also not enjoyable, but it might not have been in my taste palate. I do want to try the kaya toast, but wouldn't run here for their pastries due to their price otherwise. read more

My friend and I came here on a Thursday around noon to get their pastries. We got the Kaya Toast ($10) and the Kaya Bun ($7); both were kinda mid. The toast itself was well made especially with that toasted glazed crust but the jam itself could've been better; more pandan flavor please! The Kaya bun was super disappointing because halfway, the crust just fell off; I get they're trying to make it like a pineapple custard bun but this was structurally unwell. The bun itself was also dry and the custard was super uneven, literally all concentrated in one corner of the bun. The pastries could've been better if everything was warmed. They have a decent selection of other drinks and food options that sound interesting but I'd probably wouldn't go out of my way to go again. read more

line moved fast on a sunday morning. lots of outdoor seating with some indoors. friendly staff and ordered easily. ordered an iced matcha latte, iced 50/50, and kaya toast. drinks came out first. matcha was very green and perfectly balanced. one of the best matchas i have had in a long time. 50/50 was good as well but noted maybe espresso would be better because the ice melted quickly on this warm day making it a little watered down. kaya toast was delicious and worth the hype. total came out to around $27 which is pretty up there but i was satisfied with my items! would definitely come back to try other pastries. read more

Came here on a Wednesday morning at around 9am. The bakery was decently busy (given the time and day) but we got to order immediately. We ordered their Kaya Toast, Mango Passionfruit Monkey Bread, and Kaya Bun. The Kaya Toast took around 10 minutes to come out, but it came out super fresh and smelled so good! The Kaya Toast was SO DELICIOUS. It was warm and fluffy and had a strong coconut flavor. I'd say it's definitely worth the hype it has been put out to. The Mango Passionfruit Monkey Bread was pretty tart and very passionfruit-forward in terms of taste (couldn't really taste the mango) and had a nice bread texture. The Kaya Bun was a bit disappointing -- the bread itself was not great and the filling tasted like strange spoiled-coconut-milk that left a bad taste in the mouth. Not sure if the bun just wasn't fresh or if it was a bad day. The bakery itself is small with a few spots both inside and out. They also serve many breakfast sandwiches that I'd love to try the next time I come back. Overall, I'd say it's a cool bakery with unique asian flavors! I would definitely be recommending people to come to this spot to try out their Kaya Toast! read more

It'w been on my must try lists and I came here with high expectations based on the high number of positive reviews. I really like the ambience and the parklet. The saff were friendly as well. I ordered the kaya bun, breakfast sandwich and a cappuccino. The cap was smaller than expected and on the weak side, so I was a little disappointed. I got the last kaya bun, and it was okay; it might have been in my palate or some sensitivity that I wasn't aware of until eating the bun because something about it upset my stomach a bit. I enjoyed the sandwich - the kale gave it a nice crunch and the fermented pepper paste added nice flavor. As others have mentioned, it's on the pricier side for what you get. read more

Cute location with an outdoor parklet. I always have to get the Kaya bun here, the Kaya toast is also good, but I love the crackle top to the bun. Really enjoyed the monkey bread here. The savory items always feel like an adventure. Tried a bread with corn in the center it was a bit too creamy for my taste. Also had their gyeranbbang and I think it'd be better warm and I wish the egg inside was soft boiled so the yolk was a little jammy. Their breakfast sandwich is good but intense there's a lot of flavors going on. read more

I came back on a Wednesday for lunch since I was craving the Shrimpwich! This time around, I noticed they had a twist on the usual version. Order at the cashier, wait for your name to be called, and pick up your order and find a seat or take it to go. My drink came out first, and then my sandwich. There's outdoor seating in the parklet with a speaker playing music. It was windy so I had to keep holding down everything to make sure nothing blew away :/ My order: Honey Walnut Shrimpwich ($22.75):  +Fried shrimp patty was hot, crispy, and juicy. +Candied walnuts were glazed and crunchy. +Veggies (iceberg lettuce, red onion, and cilantro) were fresh and crunchy. -Compared to the one in the original Shrimpwich, it's stronger in ginger and scallions and feels denser. Maybe the mixture is worked more to include the seasonings? Personally, I thought the shrimp was overpowered by everything else. -I thought there was too much honey mayo, which made the sandwich too sweet. +Compostable box and napkin  *An ode to a typical dish featured in Chinese banquets, but I personally prefer the OG version more. Karl's Cappuccino ($7.00): +Drinkable temperature: Hot, but doesn't burn your mouth/tongue +I don't know how they did it, but the bitterness from the espresso, floral notes from the Earl grey, and nuttiness from the oat milk were all balanced. Neither one overpowered the other! +Creamy and not too sweet -Small for the price Side notes: 1.) The cashier asked me if I wanted it for here or to go. I said for here but there didn't seem to be a difference as I received everything in to-go containers. 2.) Self-serve water cups available in the parklet 3.) 5% Staff Health & Wellbeing Fee added to all purchases.  *Verdict: 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 d/t service. The cashier was friendly and answered my questions about the menu, which changes often. It's pricey, but I'll be back again when I crave the Shrimpwich. read more

Have been wanting to try this place and it did not disappoint! Watermelon lychee tea: 9/10 delicious and so refreshing! Tasted more like watermelon, I couldn't really taste the lychee much. Still perfect for a hot summer day. Kaya toast: 9/10 bread was toasted and still fluffy. The kaya butter was satisfying and not overly sweet. The flaky salt was a great touch Shrimpwich: 8/10 first time having a shrimp patty and we both quite liked it! The shrimp was juicy and tender, not overly cooked. The sauce was delicious, acidic with some heat to it. Paired great with the veggies. I just wish there was more sauce or more lime as the patty and buns are more carb forward. Also note this is one of their most expensive items at ~$23 Savory cornbread: 5/10 this was our least favorite. Not necessarily bad but very mid. I wouldn't recommend getting it Very limited indoor seating with more tables outside. However it was very busy when we visited during the weekend so you may have to wait for one to open read more

I've heard a lot of good things about their kaya toast so I decided to come here around 12pm on a Saturday. It wasn't busy at all and there were only a couple of people ahead of me. I ordered the kaya toast and the strawberry lassi drink. It looked like there were only a couple small tables in the store so I grabbed one once I had ordered and waited for my friend. My drink came out almost immediately and the toast came out around 5 minutes after. The drink was super tasty and I loved that it wasn't too sweet.
