    POV- Purple Outside View
    Juan V.

    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"

    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.

    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.

    Breakfast Sandwich

    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.

    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.

    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

    Kaya butter toast

    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.

    Biscuit Smash
    Sharon B.

    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!

    shrimpwich x ham cheese croissant x kaya toast x crabwhich
    Michelle P.

    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.

    Kaya toast and breakfast sandwich
    Elly P.

    Food: - Ham and cheese croissant: my favorite of the pastries, it had a complementary mix of cheese and ham flavors, texture was light and crispy - Fortune danish: good mix of flavors - Kaya toast: Milk bread was delicious, kaya flavoring was surprisingly strong - Breakfast sandwich: alright Service/ Ambiance: - A couple seats inside, but the majority is outside - Service is slow and inefficient so be prepared to wait and keep an ear out for your order

    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.

    THE SPREAD
    Ruchi J.

    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.

    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.

    Ask the Community - Breadbelly

    Is there seating?

    Yes, a few indoors and in a parklet.

    Is it crowded on the weekend?

    Sometimes, yes. But you can order online.

    What GF options are there?

    They have some GF cookie options -- the buckwheat chocolate cookie is incredible

    Is the gelatin in the kaya bun pork?

    No is just like matcha jelly

    Why are they always closed (Saturday at noon)?

    10-2PM they are open at 12 Noon Saturdays

    What is the best time to go during the weekends before things start getting sold out?

    I would def say before 12:30! You want to miss the lunch time rush or post church rush! I went around 10ish and there were only a few people there :)

    Why is it called "not ube tart"?

    Ube is purple yam in Filipino. The 'not ube' tart is made from sweet potato which is not the same as a yam. While we're at it, taro is totally different from purple yam or sweet potato.

While I was visiting friends in the Inner Richmond, we were tempted by the aroma of butter and decided to brave the line to try one of these legendary pastries. While the line stretched halfway down the block, it moved quickly, and we only waited in line for about 15 minutes. The ordering process was efficient, and we were able to pick up our pastries in a couple of minutes once we were at the front of the line. The menu is short and simple, and I decided to try the almond croissant, one of the classics. I enjoyed my croissant when I got home, and immediately noticed how decadent and heavy the pastry was (I recommend splitting it). The outside was very toasted - almost bitter - and the inside of the pastry tasted slightly underbaked. On a more positive note, I appreciated how the almond filling tasted purely of freshly-ground almonds; simple and naturally sweet without the overpowering almond-extract flavor. While this first experience did not quite live up to my expectations, I would still come back to try the other pastries.

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.

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.
