    Kaya toast
    Aye K.

    Really delicious baked goods! My favorite is the kaya toast, which has super soft milk bread with a coconut pandan jam that is not overly sweet. It has the perfect balance of sweetness with just a hint of savory. The coconut flavor is subtle. The kaya bun had a similar coconut pandan filling and was also delicious, though I still preferred the kaya toast. We also tried the croissant and gyeranbbang, both of which were good. I have also had their Mt. Tam Basque cheesecake before, which is incredibly rich and decadent. It is perfect for enjoying a few bites at a time, though it is a bit too heavy for me to finish in one sitting. The yuzu americano drink was not my favorite pairing. It tasted carbonated and sour, which I guess true to the description, but it just was not for me! Friendly service! Convenient to place online orders through their website. Street parking only.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we walked up to the bright turquoise Breadbelly building there was a line that had begun to form outside, but the crowd was lively and they had a speaker blasting songs from the Black Eyed Peas. It was a vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My energy was kept up with one of their delicious hot matcha cappuccinos! Now for the food...I ordered their regular breakfast sandwich, but there was nothing regular about it. I love that they used a pandesal (Filipino bread) for the sandwich bun! And the sauce!! The sauce gave it incredibly unique flavor that had me stuffing my face. I tried a bite of their sausage biscuit smash and was equally impressed! It was like a Sausage McMuffin, but 10x better. I would definitely come back and grab some of their sweet treats to go too! Also, would definitely recommend this spot to friends looking to grab some brunch.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's very limited seating (2-3 small tables) inside, but more table and bench seating outdoors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was quick and friendly, and it's easy to order ahead to pick up.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a ton of seating outside which was perfect to enjoy the nice weather.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Line moved quickly and service was fast too!

    This is a spot that lives up to the hype. If you order ahead you can skip the line and go straight to the pickup counter. It was easy, quick, and convenient. The kaya toast and blueberry croissant tart were our favorites, but everything we tried was delicious. I will be back!

    Disappointing experience. Very rude and impersonal cashier did not exactly make for a warm welcome. To find out that a 5% "staff health & wellbeing" fee is added on to every bill does not exactly soften that blow. Feels pretty lame for business owners to pass along their overhead costs to customers. On top of that, the prices are extremely high for what you get. A $3.50 banana "cake" is literally one bite (see photo). The gyeranbbang was tasty but again small for the price ($7.50). [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is very limited indoor seating and no WiFi.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The water cups were dirty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The one staff member cleaning the outdoor tables was nice, probably the only thing saving this review from a one-star.

    We came here as a recommendation from a coworker. We came on a Sunday afternoon, and it was very busy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have indoor and outdoor seatings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The wait wasn't too long before we ordered the Kaya toast and Kaya bun. The Kaya toast was so delicious. The toast had a very soft texture like a croissant and the Kaya pandan cream complements it so well. This was devoured very quickly. The Kaya bun was just okay in our opinion. We will definitely be back for the Kaya toast and to try their other menu items. I saw a lot of people with the breakfast sandwich and matcha.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The deco was very simple and nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had a great outdoor seating area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is a must visit.

    Hadn't been here in years but glad to see Breadbelly thriving! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was packed on a Sunday afternoon, lots of folks out in the parklet and inside as well in the limited seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    Kaya Toast, Breakfast Sandwich
    Bryce T.

    Breadbelly attracts a crowd, particularly on weekends, where the lengthy line out the door cannot easily be ignored. Most people are here for the viral kaya toast, which is as delicious as they say--a sweet coconut-and-pandan spread sprinkled with just a bit of salt to enhance the flavor. Their other food items can be mixed; I felt the breakfast sandwich was tasty but lacking in substance. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is not much in the way of seating indoors, but the patio out front is pleasant on a nice day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Breakfast Sandwich
    Nihar P.

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    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.

I arrived at the bakery before it opened on a weekend morning, and there were already a couple of brave souls in line. I waited only about 25 minutes for the bakery to open, and once doors officially opened to customers, I was in and out in no time with my fresh pastries in hand. I enjoyed my almond croissant as soon as I got back home, and now I fully understand why Arsicault is at the top of everyone's SF bakery list. The almond croissant was still warm, the inside struck the perfect balance between fluffy and gooey (from the almond paste), and the exterior was nicely crisped. The almond filling is super rich and decadent yet not overly sweet. I also noticed - and appreciate - how Arsicault's almond croissant doesn't include toasted almonds on top, since these can often get over-baked and taste bitter. I definitely agree this is one of the best pastries in SF now.

    It's been a little over a year since my first time trying B&C, and things have definitely changed…read moresince then--in a good way! I definitely feel like the team implementing the 7:45AM start time to line up has helped a lot. Not only is it better for the neighbors, but it also makes the whole experience feel a lot less chaotic compared to showing up super early and scrambling to get in line. Everything feels much calmer and organized now. As for the pastries: To be honest, it really depends on what you like. I'm one that gravitates towards pretty much anything with meat and chocolate. Because of that, most of their savory/meaty and creamy pastries are always a must for me. They're super flaky, flavorful and decadent. You can really tell how much time and effort they put into making everything as high quality as possible, especially since you can see them making everything from the window while waiting in line. All in all, I think there's been a lot of improvement over the past year with some trial and error. Their pastries have always been delicious and I personally think it's worth the wait. I recommend getting to the area closer to 7:45AM so you have a better chance of being towards the front of the line. If not, it's still better to come before opening, I just wouldn't recommend getting there right before they open. By then it's not guaranteed that you'll get everything you want since they do run out depending on how many people are there.

I really wish they had a website where you can see the establishments where they sell the pastries.

My husband got in line while I waited outside. It's on the first floor of the Japan Center Malls and easy to find in the corner. While the line was long it moved quickly and we ended up ordering two drinks and a few pastries. We had the drinks right away and I enjoyed their honeycomb toffee latte ($8.25) while my husband ordered a flavored lemonade. The Honeycomb latte wasn't overly sweet and the honeycomb on top was a nice treat. The honeycomb itself was sweet and crunchy and you can either pick it out and eat it or stir it into your drink and let it melt. The lemonade my husband ordered was on the sweeter side, but was super refreshing for summer. If you like sweet you'll like this- if you prefer less sweet or tart it may not be for you. We also brought home a few of their pastries. All of them were fresh and well made. The basque cheesecake was creamy and satisfying without being overly sweet. The chocolate chip cookie had dark chocolate and was really rich and satisfying. The last pastry I forget the name of but it was like a cinnamon roll but with an orange glaze and some cocoa powder, this one was also delicious and not overly sweet.
