Was super excited to stop by here for a quick breakfast and fortunately was met with no line. We ordered the breakfast sandwich and the Kaya bun, both which were pretty good but slightly expensive. It was about $25 for two items but both were definitely a treat. The breakfast sandwich though packed with ham, eggs, and veggies, felt pretty clean for the most part. I shared this and it ended up being plenty with the bun. The bread was also super soft, and the red pepper jam paired really well. The Kaya bun was delicious, and it had a pandan coconut cream which was flavorful and not too sweet. The best part of the bun was the sugar cookie crust! It definitely felt like dessert for breakfast. Great breakfast options though slightly pricey. read more

I enjoyed stopping by Breadbelly. The bright blue exterior makes it stand out within the neighborhood. Inside is quite small and has maybe 4 small two seater tables. Outside has a lot more seating. Pastries on display all looked innovative and delicious. I was almost enticed to get the Japanese curry bun but knew I should try the items I've been wanting to for a while! The Kaya toast and shrimpwich. Kaya toast was really good- nice mix of the Kaya/pandan-like flavor, bread was soft but also slightly toasted at the edges, and there was definitely some salted butter at the bottom of the toast. Shrimpwich was also good, would rate it maybe a 4/5. The slaw was refreshing and contrasted well with the shrimp patty. Shrimp patty itself tasted a bit too seafood-y for my taste and was kinda soft? I also tried my friends Kaya bun and that was also really good! Its flavor is slightly different than Kaya toast...couldn't put my finger on it but overall really good too. Has lots of filling but it wasn't overly sweet :) read more

I wasn't sure if I was going to like the cappuccino, but I'm a sucker for anything pandan and black sesame. The black sesame was good, but I wish it was bigger than 8 oz. The kaya bun was better than expected because it had filling, which helped balance out the dry top. The top reminded me of a pineapple bun. I would definitely go back and try their other desserts and sandwiches. read more

Nice food! This is one of the best restaurant I always visited. Giving this a full star finally! They have great options and food was absolutely good and it taste so delicious as well. I like the Big Spoon and Fried Chicken Sandwich were so delicious and freshly cooked. Nice quality of food. Great variety of drinks and it taste really refreshing. The customer service was absolutely fantastic as well. read more

Ordered online - super easy/convenient! The Kaya toast was my favorite. Also had a the rosy twice baked croissant, passion fruit sticky pastry, both tasty. The twice baked one was a little sweet for my taste. The Karl cappuccino was dank and delicious, strong cardamom notes. read more

I came to bread belly last week to grab a pastry. The selection wasn't huge so I asked the guy at the counter what their current most popular pastry was. He recommended this savory pastry that tasted like mapo tofu. Unfortunately the pastry was ice cold. I wish he would've asked if I wanted it heated up prior to me leaving. Didn't leave me with a good feeling given the pastry was $9. I've been to bread belly a couple of times and would expect a higher level of attention to detail. Hope they can make up for it next time! read more

Damn this place is good. We went a little after opening on a Sunday morning and only had one person in front of us in line. Kaya toast (10/10): I didn't know toast could be this good. The bread is so light and buttery. The kaya jam is super flavorful. Will always be a repeat item for me. Kaya bun (9.5/10): Same delicious coconut-pandan flavor, but in a delicious cream form. If you're debating which kaya item to get, order both. The milk bread is nice and soft plus the topping is delish. Twice baked apricot croissant (6/10): This was kind of a flop for me. The filling and inside portion of the croissant was nicely baked and flavorful, but the exterior was too crunchy and hard. Choco-Soba-Ko Cookie (7.5/10): Tasted like a gourmet chocolate Rice Krispie. I'm not gluten free, but if I was I think this would be one of my go to items. Satisfying crunch and rich chocolate flavor. read more

Honestly not impressed at all. The pastries here are really overpriced for their level of quality. A default 15% tip at the register is nuts too at these prices (paid $30 after tax and before tip for three pastries). Kaya Toast - The coconut pandan spread was quite light and the toast was freshly warm. The toast is of the spongier variety, and it did seem slightly soggy inside (not sure why they would put a lid over it for an eating-in order). Pretty decent overall, but nothing special and I'd be willing to pay about $6 for this. 7/10 Kaya Bun - The quality of the bread on this is pretty mediocre; leans toward the more chewy and tough side (see photo). First bite was a miss. Second bite, I started warming up to it more. The filling and the crust mesh together well with the bread but would've been much better if the bread was softer and the crust was less dense. 6/10 Cherry Almond Cake - Just tasted like your average pastry. Again, the quality of the crumb was pretty disappointing - leans rougher in terms of texture whereas I'd prefer something smoother and more spongy. Tastes like there's some rum in there to give the cake more depth but made it too heavy. 5/10 read more

A really cute and cozy cafe in the Richmond area! You go inside the fairly small store to order and get your food then there's a nice seating area outside. I got the kaya toast, which was delicious and had a great ratio of bread to spread, but I did think it was a little expensive at $10 for a piece of milk bread with spread. I did love the presentation of the dish though and it was a large enough portion to share. Would also be curious to try their kaya bun and some of their savory pastries. We came at around 10:30 and there was a line out the door but it moved quite quickly. read more

This was my first time at bread belly and it was incredible. We ordered a bunch since we were visiting from out of town. We started with a breakfast and egg salad sandwich. Both were great but I especially loved the egg salad. The highlight for me was the almond, kumquat croissant. It was maybe the best croissant I've ever had. We also ordered a buckwheat sesame cookie for the drive home. It's a small space with outdoor dining. You order at the counter. There was a long line but it was quick. This place is so great. Everything was delicious. read more

One of the most expensive breakfast sandwiches (Biscuit Smash) we've had in San Francisco. Also, probably the best. The biscuit was soft, moist almost melty on the inside with and amazing delicate crunch on the outside. Excellent sausage patty and superior ingredients to round it all out. Can't do this every week but when we do, it's a special treat. read more

Kaya Toast: It's alright. The buttered and toasted milk bread is the predominant flavor and is delicious itself. The pandan coconut spread on top is more subtle. The flaky salt on top is nice. I think it's good but not $10 good. I wouldn't buy it again or make the trek out for it. Maybe I'll try some of their other pastries next time I'm in the area. read more

New favorite bakery in SF. I've been wanting to try the kaya toast here for years now, and I'm so glad I finally went today! It lives up to the hype; the bread is almost like sweet croissant toast, and the kaya jam topping is incredible. It has the perfect balance of sweet and salty; I would 100% get it again. We also got the gyeranbbang, which is a cornbread topped with cheese, and filled with an egg and scallions. I loved the spicy and savory flavor profile, and the cheese on top. The cornbread base was super moist. Would highly recommend this as well. I wish I could've tried everything in the display case; everything looked so good. Will definitely be back to try more! Service is really friendly. The food does take a few mins to come out if you asked for it to be warmed, and the kaya toast takes time to prepare. They have lots of outdoor seating in front and it wasn't too hard to find a table on a Sunday afternoon. read more

Karen run business. Absolutely unprofessional. Do not patronize. Extremely rude and unprofessional.

Finally made it out to Breadbelly after having it in my list for the longest time (first time I stumbled in years ago, it was only for a drink which hardly counts)! The line was pretty long when we got there on a late weekend morning but luckily we had put in an order online in advance. We ordered the kaya toast and the biscuit sandwich to share in their parklet (it's a pretty decently sized parklet, but we still had to wait for a spot to open up due to how popular it is). The biscuit sandwich was delicious! The biscuit itself had both a nice outer crunch as well as a nice soft interior and was not dry at all. The eggs were pillowy and the sausage was really flavorful. I do think it could've used a sauce to amp things up a bit - there is scallion chimichurri but I couldn't really taste it much, perhaps there just needed to be more? It was also a tad bit salty for my liking but otherwise a really satisfying breakfast sandwich! Sadly, we forgot to select to include utensils in our order so we didn't get to try the kaya toast until we got home but it was still really good! The kaya jam was so rich and went well with the fluffy milk bread. I do wish there was another textural element in there as it was altogether quite soft (though not sure if this is due to the travel time before eating). Similarly, while I liked that there was a savory element, this one was also a bit salty for me (though my partner did not think this at all). Overall, from our small sample size, a pretty solid place to grab a deliciously carb-y bite. While the prices are a bit steep, the quality of what we had does seem to match and I'm interested to see how their other items stack up! read more

My friends and I visited after hiking Land's end and I was starving. I got the shrimpwich and blueberry lassi and I have to say, the blueberry lassi might be my new favorite lassi. This drink was a surprising change to the traditional mango lassi. And pairing it with the shrimpwich was the ultimate feast after a hike. The shrimpwich was also an amazing sandwich. One thing to note tho is that it's a bit pricey. I ordered Kaya toast, an espresso drink, shrimpwich, blueberry lassi, and 2 pastries for a whopping cost of over $80. So given the price, I'd say it's a treat and not a place I would frequent. This place has outdoor seating and is dog friendly. During peak hours it may be hard not only to find street parking, but to find a table. read more

The first time I tried anything from Breadbelly was when they were a pop-up in the Sunset and now that they're a brick and mortar, I actually have not gone; I've walked past, but not actually gone in to purchase anything. Well, my very knowledgeable and generous friend, Lisa X, picked up a couple of amazing treats for me the other day (thank you, Lisa!). One was a bag of macadamia nuts coated with chocolate and something else; I couldn't tell exactly what it was, but after eating one, I *had* to have a few more!! They were delicious! Lisa also got me a chocolate croissant, saying it was her favorite when she gave it to me. I didn't eat it the day I received it, but I heated it up a bit the next morning and I could definitely agree that it was one of the best chocolate croissants I've ever had! It was so, so flaky. The crunch was unbelievable! It was like thin, thin sheets of glass that shattered when I bit into it, but the soft, fluffy inside with the dark chocolate melted in my mouth. Oh, my goodness!! What a wonderful treat! Now I'll have to make a trip to Breadbelly myself and try more of their items. Thank you, Lisa, for re-introducing Breadbelly to me! read more

Two words. Kaya bun. My close friend, who is a true SF native introduced me to this delicious pastry and I unapologetically crave it all the time. There was a period of time where we would go, get in line early, and buy boxes of these buns every single time we went to the city. We would go to a nice park and eat them in one sitting. Mind you, I live 'bout an hour south of sf. I hold these buns close to my heart as you can see.. The bun has a perfectly thick flaky crust that holds all of that decadent, sweet, and thick pandan cream. UGHHH I need it NOW! I have also tried the shrimp sando, which was very good. No complaints and tasted fresh. read more

Damn I really thought I'd reviewed Breadbelly years ago (or maybe subconsciously didn't to keep it a secret...). But seems like the secret's out and now the lines are massive! Been one of my favorite bakeries since they opened -- a true hidden gem on the less commercial blocks on Clement St. I first came here years ago after spending months on and off craving Kaya toast and looking on Yelp and Google for "Singaporean bakeries". Breadbelly popped up and it was love at first bite. The Kaya toast -- thick milk bread with a generous layer of kaya (coconut-pandan jam); the ube tart with salted egg yolk zest and meringue (divine); the Kaya bun is wonderfully fluffy, has a lovely crusting of Kaya? Matcha? (Unsure but it's delicious either way), and the custard filling is so silky and light. Their menu has certainly evolved and expanded over the years, but the quality of each individual pastry is still high. There is love and care and consistency in the deliciousness of all the foods offered here -- you really can't go wrong. Make no mistake though: it's expensive. My wallet weeps every time we visit, yet this is one of few places where you do feel like the quality of the goods match the cost of it. It's a splurge and a worthy one. read more

Came here on a late Friday afternoon to try the famous Kaya toast. There was a line when I arrived and most things were sold out, including the Kaya bun. I didn't understand the hype for a $10 piece of toast, but the taste was delightful. The kaya jam was super smooth, buttery, and just the right amount of sweetness. The bread was very soft and melted in your mouth. The cashier was friendly and explained all the items on the menu to me. It was a short wait for the toast. I can't justify always spending so much on a toast, but it was definitely well worth trying! Update 9/6 - went back to try a few more items. The seasonal Kouign amann was the best newest try! The twice backed stone fruit croissant was a bit of a miss as it was dry especially compared to other croissant places in the city. The Kaya toast is still my favorite. The Kaya bun was a bit disproportional with the filling as it was very stuffed on only one side. read more

Great staff, great drinks, good food Busy breakfast cafe with items inspired by Asian food! I came too late try some of their most popular items but ordered a blueberry lassi (8.5) and tomato toast (16.5) The lassi was delicious and something I would definitely order again. It was the right amount of sweet and tart. I waited a little too long to drink it so it was thinner than it originally came but still delicious. The tomato toast was objectively good, but I personally didn't like it because the base sauce includes a lot of cilantro (I think), which I don't like. The milk bread is soft and thick, the tomatoes are juicy, and the toppings of fried shallots and crispy peanuts are nice addition for taste and texture. There was the right amount of sauce and topping on the toast, the green sauce is just too strong for me. The staff is very friendly and helpful, even despite me coming moments before closing. They stayed busy past close time. There were many full tables as well after I left. There's plenty of outdoor seating and no waiting bench indoors. It was a nice day and not too crowded, so great ambience! I would definitely return! I want to try the Kaya cream puff read more

I was super excited to try breadbelly but in the end we only really enjoyed the Kaya Bun. It's an extremely cute cafe but we felt like the prices were too expensive for the amount and quality of the food. The breakfast sandwich $14.50 (fried egg, smoked ham, Gruyère, sour kale, fermented pepper paste, bun) had a small thin slice of ham we almost missed it because all we tasted was egg. The chicken karaage $15.25 came with about 8 pieces of bite sized chicken and a side of kewpie mayo. The egg coffee can only be made hot, not iced, and didn't quite impress us. The coffee flavor quickly overwhelmed the egg foam on top. The sesame cappuccino (iced) isn't filled to the top (most likely because it's a set measurement for hot, which is fine) but was a little disappointing to see. The Kaya bun though? Delicious! Cookie crumble top with a Kaya cream interior reminded me of my childhood and wasn't too sweet! Service was fast though and it has quite a few tables outside in the front patio area to sit in, but if I come back, it'll most likely only be for the Kaya bun. read more

Delicious. Creative. Perfection. We come here for our weekly shrimp paste sandwich and breakfast bacon and egg biscuit. The shrimp paste is literally bouncy, and has really delicious and mild flavor, perfectly fried. I don't even like bacon and egg stuff but I tried it when my husband first ordered it, and let me tell you, I dream about it sometimes, the bacon is perfectly soft and a little crispy, sweet and delicious, the egg is cooked in fat I think, the biscuit tastes super fresh and perfect amount of crispy outside and most inside, it's just so satisfying to have a really well made fat protein carb combo. For a while they also had the citrus lassie, arguably one of the best beverages I've ever had, perfect texture and flavor. We've also tried some of the pastries, they are good but not our favs. Come for the breakfast sandwiches! read more

Went on a Saturday morning and waited around 20 min. Lots of variety to choose from. My favorite was the biscuit smash-- definitely one of SF's best breakfast sandwiches. Biscuit was buttery and crispy and the patty was so juicy. Bursting with flavor, 10/10! Kaya bun's cream was light and not to sweet and the blueberry croissant tart was enjoyable as well. Would come again! read more

The cutest name with yummy pastries?! I'm lined up. Unfortunately, the one time I was finally able to give them a try, they only had one type of pastry available. SO SAD but there's always next time. I ordered the egg sando and an iced americano, as well as a caramelized toast (I'm 100% sure the name was different but I can't remember) to share. The egg sando had soft milk bread and creamy Japanese-style egg salad topped with lots of chives and bacon bits. My friend's shrimp sandwich was also delicious with a juicy shrimp patty and lots of flavor. The caramelized toast was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the best Asian compliment for anything - not so sweet! Seating is extremely limited with only 2-3 small tables and a small standing area. I really hope to be able to come by earlier next time so I can try their other pastries! read more

Breadbelly needs no introduction, there's a reason its incredibly popular, I've ordered at least half the menu over the past 6 months of living nearby and I have never once been disappointed.

Kaya toast tastes pretty good, but not the must-come-back-for-more type of thing. A bit on the sweeter side for me. Personally think it's overpriced, $10 for a slice of toast that came out to be $11 something post tax + 5% employee health and wellness fee + tip lmao. read more

Interesting spot that is worth going to. However the shrimp Sando was $25 out the door. It was very good. But about $10 too much imho. Should've ordered the chicken cutlet. Next time. Also. Most entertaining are the regulars, who seem over-the-top proud to be there, like they are in a special club. I overheard a gal with unfortunate bangs, like she cut them herself in the dark whilst channeling Bettie Page, loudly comment about how newbies don't know the protocol, how to properly queue up outside the building, and more , which I took as a cue to look clueless and ask where to put my dirty dishes (outside is the answer). Side note: The drinks looked great but it was past coffee time for me. read more

Giving this locally famous bakery a 4/5 for their creative, rotating selection of baked goods. Their kaya bun is lovely. However the shrimpwich should probably be reserved for someone with clogged sinuses! The amount of wasabi in the slaw was overwhelming and I was sadly unable to finish my (expensive) sandwich. TLDR: bakery items are great, avoid the shrimpwich unless you love wasabi read more

Got the kaya toast. Wait was short and they even had a restroom inside. The actual kaya toast was very heavy. It's on a thick bread and it is delicious, very filling.

I find this place charming. Food: -Gyeranbbang (Korean for egg bread): there was an egg on top of the bread mixed with an Asiago-type cheese. The bread was toasted on the outside and soft on the inside, and the egg/cheese was absolutely delicious. Savory delight. -Mapo tofu: I'm more used to the Korean-style of this Chinese dish, so it was a little heavy on the soy sauce and oil for my personal preference. However, if you like the Chinese version, you would probably love this. Such a great idea for a baked good!! Service: Nice and quick. We went on a Saturday morning, and there were a lot of people enjoying their baked goods at the tables outside in front of the bakery. No line, so we were in and out within a few minutes. Ambiance: It's a moderately sized bakery. The only places to sit are outside, but they do kindly let you use their restroom if you ask. read more

We discovered this place through Instagram Reels and decided to check it out. We ordered the Eag Coffee, Sparkling Yuzu Americano, Kaya Toast, and Shrimpwich. It was about $60 total. The Eag Coffee had a taste reminiscent of steamed egg, but it turned overly bitter and a bit unpleasantly eggy toward the end. The Sparkling Yuzu Americano had an odd flavor as well. While we didn't mind since we wanted to try something adventurous, the coffee was quite expensive, so we probably wouldn't order it again. On the other hand, the Kaya Toast was delightfully sweet and delicious, while the Shrimpwich was just average. The bread itself was really good, though. If we come back, we'll likely skip the coffee and stick to the Kaya Toast and plain bread. read more
