Breadbelly is one of my favorite bakeries. They offer quality pastries and serve some delicious breakfast sandwiches. I came with a friend and he ordered several items for us to share. The biscuit smash was to die for. I wish I had ordered my own. The biscuit was perfectly baked and had the most delicious, buttery flavor to it. For desserts, the standouts were the kaya bun and the blueberry guava bostock. The kaya bun had a generous portion of the pandan and coconut custard filling and it was toasted on top with a matcha-almond crust. The blueberry guava bostock was moist and full of guava and blueberry flavors. Both desserts were rich, yet not overly sweet. Next time, I will be treating myself to more of their sweet and savory items. While the bakery itself can get quite crowded, they have a generous patio area with ample seating for folks to enjoy their treats.

Pastry  Not much left around Saturday 10:45am
Christina L.

Get there early, a lot of items are sold out by 10:45AM. You are able to order through TOAST if you do not want to wait in line! The pickup area is a bit chaotic. Not much space to wait, so the organization can be a bit better. Delicious Kaya toast, cannot get it frequently since it is $10. Kaya is coconut jam, sweet yes, but the salt flakes help. I hope to try the Kaya toast

Kaya Bun and Guava Plum Bostock
Anthony T.

Definitely worth the hype coming here. We enjoyed the different flavors the shop offered. Lots of different items to choose from, so it could be a little bit overwhelming from the line that builds up behind you. The staff are very friendly and patient offering good recommendations if you have a hard time finding something you like. The shop has limited seating inside, but rotates through their customers fairly quick. However, they do have plenty of seating outside to enjoy the nice weather with a cup of joe and brunch. Pet friendly!

Kaya toast
Amber G.

We ordered ahead of time online for pick up for their breakfast sandwiches, and ended up also waiting in line to order the Kaya toast since we managed to get some of the outdoor seating. Ordering ahead is a good way to avoid the line though. The breakfast sandwich is good, has a smoky flavor from the deli meat. The stand out though was the Kaya toast, sweet but so delicious, we split it as a group and loved it. The breakfast sandwich was good but I'd skip it next time to try other items. Looking forward to trying other things on the menu!

Coffee crisp with Mt. Tam basque cheesecake
Judy L.

Not sure why this is my first time trying Breadbelly but better late than never! I tried the Mt. Tam basque cheesecake and the Kava Bread. The cheesecake comes with these coffee crisps and WHAT A COMBINATION! The cheesecake was not too cheesy, had great flavor and the texture was a perfect mixture of soft and dense. The coffee crisp was both slightly bitter and sweet at the same time and was the perfect complement to the cheesecake! The Kava Bun was like your traditional pineapple bun except with pandan! The bun was topped with tiny sugar crystals which added a nice crunch! I will definitely be back to try other menu items including their drinks! Staff members were nice, service was quick and Breadbelly had a decent number of outdoor seating with some on the inside as well. Such a cute spot!

Sesame latte
Mari C.

I really liked the outdoor seating. It's a lovely spot to enjoy a sunny day. That said, weekends are a different story. It gets very busy, and I'm not a fan of waiting in long lines or struggling to find a seat. For me, that takes away from the experience. So far, I've only tried two items. The pastry was nice, but the sesame coffee just didn't taste good. I actually love sesame, so that was disappointing. For now, I'm not particularly impressed, but I also don't feel like I've gotten a full sense of what the café has to offer yet. I'm planning to come back and try a few more items before making up my mind. So far, it's been about a 3.5 experience overall.

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.

Didnt go inside but theres ample seating just outside their shop. Ordered a chicken sando and kaya toast, chicken sando was great and had good crisp and flavour, kaya toast was surprisingly thick and I wish it had more structure. Flavour was good though!

Breakfast sandwich
Claudia B.

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. 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.

Kaya toast
Jackie W.

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.

Sara H.

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!

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.

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.

Having heard nothing but rave reviews for AB, I finally tried it for myself and now understand why…read morethere's always line. Due to scheduling, I wasn't able to arrive until an hour before closing on a Friday which meant many of the items were sold out. When I arrived, there was a line so I had my buddy drop me off while he found parking. In retrospect, I should have had him drive around the block a few times as the line moved fast and there wasn't much to choose from. Since we both didn't know how quick the transaction would be, he figured out the metered parking, which was a feat in and of itself, and when he was walking over to the bakery, I was done with pastries in hand. Only one customer is allowed in the narrow shop at a time while the other customers queue up waiting to be signaled to step forward. As for seating, there is none so no one hangs around. Of the croissants remaining, I ordered all of them: Chocolate Almond Croissant - full of almond paste and chocolate, you could share this one, but why? This was my favorite. Almond Croissant - very good Kouign-amann - good sized While you can't enjoy the warm croissants with coffee at the shop, my buddy and I tucked in as soon as we got into the car. Good thing we carry a vacuum to clean up all the crumbs.

I hadn't had a traditional one yet this year, so that was a plus for me. Normally I'm not crazy about the nut moon cakes, but this one was terrific! It was the best moon cake I've had in a while - regular lotus seed with yolk and nuts. The lady at the bakery reminded me of an "auntie" and she was super friendly! Even though today was moon cake, I took a chance and asked if she had any wife cake (Low Po Behng). Unfortunately she didn't, but we had a nice little conversation in Cantonese and it brought me back to childhood and Chinatown in L.A. back in the day. Some people might not like that it's closed (I think that's when she runs out or isn't baking that day) but that's just how it goes. It's nothing personal if someone drives a long way and it's closed. It sounds like sometimes the lines can be long (There was no line for us today - score!) but it's everyone's choice if they're willing to wait or not. It's a little place and you order through the door. To me, that just adds to the quirky adventure of it all. Next time I hope she has Low Po Behng!

Whatever the lady makes for the day, that's the item to get and it can run out soon - then they close shop. Be prepared to pay with cash. There is a Chase and Citibank across the street. If you have a chance to meet "auntie", consider yourself special. Enjoyed our time with a little chit chat - since we were fortunate that it wasn't busy yet. I know some may be upset that it wasn't opened when they showed up - but that's kind of what makes it special - when you do get there in the right day and time. So be warned about the randomness of it all and consider yourself lucky if get a treat.
