POV- Purple Outside View

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"

iced 50/50, iced matcha, kaya toast
Serena P.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

stumbled apon this place while my fiance and i were heading to the beach and im so glad we did!! the biscuit smash is to die for, i basically ended up eating all of my mans', but he ended up loving the breakfast sandwich more anyway! wish we would have gotten the kaya toast, but we definitely plan to be back

Pastry case

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.

Kaya Toast & Breakfast Sandwich
Meeghan H.

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.

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.

We went at 9AM on a weekday and there was no line. The food items were overall really lovely and I definitely recommend the Kaya Toast and Strawberry Lassi. I felt that the miso chocolate entremet didn't have a particularly strong miso flavor which I was expecting. There is limited indoor seating, but a lovely outdoor garden/patio area.

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.

Excellent service! My only advice is to come and see for yourself. When we called to ask about a…read morewait, they mentioned there was not wait... part of the reason they do that is because they don't keep a list. You either have reservations or you're a walk in and you stand in line until a table is available for you. At first this was strange, but I think it makes for a better experience. The team was incredible, they were so kind on a day that can be stressful for a small restaurant. We had incredible food. I was so happy to get my Eggs Royale and my husband said the French toast was the best he's ever had. (Even comparing it to French toast in Paris) No notes. This will be our Mother's Day place going forward next time with reservations.

My partner and I decided to go to the city one weekend and decided we wanted brunch. After looking…read morethrough some place, we came across Sisterita and it looked very promising. It seems like this place is an asian fusion brunch place incorporating french dishes into thai/asian themed dishes which is up our alley. We made a reservation at 1:45 PM and we had to wait for about an extra 30 minutes before getting seated. Initially, I wanted to try their crab fried rice but unfortunately they were out of crab. We decided to get the Alcatraz Escape and the Brioche french toast which were recommended by the wait staff. The staff was generally friendly and accommodating but I can tell they were swamped and stressed out with all the people they were trying to serve. The food itself tasted decent, the Alcatraz Escape had a tasty flavor which incorporates tom yum paste (sweet, sour, tangy flavor) into their scramble with about 4 shrimps. The side of crispy chicken was good but nothing that stood out to us. The brioche was soft but there wasn't much flavoring besides the fruits and caramelized banana. It was served with evaporated milk which made the brioche soft but not adding much flavor to it. The price however was quite pricey. For two dishes as a side we paid around $78 with tax and tip.

I still love Brenda's!!!!!!!…read more I haven't been back in a few years, but I am happy to report: they are still just as great! It was my daughter's first time and she loved it just as much as I did. We came during restaurant week so we decided to get the Creole Sampler so she could try a bunch of different items. (Sampler included red beans and rice, collard greens, fried catfish, hush puppies, plain beignet and gumbo). We also ordered the beignet flight and shrimp and grits. Plenty of food for the 2 of us, plus we had left overs. I can't not order the shrimp and grits. It's just so damn good! It's so rich and flavorful! It came out SUPER hot. Grits and cheese still bubbling. My daughter and I were both surprised she liked the collard greens. She's usually not a fan. She also liked the red beans and rice and she doesn't usually like beans either. That just goes to show how amazing the food is here! We came in around 4something pm on a rainy Sunday. There weren't many people there, but by the time we left it was more than half full. Service was friendly, and there was a band playing, which was a nice touch.

I am speechless! I saw the rave reviews for Brenda's French Soul Food and had to try them out for…read moremyself. And, my goodness, I was not disappointed. Let me start with the star of the show - the Shrimp & Grits. The flavors blended so well I did a little dance in my seat. Creamy, savory and delicious! I will be dreaming about the Shrimp and Grits from now on. The Bananas Foster French Toast melted in my mouth. So yummy. I wasn't a fan of the Crawfish Beignets. It was something about the flavor of the red powder/ seasoning that left me underwhelmed. All in all, one of my favorite stops while I was in town.
