One of my favorite flavors from them is the mango sticky rice ice cream. It's incredibly refreshing, especially on those rare hot days in the city. The mango is fresh and tastes so good with the coconut ice cream. There's bits of rice that adds a nice texture. Service is always friendly and fast. Though, sometimes the line can get long. There's not many places to sit inside, but it's across from the park where there's benches to sit on. And there's some tables near Ritual. They have a rotation of flavors monthly so it's a place that you have to check out often. But they also have the classics like chocolate, which is also really good.

It was so good I wanted to try every flavor but I will wait to try the passionfruit flavor next. Their best sellers include cookies and cream, vanilla bean, salted caramel, passionfruit and black sesame. If you're a cheesecake lover, this is a must try'! 10/10 recommend.

Actually I was at the Ferry Building looking to get a slice of cheesecake from Miette, but they…read moredidn't have it, so I was happy to find Nash Bakes because I needed some cheesecakes. I got the Vanilla and the Cookies & Cream. They were good, but they are probably the smallest cheesecake slices I've ever gotten in my entire life. Do with this information what you will lol. I think the packaging is very smart and the flavors are good. However, the crust on the cookies & cream slice was very hard, and I was using a metal fork. The interaction with the staff was also kind of odd. I asked what's the difference between traditional and vanilla, and he said "the spelling?", which okay, haha, and then he said "it's just more vanilla-y". I might get another slice again if I'm in the area, have a strong craving for cheesecakes, and Miette still doesn't have cheesecakes but otherwise, probably won't make a special trip out for it.

Snoberg is a standard frozen yogurt spot to satisfy your craving…read more After finishing up dinner, there were limited dessert spots open on Saturday evening before a show. For something simple and quick, Snoberg was the perfect spot. As part of the Saluhall, you could also order food from other spots in the area and drop by for dessert. Looking back, Snoberg used to be strictly vegan options. However, the menu has changed to include a dairy option for the chocolate and vanilla using Straus milk. As expected, the quality was great with smooth creaminess. I was glad that the serving was pretty substantial and that we were able to add toppings at no extra cost because at $7, it was already not cheap! We also asked to sample the vegan options which were strawberry and pineapple. These are also good with the pineapple reminding me of Dole Whip! Overall, while it is a little pricey, it has a high quality product in a place with plenty of seating to enjoy!

It's a simple setup--usually just a few flavors to choose from, though with a lot of toppings available. Early on there were sometimes be long queue's but I think that's gotten better as the initial excitement of the foodhall wore off and they figured out the right staffing model. If you need to, there's plenty of seating around to enjoy your soft serve on-site but I'd recommend taking a stroll downtown if it's a sunny day. Get some people watching in and satisfy your sweet tooth in one go!

It started off with savory bites before moving into the main attractions. Our party absolutely loved the Mandarin and White Tea dish with seabuckthorn and tonka. The Pear Tatin Roulade and Souffle Bread Pudding were expertly crafted and technically impressive. The Chocolate dish at the end was the perfect bite to end the meal. And everything (besides the caviar) was vegan! I can't wait to see what else comes out of this innovative dessert studio. The space is small so you'll have to sign up in advance for the tasting, but it makes it intimate and homey. The service was impeccable, and we even got to meet the chef and talk about his inspiration. It makes a great date night!

Tried some of the cookies too, but they're not as wow worthy as the bomboloni. Nutella Bomboloni: This is such a pleasant indulgence for me. A very generous amount of Nutella fillings, like more than you'd spread on toast. Tastes excellent against the yeasty and sweet filled doughnut. I could eat this every day for breakfast, but thankfully they're only at the Ferry Building once a week. Raspberry Bomboloni: Another favorite. High quality raspberry jam stuffed inside that fluffy doughnut. No weird jelly-like gelatinous filling, more like they scooped it right out of the jam jar. Tastes tart and sweet and delicious. Pistachio Bomboloni: Kinda like custard with a subtle pistachio taste. Wish it was a bit stronger on the pistachio flavor. Custard Bomboloni: If you like creamy, this is for you. But personally, having eaten so many Boston Cream doughnuts over my life, I was missing the chocolate ganache contrast. Potato Chip Cookie: Like a regular chocolate chip cookie, but with a few potato chip pieces baked it. The extra crunch and saltiness is a nice addition. Though it's not revolutionary. Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie: Chocolate chip cookie with some peanut butter cup pieces and peanut butter baked into the cookie. A classic pairing.

I know their chocolate qualities are good and tasty but I'm not sure it justifies the steep price. They use beans from different places which is what creates the variation in taste. They don't add anything fancy to their chocolate bars - it's just two simple ingredients: cocoa and sugar. I probably won't snack on these chocolate on daily basis because my wallet would be sad. However, I don't mind shelling out once in a while for special occasional or using it as gifts. This location in the Ferry building also sells pastries and drinks. I tried the Mission hot chocolate and was mind blown. The hint of cinnamon, chile, and cayenne pepper made this version so unique and so addicting. I think if I had unlimited money I would drink this every 3 days especially on colder days.

Dandelion Chocolate in the Ferry Building is easily one of the best chocolate spots I've been to…read more They offer free samples of several high-quality dark chocolates, and I was surprised by how different each one tasted. Some were fruity, some more earthy or nutty, and others had a deeper, more intense chocolate flavor. The chocolate drinks are also excellent. They're rich and smooth without being overly sweet, so you actually taste the chocolate instead of just sugar. Everything feels very high quality, from the bars to the drinks. It's definitely not cheap, but it feels worth it if you really like chocolate. The samples also make it fun because you can actually compare the different chocolates before deciding what you want. Service is great and fast, while the ambiance is fun and exciting especially considering it's next to the piers. Between the quality of the chocolate, the distinct flavors, and the drinks, this was one of the highlights of the Ferry Building for me. Some of the best chocolate and chocolate drinks I've had anywhere.

I really like that you can choose exactly how many of each flavor you want in your box. I didn't realize that before, but it's a great option because you could literally get one of everything if you wanted to try them all. I chose orange, citron/lemon, caramel, earl grey, espresso, raspberry, and hazelnut. There was also a vegan raspberry option since the regular raspberry had sold out for the day, and honestly you couldn't tell the difference. It was delicious. I also tried the lemon in store, and the raspberry was my favorite. One small thing is that once they're bagged up, it can be a little hard to tell which flavor is which since they look pretty similar on the outside. Not a big deal, just something to keep in mind if you're trying to remember what's what. The owner mentioned he's had the shop for 30 years, which you can feel when you're in there. He took the time to neatly tie up the box and even gave me two complimentary pieces. The shop itself is tiny and charming with a good variety of flavors. A friend of mine has been coming here since childhood, and now I understand the hype. I'll definitely be back.

I got the mint, espresso, dark chocolate and coconut and all were super tasty. I want to go back! It's a very cute, homemade shop and I highly recommend checking it out!

This baker was at the first February 2021 Saturday Ferry Farmers market as announced in the weekly CUESA newsletter. Walking over halfway through my shopping mission, I waited as a customer finished his purchase in studying there menu and eventually buying a few items. With a friend being gluten sensitive, I noticed there were a few items that would fit her requirements and picked them up for her. As they put that together, I decided to try two menu items. I started with the With love from Berlin (almond bar) (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ytuJeNuqpY1aV-CsK1halA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) later that afternoon; it was delicious and, unlike many gluten free pastries, it was not dense nor dry. A few days later, I succumbed to temptation and tried the Almost famous (double chocolate cookie) (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Mb_Eo21HbnyuBvw2yr2_LA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q); a chocolate cookie laden with white chocolate chips, this was on the cakey side but still delicious especially as I paired with with a cup of tea. A telling compliment was that my friend called me later that Saturday and asked me about the price before telling me to make sure to stop there again next Saturday. I need to study their menu a little closer before that to see if there's anything else that piques my interest. Another nice perk was the jar on the far left end of the table (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=2wMfTp0zBOJ3CU7SvZI7vg&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). They offered doggie treats for our fur baby which she bagged just like she did my purchases. When I got home, I studied their Instagram profile as well as the displayed flyers at their table which gave me great insight on her mission and vision in creating her baked goods. Needless to say, see you later today!

A plethora of vegan treats that look almost too indulgent to be missing butter, eggs and milk!…read more Most are rich and tasty. Some are even better than non-vegan desserts! Bite Me Quickly: Quite a familiar treat; a coconut macaroon dipped in dark chocolate. Felt more airy than a typical macaroon, maybe because there was less sweet binding stuff. Classic Florentine: I love sweet crunchy Florentine cookies, but this was far from classic. Instead of being crispy all around, there was a moist cakey bit with strong orange flavors. under the crunchy almonds Really delicious, even better than the classic version! Cranberry Love: A cranberry, macadamia, white chocolate cookie. I'd never guess it was vegan. Quite tasty combo of flavors and textures. Orange & Chocolate: Shaped like a cupcake, but more like a dense olive oil cake with a really bitter (in a good way) dark chocolate ganache on top. Loved all the orange aromas in the cake too. Yummy Cheesey: Looked like it's going to be dry, but is quite moist and "buttery". Very rich. This Is Nuts: Not a fan at all! Wasn't sweet. Tasted kinda funky. Supposed to be like a garlic cheese roll, but vegan. Reminds me of a vegan Slim Jim. Not for me.
