The Salty Sombitch  Iced mocha
Namratha P.

Been seeing this place pop up as one of the best cafes in the area and really wanted to check it out for a while and finally did! It's a cute place that would be great for afternoon tea. I got the iced mocha and the salty sombitch. The coffee was decent but the sombitch may not have been my cup of tea. It was a bit dry and too sweet for my liking but I can see someone else loving it! My only thing about this place was that it was a bit expensive for what it is. The prices were a bit above average compared to other places with similar aesthetics.

Oat chai latte
Stephen H.

Super cute spot Nice presentation for oat chai latte Great spice level and first class foam Luv the little spice toppings. Definitely one of the best chai latte in awhile compared to other watery and dull ones from other shops. No vegan baked goods, so can't highly recommend for vegan consumption.

The chipper cookie
Renee L.

My friend and I stopped by for a quick sweet treat and we both ordered cookies. The staff member helping us was kinda and friendly. The cookies for us fell a bit short as none of them was overwhelming and the other was a bit underwhelming in flavors. I wish they added descriptions so we would've had a better idea of the flavors. Overall his location is adorable as it has a quaint and dainty feel to it with the flower decorations.

A San Francisco treasure and delight! Warm, cozy homey. Great pastries--lemon tarts, cheese tarts, drinks, cookies, kouign amanns, buns, breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and more. I loved their large, filling, cheesy breakfast burrito with their homemade brisket. Great, friendly, personable, helpful, knowledgeable service in a great space.

breakfast burrito w/ brisket
Kristina W.

We stopped by Flour & Branch for coffee and a brisket breakfast burrito. The brisket was so juicy and I especially loved the salsa! The owner (I think!) was super friendly and helped us choose when we couldn't decide--his rec was spot on. The ambiance is cute and relaxed, perfect for catching up with a friend or getting some work done. We didn't try the pastries this time, but the croissants and kouign amann looked incredible. Definitely coming back!

I stopped by with a friend and grabbed a stone fruit danish to share. The pastry was topped with nectarines, custard, and brown butter crumbles which was delicious! Loved the combination of the fruit and flaky, buttery puff pastry and it was the perfect indulgent mid morning treat.

Customer service is top notch, the staff really make you feel welcome and taken care of. The space is very cute and cozy too! At first, I was only going to take some baked goods for takeout, but I ended up ordering their brunch menu (Breakfast Burrito). So glad I did - their house made sausage is perfectly seasoned and not overly salted like many that I tasted out there. Will be back to try more goods :)

Perfect bakery and coffee shop. Got the chipper. Great atmosphere and nice employees. Cheers

$29.9 worth of pastries
Naomi S.

Prepare for sticker shock. I honestly felt sick paying so much for a croissant, but I was already there -- and curious what a $16 piece of babka could possibly taste like. (Spoiler: like a babka dipped in milk and reheated.) Here's what I tried: Jane Butter Croissant - $8.50 Absolutely delicious -- but it's Jane's, not theirs. Also unclear why it costs more than at Jane. Meshugana Babka - $16 Great name, beautiful presentation, but just okay on flavor. You're better off with the $5.99 Trader Joe's babka loaf: dip it in milk, fry it in a pan, add cream if you're feeling fancy -- more satisfying IMO. Pistachio Cookie - $6 A bit too sweet for my taste, but good overall. Cappuccino - $8 (didn't buy, just noting) Service: Slow and not particularly friendly. I was initially ignored, then told she couldn't hear me, and despite saying I was in a rush, everything took long. Ambiance: really cute! Bottom line: Good pastries... at twice the cost.

Twice baked pecan croissant
Ahmad W.

This place is truly one of the top-tier bakeries in the area, hands down. In my opinion, it deserves to be in the conversation with the best of the best. Their pecan twice-baked croissants are out of this world--crispy on the outside, perfectly flaky inside, and loaded with rich, buttery pecan filling that hits all the right notes. It's the kind of pastry you remember long after the last bite. The service is consistently warm and attentive, with staff who seem genuinely happy to be there and eager to make your visit special. And the ambience? Classic and charming, with a timeless feel that makes you want to slow down and savor your treat. Whether you're grabbing a quick pastry or settling in for a relaxing moment, this place always delivers.

Brookie and Americano
Julie V.

I wish I was a local so I could go here every day. Why this place? Because the Breakfast Sandy will absolutely change your mood. Well at least for me. The beautiful sandwich comes with not one but TWO poached eggs (cooked to perfection btw). Aka you get two sandwiches for the price of 1. We're talking sausage patties in it. A side salad. An amazing sauce to put in the sandy. I was depressed because the rain, but after one bite. Instant smile. Also, the service was really great. The cashier/server was very sarcastic/funny and he gave me and my friend a free "Brookie" which is a delicious peanut butter chocolate chip cookie and a sticky bun! As for ambiance, the cafe is just so cute. The aesthetic is giving cozy, homey, and there are little items you can buy (candles, etc.).

Cece Y.

What a cute place!!! I first visited years ago when at least 2/3 of the café/bakery was under heavy construction, so when I walked in recently, I was surprised and delighted by how much bigger it is now, plus how well decorated it is. It's now not only a bakery, but also a coffee shop and brunch cafe. On a Saturday afternoon, there were people here both in small groups and solo, enjoying a full brunch, treats, or just coffee. I really love what they've done with the space. It was dimly lit, which provided a nice ambiance for a Saturday afternoon. There was a wall full of beautiful and fun items that were decorative and available for purchase. (I didn't take a photo because there were people standing in front of it who seemed to want privacy.) The employee who assisted me with my order was friendly, too. I adore their chunky cookies. So far, I've tried The Salty Sombitch, which is my favorite. The PB&J cookie is also great. This time, I took my order to go, but next time I will stay a while to enjoy their space and try out more flavors. The signs outside advertising their "secret brunch society" really piqued my interest, so I googled it when I got home. It appears to be a prix fixe brunch that you have to reserve via email since they have limited seating. The menu sounds cute! Don't forget to sign up for their loyalty program (it's linked to your phone number), so that you can earn rewards.

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
Ekta K.

I went in Spring 2024 to Flour & Branch, and I STILL think about how good the pancakes and coffee are. Best pancakes in SF, hands down. I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes and the butter was made fresh in-house, and let me say - it is SO GOOD. Hands down, my number one recommendation in the city.

Although they don't serve variations of buttercups, A Buttercup is one of the few dessert houses…read moreoffering Taiwanese-style treats like Bingsoo, Milk Bread Toast, and other Asian fusion creations. I'm always hunting for spots like this because I have a weakness for those over-the-top, Instagram-worthy desserts that look like diabetes in a dish. Like most places in this genre, A Buttercup is small, modern, and minimalist with limited seating. If you plan to go, aim for off-hours unless you enjoy waiting in line for sugar. The decor is cute and trendy, perfect for photos if that's part of your dessert ritual. As they say, "you eat with your eyes first," and when it comes to presentation, this place definitely gets an A+. The desserts look stunning and set high expectations. Unfortunately, that's where things started to crumble. It's like going to see your favorite artist live. You've watched the videos, memorized the songs, and paid for the experience. But instead of the electric performance you imagined, you get someone lip-syncing and barely connecting with the crowd. That was this place in dessert form. We ordered the Mango Bingsoo on our first visit, and when it arrived, we were surprised by how small the portion was. The guy next to us even looked over and said, "Whatever that is, I'm getting that next time." He shouldn't have. The Bingsoo looked great but was bland, and the "snow" was more chunky ice than soft shave. The Thai Tea Roti was also not what I expected. It came with Thai tea ice cream and sauce alongside a roti that was fried to a crunch. Interesting idea, just not the best execution. The sauce and ice cream needed a stronger Thai tea flavor to balance the crispy roti, and the flavors never quite came together. Overall, A Buttercup nails the aesthetics but misses the flavor. If you're here for the photos, you'll be happy. If you're here for the taste, you'll leave with a full camera roll and an unsatisfied sweet tooth.

We got the pandan roti, which was fantastic! The roti itself was super flaky and crispy, and I…read moreloved the combo of the roti + spoonful of ice cream with a bit of the pandan drizzle.

The service was good, and I went at night when there wasn't a long line. There are a couple of tables outside to sit. However, it does feel a bit pricey and I hear the line is super long at times. And the matcha ice cream barely tasted like matcha. There isn't much decor to speak of, it's a store front only and no interior. And the sign for "reasons we don't give samples" is funny but feels excessive. I still thoroughly enjoyed it though and will likely come again.

It ended up being one of my favorite stops in the city, and I really look forward to coming back soon. It's an easy one to get to on a walk in the area. It feels like a cafe or coffee roaster, so modern and clean, but with a clear love of everything chocolate. I'm told on the weekends it gets super busy thanks to their menu of chocolate infused everything including coffees and teas. On the left to the inside is their full range of bars, which includes a placard with the location of the cacao and tasting notes. There are also free samples of everything, and the servers can help you with questions. They even have little tasting sheets for notes if you want to get serious and remember for future visits. They have a few tables and bar seating at the front, with more bar seating along the back right leading to the clean restrooms. Here you'll also find educational displays about chocolate and viewing windows to the roasting and processing rooms. Even though it was afternoon, it was so much fun to order things with caffeine just for the sheer joy of it. We had the chocolate milk, I had a chocolate infused black tea, we shared a special new bar, and were given their signature tiny cookies. Prices are reasonable for the quality, both the drinks and the bar. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, they clearly love the place as much as we do.

Heard about this place and I'm so glad it was open today! Usually there's only one item for sale…read moreon any given day, and the menu item for today was Moon Cake. 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!

Golden Gate Bakery Date:October 18, 2026…read more I love mooncakes, so when I spotted Golden Gate Bakery open while walking along Grant Street, I couldn't resist stopping by! The gate stays closed even when the bakery is open, so you'll know they're serving customers when you see people lining up and waiting for the staff to open the gate slightly to take orders. My first visit was on September 29, 2026. There were only three people ahead of us, and the bakery was selling just mooncakes. I bought one Lotus Paste Seed with One Egg mooncake for $12.50. My second visit was on October 18, 2026. There were over 20 people in line for mooncakes and custard tarts, but the line moved quickly. I bought two Lotus Paste Seed with One Egg mooncakes for $12.50 each. The mooncakes were delicious, with a tasty lotus seed paste filling and one egg. They were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I only eat mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I still look forward to them every year. I highly recommend Golden Gate Bakery's mooncakes!
