I ate at this space once before but pre-pandemic when it was called In Situ. What a far cry this restaurant is from its previous dining experience. Jane On Third is multitudes more casual than the previous restaurant in that it is counter service and not wait service. I happen to like the casual feel because it fits well with the free-flowing nature of a museum. Also I really do enjoy their baked goods and I don't have to travel all the way by Japantown to get them. There were so many pastries to choose from and I'm speaking for someone who visited 5p on a Thursday evening. This time around, I opted for one of their sandwiches and no pastry. The tuna melt on whole grain. The crispiness of the toasted bread with the melted cheese and tuna was a decent meal. And yes with the Not bad for $15. I think the other reason I like this restaurant is the affordability. In Situ was pricier and with much smaller portions that it didn't guarantee you'd be full by the end of it. As for ambiance, I expected nothing less for the interior design. It is open, airy and full of light-- a modern and minimalistic environment sure to please the eye. I will be back! read more

I ordered an iced balance tea. I was picturing a strong steeped, chilled tea poured over ice. I was served a kettle of hot tea with a cup of ice. I am drinking a lukewarm cup of disappointment. It states on the menu most drinks can be iced. I asked for an iced tea, the cashier made a face - I asked if this one was able to be iced. She said yes - hot tea, but iced. I'm sure the rest of their menu is wonderful, the ambiance is decent, but I would have appreciated a little more communication about how sad my drink would be. read more

Very relaxing vibe with tasty food and drinks. We got: * Green juice -- 4/5 * Matcha latte -- 4.5/5 * Egg white dish -- 4/5 * Smoked salmon toast -- 4/5 Everything tasted fresh and well made, and the matcha latte was definitely the standout for us. Great spot to relax and enjoy a light meal or coffee break. read more

Happy that this was adjacent to our hotel and quite the busy spot for a Saturday morning. The dripped Coffee was delicious, they have quite the variety and make their own chai, enjoy it hot, cold or dirty. :) Food is fairly priced and certainly cheaper than hotel rates. Good hours and certainly well placed next to the SFMOMA. Inside was clean and cleaned up quickly to welcome guests. It can be good for groups if you arrive together. Seating for 1-2, 3-4, and larger tables. We would definitely visit again. read more

the newest and most spacious Jane location in sf! it's located in sfmoma and has tons of seating as well as free wifi. I tried their special iced strawberry matcha ($8) and was disappointed as the matcha was weak and the strawberry puree was so tangy and not sweet. overall it was very milky. I usually love their lattes so I'll give this the benefit of doubt but they should stick to coffee :") read more

Brunchfast served all day long everyday for the win! Located inside the SFMoma this was a great place to have a meal after we finished checking out the KAWS exhibit. * My bf got the Epic Combo consisting of two eggs (scrambled), one slice french toast, sausage or bacon (sausage) and potatoes for $18. * I got the Spicy Baked Eggs with two eggs, spicy tomato and black bean stew, cheddar cheese, cilantro and toast for $16. * We also got coffee cake, KAWS ginger cookie, coffee and an orange San Pellegrino. They had some cute Jane the Bakery stickers that were free. No line when we went to place our order, given a number for our table and the food and drinks came out fast. The spicy baked eggs is a favorite of mine when I come to Jane. We were pleasantly surprised when my bfs dish came out because the French toast looked AMAZING and was so delicious! read more

Jane on Third is located on the first floor of SFMOMA, no museum ticket required, no reservations, walk-ins only. Due to the proximity to the Moscone Center, this Jane (there are multiple in the Bay Area) can get crowded with convention and conference participants. Seating options are generous, including two dining areas and a bar overlooking the kitchen. Baked goods are a delight, including a variety of cookies large enough to share. My favorite salads are the Niçoise and the roasted salmon. Salad serving sizes vary based on the preparer; generally, they are large enough to take some home. A luncheon with Jane is a great escape from the office, a mini vacay if you will, with lots of good (sometimes international) people watching available, given the often-diverse conventioneers. Browse the Museum Store on your way out for a few more minutes of distraction before heading back to complete the afternoon. read more

This is a beautiful, clean and spacious cafe built into MoMa. There's plenty of seating and they have a vast menu of drinks, full lunch options, and light bites and pastries. The service is pretty fast and they constantly made sure that every table was cleared and cleaned for new patrons. I stayed to have my delicious salmon bowl and iced matcha latte and work on my laptop for a little bit. It's a treat to find a cafe where you can work, has clean restrooms, and has a great food menu. Jane On Third checks all these boxes. read more

Wonderful service and space. Shoutout to manager Chris! I hosted a large group here last-minute and ran up a big tab during Super Bowl week, and they handled it with ease and grace. Great location in the MoMa, I feel like I remember going to the restaurant here when I was a kid. It's light and airy, easily accessible by bike or transit. Baked goods were delicious! They had I heart SF and football cookies for the Super Bowl. Matcha and lattes were delicious and creamy. Good quality. A friend liked their sandwich. Lots of seating in the back too.

This cafe is located inside the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. I can't believe I didn't notice that this was here during our last visit to MOMA. We were here to check out the KAWS family exhibit. We haven't ate all morning so we decided to check out Jane. You have to enter through the MOMA main entrance and go towards your right. There aren't any menus on the wall, but they did place the menu on a table right before you stand in line. The prices were reasonable. There is plenty of seating and you just seat yourself before (if you're with another person) or after you order. There were plenty of options on the menu. From avocado toasts, sandwiches, to all day breakfast. I ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito and a KAWS gingerbread cookie (super cute!!!) and my man ordered the breakfast plate with French toast and s'mores tart. My breakfast burrito tasted really good, except it fell apart after my first bite. I had to eat the rest with a fork lol. My man's let me have a bite of his French toast and it was AMAZING! The gingerbread cookie was definitely one of the best I've ever tried and we loved s'more's tart. You can't just have 1 bite. The service was great. Staff were friendly and we didn't wait long for our food. Highly recommended for anyone wishing to grab a bite to eat. You don't need museum tickets to eat here either. read more

I can see most everyone else liked Jane on Third but I tho k I made a bad choice for lunch today. I love the Vietnamese sandwiches banh mi do I ordered that and I was very disappointed. I assumed incorrectly it would be on a soft roll but it was on a very hard baguette. It was almost 100% made if big chi had of chicken that kept falling out of the bun, almost no daikon of carrot which is my favorite part. It was awful. My husband fared better with a salmon salad bowl. It was quite good and he shared with me. We had to wait a long time for the food. People are saying the service was good which I don't really understand. We waited in a pretty line to order. We got water ourselves. Food was dropped off after a long wait and tables were cleaned very quickly. There wasn't really any service. I will just get a pastry if I go back. read more

Finally, a new cafe in Soma that is open on the weekends... and it's Jane nonetheless! I have always been a fan of Jane's other locations for breakfast/pastries, so I was thrilled to see this new location on Third attached to the MOMA. The interior: modern/sleek, casual, and PLENTY of seating. Not loud, great for getting work done or catching up with friends. The service: quick and efficient. You order at the counter, they hand you a table number stand, you seat yourself at a table, and they bring the food out to you. The food: equally as good as the other Jane locations and reasonably priced. I ordered the Egg White Panini (dine in) and a Matcha Latte (to go). The Egg White Panini always hits the spot when I want something clean and filling. Jane's freshly baked sourdough bread is also incredible. For the Matcha Latte, the alternative milk options are the same as their other locations, oat or almond. Needless to say, I will be a regular here! read more

Good: - Super cute homey feel here - The Buddha bowl + chicken was great - the sauces were healthy and variety of textures was heavenly. Super good portion size too, couldn't finish since it came with so much - The place is beautiful especially on a sunny day - I loved seeing the people coming in and out Bad: - Hard to find a table during peak hour, just know that it gets quite busy here. - More on the expensive side if you add protein like me and got chicken on your Buddha bowl Overall the food here was very healthy and I really liked the portion sizes. read more

Jane on 3rd offers possibly the lowest price for a light meal during San Francisco Restaurant Week. For $15 you get a big bowl of kale salad, a scoop of hummus and an 8oz dragonfruit smoothie, all very healthy. It is counter service but they bring your dish to you with a smile. The restaurant inside SFMOMA is modern, sleek and airy; it's a quiet space perfect for unwinding and relaxed conversation. read more

I frequented Jane on Fillmore when I used to work in SF, so I was happy to see they were the dedicated cafe for the SF MOMA. I got the classic chive and cheddar biscuit, and the cafe worker was super mindful of my nut and seed sensitivities, even pulling out a list to review which of their offerings had nuts or seeds. He brought out a warmed biscuit to enjoy in the cafe, which is low lit, clean, with lots of tables to choose from. I really like this location; my only gripe is that they don't accept SF MOMA membership discounts even though they are in the same building. read more

I'm so happy Jane opened in the MoMa because it's a great addition to that space. There's a lot of natural light and seating inside. Sourdough loaf - the crust is a little bit tough but the inside was very soft and fluffy. It was on the more mild side of sourness. Oh Captain cookie - a solid sugar cookie. It's definitely more soft and chewy than crispy but I prefer my cookies on the chewier side. read more

Could use help: the restaurant is woefully understaffed, in spite of counter ordering. They struggle with keeping up with orders and keeping tables cleared.

Another Jane location just opened in SFMOMA near the museum! This one is aptly titled Jane on Third and is located near the main entrance of MOMA and open to the public. I came by just to grab some pastries and ended up walking away with a black sesame chocolate twist, pizza croissant, chocolate chip cookie and while I wasn't planning on getting bread, I got a sourdough loaf to go. Everything was delicious but I loved the black sesame chocolate twist which was super decadent and the perfect sweet treat. The sourdough was great as well with a nice tangy flavor, crusty exterior and soft pillowly bread inside. So happy Jane opened a locationin SoMA. I can definitely see myself stopping here (too often) to grab a pastry or sweet treat! read more

Congratulations Jane on Third for being the ONLY place (we found) in SF that can make a proper POT of tea to British standard! I was SO excited to get a pot made of actual pot and a cup made of actual pot plus actual boiling water had been poured onto the tea! (Note to other cafés - warm water in a take away cup plus a sealed tea bag handed to the customer is no way to make a brew. You need to get the water on a rolling boil and pour direct onto the tea bag/leaves) Plus my super, super healthy salad. Was a fantastic experience for a British person missing tea!

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.

Kaya Pandan Toast is my second favorite. I'm a fan of the bread and how the ice cream mixes with it. Mango Tango is pretty good. Good mango flavor, a good mango bingsoo. The Black Thai tea crepe has a really good tea flavor. The Thai Tea flavor comes out really well. The Japanese Crepe with condensed milk and Oreo was alright. Definitely a lot more interesting and better desserts. They were sold out of the Hokkaido crepe cake another time. 6:45 PM on a Sunday. Never had that happen before. Got the Thai crepe cake instead, which was the only cake not sold out. I like the Hokkaido more. Overall, the dessert is not too sweet! Service is solid. Nothing too crazy or attentive, just average. When it's crowded, the food does take a bit to come. Can get crowded but overall a cute location to eat in. Food is definitely very shareable and I'd recommend sharing with a few people.

Dandelion Chocolate

My wife and I stopped by Dandelion Chocolate to pick up an afternoon treat and we shared a…read morechocolate chip cookie and a chocolate flavored canelé. The treats were tasty, but on the pricier side. I believe the pricing reflects the quality of the chocolate used in the products, so to me, the pricing is justified. The outer shell of the canelé had a nice crunch, but the inside actually reminded me of a chocolate brownie, and was less custardy than your typical canelé. Despite not being super traditional, I still really enjoyed the treat. With the chocolate chip cookie, I loved the giant chunks of semi-sweet dark chocolate embedded within it. I appreciate that the cookie itself wasn't overly sweet. With most cookies, I usually can only tolerate having a few bites, or need to have a coffee in hand to enjoy it, but I didn't feel like that was the case here: both treats were delicious. Overall, I would definitely stop by Dandelion Chocolate again if I'm looking for a well-crafted, sweet treat.

I ended up getting the matcha and jasmine milk tea, both of which I LOVED!! My friend got an interesting combo... PB oreo and thai tea LOL he also ended up liking his a lot. There's parking in neighborhoods! The inside of the shop was really cute and there's quite a few seats inside! :D I will definitely be back. I also heard they have rotating flavors!

Thankfully the line moved fairly fast, and when I got close to the front, I saw that they allow three samples per person to keep customers moving. The store is larger than it looks with some seating along the sides and back. I opted a small cup of the lychee black tea and auntie Kendra's garden. The lychee black tea was INCREDIBLE, strong, strong tea and fruit flavor, perfectly creamy, and not too sweet. The more memorable of the two, however, was definitely Auntie Kendra. It was a vanilla base with salty plum juice, passion fruit, and preserved lemon peel. The delicate vanilla, the lemon aroma without the sour tang, the floral, exotic passion fruit, and the unexpected punch of salt and earthiness from the plum juice, this is a WHOPPER of a flavor. Every bite allowed me a new appreciation of the layers of flavors in this scoop. While a bit pricy, Garden creamery is on par with the other local ice cream spots in SF and well, the flavors and my enjoyment of them speak for themselves. I will definitely be making more trips out here to try their other flavors!

You know, mainly fun things like beverages, snacks, or fruits, when I am delivering documents or my bank deposits. Said friend recently reciprocated by handing me a bag (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=Rmk-7xJHWs7RKbGP2U1zdQ) with a few items to take home. Having a drink in hand already, I refrigerated one of the gifted items before putting the other two there too. Watching my sugar intake these days, I waited until the next morning to start on the strawberry matcha latte, medium ice, half sweet (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=0O5eaeZuKxCM2GU2ur3cEA); this is a take on a flavor combination that is a signature one for a local boba tea company. I enjoyed this as the tea flavor was more distinct and the sweetness was dialed down. I would get this again. The other gifted items were the Hokkaido cheese tart and fresh sweet potato cheese tart (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=aVbAWdTtlPx0iEdMyWkNFg). I reheated them in my toaster oven a few days later as snacks. The cheese one was okay and didn't really stand out but the sweet potato one shines if you're a big fan of sweet potato. By appearance, I thought it was taro or ube but was pleasantly surprised. Whenever I dine in J Town, I often walk by this store that across from the former Isobune sushi spot in the mall. Now I know what they have and I will try other menu items next time. Thank you for my generous and thoughtful friend for giving my this 1st experience.

Kiss of Matcha is a dessert café centered around matcha-based drinks and Japanese-inspired sweets…read more We walked into a cozy, compact space with a focus on matcha flavors, offering everything from soft serve and parfaits to lattes, hojicha drinks, and small desserts. The concept works well for anyone looking for a place that treats matcha as the main ingredient rather than just adding it as a trendy flavor, and the energy of the shop stays calm and inviting, making it a good spot for a focused dessert stop. The biggest highlight is the matcha soft serve, which has a stronger tea flavor compared to many sweeter matcha desserts. We ordered a cup and found the flavor leaning slightly earthy and bitter, giving it a more authentic matcha profile while still staying creamy and approachable. The Kiss of Matcha Parfait is another standout, combining different textures with matcha, toppings, and dessert elements that make it feel more complete than a simple scoop. The layers of the parfait were well composed, with the matcha soft serve, mochi, and crunchy elements coming together in a way that kept each bite interesting. The hojicha options are also worth trying if you prefer a roasted tea flavor that is smoother and less intense, and the hojicha soft serve offered a warm, toasted note that contrasted nicely with the brighter matcha. The menu has a nice mix of drinks and desserts, with items like croffles, mochi, and dango adding more variety beyond the usual matcha latte. The croffle is a good pairing with the drinks since the crisp texture works well with the richer flavors, and we found it held up well against the cream and toppings. There are also non-matcha options like vanilla soft serve, which makes it easier to visit with a group where everyone has different preferences, and the variety across the menu gives you room to explore beyond the matcha offerings. The space is smaller, so it feels more like a quick dessert stop rather than a place to spend hours. Seating is limited, but the cozy decoration and outdoor seating options make it a comfortable spot to enjoy your order when space is available. The indoor area is thoughtfully arranged, and the outdoor seating adds a nice option for warmer days. Service can vary depending on how busy it gets, but the overall experience is centered more around the quality of the desserts, and the staff are friendly and efficient when handling the flow of orders. Kiss of Matcha is a strong choice for matcha lovers looking for desserts with a deeper tea flavor. The combination of quality matcha, creative dessert options, and a cozy atmosphere makes it a spot worth returning to, especially if you enjoy trying different matcha creations. The balance of authentic flavors, thoughtful presentation, and a relaxed environment makes it a destination for a more intentional matcha experience.

It was so hard choosing a base flavor, but opted for the strawberry with passion fruit glaze and oh my god this was life changing. The texture of the ice itself was light, airy, and not too sweet, which is perfect for me. The passion fruit glaze added that depth of fruity flavor and honestly this large size was more than enough to share with 2 people. Parking: it's hard to find around the area, so good luck. The shop itself is small and you can't really eat inside but they have tables outside you can enjoy. I will be back for more and bring some friends to check it out!!

Juniper

Juniper is in my top 3 bakeries you must go to in San Francisco!…read more I have been here a handful of times already and can confidently say everything I have had here has been exceptional and delicious. The pastries are all flaky and crispy, and you can tell they were crafted by a true craftsman. I think what makes Juniper so special is the selection of unique flavors they have. My favorite being their award-winning Cubano croissant, their black sesame kouign amann, and their choux pastries. I do want to call out how much I appreciate the amount of savory pastries they have since I don't always want a sweet treat the moment I wake up. To note, Juniper is typically busy, but I have never waited in line for more than 10 minutes, even on weekends. They also have a lot of tables for seating, but because of the flow of people, it might be difficult to find a spot. Stop by here if you're around the area! They are also a sister shop of Saint Frank, so you can get some coffee while you're here as well.

Finally had a chance to give Juniper a try, and I arrived on a Saturday around 10am. Even though…read morethere was what looked to be a pretty long line out the door we were able to order and get our pastries, find a seat in the collection of somewhat crowded indoor tables and stools and enjoy a few pastries in less than an hour. The workers are quick and efficient and it's clear that despite having a robust menu and being quite busy they've got an excellent system going to make sure fresh pastries are coming out reasonably fast. The interior is more industrial and small and definitely more of a grab and go, or sit down for a quick few bites type of vibe. My friend and i got a few things to try, but the standouts were the mulberry danish, and the kimchi bacon Danish. All the pastries were crisp, with many buttery layers and were clearly well made but these two had the most flavor and stood out as offerings that are a bit more unique compared to other bakeries in the city. We also tried the black sesame kouign amann, which was more reminiscent of a morning bun type pastry, and the cubano and the ham and cheese croissants, which were good but just lacking a little in flavor. Overall, Juniper has excellent pastries, and I'll definitely be sure to grab a plain croissant next time to try it out as well - some pastries pack a bit more flavor than others but given how quickly the like moves I'll definitely be back again to try some of their othering offerings soon!

I got invited here to shoot some content for them, and I'm very glad for that opportunity…read more Content aside, I did genuinely enjoy their drinks. The strawberry matcha was my favorite. They used a strawberry cream top instead of a puree, which I actually enjoyed. It added a nice creaminess to the drink, and the matcha was very smooth and strong. It worked well together. I also tried their double hojicha, and while I enjoyed how nutty and strong the hojicha was, I did find it a little bit grainy. I wish it was a little smoother like the matcha was. I usually don't drink/like coffee, but the guava cold brew sounded so interesting I couldn't resist. The fruity jasmine tea somehow paired so well with the coffee and made it a nice refreshing drink. I was also lucky enough to try the matcha crepe cake, which I believe they get from Lady M. It had really nice layers and was light, but unfortunately it was a little too sweet for me. Overall a very solid matcha/coffee option in SF. They have a beautiful interior too, perfect for catching up with friends. Servers were sweet as well!
