The staff is down to earth, helpful, and speedy without rushing folks through the line. We went at 10am on a Saturday and waited for five minutes. The wait was worth it. Get a cinnamon roll! The cream cheese frosting is amazing. I got one to share and wish I got my own. I liked the spicy sausage croissant but not for the reason I thought I would. I though it would have more sausage and that the sausage would be more packed with flavor. It was flavorful but there were only a couple bits of sausage and it was mostly croissant. But the croissant WAS good: light, crispy and very flavorful. The chocolate chip toffee cookie would taste better slightly warmed up at home with a glass of milk. It's most chocolate with some gooey-ish toffee but not much. Wish they would add more toffee and maybe marshmallows. At the counter the staff gave away free cookies.

First time here per recommendation and they have this loyalty program called Blackbird that they encourage you to sign up for. So I did but what they don't tell you is that you need to save your credit card in the app in order for it to work. With so many data breaches, I don't do this for my own security. Having already sunk in the time and effort, I went ahead to save the payment so I can scan and move on. Unfortunately, it didn't scan at the puck and we couldn't figure out why. I thought this would be more like Five Stars or other app loyalty programs but it's definitely more entrenched and requires more of your data to they can track and sell. We spent over 15 minutes trying to figure this out and in the end, the manager was apologetic and gave us our order for free. We left a $20 tip but I still feel duped over their loyalty program. The cashier didn't know too much about it and couldn't help me navigate, and the manager couldn't figure out why we couldn't scan. I gave three stars instead of one because the attitudes of the employees were really good but I'm still upset over what I feel was a duplicitous program, having handed over my data, and for wasting so much of my time. The matcha latte is not sweet and taste very much like ceremonial matcha. The Americanos are good. The food looks good but I'm too upset to eat unfortunately. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Anyway, they have benches in some stalls outside but no table which make sit difficult to eat[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Jane The Bakery - To go in their patio - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

This one has high ratings and reviews, but I've never managed to make it here early enough to experience their full selection. Every time I visit, it's usually close to closing time, so there are only a few bread and pastry options left. Even so, the shop is always busy, which says a lot about how popular it is. This time, I tried the chocolate coconut brioche. The price was reasonable, and the flavor was pretty good. Bread was soft with some kind of sweet jam, not the freshest but it's okay. I noticed from other photo reviews that they offer several savory pastries as well, and they look really tempting. I'll definitely come back earlier next time to give those a try. read more

We tried roast beef sandwich and prosciutto burrata sandwich and the bread itself was pretty good even after having it the next day. For pastries, we had the olive & pistachio twist and raspberry brioche. They were both not too sweet and had their own taste of texture. They also have coffee which I'll try next time!

There's a small parking lot that usually have people move in and out pretty quickly so very convenient if you're driving in! There was a short line around lunch time on a Saturday that moved very fast. Lots of choices from sandwiches to cookies to bread to pastries that all are very visually appealing. They do run out of certain types of pastry such as their cinnamon roll so you should come earlier for those. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's an outdoor seating area for you to enjoy the pastry at the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can also pay with Blackbird here which is convenient. There's more variety than Arsicault, but if you're looking for crossiants, the ones here are definitely not as good. read more

As a baker, I absolutely love this place. I've been to some of their other locations and have always loved them, but this was my first time visiting the bakery. I had the pecan brown butter blondie, the mango lime cheesecake brioche, the triple ginger cookie, and the mango chicken salad sandwich. Everything was delicious, but the pecan brown butter blondie might honestly be my favorite dessert of all time. The sandwich is incredibly flavorful, and the fresh bread makes it even better. I'm already excited to come back and try even more. It was honestly hard not to overorder because everything looked so good! read more

Good selection here! Pop right in and browse. try something! there are ready to go cookies and little baggies if you want something grab and go or for a little gift. there's sweet and there's savory items too. i myself like to try what looks new to me, so recently i had a japanese style fermented beans and pickles on a bread pastry. very interesting. the items go fast so if the person in front of you picks up the last of what you wanted, youre just out of luck. happened to me twice. but i cant leave without getting something, so just pick something else to try! LIMITED parking. best to walk here or find street parking read more

This was my first time ever going to this bakery and goodness I loved everything I got, yet I was disappointed that my strawberry danish went bad when I went to eat at the next day. I have a marble countertop where it stays rather cold, and I placed the pastry on the counter there so it would stay cold so I could eat it for breakfast Sunday morning yet when I went to eat it, I found the mole. I could still eat the pastry around it since the only part was bad with the strawberry. Lol, but it made me wonder if the strawberries were freshly made that day or from another morning. As I walked into the bakery, there was a line in front of me that moved rather quickly so it took maybe 5 to 10 minutes for me to get my order and I ordered eight different pastries! Lol Service was rather quickly and the lady surfing me was very patient since I walked back-and-forth between different Pastory cases since I couldn't see everything as I walked up to the front. I love their assortment of savory pastries with mushrooms and other savory pizza like items as well as their sweets that they had like the danish and coffee cake. They also had a number of gluten-free items that were delicious as well! The gluten-free crumble coffee cake I got was simply superb! I could eat it and feel guilt free since I have a slight allergy to gluten. Lol I have cheap days though! I will definitely be back again and next time I will eat my strawberry danish, the first day! read more

Black sesame flan for the fam and it didn't have any black sesame taste- we were a bit skeptical western bakeries wouldn't know how to do black sesame and it was really tart. Not enough black sesame.

Wow, what a sweet spot to visit while we were in town for my birthday! Chris & Megan were both wonderful in offering us some recommendations and boy were they right! Chris recommended the babka (we decided on the apple butter version) and the twice baked ham & swiss croissant & Megan recommended the Blackberry Kouign Amann. The babka reminds me of monkey bread, sticky and delicious until the last bite! The ham & Swiss croissant is melty and delicious and just falls apart in your mouth beautifully. The blackberry kouign amann, no idea what I even ate but boy I can't wait to have it again and the crisp on the outside reminds me of the top of a crème brûlée. The crème/yogurt filling was SO good. We also tried the Swiss chard galette, it tasted like a filled classic biscuit without the gravy, and finally, I got a hot chocolate for the road and even that exceeded expectations & tasted straight like a melted chocolate bar! If you're in town or a local, you've got to pay this spot a visit! read more

The queue out the door says it all. I come here every time I have a softball game next door at Kimbell field. The breads and pastries are always perfect. I often have their quiche and do suggest it to be heated as I've tried it cold once and learned my lesson. This weekend i tried the mushroom tart and I enjoyed every bite. Items are first come first serve so don't sleep in too long.

Great coffee and tasty pastries -- what more can you ask for? I frequently (perhaps too frequently...) drop by Jane for a quick bite before work, and I'm always impressed by the wide spread of pastries, ranging from the classics to creative and unique confections. I first tried my go-to baseline -- a chocolate croissant and cappuccino -- and I was quite impressed overall! The croissant was buttery and flakey, and it had plenty of chocolate. If anything, it might have had slightly too much chocolate for my taste, since it was quite a bit sweeter than I'm used to, but that might be a controversial take. I've branched out in subsequent visits, often heavily influenced by whatever the person in front of me ordered. I adore their cardamom bun, which is flakey, buttery, and sweet but not overly so. The bun is filled with a vanilla cream that's tasty and surprisingly light (and lightly sweetened), creating a really tasty and balanced treat. For something more savory, I also love their olive and pistachio twist. It is, again, buttery and flakey, but has a great punch of flavor from the generous helping of olives. I love the added nuttiness from the ground pistachios; I will warn you that it does get stuck to your teeth pretty easily, so I'd enjoy this with water. The staff was super friendly and efficient -- I was in and out within five minutes, which included my indecision at the counter -- so it's a great spot if you're in a rush. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There isn't any indoor space to sit down, but there's a standing counter along the window or a few communal booths outside that you can hang out at.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The coffee is nice and nutty, and I love getting the cappuccino here to more fully taste the flavor of the beans. They recently started trying out a new type of almond milk that comes in powder form, so the baristas can adjust the level of water (and therefore the consistency and flavor). It's a bit sweetened but not much, so I love that they're able to make the milk a bit creamier and overcome the classic barista challenge with almond milk -- the wateriness. As they were testing it out, the baristas also asked for customer input, so it was super fun to chat and brainstorm with them, and I loved how open to feedback they are. read more

I had to get sourdough bread while visiting San Francisco and I'm so glad we chose this spot. This bakery is located in a small strip mall with a one way entry parking lot. Parking is tough in San Francisco and unfortunately having a parking lot didn't help. It was full with no sign of anyone leaving. Street metered parking is also available. Some reviews mentioned long lines. We visited on a Monday around 1pm. No lines, but most of the pastries were out. Sandwiches, pastries, and bread were on the menu. The sourdough was priced at $10, which I found reasonable considering the large size of the loaf. We also chose a chocolate chip cookie. It's more of a take-out spot, but there's so many places to enjoy your food. The sourdough bread along with the chocolate chip cookie were absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the sourdough bread. So worth a visit! read more

this chicken shawarma half sandwich is one of the only half sandwiches that i'd say is worth $14. surprised by the amount of chicken they put, not too stingy and the ingredients are fresh and the dill and hummus flavors work really well together. i really like the chocolate sourdough they sell on weekends. the other baked goods are a hit or miss. follows the trend of the overpriced SF pastries ($6 average). the dirty chai iced latte was a huge miss. worth a visit to see for yourself, choose wisely. read more

All of the pastries I tried is very yummy. I also like how I can use Blackbird app to gain loyalty points. However, the frustrating point is they ran out of my favorite twice baked almond croissant usually by 8:30am. I live in the inner Richmond district but their Jane the Toyboat location doesn't sell as many pastries as this one. I was only able to buy the almond croissant the third time I came when it was less crowded on a Friday at 8:30am. On Sunday when I come during lunch time, most of the pastries are gone and one time even the flatbread pizzas were gone. I don't understand why they don't bake more of the really popular items instead of customers feeling frustrated that the items I want to buy are sold out. read more

We popped in after a wonderful meal in the Avenues for a little sweet treat. I'd probably rate it around a 3.9. Service was friendly. I got two cookies. The Big Chewy was soft, heated up, and had everything in it - oatmeal, walnuts, berries, chocolate chips. Kind of like the whole kitchen sink in a cookie. Pretty good, though a bit expensive at four dollars each. The Crazy Cookie was different - crunchy, sticky, like toffee or caramelized marshmallow. Not something I'd crave often, but not a waste either. We also had the Lemon Cake. The flavor was mild, not overbearing. You could taste the lemon, but it didn't wow you. It was thick and dense. Overall, pretty good spot. Cookies were more in the high three range for me. Parking was a little tight, but we found a spot in the middle of the afternoon on a Monday. read more

I visited Jane the Bakery for the first time on a weekday morning. There was only one person ahead of me when I arrived, but the line grew quickly after a group walked in, so timing seems to matter (though a weekday wait probably doesn't get tooo bad). There were so many delicious-looking options that it was tough to choose just a few! I ended up getting a cardamom bun, kouign amann, and a crazy cookie for my husband and I to share. Everything was so tasty, and the prices felt reasonable for SF. I also had my eye on the babka, but it wouldn't been too many things this visit, so it looks like I'll need to come back again for more ;) read more

My friend kept telling me about how Jane was the best in San Francisco . Which Jane where there referring to in San Francisco ? There is lots of Jane's in San Francisco like the Jane on Fillmore , Jane on Larkin , and Plain Jane on Guerrero street. My friend said they had the best croissant and I knew then I had to find this Jane and do my due diligence. I went in search of Jane to take a personal taste test. I was not trying to have Oneitis over my favorite croissant at Arsicault and was willing to give Jane 's croissant a whirl. I found Jane The Bakery on Geary and Steiner. This was one of my favorite Kentucky Fried Chicken location in San Francisco . You could see a huge Kentucky Fried Chicken Bucket hanging as high as a flag on a flag pole . The KFC bucket stood out for blocks. Inside The Jane Bakery was lots of savory and sweet treats. They had lots of different types of baked goods. They also had rustic breads along with not too cheesy pepperoni flatbread pizza. I had their plain and savory croissant and it was delicious but a little flakey. It's the genuine article but it's not as good as the San Francisco GOAT Arsicault. It could be confusing to the brain when there are so many places in San Francisco that contain the name Jane The Jane Bakery has savory and baked goods that are Multigrain and Wholegrain but Arsicault is the GOAT when it comes croissants that are plain read more

Jane keeps standing up to the test of time. I just stopped in for my last time before a cross country move and the cardamom lattice bun I landed on was a perfect send off. The pastry is flakey, the cream filling of full of cardamom flavor and NOT overly sweet. Their seasonal brioches never fail to delight, and the coffee is goooood. I had a really lovely exchange with the counter person about how hard it is to leave SF that will stay with me for long time, which doesn't surprise me at all.

This is more like a neighborhood bakery and nothing looks like the instagram worthy bakeries but taste is actually quite good. We tried a plain croissant and my pastry school classmate thinks it's no.2 in SF (second to Maison Nico). We also tried a yuzu sesame pastry which was also surprisingly good. So don't get fooled by the looks! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Went in there for the first time this weekend, was a little confused as there was no signage for ordering, food or drink menus.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was 1 menu for bread but nothing else. While waiting in line I took it upon myself to look up the menu online so I wouldn't be scrambling when it was my turn to order. When I got to the front, the employees were a bit rude and rushing you through. I understand it's busy but they should definitely work on their customers service. Once I got to the register, I asked about drink and instead of letting me know their options (as they don't have a drink menu) they just asked me "well what do you want?" Overall, not great experience. If you're big on energy, I suggest you go spend your money elsewhere. They act like they are inconvenienced to serve you‍ read more

Jane is always a great spot to pick up pastries in the morning and this time I grabbed a potato gratin croissant to go for a quick savory breakfast and an oat cappuccino. The croissant was nice and decadent with a rich mushroom cream filling and the pastry was perfectly flakey. I've always thought the espresso-based drinks here can taste a bit burnt and my cappuccino wasn't bad but I probably wouldn't come for a coffee again as it was a bit burnt again. read more

Jane The Bakery is located in a small strip mall with a small parking lot. But since it is in the City, street parking is your only other choice. The bakery is geared towards a big long snaking line of people. Unfortunately, we arrived close to closing so they only had a few cookies left. Though, they did have their pre-packaged cookies for $13. I picked up a Crazy Cookie (3.5/5) - which has marshmallows, cornflakes, and chocolate chips. Crisp outside, a mix of crunchy and chewy inside because of the marshmallow and cornflakes with the creaminess of the chocolate chips. Unfortunately, we arrived around an hour before closing so most of their selections were sold out. The baker/cashier was friendly and nice. She answered a few questions that I had. Not sure they have a restroom for patrons. read more

Got here around 730 on a Saturday morning just to snag a cinnamon roll, which was disappointingly only ok. I honestly feel like Cinnabon is better... sorry to all the redditors that suggested this was the best cinnamon roll in the city! Chocolate croissant was also mid but I appreciated that the chocolate was a bit darker. Nothing beats Ariscauly. The brioche part of the raspberry brioche wasn't anything to write home about. In fact, it was almost a little dry. The custard on it was pretty good. The only thing we really enjoyed was the pistachio olive twist, which has a robust flavor and amazing texture. I would just get that next time. read more

This is my first time trying their pastries and it was pretty decent! I came on a Saturday around 10am and there was a short line; waited about 10 minutes to order. I tried their cinnamon bun, cardamom lattice bun, and coffee twist pastries. The cinnamon bun was pretty good and surprising not too sweet, however, the cinnamon bun would've tasted better if it came warm. I'd rate it 4/5. I thoroughly enjoyed the cardamom lattice bun, it came with cardamom cream in the center of the bun. I'd rate it 5/5. The coffee twist was tasty and sweet; it definitely paired well with a cup of coffee. I'd rate it. 4.5/5. I would come back here to try their other pastries/food. There's no seating and bathrooms inside. read more

Came on a weekday afternoon, very short wait. Friendly staff I ordered 1. Ham and swiss croissant: very flaky on the outside, there were a few layers of ham on the inside and the savory cheese filling kind of surprised me but in a good way, not like your typical slice of melted cheese, and the flavors were savory and delicious 9/10 2.

I came here very excited to try some of their baked goods. I got a cherry brioche and the muffuletta sandwich. The cherry brioche, no exaggeration, was AMAZING. It was made exactly the way I like it, like in an Asian style, which means that it was not too sweet or had any artificial sweeteners. I took a picture of it halfway through because I honestly thought it was one of the most amazing baked goods I've had it in a while and I wanted to take a picture and post my review for the public. The cream custard in the brioche is not sweet and has a very subtle flavor, it's a full cream flavor that's not heavy or greasy. The brioche was topped with half a cherry, which I thought was really cute and it was very sweet and balanced nicely with the cream. Even the end of the bite, which was mostly the bread and had no cream or the cherry jam, had taste on its own. The bread tasted a bit like an Italian bread, it had an earthiness and crisp that I found amazing. Jane the bakery is no joke, they make their baked goods off from whole natural ingredients, they don't skip corners. I can tell from the cherry brioche. They are the real deal. The muffuletta sandwich was actually really salty to me, too salty to eat. And I'm saying this as someone who loves really salty food. But I asked if I could return and get a refund for it and they were like no problem and recommended the prosciutto sandwich, which I definitely will try next time. read more
