When the full size Kouign Amann runs out these breadsticks, see my photos, are excellent substitutes: caramelized, sweet, crunch, and flaky. Sort of like bite size Kouign Amann. The layered coffee / espresso cake is excellent, just the right amount of coffee, sweetness and cream. It's subtly sweet and just the right harmony of bite through the layers. It's a little small portioned but love the sleek rectangular slice. They often have seasonal, Asian inspired flavors such as sesame Kouign Amann. For holidays, order ahead, and arrive early. For fresh Kouign Amann's, get them early in the morning. They sell out. Location: near UCSF Mount Zion medical center.

Me and a friend went here on a Friday (in April - the menus change monthly). The owner requested…read morethat lineups start after 7:45 - we got there at about 7:50 AM and there was already about half a block's worth of line. Once the bakery opened at 9 AM the line moved fairly fast, but by opening time the line was down two blocks and wrapped around out of sight. We'd heard about B&C lines but even this on a weekday morning was surprising. Overall the pastries were very good, I will say that the savory pastries rank higher here than anywhere else I've been, but the sweet pastries don't. We got the Strawberry Rhubarb Cruffin, Lemon Bluberry Bun, Potato Artichoke Croquiche, Bacon Egg & Cheese, and Sam's Blood Orange Olive Oil Cake. The Croquiche was my favorite of all of them, and it was great warm, with a nice creamy filling. From the sweet pastries, my favorite was the Strawberry Rhubarb Cruffin - the rhubarb taste wasn't very strong but it was overall flaky, not too dry (even when eating it later in the day), and the cinnamon coating also didn't clash with the strawberry, vanilla, and orange. Least favorite was the olive oil cake; it was slightly bitter and the olive oil taste was dominating. These pastries are very large. Split between 2 people 3 of them were enough for us to be so full we saved the rest for later. I also got the Brown Butter Butterscotch Latte (iced), I'm not usually a fan of coffee but it was really good (it's very sweet so as a non-coffee drinker that worked out for me - the syrups overpower the coffee taste). The inside is cute with a pastel pink theme, we were able to snag the two seats by the window. I also liked the merch for sale and got a small print of the storefront. Definitely worth going too once, but due to the line I probably won't return until a monthly menu comes out that has a lot of things I desperately want to try. It's a top 3 bakery in SF for sure.

What was unacceptable was the fact that they, after waiting in the line, took our order and then we had to wait longer for them to make it. Minutes into that second wait, they called us up to inform us that the items they collected our money for ran out. What would we like instead? All that seems rather odd. Why take my money if you don't have it? Furthermore, is the best form of compensation just simply "what would you like instead?" Not exactly customer service oriented and lack of customer love.

Sweet Glory does not announce itself. No loud signage, no line out the door begging for your…read moreattention. Just a quiet marble table, a tiny vase with two yellow flowers, and a slice of matcha crepe cake that makes you forget what you were stressed about. I came in on a weekday afternoon and ordered the matcha crepe cake and a passion fruit refresher. The cake is the kind that looks almost too precise to eat. Dozens of paper thin layers stacked with the kind of patience most people reserve for things that actually matter. The matcha flavor is real, not the green tea powder imposter you get everywhere else. The drinks are thoughtful too. Not sweet for the sake of being sweet. You can tell someone actually tasted these before putting them on the menu. The space itself earns its own mention. Marble counters, natural light pouring in from the street, good music at a volume that lets you actually have a conversation. It feels like someone designed it for the experience, not the Instagram photo, which ironically makes it very photogenic. 4.7 stars on Yelp with nearly 300 reviews and I understand every single one of them. If you are in the Inner Sunset and you pass this place without stopping, that is on you.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The guy at the coffee bar was super helpful. He answered my questions about their beans and even gave me a sample shot of espresso to help me understand his description of the flavor profile.

I would rank them as the following: 1) hazelnut cake: on the sweeter side but delicious in small amounts 2 and 3) opera and imperial were both chocolatey in their own way 4) ispahan: interesting concept, sweeter cream on the outside and tart jelly like on the inside. I think the sweetness and tartness weren't blending well for me, but the dessert itself was beautiful to look at! I would love to come back!

Butter & is a premier cake bakery in San Francisco…read more They create elegant special occasion cakes, with flavors that are unique, and change seasonally. Getting married? They offer a five slice option for cake tasting. You can purchase an additional slice from the seasonal selection for an additional cost. The tasting is enough for at least a few bites from each slice. I like the option of ordering the "sampler" and having the tasting in your own home. The designs for their cakes are that simplistic beauty that stands on its own. It's a very elevated look. The price point is on the higher end. Current flavor offerings are: lychee raspberry, brown butter/lemon, hazelnut/chocolate, double chocolate, and cookies and cream. You can walk in and purchase a slice for around $10.00. The offerings are whatever they have available. Lovely staff and a lovely experience.

The kouign aman of course is always delicious and the coating just made it even more decadent. Definitely will have to come back next year to try their other specials. The lunar new year specials were only around for 2 weeks so have to catch them when they come back!

We had very short notice (Less than 16 hours) to order 40+ croissants. Many bakeries declined our order due to short notice, but Yoel at Tartine came through and was able to get our order in. We placed the order around 5PM on a Tuesday for pick up at 8am on Wednesday - which is unheard of! I really appreciate the extra attention and hustle of Tartine to make the order happen, and the croissants were a huge hit (because they are so delicious). Big thanks to Tartine!

The menu was as full of other really tasty sounding items though so I'll be back to try more. They were quick to get my order ready. You order outside and there isn't any seating so plan to stuff to go. The pretzel croissant was delicious. Very unique hybrid and I'd recommend it to anyone. The ham and cheese works well flavor wise but don't expect it to be as substantial as if you made a sandwich at home. I might buy some cold cuts and cheese, buy the regular pretzel croissant, and make a thicker sandwich at home. The Berliner was a fluffy, airy, sweet treat. In my opinion it was very balanced between pastry and jam. The price is very reasonable for the quantity and quality I received. Would go again.

I can say with confidence that every single item, yes I mean it. EVERY ITEM Is a treasure. I cannot count the amount of mid-shift treats that I've looked back in w/ such fondness. Hahdough does a superb job mixing the textures of their pastries w/ the various fillings that they use. Ohoho boy and the pretzels... Honestly they hold a candle to pretzels that I've tried in Germany. There is no ambiance for this location, it is a service window where you pay at the screen, then leave. Every time I've received my pastry or cake, it has been delivered in a delicate manner. Though I haven't been here since the middle of 2024, so take this review with a grain of salt for the lack of recency. Thank you Hahdough for giving me energy.
