I hate to do this--by "this" I mean sharing a gem instead of selfishly keeping it to myself--but run, don't walk to KC Paris Desserts. If you love beautifully crafted treats in every color, size, and flavor, you'll have so much fun in this little shop tucked into the Fillmore neighborhood. They offer both sweet and savory options, but if you have a sweet tooth, you're especially in luck--there's no shortage of choices. So far, my favorite is this little tiny custard filled waffle cone treat with fresh blueberries and raspberries on top. I wish I got five. Everything looks handmade, thoughtful, and absolutely gorgeous. It's the kind of place where you want to point at the case and say, "That one... and that one... and that one too." Perfect for taking home an afternoon tea treat, or picking up something special for a gift or celebration. The small business vibes are strong, meaning the product has that specially made for you feel, you get to talk directly to the baker who will hand select items for you if you are like me and don't know which of the amazing treats to try. The prices are reasonable. I got five treats with tip for under $30. Unheard of in San Francisco. I will be back. Hopefully many times. read more

I had already promised husband that I would eat down the freezer and refrigerator but this came up of the tgtg app and had such good reviews. I like to try out new places but without the commitment of much higher prices. The store is bright and clean. The employees welcoming. It was the end of the day so the display cases were a bit barren. That's a good sign. It show people like this bakery We received a lemon tart, nicely presented, with just the right amount of lemon and butter. We split it. Yum. The other 2 breakfast pastries went into the freezer. One came out today. We split that too. I am not sure what it is but it was good. Like most bakeries here, it is pricey for my budget. However it has the most interesting offerings, most of which you can't find elsewhere. I love bakeries and am glad to recommend this one. read more

Scoring parking in the city is like a victory in life. I wanted to pump my fist, 'yes', but someone might think I was off... you know what I mean. After finding a space to pick up a meal for a visiting friend to try, I parked literally in front of this bakery. I don't remember how long it's been since I've been at that restaurant but it must be longer than eight months when this place opened. I walked in and my jaw dropped in seeing the counter cases and front display, though much of the latter was bare. Being overwhelmed by the selection, I walked both cases before picking items to bring home. The baked goods in the display were mainly my breakfast items for the next few days, a mix of sweet and savory ones. Wanting to try something fresh first, I tried the apple turnover (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=WMilVQJy_vA53_EDjweKqw). I started with the cheese croissant (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=E9oW_TqOkmqXFk0GDMm1Pg) which I reheated in my toaster oven. The flavors were soothing and the pastry was not overly buttery. The next morning, I had the French classic Croque Monsieur (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=V57ctoJgUB_HEUCgeNkStA). Having meat in this one, this was definitely better after reheating. I then tried the chocolate chip and M&M cookie (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=C6sPgMMLKXPmu5a9AYmd3A) which was a nice snack between meals. The next breakfast was the chocolate banana croissant (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=B_vcc2WKykQRTJsbUVzIlA); the filling (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=48&select=S7jOtA9nIUdlAAYwantgXw) ingredients paired well. The next morning, I tried the chocolate pear croissant (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=HpQmsBHsJbs4emQZdbZNBQ) which was good but didn't particularly stand out. Of the refrigerated items, I started with the black forest cake (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=t5tu0HXnaokOxO_uKg1UNw). I gradually finished my other purchases in the next few days, the chocolate caramel tart (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=t6u6dzt6BOqlhxMs_7RSQA), peach tartelette (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=r8gGwgIzFaxjoR8BIPz0PQ), and peanut caramel chocolate chip cookie (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=cYvqI2qba3xh8afo4Cpw_A)... now that's a mouthful. I enjoyed everything but might have been sugared out towards the end. The store is bright and modern with a refrigerator that held beverages for take and go. The walls were nicely decorated with writings. Big thanks to Didy (pronounced Dee Dee) for her hospitality and delicious offerings. I will study her menu more carefully before stopping in again. read more

This the real thing! Cute place. Lovely owner. I've had about five items and everything is delicious and authentic. They also cater I believe. read more

Just to start, I'm not a huge fan of sweets or bread. I came on a Saturday and I was pleasantly surprised by the large selection of pastries available at 3pm. The staff are very attentive, kind, and informative. The shop with no place to sit and enjoy the food but there are a lot of parks and cafes nearby to enjoy the sweets. I had gotten a few different croissants and a slice of cake-- admittedly, it was a little too decadent (the whole bag was oily after one hour) for me but the taste was great. read more

I read about KC Paris Desserts in SFIst and the Infatuation and knew I had to come. A Black-owned bakery in the Fillmore offering a taste of France? J'adore! They bake fresh croissants and new pastries each time each morning. Service was just divine. So friendly! They were with a smile the whole time I was there (which was a long time because I couldn't decide what to order.) I finally landed on the Pistachio raspberry eclair ($8.95) which they recommended and it was delicious. There's no indoor seating, but on the same block (I think it is) there's some outdoor seating outside a large apartment building. The Parisian decor was very cute. I will be back to try more baked goods as well as a croque monsieur (or madame.) J'aime! read more

Cute pastry shop with a wide variety of tasty & unique Parisian delights! I tried the almond/chocolate croissant, chocolate/caramel macaron, and pistachio/raspberry eclair. Everything was packed with flavor, with the eclair being the standout. The ratio of cream filling to pastry was just right. Everything is baked fresh, and you can tell by the results that it is a labor of love for the owner. I thought the specialty pastries were reasonably priced at $8.95 each, given the amount of care & decoration that went into them. The croissant was good, and competitively priced at $6.95, but I felt it was a bit on the small side. I also would have liked a little more chocolate...it was maybe less than 5% of the filling. Stiff competition at other bakeries in the city on that one! IMO, this place shines on the specialty options. Don't sleep on that pistachio eclair! read more

I was being helped by the baker and she was very nice to describe the difference. Each dessert is about $8.95 I was deciding between the Dubai, caramel chocolate or lemon meringue. The lemon meringue won. The crust is more like a cookie. Very light in sugar. Reminds me of eating a lemon meringue pie. I gobbled it up. Perfect lemony. read more

Great smells and a cute bakery on Fillmore. The owner was so welcoming and kind. We learned they've just been open a couple months. Prices are generally fair but a bit higher on a pastry $7-10 per item (less for cookie). 4.5/5 - Favorite item was the raspberry pistachio eclair, which had soft cream and lovely tart raspberry jam. Not too sweet 4/5 - Pistachio white chocolate chip cookie was hefty with a bit of a nice firmer outside and softer inside. Lots of filling of chocolate chips 3.5/5 Mango coconut passionfruit mousse had lots of layers and the passionfruit layer was very delicious and tart while balanced with the coconut. The bottom layer of cake or some sponge-like layer was a bit off in texture and didn't go as well with the creamy layers on top 3/5 Ham and cheese croissant was almost half soggy and soft when we had it and the cheese went too much into the pastry. The flavor was decent cheesy salty and meaty but the texture threw me off. Wish the owner offered to warm this up for us maybe it would have crisped back up some than room temp read more

Fantastic new bakery spot! I came in on a Thursday afternoon to a good selection of pastries. I ended up getting the Pistachio Raspberry Eclair, which was beautiful and delicious. I loved that the pistachio and raspberry flavors were both prominent and paired together incredibly well. The eclair was also super well made. There were a lot of other enticing options, so hopefully I can try out some of the other options soon! The owner was also very sweet in explaining the different desserts, and she seemed very passionate about her work. It's the kind of establishment that I absolutely love supporting. I hope KC Paris Desserts continues to flourish! read more

A Parisian pastry chef is bringing some real fancy pastries and desserts to the Fillmore. She is super nice and took time to talk to us about her work. The dessert case looked so fabulous and delicious. We got the ham and cheese croissant, pistachio white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookie, this pistachio raspberry passion fruit pastry, then a coconut passion fruit raspberry mousse. The pistachio raspberry pastry with the passion fruit filling was outstanding!! The pistachio cookie was thiccccc, so sweet. It was a little pricey, but quality pastries! Nice place to enjoy fancy pastries with friends. Great service too! read more

Great new bakery spot! They have a variety of sweet and savory pastries. There is no where to really sit and eat. It's mainly a grab and go spot. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

This bakery is outstanding! It is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood and I try to go as often as I can. Since it opened I have purchased only salads at Jane. I never thought Jane could be replaced for me when it comes to baked goods. The variety and quality are top-level. They do custom orders as well. The owner is actually from Paris, and she is a lovely, kind person (as are the others on her team). The space is clean, welcoming, and bright. The high quality is consistent and is here 100%. I also love supporting a true local business that is owned by a woman of culture. I highly recommend that you visit KC Paris Desserts! read more

Every time I visit San Francisco I stop at this bakery...sometimes multiple times. I love the cheese pastries, croissant, spinach roll and the raisin roll (not sure that's the proper name for it). The owner is very pleasant and charming. I just hope that the store gets more foot traffic so she can stay in business and continue to serve the community. Although there isn't a lot of space, I wonder if she had a couple tables for people to sit if that would attract more customers. Anyway, love the pastries!!! read more

KC Paris Desserts - This is my latest haul. Raisin roll, cheese pastries, croissant, spinach roll and macaroons. Not sure about some of the names - Desserts Near Me - San Francisco, California

A true Parisian bakery with a spectacular array of pastries and a pastry chef that treats everyone like a long time friend. Possibly the only French pastry shop in the city that isn't pretentious. Love this place. Everytime I come by there are new items on the shelf and some are hard to find in the city. A hidden gem - everyone should come by at least once. read more

We had a wonderful experience at KC Paris Desserts today. I read about it on The Infatuation's list of best new places in SF. The service was so very friendly and kind. The owner took time to describe the different options. The pistachio raspberry eclair and lime tart were amazing. Highly recommended!! read more

KC Paris Desserts - Desserts Near Me - San Francisco, California

We stopped on a quiet day in San Francisco. We had plenty of time to look at the large variety of attractive items on offer. KC Paris Desserts has many pastries I've not seen sold at other bakeries in the city. We had a lovely chat with the person (the chef on duty?) who helped us with our order. She was friendly and didn't rush us. We bought a few different items. My partner liked the chocolate eclair and pain suisse. My favorite was the berries mousse. I let it sit at room temperature for a bit before eating it. It was light (texture was like melted ice cream), flavorful, and satisfying without being heavy. We will be back for more! read more

This is the BEST new bakery in all of SF. French owned. All the pastries are so fresh, delicious and different. So many options -- something for every palette. The owner is a true chef. She's also the sweetest person you'll ever meet. So much love goes into her food. Please go support this small business. You won't regret it. Pastries are also so beautiful so they make great gifts if you're going to someone's home, a dinner party, etc. read more

The best bakery in the area, esp W of Fillmore & S of Geary. I don't love really sugary foods--excessive salt and sugar masks poor natural flavors. I could taste the base ingredients of the pastries, and the coffees are well prepared. DiDi makes this the best in the area. read more

Im convinced this is the only pastry shop that is truly a pastry shop like those in Paris. You see quite a few items that you don't normally see in SF - meringues, an array of eclairs, opera you name it. These are staples in Parisian patisseries. The owner is from France and she is a lovely person, come by and support this small business! read more

KC Paris Desserts - Cookies and macarons. My entire office devoured them. - Desserts Near Me - San Francisco, California

KC Paris Desserts is the best new addition to the Fillmore. I have loved everything I've tried over the past month -- you can't go wrong with any of her cookies, tartelettes, or danishes. My personal favorite is a tie between the almond-chocolate croissant and the mixed berry tartelette. Today I tried a raspberry danish for the first time and was just blown away. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and so delicious. It's to-go only but with so many beautiful parks nearby, KC Paris has become a weekend staple for us. San Francisco has many amazing bakeries, but this patisserie stands out and is one I know I will keep coming back to. read more

I rarely write reviews, and never have I done so more than once for the same business, but KC Paris Desserts is the kind of place that demands an exception. From the moment you walk in, you're met with Chef Didy's infectious joy - visiting her is the highlight of my day, every time. She's often there from the crack of dawn until late into the night, pouring her heart into every detail, and, for a long time, she did it all herself. Where else in the city can you find a perfectly flaky, buttery Parisian croissant, a melt-in-your-mouth fruity mousse, or the best salmon quiche? Her eclairs are divine and her newest creation - the Dubai chocolate éclair - is pure genius. Every bite reflects her creativity, care, and unmatched skill as a pastry chef. In just a few short months, Didy has built something truly special. She embodies everything that makes the Fillmore great. She's not just running a patisserie; she's building community - one warm pastry and even warmer conversation at a time. We love you, Didy! Thank you for bringing so much joy to our neighborhood :) read more

Great little black owned business just opened in the Fillmore. Croissants are amazing. No seating just take and go.

KC Paris is a wonderful and authentic French bakery in The Fillmore. The pastries are made fresh each day with care from chefs from France. Their almond croissant is the best I've had in the city but everything is delicious. I'm also a big fan of their pain au chocolate and variety of fresh baked cookies. This place holds court with the best SF has to offer. read more

This place is great! Come check them out on Lower Fillmore. The owner and employees are super nice!

I'm a big fan of great bakeries. Jane, Fillmore Bakery, Arsicault, B. patisserie. So I know a good cookie but rarely do I run into something so original, so balanced, where every bite is the perfect combination of sweet and tart, crunchy and soft. This bakery transports you. I haven't tried anything like it in SF or California to be honest. This is a raspberry chocolate cookie but they also have a strawberry pistachio that has an equally powerful effect. I'm also a big fan of their fruit tartlettes. This chef is a force. read more

KC Paris Desserts - Raspberry chocolate cookie - Desserts Near Me - San Francisco, California

The best chocolate chip cookies in San Francisco, marvelous croissants and beautiful Parisian patisseries. The. charming baker /pastry chef ran a boulangerie in Paris's most elegant neighborhood for many years, and she has now opened up her own in San Francisco. You walk in the door and feel you are in Paris. And whatever you buy you will eat as though you are in Paris. The remarkable chocolate chip cookie is Parisian style -- more chocolate than dough. This still underdiscovered gem is wonderful addition to the culinary life of our City. Go! One tip: They often run out of the cho chip cookie. But if you give her 15 minutes advance notice, the baker/owner will pop some cookie dough into the oven and the cookies will be available and warm when you get there. read more

Lovely new bakery with a very kind pastry chef from Paris. Lots of variety in treats from croissants to tarts to eclair. Clearly a lot of care and craft go into these baked goods.
