    Not cheap but definitely a great spot for donuts. The buttermilk bar is amazing.

    Why the HELL have I never been here?!…read more for starters, I have a really bad gluten sensitivity, and finding a place like this feels like an oasis. Immediately after coming in, you are greeted with a shelf of delicious gluten free goods, a freezer full of REAL gluten free bread. Not the doodoocaca stuff you can buy at the regular store. I'm talking baguettes and sh*t. But then that's not all. They have an entire menu that you can dive into and munch on if you are just looking for a quick bite. What the f*ck Mariposa, hell yeah!

    Let me begin by saying that I think this place has the best key lime pie I've ever tasted, and I…read morecan eat gluten. I also like that this location has longer business hours than most GF bakeries and serves breakfast all day as well as lunch items. Another big plus is the allergens are clearly labeled online and in the shop. However, I've had negative experiences here on 3 consecutive visits. I go here for my gluten free partner. On one of the visits, I ordered a stuffed bagel and waited for 15 minutes before going back up to the counter to say that I still hadn't received my order. It was busy, but by this time, the person standing at the counter had nothing to do. They apologized and made my order then, but the experience left a bad impression on me since it was my first time eating inside the bakery. On my next visit, I ordered several items inside the bakery to take home with my pickup order and received a pain de chocolate instead of a cinnamon donut, which I didn't notice until I got home. The pain de chocolate costs more and my partner wasn't able to share it with me due to a soy allergy. I suppose I could've been paying more attention, but these items don't have similar names at all, so I was not expecting this error. That said, I made a mental note to pay more attention when ordering inside the bake shop for future orders. On my next visit, I ordered a mocha cupcake and berry muffin, but the cashier rang me up for a hand pie instead of a muffin. Again, the hand pie was more expensive. This time I caught it and asked for it to be corrected. I work in customer service and I act with kindness when mistakes are made because we're only human. However, I believe 3 negative experiences in a row shows a pattern and warrants some attention. I will continue to patronize this business due to the reasons I mentioned at the beginning of this review, but I will now have to be vigilant in ensuring that I receive the correct items and am charged the correct amount. This of course is not ideal. I hope service improves.

    This is a gem. The only place I will queue up for. Do not let the long line discourage you…read more Chicken sandwich no slaw is my go to order and Betty (in the blue wig) knows how to fry chicken. Don't sleep on the strawberry short cake, on a biscuit rather than angel food cake, fresh whipped cream and the best strawberries. All the cookies are good too. It's a walk up in 2026 and they used to have ironing board tables with chairs outside but no longer, it just to go. Very efficient and great service. Near to Whole Foods and Asmara too. As mentioned, the line moves quickly. A must.

    The OG "upscale fried chicken" sandwich in Oakland. It changed the game in the 2010s but the rest…read moreof the world caught up fast. The sandwich has three elements: bun, chicken (or tofu), and coleslaw. The strongest is the chicken: afried breast with thick batter that makes a satisfying crunch and contains enough black pepper to bring some warmth. The coleslaw is heaped on and becomes its own substantial event. It could be part of the greatness but for two drawbacks. First, there is a lot of oil in the coleslaw. Maybe it could work for a grilled chicken sandwich, but a fried one already brings the oil. Second, shrinkflation came for the bun. Holding the thing together is a challenge. However much, the plain bread used to soak up the slaw oil, there is just not enough bun to do it now. But here's the catch: there are at least two great upscale fried chicken sandwiches just down the road. BSB is a good take on what the chicken sandwich can be, but I wouldn't make it a regular spot.

Recently they added fresh spring rolls, banh mi sandwiches & drinks. The spring rolls are fresh, huge & delicious. I tried the chicken, shredded pork & tofu - I like the tofu, chicken & shredded pork last. Nothing is premade, everything is made for you while you wait.

    I know this place is called donut and gelato but this review is about their banh mi and summer…read morerolls. Tried the char siu and ham combo banh mi ($12) and the shredded pork summer rolls ($7). Everything is vegan. First, the servings are big. And at these prices! And it's not just big but delish. Second, it's good food. Banh mi bread had a crisp crust and a satisfying chew. The fillings were generous, and flavors were well balanced. The pickles had a nice crunch, and the "meaty" parts were savory goodness. Would def get again. The summer rolls come 2 per order; using a bit of lettuce of separate them was a nice touch. Slightly preferred the savory "fish sauce" especially after I soaked the jalapeños in it. The peanut sauce was a little sweet for me so prolly would have enjoyed more with some chili sauce. The shredded pork was a fun, slightly bouncy texture. Also bought a lemongrass beef banh mi but didn't have room, so looking forward ti lunch tomorrow.

    Gluten challenge stop #7. All I can say is WOW! We got the yuzu bun and a pandan bun…read more The yuzu meringue bun was amazing. It's like a morning bun, and the texture of the morning bun is light, fluffy. Lots of sugar on it, it shedded everywhere while eating. The filling is the star. It is a curd and has a strong a prominent yuzu flavor. They filled it VERY generously. You get curd with every bite. We both agreed the meringue on top, while good, was not needed. The yuzu curd is not too sweet, they really lean into the sour so it balances out the sweet bun nicely. The pandan bun is like nothing I've EVER had. It's the strongest pandan flavored anything I've ever had. You can smell the pandan before you even bite into it. It's a lot like a brioche bun (not dissimilar to challah in texture) with a pandan-flavored concha top. It has a cream-style pandan filling which is a SUPER strong pandan flavor. Generously filled, very generously. Will definitely return if I can. Their flavors are on a rotating basis. The woman at the counter was enthusiastic and polite, eagerly answered questions.

    I was ecstatic to try their Yuzu Meringue Bun, but I was quite disappointed with the packaging. I…read moreunderstand it's challenging to find a box that closes securely without ruining the beautiful, photo-worthy presentation, but please consider leaving it open and allowing the customer to close it at their own leisure. Yuzu Meringue Bun -- Spot on with the cruffin and meringue combination. The yuzu flavor was generous, although it leaned a little too tart for my personal preference. I wished there was more meringue -- perhaps having a layer of meringue in the center would have made it absolutely superb! Brown Butter Mochi Bites -- These were alright, but nothing particularly special. They were missing the signature mochi chewy texture, so they didn't quite feel "mochi" enough to truly be called mochi bites. Sesame Cookie -- Unfortunately, it was too hard and crisp for my liking. Crossubi -- A very unique concept and not bad overall. I just wish the interior wasn't quite as hollow; a little more filling would have elevated it.
