Butter and crumble has me coming back almost every month for their monthly menus with seasonal…read moreitems and unique takes on food items, including the rice roll and patatas bravas. Never could score a preorder box, and instead, line up at 7:45 (earliest you can line up) and wait until opening at 9. Usually spend total 1.5 hours here after receiving the pastries. No matter what flavor the croissant is, it is consistently flaky and buttery. The classic pistachio cardamom sugar croissant is one of my favorite sweet items. Its not too sweet and the flavors are prominent. The rice roll was my favorite monthly flavor for september. The bun was pillowy and soft with meat, scallions and cilantro scattered throughout. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. There is a max 10 pastries, 3 of each pastries limit for each party. They're also able to separate pastries into different boxes if requested when ordering.

Wow...this place is just a happy beginning!…read more Yes parking may frustrate you at times, and maybe the line is a bit long...even though it moves fast, it looks intimmidating..But this place DELIVERS! They have a pink espresso machine, a pink dough mixer, and the cup lids are pink. The staff is super focused, and friendly....Greeted with smiles and great suggestions, I got to try a number of treats. (Not 10, their max limit per order-customer). The Pistachio croissant...Pretty special, I never had it with a cream filling. The little flat bread with eggplant and pomegranates and harissa drizzle...super!. Tahini chocolate.....the list goes on...The olive bread. So if you are going to make it to any part of the northern CA area, specially San Francisco (Yes, there are great bakeries around here), I would put this on the top of the list, as the preparation is all from scratch, and the unique flavors and approach to some well known treats is something one must enjoy. Oh, and on top of that, I ordered a plain espresso, and the barista managed to do it justice. So dont be on the fence on the coffee making and quality. The location is on the steeper roads that I have no idea how people deal with living here. Good job, as once you stop in the middle of the climb, you will likely spin some tire to get traction, and that is on a dry day! The bakery is among a residential area.

They were the only business in that building on Washington Street before moving to their longtime store on Stockton between Clay and Sacramento, across the street from the Chinatown post office. About seven years ago, likely due to a rent hike, they moved to this location on Clay Street, one building below Stockton Street. They are known for their preserved meats, such as sausages, pork belly, duck, and a variety of legs, wings, and even a pressed duck. In traditional Cantonese cuisine, these are often used in steaming over pork or rice to pass those flavors into those foods. My dad used to stop here after his weekday Chinatown lunches and bring an assortment of meats home and ask the caregiver to steam them as mentioned as a dinner dish. Recent years, my friends from Hawaii stop here when visiting to bring items they can't find on the islands home, freezing some as emergency food. ** Side note, the family is continuing their legacy in other ways with the daughter being a James Beard touted baker who has a store and restaurant in the City.
