The pastries are absolutely tasty and made with passion and creativity of an extremely talented team, but please be respectful of the locals too who live around in the area. Ambiance continues to be absolutely amazing but again only has 2 chairs so it's best to just get your pastries and coffee / matcha and find a nice place to eat them such as Pier 39, Francisco Park, or Aquatic Park Beach. Hoping their cake shop eventually finds the right location and wish them continued success in the future.

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.

The owner welcomed us as we walked in and it's a very nice spice and tea place on the second floor…read moreof Pier 39. We looked at the honey and the spices. The owner came over and introduced us to the jars that are all around the shop. You can open these jars to smell whatever spice or tea to get a feel for what you would be purchasing. If I remember correctly, the owner and his girlfriend blend it themselves. We purchased some flavored salts, and cranberry apple jam honey. They also had samples of a white strawberry tea that was amazing. This store is great and the service from the owner was fantastic from a details end. I appreciated what they were doing and definitely will be back when we venture out to Pier 39 again.

We were greeted by the owners, who were very helpful in showing us their store and products. We went to pier 39 just to walk around, and ended up having the best experience while there. We ended up getting a bourbon bacon salt, a honey spoon, and got a free tuna rub! The store was so clean and well organized. I love that the spices/herbs/salta/sugars all had jars that you could open and smell for reference. The candles are also noteworthy! They smelled fantastic and I might just have to make my way back for some! Overall, Andrew, Mauricio, Blair, and Ian made the experience excellent! If you're walking through the pier, definitely stop into the business and give them look and purchase!!

Aloha Seafood Noah's ark aquarium…read more Sustainable seafood West coast East coast 5/5 stars let's go! I was able to order through the phone and spoke to Jermaine. Super cordial and friendly and delivers to you wherever. He was also early to the meet up location @ Daly City which is always a plus! The fish , Salmon I'll tell you was a lot more HEALTHIER and VALUE than at Whole Foods, Costco, Seafood markets on Mission ETC. Aloha seafood has it all. Oysters , shrimp, lobster, scallops, Crab, and fish. There's more to discover, Just ask for Jermaine . Not only is the seafood here healthier and fresher but also more cost effective. No portion control sizes and no portion control prices. Why pay the middle man? Yeeeee Come straight to the source and taste the difference.

The whole ambiance of the store is such a vibe - my husband and I love it. Even down to the music being played. It passes the vibe-check as the kids say. lol. I've been in for their soft serve & cannolis - both so yums! You can never go wrong with soft serve! You can choose from either a cone or cup & they have a bunch of toppings - even the olive oil & sea salt which I have heard AMAZING things about but I am a plain-girly so I opted for a plain soft serve on a cone. EDIT: GET THE OLIVE OIL & SEA SALT SOFT SERVE - ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG, it's LIFE CHANGING! I would never think the combo works but it freakin' works! lol. TRY IT, you won't regret it! If you go here & don't get a cannoli, did you actually go here? Just asking. Cannoli choices: Plain, Pistachio, Chocolate Chips & Rainbow Sprinkles. My go-to is Chocolate Chips, it never fails! A great thing about their cannolis is that they make 'em after you order! Fresh & hot off the presses! They also have coffee but I have never tried it BUT it gives me a reason to come back!

Hidden gem specialty grocery store in the Marina. Was surprised to discover they even sell pastries…read moresourced from popular local chains like Tartine and Craftsman and Wolves. Great opportunity to try their menu without the long lines at the original stores. There's a cute patio area outside where you can sit by the sidewalk like you're in a European cafe. Loved the cruffin (croissant muffin). Make sure to get it heated so it's extra soft. The layers are so fluffy, and the cream cheese filling is amazing. Breakfast sandwich was also incredible. It was so fresh. It had a nice kick from the barbecue sauce. Other items are hit or miss. The proscuitto sandwich was so dry and salty I wasn't able to finish it. Would skip that next time. But overall very impressed by the quality of the pastries and friendly ambiance.

As a local, I thought this was a tourist trap and I was WRONG. We ordered the combo plate with two…read morefish, four shrimp, and fries. It was more than enough to feed two women (almost too much). In addition, each piece was surprisingly FRESH and you can tell. If it was frozen prior, then you sure did a great job making it taste as if you just caught it from the ocean. The fish was falling apart and thick slices/fillets, the shrimp was bouncy and the fries were thicc. The batter was light and there were no air gaps and it was not greasy at all (someone is a pro at the oil temperature I see you) I've never been defeated by a plate of food before but I do dare say it was almost too much for me. Highly recommend (may take a while for your food to arrive but it is worth waiting).

This food truck is about a 15 minute walk from Aquarium of the Bay. We got here at around 1:30 PM,…read moreordered, and got our food within 15 minutes. It gets really hot, but thankfully there were quite a few benches with seating that had umbrellas to provide shading. Each bench also had malt vinegar (a must), ketchup, and salt. Fast casual eatery. What we got: - Fully loaded fries - super saucy! The menu says it has garlic, melted cheddar, and homemade Baja sauce. Definitely tangy and easily shareable amongst 3-4 people. - Fish only - comes with two pieces of fried fish and tartar sauce. This was pretty good and not too bad of a portion. We split it and ate one each. Good batter to fish ratio! Got our fish and chips cravings satisfied for sure! Bonus points for the pun, the Codmother is actually hilarious and definitely won me over. Would totally come back for more if I'm ever visiting San Francisco again!

The concept of this place is absolutely wonderful…read more One of my coworkers recommended this place which is a courtyard of cooperative small businesses operating together collaboratively and thriving in one of the most expensive cities. After I received this recommendation, my other coworkers and I went (the person who recommended was working remotely that day). We walked there and it was an easy 10 minute walk from mid - Market street. We were impressed with the variety of options that were available to us. The smells that hit you when you first come in are so amazing and intoxicating. When my coworkers and I were ready to eat, someone saw us come in as a group and had a table prepared for us. The atmosphere felt like a bizarre. So full of life and so energetic. You could be there to either enjoy the food, or collaborate with your colleagues. There are so many options, worth coming back and trying something different each time. Definitely check this place out!

Excellent food and customer service. I have never been to any place where I have been treated so…read morewell with such a gracious owner. We came almost at closing time. We placed our order and waited for about 20 minutes. After our server delivered our food, Steven whi is the owner came out and greeted everyone. He came to our table and check up on us and chatted. I was eating a hamburger and was taking food from other. Steven noticed I didn't have any utensils and brought out a new plate setting for me. When we have left over, he brought out extra buns, lettuce and tomato for us to put the extra steak so we can make a sandwich later. What a kind and considerate man. We ordered the Tagiota Burger. It huge and perfectly seasoned. The patty is crispy outside with all kinds of toppings. It is one of the best burger I have. The beef empanada is filled with beef and very filling. The milanesa is the Argentina interpretation of country fried steak. It has cheese, ham, and tomatoes layered along with perfectly cooked French fries. Portion is generous.

Good to see you again Tanguito…read more I had the skirt steak with fries, and those fries were seriously good. Thick-cut, crispy, flavorful, and easily some of the best fries I've had in San Francisco. I could have eaten a whole second order. The skirt steak came medium. They didn't ask for a temperature, and I normally eat my meat rare, so I was a little nervous. But it was still juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. Argentina knows its beef. And then there's the owner, who made the experience even better. He was genuinely kind, and we ended up having a great conversation about his garden, his house in Buenos Aires, and his country Argentina. That kind of personal connection is something you don't always get when you're grabbing lunch. Great food. Great prices. Very welcoming. They've been here since 2008, and yesterday happened to be their anniversary. Happy Anniversary, Tanguito! I'm coming back for the choripán next time. That one is already on my list. A little food truck, a little Argentina, and some seriously good fries.
