    Menu: Slices-$7 & 6-inch whole cheesecakes-$30
    Cherylynn N.

    3.5 STARS Salmon Lox Cheesecake?! As a lactose intolerant, it's worth the bubble guts to find out! Soft opening in the Ferry Building this week, Nash Bakes offers sweet and savory cheesecakes. The owner started selling cheesecakes in San Carlos and San Mateo, and this is his first permanent space (kiosk). Hours of operation: Open everyday, 10:30 am - 6:30 pm. M E N U Slices: $7 + 6 inch cheesecakes: $30 Current flavors: Vanilla, chocolate, cookies & cream, lemon poppy, raspberry swirl, passionfruit, black sesame, salted caramel, and salmon lox. Highly recommend buying a slice (small palm sized) to taste test before buying a whole cheesecake. * Salmon Lox Cheesecake Slice ($7 x2) Inspired by a salmon lox bagel, the tough bagel crust is layered with very dry crumbly cream cheese with a briny, citrus flavor from the capers and dill. Crowned with buttery, silky smooth cured lox (fav part). The gentleman said, it was baked fresh this morning and to eat it asap (we did) so not sure why the cream cheese was as dry as a scone. * Vanilla Cheesecake Slice ($7) The original fared better but was just ok, dense with a thick, sweet cookie crust. I prefer cheesecakes with a softer, creamy texture. Overall, I was disappointed with the cheesecakes' (2.5 stars) but it's soft opening for a small business so giving them grace. With Basuku and Zanze's gone (I know the latter is available frozen at Little Original Joe's but I miss the charm of their storefront), Nash Bakes may be welcome addition to the city.

    Cookies & Cream Cheesecake

    Brand new cheesecake stand in the Ferry Building, filling the void of the old cheesecake stand. You can buy it by the slice or the whole cake. The slices look kinda small, compared to like Cheesecake Factory size, but they're rich and filling. Passionfruit Cheesecake: Love the contrast of rich dense cheesecake again tangy fresh passionfruit. They even left the seeds in, for a nice crunch. A good flavorful crust too. Probably my favorite here! Cookies & Cream Cheesecake: A really fun cheesecake. Reminded me of the ice cream, but not frozen. Loved how the crust was made from cookies too. Cookie Monster would definitely approve. Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake: Once again, I love the contrast of fruit and cheesecake. The swirl is more subtle than topping, so the cheesecake is the dominant flavor. But still a nice subtle medley. Salted Caramel Cheesecake: I was kinda expecting this to be more caramel intense. Like why not add some caramel swirls? It was sweeter than regular cheesecake and had a hint of caramel. Probably the least memorable. Black Sesame Cheesecake: This looked like something Wednesday Addams would totally approve of. It also had a not-that-sweet and kinda tahini-like taste. I enjoyed the uniqueness. Savory Salmon Cheesecake: Had to try this just to say I did. It wasn't as horrible as you'd think. The cheesecake is not sweet, so it kinda tasted like an oversized spread of dill cream cheese. The bagel crust is really crumbly. The salmon kinda gets overpowered by all the cheese. The capers and pickled onion add a nice contrast. Glad I tried, but not something I'd go for again.

    Stand inside the middle of the ferry building selling slices and whole cheesecakes! I got the black sesame slice and it was good! I appreciated the thick layer of crust at the bottom which is a ratio I prefer. Crust itself was nice and crumbly. Flavor wasn't as strong, interested to try the others!

    Lemon Poppy

    Creamy and flavorful. Used the app Too Good To Go to try out a surprise variety of cheesecakes from Nash Cakes, which I had been eyeing for a while. They were pretty cold when I got them so I let them sit out for 20 minutes before digging in. This really helped bring out their flavors more and prevent any crumbling of the cheesecake when piercing through them with a fork. I tried the Traditional, Candy Cap and Lemon Poppy. All three were delicious, it's hard to really rank them since they all had their own unique flavors. If I had to though, the Traditional would be #1 and then Candy Cap and Lemon Poppy come in at 2nd together. Just depends on what you're in the mood for. Candy Cap being warm with maple notes, Lemon Poppy being fresh with light creamy citrus notes.

    It's always nice to see shops and stands opening in the Ferry Building. Watching a local TV news broadcast , I learned about this new stand opening as they interviewed the young lady who manned this shop located by the right entrance door under the clock tower as you face the building. After finishing my Tuesday farmer's market shopping, I stopped here for a look. Looking at their signs, display case, and offerings, I asked for her recommendations, and she mentioned a few flavors. I decided to start off with two slices. The 1st one that I tried at home was the passion fruit cheesecake slice (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=NHsAtlZVAssy83NldRXmxA); it was packed very nicely and very eye catching. It was tasty and not overly rich, dense, or sweet, but the passion fruit flavor was mild. Perhaps my palate is too demanding for that 'wow' factor. I also tried the black sesame cheesecake slice (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=iTPW2HiCYJf4zOOkiLvBSg), less attractive, but my favorite of the two. Unlike the other one, the flavors here were bold and defined and I really enjoyed the crust that they paired with the cake. I will get this again. Thank you, Courtney, for describing the different flavors and sharing the background of your company. As I am watching my sweets, I am pacing myself in stopping here. I will try the Salted Caramel cheesecake next time I stop by and perhaps get another black sesame.

    Looking good!!

    Salmon Lox Cheesecake? That's something new this year! Might buy and bite next time. Just had to buy the Black Sesame Cheesecake instead! One of the specials before the seasonal changes. I should never forget to check on a one-man service where the atmosphere inside the Ferry Building was amazing as ever. Nash Bakes was as good as Cheesequakes!

    Candy Cap Mushroom with Cashew cheesecake / Cookies and Cream cheesecake
    Roro S.

    My daughter and I were craving something sweet after eating burgers nearby. Saw this cute little stand selling whole cheesecakes and cheesecake slices. $8 for a slice of cheesecake is pretty pricey especially for the size of it but I was intrigued by the flavor options. I ended up grabbing the Candy Cap Mushroom with cashew slice and the cookies and cream slice because I mean... you can't go wrong with cookies and cream? Ate these when I got home and I was intrigued shock how good each slice was! I have to say the Candy Cap Mushroom with Cashew was my favorite. I didn't know exactly what to expect flavor wise but I guess you can say it tastes like maple syrup??? Anyways it was really good and I would definitely come back to this stand to try the other flavors they have next time! I still think $8 a slice for a tiny slice is a bit much but like I said, I would come back again still to try the other flavors.

    Perfect cheesecake

    The first time I came here, I was underwhelmed. It seemed like another overrated joint (one of so…read moremany, am I right?). I could see the balloon that held all of the anticipated excitement my husband had of showing me a "new" spot (it was new to me) all but heartbreakingly deflate. Sigh. Not wanting that crestfallen look to prevail, I told him we'd try again. A hole in the wall that is takeout only, the customarily drab sunset weather doesn't do the vibe any favors out here. When it's overcast & cold outside, does anyone want cold pineapple buns to go with it? That was my first experience, so I was curious about how the do over was going to go. Night & day... Yelpess with the mostess Cherylynn was spot on when she said the buns need to be warm & eaten asap. This is key to experiencing a stellar treat over a humdrum one. On our 2nd visit they were hot. They were pillowy. They were divine. Gloomy sunset weather? It could be RAINING outside & I wouldn't care right now. It was a total 180. Butter. Do it! I suggest you go for the gold, kerrygold Irish butter. Matcha. I love matcha so it's an automatic order but it's a definite winner. Not too sweet, because matcha isn't naturally sweet. Custard. Hubby's favorite. He's a vanilla head, so... Salted egg yolk. Hubby's other favorite. I like, he loves. Ube. WOW. Better than the matcha which is weird coming from me. The Ube filling BAKES INTO the interior & it is amazing! I wished I'd gotten 6 of these. The puffs. How friggin adorable. Just throw in 6 puffs. Or 18. Then dip them in the side of custard that comes with. If you get extra to take home (& you should), all you have to do is be sure to reheat them as per the directions on the box. Just place them on a baking sheet lined with foil, or an oven rack (I've done both, both work), at 325 for around 10 minutes. I think 12-15 minutes is actually ideal. I couldn't believe how soft they were after this. Like new! The next day, after being refrigerated all night! I know weird, but fact! A couple of days later I requested that we go again next Saturday. Like when you were a kid & you couldn't wait for Friday because Friday's were pizza night. That crestfallen look my husband had was replaced with delighted satisfaction. Glee even. We went again the following Saturday. 5 stars

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!

    Before our leisurely drive to San Francisco, I had coordinated with my cousin that I wanted to see…read moreher, her brother my other cousin, their Mom my Auntie, and both of their families. Lovingly, they arranged for us to meet up for dinner Friday night. We had discussed with my cousins before visiting them that my wife wanted to check out two renowned bakeries in the Bay Area, Tartine and Arizmendi. My cousin and her husband graciously and kindly offered to drive us around downtown San Francisco Saturday morning to visit these bakeries and we had such a great time on our personalized Bay Area foodie tour narrated by my well-informed cousin-in-law (CIL). Our first stop on this belly stuffing foodie tour was Tartine, which served one of the yummiest almond croissants I've ever eaten. That pastry alone warrants a visit to this highly rated and highly reviewed bakery. Since our CIL was in the know about The City's downtown eateries and bakeries, he recommended that we start out early to visit Tartine because he said that lines to these places could get crazy long. Thankfully for us, we got to Tartine before it opened and were second in line to enter. Tartine is a well chronicled bakery with locations around the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Seoul, Korea. The location we visited is on Guerrero and 18th streets in the Mission District and it's across from Pay And Save Grocery. Parking might be challenging with street and metered parking. As soon as you enter the bakery, there's a hipster and local mom and pop business vibe. You're greeted by glass cases displaying beautiful cakes, pastries, breads, loaves, scones, and cookies. There are stool seats and elevated chairs where you can eat on planks of wood either facing the steady flow of customers or looking outside. I liked how there were paintings hanging from what appeared to be from local artists. The staff were friendly and took care of us pretty quickly. Tartine was our first stop in what would be a fun foodie adventure. Since I always start my day with a cup of coffee, I ordered caramel cappuccino. The foam on top had a beautifully designed heart from the barista, but I like my coffee sweet and after my first sip, I knew I had to add some type of sweetener. I used a lot of their complimentary honey to make it sweeter. My wife, who works in the baking industry, had placed Tartine on her list of places she wanted to visit to experience their scones and pastries. If my wife knew about this bakery, then I knew that I'd be indulging in baked goods of the highest caliber. Of course I let my wife pick what she thought were the best items, but I asked the customer who was the first person in line what Tartine was known for and she said their almond croissants, so when it was our turn to make our selections, I asked for Tartine's Frangipane Croissant, which has almond-cream filling and brandy. Brandy?!!?? Honestly, I don't remember tasting any brandy, but what I do remember was flakiness of the croissant, the thick cut almonds on top, the heartiness of the croissant, and the generous amount of almond-cream filling. It was a beautiful looking pastry and the taste was even better. Seriously, one of the most memorable croissants I've ever eaten. My family and I are blessed to have family willing to take time out of their morning to take us on a guided foodie tour to some iconic bakeries and local eateries. Our first bakery stop was Tartine and after eating that delectable almond croissant, the other bakeries would be hard pressed to beat them.

My favorites are the cheese roll, the chocolate thing and the almond cookie. All of the treats have the perfect balance of sweet and savory. And, they have stuff for breakfast, lunch and maybe even dinner. The customer service is great too. All of the cashers at the front are patient and kind to me when I give bills. They all ask how the day is going, and one gave me $2 off! The bakery is well decorated from the inside and out. They're tiny details like the cute, hand drawn 'Dog Parking' sign, the banners and drawings from other kids, and all of the carefully arranged baked goods. I think that Arizmendi is a part of my life that I will miss as an adult. I hope you enjoy their service as much as I do.

    When my wife and I started planning our leisurely drive to San Francisco, we intended to visit two…read morebakeries, Tartine and Arizmendi, with the goal of purchasing scones and other pastries/desserts. Our cousins were familiar with both bakeries and graciously volunteered to be our foodie guides as we drove to these two bakeries Saturday morning. After visiting Tartine and B Patisserie, Arizmendi was our final bakery and our last stop on our Bay Area foodie tour. Just like the other two bakeries, Arizmendi was a popular destination, it was different than the other two in the selection of the pastries, and I highly recommend their corn cranberry scone and their cheese focaccia. Arizmendi is also located in the Mission District specifically on Valenica and 24th Street. The bakery is in between a Royal gas station and the KitTea Cat Lounge. Parking consists of street parking and just like the other bakeries, parking could be challenging, but Arizmendi is worth the trouble parking and walking to this confectionary paradise. This bakery is a business where their baked goods are enjoyed at home since there is minimal seating. What's unique about this bakery compared to the other two is how the baked goodies are selected. It is self serve where it's a little hectic trying to maneuver around other customers to pick the pastries and breads you desire. The young black lady behind the register who checked us out was courteous, friendly, and took care of us quickly. As you enter Arizmendi, there are four wooden display cases with plexiglass holding scones, cinnamon rolls, muffins, pies, croissants, focaccia, cookies, and shortbreads. As you peer through the plexiglass to decide what to select, make sure to grab the provided wax to pick up your baked goods and place them in the provided bags. One of our friends asked us to grab scones, so scones were one of the items we knew we were going to purchase. My wife selected other items, but I asked her for a focaccia because my cousin said that Arizmendi was know for their pizza breads. I highly recommend you purchase their corn cranberry scones. These scones are hearty, the cranberry is plentiful, and I really enjoyed these while I was drinking a coffee at home. The focaccia I picked was a cheese focaccia made with poblanos, kale, and queso fresco. That square pizza bread was a savory revelation where I devoured that as snack after heating it in our home toaster oven. It was cheesy, the poblanos and kale were tasty, and I completely agreed with my cousin's assessment about their pizza bread. We're so grateful to our cousins for taking valuable time to serve as our foodie tour guides during our trip to San Francisco. Bay Area denizens are blessed to have three bakeries where they can satisfy their pastry, dessert, and bread cravings. We're fans of Arizmendi's scones and pizza bread.

Items are limited in quantity, so go early. The mushroom green onion tart is delish! It has a generous amount of mushrooms, manchego cheese, and light green onions. It's a lovely flavor profile. The only downside is that it's not given to you heated. Eating it cold was not optimal. The banana "tart" because I don't recall the exact name, is to die for! It's sweet, it's sooo good! It's like banana crack. It has caramelized parts to it, and you won't want to share it!! The double backed pistachio/blackberry croissant is a food group all its own.
