Wow, this was such an amazing spot. Stopped by for a day in San Francisco before going to Europe…read more Heard all the hype about this spot so I had to drop by. We waited about an hour on a Friday morning. On to the baked goods, it was some of the best bakery goods I've tried ever. Everything was delicious in every way. My favorite had to be the coffee cake, the elote corn, and the Lorraine. Wow, so damn good. I know their menu changes, but it's a must try as their base dough for all their items are PERFECT. Each bite is amazing with such a crunch. Their corn latte was also super delicious.

After hearing all the hype and braving a near 2 HOUR wait in line....sorry, it wasn't quite up to…read morepar for me. There are better bakeries for lower effort. Let's start with the good. The namesake Pistachio Cardamom croissant was excellent for a filled croissant. It had excellent layers and the cream was just enough to add a lusciousness to each bite that wasn't too heavy. The madame lorraine was my other favorite. It was meaty and rich with the soft baked runny yolk and the light touch of rosemary was just enough to accentuate the bite. The not as good...a standard butter croissant. Maybe we got a dud but there was a serious lack of layers in ours and it wasn't as crisp or as buttery as I like. The elote corn croquiche filling was also quite salty which was a shame because the pastry layer was pretty good. I still have two more pastries to try but given the weight and the mixed bag, I definitely expected a lot more from Butter & Crumble. Pro tip: get a butter croissant at Arsicault, walk to B Patisserie and get a kouign amann. You'll have both before the line moves here.

Absolutely yes! We…read morehave very high standards when it comes to pineapple buns. We frequent Hong Kong and miss the classic thick butter tucked into a warm flaky pineapple bun. This place does that and takes it up a notch! They have different flavored butter which was very interesting but it absolutely works! We got the sampler and we devoured all four. Also picked up 8 classics and they were all very good. The bun is light and airy but has a good buttered undertone. And about $2 each for the classic pineapple bun (not butter), they are cheaper than most standard bakeries these days. So good, highly recommend!

Tartine absolutely lives up to its reputation. We tried the chocolate chip cookie, turkey sandwich,…read morefruit tart, and corn salad, and everything felt thoughtfully made with high-quality ingredients! The chocolate chip cookie had crisp edges, a soft center, and plenty of rich chocolate without being overly sweet with the salt touch. The turkey sandwich had soft bread, quality turkey, and the chicken skin is unique and provided a balance would love to try a panini next. The fruit tart was beautiful and incredibly fresh, with perfectly ripe fruit and a light, creamy filling that wasn't too sweet. The corn salad was a pleasant surprise too and maybe a favorite with bright herby bites that complemented the richer bakery items. Everything tasted fresh, and you can tell Tartine focuses on quality rather than overcomplicating dishes. Expect a line, especially during peak hours, but it's worth the wait. Whether you're stopping in for pastries or lunch, it's an iconic San Francisco bakery that's easy to recommend.

Otherwise, it's just banana on a pie crust w/ thin chocolate shell, topped by whipped cream.

The pizza was pretty delicious, especially at $3.50 a slice. Picked a sourdough chocolate croissant too, unfortunately I'm not a fan of the sour dough chocolate croissant. Not very flakey, but has that sourness. There's a small seating outside. Overall, a great place to get baked goods value.

Neighborhood Bakehouse is the kind of neighborhood bakery you'll find yourself coming back to again…read moreand again. I've been here a few times and this time I remembered to take photos of the pastries before digging in! We tried the ube twice-baked croissant, ham and cheese croissant, curry potato bourek, and the spicy chicken pepper sausage croissant. Every pastry was perfectly flaky on the outside while staying soft and buttery on the inside. My favorites were the spicy chicken pepper sausage croissant and the ube twice-baked croissant. The savory pastries were packed with flavor, and the ube croissant struck the perfect balance of sweetness without being overpowering. I also love that they offer unique pastries you don't find at most bakeries. The café itself is small and cozy, and the staff were warm and friendly. It's usually packed, but we arrived at the perfect time and were able to grab everything we wanted before they sold out. We'll definitely be back to try more of their delicious pastries!

Driving to San Francisco can be a pain in the ass. So when my niece offered to take the wheel, I…read morewas thrilled and said, "Heck yeah! Let's go!" Since it had been decades since my last visit to Japantown, she took my daughter and me there for a weekday adventure during our summer break. We started our day at Jina Bakes, as my niece mentioned that there's always a long line when she visits. The pastries looked absolutely delectable, making it tough to decide on just one. I was surprised that many items were already sold out, especially since it was only ten in the morning! Next time, we'll definitely need to arrive even earlier. We decided to get several treats to try, though I can't remember all their names. The only ones I recall are the pastries that had "salt" in their titles, which I really enjoyed. I was initially skeptical about ordering the Honeycomb Toffee Latte, fearing it would be too sweet and thick. However, I'm glad I took the plunge because it turned out to be nice and creamy with the perfect level of sweetness. Overall, I had a lovely breakfast there and would love to return to sample more delicious pastries, as long as my niece is willing to drive me again!

After waiting in a small line at approximately 11am on Saturday 7/25, it was our time to order. The…read moregal (pretty with heavy eye liner, Alt style) seemed busy doing something and was looking at the computer, so we patiently waited for her to be ready to take our order. I heard kind of a grunt, kind of like, you know how Asian people will grunt sometimes instead of speaking (my Japanese grandmother and mother do this, so I picked up on it...)... so when I heard the grunt, I said, "Oh, are you ready to take our order?" And she looked at us and nodded as if we were an inconvenience to her. Aaaahhhh yes.... this is the "Gen Z stare". No common decency of doing business with humans, just her staring at a screen and expecting us to telepathically know she was ready to take our order. Thankfully I have Asian heritage, because my friend would have probably died waiting there for the gal to say something or make eye contact. So we order 5 pastries, a bag of vanilla butter mochi, and 2 drinks which came out to nearly $60, which is fine... but then upon payment to ask for a 20% tip? Um... excuse me? Grunts and stares does not a good tip make, my dears. We left $4 to cover the 2 drinks being made and for the "service". If she had offered us common decency, we would have tipped more. I'm not asking for a fake smile - just to be acknowledged as a customer who is patronizing a business. My friend got the honeycomb toffee latte. While other people got sizeable chunks of honeycomb atop their drink, he got literal dust. He asked if that was the honeycomb, and they confirmed. Wow - they really did hate us! Is it because we only tipped $4? We may never know. The einspander coffee was good. The pastries were overall, good but more like "okay". The hojicha puff filling was runny and literally dumped out of the hole it was piped in to. We sat at a table outside of the shop, so it's not like we traveled with the pastry and it got hot or something. The orange chocolate bun was very good. I am not familiar with Korean, so please forgive me... but the croissant square with mochi and kinako could have been good, but the kinako cemented to the roof of my mouth when I would take a bite. Then when I folded it so the cementing wouldn't happen, the flavor was just lost. I thought the chewy mochi with the crunchy pastry would be great, but it wasn't. I absolutely adore kinako, but it just didn't work. I'll stick to regular omochi with kinako. We got the two Korean beef pastries - the croissant version and the bun version. The bun was great even though the filling was skimpy. The croissant pastry was okay, but the bun was better. Would I come back? Probably not, to be honest.
