    Pao de Queijo and Coxinha
    Andrea G.

    I stopped by for Brazilian pastries and realized that there is now a name change. Sunstream Coffee is now Padoca Cafe. I ordered the traditional pao de queijo, which is a giant cheesy bread and a coxinha, which is a teardrop croquette filled with shredded chicken and cheese. Both were delicious. The pao de queijo was crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The coxinha was huge and also filled with a ton of chicken and cheese. Super filling. The cafe is small so there only two tables for sitting. It's definitely more for to go. Service was quick. I would definitely come back again to try more of the pastries and maybe their acai bowl!

    I think they didn't rebranding cause the name was different but wow such yummy pastries. I was not familiar with some of these like the coxinha and the powdered milk ball. But both were delicious. I would definitely come again to try more and their acai looked good as well. Service is fast and friendly. It's close by trader joe's and target as well.

    We swung by this morning and got super lucky! A nice parking spot right in front of the door, and food that seriously blew us away. Coming from LA, Porto's is the name of the game, but this Brazilian storefront was next level homemade and delicious. I seriously wish we had a place like this available back home. The cashier was super sweet and patient with us as we perused all the options; we finally settled on the following: 1) Risolis - Beef & Corn 2) Risolis - Ham & Cheese 3) Pão de Queijo (Cheese Bread) 4) Pamonha Assada 5) Coxinha I've been off chicken for a while (pregnancy life), but everything else was stunning. The beef & corn risolis was a larger next level potato ball--you could taste how fresh the ingredients were and the spices used were perfection. The ham & cheese risolis was next level decadent--as someone lactose intolerant, I'd risk it all for this one (multiple times). The cheese bread was exactly what we thought it would be; it had that perfect spring as it puffed back into shape after the first bite. Dog dad loved the coxinha, and the pamonha assada was the perfect way to round off our gluttony in a parking lot. The inside of the store is cozy and cute--2 tables available for those looking to hunker down. We were on the move today, so we ate everything in a parking lot after getting gas. Definitely a place you should swing by--I know I'll be thinking about their treats even when we get home.

    The most incredible Brazilian pastries and service, and some great coffee too. The coxinha is like nothing else, and their risoles are so good.

    A coffee shop with unique pastry items both sweet & savory. Parking isn't difficult in the mornings and if you're willing to walk a block or two, anytime is a great time. The staff is friendly and ready to help make recommendations. There are 2 tables inside. My favorite was the coconut & cheese bread.

    Empada de frango
    Elaine W.

    Delicious authentic Brazilian pastries! This seems to be the place where all the local Brazilians come to get coffee and pastries. I tried many of their pastries including their coxinha, rissoles, and empada de frango. Only downside is that they have recently raised their prices. Overall great service and experience.

    Roughly one year ago, I was in Sao Paolo, Brazil for work. I wanted to remember what it was like in the before times (pre-COVID) so I searched Yelp for "Pao de Queijo" and found Sunstream Coffee. Off I went! Reasonably-priced coffee and Brazilian goods like Pao de Queijo (cheese bread), coxinhas (fried dough wrapped around shredded chicken), acai bowls, and more! The Pao de Queijo was the highlight when compared to the mocha which was just okay.

    I had just got back from Brazil and was craving an açaí bowl. Glad when I walked in they were speaking Portuguese. Picked myself up an açaí bowl to go. I was pleasantly surprised that the bowl was large. All the toppings were perfect. Have come back for more bowls!

    Outstanding small business, deserves our support, been coming here for years. The acais are very good especially a hot SF day like today.

    Coxinha x Coconut Bread x  Pao de queijo recheado
    Deneb T.

    I come here on my walk to work in the morning and their pastries always fills me up! Friendly workers, greets you whenever you come in and are helpful if you're not sure what to get. I've tried their Coxincha, Esfiha de Frango com Palmito and Coconut Bread, all are great! I usually get the Coxincha more often than the others. Would definitely be back to try the rest of their pastries and drinks, perhaps. Best to come in the mornings or before the afternoon since they do run out by then. So come early!

    Plastic CHUNKS in ONE BITE
    Andy K.

    Holy crap, this place is dangerous. I asked for an Acai bowl, he blended the spoon in the bowl. I also found tons of massive plastic chunks from the blender press. I still have them on my desk. When I complained, he never said sorry, he said it's fine and he'll make a new one. I asked for a refund and he took back the re-made acai, and he re-funded me the pre-taxed cost. WTF This place is sketch as hell. Never coming back to this sh!t-show.

    Their Coxinha...filling is chicken, cream cheese, and olives
    Emy B.

    03-15-18 I am extremely happy Sunstream is still a staple in the neighborhood. Today I tried their white cherry juice which was blended cherries, water, and ice. So good! I also went in for the chicken and cream cheese filled potato balls which are big, crispy, and hot. Parking can be a bit difficult, but so worth it. I love their small renovated space too. .......... No longer will I worry about wanting to go to Porto's for some potato balls...delicious big ones right in the city! Will plan on ordering some for future parties, thanks to you Sunstream!

    Arsicault Bakery - Richmond District, San Francisco (94118)…read more This small, charming bakery is absolutely worth the visit! Yes, there's almost always a line, but don't let that discourage you--the staff keeps it moving quickly, making the wait fast and efficient. The pastries are incredibly delicious. Their giant croissants are buttery, with soft, airy layers on the inside and a perfectly crispy, flaky exterior. Every bite is heavenly! My personal favorite is the cranberry scone. It's tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. For the best experience, enjoy your pastries while they're still warm--they taste even better fresh out of the oven. Payment is easy since they accept both credit cards and cash. If you're a pastry lover, Arsicault Bakery is definitely a must-visit in San Francisco. We highly recommend it!

I came by on a Friday around 11 am and it was so hard to find parking. There's street parking available but it was all filled up and I ended up getting dropped off since I saw the line forming outside the bakery. The line was only formed because the bakery is relatively small and doesn't have a lot of wiggle room so they only let in one party at a time. There aren't any sit-down tables or chairs so this is a grab and enjoy somewhere else. Pastry: Kouign-amann (8.4/10): Oh this was yummy. I love a good kouign amann and Arsicault satisfied my sweet tooth. It was a little too sweet but had a good outer layer crunch and fluffy interior. Chocolate Almond Croissant (7.8/10): This one was amazing! I will say that this one is definitely on the sweeter side but it was still delicious. It's a pretty big croissant with a good crunch but not a lot of flaking :( I did really enjoy the almond paste that was smothered on the inside. My boyfriend really enjoyed this croissant and wouldn't stop talking about it for a few hours.

    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.

The chocolate chip cookie had crisp edges, a soft center, and plenty of rich chocolate without being overly sweet with the salt touch.

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.
