    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

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.

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.

They offer a variety of baked in house items that range from the savory ( mushroom and cheese "tart") to the sweet of banana croissant invention. EVERYTHING is tasty. 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. It's everything you want in a pastry! The Thai tea was just OK. Super pricey for the amount. It's not that traditional taste profile. The people that work at Neighbor big house are friendly, expedient with service, and this definitely needs to be on your secret places to try when you're visiting SF. It's not that we want to gatekeep, but you are gonna want all these pastries to yourself!
