Absolutely amazing dessert in the Mission area. Ordered the Hibiscus panna cotta - right amount of sweetness so it doesn't overpower the natural smell of the edible hibiscus flower Netflix & Chill gelato: my friend got it and she loves crispy chocolate layer read more

Sixth Course - Desserts Near Me - San Francisco, California

This cute little brick-and-mortar boutique sweets shop in an out of the way part of the Mission is a chocolate confection lover's paradise. It is clean, dainty and elegant presenting a roster of handmade confections includes a variety of truffles. My favorites: Hazelnut Praline Coconut Rum Smoked Salt Caramel Bourbon Maple Grand Marnier Twist Bailey's & Cream Along with creations like chocolate-coated ice cream popsicles cute little sticks of chocolate and gelato heaven. My favorites ~ Mexican Hot Chocolate, Almond Toffee Crunch Gelato Bar, & Coffee Gelato Bar. The mimosa semifreddo was light and refreshing with crackle pop candy on top, my favorite one yet. The Caramel Hazelnut semifreddos with house-made gelato was close to perfection as well. Had to try the cakes too ~ November Cake and Peppered Black Forest Cake were treats that were so light and had the right amount of sweetness. Such a great addition to the neighborhood. A little pricey but so worth it with them using the best ingredients and all these sweet creations created with such artistry!!! Love it will keep coming back for more! read more

I'm going to start out by letting everyone know this dessert shop has super expensive and small portions - but it's the best fine dessert in the city, or that I've tried so far - and extremely worth it to try at least once. Also plus points for a creative name - my belly always has room for dessert whether its the first course or the billionth course. Sixth Course is a small storefront located in the Mission, which also means extremely hard to find parking at certain times of day. We came close to closing (maybe 30 minutes before) and there were still a ton of options left to choose from. I would recommend taking bart since the 16th st bart station is just a block away. There are least 3 tables for people to enjoy their dessert after they buy. I wanted to try everything here but we walked away with pistachio gelato, mango chili lime gelato bar (delicious, made me feel like I was in Asia with the tanginess but spice kick), and a tiramisu. All their desserts come perfectly wrapped and made with high quality ingredients. Next time I am definitely trying their truffles! read more

Sixth Course - Cutest tiramisu - Desserts Near Me - San Francisco, California

SWEET TREAT 6th course can be 7th, 8th, and 9th for all I care. Always craving ice cream or dessert or something sweet. Even if means dessert before dinner. The shop is tiny but very cute. Nowhere really to sit except for the three bar stools towards the back. One glass case features all the Gelato on a stick, another features other patisseries, and another features all the chocolates. They all look worthy to try. After first visit here I have become a fan!!! OFW PANNA COTTA - orange flower water infused panna cotta, satsuma mandarin Gelee, and candid kumquats. Pretty presentation. Served in a mini jar with a wooden spoon tied to the side, it was convenient (and Eco-friendly). This was yummy but not the best panna cotta I've had. The mandarin flavor popped more than the vanilla bean in their panna cotta mix. The candid kumquats were great garnishes to decorate the dish and yummy to eat. Didn't care too much got the gelee, it was basically a jello layer in the middle of the panna cotta. Recommend. CARAMEL POPCORN - popcorn infused gelato, Caramelia chocolate. "Gelato on a stick". What a great idea!!! Ohmy ohmy Ohmy. The outer caramel/chocolate shell holds in the creamy smooth gelato. Every bite into the shell crumbled in the palette and the gelato fills your palette with creamy goodness. I love popcorn so to have the crunch of the popcorn was a nice texture paired with the texture of the gelato. This "gelatos on a stick" will probably their key seller. HIGHLY recommend. Will I be back? You don't have to ask me twice. See you soon. Until the next review... read more

Excellent baked goodies with the cutest names!! Tucked away in a not so obvious part of SF! Highly recommend!

Cute dessert place full of visually appealing and fun items. $8/slice of their gorgeous cakes and the chocolates are about $2/piece. You can sit and dine but the music tends to be too loud for conversation. Flavors are balanced and portions are reasonable. read more

Been waiting for two months to come here for my birthday. Everything was a beautiful work of art and it was so hard to decide on just one thing. I opted for the most expensive thing which was the Pillow Talk strawberry mousse chiffon cake with berry gel. At $20 each, this stuff had to be bomb right? Even splurged on a mini olive oil gelato bar. Sad to say that neither dessert was worth the whopping price and I was actually really disappointed by how overly sweet the Pillow Talk was. It was very one note--sweet on top of more sweet with little to no textural variation with every bite being soft and mushy all the way through. It was probably the most beautiful piece of dessert that I have ever had but it ended up being much better to look at than eat. The gelato was not bad but the sweet white chocolate shell on the outside overwhelmed the gelato. Maybe if the bars were bigger there would be a better ration of gelato to chocolate shell. Goes without saying I wasn't impressed by this either even though it cost me $5 for a teeny tiny bar. For the price, I can get better tasting and just as beautiful desserts over at Craftsman and Wolves. Probably won't be back again given that I literally didn't want more cake after 3 bites but only made myself finish it because it was so damn expensive. read more

This was one of my stops during my SF dessert tour on my birthday :) SERVICE: Upon arrival we we greeted by one of the co-owners who apparently used to work at b.patisserie! She was really friendly and helped us decided on what to get. SWEETS: They sell decadent cakes, chocolate covered gelato pops and truffles. We ordered 3 cakes ($6 each) and 1 pop. All were heavenly. They were so pretty I didn't want to eat them: not overly sweet or heavy. All the flavors described were there. My favorite of the 3 cakes was the tiramisu - one of the best I've had! AMBIANCE: It is located in a hidden street by mission and parking is not too terrible. There is limited seating inside. The interior is very bright and extremely clean. The place gives off a modern vibe, just like their desserts do. I will be coming back to try their other cakes, whenever I'm in the area! read more

The Sixth Course is Amazing. I've been to a lot of dessert places and this one by far is my favorite. I love how they have their sweets displayed like your at a jewelry store. The truffles are beautiful and they do resemble the beauty of jewels. The pastries and gelato they serve display a lot of finesse. They hit a Homerun with the presentation. But does it taste as good as it taste? Another Homerun there. A couple things that I tried are below *Triple Chocolate Brownie - doesn't look like a brownie, but the mascarpone caught my eye so I know that it would be smooth. The coating on the brownie looks so delicate and this happens to be one of their signature dishes. I would definitely recommend this one, it was love at first bite. The Chocolate was rich and decadent. I prefer my brownies on the harder side but I don't mind that the brownie was on the lighter side. *Hazelnut Gelato - Again, love at first bite. My girlfriend doesn't like chocolate too much, or chocolate overload but this one had here wanting to order multiple gelato bars. The coating on the gelato is crunchy and the gelato itself is rich but isn't over powering. *Butterscotch - Rich, and creamy, I love the added touch of chocolate to give it a nice texture with every bite. It always comes in a cute Jar. Weaving through Yelp to find a dessert place in SF can be difficult because of all the different choices but the Sixth Course is a hidden gem. As everything from the service, ambience, presentation and of course the "Sixth Course" combine for a Grand Slam! read more

beautiful, delicious desserts. a little off the beaten path, so you need to trek here.

Incredible. Sixth Course creates masterpieces of art -- seriously, I'm not exaggerating. You could examine their desserts for ages and then feel your heart break a little as you dig your fork in. Does it taste as good as it looks? Maybe -- that's hard to judge with a product so beautiful, elegant, and intricately crafted. We got their carrot cake and mandarin sorbet. The sorbet was REALLY good and refreshing, and weirdly paired pretty well with the creamy, totally unique carrot cake. I'd say that's definitely worth a regular purchase. The carrot cake was $14 but worth the price for sure. The cream cheese mousse is so, so delectable and nutty and creamy; I'm trying to place what the familiarity of the taste is... but can't figure it out!!! If anyone knows, please enlighten me, I will o u 1. :3 I would love to come back and try their ice cream bars; based on their sorbet, I think they'd be wonderful. I'm also dying to try the Mother Earth confection, but I think that part of me really wants to frame it rather than eat it LOL. Anyway, the location isn't fabulous and is a bit random/out of the way, but I really hope Sixth Course is getting the attention it deserves! It's obvious how much work each creation requires -- and I also love that half (or maybe more?!) of the space is actually dedicated to the kitchen, which you can see through a HUGE window! read more

I was in Mission area and looking for dessert. So I google map and found this small gem. From outside it's just like a regular coffee shop but as you stepped in and see the whole selection of chocolate and dessert... JUST WOW! I was there on June 30th, which it was last day of their spring menu. So I kinda wanted to try everything. From Cakes, chocolate to...Panna cotta. Everything I got as pictures I'm posting with this review... you shall see the delicate pieces of art and details with every single bites... yea edible flowers are yum! Personally I'm a big fan of Laduree (French Luxury Bakery). The closet one is in Los Angeles...so I could simply say that I would be a regular costumer to this place as I'm living in the Bay Area. read more

A bit pricey for some items ($9 cheesecake tart with berries -- price you'd expect at a sit down restaurant), reasonable for others ($5 stone fruit almond panna cotta). $4 cappuccino (super cute latte art!) I would still recommend it based on selection, and it's just cute. The cheesecake tart I had was pretty good. $9 good? No, but this is still a good stop for date night. read more

Still hungry after 5 courses or just want to treat yourself? Sixth Course is a high caliber dessert establishment with an emphasis on aesthetics. You will find extremely beautifully crafted but affluently priced desserts. Each dessert is about 12$. The desserts I've had here are usually light and delicate; the sugar isn't overpowering. The interior is pretty small, and there isn't much of a wait. Gratefully, the place is open fairly late, which makes it a good post-dinner sweet tooth satisfier. I ordered: The apple pie panini - super rich, comfort food Winter igloo cake - very light and delicate, not too sweet, christmas themed. Was a shame to eat because it was so well crafted. read more

Bye far the best dessert I have ever had! It is so intricate and beautiful everything looks like a art piece, and it taste amazing every dessert is so unique, It is a must have if you are in the Bay Area read more

If I lived in the area, this would be the place I came to with a book. Quiet, out of the way, clean, and frankly very cute. Standing there and buying a dessert, I can totally imagine sitting at one of the small tables with with a book or nook, a dessert, and a cup of coffee. I will be the first to admit that this place is pretty pricey. However, just going in to see what they have is like going to jewelry store; there's always something new and pretty and more than likely very tasty. The variety of desserts provided really do seem to be a day-to-day thing, and the kitchen you can see through the window in the back is quite impressive. We saw everything from gelato pops to cakes to chocolates and truffles. Lots and lots of things. Gelato panini (more or less a giant ice cream sandwich), anyone? Reading through each dessert's descriptions,they're really quite adventurous and innovative with their flavors. It's not just limited to western flavors like I initially thought, but actually also uses some Asian flavor combinations as well. There's plenty of unusual, high-end kind of innovative flavor combinations, but there's also a few familiar flavors (orange, mexican hot chocolate, s'mores, caramel, hazelnut, and the like). That's the most important thing, there are actually DIFFERENT FLAVORS. For a dessert place, a lot of it isn't actually strictly sweet and sugary. Even in terms of sweetness, a lot of it was more muted (the use of ube) or fruity (passion fruit and such, so more tart). Note that besides those, I tried a few of the chocolate desserts. Most of it was very rich, and I found I could eat more of them than I usually could in terms of strictly chocolate desserts. My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE was the s'more cup. Holy fuck, I'm pretty sure there was crack in that. Just a smooth combination of homemade whipped marshmallow fluff (and I don't even like marshmallow) with layers of chocolate, all with the light crisp and crunch of burnt sugar bits top layer of caramelized marshmallow. This is followed closely by pretty much any kind of semifreddo made. Don't even care about the flavors chosen, the smooth texture is what's amazing. And coffee. This place provides coffee. I find this very important all by itself. (Water is free and located to the left of the cash register.) I think it's important to note that this place is small (a literal 10-seater). Bathroom is in the back (it's the immediate left from that window in the back), and it's a nice bathroom. There were six people who came in and left by the time we bought our desserts and left, and everyone took their desserts to go. Most people seem to take their stuff to go and we were the only ones to sit down/stand around (no table for four people). On the other hand though, that means it's great for if you're going alone to decompress or just with one other person. Would definitely approve this place for dates. Desserts are all very cute and (if you haven't notice) Instagram-worthy and truffles are also very shiny and look like jewels, so they would definitely make great presents. One concession though is that a lot of these desserts (ex. gelato-related desserts or semifreddo) need to be refrigerated or would easily melt during San Francisco's warmer days. If you're going to take it to go or plan to give it as a present, be sure to ask what does or doesn't last. read more

When you walk into a patisserie shop and the confectioneries are displayed in jewel-like cases you know they are going to be expensive. The only thing is I would expect them to be highly delectable for the price but disappointingly they weren't. The mini cakes were beautifully created but tasted just like ordinary cakes which was difficult not to feel I didn't spend my hard earned money wisely. Of the two cakes "Hey Poppy" and "Strawberry and Pink Peppercorn", I would recommend the "Hey Poppy". The mousse was light and smooth and not overly sweet. The peppercorn was a tad overwhelming on the "strawberry and pink peppercorn" and the spice flavor didn't quite blend well with the delicate ivory mousse. Total for two mini cakes and one mini ice cream bar came to $31, which at this price you can get a 6" cake from a decent bakery. Been there done that, will I return? sadly most likely not. read more

I stopped in yesterday for the first time and I'm so glad I did. I had the pecan dessert and it was amazing.

If I were a chocolatier, I'd work here. Their items are delicate and intricate and almost too pretty to eat.

After salivating over the reviews and photos for a few days, I stopped by this weekend and picked up a couple desserts. 1. Total eclipse of the tart: This was really beautiful, and interesting to eat. But overall I found it a bit difficult to eat because of the firmness of the shortcrust, and the chocolate encasing the passion fruit curd made it overall too sweet for my taste. I'm glad I ordered it, and enjoyed eating it, but wouldn't get it again. 2. Tropic like it's hot: gorgeous, delicious and not too sweet. 3. truffles: really amazing, interesting flavors and they looked like jewels, so beautifully decorated. If I go back it will be to buy the truffles again. read more

Seriously the best dessert place ever! This is now my favorite dessert place. The dessert are so beautifully crafted and delicious. The chefs & staff was so genuinely friendly and sweet!

One of the best and extraordinary dessert in Mission District. Prices are bit expensive but worth trying. I would suggest that a first timer should try it when you are in SF. read more

A small little dessert place in the heart of San Francisco's Mission district. I was extremely excited to try this place, as I had seen a viral video on Facebook. When I arrived this past Friday, around an hour before closing time, the place was full of people and many of the desserts I wanted to try were gone. I did however try some of the desserts that were still available, however I wasn't that impressed. It's definitely over priced for my taste. We had the Summer Bliss dessert, which was basically a refreshing yogurt with berries and crunchy cereal. Then we tried the popular Churro twist, which was my favorite thing. The cold, crunchy inside was the perfect twist to this dessert. We also tried two of the truffle candies, hazelnut praline & coffee and dulce de leche. These truffles were very flavorful and very rich and creamy, but I wouldn't say they're worth $2.25 each. This is one of those spots that is worth trying at least once to experience the desserts and to see what the hype is about. The creativity and work that's put into each dessert is superb, but I feel like it's definitely overpriced. Definitely recommend this place to all dessert lovers! read more

It's been closed both times I've visited during the posted hours. Really frustrating when you're taking a 35 minute ride just to visit the place. In the small time I stood outside the shop I noticed several other confused customers walk up to the door also believing it would be open. read more

I dod a lot of research on the best dessert places in the Bay Area, and this place kept popping up. We had to wait a few days to come here because they were closed for a few days. The wait was worth it! There were several desserts on display in the display case. These were replenished as they ran out. I ended up choosing the smores. It was a great take on smores and included a graham cracker, a piece of chocolate, and marshmallow. I've had similar desserts on this trip, so it must be popular these days. I also ended up buying chocolate for my family and girlfriend. Various box sizes are available. You choose the pieces of chocolate that you want. Some drinks are also served like like chocolate and coffee. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They helped me pick out a candy assortment for my mom and told me about the history of the shop. I didn't get to try any of the chocolates for myself, so that is something I want to do the next time I come here. I'll also try a few more of their desserts. Great place to come for dessert and also to buy chocolates for a loved one! read more

For sure we wanted to grab the mother earth lookin dessert because my girlfriend and I enjoy our raspberry and chocolate desserts,maybe a bit too much. The second choice we grabbed was the s'mores as it was a recommendation by one of the dessert chefs. She was really kind as to explain to us her top recommendations.

Overpriced $14 wanna be desert. Strawberry rhubarb pate de fruits? Because people can't handle rhubarb by itself or is it to make the menu look fancy? Mignardise sized. Yes it is as bland as it looks. Tasteless mousse. pate de fruit tasted like cheap jam. bottom cookie was the usual boring. I would have liked it if i didnt have theeth. If you're a real aficionado you'll realize it's all a bad joke. If you're going to charge premium, offer premium goods. 8 or 9$ is fair for the SF rent. 14$ is just ludicrous.

A great little dessert shop in the Mission that delivers great service and great product. The only major downsides would be that the price is a little steep and there's not a lot of room inside the shop itself to sit and enjoy your desserts. Went here with a couple of friends and the staff was super great about explaining some of the more intricate looking desserts and what the individual components were. Additionally, they asked about our flavor preferences and whether we were looking for a light or more dense dessert and made appropriate recommendations. Many of the pieces here look like pieces of art and are as much fun to look at as they are to eat. Will definitely be taking my more "bougie" friends here in the future. read more

Sixth Course - Gnome Sweet Gnome - Desserts Near Me - San Francisco, California

Perfection in every bite!! Located right across from an elementary school in Mission District, this little confectionary is definitely a hidden gem. I had wanted to try this place out after reading some promising yelp reviews, so it was the last stop after an afternoon in the area. The shop itself is tastefully decorated but doesn't have much in terms of seating space. It makes sense because the desserts offered are artisan and small in size. Whats really nice is that a large glass window allows you to see into the bakery. The two owners of the shop make all the desserts as well as run the shop so you can ask them any questions directly and watch them at work! It is definitely a high end experience, but you get what you pay for. At $14, It Takes Two to Mango was pricey for how small it was... until we took the first bite. 100% worth it. Every dessert looked too good to eat, but I'll definitely be back to try more!! read more

My oh my are the desserts here gorgeous (and a bit on the pricey side). Definitely recommend coming with a group of people so you can split the costs and try more things. I came here with two other friends, each of us choosing a dessert. Everything was almost too pretty to eat, but after the initial bite that destroys the perfection of these beautifully constructed desserts, you feel less bad and are soon left with a cleaned off plate with nothing remaining (but hey, let's be honest, you probably took a ton of pictures of it before you ate it anyway). read more

My sister was having a hankering for desserts so of course I got dragged along (but it wasn't against my own will hehe). Service: The people there are overall very friendly and nice. I like that they provide water for you so you can thoroughly enjoy your dessert. I hate it when I'm eating something sweet and my throat just can't let me enjoy it b/c the sugar makes it all dry. Tropicana Panna Cotta - My sister got this one and I only took two bites to decide that I don't like it. It had some red chili peppers on it and I'm not a fan of mixing spicy and sweet. The panna cotta itself tasted like coconut which I'm not too crazy about either. Mandarin Sobertto - This one tasted like those concentrated orange juice that comes in a tube in the freezer section of Safeway. But don't let that description turn you off! I really liked it since it had a little bitterness to it to balance out the sour and sweetness of the mandarin orange. I thought the portion was nice as well b/c if it was a bigger portion, I would've gotten tired of it. Truffle Chocolate - I got this as a gift for my friend so I don't know what they tasted like. They looked really pretty though and they got some pretty unique flavor. Who moved my cheescake - This one was my favorite. I was expecting the sour-taste that normally comes from cheesecake but it was more creamy and chocolately. The best part was the crust because it tasted like a flatten Ferrero Rocher. Least to say I was scraping every last crumb on the plate. Note: I went here really hoping to get the bear dessert but the pâtissier said it's only available in March. Overall - I would come back if I'm in the area but wouldn't really go out of the way to come here. I feel like the dessert here is good occasionally since they're really rich (and I'm not just talking about the flavor). I can tell that a lot of time and effort has been put into the desserts which justifies the price so definitely an indulgent that you should try :). read more

So many of the reviews are absolutely spot on. Their desserts are almost too pretty to take a bite out of. Bombest desserts I've had in a very long time. Very interesting combinations. Went with a bunch of friends and so ended up ordering a whole bunch of items and every single one of them was fab. We had a guy in our party who's moved to the US a few years back from Italy and he said this was the finest espresso he's had since moving to the US. Surely slightly on the pricey side but mostly worth it. read more
