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

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

The desserts looked beautiful, so I stopped by to pick up a few items. However, I was rather disappointed in the lack of flavor for the desserts. I got the Pear-fect Cake (almond financier cake with poach pears and cardamon whip cream). The cardamon whip cream was delicious, but the rest of the cake seemed like a cheap coffee cake; the cake was so crumbly that it fell apart when I put a fork through it (1 star off). I also got the Churro Gelato Pop, and yes, it tasted like a churro, but I think I prefer a real churro because the fried dough would be nice and crispy. Finally, I got a box of the chocolate bonbons. As beautiful as they look, the taste was mediocre (1 star off). For example, the Salted Peanut Ganache one was like a dressed up Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. I expected the Habanero Passion Fruit Caramel to be somewhat spicy, but it was extremely spicy, too spicy for a bonbon. In contrast, the Raspberry Rose Ganache didn't have much rose flavor. I ended up spending $45 total for the items above. I really wish to have spent it on Costco churros and a bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Cup instead! read more

What a gem! Definitely a little off the beaten path tucked about a block away from Mission St. It's a small store with limited seating but they do their best to accommodate. Service was basically no existent (I wanted a to go box but couldn't find anyone to ask for one...) so definitely ask for everything you need right away. There might not be a second round of ordering! The first thing you see when you walk in is their vast array of truffles! They're all beautiful and they range so much in flavor. Unfortunately I didn't get to try them, but will be back! What I did order was the Strawberry and Pink Peppercorn, mostly because of how pretty it was haha. But it was SO GOOD! I told myself I was only going to eat half but then finished the whole thing... that good. It has ivory mousse, pistachio jaconde cake, strawberry pink peppercorn confit, and they all blended together to give you the perfect bite each time. It's definitely pricey so be prepared! read more

These desserts are really really cute and tasty but the service here was like nonexistent... and I mean really nonexistent... as in there was no one at the counter when I went in. It was super awkward... then I can see people making food in the back and they look at you helplessly while you look at them helplessly and no one can help you. Eventually, someone comes from the back to take your order but they disappear as quickly as they came. Then, you are left wanting another fork which results in more helpless looking at the people in the back. This was seriously my experience. That aside, the desserts were delicious and beautiful. The decorations on the desserts were edible too! I bought a box of truffles home for my bf and he devoured them instantly. I would recommend this place for its desserts. read more

Sixth Course - Desserts Near Me - San Francisco, California

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Came here for dessert after a long day of wandering through San Francisco and a dinner. The second we walked in we realized that it was going to be tough figuring out what we were going to eat. 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. All in all, the experience was the best and we could not expect any better. We are definitely coming back so that we could eventually try everything! 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

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

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
