    Earl Grey Tea Mille Crepe Cake
    Rita W.

    I've actually never been to Sweet Glory's storefront, but have enjoyed many of their crepe cakes from amazing people bringing them over for family events. Sweet Glory's cakes are beautiful, not too sweet, super tasty, and tastes as what it says. They have the standard crepe cake flavors, and some others such as Durian. I didn't think I'd enjoy Durian based on my experience with the actual fruit, but the cake itself was pretty tasty after getting over the scent. I loved their earl gray crepe cake. Nicely textured cream and perfect consistent thin crepes. Their matcha one was really good as well. Whenever someone brings a cake from Sweet Glory, I just instantly light up as I know it'll be so so goood. Not cheap, but it's a well built and tasty crepe cake, so don't expect that to be cheap. :)

    Pickup order for crepe cake slices to take back home. Many Asian inspired flavors which we love. - tiramisu mille crepe cake - passion fruit mille crepe cake - pandan coconut mille crepe cake - japanese sesame basque burnt cheesecake - hazelnut chocolate mille crepe cake Favorites includes the passion fruit mille cake and the black sesame burnt cheesecake. Passionfruit had a bright flavor that made it feel "lighter" as a dessert. The layers on all the cakes were very discernable, especially texturally. The taste of each cake was very fresh and abundant, being true to the flavor.

    best crepe cakes in sf imho! Wide variety of flavors (including Asian inspired ones), def worth a try!

    Tiramisu
    Carolina R.

    I was a little confused on the menu. The drinks were very good. The tiramisu was good as well. I feel like the service could have been better. They weren't very friendly or helpful. The shop itself was very clean and well kept. We definitely liked our drinks. The Matcha was my favorite. I will definitely try this place again.

    Sweet Glory has a wide variety of specialty mille crepe cakes and basque cheesecakes. I've tried a handful of flavors and enjoyed all of them. My favorites are the Pandan Coconut, Japanese Sesame, and Ube. The crepe cakes are really fluffy, and the basque cheesecakes are quite dense and filling. The workers are very kind and welcoming and bring your orders out pretty quickly. The seating area is really cute, and you are able to sit outside as well (the ambiance is great, but I wouldn't recommend sitting outside during a cold day). I really love this spot and I'm excited to continue to try more flavors!

    We stopped by after dinner at a nearby restaurant because I've been wanting to try one of these crepe cakes. We bought 2 of them to go at $12 each. They put them in really cute boxes. The cafe is clean and bright and staff was friendly. We thought about dining in but the one available table was dirty and no one had wiped down the food stains, so we decided to take the desserts home. I thought the hazelnut chocolate was OK. The nuts were not fresh and crunchy. I liked the tiramisu much better but it's not in anyway better than a real tiramisu cake. It was interesting to eating thin layers of pancakes nicely frosted with cream. It is obviously a labor of love to make. There's a lot of different flavors but I'm on the fence about trying another one.

    Expensive, but cute and tasty pastry shop and cafe. They have tons of fun Asian flavors of crepe cake and basque cheese cake. They also have a fun salted egg yolk latte which I thought was very tasty. I tried the roasted corn cheesecake which I really enjoyed! Good texture and thought the corn flavor paired very well. One drink and one slice of cake came to $20 so it's not cheap! But a fun treat

    Pricey for a cake but worth it for the vibes, ambiance, instagram reels etc. I got the Ube crepe cake which was delicious, not too sweet and yum. Got the Pandan cream for my sister which she really enjoyed. The cakes are presented in a beautiful way with very attentive waiters and waitresses. I was in and out in 10 minutes. The back area looks like a vibe to sit in and talk too. Will be back on a special occasion, $26 for two slices is very steep.

    Sweet Glory on Inner Sunset is a dessert café that specializes in crepe cakes, Asian-inspired desserts, and tea-based drinks. We walked into a cozy and relaxed space with a cute interior and a surprisingly nice back patio area that makes it feel like a hidden escape from the busier streets outside. The layout is comfortable and inviting, with plenty of seating that works well for catching up with friends, taking a break, or spending some time with a drink and dessert. The patio is probably the best place to sit when the weather is nice, offering a quieter, more open feel than the main indoor area. The main highlight is the crepe cakes. We ordered a few slices and found the layers thin, delicate, and stacked with enough cream to make each bite feel rich without being too heavy. The variety of flavors is where Sweet Glory stands out, with options like matcha, ube, pandan, earl grey, durian, and tiramisu giving the menu a more unique direction compared to traditional cake shops. The matcha crepe cake had a clean, earthy flavor that balanced well with the cream, and the ube version offered a sweeter, more dessert-forward profile. The Asian-inspired flavors are what make the café feel distinct, especially for anyone looking for desserts that feel familiar but still creative. The drinks are also worth pairing with the cakes. We tried a matcha latte and a hojicha tea, both of which complemented the desserts well and felt thoughtfully prepared. The matcha was smooth and balanced, and the hojicha had a deep, roasted flavor that paired naturally with the sweeter crepe cakes. The menu has enough variety for both coffee and tea drinkers, and the combination of a slice of crepe cake with a warm tea or iced drink makes the experience feel more like a café visit rather than just a dessert stop. Service is straightforward with counter ordering, and the overall vibe feels casual and welcoming. The staff are friendly and patient, and the pace of the visit stays relaxed even when the café gets busy. The space has good music and a comfortable layout that works well for relaxing or getting some work done, and the back patio adds another layer to the experience that makes the visit feel more complete. Sweet Glory is a great dessert café for anyone who enjoys creative cakes and a calm café setting. The variety of flavors, quality of the crepe cakes, and hidden patio make it a spot worth visiting, especially when you want something more unique than a standard bakery dessert. The balance of a well-curated menu, a comfortable environment, and a peaceful outdoor space makes it a place that rewards lingering and returning to try different flavors.

    If you love cute, calm, aesthetic cafes, this is the perfect place! My partner and I came here after dinner nearby for a small dessert. There was a large selection of crepe cake slices to choose from - almost couldn't decide which one, they all looked so good. We went with the matcha red bean option. We sat at the table near the shop front, in front of the window (which is kind of a fun spot - we felt like we were part of the shop display because pedestrians kept walking by and looking at our food lol). The matcha cake was yummy - not too sweet and had a great balance of cream and cake. I would get it again, and also try one of their other many flavors. Would definitely recommend!

    Pandan Coconut Mille Crepe Cake; Japanese Sesame Basque Cheesecake
    Lisa X.

    Oh my goodness! So good. This has become one of our favorite dessert places. Their basque cheesecakes are amazing. Light, creamy and not too sweet. Their Millie Cakes are really good, too. Can't go wrong with any flavor, it's just hard to pick one favorites. The service is friendly. The place is clean and decorated beautifully. Also very comfy. They have these paper puzzles, crossword sheets for adults. Fun to do while enjoying their treats and drinks. If you do take out, they box your treats in beautiful boxes that are gift-giving ready. Located on 9th Ave and Irving.

    Stumbled into Sweet Glory while craving a treat and was truly blown away. There are tons of flavor choices. They offer crepe-style cakes and cheesecakes that are absolutely to die for, all with beautiful presentation. With so many options, you're guaranteed to find something you love. You order at the front and then seat yourself. The space is pretty large, with an extra-large room in the back. I also loved the Christmas décor! Very cozy and festive :) I ordered the Earl Grey and the Biscoff cookie crepe cakes. Both were great, but the Biscoff was AMAZING. I can't wait to come back and try more.

    Hailey L.

    Cafe that's now one bookmarked in my mind for SEATING, AESTHETIC INTERIOR, GOOD DRINKS + SWEET CAKE BITE I have tried the HOJICHA LATTE (good, simple, clear flavor!) THAI TEA (not too sweet which is a huge plus!) MATCHA HONEY EINSPANNER (good creaminess and flavor, couldn't taste a honey flavor though) and PASSIONFRUIT REFRESHER (not too sweet and refreshing pick-me-up!) There are lots of seating options in the back area and an extra patio further back with a few more seats!! More reliable to trust that you'll get a seat on your own or up to a group of 3-4 parking is wayyyy difficult in this area on the weekends and especially at nights. There is a nearby lot though right on the block if you get lucky! Meters are M-Sat daytime I also found out the inconvenient way that Fridays and the weekends they ask not to have laptops and tablets out, so studying or getting work done online is not an option here. Will come back and try the cakes at some point!!

    This is my favorite cake shop in the area and should be the bar for cakes everywhere…read more The buttercream on the cake is the best. It's soooooooooooooooo smooth and buttery. I would eat the cream by itself if they sold it that way. Good thing I don't live nearby. I saw one review say that some of their chocolate flavor or cookie flavors weren't as good, which I understand. I had a cookie cake and didn't taste the smooth, buttery taste I was looking for. I highly recommend cakes that let their vanilla frosting shine without mixing too many flavors. Flavors: - Raspberry & lychee was amazing - Key lime was a little too tart for my tastes, but I still loved the buttercream - Cookie was just ok

    How dare I give 4 stars, when it tastes like a 5 star cake! This is a PREMIUM cake, don't waste…read morethis on your 2 year old's birthday who won't appreciate the artistry!! Very modern industrial, no seats, pickup only. Everyone was very nice as I pretended to fit in as someone who could splurge on $50 (4-6 little servings) worth of cake. I only got a taste of this cake from a friend of a friend's birthday cake leftovers. The chocolate dulce de leche one I initially tried was divine, but not available when I went in the afternoon a week later, so I settled on the lemon one, not bad. The buttercream was the best i've EVER had, and that's a big statement. These cakes are definitely designed for someone of a different income bracket than me, but if you want to treat yourself to a LUXURY slice of cake, ride your squeaky bike or cybertruck over to the Dogpatch (still a trip how upscale it's become the last 20 years) and feel like you're Marie Antoinette without a care in the world!

    I absolutely love this place. I am lucky enough to live within walking distance and have been here…read morethree times in the last few months. This most recent time I arrived just before opening and waited about an hour and a half for my delicious strawberry roll. If I had got there earlier, I think the line would've been only about 20 to 30 minutes so if you are an early bird they allow you to line up anytime after around 7:45 AM. I listened to a new album and great podcast while I was in line, it can be a great solo activity and makes the wait go by fast! I also enjoy talking to the people around me about whether or not they've been here yet and hearing what their favorite items are or what they're excited to try. This time I met someone who had brought their family member all the way from Mexico to try! I think a lot of the people who are frustrated don't understand that there will be a wait. The owner has explained on her Instagram that the reason they cannot simply bake more is because they are not baking pastries that are designed for bulk creation. They are all handmade small batch goods that simply cannot be made in large quantities. I think when you go into it understanding that it's going to be an experience that more often than not comes with a wait time it is much more enjoyable. I did see some teenagers show up with their parents who immediately seemed like they did not want to get in the line. The thing about lines though is that typically if there is a consistent line somewhere that means it's good! I really admire the parents that did wait with their kids because it is worth it! We all need a little bit of whimsy in our life and these goods and the wonderfully magical people who work there make my day a little brighter each time I go in. The shop itself is decorated so well, you can tell that the cookbooks and tools are not just props on the shelf. They are actually used. There are also a couple glittery surprises that I will leave for you to find out... I cannot recommend this little bakery enough. If you are in San Francisco, even just for a day, add it to the top of your list and start your day with a treat you won't be able to find anywhere else.

    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.

    This was the one place I wanted to visit while in SF. It was amazing, but there is so much hype it…read morewas hard to temper my expectations!!! There are three Arsicault locations, but this is the original, opened in 2015 (or so the internet told me). Our hotel was closer to the Tenderloin location, but that area wad sketchy. The line was 15 people long, but moved incredibly fast. The menu is on the front glass window (no prices,). Once you enter, you can see the pastries and corresponding prices. Unfortunately, you enter when it's your time to order, pay grab your food, and then leave. We went twice and our whole interaction was less than a minute per trip!!! We had many things and there were only winners. If you don't want to spend $60 like we did, here are my thoughts on what we tried. Croissants: the almond was the winner by a long shot!!! I liked the ham and cheese, but only if you need a savory option. Chocolate chip croissants are not my favorite, but my daughter ate the whole thing and loved it. The almond chocolate chip had too much going on and it's the only one I would not recommend. The kouign amann is delicious and worth getting. The morning bun is good, but only if you want a bit of citrus flavor (orange zest). The monkey bread was good, but after all the other pastries, it didn't stand out. It seemed similar to the kouign amman in retrospect and I'd need another side by side to really sort out the differences. The chocolate chip cookie is delicious, but beware that it is salted. My son wasn't a fan, but the rest of us liked it. A bonus if you go the Richmond Ariscault -- it's next door to Breck's, a great coffee shop that has seating. Looks like most Arsicault customers grabbed their pastries and went next door to get coffee and sit down. We followed suit and it was a perfect pairing. After our pastries, we went to Golden Gate to walk off the meal. An epic morning!!!

    Excellent croissants and pastries at Arsicault. There's usually a line but it generally moves…read morequickly. The storefront is small so you pretty much walk inside to tell them what you want, pay, and get your pastries to go. No place to sit; only drip coffee offered. The croissants are crunchy on the outside and flaky on the inside. One of the best croissants in San Francisco. They don't offer a huge selection of pastries but the more popular ones are the croissants and Kouign Amann. With the croissants they offer a number of variations including almond, chocolate, ham and cheese. They also sell scones but I would stick with the croissants in my opinion.
