This bakery has a vast amount of options. The katsu sandwich is a must try. Very friendly staff!

pork bun
Marina F.

my favorite bakery on taraval, the pork buns are to die for and the staff is always super friendly. Moved here 8 months ago and it's one of my most frequented spots. great for an early morning grab and go when you're heading for work or on a walk.

Irish Bread....already half gone lol
Jamie S.

My experience here was sooo great. From the moment I walked in I was treated so well. The customer service here is beyond amazing. I came in looking only for Irish bread but left with a bag full of other pastries. I tried their potato bread, beef rolls, and pork rolls. It allllll tasted so good. We ate up literally everything I bought within two days. This was the best Irish Bread I've ever had. It was full of yummy raisins and tasted soooo delightful when toasted a bit with butter. For anyone looking for Irish Bread please stop here. It will now be my go to for it!

Best chicken sandwich
Malia S.

I've officially been banned from every dating app known to mankind -- Hinge, Tinder, Bumble, all of them. But honestly? You don't need dating platforms when you have Yelp. Because Yelp, not Cupid, helped me find love in a truly hopeless place: Sweet Passion Bakery. This Asian/Irish fusion bakery really does bring the best of both worlds straight to your taste buds. Small and humble inside they have a large variety of goods to choose from. Sadly, some of the pastries I wanted weren't available since their Irish baker was off that day (respectfully, please come back, sir). I ended up grabbing the Chicken Katsu Sandwich, two Spam & egg buns, and a Vietnamese iced coffee. The bread here is ridiculously fresh -- soft, slightly sweet, and perfect with anything savory. The Spam & egg bun was the ideal grab-and-go snack, and the furikake added the perfect extra hit of umami. The Vietnamese iced coffee? Cold, refreshing, and packed with a deep, bold flavor. But the star of the show... the Chicken Katsu Sandwich. Hands down the best I've ever had in my life. The bread was toasted to absolute perfection, and the chicken was so crispy outside yet so tender inside it practically melted in my mouth. Plus, the spicy mayo, tomatoes, and gooey over-easy egg took it completely over the top. It was so satisfying and surprisingly easy to eat -- kept me full all the way until a late dinner. Our experience was so good we're already planning to come back tomorrow. Until then, their baked goods will be living rent-free in our minds... passionately.

My favorite one stop shop for delicious chicken katsu sandwiches and yummy egg tarts! Great service as always from the owner Jenni. Can't wait to come back again :)

Chicken katsu with egg
Helen L.

I got the chicken katsu and egg on a bun. Ready made. They were nice to heat up. Tiny bit of Sriracha. Some people came in and left. I think they have more selections of their baked goods in the morning. Also, they close on Monday , so why make more. Nice tables to sit and eat.

Long hair cooked in pie

I really wanted to be a regular at this bakery. I was going weekly and enjoying the different things that I would buy. But a few weeks ago, I got a mini rhubarb pie and found a long hair in it! Luckily, I was eating it with a fork and it came up in the first bite, so I didn't eat any, but it completely turned me off from ever buying anything there, again.

Hot dog bun
Amy X.

Ambiance: It's bright and clean with a few tables and chairs to hang out with your friends, while you're having your snacks. Noise levels are also pretty low, but I'm sure it depends on how many patrons or who is in the shop. Service: The owner is very nice and will also ask if you want certain items heated up. Food: Everything is made fresh in house and the prices are so much better than some of the neighboring shops. Four dollars for a down spam and egg bun?! Under $3 for a hot dog bao? Sign me up! The buns are soft and fluffy and a little sweet on top, which is just perfect for the savory sweet palate that i prefer. I ended with the walnut cookie, which is a sizeable portion. I grabbed 3 items for under $10. I think that's super affordable, considering that there's meat and a fried egg in one of the sandwiches. I think this is one of the best places to go in the neighborhood if you're looking for sandwiches that aren't $10+ - they have other substantial looking meat items that i have yet to try. Woman minority owned business. Shop local and love this spot!

Their menus.

Happened into Sweet Passion Bakery this morning (tucked quietly away on Taraval Street across from Walgreens and next door to Andy Town Coffee) and absolutely LOVED our new find! I especially appreciate the bit of "Yin Yang" food ... meaning, a bit of Eastern (Chinese) food and a bit of Western food and drinks. Two people were running the place: a woman and a young man. Both were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious! I enjoyed a Barbequed Pork Bun and an [off the menu] "Yin Yang Milk Tea". (Yin Yang Milk Tea is a Hong Kong Milk Tea with a bit of Coffee.) Both were super yummy! The Pork Bun has a generous amount of meat that was seasoned wonderfully. The Pork was yummy and lean ... no chunks of fat, and the bread was soft and fresh. Perfect!!! The others in our party ordered Spam and Egg Bun, Coconut Bun, and a Plain Bun. We all loved what we ordered as we enjoyed all the locals and the regulars that popped in and out. Seating was limited and the atmosphere relaxed. We weren't rushed at all and enjoyed a lazy Sunday morning impromptu catch up over coffee and delicious snacks with good friends. I will definitely come back. I loved the food, drink, and prices. Everything seemed to be cooked fresh there; the people are nice and friendly; easy parking; and clean. If you go, ask about things that are not listed. For example, I didn't know about the Yin Yang Milk Tea until I heard a regular order it. In addition, they had Almond Croissants that they brought out fresh and hot after another regular ordered it. So they are full of delicious secrets yet to be discovered!!! For those who know me, I used to have a "go-to" coffee chain that I loved. But since the pandemic, their business model has changed and it's not as fun nor worthwhile for me to go there. I LOVE finding solid "Mom and Pop" small businesses like these where it seems like people are making an honest living ... working hard, helping the community, offering quality products at fair prices. One and only drawback for me: like with many small businesses, there's no public restroom ... so I couldn't stay THAT long!!! Thank you so much to the wonderful woman and the young man today for providing us such a GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!

Crispy goodness
Christopher B.

Small, cozy spaces where the owner knows their customers and have a heavy flow of locals have a special place in my heart. While I don't get to the Outer Sunset so much these days, I was there recently for a very early Sunday morning soccer match. Craving something local, I popped in here after browsing some other spots... including some of the "well-known" spots around. This place reminded me of some other small spots in NYC and Miami with an eclectic mix of food items... sausage rolls, curry pasties, potato bread goodies, and a wide assortment of pastries. The owner clearly knew the folx who were coming in, calling most by name. While the rolls & pasties looked soooo good, I couldn't pull my eyes away from the egg + cheese + bacon + ham croissant, it looked insane, in the very best way. When I asked for it, the owner asked me if it was ok that it had Siracha... divine! This breakfast croissant was epic. She warmed it up for me and it was nice and crispy, the tanginess of the melted cheese + Siracha, paired with the flavor explosion of the egg + ham + bacon... Anthony B would have loved this spot. Sidenote... a regular came on to order a bunch of goodies and the owner explained that she had an assortment of moon cakes given the season. This is that local + ethnic + eclectic vibe that I love. I'll be back.

Bacon biscuit sandwich
Kathy L.

It's been nearly a year since my last visit and it is still a fantastic little neighborhood bakery featuring Chinese bakery treats and Irish/British baked goods. I arrived around 8:30am and the freshly baked goods are steadily coming out from the back. Their sconewiches are always winners for my family. It's filling and satisfying--it is my personal favorite and reasonably priced at $7.50. I also ordered the Nutella bun & a red bean bun. Both weren't overly sweet, although I wished there was just a bit more Nutella in the bun. If you're in the neighborhood--support this local business--you can't order anything wrong.

Does the soda bread come with golden raisins?

Do they sell Irish Soda bread year-round?

As long as John Campbell is there baking, they have lots of Irish goodies including scones, brown bread, sausage rolls, shepherds pie and soda bread all the time! The soda bread is really good too!

Are the pork buns and pineapple buns available as early as when you open?

The pork buns yes! Haven't tried the pineapple buns yet.

Does anyone know their new number? I tried calling, but it says the number has changed. Thanks

Thanks for asking! Here's our number : 415-661-0928

Me and a friend went here on a Friday (in April - the menus change monthly). The owner requested…read morethat lineups start after 7:45 - we got there at about 7:50 AM and there was already about half a block's worth of line. Once the bakery opened at 9 AM the line moved fairly fast, but by opening time the line was down two blocks and wrapped around out of sight. We'd heard about B&C lines but even this on a weekday morning was surprising. Overall the pastries were very good, I will say that the savory pastries rank higher here than anywhere else I've been, but the sweet pastries don't. We got the Strawberry Rhubarb Cruffin, Lemon Bluberry Bun, Potato Artichoke Croquiche, Bacon Egg & Cheese, and Sam's Blood Orange Olive Oil Cake. The Croquiche was my favorite of all of them, and it was great warm, with a nice creamy filling. From the sweet pastries, my favorite was the Strawberry Rhubarb Cruffin - the rhubarb taste wasn't very strong but it was overall flaky, not too dry (even when eating it later in the day), and the cinnamon coating also didn't clash with the strawberry, vanilla, and orange. Least favorite was the olive oil cake; it was slightly bitter and the olive oil taste was dominating. These pastries are very large. Split between 2 people 3 of them were enough for us to be so full we saved the rest for later. I also got the Brown Butter Butterscotch Latte (iced), I'm not usually a fan of coffee but it was really good (it's very sweet so as a non-coffee drinker that worked out for me - the syrups overpower the coffee taste). The inside is cute with a pastel pink theme, we were able to snag the two seats by the window. I also liked the merch for sale and got a small print of the storefront. Definitely worth going too once, but due to the line I probably won't return until a monthly menu comes out that has a lot of things I desperately want to try. It's a top 3 bakery in SF for sure.

Went there today for the first time. It was cute. It was decent. When we got there at around 11:30…read moreAM, however, half the good things were out, which was disappointing, but it's somehow acceptable. What was unacceptable was the fact that they, after waiting in the line, took our order and then we had to wait longer for them to make it. Minutes into that second wait, they called us up to inform us that the items they collected our money for ran out. What would we like instead? All that seems rather odd. Why take my money if you don't have it? Furthermore, is the best form of compensation just simply "what would you like instead?" Not exactly customer service oriented and lack of customer love.

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

My favorites are the cheese roll, the chocolate thing and the almond cookie. All of the treats have the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

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.

When my wife and I started planning our leisurely drive to San Francisco, we intended to visit two…read morebakeries, Tartine and Arizmendi, with the goal of purchasing scones and other pastries/desserts. 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.

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.
