Congrats on re-opening after their window got broken and then had to GoFundMe to fix windows and install metal gate. This is a small business who care about their community and staying to serve their community. Yelp folks, give Yvonne"s Southern Sweets some love. She is only open Weds and Thursday from 10 am to 3 pm due to health reasons for now, but look for more hours. Today, I got one of each of what they had. 1 brownie, 1 bundt cake slice, and German cupcakes. The German cupcakes were the best, nutty, coconutty. Parking was super easy. read more

I love coming here. My favorite thing to purchase are the butter cookies. You can purchase the regular ones or the sugar free ones. The peach cobbler and red velvet cake are delicious too. I love taking the peach cobbler home and heating it up. It gives me this warm and fuzzy feeling. I would like to try the 7uo cake the next time I go as well. read more

Delicious amazing treats as well as wonderful customer service and ambiance. Love this place

Southeast San Francisco's best pie shop (actually probably one of the best shops in the Bay Area) is a tiny operation out of a Bayview storefront. The pies are fantastic (very sweet, buttery, but without being overwhelming), but the selection is limited. Again, it's a one-person shop, so it really is just what's available that day. Service is great, and while the store is small, it's treated with love. read more

Great cookies my favorite is the butter pecan and I will travel to get them all the time

Delicious cookies! I would definitely recommend them to anyone! I haven't been to her storefront- but they sell the cookies in the gift shop at a nearby hospital 10/10 cookie read more

I wanted to post an update and let you know that absolutely everything I've ever had from this bakery has been amazing. Obviously the pecan pie is my favorite but the sweet potato pie is so so good. The butter cookies hit the spot and I recently had German chocolate cake for the first time and yes...it was amazing. I'm eating a slice right now. I love the service here and it feels great to support a local business. This is my go to bakery in SF and I hope you love it as much as I do! read more

Yvonne's Southern Sweets - German chocolate cake - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

I bought a the german chocolate cupcakes and the pecan pie this morning --- it was heavenly and divine!!! The texture of the cupcake was superb and the topping was amazing. Pecan pie was above par!!! I am not surprised now that the owner wouldn't accept anymore orders -- too bad as I wanted to order for my station's amazon drivers in celebration of Black History Month and promoting African American businesses... I hope next time, I will be given a chance. Thank you Yvonne for giving me a "taste of heaven." read more

Yvonne's Southern Sweets - Mini pecan pie and butter cookie next to the shop - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

We called Yvonne's Southern Sweets and had the pleasure of talking to Yvonne. We had a gathering coming up in a few weeks and were looking for desserts. After talking about what we needed we ordered 100 handheld peach cobblers and 100 handheld pecan pies plus 2 dozen vegan sugar cookies. At the party everyone loved them. We were asked if we had any extras they could take home. People asked where we got them from and we were very happy to hand out her business cards. They were delicious just the right amount of sweetness. The people who had the sugar cookies also loved them. My wife and I are definitely going to be using Yvonne's Southern Sweets for more occasions. read more

Yvonnes's has the best shortbread/butter cookies. Definitely our go to place for desserts of all kinds.

The owner lacks professionalism, she doesn't open timely with her web posting. I have traveled from the east bay numerous time only for the business to be closed. Love the taste of her butter cookies since tasting them at a event when she was starting her business. I All I can say is Don't forget those who helped you get started. Don't Let it Go to Your Head....(Success) read more

Yvonne's baked good are made the old fashioned way meaning no fillers or artificial sweeteners etc. She's also local to San Francisco, CA and a small business owner. Small business owners like Yvonne is what sets us apart as a nation and the backbone of the United States. read more

I can undeniably say that this bakery is my #1 in San Francisco. Her menu is versatile from her popular butter cookies all the way to her crab and sausage consisted gumbo soup. Once you try her food once, I can promise you will want to come back for more. My personal favorites from Yvonne's menu include her gumbo, butter cookies, beignets and pies. During holidays you can place your own order, but I attend her pop-up events where she features her gumbo and beignets since at the moment they're only made during her pop-up events. I stay updated about these events through her Instagram @yvonnessouthernsweets. Yvonne herself is very friendly and approachable with her smile as she greets all her diverse customers. Yvonne's Southern Sweets is an inclusive space for all which is why I 100% recommend this establishment!! read more

Yvonne's Southern Sweets - a variety of baked goods - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was lucky enough to attend a pop up event today at City Hall where Yvonne's Southern Sweets was selling some of their items. I purchased a praline and a butter cookie, both reasonably priced at $2 a piece. I've never tried pralines as I always thought they would be too sweet. Well, this praline was sweet but so delicious with that nutty flavor. I ate it over the course of the evening and it was delicious! The butter cookie! What can I say? To compare it to shortbread would be a disservice but that's the closest thing it reminds me of. It was out of this world. So good I'm seriously thinking about driving down to Third Street to buy a dozen of those cookies. They were that good. So glad I know of this gem of a bakery now! read more

Last year, we ordered about 60 bags of butter cookies as gifts for our postdocs during PostDoc Appreciation Week. Everything was beautifully packaged, and the cookies were scrumptious! I thought it was a great value, too! I am placing our repeat order right now! Thank you, Yvonne's! You're very special! ***** Katherine Krebs UCSF Dept of Bioengineering & Therapeutic Sciences read more

I love sweet potatoes so I had to try Yvonne's sweet potato pie! It was too cute not to buy! (hey, that rhymed!) I took it back to my dorm and warmed it up in the microwave before eating it. The consistency reminds me of pumpkin pie, but the flavor is a little less sweet which I liked. The crust was buttery and flaky! This pie was delicious and is the perfect serving size for one person! Next time I want to try her famous pecan praline and butter cookie! read more

I am craving one of the Rae Rae's Cookies ( Named after her Mom). The pure ingredients melt in your mouth. In addition to cookies and pralines, the shop offers Sweet Potato pie and Cakes Made-to-Order. Are you missing the flavor of your Aunt's Red Velvet Cake? How about German Chocolate. Ice Cream and beverages are also sold to wash down the sweet goodness. Yum!!! read more

I love the butter cookies! I had the gluten free one today and it was very rich and buttery. Amazing! It really does remind you of home. Everything is so affordable too and the staff is really nice. I will go back many times! read more

Stopped by back in November 2016 to celebrate Yvonne's 10 year anniversary. Prior to I had never been, nor had I tasted any of her treats. I haven't always been a big sweet eater, but I can never say no to a cookie or cupcake! With that said, I tried one Yvonne's butter cookies and almost shouted! They were soooooo good! So good I had to buy one. I opted for the sugar-free butter cookie since I had already eaten abut 5 of the regular ones (don't judge me!). I also bought a praline cookie and a lemon meringue pie. O M G...when I tell you I devoured ev-er-y thing! So so very delicious! read more

I was enticed into this little shop when I moved into the neighborhood and was searching Yelp for the best spots. I must say, "Yay! I'm a fan." Yvonne couldn't be nicer and she is really proud of her baked goods. The treats are all wonderful (I particularly like the butter cookies) and you can even order cakes and such in advance. She remembered me when I came into the shop for a second time (and I had come in probably about 1 month earlier - great memory!). Try her red velvet cupcakes and you probably shouldn't leave without tasting her famous pralines :) Just be careful - she bakes things for the day so if you come too late you might miss out on some of the selection! read more

After stuffing ourselves with BBQ next door, we still managed to check out this place, and the smell of butter & sugar drew me in... I was quickly sold on trying the butter pecan cookie. (She'd just finished baking the butter cookies!) Brownie = ginormous and moist. He's still working on it. $4.00. Butter pecan cookie = crispy, buttery and heavenly. I've still got to work on finishing it. Can't wait. $2.00. Service = friendly. Very clean place. Prices = reasonable. Quality for the buck. I know where I'll come for some Southern sweets if I'm too lazy to bake. Or want to impress guests for a Southern meal. ;) read more

The only thing better than the awesome desserts is Yvonne herself. She's down-to-earth personable, genuinely friendly, and I just can't help but want her sweet shop to succeed. With the $20 livingsocial.com coupon, the BF and I tried: 1. Old-fashioned Butter cookie (perfectly sweet with a great snappy-crumb texture and buttery taste - advice: get the chocolate dipped one if they're available) 2. Rae-Rae cookie (same as the butter cookie but with pecan pieces... and named after her mom) 3. Pralines (definitely for those with a serious sweet tooth, but I loved them) 4. Peach cobbler tart (correctly spiced and not overly sweet) 5. Sweet potato pie tart (like a silky smooth mini-pumpkin pie) 6. Pecan pie tart (sweeter than I'm used to, but still absolutely delicious) The high-quality, baked-with-love goodness Southern specialty treats are worth the trip out to Yvonne's. read more

Need your southern sweets fix this place is it from butter cookies to the pralines you won't be disappointed. The owner is sweet kinds her passion shows in her sweet treats a must visit on your foodie list. read more

I had the immense pleasure of tasting one (ok two) of Yvonne's butter cookies at this years Oakland Art & Soul Festival. Let me just say that I am soooo glad she (and her cookies) are across the bay from me. It was truly the best cookie I have ever eaten. When I am next in SF I WILL be stopping at Yvonne's. Can't wait to sample some of her other desserts. L. read more

Oh man, so, the other day I re-tasted yvonne's Pralines and also her butter cookies and red velvet cupcakes. ARE YOU KIDDING!? I've been thrown into self-crisis and am consumed with the question: have I ever tasted anything better? How does she make those pralines? The mystery makes them all the more delicious. read more

The desserts are quite scrumptious here and the prices are a steal for SF! I've always been a big fan of bread pudding in general, and the one here is quite tasty. Slightly sweeter than I'm usually used to, but Yvonne suggested mixing it with some darker beer from Laughing Monk, and that really hit the spot. I've bought mini-snacks from there (brownies, butter cookies) at different events also, and they never disappoint. read more

Here I go, my first taste -- When biting into a pecan praline baked by Yvonne, I get a delicious burst of sweet and nutty, salty and buttery flavor. Suddenly my head starts to hum a sweet little dixieland jazz tune... Oh my! I think I have been transported from San Francisco to the South. I feel like I'm standing in the middle of old-timey street in New Orleans, enjoying what might be one of the most sinfully rich and decadent treats one can experience. Have you ever had a praline give you so much satisfaction? read more

Purchased butter cookies and sweet potato pie are very good. Will be returning for more delicious desserts.

Great cookies! Love them! Have you ever eaten something and it takes you to your childhood days? That's Yvonne's butter cookies, it takes me back to my days as a child working in my elementary school kitchen for Mrs Kinoshita. The payment for working/helping serve and prepare lunches for the whole school were her delicious cookies. Thank you Yvonne read more

I was walking around open studios when the smell of pure butter coming from Yvonne's kitchen was enough to ask her to marry me. The butter cookies are amazing and she's as sweet as her cookies. Buy this woman's baking. read more

The pralines? Amazing! Butter cookies? Yum!!!! I bought these from Yvonne at an event in San Francisco (I've never been to her store.) Yvonne was so nice and friendly. Her desserts looked amazing, so I had to take home a few to eat for dinner. I'm SO glad I did. The pralines, in particular, are fantastic. Definitely head down to Yvonne's if you are in need of a sweet treat. read more

Well I just happen to find this place on a day out in the City great find I will be back way to go Ms. Yvonne excellent product. read more

Love rae rae cookies and the pralines. Bayview is off the typical tourist track but we found the people welcoming and helpful so don't be disuaded fromcoming to yvonnes because of bad press of the neighborhood. I did.not like the peach cobbler as much as I thought I would but that might have been my fault since I took it back to columbus ohio. I would rate the goodies a solid 4.5stars and Yvonne herself 5 stars. read more

Oh Yvonne! How sweet you are! And your pralines are a piece of art! There sweet and delicious, warm and comforting. Every time I bite into one of your pieces of heaven...it takes me to a "happy" place. I ALWAYS welcome one of your delicious treats...it just makes this world a better place! Hey you reading this...go get some PRALINES! and as a bonus she sells Mitchell's Ice Cream! The PERFECT marriage!....*sigh* read more
