Adorable, colorful coffee shop; colors on the wall comprise the colors of the homes in the hood. Not too crowded in a.m. (yet). Friendly staff. Has almond milk.
Part impromptu naval museum and party kitsch-fest, venture into the little alley this place is tucked into and stumble out a happier man who just drank up some bona fide San Francisco history.

New mom tired of the hospital coffee? Walk down the hill to Golden Bear for some pour-over! 5 minute walk, tops. The owner is kind and funny, and the pastries are excellent, too.
Best coffee in this immediate area. The ginger cookie tasted store bought. Would prefer they switch to a thicker almond milk like a baristas blend.
For those of you looking for a new coffee spot, head to Snowbird Coffee in Inner Sunset. They're currently serving Ruby Roasters from Wisconsin and free wifi. Read more.
Get one cup of coffee and spend 10hrs in there working cause you're more productive there than in your office!
Old skool dot commers lunched here at ground during the first boom. Most of you reading this are too young to know what I am talking about.
One of the best cafes in town for productive working - lots of power, calm space, fantastic coffee
Great tea! Perfect to stop in for a quick snack or to get the full tea! Loved the Paris tea (caramel and vanilla.) Also, they sell candy bars from London! : )
Eggs in a basket is fluffy, juicy, and buttery!! Lavender latte also cry aromatic and delicious!
The most amazing cinnamon toast ever! How is that possible you ask? Just go by there and try it...
Fresh mint chip!! Amazingly fresh!! And a waffle cone is a must.
We love the tart Mixed Berry Pie, and the Strawberry Rhubarb Pie, an excellent combination of sweet and slightly sour, made irresistible by a crumbly top. Read more.
Everything is amazing. Chocolate croissants fresh out of the oven were so good that I felt self conscious eating them around other people. I had a sample of a scone that was the best of my life.
Great neighborhood place ... chocolate, lemon and apple tarts are out of this world. Mini-chocolate cake was disappointing, but I might have hit it on a bad day.
Go for challah. With plain, sesame, poppy, and cinnamon, there is a loaf here to meet all your challah needs. Also great is the fruit bread, like double raisin, organic fig and cherry chocolate. Read more.
La Victoria sells breads made by Sour Flour, a local bread cooperative and baking school. Their signature item is the eponymous “Sour Flour Loaf” a tangy sourdough bread with a dark brown, chewy crust Read more.
New location seems like a winner our canoli and eclair were great. Can't wait to see how the Italian Rum Cake turns out.
Come early to this small bakery on the corner of Washington Square Park which turns out about ten kinds of focaccia bread—onion, raisin, olive, mushroom—every day from its old-fashioned brick ovens. Read more.
Just excellent coffee stand. Both of batch brew and pour over. Next time I go their food.
"Urban garden tucked bw very tall buildings. Quiet little gem of a space, access via lobby to the rear or an obscure passage off Front. Light but no sun. Café closes at 3pm, garden at 6:30" Read more.
Macau-style pastries, with specialty Portuguese custard tarts. http://hoodline.com/2016/01/mr-bread-opens-on-taraval
Sunday mornings here are called Beignet Sundays. Come worship at the altar of Yum.
SF Weekly’s Best Of 2012 Winner – Editorial Pick – Best BakeryThere is something decidedly nostalgic about the high-end Pop-Tarts, ham and cheese bostocks, and other treats whipped up by founder... Read more.
What an awesome cafe w/ lots of room and wifi! Oh yea, and the coffee is incredible!
Good Chilean style empanadas, so they have olives and half of a hard boiled egg inside!
Some of the breakfast sandwiches can get real greasy. Be warned. But it's a hangover dream.
Ice cream made as you order it. The salted caramel was so good. They guy making it was really nice and informative.
More cafe than bakery, Cassava serves Asian-inspired bites. The Japanese breakfast (weekends only) includes miso soup, wakame salad, a poached egg in dashi broth and more. Read more.
Rotating soft-serve and topping options. Don't be surprised if you start thinking about getting something else after you get done.
Super cool new space. Try the single origin espresso in your drink, delicious!
I love my boba sweet, and they make it pretty sweet by default here. I love the classic Thai milk tea!
Funky modern little tea shop where the drinks are interesting and tasty (USD 4.50-5.50 for most) and the staff extremely friendly and helpful.
Portland favorite now in SF. Caramel ribbons, sightglass coffee w/ dandelion chocolate are great. Favorite: Peach cobbler. There will be long lines, waited 45 mins to get a scoop on opening day
Steep Creamery is serves the newest dessert trend - rolled ice cream. Try the traditional Cookie Crush flavor made with cookies and chocolate ice cream or go for a tea flavor, such as Thai iced-tea.
Always get these! Even if there's a line wait. These donuts are amazing. Cinnamon or just regular sugar. Very quick and cheap for the area
We’ve never met a sandwich at this pocket-sized SOMA cafe that we haven’t liked. What’s so good? The ingredients are top notch, the flavors perfectly balanced, and, oh yeah, they’re stacked. Read more.
"Longest operating bakery in Chinatown, since 1924. Cash-only. Signature is coffee crunch cake: soft yellow sponge cake topped with toffee bits and mocha cream. Also, lotus-paste mooncakes."
The butter is a once in a lifetime experience but way too heavy for multiple consumptions. The two in one order custard pineapple buns are the way to go, freshly warmed of course!
Their shrimp dumplings are the best by far around Chinatown. A lesser known item is their dried shrimp rice roll. Very good as well. Long lines, though, so be prepared to wait.
Friendly staff, great horchata latte (made with almond milk!), tons of local artists’ work for sale. 48 artists on this visit.
Dogpatch gem. Don’t believe the crummy tips. I go for an everything with cream cheese, which tastes amazing and unlike others. Can’t beat the freshness of this bakery, creamery, and Red Bay coffee.
The best ice cream I've had so far in SF, milkshakes to die for, and friendly staff
Awesome donut shop. Get there quick; they sell out quickly. My faves are turkey & jalapeño croissant, blueberry buttermilk bar, apple fritter and a glazed old fashioned. So good!
Now serving great coffee https://sf.eater.com/2022/9/21/23365379/third-wheel-coffee-pop-up-alamo-square
Love love love this place and all its pastries! The best bakery in SF! Their cakes are always fresh and delicious, I always order my birthday cakes from here 😍
The ice cream is high quality. The baked goods are highly recommended. I always go for the best of both worlds: a piece of pie al la mode. my favorite being the peach with vanilla
The main attraction here is the warm Glazed Donut ice cream sandwich called Milkbomb Sandwich. A must try!
Love the Orange foam coffee. I combine kalbijim croissant and injeolmi croissant to stack the rice cake and the kalbi like a magical croissant sandwich.
The best Chinese food I’ve ever had. The shrimp dumplings, shiu mai, chive dumplings, sticky rice in lotus leaf, steamed BBQ pork bun, and sesame ball, were phenomenal.
Borscht and pelmeni are delicious! I wish I have discovered this place a long time ago
Atelier Crenn (holds 3 Michelin stars) alums started this “Asian American” bakery serving delightful goodies: kaya toast (coconut jam on milk bread) + their version of an ube tart (w/ CA sweet potato)
Cinnamon rolls (on weekends only) are fantastic. The Pistachio Apricot Bostock is wonderful
Chinese baked good utopia. Cash only. Sponge cakes, egg tarts, pineapple buns, pork buns, etc. And never really a line.
Big fan of the OG location. Different, more modern vibe here, and the backyard looks very promising. Breakfast sandwich was pretty good but the cinnamon roll was insane. 10/10
"Check out the rack in the front window full of fresh baked cinnamon rolls, ham and cheese croissants, morning buns, cookies, and homemade Oreos (the menu changes daily)."
Great bread, pastries, and coffee in a really warm atmosphere with friendly staff. Top notch addition to West Portal. (Also, they accept Apple Pay.)
Great go-to spot for sandwiches to take to Ocean Beach. I’ve had the pastrami and smoked salmon and will be going back when the cravings strike!
