“I would highly, highly recommend visiting Nopa. The food, service, and atmosphere were all incredible. Super cool space and the daily changing menu had so many amazing options to choose from. I had a duck leg that was so incredibly tender and my husband had a 9-hour bolognese that he raved about. I’d go back in a heartbeat!“
“When we sat down outside, with the blue hour sun hanging low across the city, the tray of gluttony and sugars sat so perfectly on our tray.Then a group of Patagonia-clad men stumbled in saying “with OpenAI” and I was reminded that we’re in San Francisco.The crookie was good, albeit not crispy. While the coffee vanilla mousse looked amazing on the outside, it was a tad too sweet. However, the highlight for me was the Imperial; paired with an iced cold brew, the decadent layers filled with a crumbly bottom and a sweet white filling inside was my favourite.Pretty good!“
“Wildly popular and mostly lives up to the hype! Although, I think the Breakfast Sandwich and the Morning Bun are overrated. IMO, the Smoked Salmon Tartine and the Pressed Ham & Gruyère Sandwich are the can't miss highlights of the menu. The standard baked goodies like the Almond Croissant are also v solid. The big open seating space give me "easy like Sunday morning" vibes that you can keep going by swinging by Heath in the same building or just taking a stroll through the neighborhood.“
“Very nice neighborhood restaurant. Plenty of gluten-free options. Servers are very knowledgeable of the menu! Dessert was fantastic. And the cornbread is gluten-free and delicious! If we ever make it back to SF, we're definitely stopping for dinner again!Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten-free options!“
“This place is the bomb. They know how to make the desserts and they’re not afraid to showcase that! I’ve tried the pistachio eclair and it was so unbelievably good. I am very happy. I still remember how good that was so if you are in mood of craving desserts or you need to impress your guest this is the place ! The balance on sweetness tartness is just perfect. I loved it. Can’t wait to be back.!“
“Loved their Al pastor cauliflower tacos! They're delicious! Haven't seen this vegetarian option on menus. We also got the mushroom cheese dish to share. They give about 6 fresh tortillas with it. Great for sharing between 2-4 ppl. Great service. The decor and the vibe of the place totally goes with the menu. Came here for a friend's birthday. We were group of 10 ppl or so!“
“I visited last week for dinner with my family. We didn't make a reservation and arrived around 6pm. We got seating in the back, which was an outdoor area. Right away they told us there were reservations so we would only be able to eat till around 7:15ish, which was totally okay. The back area was very cute, and extremely warm with the heater.For the food, we got 2 pizzas - honey pepperoni and the one with mushrooms. They were both good, but the crust was the best part. And the honey pepperoni said spicy on the menu but wasn't spicy at all.For appetizers, we got garlic bread and burrata cheese salad. The bread was on the drier side, couldn't taste much garlic. But the salad was very good.Overall, nice experience!“
“I stumbled upon this restaurant with two friends recently when another place we were planning to go to was closed, and I’m so glad we did! The food was SO delicious—flavorful, but not overpowering, and we left satisfied, full, and with lots of leftovers! I started with a mango lassi (my favorite) and really enjoyed the amount of mango flavor but without too much sweetness. We also had the veggie samosas (big, nicely spiced, just perfect), garlic naan (perfection, saag paneer and butter chicken. Everything we ordered was simply delectable. The service was quick and attentive, but not overly so. And the space was clean and very classic—nice dinnerware, candles on the table etc. All in all I’m so happy our original plan changed and we went here! I will definitely be back again!“
“This has become our go-to cake for our birthdays, and we love it! The chocolate imperial cake is our favorite and it is a chocoholics dream. I never share it with anyone because it so darn tasty!It is pricier than a lot of other cake places, but well worth the money for a special occasion.“
“So this was probably the best smoked salmon sandwich I had in my life so far. The Brazilian cream cheese is so good with the salmon!The coffee with milk didn't need sugar, it's just so refreshing on its own.I tried a small bite of the Veggie omelet, and the tapioca crepe is so good, and the omelet is even better.Highly recommended at the fisherman's wharf, with a order by number service, in a good location, I'm gonna say you have to try it here!Vegetarian options: You can get vegetarian options that are clearly marked. Pretty sure you can make minor substitutions, but you'll have to ask!“
“Oh my wow!!!! This cake was so delicious and perfection! Not too sweet or sugary. The ingredients are so fresh and organic. We finished the entire cake of 12 servings among 6 people! I’m definitely ordering from here again and they have a location and deliver in San Jose! It’s so pretty too.“
“In a city filled with famous bakeries everywhere, B Patisserie lives up to its reputation. While it's not the "best bakery ever", it's quite good and nothing really disappoints. They have a good selection of baked goods one would expect from a patisserie, and everything was quite good. Tasty kouign amanns and flaky croissants, nothing to complain about. If you're looking for great baked goods without the crazy lines that some other places in the city have, B Patisserie is a great choice.“
“I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Krispy Kreme who? These donuts are beyond words of delicious and delightful. I drive from the East Bay usually late night when my husband and I are craving phenomenal donuts. The donuts are extremely fresh, the times I've been here there has been an older gentleman making them and racks of donuts ready to be bought. Yummmmmmm. Just incredible tasty donuts. You can tell the oil they get made in is also very fresh, no after taste of old oil. Donuts are not super greasy. The service is magnificent! The first time coming here the woman was extremely helpful and kind. The second time a young man helped us and he had a great personality and energy. He was telling us some of the stories of the donut place. Really enjoyed his service! The ambiance is an old school donut shop with closed off seating area but looks very vintage. Grab and go type of donut shop right on Polk St. RECOMMEND THIS PLACE 100% :)“
“Went here to try the SF restaurant week menu. It has a very nice atmosphere and the food is presented well. I felt that the experience missed the mark a bit though considering the prices. The menu is authentic Mexican but the flavours were lacking. For example, in the hibiscus margarita, the hibiscus was soo diluted compared to one you would get at a nice restaurant in Mexico. And it was similar for the food… the flavours were lacking. The duck on the menu was nice but too salty, while the dessert was too sweet. Our specific server seemed inexperienced but other staff were very attentive. In summary, I was hoping for the flavours to better match what I get in Mexico.“
“There's always a line!I visited the store just after peak hours, but it was always crowded.There were also sandwiches, Danish pies, croissants, cakes, and tarts.The bread we ordered was very delicious.Desserts also seem to be popular, so I'd like to try their popular desserts next time.The croissant was crispy and very tasty.There was also space to eat inside.The taste, location, atmosphere, everything is great.“
“Honestly, I always enjoy my experience at Pakwan. My go to is their cheese naan, which in my opinion is the best naan in SF, possibly the bay. I usually accompany it with either an aloo mutter, bengan bartha, or a chicken tikka masala. Something that goes good with naan and is scoop-able. The workers are super nice and show a lot of hospitality. I really like the ambiance and how the dine in experience is as well with the music they play and how It has a family style vibe that makes it really inviting. Overall, one of 16th streets best eats. Enjoy!“
“Scrumptious chocolate chip cookies! I have yet to try their pies and various baked goods, but I can tell you that these cookies are so wonderful! The sea salt sprinkles were a nice touch because it creates a very balanced flavor. I'm in love with the gooeyness and texture of the cookie. The way the chocolate chips are encompassing the entire cookie is the best. I need more!“
“A great bakery house with a wide variety of pastries. I got $12 curry chicken sandwich. The bread is on the hard/ chewy side like french baguette and the filling is flavorful. The other bakeries I got are also noteworthy like the morning glory bread, the tomato basil scone, and the crazy cookie. I would say the crazy cookie is the most satisfying to me. Would love to try more things next time I visit the neighborhood.“
“I had a great experience ordering from Butter&. I got an array of birthday cakes with different flavors. They looked beautiful, and everyone thought they were delicious. The service was friendly and helpful. And the cost was very reasonable.“
“My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Hahdough bakery to supply the cakes for our wedding. They were wonderful to work with and helped us to pick out the right 4 different cakes. Delivery was seamless and they worked with the venue for a timely drop-off. Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the cakes were! It was a great way to offer our guests multiple options while being super affordable compared to traditional wedding cakes. Not to mention that the cakes were beautiful (see photos).“
“I'm still dreaming about this food. I want to go back, like right now. Everything was just so darn good. Had some MoMo for appetizers (the best damn MoMo/dumplings I've ever had), butter chicken (okay, but you have to), the spinach paneer, and the naans. Every food item was salivatingly delicious that it was hard not to overstuff oneself. I think I did okay there. Service was kind and hospitable. The vibe inside was really nice and conducive to both a date and a work dinner. Loved it!“
“Belly is pretty lean with not much fat in terms of extras to entice. But what they serve, they do well. It has a young start up vibe with good precious offerings, a limited interesting menu for a bakery that also does lunch. It’s pretty much outdoor seating only sans the shade and expect a line. We are told by the counter staff it takes eight minutes to heat the savory mushroom pie or corn pastry with an egg inside. Everything was tasty.Personally I prefer muffins containing an egg to be soft boiled rather than hard, such as the morning muffin at Post Script on Jackson street which can’t compare to anything else. It was a fun place to try and I brought a couple of cookies home to try. The matcha latte was excellent, sweetened with brown sugar. I like that they use good ingredients on their spare cuisine. I do think they might expand the menu a tad.“
“Was going to take a friend visiting to Son and Garden, but this popped up and was on the way. We walked in on a Sunday at 10am with no reservation and were seated immediately. Great service. Great food. Great atmosphere (other than the tables being a little too close together). I now prefer this over S+G. It feels like the cool younger sibling“
“This is my favorite cafe in SF, and I always make a point to come while I'm there. My fav is the breakfast muffin with all the fixings. The bagels, crostinis and baked goods are great aswell. It's a really small space so try to grab a seat outside or just do take out.“
“It’s a great bar for your first date; but no one returns to it ; and therefore it’s not a neighborhood bar; but It’s exterior architecture - a transportation hub / station converted to a bar - is startlingly good; but the interior doesn’t create a sense of belonging.Stools are designed to traumatize your posterior; perhaps a short date is best ; the beer and snacks and the service are great but without the neighborly feeling , it’s just another brick in the wall;“
“I took a lot of accidental live photos here, I would have preferred stagnant. I just wanted to capture one moment, I didn't need any of the moments leading up to that one moment. I'll smile for photos because I want to believe I'm happy in most moments of my life. Live photos are showing me that sometimes I look miserable right before smiling. Anyway, at least food doesn't change much with live photos. It looked and tasted great.“
“LOVE LOVE LOVE this gem! I drove twice in the past week to OBF for food and NA drinks. They have Athletic Run Wild IPA on draft! The staff is friendly and generally very happy to have you there and be a part of their day. The food is DELISH! Breakfast, lunch, coffee, refreshing NA drink to enjoy outside or inside. It is worth the drive for me to not be laughed at when I try to order an NA beverage and have a tons of options.“
“I still give this place five stars for their gluten free baked goods and take home lasagna but overall four stars because their service still sucks most of the time. I went by here recently on a Sunday morning before a meeting to grab something hot to eat. I love their hot pockets. However, it was 9:30 am. A number of people around me and I started to form a line. Some people asked the staff questions about the pastries and they answered while putting stuff out. None of the staff thought to tell us that they didn't open until 10 am on Sundays. After about 5 minutes of being ignored, I saw the small sign for their hours. I pointed it out to others and we all left. That was a horrible experience as I was hungry and now didn't have time to get something else before my meeting. On Pi Day, I came by and was pleased they had a number of pies available in different sizes. I picked up a small Chocolate Pie that was low in sugar and a small Cherry Pie. They were the perfect size for the three of us though they could have fed more people. We didn't finish the pies ourselves. The Chocolate Pie was yummy and perfect for me but my husband said it wasn't sweet enough for him. We all loved the Cherry Pie! We went back recently and picked up their pizza dough. It came with two rounds. They were awesome!!! We put on our own toppings and popped them into the oven. They came out delicious. I love their food. I just wish the service was better.“
“the staff are super friendly and recommended me their favorites. I got the strawberry matcha croissant which was light and flaky inside with the perfect amount of filling and generous toppings. I can tell it was made with high quality butter as it held together well without breaking into a greasy mess. it also wasn't too sweet and was complemented by the tanginess of the strawberry cream. the financier was not dry and still soft despite being buckwheat based. the menu is super exciting and I will definitely be back to try other pastries (especially the Sunday menu)“
“We made a brunch reservation to have the tea service, but were pulled away into the savory menu options. We started with the viennoiserie and moved into poached eggs, which were cooked to four minute perfection (our request). Everything we had was great, and the service and atmosphere were lovely.“
“UPDATE: Love the food, I always bring friends here when they come to visit for brunch. Ive ordered bacon flight, deep fried french toast, wedges, crab benedict, two eggs, franciscan scramble and the lemon ricotta pancakes. Bottomless only works if both people get, but their other mimosas and coffee are great too!Love the food, always order delivery if I cant do dine in. But it was very cold with both doors open for dine in.“
“This is such a hidden gem and perfect late night dive spot (in a good way)! It’s giving Dave the Diver (iykyk).We came around 11pm on a Friday night and were greeted by ALL the staff when we walked in, as if we were old friends. The service was prompt and sushi is fun and delicious! I recommend experimenting— I loved the pokemon roll!At add to that, the atmosphere was so cool and authentic and the live DJ was killing it! I was searching for the dance floor.10/10 would recommend and will be back.“
“Great breakfast sandwiches! Usually a bit of a wait, but so worth it. It's all about their biscuits, it being a bakery primarily. My partner got me a birthday cake from here once, and they were extremely open on flavors.The only downside is the seating. There are a few high in demand tables on the street, and the interior is all bakery. Even for takeout, it can be awkward without a great place to wait.“
“Excellent Mexican food and drinks. Came here with a bunch of friends for brunch, and all ordered different things, and everything was really good.I really liked my Quesadilla Roja con Chicharron, which was filled with meaty and cheesy goodness.“
“Vegan cuisine (non-religious)Ethiopian cuisine, very interesting to try. The menu has a large QR code on the transparent partition at the cashier counter, and you can see the picture by scanning it. If you have no clue, just choose the most popular area. In addition, they also have traditional staple dishes, which look like burritos but taste like cakes, and they also have rice options.The service is very homely and friendly, it looks like a three-generation family restaurant.The taste can also be adjusted, such as adding spiciness or if you don’t want onions.There are many street residents in this neighborhood, so the lights are a little dim at night.In addition, the sign at the entrance is not very obvious. Although it is a store with large floor-to-ceiling glass, it is easy to miss it at night, so open your Google Navigation.Oh, I forgot to mention: very delicious!Recommend you to give it a try!Paid parking is available on the street.Vegetarian options: Vegan (non-religious)Dietary restrictions: Ethiopian meals“
“Best bakery in the city! Got my husband a carrot cake for his birthday and it was so delicious, hands down the best cake i've had. They wrote happy birthday on it for me in any color i wanted too. It was $50 for a 8 in cake which fed all 20+ adults and is incredibly affordable when you compare to the chains like susie's. I'll be back any time i need a cake!“
“Great restaurant! Can't wait to go back! Took a vegetarian friend for her birthday and had a wonderful meal. we started with the Winter Chicory Salad and an order of the Petite Rye & Smetana Butter--the salad hit all the right notes with it's citrus-y dressing; the home-made rye bread was great (the smetana butter could have had a bit less salt...) Then we had the Crispy Zrazi--this wonderful potato/lentil dish stole the show! The Wild Mushroom Stroganoff was delicious (and so rich, I would suggest sharing...). Two baked rye doughnuts & caramel sauce were brought to the table with a birthday candle for dessert. Service was perfect--we enjoyed the entire experience. I can't wait to go back and try some of the non-vegetarian options--which i will have to have with the crispy zrazi. The brunch menu looks awesome, too.......“
“Tried this place when I was out in San Francisco. Everything is so fresh. The pizza was great and all of the baked pastries I got we're good. It's definitely not an over the top places but what they have is very good. They make simple things like muffins and cookies.“
“I was in the city for a conference and didn't have time to eat, but SF pizza saved me, it was easy and fast to pickup. Loved the place, environment and service. The pesto and tomato pizza was GREAT! I like to keep my pizza simple with good ingredients, if you are like me, definitely give it a try. ?“
“Amazing food with options that meet different tastes.Their burgers are so tasty and their sandwiches as well.I love their packaging has a minimal use of plastic.There's an indoor seating area which is a bit noisy but outside the terrace is just perfect, good luck finding a table when it's busy! ;)“
“The place is quiet and nice. Has seating inside and outside. The owner Lily and her mother Annie are so sweet! The coffee is amazing and their pastries are fresh. The vegan loafs are so good. We got the banana nut loaf which was super moist.Very family oriented, kid and pet friendly The chocolate chip cookie my son got was also very soft and delicious.Thank you for your hospitality and service.Nice to meet you both ❤️“
“Slightly more expensive slice ($16 for two slices), but full of fresh ingredients.I got the Meat Lovers and the Greek and the Meat Lovers was the better of the two. But I liked all the olives and the fresh tomatoes on the Greek. On the Meat Lovers, there were too many onions, otherwise great meat.“
“High end flavors and amazing breakfast!!! My husband and I were both blown away! I got the salmon Benedict and he got the omelette with sautéed apple, Brie and cilantro. He substituted sausage for the mushrooms and the flavors and texture were excellent !“
“Came here before a concert, it was a great snacks that turned into dinner :)Ordered the arepa and cachapa- loooove them! I personally like cachapa better because of thinner crust and that allows me to balance the corn and meat flavor. But the arepa still tastes amazing!Too bad there was no interesting drinks available, though. The restaurant was small and quiet, it's pretty tidy with small water dispenser available. The service is pretty decent, you'll need to come to the register and pay.“
“Ordered spinach salad, no adds in. Very fresh, good combinations, big size. Only thing I would recommend to make it proper Mediterranean is to just add a seasoning bar with olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice instead of the seasoning that came prepared cause it's too sugary. Service was excellent, very decent guys, all seemed kind and humble. Surprisingly fair/moderate prices, considering the city.“
“Love the neighborhood feel when you step into this coffee shop. They have an interesting selection of coffee drinks, including matcha. I recommend the Okinawan Kokuto Latte with an almond croissant. Nice place to sip a coffee and get some work done (with headphones on of course).“
“This was my first visit and it did not disappoint. I loved the fact parking directions was included on the ordering site. The customer service was exceptional and with a smile. The veggie omelette flavorful and packed to maintain its warmth. I also tried the pumpkin cheesecake and it was delightful. I say it’s often hard to find excellent customer service and excellent food. The Happy Vegan has both.Dietary restrictions: VeganParking: It was easy to locate street parking“
“Have to admit, this place was in a mental blind spot for me until a friend recommended it. Turns out it's delightful! The place was totally empty on a Monday night, but the service was very friendly, the food was solid, the decor was lively, and the seating was comfortable. Looking forward to going back ?“
“Yummy food but not very memorable in terms of like amazing italian joints. I loved so much about this place but something is not clicking and i'm drawing a blank on the food. I know I walked out of there feeling like it could have been better but I loved the vibes and the dining room.“
“Stopped in for a quick lunch after our Alcatraz tour and we were not disappointed! Had one dozen raw oysters and the truffle Parmesan fries. Fresh, delicious! Our server was also lovely and the entire service team was attentive and friendly. Don’t miss this popular place!“
