Stacy and her team work pure magic with their culinary skills. The balanced sweetness of the cake with a touch of sea salt was nothing less than perfection.They consider every small suggestion/recommendation and coordinates superbly so that you can you can surprise your loved one without worrying.Thanks for helping me in making my sister's birthday a memorable one.

The pizzas are average, but the attitude of the girls who serve is excellent.

Picked up a TGTG bag here which included what I think was an individual savory bread pudding, plus a slice of apple honey upside down cake and a individual meyer lemon tart. All were delicious and my favorite was the meyer lemon tart. If I was in the neighborhood I'd stop by again.

I recently stumbled upon Little Bee and it is now one of my favorite bakeries in SF. Everything I've tried from here is a 10/10. The oatmeal raisin and lemon thyme cookies, apple honey upside down cake, and sweet hand pies are baked perfection. They have a small set up and limited opening hours but they are so worth the visit. I saw that they make custom cakes that can be ordered online with 48 hours advance notice and can't wait to do this for my next special occasion!

This is a great little find on Cortland. The cookie and pastry selection always make for a great gift! My clients love it when I bring them Little Bee cookies.

Wow! This cake was a HIT. “Best cake I’ve ever had” is one of the many compliments we got.. and I also personally said while celebrating! We went with the gluten free almond cake, lemon curd filling, seasonal berries and chocolate ganache.We also got the challah and that was delicious too. Will definitely be back and I recommend!

I went for dumplings next door and this sweet bakery was a complete surprise but welcome all the same! The dumpling place next door doesn't really have a wide variety of dessert dumpling options like some other dim sum choices so this was fabulous to scratch that itch. Actually I went in for sweets but came out with savory treats mostly. I ended up with a lightly iced lemon cookie with herbs that was beautifully balanced and crumbly like a shortbread cookie. I also took home a cornmeal rosemary cookie, a ginger snap, and a cheese puff bread thing that was delicious! Reminded me of Brazilian bread. They also sell sweet and savory quiches, tarts, cookies galore, take home dough to cook at home that is frozen, just to name a few of their treats. I loved stumbling onto the spot and only wish it was closer because their flavors are clever and delicious.

Omg the Chocolate Gateau is delicious! So moist and smooth. The Oatmeal Raisin Cookie and Coconut muffin were good, too. I must return to try out their other items. Friendly staff. A small, shaded outdoor seating area is available.

Sweet little neighborhood bakery with a stunning array of offerings given the tiny space. Ordered a ginger caramel cake and it was perfect. Wish this was in my neighborhood so I could frequent it more.

Ginger loaf is amazing! And I love the way you package them. Reminds of my greatgrandmother. I took a slice and then repackaged it the same way so I could open it again!

The packed case is a boon for lovers of baked goods in multitude of shapes and sizes. 1) Lemon Poppyseed Loaf. This is not the ultimate dessert for lemon lovers. Citrusy zesty lemon, its star attraction is non existent and that is a shame! Not moist nor bursting with deliciousness. Instead, it is doused in heavy sweetened confectionary glaze so one gets an intense candy sugar flavor in every bite. Disappointing as this loaf did not reign supreme in flavor town. This shall not be wasted but resuscitated for all its bright luscious glory! 2) Ginger Loaf. Moist, squishy, sticky tender goodness. Earthy warm spices are paired well here for an intense depth of flavor. Potent molasses. Perfect for a "company's cake" or not and sure to evoke post-holiday joy! Best to scratch bake these delectables at your own whim with pantry staples. Prices are at the higher end.

Pumpkin walnut loaf cake is so good . Really moist and just the perfect amount of cinnamon and nutmeg
