    Great if you like Asian-style milk bread but otherwise unremarkable but will totally suffice for a grab and go lunch. Enjoy making tuna salad sandwiches and kaya toast with their Japanese shokupan which is probably my top item at Andersen. Fruit roll cakes are pretty good too. Their other baked goods are decent but their croissants for example are not as flaky compared to other top spots in the city. This is not the spot for crusty breads but for softer baked goods and lunch sandwiches, this is it. Friendly staff a plus.

    I hardly ever come to this establishment near my job. I decided to give it a try. My order was pretty quick. Soup was warm and tasty.

    The sandwiches were delicious. The reason for 4 stars is that they didn't have many drink options. We thought they'd had more coffee options as it is a bakery. They several pastry options but not as much as we expected. We did get a croissant which was good too. The service was fast and they were busy. A lot of people coming in and out that are staying in the surrounding hotels

    I have had an Andersen cake before and it was not bad so came by to get their half a sandwich & side salad combo for about $12. The sandwich size was fine but the two small thin slices of roast beef was the saddest thing I have ever seen. Usually roast beef sandwiches are stuffed with roast beef but not this place! However, place is clean and food taste fresh. A small menu of pastries, cakes, soups, salads and sandwiches.

    They are consistently good. The fruit pastry with cream cheese is my favorite, aa well as anything with walnut. I also like the cheese and tomato sandwich with mozzarella on bread that is super soft. The wellington sandwich was too salty.

    So I Anderson bakery the toaster machine is very old very dirty inside just giving you heads up to all the customers if you look at it you'll know what I'm talking about. Service is terrible that you act smart. They think you're dumb and they're smart. You know so just giving you a heads up about this machine that they need to be changed so you guys make a complain to the owner

    I work by the Anderson's at Fox Plaza. Their mocha cake is actually good. $40. Our team was pleasantly surprised and it was fresh.

    Ah, childhood memories of bread in a mall. It looks non-descript on the outside but the cafe is very clean on the inside and connected to some sort of office building, I imagine a lot of employees come here for a quick lunch or afternoon snack. I've always loved Anderson's cream cheese and strawberry danishes, and this location did not disappoint!

    "Grilled" Cheese: Ummm.... not toasty on one side.

    The pastries are good; the sandwiches are so-so. I've had two separate lunch experiences I was not thrilled with. The first I ordered a cup of tomato basil soup (which is actually really tasty and I like), but the cup was not filled all the way. The second time, I ordered a grilled cheese. I asked if I could have any sort of bread other then white bread and was told no. There were no changes allowed to the grilled cheese: cheddar cheese with white bread. Seems ridiculous to me that a bakery that specializes in selling sliced bread is unable to make a substitution, but I ordered it anyway. Unfortunately, when I opened the packaging the sandwich was only "grilled" on one side. The cheese was melty and good, but there's no excuse for the lack of toasting. I did not notice these things either time since I had taken the food to-go. It was just disappointing.

    It's been a little over a year since my first time trying B&C, and things have definitely changed…read moresince then--in a good way! I definitely feel like the team implementing the 7:45AM start time to line up has helped a lot. Not only is it better for the neighbors, but it also makes the whole experience feel a lot less chaotic compared to showing up super early and scrambling to get in line. Everything feels much calmer and organized now. As for the pastries: To be honest, it really depends on what you like. I'm one that gravitates towards pretty much anything with meat and chocolate. Because of that, most of their savory/meaty and creamy pastries are always a must for me. They're super flaky, flavorful and decadent. You can really tell how much time and effort they put into making everything as high quality as possible, especially since you can see them making everything from the window while waiting in line. All in all, I think there's been a lot of improvement over the past year with some trial and error. Their pastries have always been delicious and I personally think it's worth the wait. I recommend getting to the area closer to 7:45AM so you have a better chance of being towards the front of the line. If not, it's still better to come before opening, I just wouldn't recommend getting there right before they open. By then it's not guaranteed that you'll get everything you want since they do run out depending on how many people are there.

Their Hotplate drop every Tuesday at 12PM is literally a war zone, reminding me of trying to get VIP concert tickets on Ticketmaster. And sadly, I haven't been able to score another box since then but oh well, at least I won once lol. I came during my pickup window and there was already a line out the door, maybe 10-12 people. I've heard it can wrap around the block, so honestly this wasn't too bad. The bakery itself in this adorable white and pink building, with cute window details, and neon cake sign. Pre-orders can skip the line, so I went straight inside to collect my little box of victory. My small box came with four pastries: Twice Baked Bourbon Peaches & Cream, Cheesy Ratatouille, Mocha Graham Butterscotch Cruffin, and Strawberry Vanilla Bun. And I gotta be honest, I loved them ALL. The Bourbon Peaches & Cream was heavenly. The pastry was perfectly buttery and flaky, while the cream and filling were rich and smooth. Easily one of my favorites. I'm normally not a cheesy vegetable savory pastry person, but I had to try the Cheesy Ratatouille for the plot lol, and surprisingly it was delicious. The veggies were cooked just right and the combination of cheeses was phenomenal. Strawberry Vanilla Bun was a classic that couldn't go wrong, fresh strawberries, delicious cream, simple and so good. Sadly, I saved the Mocha Graham Butterscotch Cruffin for the next day and all that generous filling made it pretty soggy. It still tasted good, but the cruffin had lost that crispy, flaky texture. That's on me though, so I definitely need a redemption round in the future. Overall, Butter & Crumble is absolutely worth the hype AND the Tuesday 12PM battle. Hopefully one day I can win the war again because there are so many other pastries I still want to try!

    This locally famous SF bakery wasn't far from where I was staying with relatives during a short…read moretrip to the Bay Area last month. Pineapple King Bakery is a takeout suite in the Outer Sunset district. There was no available seating inside or outside. You can save time by preordering online and then coming by to pick up your goodies. Parking was really tough in this area with all of the curbside metered spots occupied. The line wasn't too bad when I stopped by on a weekend afternoon. Posters showing some of the different products were placed on the front windows along with a copy of the menu. You ordered at the service counter that was just a few feet inside the front entrance. Several of the baked goods were on display inside the glass case underneath the counter. A larger menu board hung behind the counter. You could see the army of workers busy in the kitchen preparing different items. Pineapple buns/puffs (bolo baos) of multiple varieties were the stars of the show. Buns with other fillings like BBQ pork, hot dog, coconut cream, etc were also available. Egg tarts, some pastries, and drinks (e.g. milk tea) rounded out the main categories. Combo boxes allowed for larger quantities to be purchased. Coming from the southern most part of this state, we don't have anywhere near the choices for pineapple buns like they have here. I purchased a Deluxe Box to give as a gift for my relatives. It consisted of four mini pineapple buns... Original Pineapple Puff, Matcha Pineapple Puff, Mango Pineapple Puff, Mini Pineapple Bun with butter. For myself, I bought a Pineapple Bun with guava butter, a BBQ Pork Pineapple Bun, and a Pineapple Bun with custard. The total for everything was less than twenty dollars, and the business accepted cash only. The pineapple buns had a milk bread base topped with a crackly, golden cookie-like crust. They were soft and of a decent size for the respective prices. The version with the guava butter was warmed up by the kitchen. They recommended that I consume it right away to appreciate the decadent butter. In hindsight, my only regret was not ordering at least one of the egg tart types to taste and compare to what's available in my hometown. I gave a 4.5 star rating for the products I sampled at Pineapple King Bakery and rounded up.

A friend and I decided to finally make the trek out to the Dogpatch, and it was worth the multiple Muni rides! To get a good mix of sweet and savory, we split the curry potato bourek and pistachio berry croissant. We arrived around 9:30 AM to no line, but as soon as we picked up our pastries, a line started to form out the door. I'm glad we split two pastries - they were both delicious but quite large for one person to finish solo. The curry potato bourek would have been better if it were served warmed up, but this pastry was still a winner for me. The pastry was light and flaky and provided a nice, buttery canvas for the curry potato filling. The pistachio berry croissant struck the ideal balance of pistachio to berry filling, and neither flavor overpowered the other. This pastry had excellent texture, with crispy edges and lots of buttery layers. Neighbor Bakehouse only serves drip coffee, so we enjoyed our pastries at a table outside before walking to a nearby coffee shop. I also had my eye on the bright purple ube croissant, which I'll have to try on my next visit.

I was fortunate to land one of the limited seats inside the bakery, although, there was also plenty of bench space in the parklet outside. The pizza crust was thin and crispy - with just the right amount of chew - and tasted slightly of sourdough. Topping-wise, the mushrooms were abundant but not overpowering; however, I wish there had been other vegetables to balance out the flavor. Paying less than $5 for a generously-sized slice (adorned with a mini slice on top) felt like a bargain, especially in SF. I would definitely make the trip back out here to give the pizza another try and to pick up some of the other baked goods.
