Unlike some other locations for the Andersen's Bakery chain, the staff get's their Almond Croissants mostly right! Right enough to visit more than once when I have my choice of other place to go while performing some professional services work nearby. Good job guys! read more

The cream cheese walnut bread thing is fantastic! Its rustic and flavorful and not full of sugar. Also, this is the cheapest bagel and cream cheese you'll find in the area ($1.64 or so). read more

Andersen Bakery - Veggie on little baguette - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've made frequent trips to this Andersen Bakery in the last two weeks, usually for snacks but once for lunch. The first time I came in about 3 PM and most of the bread/pastries were sold out by that time so I got a creamy french. The bread was nice and crunchy. I got a hot turkey pepperjack for lunch during the busy lunch hour this week and the tiny store got VERY crowded. The sandwich, nevertheless, was delicious - although I swear I get more avocado in my sandwich when I order at other Anderesens. In short, Andersen is a great place to get fresh pastries and yummy sandwiches on a large variety of bread. Be warned, their stock of baked goods seems to diminish rapidly after the lunch rush so it's best to hit the store early if there's something you're specifically looking for. Each time I've come here the staff has been very friendly and welcoming. read more

Slim picking in the neighborhood... like really slim. And Anderson's delivers. The people that work there are really nice too. I typically stick to the breakfast sandwich (request no butter cause they add additional butter which is just way too much), or the tuna melt on a sesame bagel. read more

Walked in a little bit before lunch. The sweet employee was helpful in assist in me to choose a snack. She gave me some good suggestions and gave me some samples. It's dangerous for my hips. I would return to try some more items. Other employees were bland, but the one who helped me was sweet. Their location is pretty clean. read more

I actually work across the street from this bakery. It is conveniently located for people who work in the area (and there are many of us) to pick up a quite bite. They have a good selection of pastry and snack. They also provide a pretty decent sit-in area where one can pick up a coffee and work from there. Why 3 stars? Well, none of the item on the menu makes me fee like "I must come back to Andersen for it". Some people complain they are over-priced but this I won't complain; it is in downtown San Francisco so what can we complain about? Nonetheless, I really do not find anything special about it that "I must go over to Andersen for", other than that it's conveniently located right across from my office. Hence, 3 stars from me. read more

I love this bakery. Their cranberry walnut bread is delicious; their cream cheese walnut pastry is amazing, etc! But, today they did something special with lovely little chocolate heart cakes covered in chocolate ganache! Yum! read more

They do wonderful breads and pastries. They are large decent portions without bieng too pricey but we are in SF. I love their breakfast sandwiches and the staff is very courteous. read more

It was great. Friendly service and an awesome breakfast sandwich. What better way to start the day!

I stopped in for a bagel + cream cheese on my way to the airport. After the trek to SFO and the ordeal that was security, I was so disappointed to take out my bagel and find it practically burned beyond recognition. I uploaded a photo just in case you think I am too picky about the extent of the toastedness of a bagel. I even gave them another chance a few weeks later and the 2nd bagel STILL came back charred (although slightly less charred than the 1st one). Go half a block down Market Street to Little Griddle. I've had two bagels there and both have been toasted to perfection. read more

Andersen Bakery - Bagel - burned beyond recognition. - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

I am a creature of habit and nothing brings me greater lunch pleasure than the delicious reliability of ordering my Veggie Feast sandwich or Tomato Raviolini soup online and having it waiting for me at Andersen's. The bread the sandwiches are made on is tasty and fresh (I recommend the country sour whole wheat), the soup is hot, the prices are reasonable and the service is friendly and consistent. Sometimes the line gets long or the small space gets hectic during the lunch hour, which is why I recommend ordering through their website and picking up in store so you can be in and out. Any time there has been an issue with my order, the staff at Andersen's has promptly helped me out as well. Lots of veggie sandwich options also!! read more

I ate a sandwich (Turkey Pepperjack) and drank a coke. It was a good combination. I enjoyed the sandwich the waitress pointed to me. Its natural and very light. Other interesting feature of this restaurant is care of waiter/waitress. The place is very nice too. I indicate this bakery for all who enjoy healthy foods and for those who use wi-fi this bakery has. Enjoy is this bakery. read more

LOVE seeing this in the area, fresh baked bread daily! You cannot go wrong! The prices represent the quality, and I really love the decor, though the staff could be a little nicer (grumble grumble). I prefer their onion cheddar bagel, their sourdough bread, and their apple bread. I haven't really had any of their pastries, sandwiches or desserts, but I keep seeing a sign for a bacon bun?! Everytime I go in, it's already gone - next time, for sure! read more

Decent quality chicken salad sandwich, but BLAND. Good choice for anyone who's flavor averse. Was super hopeful for a nice half sammy with a small tomato soup. I ordered the combo. For some odd reason I didn't get half sandwich, I got a whole sandwich. Combined with the fact that my tomato-soup-of-dreams was sub-par and contained little ravioli, it was too much food (calories). Sure, I could have not eaten the 2nd sandwich half...if I had any self-control! read more

Really awesome service with top notch food. The sandwiches are really great, and the staff are always open to customising them however you need. It'd be great to get some gluten free options in addition to the multitude of other types of bread they offer. read more

I love Anderson Bakery! This location is not one of my favorites though. Staff at the register was not friendly, the store was not very clean. In over all I did not feel welcome as a customer. I will not go back to this location. I love Anderson food, tuna salad sandwich is my to go as well as chicken salad sandwich. I will keep looking for other locations! I am a fan of you Anderson but this location sorry sucks ! read more

Friendly staff and a good selection of breakfast-type breads, both sweet and savory. Grab a cheese danish or ham & cheese croissant to go with your coffee. Better prices than expected for this kind of thing balances the neighborhood. The onion-cheddar bagel was far more sweet onion than cheddar, and I've found that their bagels are much lighter and fluffier than most, more like an English muffin than the dense bagel I expect. That may be good for some people, but as ex-girlfriends have occasionally mentioned, I can sometimes seem more on the dense side. ;) read more

I got the tomato caprese and avocado sandwich. While it was tasty, I was a little annoyed with how it was put together -- ingredients were a bit haphazardly arranged on my baguette. For the price, I think it should be a bit more neat, with ingredients more evenly distributed. I picked up the same sandwich for my dad and he loved it, but then again he was really hungry and pretty much loves anything when he's that hungry. There's a long line around lunch time and you'll have to wait probably 10 minutes (or more) to get your sandwich. read more

Conveniently located in Fox Plaza building across from Starbucks and the PostOffice quick 2 block walk up Market from my apartment at 33 8th Street. Reasonable delicious fresh bakery bread and pastries. They make hugh sandwiches! Loved my raisin apple bread and garlic butter French bread! Soft bread not hard as a rock like other bread I got across the street. The bread doesn't break a tooth if toasted lol. read more

I just had the best cold sandwich I've ever tasted. I got the mozzarella turkey on sourdough, and all the ingredients were fresh and delicious. The pickle spear was even exceptional. I'll definitely be back. read more

I had the caprese sandwich for lunch today and it was amazing! It's under the vegetarian choices and is served warm. With this sandwich downstairs in my office I am going to have to write it into my budget because it just became my new favorite sandwich. The oil and mozzarella and basil and avocado were all perfect and satisfying. read more

I was not so happy this most recent visit for the following reason: I noticeed a counter person that handles food sneeze rather violently into her hands - two or three times. So I observed her for a few minutes and although she seemed to hesitate momentarily, and look around, she NEVER WASHED HER HANDS. She simply kept handling food and giving it to customers. GLAD it was not my food, but aren't there some rules? Shouldn't it be a sensible idea to WASH YOUR HANDS after you sneeze all over them. With this flu season being so bad why doesn't a FOOD WORKER know enough to be CLEAN? Yuck, I don't know if I can ever go back here after seeing that. It makes me wonder what goes on that I don't see the rest of the time. read more

I love their breads and pastries. Having this location nearby is so dangerous because its easy to pop in before work and grab a cheese danish. Now I want one. read more

Honestly, I feel they should stick to baking bread. The items used for sandwiches and salads aren't fresh. The meat especially reminds me of cafeteria type food. If i return it would only be cause there are no salad places by my place of work. read more

This is one of my favorite places to go for a sandwich at lunch. The interior is clean and always has open seating. The ham and cheese sandwich is among the best. If you tell them your order is to stay, they will serve everything on china, including hot beverages. I like that too. read more

Went to the Civic Center location (in Fox Plaza) to grab a quick sandwich for lunch. California BLT was calling my name so that was the order, to go. Opened it up when I got back to the office and it's some soggy, eggplant, mozzarella sandwich. Now I'm out $7.50, pissed and hungry with no time to get anything else but vending machine cuisine! YUMMY...thanks guys!! Was my first and LAST time giving Anderson Bakery my money! If you do go...check your order before you leave. read more

I was so happy to see a new place open in this building, but when I found out it was Andersen Bread I was super excited. I love their Saffron Twists and their hot sandwiches are pretty good too. I have yet to try their deserts, but they sell pretty quickly from what I can tell, so they must be good. The staff is super friendly and they are starting to recognize me, since I go in so often for a twist. read more

I must admit I was not a fan of this place in the beginning, but the employees have been very nice to me since. The service isn't bad and the coffee is good enough for me to enjoy. The pastries aren't too bad either! read more

Really good bread, good sandwiches, and nice people. However, not great when it comes to special requests. Literally half the time my "no tomatoes" request goes unfulfilled, as does my "add turkey" request, which is a bigger deal b/c of the extra charge. Obviously not a huge deal, but it is slightly annoying. I walk a bit further to Ted's if I really want to make sure I get the sandwich that I order. Get it together, Andersens! As Sweet Brown might say, "aint nobody got time for the wrong sandwich!" read more

Two stars seems a bit mean, but according to Yelp it represents "Meh....I've had better," which is my sentiment when it comes to this establishment. I generally only come here when I don't pack a lunch, since it is at the bottom of my building. Their pastry and bread products are OK - the cookies and the baguettes are stale though. I generally stick with the spicy turkey sandwich. It's definitely better than subway. My biggest complaint is that the sometimes it seems like they are just being really cheap with what they give you. I bought a salad once and the lettuce was slimy from going bad. Another time I bought soup and there was barely any in the container. I bought a bagel with cream cheese and it seemed like they warmed it up in the microwave since it was squishy and chewy with no crunch! (You're a bakery, buy a toaster!!). Tonight, I got a sandwich, which they usually serve with a pickle and bread, and I didn't even get a napkin. I'm sure I'll be going back though, since I'm too lazy to leave the building. read more

Staffs here deserves a 5stars. I stop by here every morning before going to work to buy some goodies/bread and a coffee (as an alternative cafe brand of my choice), they would always great you with a smile especially the cashier guy which I wasn't able to get his name. But I know we know each other by face. So another FIVE STAR for you Cahier Guy! read more

Stay away at all costs. Their pre packaged salads looked like they were prepared in 1995. Chicken looks so disgustingly manufactured and inedible, lettuce leaves are yellowing and wilting, and the Parmesan cheese smelled so abnormally foul. Sadly I received food poisoning from their Caesar salad. I won't be returning ever. read more

I've purchased their cranberry walnut bread and it's been 5 star consistently. Its 6 dollars a loaf, but well worth it.

I used to go to Grain D'Or at the mall with my mom when I was a little girl. I remember eating the strawberry danish there. It was heavenly. When I found out that Andersen Bakery had them, I had go when I was in town. I bought about six to go. I was a little nervous that maybe I'd hyped them up in my head for 22 years and they wouldn't be as good, but they were just as heavenly. The service could have been crappy or the bakery filthy for all I cared (it was friendly and the place was clean), as long as the danish was good. read more

Their sandwiches are delicious! So far I've tried their mozzarella and eggplant and caprese. I've also tried their black sesame bagel with cream cheese. Everything has been tasty, the service is fast and friendly and prices are very reasonable. I intend to keep going back and sampling some more goodies; their creme brulee looks particularly tasty! read more

Decent place to grab a croissant and some coffee in the morning. Friendly service and pretty quick. Seems like a morning commuter stop to me :) read more

Pretty decent breakfast sandwiches. They make a warm egg, ham and cheese on foccacia bread which turns out to be super yummy! And for lunch, the tuna salad sandwich was pretty decent too. The key is the fresh bread and good ingredients. Definitely a quality deli. read more

Standard sandwich place. Good service. Love the chicken avocado on soft french bread.

This review is on the customer service of this lady (filipino or samoan??). I find her disrespectful and rude to certain customers such as me. I've been there several times as it is close to where I work. I feel this filipino lady has bias on certain customers. She is much more friendly on the repeated customers who wear suits. Today I felt disrespected by her service. I was waiting patiently in line as she was impatiently and giving an attitude training the new staff who was trying to learn. They were serving a customer in front of me. Then later that filipino lady assisted this guy right away who came in minutes after me and was not even in line. She served him and took his payment as I was still patiently waiting in line. I could tell he was a repeated customer by their interactions. She was really friendly to him. But when it came my turn, she greeted me with a dark, unfriendly face. She has always been horrible. Anyways, I will not go back anymore because she is very disrespectful to certain customers and only choose customers she likes to be friendly with. I like Andersen Bakery's bread, but this would be the branch I would not go to again because of horrible customer service time and time again by this filipino lady. If she leaves Andersen for good, I'll definitely go back! Also, the bread is not completely fresh because I saw them take out the bread I ordered from the fridge at the front and heat them up for me.... read more

This place is new to the area, and I'm a fan, though I've only had their sour dough bread, EVERY type of bagel they offer, and (of course) the coffee. The bread is pretty good, but I'M BIG FAN of their bagels - I often go in and buy whatever bagels they have left, the onion cheddar is just to die for and goes very well inplace of a bun for a cheeseburger or sandwhich. The prices are fair enough considering the quality of what you get - apparently, they make ALL their bread fresh every morning - it's local too, I think the bakery is in east bay somewhere. Also, thank GOD for this location, there really isn't much else in the area besides starbucks (boo!). They serve Peerless coffee, which is okay, but I wish they served something a little better tasting. The staff is friendly enough, but I wish they were a little nicer/happier/more interesting to talk to. read more
