    The little shop on the corner of California & Kearny
    Uli B.

    I love this little outlet of Batter Bakery - it's conveniently located on my way to work and I oftentimes stop by to buy a little something for a co-workers who helped me on a project: you can't imagine what a peanutbutter-cup cookie will do for your relationship with your office mates! Their brownies are excellent and so are the cupcakes; especially the carrot cake cupcakes.

    Sand Angel Cookie ($2.50) Did the prices go up recently or something? o.O My sand angel cookie tasted quite different (not as great) than when I had it last time. I was a bit disappointed. hmm... I came on Friday at 7:30am. They opened at 7:30am and they were just setting up. Nothing was quite ready and the lady working at the kiosk looked a bit frazzled. She still had a lot of baked goods to unload and organize. I felt a bit bad for her cause there was already a line forming! O_O All these crazy women wanting their sweets at 7:30 in the morning! My golly! The worst possible question you could ask a frazzled lady in a kiosk is, "What do you recommend?" And that's what I'd asked. hahaha I wanted to see more of what they had and wanted to try something new, but of course not all the items were put out yet. =\ If it's your first visit, I'd recommend NOT coming right when they open. Give them time to set up and help the people who know what they want first. I'd maybe recommend sometime after 9am/10am?

    I really try to limit my sugar intake on a regular basis...but I couldn't help myself and had to try Batter Bakery. The kiosk on California St. really only allows one customer to browse and buy at a time, but there wasn't a line when I went (before the lunch rush), so all was fine. The staff member was really nice, friendly, and helpful. I mentioned that it was my first time there and she recommended the scones and the sand angel cookies, so I got one of each, along with a piece of banana bread. I got back to the office and taste tested each of them. They were SO good. I'm used to eating cookies that are overloaded with sugar to the point that I'll put them down and never pick them up again, but that wasn't the case here. The sand angel was sweet but had a depth of flavor--a combination of gingerbread and snickerdoodle and jus some yummy goodness. It was packed with flavor, so I didn't eat it in one sitting, but I went back to it throughout the afternoon. The brown butter banana bread was the same way. It was perfectly sweet, moist, and flavorful. I could taste actual fresh ingredients, which made all the difference. The pear scone was tasty, moist, and fluffier than store-bought ones, which I appreciated. I can't wait to try more. Also, don't forget to ask for a punch card. Once you purchase 12 items, you get one free!

    Recommended by my name twin, this sweet little kiosk is strangely located on the corner of Kearny (correction!) and Montgomery and hard to miss. They have the cutest and scrumptious looking desserts!! I got a lemon cupcake, which was kinda small for $3 but sooo satisfying. The cake was moist and light and the cream cheese lemon frosting tasted alot lighter than Sprinkles but still packed on big flavors. My cousin got a sour something lemon something muffin. It was good :P Chocolate chip cookie samples! Melty chocolate and semi-crunchy cookie... mmmMmmMMMmm It's a delicacy so kind of pricey. What a treat.

    Great cookies (especially when heated up!) but stinky attitude of one of the servers.

    This beautiful kiosk catches my eye every time I walk by, today I decided to give it a try. Walking in, the selection was great, catering to every type of craving. However, I was not greeted and the worker looked like he was in a bad mood. Before I walked in, he was picking his nose, maybe that was my sign not to go in. But considering it was their happy hour I wanted a bargain. This location is great because it has lots of foot traffic. This is borderline Chinatown and attracts lots of tourists! The Cookies were delicious and made big enough to share.

    I'm definitely in love with this adorable kiosk. It looks like it should be a flower shop or newspaper stand, but instead it's filled with fresh baked goods attractively displayed in glass jars and paper bags stamped with Batter Bakery's logo. The big thick cookies, brownies, and bars all look tempting. They were out of cupcakes that afternoon. I saw that they sell Siggi's yogurt - my favorite yogurt - and homemade granola. You can tell by looking at everything that they bake with love (the baking occurs in SF). The shortbreads come in interesting flavors like sesame ginger, honey vanilla, lavender sea salt, orange pistachio, etc. I bought a pack of 10 all honey vanilla shortbread cookies ($5.50) and they came tied with a brown satin ribbon. Oh, the flower shapes were adorable. The cookies were thick and soft. Most shortbread that I've had tends to be dry but theirs wasn't. It was amazingly good. They smelled faintly of honey and were sprinkled with crunchy raw sugar. It's a shame they don't have room to sell drinks. I would love some hot tea to go with my shortbread cookies. Apparently if you arrive early, you'll see scones, muffins, granola, coffeecake and quick breads (breakfast items).

    I consider myself lucky. I work near Chinatown (translation: cheap food), and I get to walk through the Financial District every day (translation: hot guys in suits). Another thing that makes my day is the fact that there's a bakery right on the corner of California and Kearny. I finally took a few minutes out of my day to stop by Batter after passing by for the past few months. There were people in line, and they all seemed to know what they wanted, so it went quickly. I asked the girl what was good, and she pretty much gave a brief description of each thing (brownies, scones, shortbreads, cookies). Information overload plus a guy waiting behind me led me to make the quick decision to get a Pluot Pecan Scone and a Chocolate Hazelnut Shortbread. The total was $4.75. 5 stars for the scone; it was moist and fluffy, and the pluots gave it a nice tang. It's a very large scone, so sharing is ideal unless you're a greedy hungry girl like myself. 3 stars for the shortbread, although my coworker really liked it. It wasn't light and buttery enough for me, and it almost tasted like it had too much brown sugar or something. I really wish I had more time to browse and look at the other items (didn't see cupcakes), but I didn't want to hold up the line since it's such a tiny kiosk, and everyone already seemed to know what they wanted (brownies). But I will definitely stop by whenever there's no line, so I can more carefully peruse the cute little baked goods.

    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!

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.

The honeycomb itself was sweet and crunchy and you can either pick it out and eat it or stir it into your drink and let it melt.

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.
