This bakery has the most DELICIOUS seasonal fruit frangipane tarts I've ever had in my life!…read moreWhoever makes these tarts is a magician and I make my way to this bakery every weekend to get some of these tarts, 100% worth it. We always get some of their other pastries while we're there and they always taste delicious too. Huge thank you to Juliemarie for emailing me about the tarts I asked about and making it happen! The staff here are also all very friendly and the atmosphere is very nice, especially the cute garden in the backyard.

I'm not so into chi chi 'hoods, and this one isn't upscale. And you can park here. BUT I want cake. There is never cake here despite what the website says. I can't tell if they just don't make cakes at this location or if they are always sold out by the time I can get there about an hour before closing? I really wanted to try the oolong pineapple rose cake because that's a flavor combination I would never have considered. And guess what? It was fabulous! How do I know? Cuz I DoorDashed it from the Valencia St. location which is 1) chi chi and 2) not a place anyone can get to anymore because of the parking/bike lane situation (see my SFMTA bashing reviews for that saga.) But back to the cake ...don't be scared off by its slightly menacing appearance (it looks like you couldn't get it through airport security) It is super tasty and unique! Hopefully you can get there early enough to try it in situ.

It is incredibly cozy and welcoming. I got a flat white, $4? I enjoyed the coffee in the corner, enjoying the morning and sparked a conversation with a local. The guy running the space is a strong one man show! I love coffee shops like this, it feels like you're in your SF community. You're supporting real neighbors running their business. I highly recommend stopping by with friends. It's such a great gem in Glen Park!

The restaurant setup is more self-service than we expected. You have to order at the counter, grab…read moreyour own utensils and drinks, and the only menu is posted on the wall, which is hard to read. It would really help if they had printed menus and clearer descriptions of what comes with each plate. Also, they only accept cash or Venmo, a sign outside letting customers know ahead of time would be helpful. The food itself was okay but pretty bland. The omelets and potatoes lacked seasoning, and the toast was just plain buttered bread. Overall, it felt basic for the price. Unfortunately, we probably won't be returning, as there are other better breakfast spots nearby that offer more value and flavor.

The line around noon wasn't too bad, and it moved quickly since most people in line knew the drill and had their items ready to go. I ordered the slice-of-the-day, which turned out to be a mushroom + spinach + mozzarella combo. I placed my order at the counter and was handed a hot slice of pizza about five minutes later. 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.

On Mission street there is the annual King of the Streets event and on the same block this event is held is a neighborhood staple for decades that sells bake goods and some pastries that are a hybrid of Chinese and Latin American flavors. Between 24th and 25th on Mission street you will find Kings Bakery. People of the neighborhood in the Mission come here for delicious sweet bread and pastries which are Chinese and Latin American. You will see pan dulce( sweet bread) which pairs well with coffee in the morning and throughout the day. There are plenty of different pan dulce like concha's and they also have cupcakes. This is also a good place to pick up pastries and cakes to celebrate Dia de Los Reyes ( The Three Kings Day) which is coming up in a few months.

They make both traditional HK and Mexican pastries, which is pretty cool. You can find coconut buns, pineapple buns, french bread rolls, Mexican conchas, and a ton more, as well as a variety of cakes in the fridge section. It's self-serve, so you grab a tray, pick what you want, and check out when you're done. There's a couple small tables on the side of the bakery for you to sit and eat at. We tried the pineapple bun and a chocolate concha. I think the bolo topping could've been a little thicker and baked a little longer, but that's personal preference. Bun was a tad dry. Concha was similar -- dry bun and the topping was kind of powdery, so the mouthfeel was kind of unpleasant. Regardless, happy to support this little gem of a place that's been part of the community for generations. Seems like coconut buns are the thing to get, so I'll try that next time.

Delicious pastries! Service is also quick…read more I work close by so I'm happy this opened up. So far I've tasted the guava concha, almond croissant and mochi muffin. All have been really great. I love the mochi muffin the most. The guava concha wasn't dry and the filling was delicious. I would've liked it to be more spread out through the bread but it was still good as is. I ordered the mocha and that was also delicious. It may be a bad thing for my body that they're open but a good thing for my heart haha

Food: Passion fruit kouign amann - okay, nice light passion fruit curd in the center with a balanced sweetness and mild acidity, lamination was there but pastry ate a bit dry and bread not much buttery flavor Pistachio Chocolate Croissant - okay, bakery took a chocolate croissant split open and added pistachios creme and a pistachio topping and lightly twice baked, also light on the butter, chocolate flavor was good, pistachio filling wish the frangipane was baked a bit more and blend in more with the chocolate Service was good, quick efficient and friendly. Order pastries at the counter, they ring you up at the register and provided utensils for dine in which was a nice touch. Water was self serve, bathrooms are available in the bakery. Overall pastries were okay, felt a bit stale and flat in comparison to other bakeries in SF. If you like a slight leaner pastry this might be for you. Appreciate the variety available, no line and ample space and seating make this a good option for a snack and getting some work done. Might be an off day so would consider revisit.

If I had stuck to the biscuits, this would be a 5 star review.

We ordered:…read more- Asparagus egg salad sandwich: I wasn't sure if I would like this but it blew me out of the water. The bun was the softest milk bread texture in a hamburger bun shape, the egg salad was perfect (not too mayo-y, not too sweet), the asparagus was tempura fried which contrasted nicely with the peppery arugula and spicy pickled mustard greens(?) (coming from a non mustard girl!). A truly unique play on a traditional egg salad sandwich - Black sesame cookie: a sandy shortbread style cookie filled with not too sweet caramel. The bitter black sesame and sweet caramel balanced each other and the cookie was the perfect sweet treat size - The kaya bun: very messy to eat as the concha-style topping crumbled off with any movement. I think it would be better to get their OG kaya toast (though I couldn't see it on the menu but saw people with it, so ask about it) - Black sesame cappuccino: this was more of a miss. I felt the black sesame was too strong compared to the espresso so I felt like I was drinking straight syrup, but it was also not sweet enough? I also feel like this drink would be better in a ceramic mug rather than paper togo cup but it didn't look like an option Logistics: - Indoor seating is further inward in converted warehouse, not right next to cafe. Outdoor seating directly in front of cafe - Limited street parking nearby but walking distance from bus and muni T line

We had two different kinds of milk, breads, croissant, oh the basque cheesecake was to absolutely die for it was so good. We got the breakfast sandwich which had a bit of a kick to it, but it was really good. A ham and cheese sandwich and the shrimp patty sandwich. All of them were amazing. It's fun to eat there because you can watch people playing pickle ball or paddle ball. I don't know what it's called. I really loved my latte and my carrot orange juice that was freshly squeezed. We found parking, but it wasn't so plentiful.
