We ADORE Black Jet Baking Co! We live right up the street and frequent Black Jet nearly every weekend. You honestly can't go wrong with anything on their menu. We love their breakfast sandwiches, croissants, quiches, and fruit tarts and were HUGE fans of their strata and hope it returns (weekends only, temporarily off the menu since they re-opened in a limited capacity post-COVID). We love Black Jet so much, we also had them make our wedding cake this year! After deciding to postpone our big wedding to 2021 due to COVID, we eloped at the SF Botanical Gardens and knew immediately that we should order our cake from Black Jet for our small backyard reception. We decided on devil's food cake with vanilla buttercream icing and it was DIVINE! Nothing but love for this fab Bernal Heights bakery :) read more

Banana pie was good; Apple pie was okay with a heavier crust. I personally didn't like the apple of choice used.

The salted honey maple pie is heaven in a pan. The chicken pot pie is also very delicious! THIS CRUST IS INSANE. Great service and amazing food. Second order and will be coming back again! read more

Cute neighborhood bakery (no seating) that is an open walk-up storefront with the baking done in the back. The street has a wonderful eclectic mix of eateries and shops, but also has challenging metered street parking. Overall my SO and I thought the pastries here were interesting though not to our taste. The almond croissant had a lot going on - slivered almonds on the outside but a filling consisting of bits of almonds mixed in a thick caramel-like gooey jam (apple? apricot?). It was dense. The morning bun was nicely flavored with cinnamon sugar and looked beautiful but was doughy/chewy. There were 3 people behind the counter. One woman was cheerful, enthusiastic and helpful. The other 2 looked totally disinterested and disengaged from the customers. Not a good look for the business. read more

Used to eat a whole bag of Oreo cookies w/my younger brother when we were kids. Glass of milk from the gallon of Safeway- Lucerne brand. No longer able to eat that many oreos these days! Now trying a different bakery version made w/better ingredients and add a shot of espresso for the morning! Oh, Black Jet makes very delicious pastries as well! read more

Coffee is way too bitter for my taste and the staff was not friendly the one time I went. I live in the neighborhood but I won't be back. I like my coffee with a smile. read more

I frequent Black Jet on Sunday mornings after my walk to usually grab some breakfast before the day starts. Really disappointing to find a hair baked into my cookie today. I really enjoy all the pastries they offer and their employees are very friendly. Just a little off putting to discover the hair as I was about to eat the cookie. read more

Black Jet Baking Co.'s avocado toast is a real treat. The sourdough is thick, warm, and delightfully chewy, creating a perfect base. There's a blend of flavors of the bread, the avocado with and the well-seasoned toppings create a satisfying mix of bitterness. While I haven't explored much beyond their avocado toast, the quick service and always-friendly staff makes it a go-to spot. As a regular customer, their consistently tasty avocado toast keeps me coming back for more. On the weekends there is often a line of customers. As you await your order, it might require stand but it's worth the wait. read more

There is usually a bread line here of anxious bread and pastry lovers who are hoping their favorite selections haven't run out. I noticed that nearly everyone adds to their order: after requesting a sandwich, there is a pause followed by a request for a loaf of bread followed by an order of croissants and a oh by the way add three cookies please. One learns to be patient on the bread line because of the add-ons; besides, one has to account for the short hours the bakery is open. If you don't order all your favorites now, it may be another week before they become available again. I love the pumpernickel loaf, available in limited quantities only on Saturdays, the small but intense coconut macaroons, and the flakey plain croissants. The latter is enjoyed at home with homemade Meyer lemon marmalade and smoky Czar Alexandre tea. read more

This is one of those tiny San Francisco bakeries that people line up around the corner for every morning. Everything looks great, but all I tried was the chicken pot pie. We needed to fetch lunch for a group, and this dish is listed on the 2021 7x7 100 Things to Eat in SF Before You Die. The list featured take-out options this year instead of the usual restaurants. The pie is a full-size pastry, not the typical small individual serving. The crust is delicate and light, yet buttery and savory. It's hard to describe: not quite a typical pie crust, but not quite a millefeuille, either. Whatever it is, it's delicious. The filling is good, too: loaded with shredded chicken and chunky vegetables. The pie is crust heavy, and not overly soupy. We had to buy the pie frozen and pop it in the oven at home, which guaranteed it was hot and fresh when we ate it. read more

I really enjoy their cakes! So my 5-starts is based only on that. I have just not tried much else. That said, everything in the bakery case looks delicious. But, back to the cakes. My personal favorite is vanilla cake with chocolate icing. But all of their cakes that I have eaten have been excellent. If you are looking for something a little fun and colorful, the funfetti cake is a solid choice. Their cakes are the right balance of flavorful and moist with just enough density to be hearty without being to firm. I will say that if you like cake that is super light and airy, this may not be the cake for you. But if you like a more decadent cake, I totally recommend it. They also deserve a shout-out for their service. I needed to add a name to a cake at the 11th hour, and even though they had already put the inscription on the cake, they were able to squeeze another on without it looking crazy. read more

My husband and I got married in September 2019, and it was important to us that all the food, drink, and vendors be from the Bay Area. We contacted Gillian about baking vegan pies for our desserts, and though she doesn't normally make vegan stuff, she was very open to the challenge. She helped talk me through what fruits would be in season during September and then she made us two sample pies, free of charge, to test before committing -- both of which were delicious, of course. For the big day, she delivered 15 amazing vegan pies for us on time and with great communication. The pies were AMAZING. Everyone at our wedding commented how that was the best part - and no one knew they were vegan! The crusts were to die for. We will always be greatful to Black Jet for making our wedding pie dreams come true and for making our Saturday morning routine complete. We stop in every weekend for coffee and a cinnamon morning bun. Support your local baker -- get your tasty treats at Black Jet! read more

I can't thank the staff and manager of Black Jet enough for staying late to allow me to pick up my fiancée's birthday cake after closing time. Everyone here is so impossibly nice. And the carrot cake was an absolute hit. Undoubtedly, the best carrot cake I've ever had. Thank you, thank you, thank you. read more

Wow! This is the baking company I didn't know I needed. DELICIOUS!!!! I ordered a banana cream and a chocolate silk pie for my son's birthday and these pies were out of the world delicious. I like the banana cream better than Tartine's because there is no chocolate lining and the pie crust still heavenly. We also tried the strawberry pop tarts (comes with sprinkles), croissants and cookies. All were DELICIOUS. Order in advance and then just pick up. Thank you! read more

Every. Single. Item. Is. Amazing. The coconut macaroons will convert coconut haters into lovers. The everything snail is divine. The morning bun is perfection. Even better (than perfection....so, perfecter) is if you can get home to heat it up just a tad. read more

Ordered the Mothers Day cake and it was a hit! The layers of cake were moist and not over-the-top sweet! Love, love, love their pastries and cakes. Can't go wrong with this bakery! Muah!! read more

Delicious and well-baked pastries. Tasty coffee. A nice mix of savory and sweet options. Pleasant and congenial hosts!

Stayed in Bernal heights for a week and had the pleasure of trying black jet. The snail and the ham and cheese croissant are like mana from heaven for savory breakfast stans like me. Would fully recommend to anyone. read more

Written by Avery (10 years old): Probably my favorite bakery ever. I always get the ham and cheese croissant which is a delicious pastry. I am now in love with it. I sometimes get the blackberry scone and I usually hate scones but I tried this scone and it is so delicious. I also sometimes get the sticky bun which is quite good. The bread pudding is a delicious treat that is very rich, sweet (but not too sweet) and very very filling. My little brother always gets the morning bun and nothing else. The morning bun is great if you like pastries covered with sugar. read more

Recently ordered a banana cream pie from this bakery for my partner's birthday! Customer service was on point, I decided to email them to place my order for the pie (which is available through their online ordering already) since the pick up dates are only released on a weekly basis and I wanted to place an order earlier than that. The response time was quick! I'm very satisfied on that end. Since I'm vegan I couldn't try the pie myself so the pie review is on behalf of my partner and what he said. He loved it! He said the pie filling isn't too sweet and the banana isn't too overwhelming. Overall very balanced flavor and he says that the cream was nice and light and that he could tell it was made in-house and with care. He loved the pie crust as well. He says oftentimes many pie crusts he's had are hard and crunchy but not this one! He said it was flaky, a bit crispy and light. The bakery itself is cute and homey and the folks working were very nice. Definitely recommend! read more

My sense told me Black Jet Baking Co was going to be good. I smelled the butter before I even approached the top of the line. My nose does not lie, because Black Jet Baking Co is the real deal. I tried a selection of their pastries, and homemade oreos this Thanksgiving week, and my family and I unanimously and enthusiastically agreed that their croissants were the best item we ate all week. Full stop. Here's what we tried: pumpkin croissant, regular croissant, fruit scone, and homemade oreos. My favorite item was the pumpkin croissant and my least favorite was the fruit scone. For scale, the pumpkin croissant was mind blowingly - I attempted to go back the next day (but they were already closed) - tell all my friends - delicious, and the fruit scone was delicious. The pumpkin scone was buttery, savory, and mildly sweet. It was filled with a pumpkin paste, had layers and layers, and a satisfying crunch. All items are displayed in their window, and they also serve coffee. Items are reasonably priced for the quality and size. I'll 100% be back. Bonus: their website tells me it's Woman-Owned. read more

the macaroons are to die for... my husband made me bring the breakfast fruit pop tarts back to Florida and my daughter's birthday cake was scrumptious. you will never find a better bakery anywhere in the states. read more

The pastries are dry and terrible. Like sandpaper. The staff are rude. And they overcharged me by billing my card twice. There are much better bakeries with better customer service. Please avoid this bakery. I also don't want to spend money at businesses that don't let you inside, but make you loiter outside. Not a nice way to treat paying customers. read more

I can't even with this place. The cupcakes, the cookies, the peanut butter and jelly croissant, the macaroons, the focaccia pizzas and sandwiches are all incredible. As a new bernal resident it is so amazing to not have to get in a car and drive to a top notch incredible bakery! We had a warm blackberry scone the other day that was absolute heaven perfection (and I don't even like scones as I often find them too dry) - this was the right about of moist/crunchy, yummyness. I'm salivating just thinking about black Jett! Actually, I think I'll go tomorrow! read more

Love this place. The only place I can get a Rhubarb pie in the bay. Little pricey but worth it.

After seeing people waiting around for breakfast sandwiches every weekend, we decided to give these a try before heading out for a hike. Frankly, I don't get it. The sandwiches were all pre-assembled, so there is no opportunity to customize. There's just a vegetarian option, and a ham. The roll is nice, but there was so much of the super spicy (to my palate anyway) spread that I had to toss the top bun and replace it with a slice of bread at home. read more

Ordered this 6" pumpkin pie for thanksgiving using Good Eggs, this is my first time ordering from this bakery. I got it for the smaller size. 1 star because Yelp doesn't have 0 stars. This is what I received: $11.00 for 90% of hard filling pulling from the crust, sunken, cracking. Haven't tried it yet, but hope it tastes better than it looks...I certainly can't present this and surprised Good Eggs promotes this bakery. I won't be ordering from them again. This is pretty horrible and I actually might just chuck this and have to buy another pie. Somewhere else. read more

I come here at least once a week because my kids have gymnastics nearby and endlessly demand snacks but if there was a better alternative I'd go there. I just feel ... uncomfortable there. Like you order and they stare at you.... Extremely hipster vibe, but it's... cookies.... How can you be cold and standoffish about cookies? I don't get it. It's really expensive. What is the upside? I leave there every week feeling like a stepped inside a parallel universe where I tried to buy diamonds using scratch off tickets or something. I don't get it!! I'm asking to buy the things you sell! Why are you so weird about it!?!? I may be done... read more

After a failed attempt at making sourdough myself, I realized I needed to leave my loaves to the professionals. I recently moved to Bernal, so didn't know this place existed yet, but figured I would support somewhere within walking distance. Turns out Black Jet Baking is absolutely amazing! During covid-19, they are doing online orders with pickup at the shop (and are partnering with a delivery service). I got the Bernal Bread and Jam Bars. Bernal Bread: 5/5 Actually shaped like sandwich bread, which I really prefer compared to the crescent shape of many artisanal sourdough loaves. Great open crumb on the inside. Lovely tangy flavor. Jam Bars: 5/5 These are my ideal breakfast bars. I love sweet breakfasts, but the apricot jam had a nice sour balance to the sweetness of the bar. There were a ton of oats, and they added a great texture to the bar. For both of these items, the most difficult thing has been to resist eating the entire thing all at once! read more

Dang. This place is good. Hole in the wall bakery with some delicious savory options, too. Today, we tried the BLT (sans B and w avo) on a pretzel bun, garden bulkie, and chocolate chip cookie. My garden bulkie has cucumber, sprouts, and pickled onions. Both sandwiches came with a pickled carrot on the side. I wish they were closer, but I'm also glad they're not too close if you know what I mean. I could easily eat here everyday. I'd like to try everything in the bakery. That's my new resolution. Also, reasonable prices. Our 2 sandwiches, cookie and lemonade were $17. read more

Great cupcakes and better prices than other places. Order in advance if it's a lot! Staff is helpful and accommodating. They are always just in the mornings read more

Great little bakery! They're really easy to place an order and pick-up. I was able to get 15+ or so pastries and danishes in the am before a workshop for work, and they were all delicious! I think the fruit danishes are the highlights - they're both so pretty to look at as they are tasty! I heard these guys are still doing pop-ups delivery in this time of covid-19, so I am excited for that. read more

Friendly service, very very good pastries, their scones, ham and cheese croissant, and danishes are very tasty. The Coffee is pretty good too. Overall great experience everytime I go. Black Jet Bakery is in the S Tier read more

Oreo flavors are incredibly accurate but better! Jason thought the cookie would be soft but It was crunchy and the filling soft and creamy, really good. Jason ordered the Strawberry Poptart too. The pastry was buttery and flaky and the filling was good. Jason will probably get the Oreos again but will definitely be back for the Poptart! read more

First timer, but needed something sweet after my lunch feast. Everything looked good, homemade Oreo cookie thingies, mini apple pies and such. But the lemon tart kept calling to me. We had walked away at first since we'd just consumed Roli Roti, but the thought of that tart lemony treat made me corral the man back towards Black Jet. My husband was being indecisive and decided he had to have a donut, whatever.... Let him go, I know what I must have and it's calling to me. So I get my sugary treat and let me tell you, yes it was messy and gooey and oh so lemony luscious. And was just what the doctor ordered (that's Dr. Sugar to you). I'm sure all those other delectable treats are just as delish, so maybe I'll have to go back soon. read more
