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.

Parking: None, chinatown will be impossible street/meter parking…read more Interior: None, this is a order/pick up window. If the shop is open you will see a line. Wait Time: 10min on a weekend afternoon. I got lucky and saw it was open beginning of this year before crowds found out. Their hours are not accurate so just up to chance. Items Order: 9/10 Egg Tart $3.75 - larger than average egg tart. It comes piping hot and fresh. the shell is very buttery but holds well. custard is very hongkong style (eggy/milky vs the custardy Portuguese version). Sweetness level is about 50% so not that sweet. CASH ONLY

B. Patisserie is pure pastry excellence. The kouign-amann is still the best in the city…read moreshatteringly crisp, deeply caramelized edges with a soft, buttery interior. I also got the chocolate banana almond croissant and it was ridiculous (in the best way). Flaky, rich, and perfectly balanced. Everything is made with such precision and quality. The space is bright and beautiful, and even when it's busy the staff moves efficiently. It's the kind of place that reminds you why SF has some of the best bakeries in the country. If you're only getting one thing, get the kouign-amann. If you have room for two, get the kouign-amann and a croissant. You'll be planning your next visit before you even leave.

They also have a bunch of other Chinese buns like the bbq pork buns, hot dog bun, pork floss buns, cocktail buns, etc.

Not very flakey, but has that sourness. There's a small seating outside. Overall, a great place to get baked goods value.

I've been here a few times and this time I remembered to take photos of the pastries before digging in! We tried the ube twice-baked croissant, ham and cheese croissant, curry potato bourek, and the spicy chicken pepper sausage croissant. Every pastry was perfectly flaky on the outside while staying soft and buttery on the inside. My favorites were the spicy chicken pepper sausage croissant and the ube twice-baked croissant. The savory pastries were packed with flavor, and the ube croissant struck the perfect balance of sweetness without being overpowering. I also love that they offer unique pastries you don't find at most bakeries. The café itself is small and cozy, and the staff were warm and friendly. It's usually packed, but we arrived at the perfect time and were able to grab everything we wanted before they sold out. We'll definitely be back to try more of their delicious pastries!

It's not much, more of a storefront with 2 tables outside but they have all the pastries. This place has the best mushroom tart ever. It has a generous amount of mushrooms but is not overpowering. All of their pastries are top of the line, fresh and flavorful with the perfect blend of ingredients. I also tried the Curry Potato Bourek and Everything Croissant which I'd recommend. I really wish they had a website where you can see the establishments where they sell the pastries. Dogpatch is kinda BFE for many people but great to stop by if you live in Portrero Hill, Mission Bay, or are doing something at UCSF or the Chase Center.

It's on the first floor of the Japan Center Malls and easy to find in the corner. While the line was long it moved quickly and we ended up ordering two drinks and a few pastries. We had the drinks right away and I enjoyed their honeycomb toffee latte ($8.25) while my husband ordered a flavored lemonade. The Honeycomb latte wasn't overly sweet and the honeycomb on top was a nice treat. 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. The lemonade my husband ordered was on the sweeter side, but was super refreshing for summer. If you like sweet you'll like this- if you prefer less sweet or tart it may not be for you. We also brought home a few of their pastries. All of them were fresh and well made. The basque cheesecake was creamy and satisfying without being overly sweet. The chocolate chip cookie had dark chocolate and was really rich and satisfying. The last pastry I forget the name of but it was like a cinnamon roll but with an orange glaze and some cocoa powder, this one was also delicious and not overly sweet. They had some savory options that were sold out when we visited and we would definitely visit again to try those and more items from the menu. We can see why this spot is so popular.

Anyway... Got there at about noon and there were only myself, my daughter and another customer. Had the lady go ahead of us since we weren't quite ready to order. Since it was not busy at all, you would expect the server to get our order right. Right?! Ordered 4 plain salt breads, 1 injeolmi pastry, and 2 chewy Dubai cookies. After receiving the box, trusting that all our items are in there, we already left. Drove home 50 minutes away from here expecting all is well. As soon as my daughter opened the box of her goodies, 1 chewy cookie was missing! Went to Yelp right away to find a number to contact and to my surprise, there isn't one! Went to IG to double check for a contact number, but none to my avail. Just messaged hoping that someone would help me out. Could this be something that a "very professional" worker scam that they charge you and not give you that item then they take it for themselves? You could've just asked Justin C.! Hopefully it was just a mistake they could correct. Not having a contact number seems like they don't want to get disturbed with any complaints. With all that being said, won't be coming back. First impression matters & I wish I could say better things.
