Honestly not impressed at all. The pastries here are really overpriced for their level of quality. A default 15% tip at the register is nuts too at these prices (paid $30 after tax and before tip for three pastries). Kaya Toast - The coconut pandan spread was quite light and the toast was freshly warm. The toast is of the spongier variety, and it did seem slightly soggy inside (not sure why they would put a lid over it for an eating-in order). Pretty decent overall, but nothing special and I'd be willing to pay about $6 for this. 7/10 Kaya Bun - The quality of the bread on this is pretty mediocre; leans toward the more chewy and tough side (see photo). First bite was a miss. Second bite, I started warming up to it more. The filling and the crust mesh together well with the bread but would've been much better if the bread was softer and the crust was less dense. 6/10 Cherry Almond Cake - Just tasted like your average pastry. Again, the quality of the crumb was pretty disappointing - leans rougher in terms of texture whereas I'd prefer something smoother and more spongy. Tastes like there's some rum in there to give the cake more depth but made it too heavy. 5/10 read more

A really cute and cozy cafe in the Richmond area! You go inside the fairly small store to order and get your food then there's a nice seating area outside. I got the kaya toast, which was delicious and had a great ratio of bread to spread, but I did think it was a little expensive at $10 for a piece of milk bread with spread. I did love the presentation of the dish though and it was a large enough portion to share. Would also be curious to try their kaya bun and some of their savory pastries. We came at around 10:30 and there was a line out the door but it moved quite quickly. read more

This was my first time at bread belly and it was incredible. We ordered a bunch since we were visiting from out of town. We started with a breakfast and egg salad sandwich. Both were great but I especially loved the egg salad. The highlight for me was the almond, kumquat croissant. It was maybe the best croissant I've ever had. We also ordered a buckwheat sesame cookie for the drive home. It's a small space with outdoor dining. You order at the counter. There was a long line but it was quick. This place is so great. Everything was delicious. read more

One of the most expensive breakfast sandwiches (Biscuit Smash) we've had in San Francisco. Also, probably the best. The biscuit was soft, moist almost melty on the inside with and amazing delicate crunch on the outside. Excellent sausage patty and superior ingredients to round it all out. Can't do this every week but when we do, it's a special treat. read more

Kaya Toast: It's alright. The buttered and toasted milk bread is the predominant flavor and is delicious itself. The pandan coconut spread on top is more subtle. The flaky salt on top is nice. I think it's good but not $10 good. I wouldn't buy it again or make the trek out for it. Maybe I'll try some of their other pastries next time I'm in the area. read more

Finally made it out to Breadbelly after having it in my list for the longest time (first time I stumbled in years ago, it was only for a drink which hardly counts)! The line was pretty long when we got there on a late weekend morning but luckily we had put in an order online in advance. We ordered the kaya toast and the biscuit sandwich to share in their parklet (it's a pretty decently sized parklet, but we still had to wait for a spot to open up due to how popular it is). The biscuit sandwich was delicious! The biscuit itself had both a nice outer crunch as well as a nice soft interior and was not dry at all. The eggs were pillowy and the sausage was really flavorful. I do think it could've used a sauce to amp things up a bit - there is scallion chimichurri but I couldn't really taste it much, perhaps there just needed to be more? It was also a tad bit salty for my liking but otherwise a really satisfying breakfast sandwich! Sadly, we forgot to select to include utensils in our order so we didn't get to try the kaya toast until we got home but it was still really good! The kaya jam was so rich and went well with the fluffy milk bread. I do wish there was another textural element in there as it was altogether quite soft (though not sure if this is due to the travel time before eating). Similarly, while I liked that there was a savory element, this one was also a bit salty for me (though my partner did not think this at all). Overall, from our small sample size, a pretty solid place to grab a deliciously carb-y bite. While the prices are a bit steep, the quality of what we had does seem to match and I'm interested to see how their other items stack up! read more

It'w been on my must try lists and I came here with high expectations based on the high number of positive reviews. I really like the ambience and the parklet. The saff were friendly as well. I ordered the kaya bun, breakfast sandwich and a cappuccino. The cap was smaller than expected and on the weak side, so I was a little disappointed. I got the last kaya bun, and it was okay; it might have been in my palate or some sensitivity that I wasn't aware of until eating the bun because something about it upset my stomach a bit. I enjoyed the sandwich - the kale gave it a nice crunch and the fermented pepper paste added nice flavor. As others have mentioned, it's on the pricier side for what you get. read more

Two words. Kaya bun. My close friend, who is a true SF native introduced me to this delicious pastry and I unapologetically crave it all the time. There was a period of time where we would go, get in line early, and buy boxes of these buns every single time we went to the city. We would go to a nice park and eat them in one sitting. Mind you, I live 'bout an hour south of sf. I hold these buns close to my heart as you can see.. The bun has a perfectly thick flaky crust that holds all of that decadent, sweet, and thick pandan cream. UGHHH I need it NOW! I have also tried the shrimp sando, which was very good. No complaints and tasted fresh. read more

Interesting spot that is worth going to. However the shrimp Sando was $25 out the door. It was very good. But about $10 too much imho. Should've ordered the chicken cutlet. Next time. Also. Most entertaining are the regulars, who seem over-the-top proud to be there, like they are in a special club. I overheard a gal with unfortunate bangs, like she cut them herself in the dark whilst channeling Bettie Page, loudly comment about how newbies don't know the protocol, how to properly queue up outside the building, and more , which I took as a cue to look clueless and ask where to put my dirty dishes (outside is the answer). Side note: The drinks looked great but it was past coffee time for me. read more

New favorite bakery in SF. I've been wanting to try the kaya toast here for years now, and I'm so glad I finally went today! It lives up to the hype; the bread is almost like sweet croissant toast, and the kaya jam topping is incredible. It has the perfect balance of sweet and salty; I would 100% get it again. We also got the gyeranbbang, which is a cornbread topped with cheese, and filled with an egg and scallions. I loved the spicy and savory flavor profile, and the cheese on top. The cornbread base was super moist. Would highly recommend this as well. I wish I could've tried everything in the display case; everything looked so good. Will definitely be back to try more! Service is really friendly. The food does take a few mins to come out if you asked for it to be warmed, and the kaya toast takes time to prepare. They have lots of outdoor seating in front and it wasn't too hard to find a table on a Sunday afternoon. read more

My friends and I visited after hiking Land's end and I was starving. I got the shrimpwich and blueberry lassi and I have to say, the blueberry lassi might be my new favorite lassi. This drink was a surprising change to the traditional mango lassi. And pairing it with the shrimpwich was the ultimate feast after a hike. The shrimpwich was also an amazing sandwich. One thing to note tho is that it's a bit pricey. I ordered Kaya toast, an espresso drink, shrimpwich, blueberry lassi, and 2 pastries for a whopping cost of over $80. So given the price, I'd say it's a treat and not a place I would frequent. This place has outdoor seating and is dog friendly. During peak hours it may be hard not only to find street parking, but to find a table. read more

Best matcha I've had in SF. I don't live nearby, but I'll happily make the drive because it's that good. The staff is genuinely the sweetest too. I accidentally arrived right after they closed, and when they heard I'd driven all the way there, they kindly made an exception and even gave me a pastry. The matcha is incredible, the pastries are amazing, and the hospitality is unmatched. Easily one of my favorite spots in SF!! read more

Not too sure why they only filled my cup 2/3 full. I was very confused when I saw my drink. This is compared to the last time I was here a few months ago where they filled my drink. They could improve on having standard drink sizes. read more

The first time I tried anything from Breadbelly was when they were a pop-up in the Sunset and now that they're a brick and mortar, I actually have not gone; I've walked past, but not actually gone in to purchase anything. Well, my very knowledgeable and generous friend, Lisa X, picked up a couple of amazing treats for me the other day (thank you, Lisa!). One was a bag of macadamia nuts coated with chocolate and something else; I couldn't tell exactly what it was, but after eating one, I *had* to have a few more!! They were delicious! Lisa also got me a chocolate croissant, saying it was her favorite when she gave it to me. I didn't eat it the day I received it, but I heated it up a bit the next morning and I could definitely agree that it was one of the best chocolate croissants I've ever had! It was so, so flaky. The crunch was unbelievable! It was like thin, thin sheets of glass that shattered when I bit into it, but the soft, fluffy inside with the dark chocolate melted in my mouth. Oh, my goodness!! What a wonderful treat! Now I'll have to make a trip to Breadbelly myself and try more of their items. Thank you, Lisa, for re-introducing Breadbelly to me! read more

Went on a Saturday morning and waited around 20 min. Lots of variety to choose from. My favorite was the biscuit smash-- definitely one of SF's best breakfast sandwiches. Biscuit was buttery and crispy and the patty was so juicy. Bursting with flavor, 10/10! Kaya bun's cream was light and not to sweet and the blueberry croissant tart was enjoyable as well. Would come again! read more

Damn I really thought I'd reviewed Breadbelly years ago (or maybe subconsciously didn't to keep it a secret...). But seems like the secret's out and now the lines are massive! Been one of my favorite bakeries since they opened -- a true hidden gem on the less commercial blocks on Clement St. I first came here years ago after spending months on and off craving Kaya toast and looking on Yelp and Google for "Singaporean bakeries". Breadbelly popped up and it was love at first bite. The Kaya toast -- thick milk bread with a generous layer of kaya (coconut-pandan jam); the ube tart with salted egg yolk zest and meringue (divine); the Kaya bun is wonderfully fluffy, has a lovely crusting of Kaya? Matcha? (Unsure but it's delicious either way), and the custard filling is so silky and light. Their menu has certainly evolved and expanded over the years, but the quality of each individual pastry is still high. There is love and care and consistency in the deliciousness of all the foods offered here -- you really can't go wrong. Make no mistake though: it's expensive. My wallet weeps every time we visit, yet this is one of few places where you do feel like the quality of the goods match the cost of it. It's a splurge and a worthy one. read more

Came here on a late Friday afternoon to try the famous Kaya toast. There was a line when I arrived and most things were sold out, including the Kaya bun. I didn't understand the hype for a $10 piece of toast, but the taste was delightful. The kaya jam was super smooth, buttery, and just the right amount of sweetness. The bread was very soft and melted in your mouth. The cashier was friendly and explained all the items on the menu to me. It was a short wait for the toast. I can't justify always spending so much on a toast, but it was definitely well worth trying! Update 9/6 - went back to try a few more items. The seasonal Kouign amann was the best newest try! The twice backed stone fruit croissant was a bit of a miss as it was dry especially compared to other croissant places in the city. The Kaya toast is still my favorite. The Kaya bun was a bit disproportional with the filling as it was very stuffed on only one side. read more

Great staff, great drinks, good food Busy breakfast cafe with items inspired by Asian food! I came too late try some of their most popular items but ordered a blueberry lassi (8.5) and tomato toast (16.5) The lassi was delicious and something I would definitely order again. It was the right amount of sweet and tart. I waited a little too long to drink it so it was thinner than it originally came but still delicious. The tomato toast was objectively good, but I personally didn't like it because the base sauce includes a lot of cilantro (I think), which I don't like. The milk bread is soft and thick, the tomatoes are juicy, and the toppings of fried shallots and crispy peanuts are nice addition for taste and texture. There was the right amount of sauce and topping on the toast, the green sauce is just too strong for me. The staff is very friendly and helpful, even despite me coming moments before closing. They stayed busy past close time. There were many full tables as well after I left. There's plenty of outdoor seating and no waiting bench indoors. It was a nice day and not too crowded, so great ambience! I would definitely return! I want to try the Kaya cream puff read more

I was super excited to try breadbelly but in the end we only really enjoyed the Kaya Bun. It's an extremely cute cafe but we felt like the prices were too expensive for the amount and quality of the food. The breakfast sandwich $14.50 (fried egg, smoked ham, Gruyère, sour kale, fermented pepper paste, bun) had a small thin slice of ham we almost missed it because all we tasted was egg. The chicken karaage $15.25 came with about 8 pieces of bite sized chicken and a side of kewpie mayo. The egg coffee can only be made hot, not iced, and didn't quite impress us. The coffee flavor quickly overwhelmed the egg foam on top. The sesame cappuccino (iced) isn't filled to the top (most likely because it's a set measurement for hot, which is fine) but was a little disappointing to see. The Kaya bun though? Delicious! Cookie crumble top with a Kaya cream interior reminded me of my childhood and wasn't too sweet! Service was fast though and it has quite a few tables outside in the front patio area to sit in, but if I come back, it'll most likely only be for the Kaya bun. read more

Giving this locally famous bakery a 4/5 for their creative, rotating selection of baked goods. Their kaya bun is lovely. However the shrimpwich should probably be reserved for someone with clogged sinuses! The amount of wasabi in the slaw was overwhelming and I was sadly unable to finish my (expensive) sandwich. TLDR: bakery items are great, avoid the shrimpwich unless you love wasabi read more

Delicious. Creative. Perfection. We come here for our weekly shrimp paste sandwich and breakfast bacon and egg biscuit. The shrimp paste is literally bouncy, and has really delicious and mild flavor, perfectly fried. I don't even like bacon and egg stuff but I tried it when my husband first ordered it, and let me tell you, I dream about it sometimes, the bacon is perfectly soft and a little crispy, sweet and delicious, the egg is cooked in fat I think, the biscuit tastes super fresh and perfect amount of crispy outside and most inside, it's just so satisfying to have a really well made fat protein carb combo. For a while they also had the citrus lassie, arguably one of the best beverages I've ever had, perfect texture and flavor. We've also tried some of the pastries, they are good but not our favs. Come for the breakfast sandwiches! read more

The cutest name with yummy pastries?! I'm lined up. Unfortunately, the one time I was finally able to give them a try, they only had one type of pastry available. SO SAD but there's always next time. I ordered the egg sando and an iced americano, as well as a caramelized toast (I'm 100% sure the name was different but I can't remember) to share. The egg sando had soft milk bread and creamy Japanese-style egg salad topped with lots of chives and bacon bits. My friend's shrimp sandwich was also delicious with a juicy shrimp patty and lots of flavor. The caramelized toast was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the best Asian compliment for anything - not so sweet! Seating is extremely limited with only 2-3 small tables and a small standing area. I really hope to be able to come by earlier next time so I can try their other pastries! read more

We discovered this place through Instagram Reels and decided to check it out. We ordered the Eag Coffee, Sparkling Yuzu Americano, Kaya Toast, and Shrimpwich. It was about $60 total. The Eag Coffee had a taste reminiscent of steamed egg, but it turned overly bitter and a bit unpleasantly eggy toward the end. The Sparkling Yuzu Americano had an odd flavor as well. While we didn't mind since we wanted to try something adventurous, the coffee was quite expensive, so we probably wouldn't order it again. On the other hand, the Kaya Toast was delightfully sweet and delicious, while the Shrimpwich was just average. The bread itself was really good, though. If we come back, we'll likely skip the coffee and stick to the Kaya Toast and plain bread. read more

Got the kaya toast. Wait was short and they even had a restroom inside. The actual kaya toast was very heavy. It's on a thick bread and it is delicious, very filling. However, it is very different from the original Singapore kaya toast so don't expect the same thing. To me, it almost tasted like a cake. read more

I find this place charming. Food: -Gyeranbbang (Korean for egg bread): there was an egg on top of the bread mixed with an Asiago-type cheese. The bread was toasted on the outside and soft on the inside, and the egg/cheese was absolutely delicious. Savory delight. -Mapo tofu: I'm more used to the Korean-style of this Chinese dish, so it was a little heavy on the soy sauce and oil for my personal preference. However, if you like the Chinese version, you would probably love this. Such a great idea for a baked good!! Service: Nice and quick. We went on a Saturday morning, and there were a lot of people enjoying their baked goods at the tables outside in front of the bakery. No line, so we were in and out within a few minutes. Ambiance: It's a moderately sized bakery. The only places to sit are outside, but they do kindly let you use their restroom if you ask. read more

Props to my husband for finding this spot last minute, it ended up being our best bites of the day! This quaint little bakery delivers some unique flavors and quality pastries. I regret not getting extra for the road, or ordering more in general! We initially came just for the kaya toast, since we have been in search of it ever since our 2020 trip to Singapore. But when I got up to the counter, I couldn't say no to that pretty green kaya bun! We also shared a black sesame cappuccino since it sounded too unique to pass up. It was a pricey total at $20+ for 3 items but what can you expect in the middle of the city...the total tacks on $1 if you choose takeout and I also saw an extra charge for staff wellness..that's new. But definitely worth it since I can't think of one other place that I can get any of these three items! The kaya toast melted in my mouth. The milk bread is so fluffy and the kaya jam is just how I expected. It is very sweet, as it usually is, so I'm glad that we shared it between us and our kids. The sea salt flakes help balance it out. The kaya bun is a nice alternative because the kaya cream is less overpoweringly sweet but you still get the fluffy bread, plus a bonus crunch on the outside. These are probably my two new favorite pastries ever! Washing it all down with the black sesame cappuccino was perfect but still wishing I got the matcha cappuccino too! The black sesame was true black sesame flavor and it was just the right size cup too. Great corner location and they have a lot of tables out front to just sit and enjoy your morning coffee! read more

My husband and I came here for a breakfast sandwich on New Year's Day. There was a line but luckily we got the head's up that you can order online for pick up, which we did ~15 mins earlier than arriving and the food was ready when we got there! The restaurant is a small caffe setting with counter service and outdoor seating available. It was so hard to choose what to get because all of the pastries and sandwiches sounded delicious, but we went with some of the most popular options: the Kaya toast, breakfast sandwich, kakiage egg salad bunwich, blueberry almond cake, and gyeranbbang. Everything was delicious! The kakiage egg salad bunwich was probably the highlight for me, the creamy egg salad was deliciously contrasted with crunchy fried "kakiage" vegetables, and crisp cucumber. The Kaya toast is a thick slice of toasted milk bread with a creamy "coconut pandan jam" on top, and finished with maldon salt, it the jam feels more like a custard which is smooth and delicious but very sweet so I don't think I could have had a full slice. The breakfast sandwich was super unique, not like any breakfast sandwich I've ever had; it comes with smoked ham, fried egg, Gruyère cheese, "sweet and sour kale", fermented chili paste and slice of romaine lettuce. The combination of flavors hits all the major flavor categories, spicy, a little sweet, smoky, salty, umami, as well as textures like crunchy from the lettuce, creamy from the egg, and fluffy bread. The gyeranbbang is like a soft corn bread with an egg and crispy cooked cheese on top, and the almond blueberry cake was sweet with a delicious crumble topping. read more

I love kaya and egg coffee, so I have been eyeing this place for awhile. I went kind of late, so they were out of a lot of items that I wanted to try (they were pretty busy still). Tried their: - Kaya toast : Good toast and jam ratio, great flavors, would recommend! - Scallion pancake: Good/interesting/familiar - Egg coffee: The egg cream was good, but overtime, the drink tasted like soy sauce (got pretty salty???). Wouldn't get this one again :/ Outdoor seating Street parking Would be open to trying more items that I didn't get to try! read more

Small storefront, cute vibes! There's a few tables outside the shop that you can sit at - no indoor seating. I was impressed with the versatility of their menu in terms of sandwiches, salads, and a variety of pastries. Huckleberry Almond Cake: It wasn't dry (which was my biggest worry), not too sweet, but it simply tasted like a blueberry dessert so nothing too mind blowing. It was around $11 after tax, which definitely felt pricey. Kaya Toast: Also around $11 after tax. The bread had a great texture to it and the spread was very flavorful with the pandan. This one was unique, but I'm unsure if I'll get it again because of the price. I would be down to try their savory items if I'm back, and especially their savory pastries. Remember you can also order online and go straight to the pickup rack to skip the line (as there was a bit of a wait, even with it being an hour before closing). Their items are also limited, so to get the full selection, I'd come here closer to open. read more

Happy 5 year anniversary, Breadbelly! It was sooo good that I came b2b a week apart hahaha. I've been meaning to try Breadbelly for a while and finally had the time to go! I headed there on a Friday morning twice and surprisingly no line! Street parking only and if you're lucky you can snag a parking out front! I was excited to try the Kaya Toast and the Kaya Bun and both did NOT disappoint! The toast bread was light and soft - perfection. The Kaya bun's filling was amazing and not too sweet!

Both items I had were good, but were they so good that I'd be a repeat visitor to get them? Most likely not at the price point for the size of the item. I had the Egg Salad Bunwich and Kaya Toast. The Egg Salad Bunwich is pretty small, but the flavor was great and thought the combination of ingredients weren't something you'd find elsewhere. However, I thought that the portion would be a bit bigger. The Kaya Toast was a very thick layer of "jam". It seemed more like a syrup to me. The flavor was delicious, but very, very, sweet. I'd probably prefer about a quarter of the amount of jam for the ratio of bread. The toast was a thick cut; this menu item is a good selection if you feel like eating a dessert. Customer service was excellent. They had a steady stream of customers throughout my time there. You either online order or line up, order, then they'll yell your name when your orders up (and you'll pick it up at the counter). There's a side to queue if you ordered in advance and a queue for in-person orders. Parking was a bit difficult on the weekend. I ended up parking about half a mile away. They have multiple small tables set up outside. I'd say it's worth trying out! While it personally didn't become a favorite of mine, maybe you'll love Breadbelly, as they have a lot of positive reviews and seem to be highly recommend. They do have a lot of interesting food options with unique flavors and ingredients! read more

Cute little cafe that would be perfect for an early date or casual catch up with a friend. The indoor seating is limited to some bench seating along one front side only, and the parklet out front is set up with small patio arrangements, so it's definitely not ideal for larger groups. And it must be pretty popular because there was a line even on a rainy day. You can also order online for pick up to skip the wait. Pandan bun: Earns the ultimate Asian compliment of "not too sweet." The custard inside was well-flavored with pandan, and the coconut wasn't overpowering. The crunchy glaze topping adds a bit of texture. Breakfast sando: Smoked ham, fried egg, kale, and a fermented chili paste between a soft bun. Really liked this--the bun was soft like a brioche, the chili paste added great umami flavor (though I wish it was spicier), and the kale gave some refreshing crunch. My only wish would be if you could request the egg less fried for a more oozy yolk. The menu says medium and you can request it well-done, but I think ours came out pretty well-done anyways. Biscuit BEC: Egg omelette, American and cheddar cheeses, and thicccc cut bacon (think caramelized Asian pork belly) with biscuit buns. This one was a bit disappointing. The biscuits were sort of dense and dry, and I wanted the bacon to be much more tender. Not worth the $18+ imo. Chocolate entremet: I doubt this is something that's a big focus of their menu, and we only ordered it bc we just watched a cooking show in which the challenge was to make entremets. If you're a chocolate lover, maybe you'd enjoy this, but I found it way too rich and sweet. The prices are a little steep (sandwich prices from $13-22+), but 1. what else do you expect in SF and 2. I think some (the breakfast sando) are more worth it than others. read more

We visited Breadbelly on a sunny Sunday morning, and while there was a bit of a wait, it was absolutely worth it. The Kaya Toast was incredible--soft, buttery milk bread slathered with rich coconut-pandan jam, topped with a touch of Maldon sea salt for the perfect sweet-savory balance. The breakfast sandwich was next-level: a perfectly cooked fried egg (medium!), smoky ham, melty gruyère, sweet and sour kale, and a punch of flavor from the fermented chili paste, all on a soft yet sturdy pandesal bun. Every bite was a perfect mix of textures and bold, delicious flavors. The atmosphere was bright and welcoming, making it a great spot to start the day. Definitely a place we'd return to, even if there's a line! read more
