*3.5 stars, Came here on a sunny Saturday morning for brunch and line was ~15min long. No inside seating & bathroom available but there were plenty of tables outside that we were able to snag after we ordered. Got the egg coffee, Kaya Toast,Shrimp Sandwich,& Breakfast Sandwich, which came out within 10min of placing the order. **** 4/5 egg coffee - never had sweet egg (foam?) mixed with espresso shot , tasted like an eggy coffee crepe brûlée. portion was a bit small, think 4oz for $6.25 *** 3/5 Kaya toast - the Kaya was creamy perfection but it was spread on top of burnt toast. pic holding up the toast shows how BLACK it was underneath the Kaya. There were 3 of us so each took a piece, we were starving and had already eaten half of it before realizing that it was burnt else would've taken it back. Do better if you're paying $9 for burnt toast!! *****5/5 shrimp sando - the bread was light & crunchy, pairing well with the tempura shrimp patty & tangy cole slaw. This was $22 well spent compared to the toast lol ****4/5 breakfast sandwich - egg was runny in a will make the entire sandwich creamy way, the seaweed underneath was a pleasant surprise, very unique flavors! Overall menu was pricey and some items were a complete let down , nice to visit for sure but wouldn't warrant coming back. read more

Breadbelly - Kaya toast - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Curry Bun - love the Japanese curry and the addition of the extra crunch from the pine nuts. This was probably my favorite of what I ordered. The bread was super soft too. Only thing I wished was if it was toasted Kaya toast - can't go wrong, delicious kaya jam with a touch of nice flaky sea salt. Definitely order this when you visit here for the first time Twice Baked Croissant - extra flaky however the filling was okay - very blood orange forward with hint of guava and no rose taste. Pretty croissant but didn't think it was worth 10 dollars Great (but on the pricier end) bakery for Asian inspired breads and pastries if you're in the Richmond area. Most pastries are between 8-10 dollars. There's seating outside and you order at the counter. Not too much to comment on service since it's a pretty quick process. There often isn't a very long line which contrasts the long (but worth it) lines at Arsicault read more

One of my favorite bakeries in SF. The kaya toast is a must!! I dream of this often. Crispy buttery bread topped with sweet kaya spread and sprinkled with flaky salt - pure perfection. They also offer a variety of other pastries, sandwiches and an ever changing drink menu. The service is fantastic and ordering is quick. Once you order, you can sit and enjoy the outdoor seating or take it to go. Always a bustling spot, come enjoy their delicious menu and soak in some sun (or bay area fog). read more

Feel like this place has all the elements of a great bakery/cafe for 5 stars. However, I didn't really enjoy the items I got and they were quite expensive. It's cool that they're experimenting with fusion concepts though. I got the Rhubarb-Lychee Danish ($8 ish) and the Blueberry Lassi. I was in the sweet craving mood and both were surprising in different ways. The Rhubarb-Lychee was pretty delicious in the middle (little too sweet but nice). The rhubarb added a berry flavor that I love and the cream was good. The texture of the pastry was crispy and delicious. The black sesame I didn't enjoy though. It felt like there was too much and it over powered the flavor. The blueberry lassi ($8.50) was something I've never seen before so I thought I'd try it out. It was too sour and tart for my taste. It more resembled a traditional yogurt lassi than a mango lassi which tends to be much sweeter. I tried a friend's Kaya Bun which was delicious. The service was quick. The interior is small and cute, and they have a good amount of outdoor seating. read more

I've been wanting to try them since I first heard of them, on my latest visit to SF I got my chance. As soon as we neared the counter we were warmly welcomed by a smiling young lady. She explained the sweet and savory offerings and we chose what we wanted. I wanted to try the gyeranbbang. A moist corn cake filled with a cooked egg, scallion & chili flakes. It was spicy sweet & delicious. We took home a Mt Tam basque cheese cake, wow! Savory, dense, rich deliciousness. Yummo!!! I'm sure I'll be back on future visits. read more

Breadbelly - Gyeranbbang - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Yummy fun Asian-style pastries with a twist! I tried the following: - Gyeranbbang (Korean cornbread with cheese and an egg inside) - great savory pastry with light cheesy saltiness and perfectly fluffy texture. - Kaya bun - I was a bit leery of this, as I'm not a big fan of coconut, but this one really impressed me. It was not too coconut-y and not too sweet either. It was really well-balanced in flavor, and the texture was light and airy/fluffy. - Sticky rice aran-chino - tasty dish albeit served in small portions (2 fairly small balls). The panko crust was nicely crispy, and the interior was soft with flavorful Chinese sausage pieces. The cherry tomato dipping sauce gave a refreshing and rejuvenating kick to the heavier sticky rice balls. - Watermelon lychee tea - great, cold, and refreshing on a warm sunny day. I think peach lychee is better than watermelon lychee, but this one is still a great drink. read more

If there's a supposed elite bakery in San Francisco, then you can bet your bottom dollar I will be there to verify. Breadbelly offers some unique items which I really love in a bakery. Push the boundaries! Get funky with it you know? I tried this purple croissant that I forgot what all was in it but essentially it was a flakey exterior (perfect croissant texture) and a very dense and filled interior with some good jelly yum yum. Nope, that's not accurate at all but that's how it made me feel. There was also this cheese, egg, bread thing. There were exact names but it's lost on me. Like I said, All I remember is how they made me feel. The cheese egg guy was decent. Not a ton of flavor. No complaints. The croissant was special though. As far as specialty croissants goes this one is in elite company. The mission was to establish if Breadbelly is amongst the elites. I would say yes. It's a real heavyweight. Is it top 5 material? Inconclusive at the moment. I will need round 2 to be decisive. Breadbelly... get in my belly. (4.5 Stars) read more

breadbellys been on my list for a while ever since i saw a pic of the kaya toast try to go early before some of their popular items sell out (wasnt able to get the kaya bun or curry bun) plenty of outdoor seating and even though the line is super long it moves quite fast i wasnt expecting everything to be so expensive even for sf prices it was a bit steep, would come back for the kaya toast tho kaya toast - delicious!! kaya and pandan flavoring on warm milk bread is perfection shrimpwich - tastes like an upgraded filet o fish, pretty good breakfast sandwich - would skip nothing too special fig sesame danish - wasnt the biggest fan of the fig flavor, didnt get much seasme not ube tart - this was recommended by the server but i was confused by the taste, it tasted like a purple sweet potato wasnt too sweet which was nice peach lassi - honestly quite refreshing and unique read more

My friend and I visited on a weekday morning to try some of the highly praised pastries. You order at the counter, and there's seating outside. We had the KAYA TOAST, which is milk bread with coconut pandan jam, and the CURRY BUN. The Kaya toast was fantastic, and it was our first time trying it! However, I could barely taste the curry in the Curry Bun. I'd definitely come back to try more of their pastries! ENJOY! read more

I Ordered the breakfast sandwich, which was too loaded with deli meat and pickled vegetables. So much so that the egg could not be detected. Service from the front cashier was great. The only issue for me was the observation that one employee who appeared to be in charge of online order pickups, spent about 25 minutes socializing with her friends while others were covering her station. A few employees looked at her, stayed quiet and filled in her job while patrons were waiting. Not sure if she was on break or not but would recommend that if she were on her break, she should take her apron off so that customers aren't annoyed watching her socializing while trying to get what they ordered. I know I won't come back with the extended wait time for a single order. read more

Came here for breakfast on a weekend at about 10 or 10:30am, and luckily when we showed up there was no line! The line was down the block by the time it was 11am. There are also a little section of small tables right in front outside to enjoy your food. We ordered: - black sesame horchata (did not like it) - kaya bun - kaya toast - breakfast sandwich - chocolate croissant Everything was absolutely delicious, except the black sesame horchata. It wasn't for me and I didn't like the taste. Between the kaya bun and the kaya toast, I loved the toast even more. We also didn't expect much from the breakfast sandwich but it was really good! read more

I saw the reviews and I wanted to try it! The place is clean, the staff are friendly, and the line is LONG. Sunday brunch time is their crunch time. The line was full, the outdoor patio seating was full, and the bathrooms were full. I think the place was good to try, but the food wasn't as mind blowing as the prices would lead you to expect. Good, for sure, but a little steep. It's definitely amassed a popular following which has led them to drive up their prices with no consequence, and I'm hopeful for them with their novel pastry creations that they'll still keep a crowd, but just advise them to scale up their salad so I'm not just eating a bowl of chopped romaine leaves with a hint of corn for $15. read more

I don't really think of myself as a bread person and frequently proclaim that I don't really like bread, but I think I'm actually just really picky about bread. The Breadbelly bread-- I love it so much. Went with a friend during President's Day and it was quite busy. The parklet had more seating than i had initially thought. The line inside went quickly and the food came out promptly. I had the egg salad bunwich which was a pleasant surprise. I've never had anything like it, particularly because of the tempura. Really great mix of textures and flavors. Absolute *chef's kiss*! My friend let me have a taste of the Kaya Toast and the Bean Soup-- both also fantastic. I couldn't help myself and bought a milk bread loaf and have been making the best PB+J of my life the last few days. It's just so soft and pillowy, which is my ideal for bread. Also got the Mt Tam Basque Cheesecake. It legit tastes like the Mt Tam cheese, which is surprising for a cheesecake, but I'm into it. In sum, everything was great! I could not recommend this enough for both bread lovers and bread haters out there. For the bread haters, I think it'll change your mind (unless, you're gluten-free or have celiac I guess, though you can eat the cheesecake). read more

i am becoming more skeptical of tiktok recommendations but i was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was! we came at noon on sunday and waited a few minutes to order. food and drinks came out very fast too and we snagged a table outside the matcha is good. i was worried because it looked like nobody ordered the matcha but i liked it! both hot and iced were good. on the earthier side and somewhat sweetened but not bitter. paired well with the sweetness of the kaya toast the food was really the Star! breakfast sandwich was soo good, flavorful, and perfectly savory. the toast was delicious, the BREAD was soo soft and fluffy for both the sandwich and the toast. if you do get the kaya toast by itself though you might find it too sweet. so id recommend getting a sweet and savory item for balance. i would definitely recommend this place. it is quite pricey though ($43 total) so i can't be a regular, but it is very unique and great experience overall! read more

The service was excellent. They were patient and kind to my three year old even during the morning rush.

Love the unique and asian inspired pastries and desserts here! My friends and I specifically wanted to try the kaya toast, and it did not disappoint: the milk bread was thick and buttery while the kaya jam was super fragrant -- the sprinkle of salt on top also made a huge difference! Only reason I took a star off was that the prices are up there and the wait can get long; the drinks were delicious but were around $7-8 for a 12oz!! read more

I love swinging by Breadbelly every now and then to try out their seasonal items. My new favorite item is this scallion pancake with braised beef shank. Peanuts? Fennel? Shinko pear? Cilantro? I mean c'mon. All the toppings and flavors play with each other SO WELL. Their drinks are also really solid, I understand most people's main hesitation towards this place is the price, but the quality justifies the price in my opinion. read more

Food: I love the creative menu and desserts! My favorite is the shrimp sandwich but my main complaint is that the food never seems to come out hot enough. Be prepared to spend a lot for not a lot of food. Service: Order at counter. Pro-tip: order online ahead of time and then pickup. Lines can get long. Ambiance: No indoor seating, but there are some chairs outside. read more

Came here and was super stoked to try out breadbelly. I love kaya toast so you know we had to get an order. I was kind of shocked at the price point, almost $10 for a kaya toast, but i guess that's SF pricing for you. The toast was toasted, but really soft on the inside, not really crispy or crunchy (was looking for that) There was A LOT of spread over the toast. It was really good, sweet yet mild flavor profile. Some bites were salty due to sea salt flakes on top which was a nice touch. But the bread could have been toasted better. It definitely felt like a twist on kaya toast and not that original flavor of kaya i always tasted. We also got a sesame horchata, very good! I really liked it, was perfect balance of sweet and sesame flavor. Overall, i want to give it a 3.5 but if pricing a sliced toast at $10, i'd rather go elsewhere, it was great to try one time though! read more

Honestly, I'm really confused by all the hype. I've been a few times and each time the line is long. I keep giving them a try and while the food is good, I'm never "wowed." For the high price tag, I walk away feeling slightly regretful. I've come in the late morning/early afternoon and the pastries are always disappointingly at room temperature. It doesn't seem like they bring fresh batches throughout but I could be wrong. They were able to heat a savory pastry I bought but I don't think they heat the kaya pastries, which makes sense since it isn't really a soft bread and may ruin the texture. All this being said, I might be lured in again if I'm in the area because there aren't any bakeries offering kaya in the Bay Area that I've come across. And I like their kaya more than any jars of kaya I've bought (I haven't looked too hard though). I'll also say I do like their space and they have a nice system of getting orders out efficiently. read more

We got here on a Saturday just after their closing hour and they were still serving food that was still available. The people we dealt with were very nice. Chocolate croissant: 5/5. I like a significant amount of chocolate in my chocolate croissant. Unlike some places that seem to put in a token amount, this place got it right. It was obvious they used quality chocolate. And the bread part of it was nice and flakey with the right buttery flavor. Well executed. read more

This is one of my favorite places for brunch! Everything is so delicious, I want to try everything on the menu. On my most recent trip, I tried the shrimp burger and it was incredibly satisfying. The kaya toast is also a staple. While it is very rich and sweet, it is a nice treat. read more

I came here with my friends for brunch and we ordered the breakfast sandwich, not-ube tart, bakwa and egg sandwich, corn pastry, black sesame cappuccino, cocomelon, matcha cappuccino, and hot chocolate. The breakfast sandwich was a little underwhelming for the price, but it was pretty good. The bread was really soft, and the flavor was on the sour side. I really enjoyed the bakwa and egg sandwich. The biscuit was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the bakwa was chewy, savory, and sweet. I think the egg balanced out the sweetness, but some of my friends still thought it was too sweet. The corn pastry was delicious too; the inside was creamy and rich and tasted a lot like corn chowder, which I am a fan of. The not-ube tart was really good. Although the sweet potato filling was definitely on the sweet side, the salted egg shavings in top added a great savory salty element. The drinks were solid too, I especially liked the hot chocolate and matcha (not too sweet). Although I enjoyed the nuttiness of the black sesame cappuccino, it was a bit too rich for me. The cocomelon tasted a lot like melona, which was yummy. There was a bit of a line to go inside and order, but there is a good amount of seating outdoors to eat and hang. read more

Breadbelly is probably one of the most well known bakeries in San Francisco. I was excited to finally give it a try. Location: Right in the heart of the inner Richmond. You can easily get there taking either the 1 or the 38 lines. (Plus probably some other Muni lines I don't know about). Food and drink: I ordered a good chunk of pastires everything and they all varies in terms of how I liked them: - Kaya Toast: 5/5. Super soft bread and sweet kaya. Delicious. - Hazelnut Danish: 5/5. It tasted just like a massive Ferrera Roche. - Kaya Bun: 4/5. Sweet kaya filling in a nice choux pastry with a harder glaze on top. - Black sesame cookie: 3/5. It has an interesting texture for me but flavor was good. - Black sesame latte: 3/5. Not the best black sesame latte I have had but not the worst. - Matcha Latte: 3/5. Same reasoning of the black sesame latte. - Not so Ube Tart: 3/5. The purple potato filling was delicious but there is this salty yellow pieces of something (I know great description), that I did not care for BUT my girlfriend thought it created a good balance. I would say this was my least favorite item but still worth a try. Overall, I would go back and especially want to try some of their savory items. Definitely recommending others give it a try. read more

I've seen the check-ins and photos on Yelp and I couldn't stand it any longer: We had to try Breadbelly! Ordering online is the way to go. You can choose the time and it'll be ready and when you arrive then they'll make your drinks. My always-eating teenage foodie son chose the breakfast sandwich ($12). About halfway through, he got a taste of the pepper paste and urgently said, "put the straw in my drink now now!!" while fanning his mouth. Luckily I ordered him a date and orange blossom lassi ($7.50) to put out the fire! I splurged with the Shrimpwich ($22) and my mouth waters when thinking about the crispy goodness biting into a solid shrimp patty. With shredded lettuce and an avocado spread, every bite was perfectly balanced and delicious. My iced coffee was pretty good, sesame cookie my son said he "looooved it". I thought the price was a bit steep ($4.75). Unique food, quality ingredients, ease of ordering, gracious service and a parklet to sit, Breadbelly is a new favorite. read more

If I lived in Richmond... I would come here everyday. Take my money Breadbelly!! This place was so unique and delicious! I loved their fun drink choices and their seemingly endless list of pastries. I would have loved to try every single thing on their menu, but unfortunately we got there after noon, so many of the menu items were already sold out. :( so I would definitely recommend coming earlier rather than later if there's something in particular that you would like to try!! We ended up getting the kaya toast, the breakfast sandwich, chicken karaage, and Gyeranbbang. It took a while for the food to come out, but it was pretty busy so that was understandable. I'd probably order ahead next time though. We sat outside since indoor seating was not offered. The tables were kinda tiny, but the vibes were still great. :) Food: The kaya toast was soo good (I've never had anything like it before!), and the breakfast sandwich was a lil spicy but so TASTY. The bread in these two items was so soft and perfect. The chicken karaage was good but pretty standard, and the Gyeranbbang didn't really stand out to me either. We also tried 4 drinks: the sesame horchata, 50/50, egg coffee, and the seasonal lassi. The sesame horchata was good, but very heavy on the sesame. I don't think I would get it again. The lassi was very strong in its yogurt flavor, so it was also not my favorite. The egg coffee was good and unique, and the 50/50 was yummy --it tasted like a mix of black tea and Vietnamese coffee. In the future, I'll probably stick to getting normal coffee, but it was fun getting to try these drinks! Next time I'm in Richmond I will definitely be back to try alllll the different pastries!! Looking forward to coming back :) read more

The food here is all delicious however the price increases across the board are a lot! Even all the drinks are now $7-10+ for as small as 8oz. Definitely I'll worth it as an occasional treat but not a value for money spot. My one gripe is the price on the shrimpwich is almost $23 and the shrimp patty size has definitely flattened since I was last here. The patty used to be incredibly thick and delicious which made the price feel more justified read more

AHHHH!!! I LOVE BREADBELLY AND I WILL SAY IT WITH MY CHEST! It is seriously that good. Went to Breadbelly on a sunny Monday morning and did not have to wait long to order or receive our food. I ordered the matcha latte which had the perfect level of sweetness and earthy tang to it. I also ordered the breakfast sandwich which was unlike anything I have had before. The chili paste was sweet and added a hint of spice while the egg was cooked to perfection. The bread was different - but a welcome kind of different - that was soft and melted in your mouth. I also tried a little bit of my friend's Kaya toast, and if you're looking for a sweet treat, there's nothing I can recommend more. While it was a little bit more on the pricier side (almost $10 for the Kaya toast!) you're paying for quality. I really, really enjoyed my meal at Breadbelly and will recommend it to everybody. read more

Long wait was worth it! We tried the butter mochi, kaya bun, kaya toast, almond jam cookies and sesame horchata. My favorite was the butter mochi and kaya toast. The butter mochi had toasted nuts on the outside and the texture was the right amount of chewiness. Loved how the toast had so much kaya spread on top. I wish the kaya bun had more filling, mine was a lot of bread inside. All together, our breakfast was $40. Looking forward to trying their sandwiches next! read more

this place is always bustling and has a long line, but our order surprisingly came out really quick (less than 5 minutes). many small tables outdoors, but I see many people doing takeouts. as someone from southeast asia, the kaya toast gave me a taste of home. the kaya taste is not exactly the same, but definitely close. I loved the soft but toasty milk bread in contrast with the flowy sweet custard. the ube tart was ok, not a ton of ube flavor but still tasted good. gyeranbbang was interesting with the cornbread base instead of the traditional bread. the sweetness from the cornbread balanced out the salty eggy cheesy topping, but I wish the top was softer. mapo tofu focaccia was unique and the flavor was great! the tofu was a little hard but I'm not sure if they user soft or firm tofu. I actually really enjoyed the curry bun -- not too oily and loaded with seeds and japanese curry flavor. the egg coffee was intriguing but tasted pretty nice! no saltiness from the egg, and did not mask the strong coffee. overall, the prices are pretty steep but I can't compare with asia since the selections here are one of a kind in SF! read more

Traveled 40+ minutes for the Kaya Toast and it was absolutely worth it. I arrived around 1:30pm on a Sunday, and there was only a short line. The bread was fluffy and the kaya jam was creamy and not overly sweet or oily despite the generous layer. However, the portion is quite large, so would recommend sharing with a friend or two - my friend only took a few bites and I struggled to finish the rest since the bread + jam combination can get a bit heavy. One star deducted for the price.... I wanted to try more items but my wallet was crying a little. The outdoor seating area can also get super windy, so come prepared! read more

Breadbelly is pretty cool. The line isn't too bad, seating is self seated and employees are pretty kind. We ordered the kaya toast and sandwich. Recommend both. The kaya toast was super unique and the main reason we chose to eat here. Never had anything quite like it. Pretty sweet and delicious. But also overpriced like everything else in SF. It seemed like a pretty local spot. Nice outdoor seating, but was pretty chilly outside. We're from SoCal so the bay is just cold and dark to us lol. I'd go again, but it's not a must have for me. read more
