I wanted to love the kaya toast here (as a kaya fan) but I didn't find it to be very authentically tasting and also the price was quite high for the portion. To be fair, I might be biased because I come from Singapore where Kaya toast is truly a local delight available in abundance for a cheap price. I will say that the atmosphere is lovely, the staff are so kind and work very hard considering how packed it gets on weekends. I'd like to come back to try other options here :) read more

We went at 9AM on a weekday and there was no line. The food items were overall really lovely and I definitely recommend the Kaya Toast and Strawberry Lassi. I felt that the miso chocolate entremet didn't have a particularly strong miso flavor which I was expecting. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is limited indoor seating, but a lovely outdoor garden/patio area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Quality/Quantity - Gyeranbbang - My guest ordered this without really knowing what it was. She was the one that insisted on coming here, and wanted to support local. It looked good, but obviously not her preference. Blueberry Croissant Tart - This was good, but not sure if it was $12 good. I actually thought we were going to take our order to-go, but my guest wanted to sit and eat. If I knew that, I would have ordered a cup of coffee to go with my pastry. Next time I will try your signature Kaya Toast. Oh, I am so lucky to have so many GREAT bakeries in Reno, NV. So also grading on a curve. Atmosphere - Small neighborhood counter service business. Well, they have outdoor seating. Street parking, good luck. Open 6 days a week from 8am to 2pm; closed Tuesdays. Crazy busy on weekends, see picture. Service - Counter service. Price - $22, expensive. But that is the cost for quality. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2018. Glad you are thriving. read more

This place was super busy when I came here on a Saturday afternoon. Indoor seating was essentially nonexistent because there was only one small table and it felt really uncomfortable inside anyway because of the line/crowd waiting to order/pickup AND apparently there was a bathroom line which accommodates only 1 person at a time. However, there is outdoor seating, but I took my items to-go since there weren't seats there either. I did make it to the checkout counter fairly quickly and ordered a Black Sesame Cappuccino served hot with almond milk, a Black Sesame Cookie (size of a macaron), and a Cherry Almond Cake (~3in diameter). I have to admit that all 3 items tasted great and I thought that the sesame cookie was especially unique, but I had a hard time justifying the steep prices for the quantity served. I would say that for more unique items like the sesame cookie, go ahead and splurge, but the sesame cappuccino and the cherry almond cake you could find similar ones for a better value elsewhere. read more

I've heard a lot of good things about their kaya toast so I decided to come here around 12pm on a Saturday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It wasn't busy at all and there were only a couple of people ahead of me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the kaya toast and the strawberry lassi drink. It looked like there were only a couple small tables in the store so I grabbed one once I had ordered and waited for my friend. My drink came out almost immediately and the toast came out around 5 minutes after. The drink was super tasty and I loved that it wasn't too sweet. Although the drink was good, the toast was the star of the show. It was buttery and the kaya had a strong coconut taste to it. It was a little pricey for both ($20) but that's just SF. read more

First time trying Breadbelly. I've been dying to try their very popular kaya toast. It's GOOD. The milk bread is thick, buttery, a little salty, paired with the sweetness of the Kaya. It is a special treat. We also tried the Korean cornbread cheese egg pastry, the strawberry lychee danish, sesame cappuccino. All good! While the Kaya toast was a sizable portion, most of the other pastries in the case looked way too small IMO. Like they were miniature compared to other bakeries. Tiny. While the ones we tried were delicious and flavor packed, it just felt odd to me to see what I would call tasting menu size pastries. However in a way, that is a nice portion size if you want to try multiple pastries with less guilt. Do I wish they were a little bigger? Yes. Would I buy them again? Yes. Friendly service. Nice little parklet with outdoor seating. Only 1 person in the bathroom at a time and you have to wait for staff to let you in. I would go back! read more

Tried bread belly for the first time ! Tried the Kaya toast , almond cherry cake, yizu coffee, and orange carrot juice. Disappointed with how small the orange carrot juice was. Prob less than 10oz Kaya toast - way too sweet compared to other Kaya jam for me. Sweetness like slightly diluted condensed milk. Scraped the jam off the toast to eat. 5/10 Bread was delicious very fluffy and light 10/10 Would not get the Kaya toast again Yizu coffee- taste like soda with a slight hint of espresso. Not for a creamy coffee lover - is meant to be more of the water coffee taste - friend loved it Would try the Kaya bun next time and revise rating read more

I first learned about this place on social media and I immediately bookmarked it because of the kaya toast. Finally got to visit this place on Saturday. We came at around 1pm. The inside of the store is on the smaller side, and there was a line out the door. However, the line moved quick so we didn't wait very long. Here is what we ordered: * Kaya Toast (9/10): Although pricey at $10 a piece, this was very yummy. I love pandan, and the coconut-pandan jam on milk bread was a great combo. The jam wasn't overly sweet and there was a perfect amount on the toast. * Breakfast Sandwich (9/10): The bread was crispy and soft. I really liked the sauce. There was a sweetness to it and a slight kick. Overall, delicious! * Gyeranbbang (7/10): This was a good savory pastry. However, it didn't amaze me. Of note, I heated this up at home and ate it several hours later. * Apricot Twice-baked Croissant * Black Sesame Cappuccino (8/10): Very enjoyable. Love a black sesame and coffee combo. * Karl's Cappuccino The prices are definitely are the higher side here, but all in all, I would say we had a good experience. 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really like the ambience and the parklet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

A cute little bakery with a good selection of pastries and food. I've tried several of their items and they've all been good, but the thing is always go back to is the kaya toast. Unlike what you'd find in Singapore, they give you a thick slice of milk bread, and generously lay on the kaya jam on top, topped with some flakey salt. It is perfectly sweet and savory. On a nice day, you can enjoy your food in the parklet, or take a stroll around the neighborhood. Not a cheap bakery but it is very delicious. I need to find out if they sell their kaya by the jar, because I would love to have it more often at home. read more

I've been wanting to try this kaya toast for so long and it's worth the hype. They use Japanese milk bread so it's nice and soft. The kaya jam is pretty sweet so it's definitely more of a dessert toast, but a great one. The gyeran ppang was soft and moist but didn't wow me. The matcha latte was really grainy. read more

Kaya toast was really good. The bread is soft and fluffy, and the Kaya sauce with sea salt is perfect. Drinks are not recommended, really MID. The espresso shot in Karl's Cappuccino we got was very thin and doesn't seem like it was dialed in properly, and the Matcha is very generic. The toast is what saved it. The service is okay, but the cashier was not the friendliest. The ambiance is nice, quiet, and parking was easy enough. If I come back here, I'd only get the toast. read more

KAYA BREAD: other yelpers already described it well. Coconut pandan cream on top of a butter salted milk bread toast ($11). Kind of rich and slightly heavy. The black sesame cappuccino ($8), sesame color. They did ask if I wanted regular milk or not. Nice touch.. They opened up for a few seating inside. Outside seating and water outside. 7 to 8 stajj, well oiled machine to keep things going. Separate line for order pick up. I suggest you do that. Mango passion fruit Monkey bread and cinnamon raisin roll were sold out. Be sure to let them know for take out since i was reminded to do so when I already said it twice to the cashier. Makes me feel funny when I'm told i didn't do something and I inconvenienced them. So be clear with your order. My thought is this, would you say this to a tall white dude or dudette? Maybe I'm just thinking of "No Kings Day" today. read more

Breadbelly isn't your everyday coffee and pastry shop--it's definitely more of a special treat. My wife and I stopped by and picked up one 50/50 coffee, a sandwich, a side of karaage chicken, and two pastries, which came out to nearly $60. It's not cheap, but the quality and creativity make it worth the splurge. Seating at the parklet is pretty limited, so it's worth being mindful of others--don't claim a table before getting your food, and try not to linger too long once you're done. Although the line can get long on weekends, the kitchen moves quickly. We waited about 20 minutes in line and another 20 minutes for our food. The egg sandwich with fried tempura was excellent, with a generous amount of egg inside, and the tempura was perfectly fried--crispy and not greasy at all. The bun it came on was light and fluffy. I also really enjoyed the karaage chicken: the breading was light, but the highlight was how juicy the chicken was inside. We ended up saving the pandan bun for later since we were too full after the sandwich and karaage, but even a few hours later it was still delicious. Like the sandwich bun, it was super fluffy and reminded me of a Hong Kong pineapple bun. The filling was just the right level of sweetness, and the bits of puffed rice on top added a nice crunch. If you're ever in the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and stop by Breadbelly for a memorable brunch. read more

I've been here a lot of times and I have mixed feelings. It's pretty hit or miss and the service is not great. Some of the people are really nice but the man I've seen at the register is noticeably unfriendly and weird. The chicken karaage is really great. Juicy, crunchy, flavorful & freshly made. I tried the breakfast sandwich and it was surprisingly bland for the amount of ingredients included in it. I tried my girlfriend's sausage breakfast sandwich and it was also bland. The coffee is good but I don't like a lot of the food items. I have tried a lot of the menu at this point and I only really like the chicken karaage. I wish the sandwiches were spicy or had more flavor. Overall just okay read more

Came here for a quick bite to eat before Outsidelands this year, it is conveniently located a few blocks down from the entrance. We tried a few different items, I got the fried chicken. It was comparable to a popcorn chicken or karage, they were actually really tasty and juicy. They were sprinkled with some spicy pepper, so it added a nice kick. I haven't tried anything else, but would recommend checking this spot out if you're in need of a quick bite! read more

3.5 stars. We've not been back in a few years since when their first opening. There was more seating inside back then and the outside parklet was non existent. Hubby reordered the breakfast sandwich which he doesn't remember trying before. He thought it was good but the chili sauce was a spiciness he didn't expect. I ordered the cornbread cheese roll and Kaya toast. The bread on the Kaya wasn't toasted enough. It was more soft than crispy and too sweet and the coconut flavor wasn't discernible to me. It seemed more jelly-like than the thicker consistency I recall years ago. The cornbread roll was dry, fell apart into crumbly pieces quickly, I wouldn't order this again. My Blk sesame cappuccino wasn't the best I've ever tried but was plenty hot which was good. Glad we returned for a revisit and the menu is more extensive now. If it's raining outside, there limited inside seating for only 6, so mostly a takeout place. Service was sort of slow as there was a gathering of 6-8 waiting inside for their orders or a vacant seat. read more

I tried Breadbelly over the weekend and the kaya toast was a standout. I was expecting the topping to be more of a whipped cream texture, but it ended up being more like a sweet jam. It was definitely on the sweeter side (but the fluffy thick milk bread paired really well with it). There was flaky salt sprinkled on top, which helped balance and bring out the sweetness and overall flavors. read more

We had a friend recommend us this cafe. We went on a Sunday morning and the wait wasn't too long. There was ample street parking nearby too. The coffee was pretty standard here. But we came for the kaya toast and shrimpwich. The kaya toast was very fluffy (maybe too fluffy) and the spread tasted amazing. The shrimpwich on the other hand was good but seemed to be a bit expensive for what it was. They also charge for takeout orders fyi. Overall, great place to stop by and is also within walking distance to presidio. read more

Visited Breadbelly for the hyped Kaya toast and to say the least, it lived up to the hype. The kaya toast was heavenly with the soft milk bread underneath the kaya butter, soft and creamy. Would definitely recommend. We got the cornmeal and egg pastry as well and it was pretty tasty. Had a nice texture and toasty flavor. Definitely recommend a visit for the Kaya toast. read more

My sister and I were so excited to finally try this place for the first time. We ordered the Kaya toast, chicken karaage, & a hot matcha. It was my first time trying Kaya toast and absolutely loved it. The brioche bread was fluffy and light. Chicken karaage was good - they gave huge chunks of chicken. It was great to try this place out. I'd probably try the Kaya bun next time. read more

A quaint little bakery tucked away in the Richmond district of San Francisco. My boyfriend and I came to Breadbelly on a Saturday back in January around 12 am and the line was out the door already (~10 people in line in front of us). Ideally, we should've come around 10:30 am so we would have a bit more selection. By the time we got to the cashier to order, three of the pastries that we were hoping to try were sold out (the Kaya Bun, the Grape Twice-Baked Croissant, and the Black Sesame Brambleberry Danish). We saw the last Kaya Bun and last Grape Twice-Baked croissant disappear before our eyes and it was extra painful to watch knowing it was because someone had ordered it online right before us. Now, we know that online ordering is an option. Since it was our first time at Breadbelly, we wanted to try a bit of everything. We saw that they had a watermelon lychee tea on the menu from Yelp, but it turned out it was from the previous month's menu. It's cool that their menu changes every month or so -- there's always something new to come back to try. This is what we ordered: Pear Lassi - Nice light flavor. It was tart from the yogurt and the pear flavor was not too noticeable, very subtle and had a hint of cinnamon or cardamom flavor. It reminded me of a fall drink. As we got the the bottom of the drink, it started to taste like Yakult. Very refreshing with everything we ordered. Chicken Karage - Light breading. I liked that they used dark meat -- very juicy. The lime paired well with the karage and the karage had a slight spice to it. Pretty good, but wasn't mind blowing to me. Kaya Toast - This one was one of our favorite things we got. 10/10. Loved the presentation and the balance of sweet and salty. The bread was and buttery. It felt simple, but somehow one of our favorites that we ordered. We wished we could've tried the Kaya Bun, Grape Twice-Baked Croissant, and the Black Sesame Brambleberry Danish. Gyeranbbang - Egg-filled cornbread with scallions, chili flakes, and cheddar. We liked it, but liked the other pastries better. The soft boiled egg was lovely. Quince & Manchego Danish - I loved the sweet and salty pairing. Didn't expect this one to work, but it did! I will definitely be making a second trip here soon! Everything was delish read more

First of all, being able to preorder is phenomenal. All these other bakeries that make you stand in hours-long lines please take note!!! The croissants were surprising - they look a bit diminutive compared to some of the other, showier croissants around the city. They don't have as impressive a rise, and the air pockets are not as big and flaky. But there is still a nice crisp and good texture when you eat it! Kaya bun - nice and soft bun. Kaya filling has great flavor and texture, but I wanted more of it for how much bread there was. And I wish the topping was a bit more crisp. Savory options are awesome - biscuit sandwich is delicious and cornbread is very flavorful. read more

Super hipster bakery which attracted me driving by and I saw a bunch of outdoor seating. Decided to give it a try and ordered 1. Black sesame cappuccino: Delicious! The black sesame was really flavorful but not overpowering. The ratio of milk and and black sesame was perfect as well as the sweetness. Perfectly done. The only thing is that they don't fill up the cup to the top and it's on the pricier side of $7 a cup. Overall, service was great and I loved the abundance of outdoor seating. My friend got the Matcha who said it was really good as well. Would definitely be back to try their pastries next time. read more

This is a cute cafe with varieties of pastries, sandwiches and latte/tea. My highlights are: - rhubarb lychee danish: sweet lychee with a bit sourness paired with extra toasted sesame at the bottom. Delicious! - breakfast sandwich: the smoked ham + egg pairs well with the sweet and sour kale & fermented chili paste. It almost tasted like kimchi. - sparkling yuzu Americano: light, refreshing with a dash of espresso and yuzu zest. -1*: small cafe with lack of seating. The Kaya toast w/coconut pandan jam also tasted too sweet for me. 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

Came for the matcha, and will return to try all the various breads. My friends have been mentioning this spot to me ever since I moved out to the Richmond area. It's been on my list and finally after a Monday morning run I decided to take a cool down walk here. The staff is so warm and smiley - I was torn between the egg coffee and the matcha and they let me know that Breadbelly is known for their matcha. I think the matcha is stellar. It is definitely now my top 3 matcha spots in SF. I wish I ordered some of their pastries but post run I just never have a real appetite. Best believe I will come back to have a brunch moment here. They have limited indoor seating and a few tables outside. Yay to more food adventures in 2025! read more

I came to try the Kaya Toast and luckily when I arrived around 12:30pm on a weekday, there wasn't a line and I was able to order and get the toast pretty quickly. There are 2 small tables inside but plenty of open seating on their small patio. The Kaya Toast despite being $10 does live up to the hype! I love kaya jam and have had it many times in Singapore and Breadbelly's kaya may just be the best I've had. The jam is delicious with a strong coconut flavor and not too sweet. The jam is creamy and smooth and while the layer may seem thin, a little jam packs a bunch of flavor. The toast is also nice and fluffy and comes a bit warm which is perfect for the jam on top. Would I pay $10 for a piece of bread with jam on top again, maybe not but it's definitely worth a try! read more

What we ordered: * Matcha Cappuccino 6.5/10 * Sesame Cappuccino 6.5/10 * Guava Chocolate Milk 3/10 * Cheese Danishes 8/10 [Taste: ] Matcha and sesame flavors are all there, but quite light since it's a cappuccino ($7). Guava chocolate does not taste like guava (at all). Comparable to chocolate milk at your local grocery store, except it costs $7 here! Don't recommend. Cheese Danishes ($7.5) had a good crunch with interesting mustard flavors. [Service: ] Good every time I've been here. [Comments: ] Portions are very small compared to the average specialty bakery. I don't mind smaller portions, if they matched the quality of the outrageous pricing. This applies to both the drinks and the baked goods. [Parking: ] Street parking read more

What better way to spend the holidays than getting some bread in my belly? I've been wanting to visit Breadbelly for years, but the timing never aligned. Being so sweet, my companion made plans for us to go on Christmas Eve, which was spectacular. The baked goods shop is lovely, minimalistic, and pretty small. Inside their normal and seasonal menus are displayed. The shop is divided, one section to place your order and pay and the other to pick up your order. There's limited seating inside but a nice parklet with plenty of seating outside. With the shop being small, we waited outside for part of our order. My companion also ordered online and by the time we got there it was ready! Service was efficient and helpful. So the reason I've wanted to visit Breadbelly was specifically for their Kaya Toast. Companion online ordered for us to share: Breakfast Sandwich (no cheese), Kaya Toast, and Black Sesame Brambleberry Danish. Also got a Matcha Cappucino in person for me to sip on which was earthy and frothy. First up, the sandwich. It was savory, a subtle sourness from the kale which reminded me of kimchi, crispy egg, and a nice fluffy bun. We'd both have it again. The Kaya Toast was the winner--fluffy and soft bread, perfect sweet and creamy jam, and a notable coconut pandan flavor. The danish was mind blowing--so many flavors and textures in one. Sweet, crunchy, a little tart this wasa delightful treat. My companion said this was the first place where he's liked everything he's had. I left content and ready to get my hands on the toast again. Fans of Asian and American baked goods will be more than satisfied with visiting Breadbelly. Get their Kaya Toast, you won't be disappointed. Coming during the holiday season, parking is neighborhood or on Clement and not too hard to find. The shop is easy to find on Clement with their bright blue exterior. We will be back, next time I'm bringing my pup! read more

Such a nice asian-inspired bakery! The items are a bit pricey, but definitely worth it every once in a while. Kaya toast ($10): So yummy! The kaya was so creamy and the milk bread was extremely fluffy. Loved the addition of the flaky salt on top. Persimmon twice-baked croissant ($10): Very delicious floral and citrus flavor. The croissant was super crunchy and crispy! This spot is very popular, so expect a bit of a wait to order. Seating is all outside in a parklet. read more

I really liked their breakfast sandwich - it had a nice mix of textures and sweet and savory flavors. The fried egg, smoked ham, gruyere, lettuce, and fermented chile paste created the perfect bite. The Kaya toast was also delicious. I liked how they balanced out the sweetness of the coconut-pandan jam with sea salt, and the milk bread was light and pillowy. Drinks were less impressive. The matcha cappuccino tasted mostly like matcha, and the black sesame cappuccino had an intensely nutty black sesame flavor with a very thick consistency. read more
