This is a spot that lives up to the hype. If you order ahead you can skip the line and go straight to the pickup counter. It was easy, quick, and convenient. The kaya toast and blueberry croissant tart were our favorites, but everything we tried was delicious. I will be back!

Disappointing experience. Very rude and impersonal cashier did not exactly make for a warm welcome. To find out that a 5% "staff health & wellbeing" fee is added on to every bill does not exactly soften that blow. Feels pretty lame for business owners to pass along their overhead costs to customers. On top of that, the prices are extremely high for what you get. A $3.50 banana "cake" is literally one bite (see photo). The gyeranbbang was tasty but again small for the price ($7.50). There is very limited indoor seating and no WiFi. The water cups were dirty. The one staff member cleaning the outdoor tables was nice, probably the only thing saving this review from a one-star.

I've heard so much about the Kaya toast and it definitely lived up to the hype. The milk bread was toasted, with a slightly sweet, pillowy soft interior. The pandan coconut custard jam had a great flavor and was super smooth. The addition of flaky salt on top was a good addition for both texture and sweet-salty balance. For a savory addition, I tried the chicken cutlet, which was juicy, freshly fried, and had a good five spice flavor. Overall, excellent food with a creative menu I look forward to exploring more. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's very limited seating (2-3 small tables) inside, but more table and bench seating outdoors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was quick and friendly, and it's easy to order ahead to pick up.

We came here as a recommendation from a coworker. We came on a Sunday afternoon, and it was very busy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have indoor and outdoor seatings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The wait wasn't too long before we ordered the Kaya toast and Kaya bun. The Kaya toast was so delicious. The toast had a very soft texture like a croissant and the Kaya pandan cream complements it so well. This was devoured very quickly. The Kaya bun was just okay in our opinion. We will definitely be back for the Kaya toast and to try their other menu items. I saw a lot of people with the breakfast sandwich and matcha.

Wow, the Kaya toast and iced black sesame cappuccino were delicious. Both are must-order items if you're craving a sweet treat. Make sure to mix the iced drink well since the sweet part sinks to the bottom. It is soooo good when mixed and has a balanced nutty flavor. The bread for the Kaya toast is a thick perfect piece of milk bread and the pandan coconut custard jam on top is to die for. The little bit of flaky salt is such a nice touch that perfectly balances all the flavors. YUM! Staff were wonderful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a ton of seating outside which was perfect to enjoy the nice weather.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Line moved quickly and service was fast too!

Breadbelly attracts a crowd, particularly on weekends, where the lengthy line out the door cannot easily be ignored. Most people are here for the viral kaya toast, which is as delicious as they say--a sweet coconut-and-pandan spread sprinkled with just a bit of salt to enhance the flavor. Their other food items can be mixed; I felt the breakfast sandwich was tasty but lacking in substance. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is not much in the way of seating indoors, but the patio out front is pleasant on a nice day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

I ordered ahead online. Skipped the line. I was at the very short pick up line. I was given a bag. Went on my way. Then heard my name, told i was given the wrong bag. Got the right bag. Then I looked into the bag and think there is something missing. Good thing I was only two doors down. I checked my phone. I knew I had 4 items but couldn't figure out what is missing. I ordered through Toast so I got comparing. Oh, the cheesecake was missing. They had put in refrigerator knowing letting it sit out was not good. Went back and got my cheesecake. Please check your orders. If you have time go to YouTube to watch Bon Appetit. They featured May, the baker going through what she does at 4 am to bake all these goodies. The ube not ube tart is super sweet. The cornbread with egg was just ok. I taste corn bread. A bit salty. Wished the egg had better flavor. My black sesame cookie reminded me of an asian alfajores. Very black sesame flavor with not-so-sweet caramel in the center. It was $5. Things are pricey but I'm sure the workers are nicely paid. Saved cheesecake for later. Strangely it came with a separate bag of crackers.

Going down Clement street in San Francisco it changes once you go past Park Presidio Blvd. You will notice there are less stores and restaurants than the first mile of Clement street. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You will also find a bakery on 15th Avenue and Clement which is always crowded and cramped with people when I go at anytime of the weekday and weekend to get some pastries[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . It has Asian inspired bake goods along with hot and cold drinks. You will find bake goods such as Cherry almond cake, Mt. Tam Basque Cheesecake and purple sweet potato Not-Ube Tart. You will see on the menu made to order sandwiches like these egg salad bunwich and Biscuit Smash. You will also find the Shrimpwich and Taiwanese-style fried chicken cutlet sandwich. It's called the Breadbelly in the Richmond District of San Francisco. On a Spring stroll in search of matcha on a rainy day in SF , Don Juan de la Matcha found some warm matcha. I came to Breadbelly for the green items like the Kaya toast and Matcha. I decided to get the Matcha cappuccino which was smooth warm and not too sweet. Although it was only 8 ounces every drop was strong and packed a punch ( not the viral monkey). I then had the Kaya toast and it was a bit sweet and not too flakey like some in SF. The green Pandan jam on the Kaya toast was a bit savory but delicious . [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are few canary yellow tables to sit inside and a lot more seating outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall a good place to grab and pair a green dessert and a green drink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Go on a Spring stroll past by the Park Presidio green "trees" in San Francisco where the weather can easily change in one day and go from 50 to 70 "degrees" you also can grab a sandwich like the fried chicken cutlet which the style of "Taiwanese"and the matcha which is done in the style of the "Japanese " Come for a "break" at Breadbelly where they "bake "the Kumquat Twice-Baked Croissant and other baked goods like some in SF which "flake"and make it a meal and try their egg salad bunwich , matcha cappuccino, and cherry almond "cake"

Had a little extra time today. So. Hubby and I went to get breakfast. Breadbelly Biscuit Smash - buttermilk biscuit, black pepper sausage patty, scallion omelette, peanut romesco sauce, new school American cheese The biscuit was so crunchy, the egg cooked just right and the sausage was cooked perfect. So tender. Classic Croissant - croissant made with Beurre d'Isigny, French Normandy butter All the associate's there provided great service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The deco was very simple and nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had a great outdoor seating area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is a must visit.

Hadn't been here in years but glad to see Breadbelly thriving! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was packed on a Sunday afternoon, lots of folks out in the parklet and inside as well in the limited seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Most pastries were sold out, just a few options left at 1:30. Kumquat twice baked was on the sweeter side as most twice baked croissants are. Don't see kumquat often so was glad to try it, but wasn't my fave since it was pretty dense, especially with the crumble on top. Black sesame cappuccino was small but mighty, very flavorful, and I especially appreciated staff giving me a heads up that it's typically on the sweeter side, giving me the option to dial that down per my preference. I think the kumquat croissant was $10 and the black sesame cappuccino $7, so on the high end for sure.

Been wanting to try this place after seeing it everywhere online. I came around 12 pm on a Saturday, and the wait wasn't too long to order and receive our food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside doesn't have much standing or seating space, but there's a large parklet out front with plenty of room to sit and enjoy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Kaya Toast (9.5/10): Definitely as good as it looks. The inside of the bread is super soft and fluffy, with a croissant-like buttery flavor. The jam is sweet with a prominent coconut-pandan note and pairs perfectly with the crispy toast to create the perfect bite. Extremely delicious and well worth the hype. Breakfast Sandwich (6/10): Pretty disappointing after the toast. Overall, it felt very boring and didn't bring much excitement. I wish the ham had more presence in each bite, the lettuce felt out of place for a breakfast sandwich, and I couldn't really taste the chili paste. I liked the sweet and sour kale, but it got lost among the other components. The sandwich was also messy to eat, with a mix of textures that didn't quite work together. The best part was the bun, almost like a perfect burger bun, which saved it from being a complete miss. I think Breadbelly really shines with its sweet and baked goods. I'd definitely come back for the Kaya Toast and to try more items from the display case. Savory items don't seem to be their strong suit, and I'd probably skip those next time. Still, the high from the toast gives me a lot of hope for the rest of their menu and makes me recommend it overall.

Breadbelly is a pretty good bakery in the Inner Richmond in San Francisco, and one of the best parts is that there is hardly a line. In a city where many bakeries have people waiting down the block, that alone is refreshing. The kaya toast was the standout. The balance of sweet coconut jam, butter, and crisp toast was excellent and easily the highlight of the visit. The breakfast sandwich was just alright. It was solid but did not quite reach the same level as the kaya toast. The coffee was good and paired well with the food. Overall, it is a nice neighborhood bakery. I would definitely come back if I were in the area and did not feel like waiting in line at one of the more popular bakeries around the city.

The food is very good and fresh. The service is generally minimal and nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is nice but small, mostly outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My only gripe is this place is way too expensive. I usually get a pastry or the Kaya toast. It's well over $10 for a location that only has outdoor seating and they ask for a tip. The wait is also extremely long. Like way too long and it doesn't matter the day. I was there today on a Thursday morning and it took like 15 mins. Part of the reason is they wait for many orders to be done before they get yours, like a batching system. The Kaya toast while good is not a normal thing for the length of time. If you're gonna be expensive, be fast. The Kaya wasn't made right now and the bread was sliced and toasted. The expensive price structure is a shared sentiment amongst many people I've talked to.
