Pros: - The staff is really nice - The place looks clean - You have plenty of street (paid) parking Cons: - Most of the items looked and tasted industrial (think what you'd get in bulk at Costco Business), just a few seemed really homemade - Prices were actually even higher than "fancy" bakeries in town in trendy neighborhoods Go buy your $6.95 croissant here... and then drive a couple of blocks to Jane the Bakery, and do the same, the difference will be hard to believe and you'll probably never come back.

I have since bought the sesame scallion bread, which is difficult to make, as sesame oil is not the easiest to bake sourdough with. Yet, they persist. Thus, today's sandwich, crumbs still on my plate as I write this. I took their recommendation for a chicken (vegan) sando with sriracha mayo and baby lettuces and whoa, best sando I've had in a minute. I highly suggest this. Can't wait to try their gochujang bread. These are soulful loaves.

What started as a small home operation quickly rose through farmers markets, and powerful community support into a full commercial bakery. With its creative sourdough flavors and mission rooted in empowerment and community uplift, Rize Up has become a standout Black-owned bakery in the city. From time to time they pop up on TGTG and I was lucky enough to get one today. I had the choice of two loaves (one had to be an OG) or one loaf plus a baguette and pastry- easy decision: two loaves. Always the bacon, cheddar, jalapeño for me. The customer service is next level; the team offers thoughtful recommendations and even recipe ideas to make the most of your bread. Rize Up is truly an SF treasure, the kind of place you root for. You can find their bread at various farmers markets including Saturday at the Ferry Building.

Flavors are Jasmine tea, Vietnamese coffee, pho, sriracha, durian, guava, passion fruit, lychee and cognac. I discovered different flavors I've never had in chocolate. If you're adventurous with flavors, treat yourself or share with others. I love their durian truffle. The smell can be a turn off when you bite into it, but the smooth, creamy flavor is tasty. I wish it was more affordable, so I can indulge in it more often. They sell them in boxes of 4 for $20. I also like the jasmine tea, matcha chocolate. I stop by whenever I get the chance to get some for myself and gifts for others.

Bottom Line Up Front: I'd never heard of this chocolatier…read moreuntil my cousin told me it's actually a big deal. After trying it, I can now see why. The Background: Socola offers high-quality chocolates with unique Vietnamese flavors. A unusual but brilliant concept that produces delicious treats. The Taste: I had the soda chanh, which would normally be a drink with 3 simple ingredients: lime, sugar, and carbonated water. I had no idea what to expect because chocolate is not the first thing I think of what someone says soda chanh, but I have to say this is one of the best white chocolates I've ever had. Somehow the drink flavor works as a chocolate! I also had the toasted coconut and black sesame milk chocolate, which was also unexpected but also delicious. It tastes exactly as it sounds, and yet all the disparate components complement each other perfectly. The Conclusion: Socola offers a unique East-meets-West approach to chocolate that works in such unexpected but amazing ways. The prices are certainly premium rates, but you get what you pay for.

Salty Sweet cookies are the BEST cookies ever. I discovered them years ago at local SF holiday…read moremarkets and then started ordering on Good Eggs, and now their assorted cookie platter is my go-to group dessert for parties and work events (they offer vegan and gluten-free cookies as well). To save on delivery, I often arrange picking up from their commercial kitchen in Bernal Heights. I also often send cookies as care packages and birthday gifts as they deliver anywhere in the U.S. When I emailed them to ask about custom orders, the owner Melissa was so responsive and helpful. Our school PTA ordered individually wrapped cookies to distribute to our teachers for Teacher Appreciation Day - all we had to do was email her a JPG of our school logo and she printed custom stickers for the bags. While all the flavors are spectacular, my favorites are the caramel crunch, sprinkles, and the classic chocolate chip. The limited edition s'mores bar, a cross between a s'more and rice crispy treat and made w/Golden Graham cereal, is also amazing.

Compared to other chocolate shops their pricing is just right for quality chocolates. You can choose which ones you want and they have a wide variety of choices including even ones with liquor. I personally like their hazelnut and peanut butter one. Chocolates are sold in batches of a dozen, 20, 40, and 80 truffles and more. Besides chocolate and ice cream they also have coffees, hot chocolate and Italian sodas. The guy behind the counter was really nice and gave us a sample as well. Its definitely great for gifts or a special treat for yourself.

I go to the stand at the Saratoga Farmers Market…read more They are a legit awesome bakery that doesn't get enough love! Every week they have a huge selection of naturally-leavened (i.e. sourdough) breads, yeast breads, bread-like products, and pastries. The employees are always cheerful, efficient and pleasant and can knock down a line really fast. I'm a huge fan of their absurdly large ginger-molasses cookies and jam scones as well as any of their breads. I feel like there's still such a dearth of good bakeries in the South Bay that aren't "artisanal" and charge an arm and a leg for decent fresh bread, so this stand is a real treasure.

There is an option to pay with cash or credit card. But an extra 50¢ charge for using a credit card. We picked up a variety of pastries to try and to share with family. They have so many choices of bread and pastries. You should be able to find something you'll like. I tried the blueberry almond coffee cake was a huge slice! Despite it being heavy, the cake was moist. Almonds baked on top helped enhance the flavor of the blueberries in the cake. I would definitely come back for this again! We bought hubby their $10 GIANT chocolate chip cookie. It is like the size of your face. We jokingly said it could feed a family of six. HAHA! We were very surprised that the cookie was cooked well. Not raw on the middle, great flavor. Now we need to add ice cream to it. Don't sleep on this buy! It is so worth the money.

I loved the chocolate & the red velvet one - not a big fan of cinnamon but it tasted good too. I felt like the cupcakes were a little bit dry for my liking, but the icing definitely helped with that. I would give 4.5 if I could - would definitely order from here again

Birthday Cake: It looks more like a chocolate frosting on a vanilla cake base and there happens to be sprinkles on top. No sprinkles baked into the cake though. But still delicious, because that chocolate buttercream frosting is so indulgent. Red Velvet: So indulgent. Love the super creamy frosting against the fun red colored cake. Probably the "lightest" of the cupcakes, but still pretty darn filling. Snickers: Probably my favorite. The rich chocolate frosting and caramel on top is delicious, but then there's such a nice surprise of peanuts and caramel baked into the chocolate cake. I'm a big fan of filling inside cupcakes! Kelvy Drop: Was like chocolate overload with chocolate cake, chocolate frosting, chocolate syrup and chocolate chips. I kinda preferred the snickers because it had some other ingredients to offset the chocolate. Oh, and this was the only cupcake I had where the cake base tasted dry and a bit stale; maybe it was the oldest? Vanilla: I guess there's a reason why people say "that's too vanilla for me". Vanilla frosting on vanilla cake was just kind ho-hum compared to all the other tasty flavors. Cookie Butter: Seemed like a frosting made of speculoos. With a cookie piece and cookie crumbs. If you're a big fan of speculoos, you'll love this. Personally, I prefer nutella when it comes to sweet European spreads. Cheesecake Brownie: A large, thick fudgy brownie with only a little bit of cheesecake swirls. It's actually fine in my book, because I really like the brownie part. It was especially nice to have the texture of some chocolate chips baked into the brownie too.
