    I got caught in the rain when I was strolling on Mission. When I turned the corner on 16th Street, I realized there was a panaderia that could provide me with a brief respite from the downpour. My all-too-common experience with panaderias was that the pan dulce looked better than it actually tasted. I kept looking at the Chocolate Cake with the curly-Q icing on top. I was having a baby boomer flashback to those Hostess cupcakes my mom would put in my Superman lunch box. At around $3 each, I decided to get also a pink Concha and take them home to reward myself for surviving the rain (photo: https://yelp.to/ZegLQ2BOIE). They were tastier than I expected, moister and sweeter than previous ones I've bought on 24th Street. So I found myself on 16th a couple of weeks later. This time I picked out the $2.08 Nino Envuelto and the $3.64 Panque Marmoleado (photo: https://yelp.to/HNXVJYDJiy). Aren't you impressed by my Spanish? OK, I took a snap of the order screen. The Nino Envuelto was a slice of a cake roll slathered with strawberry jam and sprinkled with coconut shavings. The Panque Marmoleado was a homestyle marbled pound cake. I'll be back. PAN DULCE - 4 stars...better than most because they tasted moist and just sweet enough AMBIANCE - 4 stars...clean, sparse, just a couple of tables SERVICE - 4 stars...friendly and attentive TOTAL - 4 stars...could become my go-to panaderia RELATED - Exploring the Mission?

    Conchas and polvorones and muffins oh my!!!

    We stopped in after lunch next door at Cocina Mayah (which was delicious btw, go check them out too...) and took a few pastries home for our weekend treat. We picked up two conchas, a sweet cornbread muffin, a ring shaped pastry and a couple of wedding cookies. For me, the wedding cookies were the absolute star of the show. They were light and flakey and sweet without being overpowering ... and they just melted right in your mouth. Outstanding. The conchas were good also, especially dipped in milk or coffee, and they seemed to have a touch of cinnamon in the dough perhaps...which set them apart from others that I've had. The cornbread muffin was very nice if a bit sweet for me, and the ring pastry was not something I'd seen before. I almost don't know what to compare it to. It's a very flakey dough and not very sweet at all. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it but it really grew on me and it would be very good with a cup of hot tea. Those cookies though. Awesome. We'll be back for sure.

    I go to Merida Yucatan about 6 times and a year and I have always missed their cafes. This bakery makes identical pasties! Their Hojaldra's are the best around. Every bite is a burst of memory. It looks like your normal bakery but the pastries shine enough. There is no special ambiance. Walking in you get a breath full of sweet air. The employees are kind and speedy.

    Best wedding cookies in SF. Texture and flavor are excellent. Great treat and worth every calorie!

    Cozy, upscale cafe located in the vibrant Russian Hill neighborhood…read more I went on a Monday afternoon and there was a great crowd there. Lively customers and staff, good vibes! There was a lot of natural light in the coffee shop, definitely a visually-appealing, 'aesthetic' place. I got an iced red tea and it was delicious. The tea was botanical, smooth and fragrant. Amazing experience! Excited to come back and try the coffee and pastries, which looked super fresh.

It seems like there's also an upstairs but did not get the chance to check it out. I got an iced latte with their almond macadamia milk, and they're also so nice to do complimentary cold brew! So we got an extra drink for free. Trying the iced latte, it was pretty disappointing lol. I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.

After I ordered, I took a seat in the waiting area by the Togo window to wait for my order. There was plenty of tables for dining in, but they were filled so I grabbed my order to eat outside. There was a little area in the front of the store for you to eat at. Stonemill matcha has been on my radar for a long time now and I'm happy to say I was not disappointed. I ordered the matchazuke 4.5/5 and the matcha latte 4/5 and they were both delicious. The matchazuke was perfectly savory, each bite packed full of umami. The piece of salmon was seasoned nicely, not too salty and paired perfectly with the matcha. The matcha broth was so comforting, you could taste the bonito dashi they used to make it. I was worried the portion would be too small but it was pretty filling! The matcha latte had a beautiful deep green color and was creamy and not too sweet. I did noticed that it was a little grainy, which was the only thing I didnt like about this experience. My partner ordered a hojicha latte and said it was a 5/5 and it's her new favorite place to get hojicha latte in SF. I would definitely come back and try more of their menu. I'm eyeing that matcha silk pie!

The pork was nicely cooked. The fish katsu sandos were good, but did not compare to the pork katsu ones in terms of flavor and wow factor. Of course had to get a drink while here! I tried the hojicha with strawberry. The strawberry paired nicely with the hojicha without overpowering it. The hojicha was nutty and earthy. There is a line to order for takeout in the restaurant and pick up is outside through a window.

It's located at the filthy corner of 4th and Clara, which made the outside smell of urine. Fortunately the cafe itself is pretty clean, which is a nice escape from the street. I ordered an Americano and my friend got one of their $8+ lattes, which were fine, but nothing special. My biggest gripe was the service and absolute scorn of the customer. My friend and I sat at the counter basically in a staring contest with the woman behind the counter, who just stared right back. After some 30 seconds, we finally flagging her down to place our order. After turning around the drinks suspiciously quickly, my friend and I sat down to catch-up in the empty cafe. Before long, the barista pumps up the volume, increasing higher and higher every 5 minutes or so, as if to signal to us that our time was up. I asked her to turn down the volume, which she tuned down from an 11 to a 7, but minutes later it continued to creep up, like the snooze setting of an alarm clock coaxing you to wake up - except in this case, to get out. Ultimately, the volume got unbearable and we finally threw in the towel and got out of there to let the barista enjoy her music. Definitely never going back there - they clearly don't want the business. Food: 5/10 Service: 0/10 Price: $$ Atmosphere: 4/10
