    To go in their patio
    Shin C.

    First time here per recommendation and they have this loyalty program called Blackbird that they encourage you to sign up for. So I did but what they don't tell you is that you need to save your credit card in the app in order for it to work. With so many data breaches, I don't do this for my own security. Having already sunk in the time and effort, I went ahead to save the payment so I can scan and move on. Unfortunately, it didn't scan at the puck and we couldn't figure out why. I thought this would be more like Five Stars or other app loyalty programs but it's definitely more entrenched and requires more of your data to they can track and sell. We spent over 15 minutes trying to figure this out and in the end, the manager was apologetic and gave us our order for free. We left a $20 tip but I still feel duped over their loyalty program. The cashier didn't know too much about it and couldn't help me navigate, and the manager couldn't figure out why we couldn't scan. I gave three stars instead of one because the attitudes of the employees were really good but I'm still upset over what I feel was a duplicitous program, having handed over my data, and for wasting so much of my time. The matcha latte is not sweet and taste very much like ceremonial matcha. The Americanos are good. The food looks good but I'm too upset to eat unfortunately. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Anyway, they have benches in some stalls outside but no table which make sit difficult to eat[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Bread pudding muffin
    Victoria N.

    I came at the end of the day, so their most popular pastries had sold out. I'm not the biggest fan of bread pudding in general, but the bread pudding muffin was their only unique pastry left so I ordered. It was good! If you like bread pudding, you'd like it! It was unique and interesting and tasty. No seating and just standing room. Staff were so lovely with explaining their pastries.

    This one has high ratings and reviews, but I've never managed to make it here early enough to experience their full selection. Every time I visit, it's usually close to closing time, so there are only a few bread and pastry options left. Even so, the shop is always busy, which says a lot about how popular it is. This time, I tried the chocolate coconut brioche. The price was reasonable, and the flavor was pretty good. Bread was soft with some kind of sweet jam, not the freshest but it's okay. I noticed from other photo reviews that they offer several savory pastries as well, and they look really tempting. I'll definitely come back earlier next time to give those a try.

    first time to go enjoy Jane the bakery! [[HIGHLIGHT]]the line outside was not too bad but there were no seats inside to enjoy the pastries![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] the cookies were the star of the show! didnt really like anything else! [[HIGHLIGHT]]ambiance is a nice pastry place with long lines over the weekend![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Smells so good from blocks away![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have so much varieties of sweet and savory pastries, bread and sandwiches to choose from! We tried roast beef sandwich and prosciutto burrata sandwich and the bread itself was pretty good even after having it the next day. For pastries, we had the olive & pistachio twist and raspberry brioche. They were both not too sweet and had their own taste of texture. They also have coffee which I'll try next time! They have a parking lot so it's pretty convenient for a quick grab! Will definitely come back here to explored the rest of their menu!

    There's a small parking lot that usually have people move in and out pretty quickly so very convenient if you're driving in! There was a short line around lunch time on a Saturday that moved very fast. Lots of choices from sandwiches to cookies to bread to pastries that all are very visually appealing. They do run out of certain types of pastry such as their cinnamon roll so you should come earlier for those. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's an outdoor seating area for you to enjoy the pastry at the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can also pay with Blackbird here which is convenient. There's more variety than Arsicault, but if you're looking for crossiants, the ones here are definitely not as good.

    Cheddar chive biscuit
    Linda C.

    Cheddar chive biscuit 3.5/5 - wouldve been better with something but on its own as a breakfast pastry I thought it was ok Bacon cheddar caramelized onion quiche 5/5 - very tasty. I just wish they had a healthier alternative, for example with spinach or chicken breast Mushroom Gruyère tart 4/5 - my favorite part was the mushroom center, rest was ok Spicy sausage Gruyère croissant 2/5 - too greasy. Sausage didn't have much flavor. Bacon cheddar scramble hot pocket 3.5/5 - tasty but heavy

    Good selection here! Pop right in and browse. try something! there are ready to go cookies and little baggies if you want something grab and go or for a little gift. there's sweet and there's savory items too. i myself like to try what looks new to me, so recently i had a japanese style fermented beans and pickles on a bread pastry. very interesting. the items go fast so if the person in front of you picks up the last of what you wanted, youre just out of luck. happened to me twice. but i cant leave without getting something, so just pick something else to try! LIMITED parking. best to walk here or find street parking

    Too many options! Hee

    This was my first time ever going to this bakery and goodness I loved everything I got, yet I was disappointed that my strawberry danish went bad when I went to eat at the next day. I have a marble countertop where it stays rather cold, and I placed the pastry on the counter there so it would stay cold so I could eat it for breakfast Sunday morning yet when I went to eat it, I found the mole. I could still eat the pastry around it since the only part was bad with the strawberry. Lol, but it made me wonder if the strawberries were freshly made that day or from another morning. As I walked into the bakery, there was a line in front of me that moved rather quickly so it took maybe 5 to 10 minutes for me to get my order and I ordered eight different pastries! Lol Service was rather quickly and the lady surfing me was very patient since I walked back-and-forth between different Pastory cases since I couldn't see everything as I walked up to the front. I love their assortment of savory pastries with mushrooms and other savory pizza like items as well as their sweets that they had like the danish and coffee cake. They also had a number of gluten-free items that were delicious as well! The gluten-free crumble coffee cake I got was simply superb! I could eat it and feel guilt free since I have a slight allergy to gluten. Lol I have cheap days though! I will definitely be back again and next time I will eat my strawberry danish, the first day!

    Black sesame strawberry flan
    Alicia C.

    Black sesame flan for the fam and it didn't have any black sesame taste- we were a bit skeptical western bakeries wouldn't know how to do black sesame and it was really tart. Not enough black sesame. The person at the counter did his best to sell everything as really good but in reality it wasn't.

    Swiss Chard Galette
    Kendra S.

    Wow, what a sweet spot to visit while we were in town for my birthday! Chris & Megan were both wonderful in offering us some recommendations and boy were they right! Chris recommended the babka (we decided on the apple butter version) and the twice baked ham & swiss croissant & Megan recommended the Blackberry Kouign Amann. The babka reminds me of monkey bread, sticky and delicious until the last bite! The ham & Swiss croissant is melty and delicious and just falls apart in your mouth beautifully. The blackberry kouign amann, no idea what I even ate but boy I can't wait to have it again and the crisp on the outside reminds me of the top of a crème brûlée. The crème/yogurt filling was SO good. We also tried the Swiss chard galette, it tasted like a filled classic biscuit without the gravy, and finally, I got a hot chocolate for the road and even that exceeded expectations & tasted straight like a melted chocolate bar! If you're in town or a local, you've got to pay this spot a visit!

    cappuccino, cardamom bun
    Sonya H.

    Great coffee and tasty pastries -- what more can you ask for? I frequently (perhaps too frequently...) drop by Jane for a quick bite before work, and I'm always impressed by the wide spread of pastries, ranging from the classics to creative and unique confections. I first tried my go-to baseline -- a chocolate croissant and cappuccino -- and I was quite impressed overall! The croissant was buttery and flakey, and it had plenty of chocolate. If anything, it might have had slightly too much chocolate for my taste, since it was quite a bit sweeter than I'm used to, but that might be a controversial take. I've branched out in subsequent visits, often heavily influenced by whatever the person in front of me ordered. I adore their cardamom bun, which is flakey, buttery, and sweet but not overly so. The bun is filled with a vanilla cream that's tasty and surprisingly light (and lightly sweetened), creating a really tasty and balanced treat. For something more savory, I also love their olive and pistachio twist. It is, again, buttery and flakey, but has a great punch of flavor from the generous helping of olives. I love the added nuttiness from the ground pistachios; I will warn you that it does get stuck to your teeth pretty easily, so I'd enjoy this with water. The staff was super friendly and efficient -- I was in and out within five minutes, which included my indecision at the counter -- so it's a great spot if you're in a rush. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There isn't any indoor space to sit down, but there's a standing counter along the window or a few communal booths outside that you can hang out at.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The coffee is nice and nutty, and I love getting the cappuccino here to more fully taste the flavor of the beans. They recently started trying out a new type of almond milk that comes in powder form, so the baristas can adjust the level of water (and therefore the consistency and flavor). It's a bit sweetened but not much, so I love that they're able to make the milk a bit creamier and overcome the classic barista challenge with almond milk -- the wateriness. As they were testing it out, the baristas also asked for customer input, so it was super fun to chat and brainstorm with them, and I loved how open to feedback they are.

I arrived at the bakery before it opened on a weekend morning, and there were already a couple of brave souls in line. I waited only about 25 minutes for the bakery to open, and once doors officially opened to customers, I was in and out in no time with my fresh pastries in hand. I enjoyed my almond croissant as soon as I got back home, and now I fully understand why Arsicault is at the top of everyone's SF bakery list. The almond croissant was still warm, the inside struck the perfect balance between fluffy and gooey (from the almond paste), and the exterior was nicely crisped. The almond filling is super rich and decadent yet not overly sweet. I also noticed - and appreciate - how Arsicault's almond croissant doesn't include toasted almonds on top, since these can often get over-baked and taste bitter. I definitely agree this is one of the best pastries in SF now.

    It's been a little over a year since my first time trying B&C, and things have definitely changed…read moresince then--in a good way! I definitely feel like the team implementing the 7:45AM start time to line up has helped a lot. Not only is it better for the neighbors, but it also makes the whole experience feel a lot less chaotic compared to showing up super early and scrambling to get in line. Everything feels much calmer and organized now. As for the pastries: To be honest, it really depends on what you like. I'm one that gravitates towards pretty much anything with meat and chocolate. Because of that, most of their savory/meaty and creamy pastries are always a must for me. They're super flaky, flavorful and decadent. You can really tell how much time and effort they put into making everything as high quality as possible, especially since you can see them making everything from the window while waiting in line. All in all, I think there's been a lot of improvement over the past year with some trial and error. Their pastries have always been delicious and I personally think it's worth the wait. I recommend getting to the area closer to 7:45AM so you have a better chance of being towards the front of the line. If not, it's still better to come before opening, I just wouldn't recommend getting there right before they open. By then it's not guaranteed that you'll get everything you want since they do run out depending on how many people are there.

My husband got in line while I waited outside. It's on the first floor of the Japan Center Malls and easy to find in the corner. While the line was long it moved quickly and we ended up ordering two drinks and a few pastries. We had the drinks right away and I enjoyed their honeycomb toffee latte ($8.25) while my husband ordered a flavored lemonade. The Honeycomb latte wasn't overly sweet and the honeycomb on top was a nice treat. The honeycomb itself was sweet and crunchy and you can either pick it out and eat it or stir it into your drink and let it melt. The lemonade my husband ordered was on the sweeter side, but was super refreshing for summer. If you like sweet you'll like this- if you prefer less sweet or tart it may not be for you.

The chocolate chip cookie had dark chocolate and was really rich and satisfying. The last pastry I forget the name of but it was like a cinnamon roll but with an orange glaze and some cocoa powder, this one was also delicious and not overly sweet. They had some savory options that were sold out when we visited and we would definitely visit again to try those and more items from the menu. We can see why this spot is so popular.
