I got 2 sandwiches here, the turkey and the Italian hoagie, and it was an execution in KISS*…read more   Open interior, bright and airy, always music. Typical cafe with sandwich situation. If they're busy, they might forget to call your name and you'll need to go get the food yourself, which is frankly impossible to fathom when you come from San Francisco. But Pacifica is different, y'know?   Anyway.  ------------------------------ First, the turkey sandwich. 5/5 I'm guilty of expecting the meat to be the focus on a sandwich, but in this case the turkey was the filler, which, as a carnivore, is there a better meat filler? Bread, dijon, lettuce, turkey, queso. The dijon did for flavor what the lettuce did for texture, throwing in a twang that kept the sandwich interesting. Its creaminess tag-teamed with the cheese to keep the sandwich in one piece. Great sidekicks. The turkey was... Nothing special. Clean but mundane, for the star of the show was the bread.    Some of you might roll your eyes.  No shiet, Sherlock.  THIS. IS.  A bakery.   Cuz some of you might roll your eyes.  It's just bread.    But this isn't wonder-bread. It's dense. It's got a chew.   The sourdough is minimally sour, hearty, with a thick, hard crust, and made matrimony with the turkey. A lil bit of salt, the slightest tang, tango-ing into a single texture. Those of us who've had an egg sando in Japan understand how the softness of the egg salad made the softness of the bread fundamental. The turkey here wasn't slipping anywhere, though it complimented the meatiness of the bread. This, sandwich, needs, teeth.    I hope you weren't expecting to eat turkey without teeth. Perhaps that's tofurkey you're thinking about.   The crust was hard too. A well supported, almost crunchy hardness, and a far cry from the st-ale pork rind that the free bread in Mont-real would remind you of. I ended up turning the sandwich sideway as if I was enjoying a taco.   The best panera you'll get and a supreme sleeper.   ------------------------------ The second sandwich: 4/5 The sesame studded hoagie, on the other hand, was nothing short of Guns N' Roses. This sub had a KISS of intensity from the seared meats, a KISS of spice from the mayo and capocollo, a KISS of sharpness from the provolone, and a single leaf of romaine to give that little crunch and freshness, so you can tell your mom that you ate your veggies. There's going to be a rock concert in your mouth. With each element in a bit to prove their existence, it ended up being too intense for us. With these all being strong flavors, it's amazing that you could still taste everything. And they work well together. It's just that your taste buds will send an SOS, walking out of a Black Sabbath concert feeling a bit drained, like Spongebob breaking down after working the tables at Squidward's five star restaurant. The crustiness of the roll, the studded texture of the sesame, the meat escarpment slipping out, you will have no more desire for thee. Water. Something to cleanse the mouth.   If you're one of those among us who gets sweet emotions eating curry without naan or rice, this could be your bad medicine.   * Keep it simple, stupid.

FOOD: 9/10 COFFEE: 8/10 SERVICE: 8/10 AMBIANCE: 8/10 FOOD: 9/10 I love getting an Avocado Toast from here. Their sourdough is thick and yummy. They lather the toast with a lot of Avocado, so you definitely get what you pay for. I love their generous sprinkle of everything but the bagel seasoning! I love their pastries as well. No notes. No comments. Honestly, just really good, no matter what you pick. Just know, they definitely sell out for sure! COFFEE: 8/10 I've tried 2 different crafted lattes from here and thought they were decent! I ordered a standard Iced Vanilla Oatmilk Latte, and it was okay! It was neither the best I've ever had. I do like how I can taste the espresso shot, and the drink wasn't too milky. I also tried their Seaside Shakerato (I think that's what it's called, I forgot) and that was yummy! I loved the salted caramel taste, but the drink was slightly too milky and sweet for me. I would still get it again, haha. SERVICE: 8/10 Service is pretty standard out here and straightforward. AMBIANCE: 8/10 The space is simple, but the view of the open kitchen, along with the display of freshly baked pastries and loaves of bread, really adds to the ambiance. There's a good amount of indoor seating, though it can fill up quickly in the mornings. Thankfully, they also have outdoor seating available.

When I arrived to pick up my order, a young employee with a ponytail was extremely rude and argumentative. While I was clearly waiting to be helped, she assisted another customer who arrived after me and then argued with me when I brought it to her attention. I understand that busy days happen, but there is no reason to be disrespectful to customers. Good customer service starts with courtesy and professionalism. I hope management addresses this issue so future customers have a better experience.

It's really one of the only Chinese style bakeries around the area so this is the one I typically would go to. The baked goods are decent. It's not any of the best I've ever had but it does satisfy the cravings. They also serve milk tea there or you can also ask for Yin Yang, which is 50% coffee and 50% milk tea. The service is OK the staff there collect your money and get you on your way so really nothing to complain about there. The bake shop and ambience is that of a typical Chinese style bakery you walk in and you grab your tray along with the tongs and you pick out the specific pastries that you want, and you put it on the plate and give it to the staff person at the front near the counter. That's also where you can get your egg tarts and other type of goods such as the more fresh pastries with meat in inside like a cha siew bao. If you pay with cash is cheaper as I believe they charge a surcharge when you pay with credit card. Parking is easy because it is just part of the big plaza area with plenty of parking.

The lechon was BAD, as in the worst I've ever had. It was moist and the skin has a small crunch to it, but to the nose it was VERY odiferous and the taste...SUPER gamey. Tried to add lemon and whatever else I could but it was not good. Sorry. Most places I've gone it's just extra crispy pork belly, but this was...idk... Not many great things I can say about this place. We did have drinks...sago't gulaman. I mainly got it because of what was in it, but also because it said it was "refreshing." I don't know...maybe my idea and their idea of refreshing are different. It was good, but SOOOOO sweet and sugary. Yes, I know it says brown sugar in ingredients, but I didn't think it would be made mainly of it. That is definitely not my type of refreshing. Servers were very nice and friendly. And the food came out relatively fast. I guess the questions is would I ever go back? Probably not. Maybe for starbread, but for Filipino food? There are SO many other better places out there. Maybe we caught them on a bad night but...yeah sorry...no thanks

I've had Cherry Blossom Bakery egg tarts before and really enjoyed them! The crust is perfectly flaky and the custard is lightly sweetened. SO YUMMY!!! Great as a dessert or snack! I've had my share of egg tarts and I think the ones Cherry Blossom makes are one of my favorites in the city. The lady who helped me was nice and efficient. There were many other delectable pastries in the display case, but I intentionally came for egg tarts. I'll have to come back and try other things, but I would still include egg tarts! I ordered a few egg tarts this time. I ate one fresh, but stored some in the refrigerator for a few days in an air tight container. They still looked good after 2 days! Amazing!! Many times I would do the same with other egg tarts from other bakeries and the next day, you would see a crack in the middle, wrinkly custard, or the custard would peel away from the crust. But no problem with these! They store well and taste heavenly! Oh, and they were $2 each. 5 stars!!!

ALSO they sell buttercream but those bad boys are out at room temp in plastic cups. not saying it's a hazard because it really just depends on the style of buttercream..but i am mildly offended that they're selling it! what do you even do with a small pricey container of buttercream? slather it on your face? it doesn't even pair with any of their desserts... drinks are overpriced along with like everything else in the store. matcha batch prepped and oxidized color. i'm pretty sure the only reason why people like the place is because they have seating to eat jagalchi sushi
