Cheesecake at the Ferry is great. They have a nice selection and the owner is nice. We tried cookies and cream. Also a slice of one that may have been vegan. It was candy cap mushroom and cashew. It was based on a too good to go so maybe older than a fresh slice of cheesecake. It was dry and crumbly. If we crave cheesecake I'd try a basic plain one next time.

Menu: Slices-$7 & 6-inch whole cheesecakes-$30

3.5 STARS Salmon Lox Cheesecake?! As a lactose intolerant, it's worth the bubble guts to find out! Soft opening in the Ferry Building this week, Nash Bakes offers sweet and savory cheesecakes. The owner started selling cheesecakes in San Carlos and San Mateo, and this is his first permanent space (kiosk). Hours of operation: Open everyday, 10:30 am - 6:30 pm. M E N U Slices: $7 + 6 inch cheesecakes: $30 Current flavors: Vanilla, chocolate, cookies & cream, lemon poppy, raspberry swirl, passionfruit, black sesame, salted caramel, and salmon lox. Highly recommend buying a slice (small palm sized) to taste test before buying a whole cheesecake. * Salmon Lox Cheesecake Slice ($7 x2) Inspired by a salmon lox bagel, the tough bagel crust is layered with very dry crumbly cream cheese with a briny, citrus flavor from the capers and dill. Crowned with buttery, silky smooth cured lox (fav part). The gentleman said, it was baked fresh this morning and to eat it asap (we did) so not sure why the cream cheese was as dry as a scone. * Vanilla Cheesecake Slice ($7) The original fared better but was just ok, dense with a thick, sweet cookie crust. I prefer cheesecakes with a softer, creamy texture. Overall, I was disappointed with the cheesecakes' (2.5 stars) but it's soft opening for a small business so giving them grace. With Basuku and Zanze's gone (I know the latter is available frozen at Little Original Joe's but I miss the charm of their storefront), Nash Bakes may be welcome addition to the city.

Cookies & Cream Cheesecake
Adam B.

Brand new cheesecake stand in the Ferry Building, filling the void of the old cheesecake stand. You can buy it by the slice or the whole cake. The slices look kinda small, compared to like Cheesecake Factory size, but they're rich and filling. Passionfruit Cheesecake: Love the contrast of rich dense cheesecake again tangy fresh passionfruit. They even left the seeds in, for a nice crunch. A good flavorful crust too. Probably my favorite here! Cookies & Cream Cheesecake: A really fun cheesecake. Reminded me of the ice cream, but not frozen. Loved how the crust was made from cookies too. Cookie Monster would definitely approve. Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake: Once again, I love the contrast of fruit and cheesecake. The swirl is more subtle than topping, so the cheesecake is the dominant flavor. But still a nice subtle medley. Salted Caramel Cheesecake: I was kinda expecting this to be more caramel intense. Like why not add some caramel swirls? It was sweeter than regular cheesecake and had a hint of caramel. Probably the least memorable. Black Sesame Cheesecake: This looked like something Wednesday Addams would totally approve of. It also had a not-that-sweet and kinda tahini-like taste. I enjoyed the uniqueness. Savory Salmon Cheesecake: Had to try this just to say I did. It wasn't as horrible as you'd think. The cheesecake is not sweet, so it kinda tasted like an oversized spread of dill cream cheese. The bagel crust is really crumbly. The salmon kinda gets overpowered by all the cheese. The capers and pickled onion add a nice contrast. Glad I tried, but not something I'd go for again.

Stand inside the middle of the ferry building selling slices and whole cheesecakes! I got the black sesame slice and it was good! I appreciated the thick layer of crust at the bottom which is a ratio I prefer. Crust itself was nice and crumbly. Flavor wasn't as strong, interested to try the others!

Lemon Poppy
Courtnie J.

Creamy and flavorful. Used the app Too Good To Go to try out a surprise variety of cheesecakes from Nash Cakes, which I had been eyeing for a while. They were pretty cold when I got them so I let them sit out for 20 minutes before digging in. This really helped bring out their flavors more and prevent any crumbling of the cheesecake when piercing through them with a fork. I tried the Traditional, Candy Cap and Lemon Poppy. All three were delicious, it's hard to really rank them since they all had their own unique flavors. If I had to though, the Traditional would be #1 and then Candy Cap and Lemon Poppy come in at 2nd together. Just depends on what you're in the mood for. Candy Cap being warm with maple notes, Lemon Poppy being fresh with light creamy citrus notes.

It's always nice to see shops and stands opening in the Ferry Building. Watching a local TV news broadcast , I learned about this new stand opening as they interviewed the young lady who manned this shop located by the right entrance door under the clock tower as you face the building. After finishing my Tuesday farmer's market shopping, I stopped here for a look. Looking at their signs, display case, and offerings, I asked for her recommendations, and she mentioned a few flavors. I decided to start off with two slices. The 1st one that I tried at home was the passion fruit cheesecake slice (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=NHsAtlZVAssy83NldRXmxA); it was packed very nicely and very eye catching. It was tasty and not overly rich, dense, or sweet, but the passion fruit flavor was mild. Perhaps my palate is too demanding for that 'wow' factor. I also tried the black sesame cheesecake slice (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=24&select=iTPW2HiCYJf4zOOkiLvBSg), less attractive, but my favorite of the two. Unlike the other one, the flavors here were bold and defined and I really enjoyed the crust that they paired with the cake. I will get this again. Thank you, Courtney, for describing the different flavors and sharing the background of your company. As I am watching my sweets, I am pacing myself in stopping here. I will try the Salted Caramel cheesecake next time I stop by and perhaps get another black sesame.

Looking good!!

Salmon Lox Cheesecake? That's something new this year! Might buy and bite next time. Just had to buy the Black Sesame Cheesecake instead! One of the specials before the seasonal changes. I should never forget to check on a one-man service where the atmosphere inside the Ferry Building was amazing as ever. Nash Bakes was as good as Cheesequakes!

Candy Cap Mushroom with Cashew cheesecake / Cookies and Cream cheesecake
Roro S.

My daughter and I were craving something sweet after eating burgers nearby. Saw this cute little stand selling whole cheesecakes and cheesecake slices. $8 for a slice of cheesecake is pretty pricey especially for the size of it but I was intrigued by the flavor options. I ended up grabbing the Candy Cap Mushroom with cashew slice and the cookies and cream slice because I mean... you can't go wrong with cookies and cream? Ate these when I got home and I was intrigued shock how good each slice was! I have to say the Candy Cap Mushroom with Cashew was my favorite. I didn't know exactly what to expect flavor wise but I guess you can say it tastes like maple syrup??? Anyways it was really good and I would definitely come back to this stand to try the other flavors they have next time! I still think $8 a slice for a tiny slice is a bit much but like I said, I would come back again still to try the other flavors.

Perfect cheesecake

Arsicault Bakery - Richmond District, San Francisco (94118)…read more This small, charming bakery is absolutely worth the visit! Yes, there's almost always a line, but don't let that discourage you--the staff keeps it moving quickly, making the wait fast and efficient. The pastries are incredibly delicious. Their giant croissants are buttery, with soft, airy layers on the inside and a perfectly crispy, flaky exterior. Every bite is heavenly! My personal favorite is the cranberry scone. It's tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. For the best experience, enjoy your pastries while they're still warm--they taste even better fresh out of the oven. Payment is easy since they accept both credit cards and cash. If you're a pastry lover, Arsicault Bakery is definitely a must-visit in San Francisco. We highly recommend it!

I came by on a Friday around 11 am and it was so hard to find parking. There's street parking available but it was all filled up and I ended up getting dropped off since I saw the line forming outside the bakery. The line was only formed because the bakery is relatively small and doesn't have a lot of wiggle room so they only let in one party at a time. There aren't any sit-down tables or chairs so this is a grab and enjoy somewhere else. Pastry: Kouign-amann (8.4/10): Oh this was yummy. I love a good kouign amann and Arsicault satisfied my sweet tooth. It was a little too sweet but had a good outer layer crunch and fluffy interior. Chocolate Almond Croissant (7.8/10): This one was amazing! I will say that this one is definitely on the sweeter side but it was still delicious. It's a pretty big croissant with a good crunch but not a lot of flaking :( I did really enjoy the almond paste that was smothered on the inside. My boyfriend really enjoyed this croissant and wouldn't stop talking about it for a few hours.

Wow, this was such an amazing spot. Stopped by for a day in San Francisco before going to Europe…read more Heard all the hype about this spot so I had to drop by. We waited about an hour on a Friday morning. On to the baked goods, it was some of the best bakery goods I've tried ever. Everything was delicious in every way. My favorite had to be the coffee cake, the elote corn, and the Lorraine. Wow, so damn good. I know their menu changes, but it's a must try as their base dough for all their items are PERFECT. Each bite is amazing with such a crunch. Their corn latte was also super delicious.

After hearing all the hype and braving a near 2 HOUR wait in line....sorry, it wasn't quite up to…read morepar for me. There are better bakeries for lower effort. Let's start with the good. The namesake Pistachio Cardamom croissant was excellent for a filled croissant. It had excellent layers and the cream was just enough to add a lusciousness to each bite that wasn't too heavy. The madame lorraine was my other favorite. It was meaty and rich with the soft baked runny yolk and the light touch of rosemary was just enough to accentuate the bite. The not as good...a standard butter croissant. Maybe we got a dud but there was a serious lack of layers in ours and it wasn't as crisp or as buttery as I like. The elote corn croquiche filling was also quite salty which was a shame because the pastry layer was pretty good. I still have two more pastries to try but given the weight and the mixed bag, I definitely expected a lot more from Butter & Crumble. Pro tip: get a butter croissant at Arsicault, walk to B Patisserie and get a kouign amann. You'll have both before the line moves here.

Tartine absolutely lives up to its reputation. We tried the chocolate chip cookie, turkey sandwich,…read morefruit tart, and corn salad, and everything felt thoughtfully made with high-quality ingredients! The chocolate chip cookie had crisp edges, a soft center, and plenty of rich chocolate without being overly sweet with the salt touch. The turkey sandwich had soft bread, quality turkey, and the chicken skin is unique and provided a balance would love to try a panini next. The fruit tart was beautiful and incredibly fresh, with perfectly ripe fruit and a light, creamy filling that wasn't too sweet. The corn salad was a pleasant surprise too and maybe a favorite with bright herby bites that complemented the richer bakery items. Everything tasted fresh, and you can tell Tartine focuses on quality rather than overcomplicating dishes. Expect a line, especially during peak hours, but it's worth the wait. Whether you're stopping in for pastries or lunch, it's an iconic San Francisco bakery that's easy to recommend.

Otherwise, it's just banana on a pie crust w/ thin chocolate shell, topped by whipped cream.

I've always wanted to try this place since I see a line every time I walked by. There's a lot of foot and car traffic. It's definitely a busy area so expect to park in one of the nearby residential areas or be extremely and walk/bike/bus here! Upon stepping into the tiny shop, I was enveloped in the sweet smell of chocolate chip cookies. It was tempting to put that in my bag, but I stuck with my game plan. They do self serve for all the baked goods and drinks except the pizza and focaccia. You tell the cashier what you grabbed. There's self serve complimentary water on the side too. Got a pecan swirl, one of each square focaccia flavors, and a half pizza (hot). The pizza flavor of the day was triple mushroom with sesame ginger garlic vinaigrette and mozzarella. It was 10/10 delicious!! Do note that they don't heat up the focaccia. Personally, after tasting everything, I'd say the pizza is more worth it than the focaccia "pizzas". The pecan roll was quite addicting too. You can also skip the line if you want to order online on their website and schedule a pick up time, but my gift card didn't work so I just waited in line.

While it's not my first time here, it's been a long time and we tried something new and unique: CHEWIE COOKIE - $9 each They had 2 flavors and since we couldn't decide on which, we got both! And man I really get the hype of adding Katalfi into the mix. It's like today's rice crisps in a chocolate bar. Only, you add pistachio cream into the mix! These "cookies" are wrapped in a layer of soft chewy mochi, and when you bit into it, there's an amazing sweet crunch from the Katalfi. They advise to wait 15 minutes before eating since it's kept fridge rated. Worth giving a try! MATCHA CHEWIE COOKIE - Matcha Marshmallow with matcha Katalfi filling. DUBAI CHEWIE COOKIE - Cocoa marshmallow with Pistachio, Katalfi, and Milk Chocolate. It seems a lot of items were sold out by the time we got there, but not these "CHEWIE COOKIES!"

Food: The spinach and feta croissant was extremely well made with a slight hint of lemon to boost the flavor of the feta inside the croissant. I personally would have preferred a little more color on the croissant and crispier exterior but overall very tasty. Mexican Chocolate muffin was a nice size for the price of the muffin. However, I felt that the level of spice from the cayenne was a little overpowering and drowned out some of the chocolate notes. Overall, A very delicious bakery with good pastries and a lot of options to choose from. Staff extremely friendly and service quick. An easy to get to and plentiful option bakery for everyone.
