    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

    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!

    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

    Cheese cake is super tasty. These days whenever I come by I would get one and eat it up right there in the ferry building.

    Although they don't serve variations of buttercups, A Buttercup is one of the few dessert houses…read moreoffering Taiwanese-style treats like Bingsoo, Milk Bread Toast, and other Asian fusion creations. I'm always hunting for spots like this because I have a weakness for those over-the-top, Instagram-worthy desserts that look like diabetes in a dish. Like most places in this genre, A Buttercup is small, modern, and minimalist with limited seating. If you plan to go, aim for off-hours unless you enjoy waiting in line for sugar. The decor is cute and trendy, perfect for photos if that's part of your dessert ritual. As they say, "you eat with your eyes first," and when it comes to presentation, this place definitely gets an A+. The desserts look stunning and set high expectations. Unfortunately, that's where things started to crumble. It's like going to see your favorite artist live. You've watched the videos, memorized the songs, and paid for the experience. But instead of the electric performance you imagined, you get someone lip-syncing and barely connecting with the crowd. That was this place in dessert form. We ordered the Mango Bingsoo on our first visit, and when it arrived, we were surprised by how small the portion was. The guy next to us even looked over and said, "Whatever that is, I'm getting that next time." He shouldn't have. The Bingsoo looked great but was bland, and the "snow" was more chunky ice than soft shave. The Thai Tea Roti was also not what I expected. It came with Thai tea ice cream and sauce alongside a roti that was fried to a crunch. Interesting idea, just not the best execution. The sauce and ice cream needed a stronger Thai tea flavor to balance the crispy roti, and the flavors never quite came together. Overall, A Buttercup nails the aesthetics but misses the flavor. If you're here for the photos, you'll be happy. If you're here for the taste, you'll leave with a full camera roll and an unsatisfied sweet tooth.

We came for a factory tour, about an hour long. It was fascinating and educational to learn about the craft of chocolates from fruit to beans to the chocolate bar, and to get to chocolate taste along the way. Their work is inspiring-adding minimal ingredients to their chocolate bars so that the flavors of the cacao beans shine naturally from where they originate. After the tour, we tried the hojicha hot chocolate, the celebration cake, and the matcha cookie. For the hojicha hot chocolate, the tea flavor was subtle, but good chocolate. The celebration cake was what we expected-glad it wasn't overly sweet so that cocoa is more pronounced, but it also wasn't too rich; I felt the chocolate here in some sense lacked depth. The matcha cookie was my favorite-a cake texture matcha exterior encasing a denser brownie-like chocolate core - a delicious combo! Last thoughts to prep for the experience if you tour- 1.) Eat before you go on the tour-sampling chocolate means you do get caffeinated, and you'll likely purchase more chocolate (more caffeine!) after :) 2.) Included with the tour is a complimentary chocolate drink of choice at the end, in case you were pondering whether to buy the hot chocolate or not ;) 3.) Dandelion Chocolate products are pricey but quality. Paying the price feels like it's appreciation of their art. If you love chocolate, it's a wonderful place to visit at least once!

    Delicious, and this place blew my mind when I tried it out…read more First off, very surprised at all the flavors you can get and try, including horchata, Thai tea, and ube! To be honest, when I came here, I did not expect much. I typically am not the type to get snow or anything icy, since it is not the first thing that comes to my mind when it comes to dessert, but I am so glad I got to experience this. When I came on a Wednesday night, it was not too busy, and my friend and I were able to get our food within 10 minutes. The spot itself is pretty small, with not a lot of seating, but some limited spots outside. I got the black sesame with condensed milk, and my friend got the mexican hot chocolate. What makes this place stand out so much is the texture of the dessert, which was fluffy, soft, and melted in your mouth. Overall, I want to come here again and try the other flavors!

I loved this so much, it had such a fantastic texture of being creamy but also light and fluffy. Probably one of the best shaved snow texture I've had. Tried some of the matcha snow and earl grey snow as well, and both of them were solid too. My favorite was still the cereal snow because I have more of a sweet tooth and the matcha and earl grey were less sweet. I would absolutely return to try more snow flavors! Service was really friendly and our 3 bowls were ready within a few minutes. Only one small bench inside and some outdoor seating.
