I absolutely love this place. I am lucky enough to live within walking distance and have been here…read morethree times in the last few months. This most recent time I arrived just before opening and waited about an hour and a half for my delicious strawberry roll. If I had got there earlier, I think the line would've been only about 20 to 30 minutes so if you are an early bird they allow you to line up anytime after around 7:45 AM. I listened to a new album and great podcast while I was in line, it can be a great solo activity and makes the wait go by fast! I also enjoy talking to the people around me about whether or not they've been here yet and hearing what their favorite items are or what they're excited to try. This time I met someone who had brought their family member all the way from Mexico to try! I think a lot of the people who are frustrated don't understand that there will be a wait. The owner has explained on her Instagram that the reason they cannot simply bake more is because they are not baking pastries that are designed for bulk creation. They are all handmade small batch goods that simply cannot be made in large quantities. I think when you go into it understanding that it's going to be an experience that more often than not comes with a wait time it is much more enjoyable. I did see some teenagers show up with their parents who immediately seemed like they did not want to get in the line. The thing about lines though is that typically if there is a consistent line somewhere that means it's good! I really admire the parents that did wait with their kids because it is worth it! We all need a little bit of whimsy in our life and these goods and the wonderfully magical people who work there make my day a little brighter each time I go in. The shop itself is decorated so well, you can tell that the cookbooks and tools are not just props on the shelf. They are actually used. There are also a couple glittery surprises that I will leave for you to find out... I cannot recommend this little bakery enough. If you are in San Francisco, even just for a day, add it to the top of your list and start your day with a treat you won't be able to find anywhere else.

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.

Me and my guy were walking by when Andrew drew us in with a delicious floral tea and then invited…read moreus in to look around. The store is very large, and there was so much to look at and smell. We were greeted by the owners, who were very helpful in showing us their store and products. We went to pier 39 just to walk around, and ended up having the best experience while there. We ended up getting a bourbon bacon salt, a honey spoon, and got a free tuna rub! The store was so clean and well organized. I love that the spices/herbs/salta/sugars all had jars that you could open and smell for reference. The candles are also noteworthy! They smelled fantastic and I might just have to make my way back for some! Overall, Andrew, Mauricio, Blair, and Ian made the experience excellent! If you're walking through the pier, definitely stop into the business and give them look and purchase!!

This place was AMAZING!…read more My girl and I were walking around Pier 39 when the staff at The Spice & Tea Exchange caught our attention with a free sample of tea. We figured we'd stop in for a minute... and before we knew it, we were looking around, talking with the staff, and making purchases. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, kind, and playful, which made the whole experience even better. You can tell they actually enjoy what they do, and that makes a huge difference when you walk into a shop. Honestly, this was probably the coolest shop we checked out on Pier 39. There's so much interesting stuff to look at, smell, taste, and discover that it's almost impossible to walk through without finding something you want to take home. And then we even got to spin the wheel at the cash register and actually won a prize! Our prize was a spicy tuna rub. I haven't had the chance to try it yet, but it smells AMAZING, and I'm definitely looking forward to putting it to the test. What started as us simply walking by turned into one of the most memorable stops of our day. If you're anywhere near Pier 39, MUST CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! Great products, awesome people, fun atmosphere, and a shop that's genuinely worth wandering into. Definitely one of those places where you go in just to look... and somehow walk out with a bag.

A game changer! High quality, affordable seafood, delivered for only $10 with a $100 minimum…read more Finally tried it during Dungeness crab season. You can place an order via email or phone and they deliver within a ~2 hour window and text you shortly before, and they're super friendly to work with. Was recommended by a friend and will definitely be a go-to.

Aloha Seafood Noah's ark aquarium…read more Sustainable seafood West coast East coast 5/5 stars let's go! I was able to order through the phone and spoke to Jermaine. Super cordial and friendly and delivers to you wherever. He was also early to the meet up location @ Daly City which is always a plus! The fish , Salmon I'll tell you was a lot more HEALTHIER and VALUE than at Whole Foods, Costco, Seafood markets on Mission ETC. Aloha seafood has it all. Oysters , shrimp, lobster, scallops, Crab, and fish. There's more to discover, Just ask for Jermaine . Not only is the seafood here healthier and fresher but also more cost effective. No portion control sizes and no portion control prices. Why pay the middle man? Yeeeee Come straight to the source and taste the difference.

The whole ambiance of the store is such a vibe - my husband and I love it. Even down to the music being played. It passes the vibe-check as the kids say. lol. I've been in for their soft serve & cannolis - both so yums! You can never go wrong with soft serve! You can choose from either a cone or cup & they have a bunch of toppings - even the olive oil & sea salt which I have heard AMAZING things about but I am a plain-girly so I opted for a plain soft serve on a cone. EDIT: GET THE OLIVE OIL & SEA SALT SOFT SERVE - ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG, it's LIFE CHANGING! I would never think the combo works but it freakin' works! lol. TRY IT, you won't regret it! If you go here & don't get a cannoli, did you actually go here? Just asking. Cannoli choices: Plain, Pistachio, Chocolate Chips & Rainbow Sprinkles. My go-to is Chocolate Chips, it never fails! A great thing about their cannolis is that they make 'em after you order! Fresh & hot off the presses! They also have coffee but I have never tried it BUT it gives me a reason to come back!

Components of prosciutto, Humboldt Fog Chevre(goat cheese) & fig preserve all on a delicious sourdough bread. Despite it being made with high quality ingredients, it was a little too salty for me & wished there was some added vegetable to tone the saltiness down. Next time I'll try either a panini truffled grilled cheese or panini grilled chicken club & can't wait to return as they have such a wonderful variety of beers, specialty drinks & ice cream.

This hidden food truck is serving up some of the best Fish & Chips in San Francisco!!…read more The awesome part is that they have their own little area, offering up some tables for dining giving it a nice chill vibe. You order up at the window, or they also have a kiosk if they're very busy where you can place your order. First round, I went with the fish and chips. It took about 15 minutes to be ready which was not bad at all (It's made to order as it should be) and took a seat to enjoy. First off, that fish comes out piping hot!! It's also quite a large portion of fish which is much appreciated. Now flavor wise, the cod is absolutely delicious. Perfectly fried and flaky! It comes with tartar sauce which goes so well with the fish! Well it was so good the first time, we went back the next day and got more of the fried cod and also got some of the fried calamari. And WOAH.... Okay, that calamari was amazing!! First off, the batter itself is so well seasoned! If that's not enough, it's served with their homemade chipotle sauce which is so so good. It has a little spicy tangy flavor that goes so well with the calamari! It quickly became one of my favorites.

The concept of this place is absolutely wonderful…read more One of my coworkers recommended this place which is a courtyard of cooperative small businesses operating together collaboratively and thriving in one of the most expensive cities. After I received this recommendation, my other coworkers and I went (the person who recommended was working remotely that day). We walked there and it was an easy 10 minute walk from mid - Market street. We were impressed with the variety of options that were available to us. The smells that hit you when you first come in are so amazing and intoxicating. When my coworkers and I were ready to eat, someone saw us come in as a group and had a table prepared for us. The atmosphere felt like a bizarre. So full of life and so energetic. You could be there to either enjoy the food, or collaborate with your colleagues. There are so many options, worth coming back and trying something different each time. Definitely check this place out!

I loved the selection here. From kale chips, to teas, to energy bars, to many types of chocolate,…read morethey have a great variety of both healthy options and flavorful options. Excited to try everything I purchased today

The Tanguito burger is one of, if not the best burger I've ever had. Highly recommend it.

Real friendly and will check in on everybody there. Tanguito has its own tables and chairs which is great to eat at, which is great given that it's in the heart of Fisherman's wharf.

It was super busy when I went, which made the place loud and kind of stressful. Service was friendly but rushed, and we waited longer than expected for our food. Overall, it's not bad and I don't regret going, but I'm not in a rush to go back. Good food, just not as amazing as people make it sound.
