I had an appointment nearby so had to stop by Rosalind. I got an almond croissant as a sweet treat and an olive loaf for dinner later. The almond croissant was tasty! It had some frangipane in the middle and was topped with almonds which gave it a nice crunch. I don't usually go for almond flavored things but it looked so good! The olive loaf was huge! One of the bigger loafs of bread I've bought. I liked that they cut up the green olives for the loaf since it was more evenly distributed throughout. The bread was nice, had a good amount of olives, and the crust was not too hard so it was easy to eat. Definitely recommend to stop by for a loaf if you need some bread! It's way better than bread at the supermarket. read more

I got to work early and had extra time to pick up breakfast. A quick search lead me to Rosalind Bakery that is only 4 minute walk from my office. It's so hard to decide 1 or 2 items when everything looks so good and nicely displayed! I'm a big fan of Almond Croissant and you can't go wrong with that. The allure is the powder sugar and good looking toasted almonds on top! It was flaky, fresh and buttery inside. Kouigan-amann was a nice surprise. I didn't expect the inside to be filled with yummy matcha custard. The outside is buttery and chewy interior with a crispy and sticky crust. Very good! Besides pastries, they also have a good selection of bread. Very friendly staff! Happy to discover this awesome bakery and so close to my San Francisco office! read more

Super friendly staff. I got the olive bread -- it's huge and absolutely delicious. The bakery itself is small and adorable. Just a heads-up: they do close early on certain days. Pastries/coffees/tea available as well. read more

Hands down some of the best baked goods in SF. Picked up a selection to bring to a meeting-- everyone was raving about them. Their morning bun and cinnamon roll are worth the trek to the Embarcadero Center. Staff were very pleasant. Will definitely come back. read more

I got the latte and morning bun and it was so tasty! I went on a Sunday around 11am and the cinnamon bun was already sold out. The place is super cute and cozy and even though there's no seats inside, there's plenty of tables around the area to enjoy it. read more

Adorable little bakery tucked inside the Embarcadero Plaza featuring outstanding bread, lovely treats, and tasty coffee. I dropped by for a quick breakfast before work, and I was super impressed. I would probably budget a bit more time to find this space -- they do a perfect good job labeling their store, but I'm just quite directionally challenged and spent way too long wandering the Plaza -- but it is otherwise the perfect spot for a mid-day pick-me-up. I got their seed loaf, which was, true to its name, absolutely loaded with seeds. It had flax, pumpkin, poppy, sunflower, and I'm sure several other seeds, which made the little slice super hearty and filling. I paired this with an americano, which was lovely -- the coffee wasn't overly bright (which is my preference), although it did feel a little bit too watery / wasn't all that fragrant. They also had a bunch of other goodies that I didn't get a chance to try, like various danishes and croissants. I think I've had their baked goods at other cafes before, though -- I'd recognize their almond croissant or millet muffin anywhere -- and they've been delicious. They're most famous for their bread, so I'll have to come back and give it a try. There isn't a ton of seating inside -- just three small tables for 1-2 people along the front windows -- but there are a few communal picnic tables right outside in the plaza if you need a place to hang out for a while. read more

I stopped by Rosalind Bakery on a Saturday morning for coffee and ended up grabbing an ice americano along with a blue corn cookie and seasonal danish (mixed berry with vanilla) and to snack on while spending the morning journaling. Loved the blue corn cookie which reminded me of a sweet corn bread with a great texture from the corn. I love cookies that are chewy and not too sweet and this was just perfect. The danish was great as well with a fresh berry jam with whole pieces of blueberries and I loved the flaky layers in the pastry as well. Such a cute bakery with some counter seats inside and long tables outside. The natural light coming through the windows is beautiful and it was super cute that while I was there, a lot regulars came in grabbing their usual Saturday morning pastry. I can see why this is a neighborhood staple and will definitely be back! Pro tip: I've also seen Rosalind Bakery pastries at Paper Son on Mondays and Tuesdays so it's great that they're expanding their reach! read more

I discovered Rosalind Bakery through Blackbird Pay. I'm so happy that they have almond croissants. It wasn't sold out like Jane the Bakery on Fillmore was when I came at lunch on a weekday. It's just as yummy and big too with the almond paste inside! Highly recommend their almond croissant! read more

Rosalind Bakery - Almond croissant, ham and cheese croissant, muffin - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

We've only been twice. I should say we went once and instead of trying to out a new bakery the next day, we went straight back here. Wonderful, classic pastries with a twist. It's obvious this place is a neighborhood favorite. We did not try the coffee, but the seed bread is ridiculous. And apparently gluten free. Pastries ***** Service ***** Vibes ***** Pamplemouse Kouign Amann ***** read more

Hands down one of the best. The millet muffin and coffee was excellent. Felt very inviting and friendly. 5/5 stars for sure.

Quick stop before lunch with my friend. Tried their matcha with Oat.....ummm not sure if I like it color was off to me. Service was great though. Might try their coffee next time if I am in the area. read more

I noted some negative reviews regarding Too Good to Go bags and want to share my opposite experience. I went in early Apr 2026 and was asked considerately if I eat meat ( I don't). I was given from the items on display: 1. a savory square shaped pastry with goat cheese, peas, some greens and onions (tasty and fragrant) 2. a kougin amann( I gave it to a friend so don't know the quality) 3. a vegetarian chickpea salad sandwich, like a tuna salad except vegetarian. This was close to awful. Thick slabs of bread and bland, barely there filling. I saved the top hunk of bread and just ate the bottom. However, I later cut the saved bread slice in half, reducing its width and toasted it. It tasted really nice. The shop is tiny but laden with goodies and there is outdoor space nearby to sit at (not of the shop). read more

Excellent experience! The Rosalind Bakery croissant is well made. Their cappuccino was good. Marie's counter service is friendly and represents the business well. Barstools and window counter are clean. Atrium light coming through the window is pleasant. Prices for this quality of food are fair and a great value. I will be back yet again for another perfect experience. Thanks Rosalind Bakery! read more

I came by to pick up a surprise bag through TooGoodToGo. The lady behind the counter sighed one of those "ugh, you're one of those" sighs. I received a chocolate chip cookie, a slice of something I can't find on their menu and a millet muffin. That unknown slice I enjoyed. The cookie was meh but the muffin was hard and inedible. I'm trying to help prevent food waste but how can I do that if I can't eat what I'm given? read more

Rosalind Bakery - Dry inedible Millet muffin - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Wow!! I tried this bakery on a whim while on my walk and it was an excellent experience! Their brown sugar millet muffin must be one of the best muffins I've ever had. The little crunchies give a great texture to the moist muffin. The almond croissant had a slight tang from I believe the sourdough. Perfectly flaky, super tasty and soft. I will most definitely be coming back!! read more

An odd mix of big loaves of bread and individual pastries. Not really in the mood to take a big loaf back to the office, so focused on the pastries. Everything I tried was really yummy. Ham + Cheese Croissant: Not the typical crescent shaped croissant that I'm used to, more square like a pain au chocolat. Except no chocolat, but tons of thick folded ham. And some cheese too. Really nice against the flaky buttery dough. One of the few savory pastries sold here, so could be part of a lunch in a pinch. Hibiscus Bearclaw: A little sticky. Even more so since they put it in a bag and then the sticky topping gets all over. But despite the mess, it's kinda tasty. The pink sticky glaze was very subtly scented like hibiscus. The inside of the pasty had a nice sweet almond paste. And same signature buttery flaky pastry shell that they do well here. Cinnamon Roll: This was HUGE! Literally the size of my hand and I don't have small hands. A little messy with all the frosting, so keep a few napkins at your desk. The first two rings are flaky and a little dry, like is typical when bakeries attempt cinnamon rolls. So I was a little concerned. But then I got to the inner rings and was so delighted. Soft and full of cinnamon flavor. Just like those cinnamon roll specializing places, which is rare for a bakery to get right. Had some leftovers obviously, but still tasted good the next day. Pumpkin Pear Danish: Loved the center, which seemed to skew more pear than pumpkin. Something great about the pairing for fruit with buttery flaky pastry. Chocolate Croissant: A few bits of hard chocolate surrounded by lots of buttery croissant dough. Kinda wish they were a little more generous with the chocolate though, since there were many bites without. Almond Croissant: This felt like they were cheating. It was a croissant cut in half with almond paste spread in the middle. Always seems more magically when the almost paste is actually baked inside. Also, it feels like having the almond paste baked instead makes the whole inside a bit moister too. It was still decent, but not their best offering. Chocolate Chip Cookie: A very comforting classic cookie. I like how it was a little thick, but not too thick. The oversized chocolate chips were perfect for the thickness. And a nice touch of salt for contrast, but not too salty. read more

tried the millet muffin and it was extremely satiating--loads you up with fibre because of the whole wheat and provides great textural contrast bc of the crunchiness :") read more

I got a loaf of Sourdough here last week and it was the best bread I have had in a long time! Big thumbs up! Gold star! :-)

We stumbled upon this coffee shop when we were walking around. The barista was so kind and actually seemed like she cared. My coffee was delicious with a house made cinnamon syrup. Super cute and small shop.. not too much space to sit but it was very welcoming read more

Rosalind is a top tier bakery in San Francisco. They are creative with their baked goods like their use of sourdough for their croissant (if my taste buds aren't mistaken), have very large portions and have quality ingredients and baking skills. Every detail seemed well thought out from the flakiness to the candying of the almond topping. I wasn't too happy at first to pay $7 for a pastry at first but by the end I found it totally worth it. read more

the almond one was my favorite but the chocolate was good too. getting coffee and a fresh pastry here before heading to the ferry building became a thing for me. read more

What an amazing bakery! The quality of the products are really unique and the quality of the serivice is fantastic. What a hidden gem!

Stopped in this morning for the first time and tried the almond poppy muffin -- and honestly, it might be the best poppy muffin I've ever had. Perfectly moist, just the right amount of sweetness, and that almond flavor was amazing. The gal working was super friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. Can't wait to go back for another muffin (or two)! read more

The best Bakery in town and I highly recommend it! The food and pastries are always fresh and delicious! Their service is excellent and the ambiance in the room smells like you're dining in Heaven! read more

Rosalind, you by far make the best sourdough bread that I've found in SF! I was so happy to have seen you moved closer to the city and literally dream about your bread. The reason behind the low score is the unpredictability of your hours. This has been the 5th time I've come to grab bread or pastries for friends out of town to try, only be disappointed by you being closed way way way earlier than your times disclose. Honestly it's hard to rave about a bread when I can never buy it for people to try! I completely understand when things arise and you are short staffed so I refrained from writing this the first few times but it's getting kind of ridiculous now. I want to share with others that if you're making a trek to go here, try calling ahead or time!! As for Rosalind; I still love your bread but Please please keep to your hours or share it somehow that you are closed! I'm writing this as I'm sitting outside your shop and no one is picking up your phones on either location!! read more

Cinnamon roll is FANTASTIC! Giant, creamy sweet frosting, perfect amount of cinnamon, crisp outer soft inner, the dough it almost croissant like but with a nice pillowy density. Enough for 3-4 people to at least try read more

The whole wheat sourdough loaf is beyond amazing. It is my number one sourdough in all of San Francisco. It really is the perfect sourdough. I also had a pastry with pink glaze and almond mealy stuff in the middle as well as a square caramel (maybe apple) pastry. Both were so good. Cold brew was also great! read more

Participate with Too Good to Go. Very bad experience. Staff is not friendly. Store closed early without notice.

So this is for the toogoodtogo app. I originally bought an item from them through the app and was quite excited about it. I shifted my plans to be at the store at the pick up time, which according to their site said that they would be opened. I arrived at 1:30 and the store was already closed. This was a huge waste of time and money. read more

UPDATE - they still don't open before 9~ but the owner is now in the store and service is great (no more grumpy person working there)! Sounds like they will have a full coffee service soon (aka, if you want more than black coffee for now you still may have to go elsewhere). All the items are incredibly delicious - happy to support this great local bakery. read more

In a city full of amazing bread this is a cut above. The story coupled with the goods fantastic combination! Matt and his team crush a daily assortment of everything you didn't know you needed in your life. Get some and get happy read more

They are finally open! Great place to grab a pastry before work. I love their Pacifica location but this one is more convenient for me to visit. read more

Amazing quality - try the nut seed loaf for something satisfying and not sweet. The blue corn cookies have the perfect level of sweetness and a unique taste and look. Matthew is building something great here go check the shop out! read more
