    All time best Schubert's Princess cake 8" 4/19/26
    Elaine Y.

    Excellent Princess cake as always. An early Mother's Day treat. The taste and decorations are always consistent and reliable and beautifully presented. An 8" princess cake costs around $70. Definitely a must try if you love marzipan, jam and fresh cream. My favorite celebration cake.

    Strawberry cheesecake

    My family and I have been going here for a couple of years now and have loved every cake we have gotten. I remember trying the mango cheesecake as well. It wasn't too sweet and the cheesecake didn't feel too heavy like other cheesecakes do- this goes for the strawberry cheesecake as well. I would say that the strawberry tastes better than the mango because the mango was a bit sour. The tiramisu mousse cake is a family favorite and we have gotten it a few times now. It's perfectly balanced and not too sweet (which is very important lol). The workers are super kind and when I went to pick up a cake once, the lady gave me a couple free cream puffs. There is no seating so this is definitely the place where you get your sweet treat and go somewhere else. Note that parking can be a bit hard to find. You can also place your orders online or make a call.

    Really unfriendly worker

    The cakes are pretty good, but we had such an unpleasant experience with the girl that helped us. We came in and waited in line. Got called up. She asked us what we wanted and when we said one thing she kept rudely saying what else before we even had a chance to tell her what else. They had 50% off cakes and then we asked her the flavors. Then we asked how much they would be and she said look at the board, 50% off that. I think her coworker realized how rude she was being and intervened and let us know the price. We asked her what cake this particular one since it didn't have a label was and she goes same as the one on the bottom, read the label. She spent more effort saying that rather than just stating the name of the cake. We got ended up getting three cakes, the strawberry shortcake, chocolate mousse and princess cake. I would skip the princess cake here and head to ambrosia. Theirs are 10x better.

    Selection at the beginning of the day was excellent and selection plentiful Service is super friendly The shop was very clean. Strawberry cake was amazing. Birthday special !

    This chocolate mousse is off the charts. Absolute perfection.

    Chocolate mousse is off the charts! These bakers really know what they're doing. Deep flavor.

    Princess cake Strawberry short cake

    Grabbed a slice of their two most popular items: Princess cake: Nice, smooth flavors with a nice almond essence from the marzipan. I can see why this is so popular. Strawberry short cake: Solid cake that reminds me of the WF Strawberry chiffon cake. Overall, would recommend the Princess cake if you want a unique experience, but a slice is a bit pricey ($7)

    I have ordered from here many times over the years including my wedding cake back about 11 years ago. So I figure its time for a review! The cake that I recently got was good tasting but it really made my stomach hurt every time I ate it. We did finish it but something was a bit off. It was smaller then I remember it being and there may have been a layer of cake missing in the middle. I think I remember the cakes being 3 layers of cake with creme or filling in between??? It was advertised as having strawberry filling which it did not have. The cake we ordered this time was chocolate with strawberry's & whipping cream frosting. There was very little strawberry like maybe 10 -15 slices on top and not inside the filling or any other part of the cake so it lacked balance and acidity to break up the rich cream inside. The cake is flavorful & creative but I just have those few issues that I wanted to bring up.

    4/5: Princess cake is good but a little too sweet. $7 for a small slice. 3 layers of raspberry with good fondant.

    It was a rainy Monday when I was walking along Clement Street and noticed Schubert's was open. The glass cases were mostly empty, but I saw a sign for 30% off all whole cakes and slices. There was also a small sign indicating they were day-old cakes, and the cashier mentioned they're open until 2:30 PM on Mondays (they're usually closed Mondays and Tuesdays). I didn't feel like getting a cake, so I went with a Hazelnut Nutmeg Cookie ($1.10) and a Black & White Shortbread ($1.10). Both were very good and not stale, even when I ate them the next day. I especially liked the Black & White Shortbread. I would come back on a Monday--maybe next time I'll try one of the cakes at 30% off.

    I've been to Schubert's a few times, and I'm incredibly disappointed. Schubert's is located in inner Richmond in the San Francisco area, and initially was highly recommended as one of the better bakeries to go to for special occasion cakes. A cake can really make or break that special occasion, and they succeeded in ruining one. I had ordered over the phone, and ordered based on what sounded good, and what was suggested. The cakes are very pricey, and frankly overpriced. What may have been wonderful in years past, hasn't been my experience. The store staff is off putting, unwelcoming, and I dare say rude. I picked up my order ( mango mousse) for a birthday celebration. I had requested candles in a certain color, and was presented candles in silver. " That's all we have" it would have been proper to let me know upfront when I placed the order, and was told " no problem". The cake was horrible. All of it. The mango flavor tasted like tin/metal. The actual cake was dry and tasted like freezer burn. It was inedible. It was also $75.00. There MUST be better bakeries that offer delicious birthday cakes in the San Francisco area. This isn't one of them.

    princess cake

    Ordered for pick up 24 hour before. I opted for the 6 in Swedish princess cake but with ivory marzipan. The person taking my order over the phone made sure the spelling of the words and names were all correct. Pick up process was easy - walked up to the register and told them my name. This bakery does have several spots for seating. They have a little sample tray in front as well. I noticed adding lettering was an extra $2 if you do it there but it wasnt charged for mine so seems like ordering in advance is the way to go! There were still plenty of variety and sizes of cake available on display when I got there at 3pm so I would think it's possible to do last min cake pick up too Cake was nicely decorated and tasted soft and fluffy inside. Only the outside marzipan layer was sweet. Price for the princess cake here is $2-$3 more than other places in SF but considering you can opt for another color here other than green is worth it to me!

    Was too full to eat dessert after lunch next door but couldn't resist to try the signature princess cake. It looks sooo pretty and dressed up! Got a slice along with butter cookies. It was great. If I were to order the whole cake I would request the sugar to be reduced by 25% or more both for the marzipan and the cake itself so I can taste the actual flavor of the cake instead of just sweetness. Selection of cake is impressive!!! I wish I live nearby

    CHOCOLATE MOUSSE W/ GNACHE (5/5) First an foremost, Schubert ensures that all of their cakes are beautifully decorated regardless of how big or small the cake is. This cake was a chocolate lover's dream, with a thin layer of chocolate cake at the bottom, a thick layer of airy chocolate mousse in the center, and a decadent layer of dark chocolate ganache to top everything off. This is much more mousse-forward than the truffle torte cake. TIRAMISU (3.5/5) Again, this is beautifully decorated. Someone else mentioned this is more of a tiramisu CAKE than a tiramisu, and I completely agree. The mascarpone is light and airy, but I found the cake layers at the bottom to be too prominent and unfortunately dry. The lady fingers on the outside of the cake were also a bit dry for my preference, though they certainly add to the aesthetic of the cake. The coffee liqueur in the cake was a little too strong for my liking as well. The store itself is larger than I expected, and neat and organized. Lots of items are on display and you're almost overwhelmed by choice!

    Ask the Community - Schubert's Bakery

    Do they decorate your order for a baby shower?

    I know they will write on a cake but I suggest you simply call them for another type of request.

    Do they sell out of cakes, is it recommended to pre order?

    I came in 5 minutes before closing one time and they still had 4 cakes left. If you want a specific cake it's probably best to preorder but if not, then all their cake selections are pretty good.

    Do they have regulach? I

    I don't think so most of the pastries there are French and Swedish

    Do you other colors of cake besides green and yellow? I want blue. Thanks!

    Are you referring the actual cake? If you want a blue cake, ask them.

    Hi, I would like to order a cake for January 13th. On the phone they say they are back open on the 12th. Is one day in advance enough time for them? Thank you

    Perhaps not. It would be good to have a backup plan, or at least be flexible as to what type of cake. Other people might also be trying to order. Good luck!

    Can you buy Princess cake by the slice?

    Yes you can!

    Passed by today but it's closed?

    On vacation

    What size cake would be best for 6-8 folks?

    I think 8 inch cake

    Do they have gluten free options?

    Is the Swedish princess cake sweet or very sweet?

    The Marzipan is not very thick so it’s a lot lighter then one might guess just by looking at it

    Can the princess cake come in other colors?

    Are they serving their cookies and smaller dessert options during the pandemic?

    Yes they are.

    Can someone please tell me the difference between the Strawberry Shortcake regular or the Strawberry shortcake made in Whip cream less sweeter in the frosting vs. buttercream..which one is better tasting…

    I am just happy they are even open during COVID-19. I will buy whatever they made :)

    Are they doing delivery? If yes, through what?

    No, they are currently closed.

    Can any of their cakes/desserts be made vegan?

    I don't know but call them. They are very accommodating. Their desserts are beautiful.

    Can I walk in tomorrow Sunday and pickup a Princess cake without pre-ordering?

    Most likely.

    Their phone numb never works 🤦🏻‍♀️ Do y'all know if they have Tres leches cake?

    They only answer their phone 9am-5pm m-f. I don't think they have that cake.

    What is the filling in the eclair?

    It's kind of a creamy custard

    Are they open at the New Year 1st January? Am traveling and didn't visit before.

    Yes 1/1/2019 from 9 am to 3 pm

    Do they make wedding cakes? I'm looking for a place to make a traditional cakes. Most places in the East Bay are super trendy.

    Yes, they do. My friend's wedding cake was from Schubert's.

    Great pastries and drinks, but they do run out of popular pastries and the line is egregiously long.read more

    This was our second visit to Butter & Crumble. The first time, we arrived about 30 minutes before…read moreopening, and the line was already halfway down the next block. It ended up taking us over two hours to get our pastries, and by the time we reached the front, some items had already sold out. This time, we decided to arrive right when the line opened at 7:45am on a Friday. Personally, I'd rather get there early, wait a little over an hour, and have the first pick of pastries than arrive later, wait even longer, and risk missing out on items. We were the third party in line and placed our order around 9:05am. By 9:15am, we had our pastries and drinks. After our first visit, I wasn't completely convinced the wait was worth it. The pastries were good, but the long line and wait time didn't feel justified. This visit, however, may have changed my mind. We ordered: * Madame Lorraine * Chorizo & Tot Croquiche * Morty P * Strawberry Vanilla Bean Bun * Pistachio Cardamom Sugar Croissant * Rocky Road Double Chocolate Cookie * Classic Croissant We also got two drinks: the S'mores Mocha and the Cherry Vanilla Almond Cappuccino. Don't skip their drinks, their specialty coffees are just as creative as their pastries. I really appreciate their rotating menu. Their pastries are always so creative, and I love that they experiment with unique flavor combinations that you don't typically see at a bakery. Some items are definitely more memorable than others, but I enjoy that there's always something new to try. Their pastries are well executed. The croissants are flaky and buttery. This visit, my personal favorite was the Chorizo & Tot Croquiche. Overall, this visit was a much better experience than my first. If you're willing to wait in line, I think it's worth checking out. Otherwise, you can always try your luck with their Hotplate presale.

    *** Takeout Only and Cash Only ***…read more Pineapple King Bakery is a popular bakery that specializes in Hong Kong-style baked goods and drinks. The bakery was pretty quiet when it first opened, but after COVID it gained popularity on IG and now there is almost always a short waiting line here. There is also another location in Fremont. [Parking]: Metered street parking only and the shop is located in a busy part of the neighborhood (Irving Street Chinatown aka the "Third Chinatown"). I got lucky and immediately found a 30-minute metered parking spot nearby. [Ordering]: There was a short waiting line, but luckily it moved fairly quickly. Be prepared to place your order as the staff did not really answer my question when I asked "What are the most popular items here?" Customers can also place online pickup orders via the bakery's website. [Menu]: Per Pineapple King Bakery's Top 10 Items list and Square online menu, some of the most popular items include Guava Butter Pineapple Bun and Croissant Egg Tart (Portuguese egg tart). All drinks come with a complimentary Pineapple Bite. *** Egg Custard Tart (regular HK egg tart - $2.35): A solid egg tart, but it wasn't very flaky and tasted cold. Croissant Egg Tart (Portuguese egg tart - an upgrade of the traditional egg tart with croissant crust and caramelized top, $3.90): Definitely an upgraded version of regular egg custard tart and the croissant crust made all the difference. Guava Butter Pineapple Bun (one of our most popular items - cold, sweet, and smooth butter inside a warm pineapple bun - $4.65): S-tier bun with a soft & pillow-like texture. Hot Hong Kong Milk Tea drink with a complimentary Pineapple Bite (small, regular sweet - $5.25): I sampled the drink and it had the right balance of slight black tea bitterness and a hint of milk with just the right amount of sweetness. *** Top-notch pineapple buns and I can definitely see the appeal. Now that I know the drink comes with a complimentary Pineapple Bite, I actually prefer pairing the Pineapple Bite with the drink rather than ordering pineapple buns with various fillings on their own.

    Love pineapple buns and I was amazed by all their different flavors! Line was pretty long but it…read moremoved quickly so it took around 10 mins to order and get our food. No seating so we took it to a nearby park. The original pineapple bun was my fav as it was tasty, moist, and slightly crispy! The custard pineapple bun was more crunchy and the custard filling was good but pretty sweet. I had one bite of the egg tart but it was solid and not overly sweet. The croissant egg tart was also good, nicely flaky and crunchy, and the egg filling was thick and creamy. Overall, fresh and tasty goods! Big sizes and good prices. I would be back if I come back to SF!

With a crispy undercarriage and still somehow perfectly chewy melty, it had a great balance . I also got a chocolate chip cookie which was massive for the price, chewy and not too sweet.

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.
