This is my favorite bakery in SF. Don't go to the other locations in Civic Center or Mission Bay -…read morethis one is the best and worth it despite the line (which is never too long, especially compared to places like Butter & Crumble which will have a two block line an hour before the bakery opens). I've gone a few times around 10-11 AM and gotten through the line pretty quickly, plus they've never been sold out of anything. Another plus of this location is its proximity to Golden Gate Park; when the weather is nice it's great to pick up pastries from here, find a grassy area in the park to put down a blanket, and have a mini picnic. My favorite thing to get here is the chocolate almond croissant, especially since it's fairly unique and not too many other bakeries do it. Everything is perfect from the almond filling, the flaky croissant, the crunchy baked almond filling on top, and the melted chocolate. It's pretty heavy and dense though, even when hungry I can only get through half of it. It's still good later on (even after a day or two) but nothing beats it fresh. I also like to get the plain croissant and their kouign amann. The kouign amann has the same buttery, flaky layers as the croissant and has this caramelized sugar coating that I love. Don't love their chocolate chip cookie - too much chocolate and not enough cookie. But everything else I've tried from their is so worth the drive over, line, and prices.

I give Ariscault a solid 4.5 but rounded up to 5 stars. This is my second visit but I waited until…read moreafter lunch to get pastries. To get the best choice of pastries it is best to go before noon before some of the most popular items sell out. I was able to get Almond Croissants, Morning Bun, Kouign Amann and a chocolate chip cookie. My wife said they make the best almond croissant, not overly sweet and nice flakey croissant, she liked the Kouign Amann but she said B Patissere makes the best. The chocolate chip was big, soft in the middle with a slight crunchy edge, the cookie had a good sweetness balance. I was lucky enough to go at a time when there were a few porn parking spots. The parking can be a challenge but it is worth the hunt for parking to get some tasty pastries.

I'd been following B&C on instagram for awhile, dying to be able to try it one day (I live in…read moreMontana). Today was finally the day! I got to the line just after 8am (they open at 9) and there were only a few groups ahead of me. The staff was very welcoming and professional- they monitor the line to make sure the neighborhood disturbance is minimal. The pastries were amazing. I ended up getting 8 different ones to try and there wasn't a single bad one. The lamb was a favorite of the May menu. Wish I could come every month!

Parking: None, chinatown will be impossible street/meter parking…read more Interior: None, this is a order/pick up window. If the shop is open you will see a line. Wait Time: 10min on a weekend afternoon. I got lucky and saw it was open beginning of this year before crowds found out. Their hours are not accurate so just up to chance. Items Order: 9/10 Egg Tart $3.75 - larger than average egg tart. It comes piping hot and fresh. the shell is very buttery but holds well. custard is very hongkong style (eggy/milky vs the custardy Portuguese version). Sweetness level is about 50% so not that sweet. CASH ONLY

This place has a line that goes by so quickly. Once you get in, there are 2 counter sections with…read morethe same exact items to choose from, when you're in the same group, they call you over so we can split up, order on each counter, then head to the registers. It's a very efficient set up! We got tons of stuff! Very nice service, my new favorite to bring guests and visitors

Liked this place a lot, also appreciated the extreme variety of things available (especially…read morecompared to some of my other favorite bakeries like Arsicault). Definitely go early to get everything fresh, but you probably won't run into a line if you don't. Highlight of the menu was absolutely the kouign amann - it was so buttery and flaky with this caramelized sticky sweet inside, rivaled in my eyes only by the Arsicault one. We also got the seasonal one (raspberry and guava) which was also really good. The passion fruit bostock was also interesting with this spongy cakey texture with an almond topping. The banana chocolate almond croissant was another favorite of mine, it's also such a unique item and definitely a must order. We sat inside at a table so we could eat some of the pastries right away which I highly recommend - everything lost freshness after a few hours and I probably wouldn't get anything from here again with the intention of eating it later. They have a ton of cakes too, tried the chocolate mousse cake, the berry cake, and the passionfruit orange and guava cake. The chocolate mousse was my favorite and runs on the sweeter side compared to other chocolate mousse's I've had. The other two are also amazing and have a bunch of different layers. I also tried the prosciutto burrata and cherry tomato tartine - an open faced sandwich basically - which tasted good but was kind of difficult to eat, either with hands or fork and knife. Would definitely come here again both because what I tried was so good and there are so many other things there I'd want to try.

Finally getting around to reviewing one of my favorite places to grab a sweet treat in SF Pineapple…read moreKing Bakery. These pineapple buns are addicting. Soft fluffy bread with that perfect crispy sweet topping. I grabbed my usual the mini pineapple bun, guava butter pineapple bun, and this time tried the ube pineapple bun. Honestly hard to pick a favorite but the guava butter one is our favorite. Order ahead online or cash only if you're walking up to the window. Friendly service and everything always tastes super fresh. One of those spots you randomly crave during the week once you've had it.

I am writing to comment about the online ordering process…read more As a resident of the Sunset for over 20 years, I like visiting local bakeries. Pineapple King is a place I absolutely have a love-hate relationship about. I like how innovation the buns are, but the ordering process - regardless of whether I waited in line or I ordered in advance - has been very disappointing. I placed online orders in May 2021, April 2022, October 2022, June 2023, January 2025, and then today. (Thanks to my email which reminded me of the dates) Every single time I had to wait extra time for my previously placed online order to be ready. After several times of waiting for an extra 10 minutes, I decided to give them extra time to prepare the buns. It simply did NOT work. They always, and I mean always, asked me to wait for 5 more minutes. 5 minutes passed, and the order was still not ready. The average wait time has been 10 minutes in addition to the announced pick-up time. You might want to say, oh, I would like you to receive your buns warm and fresh. Thanks. But if a customer is late, they don't deserve warm and fresh buns. On the contrary, for us who are on time, why do we have to wait for extra time? Please consider adjusting the estimated pick-up time if you are super busy. I understand your store gets busy, and congratulations about that. Please ask your staff to give us a more accurate "extra wait time" because we customers are busy too. Our time is no less valuable than yours. Besides, I understand that you need to check our photo ID during pick-up. Please be consistent with your policy. While I was waiting by the pick-up window, I noticed there were customers who were not asked for their IDs, and they actually picked up their order after a 2-minute wait. Questions can be raised if you only enforce your policy either randomly or only towards several customers. After a few disappointing visits, our family are sad to say that this will be the very last time being your customers. How you run your business just don't align with our values. I do wish you all the best in your business. Thank you for reading my comment.

Tartine pastries are overall very delicious and fresh. I actually love the oat porridge loaf the most, and try to get it every time I'm in the neighborhood.... so moist and chewy yum. On this particular morning, I picked up the fig ricotta pastry, which was very very good. we also got a little gems salad which was pretty flavorful with a lot of crispy crunchies in it. We also really like the Tartine Manufactory that's on the other side of the neighborhood that has more sit down seating.

The service was quick but the out door seating was full today, which reflects the popularity of this quaint and highly popular location. Luckily it's a quick walk to the park and even through the extra distance, the pizza was still crispy and delicious.

My friend has gone to the other location a few times and said the other one was better, but this is my one off experience with Arizmendi. Ranked from best to worst, we got the: - almond croissant: kinda dense for a croissant but simple, lots of filling - daily pizza which was triple mushroom with a sesame ginger vinaigrette: a little gimmicky, smelled stronger than it tasted, not bad but wouldn't reorder, kind of dry but love the crust - cheese roll: dry as is but probably better warmed up, tasted like the pizza crust - chocolate mint cookie: very crispy edge with a softer middle, personally was too crunchy for me bc I like a softer cookie, definitely needed more mint - cowgirl cookie: letdown, had high expectations but this was super dry and needed more mixins Open to trying more pastries here because there is a large variety and wish the daily pizza flavor on our visit was better. Prices are fair and there was a line that didn't take too long.

The staff are all very friendly, which makes the experience even better. The location itself is a bit awkward in my opinion, as it's on a busy street, but they do offer a few parking spots right in front as well as some outdoor seating. Overall, I highly recommend this bakery over others in the neighborhood!
