    Hinterland Sourdough Loaf
    Angela W.

    Vive La Tarte is a cute little bakery in Noe Valley. I stopped by for a loaf of sourdough but the turmeric monkey bread was calling my name and I answered. The sourdough was incredibly light and airy with a solid crust, but the flavor was a bit too mild for my tastes. The monkey bread was really good, and each nugget of dough was coated with that turmeric-spiced blend. It added a subtle earthiness and kick to each bite. I would have loved a bit more caramelization on the outside, as the crunchy, sugary bits on the bottom were the highlights for me. I might pass on the loaf next time, especially at that price point, but would love to come back to try some of their creative croissants!

    Smashed avo toast (to go)
    Stacey I.

    **Review is based on to-go order/service Vive La Tarte is open on Thanksgiving Day until 2 pm. Upon arrival, my eyes automatically caught a glimpse of their warm, cozy cafe ambiance, their glass box filled with fluffy pastries, and the open cafe bar concept. It was nice. FOOD: 8/10 COFFEE: 9/10 SERVICE: 7/10 What I ordered: Smashed Avocado Toast with a Poached Egg Iced Vanilla Latte with Oatmilk FOOD: 8/10 I ordered the Smashed Avocado Toast with a Poached Egg, and it was a decent choice. The toast itself was thick, well-toasted, and had that perfect balance of crunchy edges with a softer center that held up well under the toppings. The avocado was fresh, creamy, and perfectly seasoned. The poached egg did not give the runny yolk effect that I was looking for and was more like a mildly soft-boiled egg. COFFEE: 9/10 I ordered the Iced Vanilla Latte with oatmilk, and it was honestly really good. The oatmilk tasted smooth and creamy, and they did a great job keeping the vanilla syrup light, the way I like it. The vanilla syrup was enough to add flavor without turning the drink overly sweet. The balance between the espresso, oatmilk, and vanilla was spot on, and everything blended nicely. The only small thing keeping it from being a perfect 10/10 is that it leaned just slightly on the lighter side, but flavor-wise and texture-wise, it was a delicious, solid iced latte. SERVICE: 7/10 To be fair, I ordered my food to go, so there wasn't much service or interaction to experience. What caught me off guard, though, was that there wasn't a greeting or anyone checking in to see what I needed. A few customers passed in front of me before anyone noticed I was waiting to ask about my order. Eventually, I learned that I just needed to wait off to the side and pick it up from the pickup table, which might've been obvious to regulars, but wasn't clear to me at first. Overall, stopping by on a holiday was a great choice. The place was calm, the wait time was smooth, and Vive La Tarte totally satisfied my craving for a decent and filling avocado toast and a simple yet delicious iced latte.

    B.L.T. sandwich
    Crystalin B.

    We started off with the chocolate coconut croissant and OMG... it was so good!! The cashier said it was their favorite pastry, and now I totally get why. The croissant was perfectly flaky, had just the right hint of coconut, and was topped with a perfect amount of powdered sugar. It was between that or the almond croissant... so I guess I have my excuse to come back ;) My husband got the fried egg sandwhich and it was so good. We love an egg in our sandwich but sometimes it gets messy and ends up all over us but not this time! The egg was cooked just right and no mess.. Yay! I got the BLT and added avocado and wow...they did not skimp on the bacon. Every single bite had a strip of bacon!! Both sandwiches came on sourdough that was toasted to perfection. Service was super smooth - you order up front, grab a number, and they bring everything right to you. There's even a spot to drop off your dishes when you're done (love that). All in all, such a cute and tasty spot! Can't wait to come back and try that almond croissant next time!

    SF S.F. Cheesecake
    Kamy T.

    Got to try the SF cheesecake from here! It's a basque-like cheesecake with a Speculoos cracker crust. Definitely one of the best cheesecakes I've had. It wasn't overly sweet, had a nice buttery crust, and was smooth and velvety!

    Shine H.

    I love this cafe! The people here are always friendly and I enjoy their coffee & pastries/sandwiches. They have a lot of seating indoors as well as seating outside. I usually get the hot latte and yesterday I tried their almond croissant. It had almond fillings and toasted almonds sprinkled on top. Tasty!

    Turmeric Latte SO GOOD. Perfection

    Great turmeric latte - perfection. Used to go to their place in SOMA years ago and always loved it - ambiance, coffee, falafel salad, croissants, flourless chocolate cake, cheesecake, croissants, .... Always top quality. Only had the turmeric latte this time but (which met the high standards I remember) but will certainly come back when I'm not full from lunch. The guy at the register who made it was lovely. Came in the afternoon around 1:20 and wasn't too busy. Lovely space inside to sit.

    Waited 30 mins for this. Unbelievable so disappointed.
    Michele T.

    Food: Great Service: Horrible I waited 30 for a piece of cheese cake. I can't believe it! Ambiance: very modern, nice and clean.

    The first time, cake cut well and didn't collapse.

    I ordered their cheesecake before and some family members loved it which is why I bought another one recently. Unfortunately, the second time was beyond disappointing. The cake wasn't as flavorful and the texture was completely off. It didn't look, taste or feel like it was properly set. The cake practically collapsed when I first cut into it. The first time I bought it, the cake's integrity remained even after a couple days. But this time, it became so sloppy after one day. TLDR the cheesecake this time was very goopy and liquidy, two words that should never describe a cheesecake. And for $62, I am quite disappointed. I don't think I will be coming back now nor continuing to recommend it to friends and family.

    I don't know if my experience was just on an off day for them or what... I didn't see their note taped to the counter that their expressing machine was broken, and they probably should've put a sign on the door or outside. I had the worst bitter $4 drip coffee ever. What's worse, is that the cup was of a poor quality such that the coffee was coming out out of the seams. I didn't realize this until it had leaked all in my car cupholder. Pastries were very good, still crisp. I recommend the almond croissant, but the turmeric monkey bread was a little too spicy.

    Breakfast Tacro
    Kunalan S.

    Vive La Tarte is a quaint cafe/bakery located in Noe Valley. In a smaller city, I could see this being a premier bakery. Unfortunately, in SF the competition is fierce, and unless you're close by, I think you'd be better served at another establishment. That isn't to say that the pastries were bad, they just fall short to the city's exceptional standards. Breakfast Tacro: While the execution left much to be desired, the foundational premise of this meal is solid. A breakfast taco, but with a croissant as a bae holds much promise. Unfortunately, the filling of the taco was poorly chosen. There was far too much pickled cabbage, the bacon was overdone, and there was but a suggestion of egg. The croissant itself was satisfactory. Orange Blossom & Zaatar Croissant: This pastry has a lot of potential, and I could see it perhaps just not being consistent this morning. The orange blossom cream had wondeful floral notes. Unfortunately, there just wasn't enough to make the flavor distinct. Additionally, the croissant had too much chew for my liking.

    Cold Brew, a Matcha Latte, a Pain au Chocolat, and the Key Lime Croissant (instagram: wooneats)
    Kiana S.

    My table ordered a Cold Brew, a Matcha Latte, a Pain au Chocolat, and the Key Lime Croissant, which came out to about $25 total. I honestly never thought I was a key lime dessert person until I tried their croissant--it completely won me over. The drinks gave us the perfect pick-me-up, and both pastries were wonderfully flaky with just the right amount of sweetness. The fillings were flavorful without being overwhelming, and everything felt really fresh. Overall, it was a simple but really satisfying stop.

    Christine F.

    Matcha latte left much to be desired. Egg sandwich was bigger than expected but still not worth the $17 price imo. The sourdough was fresh and flavorful but not anything spectacular happening besides that. The vibes inside the place is cool. I'd even come back just for the atmosphere - bright, clean, inviting

    Where the magic happens
    Lynn F.

    9:30 am, Saturday: As they say on Instagram, I was today years old when I discovered cast iron sourdough made fresh daily at Vive La Tarte. Anything on top of that bread is going to shine, so no surprise I'm in love with their avocado toast. Avo mash, farmer's cheese, topped with pickled tomatillos, cherry tomatoes. I customized a bit substituting fried egg & nixed the basil aioli. Perfection. There's a parklet & cafe tables outside. Lovely interior, plenty of seating. First thing In the door you are met with a case of pastries that make you want to believe carbs aren't real. At the back is a full on bakery. It was all I could do not to buy a giant bag full of every pastry they had left. And now I'm regretting it. Next time.

Mobile ordering is from the table and food brought directly. Water, more utensils, to-go boxes and extra plates can be retrieved from a service station. And no sense of having to eat and rush out. Kimchee fried rice was excellent - having eaten this at many places this one is standout for its flavor and textures. Breakfast sandwich was special with the croissant bun. The sandwich is somehow so soft, yet not soggy. Gochuchang cookie was very good balance of flavor considering its namesake ingredient. It's perfect texture of soft and chewy. I'd suggest taking one (or 2!) home to enjoy later. Sausage pastry was my least favorite of the items I ordered, but savory pastry is just not my preference.
