Kaya toast on pillowy bread striped with coconut-pandan jam is the thing people cite first, but the menu at this Asian American bakery on Clement Street rotates enough to keep regulars guessing. Pan de sal buns cradle egg salad with panko-fried veg, and the Basque cheesecake is cut thick enough to feel like a statement. Outdoor seating only, but the line moves. The New York Times and the LA Times both put it on their San Francisco lists.

How we scoreThe dishes from the writeups
-
Kaya toast
“One persistent offering is the indulgent, custardy kaya toast ($10), plushy bread zigzagged with coconut-pandan jam — it begs to be washed down with a cup of coffee or tea.”
San Francisco Chronicle -
Gyeranbbang
“Other baked goods deserving of your disposable income include the Korean-inspired gyeranbbang ($8.50), a savory corn bread filled with an egg and cheese, and crumbly almond cookies with jam-filled centers ($5.”
San Francisco Chronicle -
Basque cheesecake
“For maximum decadence, try the Basque cheesecake (half for $13.75), which is in a thickness class of its own.”
San Francisco Chronicle -
Shrimpwich
“Try the exceptional egg salad bunwich, with panko-dredged fried veggies for crunch, or the shrimpwich, featuring a hefty shrimp patty — both on pan de sal buns.”
