Destination Baking Company

This bakery destination is a hidden gem in San Francisco's Glen Park neighborhood. Destination Bakery has lots of bake goods like their carrot cake and cinnamon buns. Since Xmas is almost here this is the destination to grab last minute sweet and savory bake goods. I got the beef empanada which was very savory and very tasty. I also got the savory ham and cheese croissant which was delicious. I also got the Xmas tree short bread which looked sweet but was not that sweet but very yummy. It's a good bakery destination in San Francisco to discover savory and sweet bake goods. Great bakery creations with decorations for the Holiday celebration Come to taste the savory and sweet sensation at the San Francisco bakery called Destination

You can smell the freshly baked challah from down the road! This is the spot for Glen Park/Noe Valley locals. Self serve hot coffee, no fuss. Locally run, they have empanadas, muffins, bread, croissants, and more! It's CASH ONLY!! I loved the energy and loyal local folks who come regularly. I got the cheese danish, it was creamy and had that little crunch to it. This shop has been open for over 20 years! They have indoor tables and nice outdoor bench. The owners were kind and warm. I will be back to try the challah!!

I've been on the hunt for the best cinnamon roll (or bun?) in the city, and found it here! After passing by this spot for *decades*, I finally stopped in, and I'm so glad I did. Everything is made from scratch, and the owner/baker is a really cool dude. Other must-try goodies include the banana cream tarts, sour cream coffee cake, sticky buns--honestly, everything. Love this quaint, quiet neighborhood gem in Glen Park! Heads up- it's cash only!

This is truly a secret gem for pastry lovers: great variety, all freshly made plus delicious coffee. This is a nice stop if you are on the crosstown trail across SF. Street parking is available if you find the spot. This is a nice residential area, so better park somewhere outside the area and walk. The prices are lower than usual. There is a restroom for the customers. They accept credit cards and cash. There are 2 tables inside, and a couple of outdoors benches.

Hidden gem. The best blueberry danish I've had in a long time. Their cappuccino was also delicious. Lots of fresh pastries popping out but I would definitely arrive early to get a great selection - especially on the weekend. Very friendly service and a cozy inside along with outdoor benches. Had the pleasure of meeting Indie, who was so kind and gave my pup a treat to have outside while I enjoyed my goodies.They prefer cash but accept cards.

The best tartlets and great cookies! My daughter just discovered their cinnamon rolls, and that's her new favorite. Everything we have ordered has been tasty.

We've all read it:"I'm hesitant to post a review because...""I want to keep this place to myself..." OR "I want to keep this place a secret..."But, here you are...posting a review to let the Yelp world know!(I'm kidding btw.) Yas, I'm going to be that person today because IF you can get me to eat olives...you deserve mad props!Destination Baking Company has been around longer than Yelp which says a lot. Driven by a million times but never stepped in because I'm not a sweets person. BUT, then I saw they had savory empanadas. SOLD!Destination Baking Company has three savory empanadas available ($5-$6): https://tinyurl.com/y2j8kyc9* Beef: Fav of the three; Argentinian-inspired with flavorful and moist ground beef, quarter boiled egg, raisins, and olives. The salty brininess of the olives are masked by the rich spices so even an olive hater like me enjoys it. * Potato Samosa: Tender potatoes with a bite. The flavor was more nuanced compared to Indian samosas but you still get the warming spices.* Chicken & Corn: Least fav; bland and uneven ratio of corn to white meat.The empanadas are large with a deliciously flaky, golden brown pastry crust. One empanada with soup or salad is good enough for a meal.On my last visit, I popped in to grab an empanada for a quick meal on-the-go and it was stone cold. Like it was just brought out from the freezer so I had to go home to warm it up. Hope this was an anomaly. Overall, it's not surprising that the beef empanada is the first flavor to be sold out...which is why I'm hesitant to post this review. But hey, gotta give Destination Baking Company props if they can make an olive hater like me craaave their beef empanadas!OTHER NOTES:* Thank you to the kind lady cashier for going outside to take my order and ringing me up since I had my dog with me. * Only two small tables for dining in (and two outdoor benches) so more of a takeout spot.* Parking can be difficult because it's a residential area.* Cc's accepted.

Small and cute, only about 2 tables inside. The pastries are fresh and classic! Cash only when I visited + pastries are 2 for 1 after 2pm

I've only been here two days and I love this place. Everything is fresh and items frequently sell out! Because it's Christmas, they are selling whole panettone cakes and gingerbread people. I can't buy an entire panettone cake but I got two gingerbread people for fun! I also got two empanadas which are huge and the last two veggie samosas which are also huge! Can't wait to try them! The regular customer lady behind me also wanted samosas but I apparently got the last ones! They offered to call her when they had some freshly made! Very cool!I'm glad I got here earlier today! 11am! Life is good with a fun local bakery!!

Great local place. Down home in SF. One morning it was a grumpy woman and the next a friendly woman. All good. Classic.
