The fried chicken is white meat, moist and the crust is perfect!! Not greasy at all!!Their apple pie is really cinnamony, tender flaky crust and the vanilla whipped cream is lightly sweetened.

Line is long but moves incredibly fast. Buttermilk fried tofu sandwich is delicious and filling. Buttermilk fried chicken sandwich is definitely a must-try though. Pear ginger scone is too sugary.

Frank Kim

The best chicken sandwich I've ever had, took it home and adding Sirarcha and BBQ sauce did nothing to enhance the taste, was perfect on it's own.

When you go to a place that serves only a fried chicken sandwich , you get the fried chicken sandwich . And you come back again and again for the fried chicken sandwich . It's that good.

PureWow

Bakesale Betty has earned a cult following for one thing and one thing only: buttermilk fried chicken sandwiches , served on a bed of vinegary coleslaw garnished with jalapeños . Read more

Ashley Mowrey

Damn good scones and sandwiches . The line is long, but I literally waited a minute to get my order, their staff is efficient and friendly AF and they know how to prepare for the lunch rush.

Daniel Grayson

Other than the baked goods , they do exactly one thing, and they do it really well : the food chicken sandwich . Yum.

Adrian Phillips

Fried chicken (or tofu ) sandwiches . Don't worry about a line as they are cranking out this fried beauties faster than you can whip out your wallet and pay the $9 for the sandwich .

Jacqueline L.

It may not be as exciting as the newer Nashville-inspired spots, but it's a solidly executed basic chicken sandwich . Takeaway only - find tables on the north side of Temescal Alley (behind Pizzaiolo)

SFist

The fried chicken sandwich , with its spicy-tangy jalapeno slaw , made this place practically world famous in the last half-decade, and every day they're open, at lunchtime, that's what the line is for. Read more

Unquestionably best fried chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. This is a must every time I am in Temescal.

Soxinly

The jalapeño coleslaw is perfect for fried chicken sandwich ! Give it a kick.

Kate Robards

Lucas Gardner

The chicken sandwich is delicious - and so is the banana bread ???? Worth waiting in line for.

Eating on ironing tables a very tasty fried chicken sandwich , refreshing lemonade and freshly baked cookies is a great experience! Staff is super friendly

Chris Nesladek

Line moves fast approx 15-20 min and you've got the best fried chicken cheat meal in the Bay Area

Shahid Choudhry

Great place to grab a deep fried chicken sandwich , pass by early, 600-800 sold everyday, when finished thats it

Lara Walklet

They have a fried tofu sandwich , too. Since I don't eat meat, I can't rate what most customers are coming here for but the sandwich was tasty.

Stephanie Chen

Don't be intimidated by the long line , it's super efficient

Andrew Milmoe

Chicken sandwiches , strawberry shortcake , all cookies are great!

Keith Chu

If you're looking for something other than their fried chicken sandwich , they also have superb brisket and egg salad sandwiches . Come early (before 12:30) for the brisket though - it sells out fast.

Jessica @trufflefrites

Get extra coleslaw w your sandwich !! Soo good. Also take a pot pie to go...it's even better than the fried chicken sandwich if you can believe it

Men's Health Mag

Order the fried chicken sandwich , of course. Ask for it the way owner Alison Barakat likes it: extra coleslaw , extra jalapenos .

My Van

Really good cookies . Chicken sandwich is the bomb. Love the slaw with it!

Julian Modesto

The shortcake! Also, the chicken , but also the shortcake!

Bobby Winter

Warm Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce and Walnuts - UNBELIEVABLY WONDERFUL!

Noel Yuri-Bermúdez

The chicken sandwich is the way to go.

Gusto Lopez

The fried chicken sandwich is amazing but the 9 dollar price tag is nuts ! My gf and I now purchase one and share because 18 bucks for two sandwiches seems a tad much.

Garry Tan

Hello chicken sandwiches . Line moves fast, don't be dissuaded from the wait.

Patty AL

The fried chicken sandwich definitely lives up to the hype! Could use a little more heat/spice, but luckily there is hot sauce available. The slaw on the sandwich rocked! Read more

Vegetarians : buttermilk fried tofu and coleslaw sandwich ????

Some of the best fried chicken I've ever had

C V

Although the line is often intimidating, it moves quickly. Enjoy the sandwiches , and don't skip the molasses cookies .

Michael Cabot

The fried chicken sandwich is substantial. Could use sriracha mayo or plain mayo

Gal Oppenheimer

I recommend the Chicken Salad because the bread in the sandwich is merely mediocre. Also make sure to try the Lemon Ice! They usually run out so don't go right before closing.

Bobby Winter

Everything, and I mean everything!

Adam

FRIED CHICKEN TO write home about. sandwhich is std. more slaw + no bun == the off-menu salad , my fav.

Heidi Steklis

Go to Bakesale Betty and order a sandwich pull up a stool next to an ironing board and dig in! Be sure to follow it up with a slice of pie . Heaven!

Pete Williams

Peach pie . Get it

Bob T

The chicken sandwich is world famous.

George Kurtyka

They usually have a 3rd sandwich special. Today was sloppy joe . Hard to deny the chicken though so go with friends and split all 3!

Keith Foxe

The lines are long, they run out of chicken but it is a success story because of the slaw -- jalapenos , cabbage and some secret ingredients. Good scones , and lemon ice. It all works.

Evangeline Brown

The cult sandwich , a lemon ice, and a chocolate brownie . Bliss!

Esther Han

Chicken Sandwich with a refreshing Lemon Ice! Lines are crazy during peak (lunch ) hours-- everyday!

Aaron Moy

Best sandwiches . Don't forget the lemonade or the strawberry shortcake !

Hana Na

Fried chicken sandwich is large enough to share for two. Order with a lemon bar , brownie , ginger cookie , and a choc cookie . Glorious!

Matthew Deutsch

fried chicken sandwiches ! the fillets are juicy, crisp, and not oily.

Chelsea

Anticipate not being able to find parking and waiting in a line . Fried chicken sandwich is good but not worth the hype but it could've just been an off day. Very generous piece of chicken :)

Jeff Wittich

Chicken sandos are epic

Jason Quiz
