Authentic Eastern European comfort food is a bit of rarity in SF, but this place knocks it out of the park . Everything tastes homemade and the prices are extremely reasonable. WinstonWanders.com

Almond croissants are well made with dense almond paste that tastes like marzipan and the bread in the Cinderella French toast is really delicious, lightly fried and topped with jam and honey-perfect.

Aysu Ozgur

Only have had delivery but everything is always great - the chicken noodle soup is my go to for when I’m under the weather, it’s so good! The pelmeni is delicious and the sweet cheese crepes as well

Pavlo Grozian

A good selection of Russian bites and dishes. But sometimes it taste different to the original ones. Maybe because of they did from different ingredients.

Irina Lo

Borscht and pelmeni are delicious! I wish I have discovered this place a long time ago

Joseph Walker

I had the green onion & egg , and the beef and gorgonzola baked piroshkis . Just enough deliciousness to fill me up. Wash it down with some of their kombucha !

Marissa B.

I think I just got introduced to my favorite bowl of soup EVER. "Borsch " = cabbage , potato , beets , tomato , sour cream , dill & parsley . What a dream!

Bennett W Wong

Nice spot for quick pastry and coffee pick up. Outdoor seating is definitely a great way to enjoy your meal outside on nice sunny days.

Peter

Get anything or everything here. Delicious desserts both sweet & savory, but also very reasonable prices. Can be very crowded on weekends

Ashley Rose

Open early but with limited seating , have a cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich on a warm day.

Jess Falkenthal

The vegan sandwich is great! Interesting flavor and the highest ratio of avocado I've ever had on a sandwich to satisfy my avocado cravings.

Shannon Z

Authentic Russian Borscht (vegetarian ), the macaroons are gluten-free and the best ever.

Cody Hard

Fantastic pastries , try the poppy seed roll and the strawberry turnover. Also great meals, the golobsty (stuffed cabbage ) is my favorite.

Serious Eats

Be sure not to miss their wonderful blinchiki, crepe-like pancakes filled with just-sweet-enough fresh cheese .

Daddy said I'm special

Best place to introduce your fellows Americans to Russian and Ukrainian basics. Kvas, pelmeni , vareniki , pirozhki , and Napoleon cake .

Evgeniy Dankovtsev

Take meat dumplings to go, $5 for a regular portion. home-made and yummy - just boil them at home and eat with sour cream . Oh, don't forget the kvas)

Ava

I have yet to have anything from the bakery that doesn't taste amazing, and they brew ritual coffee , a favorite of mine.

CJ

Passed by this one many times. Tried meat piroshki and strawberry cheese turnover. Russian style

Roberto Artiles Astelarra

Kvas and vegan sandwich is an awesome combination. Vegans be careful with the local bread , it contains buttermilk .

Their pastries are so delicious! Just ask them what is their favorite and they will help you!

It's good, but the croissant is not "amazing". The coffee is good and they have a wide selection of pastries !

J John

Good herring salad , smoked salmon , piroshkis . Napoleons are also excellent. Service can be a little rude but ... eh.

If you go 1/2hr before they close, all piroshki 's are half price. *they do not sell previous day food- it is all baked next door. Fresh every morning*

Dana Schiffner

Great oatmeal raisin cookies . Got to try the cinnamon swirl pastry or raisin swirl pastry . Dumplings are great.

A mix of pastries and Russian food . A solid choice with a wide selection but not top 10 baked goods
