Cafe Bakery - San Francisco

Definitely come for their daily specials! All their food is very well portioned and plentiful. I appreciate the kind customer service and I always find this place as one of the locals spots.There is street parking available, along with metered parking closer to the restaurant.Also it is solo dining friendly when it’s not busy. It tends to be on the quieter side when it’s not busy which is perfect to enjoy a delicious meal.

Cozy little restaurant with a set daily special or you can order from their regular menu.Food is good.Most of it is Chinese American comfort food.Prices are reasonable but a bit more expensive after the pandemic.It's still worth it.Soup, main course, vegetable, rice or spaghetti, choice of beverage and dessert.My favorite is their roast pork and it is available on Sunday.Other recommendations are listed elsewhere.There are so many choices to choose from.Parking: You may have to park several blocks from the restaurant and walk.Make sure you drop your guests or your family members off first.Have them wait in line instead of finding parking space and the whole party arrives at the same time.The wait time can be long.A large party should call ahead to see if they'll accept a reservation.

I highly recommend1. Hokkaido tart2. Premium Milk3. Hokkaido Custard Bun4. Milk PuddingThey're are just delicious and the prices are reasonable.

Ordered the baked chicken steak with white sauce over rice (see image). Piping hot and full of cheesy, saucy goodness. The only downside was that the chicken was oversalted. (Pro-tip: they can make it with any type of sauce on top of your order even if it isn't explicitly listed on the menu.)Also tried the ox-tongue with tomato sauce and spaghetti. The ox-tongue was amazingly tender, a must-try! The sauce was very sweet and I would recommend a different choice unless you have a sweeter palette.Both orders started off with tomato soup appetizer which hit the spot and started the meal off on the right note.Ordered HK milk tea on the side. The tea is strong as expected and comes standard with sugar/artificial sweetener packets and unlimited refills. Jello was for dessert as usual but doesn't come topped with creamer anymore. Not too sweet, just right.The aunties serving us were very accommodating and kept our drinks topped off.Kid-friendliness: The waitresses were kind enough to offer our kiddos free jello and a choice of lollipop for dessert, even though their meals did not come standard with it.Just a note for families with toddlers that they only provide no-strap booster seats (no high-chairs) so come prepared!

Tasty filling HK style meals abound. Prices have gone up, but so has everything else. You get a lot of food for what you order. Go early as the place fills up fast. No more dinner rolls since the Café part of the restaurant closed.
