Just like the Golden Gate Bridge and cable cars, there are desserts that make San Francisco uniquely special and memorable. It’s not surprising that such a food-loving city would have beloved local favorites; many of these sweet treats can only be found by making a visit to the city. Some of the desserts on our list have been part of San Francisco tradition for years, while others are recent newcomers eagerly embraced by foodies. Read on for the most iconic desserts of San Francisco.
When you imagine a classic ice cream sundae, you’re probably envisioning Ghirardelli’s famous sundae: vanilla ice cream, handmade hot fudge, tons of whipped cream and a cherry on top. Although there are several Ghirardelli stores around the city now, go to Ghirardelli Square for the full experience of eating an ice cream sundae in an old-fashioned ice cream parlor with gorgeous bay views just steps away.

The two main goals when going to Mr. Holmes Bakehouse are 1) get there early enough to snag a cruffin before they sell out and 2) take a victory photo holding the cruffin in front of their “I got baked in San Francisco” sign. Their cruffin, a croissant baked in the form of muffin, is a flaky, sugary sweet delight. They start selling them at 9a.m. so your best bet is to arrive a little before then.

It’s a testament to chef Belinda Leong’s talents that she took a relatively unknown pastry called kouign amann and turned it into the hottest sweet in town. This supercharged cousin of the croissant is buttery, sugary addictiveness. B. Patisserie offers kouign amann every day and in special seasonal flavors throughout the year.

The charming 20th Century Café gives you a taste of Eastern European café culture, with an array of Austro-Hungarian classics like linzertorte, sachertorte, knishes and pirogies. What you’ll see most customers eating, though, is their signature Russian Honey Cake, a towering confection of delicate cake layers sandwiched with honey cream. It’s richer than it looks and utterly scrumptious.

Sam Zanze only sells one item in his shop and he’s been selling it for almost 40 years, which tells you all you need to know about how good his cheesecake is. Its very soft, almost soufflé like texture is its claim to fame. Your best bet is to call ahead to make sure they are open and to reserve a cheesecake for pickup—they’re that popular. Once you’ve tried it though, you’ll hope he never closes shop.

Donuts may be practically a dime a dozen in SF, but a donut bigger than your hand is a true rarity. A giant (almost 10″ across) donut covered in glaze and sprinkles may be your kid’s wildest sugar-filled dreams come true. Although Bob’s Donuts has a standing challenge to finish a giant donut in three minutes for immortalization in their Hall of Fame, it’s probably a more reasonable strategy to take the donut home and let the kids enjoy it slowly over the week.

If your idea of a perfect weekend morning is to start the day with an all-you-can-eat brunch in one of the prettiest rooms in town, then grab the family and shimmy over to The Roxy (formerly known as the Tribeca Grand) ASAP. If it would be even better if the kids were entertained while you relaxed with your partner, then you’re really gonna love this.

A Brunch Above and Beyond
This is no average brunch; it’s absolutely decadent. We’re talking made-to-order waffles and omelets, a baked ham carving station, sides of sausage and bacon — and that’s just the hot section.
Over at the ‘cold’ table, there are so many choices that even the pickiest of picky eaters will find something to nosh on. The adults in our party went straight for the kale Caesar salad, roasted tomato tart and teeming platter of smoked salmon and sturgeon, while the junior set made a beeline to the pastries and eye-poppingly large rugelach nestled right next to a triple-tiered assortment of donuts made in-house.
Not only is the food top-notch, The Roxy brunch serves Jack’s coffee, and should you so desire, endless cocktails can be yours for a mere $20. All this plus jazzy live music as you dine, and easy stroller parking.

But Wait, There’s More
Once your kid is done eating, he or she can run downstairs to the hotel’s movie theater to watch a classic family-friendly film. Movies run from 11 a.m., when brunch begins serving, to 4 p.m. The current movie schedule is: Bolt, Mulan and Cinderella (2015) (May 15); The Croods, The Lion King and The Goonies (May 22), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (original), Tangled and Honey I Shrunk the Kids (May 29).
While the theater is a tad far from the dining room — it’s hard to keep an eye on the kids, and we kept wishing they had a staffer on deck just to make sure the theater didn’t descend into chaos — listening to live music, diving into The New York Times while the child was enjoying The Nut Job, made for a little bit of paradise.
A final note: Technically, there’s a two-hour limit per table, but enforcement of that is up to The Roxy’s discretion, based on occupancy on any given day.

Stollen … at Dinkel’s
The only change that’s been made to the stollen at Dinkel’s, which has been a bestseller since the bakery first opened in the 1920s, is swapping lard for butter in the recipe. This holiday season they will be baking 600 pounds of the German cake each day. Kids will love getting their hands messy and white as snow from the powdered sugar that coats the outside of this fruity and nutty dough kept moist with buttercream.

This traditional holiday cookie is popular with families in Germany, Denmark and The Netherlands and is part of the St. Nicholas Day (Dec. 6) celebration. While “nusse” means “nuts” in German, the cookies don’t usually have nuts but are spice cookies (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg) dusted with powdered sugar and we have yet to meet a kid who doesn’t love powdered sugar!

Try the sweet and spicy gingersnap cookies and buttery shortbread cookies rolled in festive red or green sugar or dipped in chocolate. Don’t forget the Sno-ball pecan cookies rolled in powdered sugar, which will melt in your mouth. Leaving these cookies out for Santa will be sure to put him in a giving spirit.

A chocolate-covered vanilla roll is filled with chocolate mousse and the bark is, you guessed it, more chocolate ganache. Meringue mushrooms are a fitting garnish for this cake, and if you chop off the end, the swirl of the sweet roulade inside will resemble a chopped off tree branch.

Anyone who likes Nutella will go nuts (pun intended) over Pastry Chef Manuel Bouillet’s gianduja tart. The young Frenchman makes his own hazelnut and milk chocolate ganache and almond cream for filling the tart, then tops it with light milk chocolate cream and milk chocolate sheets. He makes smaller individual tarts at the shop each day, but for the holidays, you’ll want to share with your whole family.

For almost 50 years, Tag’s Bakery has tried to keep up with the demand for their delicious Florentines.

Add some sweet spooky fun to your party with this Blueberry Rickety Eyeball Punch from FoodNetwork.com. It’s super easy, so kids big and small will be able to help after a little guidance. Mix these frosty eyeballs with the blueberry punch recipe below or any drink of choice for an extra icy surprise. Note: These eyeballs take about an hour to freeze, so plan accordingly.
Total Time: 1 hr 10 min
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients:
12 to 24 fresh blueberries
12 canned lychees in syrup, drained, plus 5 to 6 tablespoons syrup from the can
3 cups blueberry juice cocktail
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4 limes)
2 cups sparkling water
Ice
Method:
1. Stick 1 to 2 blueberries, depending on their size, into the cavity of each lychee. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet and freeze, about 1 hour. (Wait until the “eyeballs” thaw a bit before eating, so that you don’t choke on them.)
2. Stir together 5 tablespoons of the lychee syrup, the blueberry juice and lime juice in a bowl or pitcher until combined. Stir in the sparkling water and add the lychee eyeballs. If it is a bit tart for your taste, add the remaining tablespoon syrup.
3. Serve in tall glasses over ice, spooning the lychee eyeballs into the glasses as you pour. For a grown-up twist, stir in the gin before adding the sparkling water. Enjoy!
