In early September, I visited Breadbelly, a popular bakery and cafe serving pastries balancing Asian and Californian influences, with friends for the first time. Located on Clement and 15th Avenue in the Inner Richmond, Breadbelly is known for their impressive selection of exquisite pastries, sandwiches, and signature drinks.
We tried a few things when we visited: the Fig-Honey Danish, the Breakfast Sandwich, and the Blueberry Violet Lassis. The danish — made with figs, honey cream, dark summer jam, and toasted sesame – was as delicious as it is photogenic. Although I can't remember what it tasted like exactly so many months later, it's clear that it has a flakey crust, reminiscent of a kouign-amann, perfectly prepared figs, and so many sesame seeds to boot. The Breakfast Sandwich was made with a fried egg, smoked ham, gruyere, sweet and sour kale, and fermented chili paste on a pandesal bun — more sophisticated than your traditional morning sandwich. My friend seemed to enjoy his Blueberry Violet Lassis as well.
While quite a trek from Oakland, if I visited Breadbelly in the future, I would try the Kaya Toast, Curry Bun, Sesame Horchata, or one of the other delectable pastries or drinks they serve.
