Ate here lunch so I wasn’t able to enjoy their breakfast menu. The menu has many options and bakery. I got the avocado toast and honey cake. Both delicious and great for not wanting a heavy meal. My friends got the dumpling and steak sandwich, both loved it.
Here lies a quaint no nonsense bakery that cuts the frills and unnecessary chitchat and gets you exactly what you want and when you need it. Super quick and efficient staff but helpful when needed. I tried a lot of items from the menu and the piroshki might have been my favorite - deep fried guilty goodness but packs in all the flavor in the ground beef. Had the blinchikis for dine in and they were really good. I would've preferred to have a sweet and savory option though as 2 sweet ones were a lot. Overall a pleasant stay and I wish I could go back to try more of their baked goods!
So many wonderful options! Cute little cafe, delicious pastries and coffee...yumyum. Lovely little patio area with enough seating. Would definitely come back here.
Definitely get the honey cake w/ a big big cup of Earl Grey. It’s a heavenly combo. The strawberry and cream turnover was also so fresh and yummy. One of my favorite bakeries that we have tried in the city.
The service was fantastic and the food was exceptional. We tried the Borscht and Piroshki, and both were outstanding. The kindness and attentiveness of the staff added to the pleasant experience. The taste of the Borscht was particularly memorable, taking me back in time with its authentic flavor. This spot is a must-visit for anyone looking for great service and delicious, traditional dishes.
Found out about this cafe through Eater and it did not disappoint. It's a short walk from the Golden Gate park. We arrived around 11am on a weekday and by 12pm it was packed with locals and tourists. The ladies that work there are extremely nice and recommended us to try to the pirogies which lived up to the hype. The Babushka’s Chicken Soup and coffee are to die for as well. Would high recommend for the small community vibes!
Cinderella is such a cute spot to come to. We got the Pelmeni and roasted pepper sandwich. With a cappuccino and almond sponge cake. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because the sponge cake was quite dry. We also purchased the Lite Russian Rye which was great. Using the restroom here is an experience as well, you get to walk through the bakery!
We had a nice table in partial share on a sunny, warm day. It was really nice. What I ordered was tasty. I had heard a lot about this place but had yet to try it. I am very glad I finally made it. Very nice eclectic Russian bakery.

Needs more than five stars! All of the staff members were a pleasure to speak with, and the service was quicker than I could finish ordering. There is limited outdoor seating, but it is all covered which is perfect. I ordered the syrniki and two types of piroshki (one w/ cabbage, the other with potato) and they were simply to die for. I will be stopping in to this cafe every time I am in the San Francisco area!
This place is great! They have a lot of great options for food, which are much broader than a typical bakery menu. The drinks are much broader, too. You can definitely count on getting a full meal here if you want.
The staff have always been especially helpful, making recommendations and explaining different menu items, etc. They will bring your food out to you and bus your table, or you can take care of it yourself if you want.
The seating is outside, partially covered, and really a very nice environment. This is not in the part of San Francisco where you have deal with random people approaching your table outside, so the atmosphere is great all around.
My first time here! After trying their delicious beef stroganoff with mashed potatoes, Solianka soup and Kompot drink, I went back in and got a bunch of piroshkis, meat pies and sweet desserts to go! Everything was so soooo good!! I was here on a Tuesday at 3:00 in the afternoon, there was a short line in front of me, but it moved fast. As soon as I grabbed a table, the line had grown! This place is definitely popular and an asset to this Inner Richmond neighborhood. So glad I came. 😍
Delicious!
We went to this place for brunch and weren't disappointed.
The only thing I didn't enjoy was the croissant, because it was dry, most likely because it lacked butter.
But we came there for the dumplings and the normal ones had the same delicious flavour as the ones I tried in Russia. The chicken ones werent as tasty in comparison but maybe they were healthier. The desert ones with cherry are amazing.
They have a sitting space outside which is great.
Overal, I will go back to this place again for another amazing brunch and recommend that you do the same.
a bit of a long line but so damn worth it. best matcha latte, plov and medovyk i ever had
Amazing food!! And coffee too!! Definitely recommend this place!
We trekked over here from the financial district for a morning nosh after reading about the bakery being one of the best in the city and it did not disappoint. It was a misty/light rainy morning and all of the seating is outside (most covered but things were still damp!) which made our leisurely breakfast a bit wet but that is okay. The line out the door, was a great sign, especially on a late Friday morning. We ordered a number of items, including some a Russian bakery item which was the whole point of our adventure and some coffee. I will first say that regardless of what bakery item you order, there is nothing better than any freshly baked carb based item! Spinach, chocolate and cherry croissant/Danish items were delicious. We ordered this slice of something that was divine that had ground beef, spices and ? If I lived here, I would likely be a regular.
We used to live around the corner and I've since moved to Denver. So happy we stopped by the other day! The menu has expanded greatly and there's outdoor seating now. Enjoyed our borscht, salad Olivier, apricot tart and blueberry brioche.
Amazing pastry and food. Tried the honey cake, blueberry brioche, meat pie, pelmeni, meat blintz, and cream puff. Can't decide which one I liked the most.
Very limited seating though. Not sure if this is how it normally is since I went on a labor day weekend.
