Heliana’s 3-star review: After hearing so much of Tartines from yelp and few friends, we decided to buy some desserts to go - we tried the chocolate cake and the hazelnut one - to be honest, nothing really amazing. After realising we didn't try none of their best selling items (like the tarts) we gave this place another try - pride weekend we got a spot outside (table was dirty and there was still empty cups from the previous customer and so did the next table) but who cares right - we aren't that high maintenance anyways so like a good wife that I am, brough out my napkins and wiped out the table myself and put the other stuff away from the table :). We had a lemon tart and a coffee. My husband who is a coffee freak wasn't really pleased with his coffee and we both felt the lemon tart was just as good as any other regular dessert place. Conclusion? It is not worth the wait and the hassle of this super hyped place, we also find it tad expensive. More interested in finding those small spots that make great desserts and even better coffee and you don't need to wait that long for. By no means, I will still probably return to this place to try more of their cakes to see if I change my mind :) -
Heliana’s 5-star review: Susie Susie you're always on my mind... I am falling in love with Susie's cakes. This is a tragedy especially for me that i'm on my last leg of pregnancy. HELP! I first tried the 6 layer chocolate cake couple months ago when someone brought it as a gift. The chocolate cake was so rich I can't tell you enough about it...I just recently tried their confetti cake (at a friend's birthday party). Now, I love confetti cakes but Susie's was the best I've had. Rich and delicious. So yea, these cakes are really good and I got the craves as I type this review. Not sure about the prices but I think their regular cakes are about $40 which is worth it because these cakes are really huge and can feed a lot of people! Can't wait to try their red velvet and their cupcakes :) -
Heliana’s 5-star review: Amazing bakery!!! Have tried Arsicault goodies many times but never made it to the store itself. Their croissants are definitely the best! Rich and delicious :) Have tried their plain croissants, chocolate croissants and my favorite the custard chocolate filled croissant - so indulging! Their butter cookies are delicious too. Can't wait to visit the store and try more from their menu! Highly recommend! -

Heliana’s 4-star review: Touristy? Yes, but oh so worth it! We came here on father's day Sunday June 18th after a loooong walk from Presidio picnic - Chrissy Fields - Fort Mason and then we turned here for some ice cream. Let me point out I already had 2 ice creams that day (pistachio gelato from Alimento and ice cream sandwich from Bi-Rite at presidio picnic -off the grid) but nothings was going to stop me on such a hot day!!! And Hello? Super long walk? Totally deserved it, right? Between the three of us we shared the Treasure Island - warm brownie sundae. No questions asked! That brownie though... Place is packed but lines move fast (section upstairs where the chocolate making takes place) and we easily found a free table inside :). Already missing it. Can't wait for a good excuse to go back :) -
Heliana’s 5-star review: Amazing cupcakes! A friend threw us a baby shower and she had ordered cupcakes from Sift! Delicious and moist with so many different and interesting flavours. These cupcakes were loved by all family and friends who attended the party. A huge hit! Most loved were the lemon, red velvet, pink raspberry champagne, bacon (Yes bacon haha) and the coconut one. Missed out on trying so many other flavors that were in the box which were devoured before mommy to be got there for it :P Very indulging stuff. Highly recommend for parties or just for personal enjoyment. Yum!
