Serious EatsAugust 12, 2014Cindarella Bakery is a charming Russian cafe with outdoor seating, freshly baked pastries and bread for sale, and a great menu of sandwiches, soups, and Russian classics. Read more
Mike WinstonJuly 21, 2017Authentic Eastern European comfort food is a bit of rarity in SF, but this place knocks it out of the park. Everything tastes homemade and the prices are extremely reasonable. WinstonWanders.com
Ben 🐱 WillisDecember 17, 2016Almond croissants are well made with dense almond paste that tastes like marzipan and the bread in the Cinderella French toast is really delicious, lightly fried and topped with jam and honey-perfect.
- Aysu OzgurMarch 14, 2019Only have had delivery but everything is always great - the chicken noodle soup is my go to for when I’m under the weather, it’s so good! The pelmeni is delicious and the sweet cheese crepes as well
Pavlo GrozianApril 28, 2017A good selection of Russian bites and dishes. But sometimes it taste different to the original ones. Maybe because of they did from different ingredients.
Joseph WalkerApril 28, 2013I had the green onion & egg, and the beef and gorgonzola baked piroshkis. Just enough deliciousness to fill me up. Wash it down with some of their kombucha!
Irina LoOctober 26, 2019Borscht and pelmeni are delicious! I wish I have discovered this place a long time ago
Bennett W WongMay 19, 2016Nice spot for quick pastry and coffee pick up. Outdoor seating is definitely a great way to enjoy your meal outside on nice sunny days.
Get anything or everything here. Delicious desserts both sweet & savory, but also very reasonable prices. Can be very crowded on weekends
The vegan sandwich is great! Interesting flavor and the highest ratio of avocado I've ever had on a sandwich to satisfy my avocado cravings.
Marissa B.June 16, 2015I think I just got introduced to my favorite bowl of soup EVER. "Borsch" = cabbage, potato, beets, tomato, sour cream, dill & parsley. What a dream!
Ashley RoseMay 26, 2018Open early but with limited seating, have a cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich on a warm day.
Cody HardAugust 13, 2014Fantastic pastries, try the poppy seed roll and the strawberry turnover. Also great meals, the golobsty (stuffed cabbage) is my favorite.- Serious EatsMay 20, 2014Be sure not to miss their wonderful blinchiki, crepe-like pancakes filled with just-sweet-enough fresh cheese.
Shannon ZSeptember 4, 2016Authentic Russian Borscht (vegetarian), the macaroons are gluten-free and the best ever.
Take meat dumplings to go, $5 for a regular portion. home-made and yummy - just boil them at home and eat with sour cream. Oh, don't forget the kvas)
I have yet to have anything from the bakery that doesn't taste amazing, and they brew ritual coffee, a favorite of mine.- Best place to introduce your fellows Americans to Russian and Ukrainian basics. Kvas, pelmeni, vareniki, pirozhki, and Napoleon cake.
Kvas and vegan sandwich is an awesome combination. Vegans be careful with the local bread, it contains buttermilk.
If you go 1/2hr before they close, all piroshki's are half price. *they do not sell previous day food- it is all baked next door. Fresh every morning*
Cole CorreaAugust 9, 2015Their pastries are so delicious! Just ask them what is their favorite and they will help you!
- J JohnApril 26, 2019Good herring salad, smoked salmon, piroshkis. Napoleons are also excellent. Service can be a little rude but ... eh.
Dana SchiffnerJanuary 31, 2013Great oatmeal raisin cookies. Got to try the cinnamon swirl pastry or raisin swirl pastry. Dumplings are great.
CJMarch 18, 2017Passed by this one many times. Tried meat piroshki and strawberry cheese turnover. Russian style
Order pelmeni with chicken broth. Allow 10 minutes cooking time.
A mix of pastries and Russian food. A solid choice with a wide selection but not top 10 baked goods
Auzzie YazdMarch 26, 2014Ground beef and Gorgonzola piroshki!! Ground beef blinchiki!! Strawberry custard croissant!! Flourless chocolate cake!! Mocha!! Early grey macaroon!!
Jennifer FatalevichSeptember 28, 2015Try to get some poppyseed babka when it's fresh out of the oven. It's divine!
Love this place! Everything is baked fresh at the bakery next door. Great borsch, great prices!
Juliana ArdilaApril 2, 2017It's good, but the croissant is not "amazing". The coffee is good and they have a wide selection of pastries!
Try the Rye Bread - Next to their "Berlin Loaf," this light rye is my favorite bread!
Piroshki and pelmeni. Kharcho is good too. No one goes home hungry.
