Little Bee Baking

Oh my, this little bakery is sweet! I’ve had so many of their offerings– ginger cake, cookies, and even their pre-​made pie crust for thanksgiving and everything was wonderful! They obviously use the highest quality ingredients.

I only tasted the chocolate sea salt cookie but it was amazing! It had a really delicious but rich flavor, and it was a little crispy, and thin. Typically I like soft cookies so I was surprised that I loved this one.
I had my doubts initially — the bakery is cute but minimalistic in options, don’t let that deter you!

Stacie’s sweet shop of super yummy baked treats. So many favorites; Almond cookies, cardamom coffee cake loaf, cloud brownies, corn almond muffins. Ordered up a birthday cake that made the day even more special.

Tucked in the little neighborhood of Bernal Heights lies a cute little bakery. Delicious goods, my fave was the flourless almond macron. You always kind of expect gluten free pastries to be a little more dense than others, which is a plus in my book… the bite size, powdered sugar-​dusted mound was heavenly. I would not mind having this treat for breakfast, lunch & dinner.
Owner is super sweet, Happy 2 year anni!

A hidden gem in Bernal Heights. Cute storefront. Located on the main drag.
Our friend gave us a heads up that Little Bee would celebrate its 2^nd birthday with $ 2 on most items. So of course we had to go as we are supporters of small business owners. Not so to say anything about having a sweet tooth.
Hubby had the caramel apple bundt cake. I had the flourless chocolate brownie. Two cups of Four Barrel coffee. We ate there. One bench table. Our food served on real plates and cups and saucers. So quaint and cozy.
While we were there, customers streamed in. They appeared to be locals, present company excluded as we drove over from the Avenues.
Both our baked goods were yummy. On the way out we bought a half dozen cookies. Six varieties. So one of each. Had two last night. Thin and chewy. A big shoutout for the dark chocolate sea salt cookie.
Everything is made from scratch. You walk into the small storefront and the baked goods are in a tiered case. They also serve Three Twins ice cream.
I’m glad Little Bee isn’t in my ‘hood. My waistline would expand by inches in no time!

Smaller selection that I had expected, but cute shop and friendly service.

Very cute, easy to miss shop in Bernal Heights. It’s baked excellence. Simple, home style offerings. Perfect recipies, perfectly executed and perfectly fresh.

He stopped in for $ 10 loaf of something cakey & fruity. Had I been choosing, I would’ve went with the ginger loaf, as the dark molasses color intrigued me.
I almost made it out without purchasing anything but my will power diminished when I spotted wide-​mouth jars filled with cookies, about five varieties total. At $ 1.50 each, I could’ve tried them all with the change I keep at the bottom of my purse, but limited myself to just two. Though the savory rosemary cornmeal cookie was undoubtedly unique, I stuck with a couple sweet ones:
– brown butter: absolutely buttery, had a nice caramel-​type flavor & a hint of balanced saltiness.
– chocolate sea salt: too much of each ingredient; crystals were concentrated on one area, making that part overly salty. Fudge-​like flavor, reminded me too much of a bitter dark chocolate.
These small, thin, crisp cookies don’t give me the same mouthfeel satisfaction that chewy cookies do.

The almond macaroon was completely amazing. Sad that it was gone in a few bites.

Very nice little shop. Very friendly staff. Good foods offered.
Not only that, they had something for my son, who has milk and nut allergies.
There offer some good stuff, and I am a fan of chocolate, so cookies and tarts were my deal.

This is, in my opinion, the best bakery in San Francisco. I’ve been coming here since they first opened and have never been disappointed. Every single thing they do is done with such care and more importantly, tastes amazing. The chocolate tarts, cornmeal rosemary cookies (which taste incredible as an ice cream cookie sandwich with three twins strawberry ice cream), and the ginger loaf are probably my favorite things but ask me on another day and I might be raving about their Meyer lemon tart or affogato. Really, everything is excellent. What prompted today’s review was picking up another beautiful, delicious birthday cake from LB. I have ordered 4 or 5 cakes from Little Bee, each one different but equally wonderful. Stacy, the owner and her staff are so talented and kind and deserve every single one of these 5 stars & more!
Thank you Little Bee!

OMG! I just inhaled the flourless chocolate brownie. Lucky I had some milk in the fridge. It was light and chocolaty. I hope to drive across town someday to have more.

Fresh baked goods here are amazing — from little nibbles like merangues, brownies, and gingerbread, to the main events … like tarts, pies and cakes. Stacie is a real pro — former pastry chef at Chez Panisse. She’s a big deal but super humble and dedicated to excellence. It’s a pleasure to eat here, and have some 4 Barrel coffee. This is a first date place … guaranteed to win you a second on style and taste alone :) (AND they have chocolate made without sugar, for sugar-​free fans!)

I love Stacie’s Team! Wonderful, most organized bakery I have ever been! Love! Love! This little bakery that just happens to be on my walk with the dog and on my way to playground with my children. Best compliment about this bakery was for days after my daughter’s birthday, people were still talking about this cake that Little Bee Bakery made! People love this cake! My daughter love the icing. :)
I love Stacie and her wonderful staff! Most loving & kind-​hearted people there. So happy that they belong in Bernal Heights neighborhood. SO kid-​friendly! BIG A+++!!!

Such a cute café, loved their Rosemary Cornmeal cookie. They serve Four Barrel coffee, which is nice but not my favorite. Still, super friendly owners! I also love that they have an open kitchen — I love watching people make pastry!

Popped in for a quick chai tea latte before signing our lease in Bernal! The BF got an iced jasmine tea & a flourless chocolate brownie that was TDF!
Service with a smile in a cute, quaint little bakery. Great selection of cookies, cakes, tarts and treats baked right there. In fact, I’m watching them make a batch of lemon curd and it smells divine! They also sell fruit preserves, coffee concentrate and take
& bake cookie doughs!
There’s only one table inside though, so if you can’t sit, then stroll up or down cortland & enjoy the sunshine :)

After lunching on some crepes down the street, I had to stop at this very cute bakery for some baked goods for my girlfriend. They have Four Barrel Coffee as well. I bought a flourless brownie and some macaroons. The macaroons were different in that they were crackly on the outside and soft inside with a very good almond flavor. They really remind me of this Italian cookie I love, Ricciarrelli, which is kind of hard to find. I tried the brownie and it was delicious. So light and airy and with such a great chocolate flavor. You can tell the chocolate is very high quality.
They have a lot of other baked goods and I’m definitely coming back soon. This neighborhood is really changing and while it’s not the greatest place to live, I can tell by the quality of businesses popping up here that it’s going to be a better ‘hood in the next few years. Little Bee, Paulie’s Pickling, Suite Food waffles and the others on this street are worth a visit. These small businesses really impress.
The staff here is very nice, the baked goods are amazing and they have awesome coffee.

Tho I never visited the bakery itself, I’ve tried their items at an event. EVERYTHING they made was HEAVENLY. The review for two stars by another Unilocaler saddens me because this bakery does not deserve two stars for NOT having pastries. That’s like giving a (random) coffee shop two stars because they didn’t serve Chai tea or they didn’t have soy milk! Rate the establishment based on what they DO have, NOT what they don’t have.

I’ve come here twice and just love this place!
I nerded out today when I ordered a mocha and found out that they measure the mass of the espresso. Between 21.2 and 21.8 grams per mocha. Yes I’m an engineer and i got a good thrill out of this. The staff are wonderful to chat with and make some of the finest drinks and baked goods in SF.
The mocha: four barrel beans and Tcho chocolate. So delicious! And the staff and I chatted about how Starbucks drinks get you buzzed more from the sugar than the caffeine. At Little Bee, the mocha isn’t so sweet, so you’ll actually taste espresso and chocolate. In other words, get one.
The flour less brownie and cookies are really good! And great cookie dough to get to go too, as long as it makes it home before you eat it.

This place wins my heart.
I love coming in and seeing the bakers smiling as they roll out dough or taking out a fresh ginger loaf.
Keep in mind this is a brand new bakery and small so there are only so many pastries in a day, but what you’ll find is packed with deliciousness and a love for baking.
Also the owner Stacie is awesome, lovely and local.
I recently called to find a birthday cake for a friend and she texted me photos of the ones they had and put aside a beautiful vanilla bean and chocolate cake I chose with the most detailed rosettes I’ve ever seen. My friend loved it!
