Batter Bakery

Kalamata olive scone I may lose my house my car my marriage but I can’t stop, I must have you.
I don’t want a dry ass biscuit dressed like a scone, I want a batter scone, especially a savory one.
Oh and the counter staff is super nice.
And for a few bucks you can have a bag of fresh cookie love chunks to share with your coworkers and make them be nicer to you so you will bring more cookie love chunks to work.

Love this place and wish they had a location in Marin. They put together an amazing cookie decorating party for my daughter’s 10^th birthday and the girls all had a fantastic time. Their cookies are birthday cake are the best — perfectly balanced and not too sweet. Will definitely make the trip from Marin in the future when we need top notch baked goods!

This is a go to for me whenever I’m craving something sweet! There are some food options with plenty of dessert choices. I always go during cookie happy hour from 3−6pm daily. Cookies are only $ 2 at that time which is totally worth it!

Walked by this place and had to try it out. We had the Sand Angel cookie, Harvest muffin and Chia oatmeal but my favorite was the Lavender Sea Salt cookie. I really liked the taste and flavor. They have a booth at the Farmer’s Market outside the Ferry Building on Saturdays. Staff were nice and helpful in answering questions.

Cute local bakery had the snickerdoodle with small reese’s peanut butter cup in the middle cookie and I think it might be the best cookie I’ve ever had.

A co-​worker brought some cookies from here and I was sort of unimpressed. Their gingerbread men were kind of stale and lacking in flavor. Their candied chocolate (M&M basically) cookies were pretty good but nothing for me to go crazy about.

We came in for take out lunch. Ordered from the prepared foods display and chose the tuna, broccolini and fall medley (squash, corn, tomatoes), as well as chocolate chip cookies and a caramel pecan bar. Overall it was good although everything was pretty refrigerated so we had to microwave it a bit when we got home. Also the tuna needed sauce so we used seeded mustard, which was a good fix. My boyfriend is a regular and is a huge fan.

Lisa and her team are always a pleasure to work with. They listen to the client and give them exactly what they want, only better! The cakes and pastries are always delicious and visually stunning! We recommend Batter Bakery to all our clients.

I found this bakery here on Unilocal because of it’s proximity to Crustaceans. I was throwing a surprise party for my husband and needed a bakery that delivered. I don’t have a picture of the cake because the restaurant sliced it in the back but it sure was delicious. All the guest enjoyed it and the frosting was not too heavy like normal buttercream frostings. Thank you Batter Bakery for a cake well done

This wasn’t too far from the place where I got my hair done plus I wanted to buy a few sweets for my craving desires and my family’s. I wasn’t too sure what to get, should have checked everything twice before doing so. But from what I saw there’s a variety of sweets to other snacks to choose from.
Nonetheless, I decided to just try the cupcakes. There were six flavors and I had them all. I’m not too sure whether they had more to choose from but 2 $ per cupcakes, I have my expectations but it seems appropriate compared to the prices of other cupcakes in local bakeries.
They weren’t too sweet but enjoyable. I really love how soft the cupcakes were and the amount of frosting wasn’t overbearing either. Personally I enjoyed the red velvet and carrot cake flavored the most.
I really look forward to coming back to try those ice cream sandwiches they had on this little freezer in the corner too.
I’d recommend it, taking a star out because I have yet to taste the other items they provide there. Most likely going to make an update review but if you’re around check the place out! It has a nice amount of space to relax inside too and enjoy what you bought too.

Inventive desserts and pastries with unusual and wonderful ingredients.
Amazing ice-​cream sandwiches
— mesquite/​pepita (pumpkin seed) cookie with avocado ice cream
— buckwheat cardamom cookie (gluten free) with plum ice cream
— ginger cookie with plum ice cream
Mesquite flour peach tart, served to rave reviews at a dinner party. The mesquite flour was kind of like banana bread or poppy seed bread — moist, savory, wonderful — and native to CA and AZ.
Peach and sage bread in a moist banana bread style. Rosemary plum bread in a moist banana bread style.
Best brownie in SF.
Cookies are amazing
— Ginger cookie with dried cherries is one of the best cookies I have ever eaten. Ginger plus cherries — who knew? Served warm at the farmer’s market — I almost cried, it was so good.
— Very good chocolate chip cookie, one version of which has bourbon (I think) soaked cherries, which is wonderful.
— Triple chocolate espresso… cookie. This stuff is jet fuel. Delicious jet fuel.
The Polk street location has savory items to eat there or take out. The roast beef looked perfect, so I will return to try that.
The Embarcadero location does not have a freezer for the ice cream sandwiches, nor do they have savory items. They have «cookie happy hour» (discount on that day’s remaining fresh cookies) between 4 – 6 pm. I’d much rather have a cookie than a cocktail, so I have finally found a place that has my kind of happy hour.
The Saturday Ferry Building farmer’s market stall has the room temperature goodies, plus an interesting «warmer» to serve warm cookies. Best cookie at the farmer’s market by a couple of orders of magnitude.

I went here on a Sunday afternoon with my wife because she was craving cookies. We had the secret recipe Sand Angel cookie and chewy chocolate chip cookie that the friendly girl behind the counter recommended. The Sand Angel was amazing! It tasted like a cross between a molasses cookie and a snickerdoodle. The salt on the top of the chocolate chip cookie was a great touch. I will definitely come back to try more of the treats at Batter.

I wanted to love this place, both the first and second time I came here.
I had the chocolate chip cookie this time, and was left craving chocolate. Had a weird taste, the dough didn’t accentuate the chocolate in the cookie.
I really wanted a cupcake this time, but I wasn’t willing to pay over 3 bucks for that tiny thing. I did the first time I came here. Good, but not for that price.

You can order all of these tasty treats from GOODEGGS .com with Free delivery !
I could go on & on about all the delicousness that comes from this place, but I’ll just highlight my absolute favorites. First BlueBerry Crumble, it is a holiday specialty item, but if you request it and they’ve got the berries they’ll definitely put one together. For those who don’t know BlueBerry Crumble is basically a crustless blueberry pie with brown sugar crumble baked on top, it’s delicious warm over ice cream or chilled by itself. Second fav is the CARMELITA bar, a bar filled with everything good, chocolate chunks, walnuts, sugar rolled oats, I love sending these in care/​gift packages to loved ones because they always stay fresh. Third fav is the Strawberry Rhubarb pie, also a specialty item but if it can be made then definitely try it ! Totally reminds me of summers at my Grandma’s house.

Dropped by yesterday and just missed the happy hour prices. :(
We nabbed the last chocolate chip cookie though! Ordered two cookies and two cupcakes. The cookies were $ 3 each. The texture was a good mix of crunchy and chewy. We also had a red velvet cupcake and the caramel-​y chocolate one.
Nice place to stop by if you’re craving a dessert. Buy 12 items, get one free.

Great delicate cupcakes worth the money! I’ve ordered cupcakes that were so overwhelmingly overly sweet that I couldn’t take another bite. I love how delicately sweet Batter’s cupcakes are. They are made beautifully as well, and well worth the money. Thanks for making my company happy!

I ordered four boxes of shortbreads to be delivered to SoCal but due to an error from GSO delivery service, the shortbreads weren’t delivered on time and I had to leave for vacation. I contacted Jen and she understood the problem and issued a refund even though it wasn’t Batter Barkey’s fault. I’ll definitely order again. And actually eat them this time!!!

Now that was a super solid chocolate chip cookie!
I’m a chocolate chip cookie fan. I have tried almost every cookie worth trying in the city and this one is quite delicious. It’s similar in recipe to the one at fraiche yogurt. They layer the chocolate throughout the cookie. It’s not really just chips, it’s more like a layer of chocolate goo you taste in every bit. It had a little bit of fleur de sel on top which was a nice touch. Overall it was an awesome experience. I’ll have to come back.

Popped into the Russian Hill store yesterday to pick up a favorite scone — orange & chocolate chip.
Newsflash — Batter makes ice cream sandwiches!
OMG…there goes the waistline: p

I’d initially planned on writing a rave review for Square Meals, which shares a space with Battery Bakery here on Polk, but then realized my favorite item of yesterday’s meal actually came from the Batter Bakery side of the operation.
So it may be a little confusing, but unlike everything else in the glass deli-​case, the vegetable quiche is actually made by the Batter Bakery folks! Anyway, the veggie quiche is a slice of creamy deliciousness that is on par with my absolute favorite quiche, found at B Patisserie. And not at all extravagant at $ 4.50.
Batter also has a really great selection of cookies, including their signature sand angel, though I’m partial to their sea salt sprinkled chocolate chip. Cookie happy hour every day from 3−6pm means they’re only $ 2 each rather than $ 2.50.
