Pineapple King Bakery - San Francisco
1915 Irving St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“This beloved San Francisco institution is famous for its impossibly soft, freshly baked pineapple buns that come in creative varieties like ube, salted egg, and BBQ pork—proof that sometimes simple, no-frills excellence beats fancy presentation. Whether you're grabbing a quick pastry at the walk-up window or settling in for a slow sit with family, you'll find yourself coming back for buns that taste like they just came out of the oven and prices that won't break the bank, a refreshing rarity in the Bay Area bakery scene.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Nice little walk up pineapple bun shop. Quick, casual, no frills. Had the grandma and grandpa buns (aka the bbq pork pineapple bun and the salted egg pineapple bun). The two were the perfect sweet and savory combo. Very delicious.
