»SF: Citizen Cake revisited - the Patisserie
I haven't been to Citizen Cake in quite a while.
I had some things to do in SF and my original plan was to head to North Beach for pannetone. I was late and on Franklin and didn't think I'd beat the traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge if I tried to fit in North Beach. So I thought I'd check out what nearby Citizen Cake had for the holidays

They did a major remodel since my last visit. There is now a separate patiserrie. The restaurant seems more intimate and inviting. It always struck me as a cold and sterile place. This looks much better.
There's a really nice coffee menu and the hot cocoa was the best I had this season.
They have dropped the breads and ice cream which makes me sad. I liked both quite a lot. In fact the ice cream was the reason I visited Citizen Cake so much in the past.
The cupcake menu has expanded with over a half dozen cupcakes. They had some holiday cupcakes but regulars include
- Rocky Road Cupcake - chocolate chiffon cake and topped with chocolate frosting folded with chunks of Citizen Cake marshmallow and walnuts then dip it in chocolate.
- Chocolate Chip Mania Cupcake nBrown sugar cupcake and frosting both with chocolate chips, garnished with a mini chocolate chip cookie
-Pineapple Upside-down Cupcake - pineapple chunks underneath buttermilk cake topped with a passion fruit frosting & coconut
Some of the special order cupcakes sound really swell too
- Persian Love Cupcake Chiffon cake with a rose buttercream filling, saffron punch, rose confectioner’s glaze, pistachios and candied violets.
- Sticky Toffee Cupcake Date cake with a toffee injection and coconut frosting
- Key Lime Cupcake Graham cracker cupcake, key lime curd filling and cream cheese frosting
And many, many more.

They also have a selection of kids cakes such as Hello Kitty ... hmmm.
The restaurant menu seems to have changed a lot as well. The online menu seems to be a sample summer menu and includes dishes such as
- Grilled NY steak with horseradish ice cream and tempura beets
- Betty’s pancake, a Dutch-souffle with summer fruit compote
- Jook with pork belly, black bean and scallion
- Carnitas hash, potatoes, tomatillo salsa and two poached eggs
