new bakery coming to bernal!!
Someone sent me this info about it
Introducing Sandbox Bakery, the latest sliver of a corner spot bringing together the best of a Japanese deli and French bakery, opening next Monday in Bernal Heights.
Brought to you by ex-Slanted Door pastry chef Mutsumi Takehara (who also baked at La Farine and Chez Panisse), Sandbox brings an East meets West, morning-to-afternoon, bakery-and-deli lineup, complete with Ritual Roasters and De La Paz coffee that’s extracted through a cone-shaped single drip filter-the way they do it in Japan.
Once a motorcycle repair shop, this crisp take-out counter in front of the sizable working kitchen has a vague likening to Mt. Fuji, with a flinty stone wall and gleaming white subway tiles. And from the crack of dawn, the fresh-baked aromas of buttery chocolate croissants and Swiss dill biscuits wafting through the neighborhood will lure you to the automatic sliding-glass doors at the corner of Cortland and Gates.
In case French pastries get you in the mood for a little Japanese street food (when don’t they?), the Yuzu-Sage Tart and the deli-style Teriyaki Chicken Rice Burger (that’s two pieces of griddled sticky rice instead of a traditional bun) will be yours for the taking.

Woohoooo! This sounds great! Raj will get his Ritual, and I my early morning pastry. I’ll definitely swing by some time during opening week!:)
Trip report!
I went there this morning. Audrey, Kurt, and my old neighbor Amy were also there. Had a pretty awesome banana pecan muffin. Not awake enough to try the curry scone…
The drip coffee.. hmm. We all had the ritual beans and agreed something was off. Next time I will try the de la paz.
I tried the yuzu marmalade and sage brioche today! (although what I really wanted was the pig in a blanket…i’ll try that one tomorrow when it’s cold and rainy)
Tried the de la paz. Better!
Also, they have red bean buns!
Also, Jess’ bro’s roomie works there!
mmmm negi-miso bun
i got there too late so the red bean buns and the pigs in a blanket were all gone. boo. but i ended up getting a blackberry scone which was good!
