Sixth Course

Was super excited to try Sixth course on our recent visit to SF! Boy! The creativity of these desserts were gorgeous. I immediately picked a few favorites and my family picked what they wanted. The cakes tasted really good and I can see all the effort and creativity that goes into it. The staff is great too. When you walk into the store you can go to the very back and see through the glass window what looks like where all the baking happens. Very clean and neat! We also picked up a few macrons and they were delicious. Some of them tasted better than the others and some were less flavorful. We also got to park right off the street on a weekend so it wasn't super busy in the area. This is a good try if you are in the area.

So in love with this place. Theirs handcrafted are amazing. Lovely and tasty desserts. Good ingredients and lot of love in details. Everything looks great. I would like to try all of them. Affogato is super cute. I’ll be back there real soon.

TLDR: 2.5 stars. Mango was pretty good but the Netflix and chill had freezer burn on it and tasted like nothing I came in and it was pretty empty around 6pm. For a dessert shop, I would assume they open later but they close at 7pm so I had to come before dinner. The mango one was pretty good and not too sweet, it reminds me of the Mexican mangoes with the taramind powder sprinkled on top. When I started on the Netflix and chill, I realized they it had freezer burn on it after the first bite. It was much harder (more frozen) than the mango one and didn’t taste fresh at all. After a few bites I also realized there really wasn’t much flavor to it either so I just stopped eating it and threw it away

A great place for dessert in the Mission. However, I find their hours very strange. This place gives off "dessert bar" vibes, which is GREAT, but they close at 7:00pm. If they shifted their hours and opened until 10pm, they would get MUCH more business from folks having dinner in the Mission and wanting something sweet afterwards.

Pricey but each Chocalate, macaron, cake, and gelato made with incredible love and care. The flavor combinations are so yummy and unique. The fillings inside of the mousse cake are so delicious and go beyond the cake texture. Order: Couple of caramelized truffle chocalates. Churro Gelato was amazing! Lavender and sesame macaron. Mango and purple velvets mousse cake.

Great place for desserts. Lovely vibe and the comic sketches on one of their glass walls was soooooo COOL. We had the triple chocolate in a glass jar and will surely visit the place again when we are around!!

My visit to Sixth Course in San Francisco was a delightful experience, highlighted by their incredible Chocolate Choux tart. This dessert is a true masterpiece, captivating both visually and in flavor. The tart's appearance is beautiful, and every bite is a symphony of chocolate aromas that tantalize the senses. The Chocolate Choux tart at Sixth Course is a treat that chocolate enthusiasts will adore. Its perfect balance of sweetness and intensity creates a deeply satisfying experience. The smooth and rich chocolate filling, nestled within a delicate and buttery pastry, delivers pure decadence with each bite.

Found this little gem on a Google whim on my birthday trip to San Francisco. The confections are made from a creative blend of ingredients that leaves you wanting more. They also have sorbets. I hope the next time I visit they try using lavender in some of their confections. Definitely, a place to visit while in the City.
