Yvonne's Southern Sweets is a cozy Bayview bakery offering small-batch, homemade Southern desserts, with beloved options like pecan and sweet potato pie, and buttery cookies that evoke childhood memories.
"Yvonne’s Southern Sweets is sugar rush central in Bayview. The takeout-only bakery, which has been holding it down with Southern pastries and baked goods for over 20 years, is only open a couple days of the week, but their palm-sized, caramel-laden pecan pie alone is worth rearranging your schedule for. Other reasons to drop what you’re doing and get here for a midday sweet: the simple yet impeccable butter cookies, and the 7Up cake slices with a deep golden-brown crust." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong

"When you need an immediate sugar rush in the neighborhood, Yvonne’s Southern Sweets is the logical answer. The takeout-only bakery on 3rd St. is a Bayview staple—they do have limited hours though, so do all the necessary schedule rearranging to get here. We love the mini pecan pie, which is thick with caramel and just the right amount of sweet, along with their simple yet impeccable butter cookies and fluffy 7Up cake slices.

"What San Francisco legend Yvonne Hines started with pralines now includes cakes, cobblers, and sweets for all occasions. The self-taught baker opened her shop in 2003, and she’s grown popular for confections like cookies, 7-Ip cake (yup, incorporating the soda), and Southern classics like sweet potato and pecan pie." - Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff
