Sixth Course: Reviews & Ratings

They have the most beautiful desserts here that look like works of art; it reminds me of something you'd see at a fancy restaurant. The desserts fluctuate often and with the seasons. The store has a good Instagram presence highlighting their newest concoctions. In addition, there are chocolate truffles, macarons, ice cream desserts, and coffee drinks. This is an interesting location for a place like this. It seems to be more fitting for something on Union or Chestnut streets not some obscure place in the Mission. I'm not a fan of coming out to this neighborhood but I think it's worth it if providing individual artist-like cakes for a party where you want to impress everyone.

I love sweets that taste as wonderful as they look, which Sixth Course has an abundance of. Every beautifully decorated and crafted chocolate is a mixture of interesting and unforgettable flavors. I especially enjoyed the earl grey tea caramel chocolate! The cake was light and fluffy; I couldn't get enough of it. Lately, the teddy bear chocolate was lightly dusted with some edible iridescent powder that made it extra adorable. I felt a bit sad while I bit into its yummy head haha~ The dining area is clean and cool. I enjoyed looking at all the framed comics depicting Sixth Course staff's baking adventures :) Also, the lovely baker who helped me with my order was kind and helpful. I can't wait to return for more treats in the near future!

An absolute gem in the mission. I have been coming to this spot for nearly a decade(?!). Creative, curated masterpieces! Edible art! The chef here is really thoughtful regarding local and seasonal ingredients and my mind has been blown more times than I can count. Mother earth cake anyone??? If you see it, get the mango chili lime gelato pop. The staff is always welcoming, and the space is *very* photo op friendly, good lighting, fresh flowers.. the lot. Perfect for treating yourself or bringing a beautiful gift to a friend. They also do custom cakes for all occasions. J'adore Sixth Course!

I drop by almost every other Saturday to pick up a nice desert from Sixth Course. All the deserts are so cute and are very tasty. It's really cool to see the designs and flavors change over time with the seasons etc. You can also sometimes see them making the desserts inside the back area

Went here for dessert. Street parking only. The inside is cozy and bright. Staff were friendly. The selections were aesthetically appealing and amazingly crafted. A little pricy tho but I got some chocolate and coffee.

I've come here many times to pick up treats for special occasions and they never disappoint. What I love about their creations is not only are they inventive in flavor and high quality but they're also a work of art. These treats are great for a gift or to celebrate something since they're not your average pastries. Would definitely recommend!

Got here just in time before closing on a Saturday night and I got to thank the staff for being patient and friendly when we came in with our group of 8 for the first time. They made good suggestions and even helped us celebrate a special occasion which was super appreciated. This is no ordinary dessert shop. Delicious Edible art would be a more accurate description. You can tell care and effort was placed into making these not only taste good but look absolutely delectable. You'll be eating with your eyes as soon as you near the glass cases showcasing the various wonders. Recommend to grab a few to share with friends, the half dollar sized chocolates are a win. The ice cream pops and giant pillow shaped treats are also highly recommended.

Such a cute little haute patisserie with an amazingly welcoming and informative staff. This is one of those establishments where people refer to an unseen pastry master they refer to as "Chef." It felt like I was walking into something even Gordon Ramsey couldn't find fault in. More than anything, the food was great. The macarons, many of which are gluten free, were unique and tender. I recommend stopping in!
