Hahdough German Bakery - San Francisc

Ordered the Herrentorte cake online for my Birthday. The cake was there on time as promised. However, it was very dry and flavorless. Very disappointed overall and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Comforting cakes and pastries in the German manner. This gem was mine to find at the San Mateo Farmers Market. Every Saturday, I would get out of bed and enjoy my weekly indulgence after it knocked me asleep.

Hahdough offers a range of sweet and savory baked goods in a small takeout stand in Hayes. All of the options were authentic and not too sweet. The berliners are perfectly light and airy, with custard filling with just a touch of sweetness. The seasonal one with fresh strawberries is a perfect combination of the airy donut, lightly sweet custard, and fresh slices of juicy fruit. The strawberry jam one is packed with tart jam and really brings the flavor. The Black Forest cake is authentic in that it has that chocolate richness with the added flavor of cherry kirsch, but the texture is light and uplifting rather than heavy. All of the pastries that I've tried have a satisfying flake and distinct layers, and aren't too sweet. The pretzel sandwiches (both ham and mozzarella) options are small but delicious, with the pretzel roll itself so light and chewy, and with fresh and tasty fillings. Overall highly recommend if you're in the area! Just be prepared to take these to go since there's no seating

Cant really get more German bakery than this!I grew up in Germany (coincidentally, I think in the city the owner worked in for a while! and this bakery is doing a better job at some of the bakeries in my old hometown.Attention to detail, great taste and a large selection of baked goods! The Berliner are always great and so is the Herrentorte and Bienenstich. My absolutely favorite is sadly not usually available as a slice, but when you see it, the Donauwelle is amazing and I wish people would ask for it more frequently!

I guess the hype sailed because I 'tried ' but was not a huge fan to return anytime soon......Berliner:Fresh Strawberry This was the best of the 3. Kiddo approved!Nutella Cream AlrightSeasonal Jam It was strawberry and disappointingly sour. Even my kiddo didn 't like it!Triple chocolate slice I had better elsewhere; only the mousse most edible. Apple turnover The filling inside was sour both the apples and raisins; Croissant ham cheese Edible but had better elsewhere. Pain Suisse Not bad.
