Cinderella Bakery & Cafe
If you long for the flavors of Russia, you'll find honest, homestyle goodness at the Cinderella Bakery & Cafe. If you've never tasted Russian cooking before, you're in for a tasty surprise. Napolean, Honey Cakes, and many savory specialties such as Piroshki and Russian pies-bring the memorable flavors of old Russia home today.

Our cafe prepares a broad selection of Russian appetizers, entrees, and side dishes you can enjoy at our street-side tables or at home. In Russia no holiday is as eagerly anticipated as Easter-and no other holiday in the Russian Orthodox calendar revolves so completely around food. We're located in the Richmond district between 5th and 6th Avenues on Balboa Street.

Cinderella Russian Bakery has a fairy tale name, there is nothing make believe about this authentic Russian bakery and cafe that has been satisfying piroshki cravings since 1953. When Mike Fishman landed in the city in 1988 from the Soviet Union, it wasn't long before Mike seized the opportunity to take over the the business from two Russian women who ran the bakery before.

I've had many bowls of borscht, and this one was phenomenal! Everything we got was supremely delicious and the kvas tasted crisp and homemade. Incredibly nice and friendly service.

Highly recommend this sweet Russian bakery! They have incredible rye bread freshly baked, and piroshki with mushrooms are super tasty. And be sure to try the restaurant food items too, the вареники with jam, and the борщ are both delicious!

I Always loved good take out food. So this time we dined in and while it tasted as good, the food was too cold; both soups and dumplings were luke warm. Not to mention molded butter 😅 but that likely just supply issue.

Very nice little place! It was hoppin' busy when we went, had to wait maybe 10 minutes in line but got a table quickly, fast service!
It was my first time having Russian food, and I really enjoyed it! The peroshki from the bakery were so good! We had beef and cheddar, potato, and mushroom styles. The mushroom was soo mushroom forward, yum yum!
Borscht was delicious! Very dill herb forward, nice stewed cabbage and tomato was still a bit of bite, very nice texture. Came with a really nice house bread, medium brown similar to a rye.
We got the boiled dumplings, potato filling, for non-Russian familiar

They have a wild selection of things to choose from, and outdoor seating was pretty cozy. The pelmeni was good, but the baked pirozhki was just meh, not heated up enough and took a few too many bites to get to the filling. The apple jelly pie/tart was just meh, apples were firm and cherry jam on top seems very artificial. Eclair and chai latte was pretty good though.

We initially only came here because that where open early on a Sunday,but I'm so happy we stumbled upon this place! Coffee and baked goods were great and they arnt kidding when it says it's a Russian bakery. Next time we are in San Francisco we will definitely be stopping here again!
