Plenty of savory and sweet vegan items. My absolute favorite are the potato burekas. Customer service is good and the employees that have helped me have always been patient in describing each bakery item. (Side note, You can sign up for emails and also order for pick up at East bay locations).

We learned about Frena on the Ear Hustle podcast and visited while on a trip to San Francisco. Amazing pastries! Highly recommend!

Legit bread and doughnuts, vegan friendly! Even for a non-vegan(me)!

I am so glad to have found this awesome bakery with a large selection of vegan choices including donuts. The desert choices are very limited for vegans. Great staff and chef too. I shall go back often.

We had the best time! Their food is amazing and their service is beyond awesome!! Out of this world 10/10 would recommend. Get the pizza bagel and sabich

This is a great place. The owner was super kind and welcoming. He happily explained all the food, enthusiastically answered all my dumb questions about the food and culture. So warm and welcoming. Friendly price too!

LOVE IT! Plenty of delicious vegan pastries, both sweet and savoury. Have been to many vegan places and never seen so many options. Went again the next day. Not vegans love it to, just get in!Ranging between about 2,5$ and 8$. Good coffee as well.Great friendly service!

Pleasant place in the midst of a sad surrounding.. friendly and personal staff explained their offerings, which include many vegan sweet pastries of levantine origin. Had a nice illy espresso. Will be back for an update after trying some food

The food was amazing, I got a cardamon coffee as well which was really good. Never had anything like it. The people who work there are super friendly and being in that area its refreshing. Definitely come check this place out of youre nearby or just make your way. You wont regret it. But for those who dont want to make the journey I believe they have door dash.

How do I start?! Wow!!! order this morning ice coffee that was great and a few Burreka and sweet pastry didn’t plan to spend much but it was so good that I order catering for my company!1. Clean2.great service3.no parking (of course SF)4.open 4 days a weekDefinitely my new spot!!!!

Finally a good Israeli bakery on the west coast. By far the best Pita Bread you will find anywhere in the Bay Area plus other goodies. This place has been opened for just a few weeks and I already know people who got addicted to it.

I would say, its a great restaurant with amazing food and a variety of options.We loved the place and chose two classic Margheritas and one Carpaccio de Bresaola. And it was sooooooo tasty and authentic. I even ate my fingers, for sure. You have to check it out!

Came here with a friend because were always on a budget (students)and the folks there were so welcoming and helpful. They gave us samples and answered questions, seemed genuinely excited about feeding us and shared input on the food and coffee. Amazing!!

This restaurant is surely one of the most attractive place in the region. Whenever I come there I am so satisfied. They manage their high level service and the highest level of food they provide. You definitely will enjoy this this restaurant. Very recommended.

I had no idea what they make/bake. I wasnt even sure what I ordered but had the mushroom and pesto sandwich, coffee and cinnamon roll. I was not sure what they called their house coffee but ordered it. I have to say the food is amazing. The cinnamon roll was good but the sandwich flavors and coffee was outstanding. I would definitely go here again.

Great bakery for all. It is also kosher. Very accommodating to customize food the way you like it. Somewhat limited seating. Food was great and reasonably priced.

Nice kosher place the folks are down too earth and friendly I worked on an art piece here that had been defaced with graffiti these beautiful people didnt deserve that, Ill add more pictures in the future

This is my first time in San Francisco and I only eat kosher food, a friend of mine recommended to go to Frena for breakfast to get an authentic middle eastern food like in Isreal and he was not wrong I got the spinach mashroom and mozzarella burekas with a glass of late and it was great. The service was nice and fast, prices are fair and the place was clean. When Im back in San Francisco I will definitely come back.

Oh My Tastebuds if you need kosher food in San Francisco look no further! The quality and taste are 10/10. Even a basic coffee was done so right, not sure how they make coffee so good, but they do. The food is just as good, I promise.

Best! Hummus,pita sweets, babka, and coffee. Just like in TelAviv

An amazing kosher bakery! A great selection of in house baked goods. I had a nice bagel, flat bread with eggplant, eggs and other great fillings (see photo) and a donut. It is definitely a place to go for breakfast or lunch if you are around the Moscone convention center.

First time trying a kosher place and it is not a bad experience.Asked for extra sabich hot pocket and it did come with pickles, hot sauce and peanut sauce on the side and liked it.The oven roasted egg plant stuffing in the pocket was soo good.

Almost half of their food is vegan including the donuts which is so rare in the city. I really like this place and will definitely come back to try more stuff!

Delicious! A must if youre ever in San Fran

Waited so so long for this place! All of the products are amazing and fresh! Love it!!!

Really good things, very helpful and cheerful staff. The only drawback is the area is a bit sketch, but the city I think is working in that and I didnt feel unsafe while eating there.

Great place! Very delicious shakshuka and burekasim!!! Exactly like be aretz!

The bread is amazing! Had a creamy potato and green onion pocket Frena Style and a bavarian cream doughnut and both were great. The staff is super nice and friendly. Will definitely be coming back to try other of their baked goods.

Frena bakery was a stop for us while visiting from Los Angeles. It felt as close as it gets to a traditional Jerusalem bakery - freshly baked good, delicious, and had seating if you want to stop for a quick bite.I had a savory and a sweet for breakfast and loved it. Had to walk it off after but Ill be abck!

Great Israeli and kosher bakery. Super recommended!

Amazing Israeli/Jewish/middle eastern bakery, borekas, sambusak, rogelach, Chala, pita and more, always fresh

Wow. Everything is great, nice people, even the deli items rock.

I came strictly to witness all the vegan options I heard about. They had a case of savory pastries & sweets w/ the V sign. I think its better to get their early though because most stuff was out. I ended up trying the chocolate maamul. Very good. Next time I hope to try the vegan jelly donuts.

Clean fresh and top notch bakes. If youre in the area support them its hard to find mom and pop great places this is one:)

Excelnt food . Very reasonable prices

Verry good food and place&service

If you are looking for delicious pastries and bread for breakfast or quick meal you found your place.Pesto Mussarela Mushroom Pocket is great even better adding boiled eggs. :)The coffee is honest, nothing special.Free WiFi.

Excellent food. I visited the area for a conference and there are not many kosher options in SF but the food was outstanding.I got a shakshuka and a soup both were great.Staff was also very friendly. Even offered to bring me a coffee while I was waiting for my Lyft.

Great place but no meat

I subscribe to the podcast Ear Hustle, and the most recent episode featured Frena Bakery. What a beautiful thing the owners have done, and what an amazing story about the beauty of giving second chances. As Rabbi Yosemite Yitzhak once said: It’s never too late. There’s always a second chance.”I hope and pray the Frena Bakery is able to overcome the great challenges that the COVID19 pandemic has placed upon it and so many other businesses. May God reward you for the blessings youve bestowed on so many seeking a second chance at life - mitzvah upon mitzvah. L’Chaim!

Very good and fresh food. Weve ordered several different dishes and all of them were delicious.

Place a little unorganized. The food was ok, nothing special unless you are limited to where you can go, due to religious purposes.Tried two things, the cookies tasted hard and stale.Pricing was moderate - expensive.

Visiting from out of town. The food is delicious and the atmosphere wonderful. The only downside is the neighborhood. Walked down 6th street which seemed a little sketchy.

Frena! So thankful that they are doing pop-ups around the Bay Area during Covid-times, as I am not trekking downtown at all these days... In particular I enjoy their Chocolate Babka, Pesto Babka, and the savory Burekas. If we could rate half stars I maybe would have put 4.5 ONLY because sometimes the products are inconsistent, BUT I would not want to drop down to 4 stars, so they get 5 stars - all the good stuff makes up for the few times things were not perfect.In general the quality is great, the service is friendly, AND they are Kosher, have vegan options, and have been receptive of feedback when Ive given it.

Always like to pop in when I can. Great food. Burekas is awesome.. try their Sabiah.

Very cool spot. The pockets and delicious, the cous cous salad was also good. Friendly staff and service. Seating was a bit tricky, very limited.

The bakery itself is excellent, though a bit over-priced. If the food scores a 5-star review, the location receives a resounding 0. Horrifying neighborhood; didnt feel 100% safe.Bottom line - If youre looking for Kosher food in SF you cant get much better in terms of quality, but keep an eye open.

For years Ive been waiting for this kind of authentic Israeli food, the tastes and flavors, no one can do it the way they make.

Great bakery with amazing middle eastern food. Try out their sweet delicacies as well.

Very tasty food and great service

I was transported back home to Israel the moment I stepped foot inside. Israeli music was playing. Selection of pastries was amazing. Labane and zaatar tasted fresh, burekas was delicious, best sofganiut I have ever tasted in the US. The costumer service was on point. Cant wait to go back.

This place is never open. Walked by it from 6am till 830am and it was closed. Looked on we site and it says open only Thursday and Friday from 1am - 115am. What kind of bakery is this?

My first time in a Jewish bakery and I left wanting more. Various different new things for me to try and friendly staff makes this place worth a visit!

Awesome stone fired breads and pastries

Fresh bakery and pastries. Staff was great!

So Amazing, you will walk in the door and want everything because it smells unbelievable!

OMG, everything, absolutely everything was pure awesomeness and delicious. Khanuka table was the best tasting in years, but this place is for everyday joy ...

Exceptional and delightful food, I loved the atmosphere the spot has, and the workers were super nice. Will definitely visit here next time.

Large assortment of vegan pastries! The mushroom puff was great.

Cool place

This restaurant is my number one site. Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this restaurant. when I I need a decent supper, this place comes instantly to my mind. Great and diverse food and a large menu.helpful staff members, and great ambience. Also important, the cost is honest. I sent my friends to this spot with no hesitation.

My favorite bakery/cafe in San Francisco!

Amazing Jewish bakery, try everything you see and it will all be amazing. They also have some PHAT frozen pita you cant find most places available for purchase!

Great chocolate Ruggalach and cream pastries. Would come here again, just need more selection and available items. Pricey for the amount you get a but its good.

I go with my wife to this lovely spot quite often! This is the best place to pass a nice evening. I visit this spot at least once a month. The cooking is great, the team is professional and the prices are decent. I like meeting in this place over a nice meal.

Loved their vegan baked treats!! Cinnamon donut was to die for... slightly sweet, very soft, spongy and just perfect!! Also, extremely polite people and good service. I will definitely come again.

The best kosher bakery in San Francisco !

The experience was horrible, I wouldnt give any stars. I placed an order two days in advance of Rosh Hashanah. In a morning of a holiday received email that the order is being prepared and will be delivered at 3PM. Received the following notification at 3PM :The restaurant canceled this order because theyre out of a menu itemRosh Hashanah dinner was ruined. Will never trust them again with the food delivery. Very upset customer here.

I love this place. The atmosphere, the people and the food are wonderful. No matter what I order I always buy a sufganya if it is available. Also, it being kosher is a plus. Whats not to like?

Great place, great staff

The food is regularly fresh and delightful, employees hands over excellent service. I liked the cleanliness and mood. Would recommend to others.

Stopped in just as they were lighting the menorah and they gifted us some latkes and cookies. Lovely pastries and lovely holiday cheer from happy employees. Will definitely return!

This is absolutely one of the finest place in the area. Whenever I visit this place I am absolutely happy. They maintain their high standard service and the highest level of meals they offer. You are always happy with this restaurant. Warmly recommended.

Frena came all the way to our house to deliver delicious baked goods! Frena gave us a taste of home on these crazy days. Thank you very much!

The Bavarian cream donuts are perfect. Light, airy, flavorful, and will leave you feeling great afterwards. Plus theres a cook YouTube video of them prepping the donuts: check it out!PS) because theyre so delicious, you can expect a linePPS) TONS of vegan options. Thank you!!

Very friendly staff. Delicious sufganyot.

Super delicious bakery in San Francisco!!! We were so happy to have come across this place when we were looking for a place to have breakfast at. Very tasty pastries and much more! Also nice staff - very friendly! We had breakfast two times, both times they let us try something for no charge. It was a pleasure!!! Highly recommended 😌

We were staying at the Marriott Marquis and we got bored of the same breakfast every day, so on one morning we walked to this bakery to get some food for family. We walked into a delightful aroma of freshly baked goods, sweet and savoury. It was such a varied collection that we ended up getting way more than we needed. We loved pizza puff, chocolate pan actually everything we got there. Would love to go back and try the yogurt roll. Missed that one.

Super friendly service (lots of samples!) and truly amazing food. I loved their potato soup and falafel pita pocket, Frena style!

Got a chance to visit this restaurant while I was visiting from Oakland to Daly City. Entered with my friends and got a warm welcome from the executives. They allowed us to take time for taking rest and then placed the menu. We ate so many delicious dishes that were healthy and tasty. Really good customer service.

Israel in the middle of San Francisco

This Kosher bakery is very clean and the staff are friendly. This morning I tried the large mushroom pastry, its very delicious. The dough is soft and fresh, it has a very special favor. I know they also have different donuts, chickpea pockets, pastries, and many more that other places dont have. I need to try them all.

Really Good Stuff. I Thoroughly enjoy their pastries their donuts are out of this world Very friendly people really close to muni, I will definitely be a life long customer.😎😁🖐

Love this place. Great customer service. Such unique food love it!!

This is was a very positive surprise. Everything fresh. I had here one of the best donught ever

I like this restaurant very much. there is a different mood. The cuisine is splendid. the service is powerful and the waiters are trained. The cost is decent. I warmly recommend.

Amazing goodies. Come early because some items sell out (especially the vegan ones!)A little sad the one by my apartment in Inner Richmond has been closed for so long! Open this bad boy up so I can come through more often!

Tried this place before with a friend and I am obsessed since then. I liked the fantastic character and delicious dishes and beverages. I recommend this place.

Great selection and they care about their food! Friendly staff,patient and helpful. Try the jelly donuts -,amazing!

Fresh food. Good choice if youre looking for something healthy. Good coffee too.

Slow to respond as I stood there for a minute or two but friendly when they do! I went in for coffee and a pastry. Coffee was good but pastry was better. I would prefer prompt service and polite over slow and friendly. Morning special is a cup of coffee and pastry for $2.99 from 7 AM to 9 AM.

From savory to sweet the flavors are great, not to strong. Ive enjoyed the sweet ones. This morning I tried the large mushroom pastry. The pastry was doughy and uncooked. The mushrooms were delicious, but the uncooked pastry was a disappointment. Ill be back, I might have to try it again. Hot chocolate is delicious.

Just spent a long weekend in SF. Got notice about this place at the Chabad across the street. Excellent cafe, very authentic Israeli bakery. Highly recommend. Very tasty bagels and pastries. The cafe is exceptional for US standards, doesn’t need any additional flavor. The cream cheese bagel was just great and is highly recommend. Loved it.

I ALMOST DIED BECAUSE FRENA IGNORED THE ALLERGY ALERT!My son wanted to purchase only cheese bourekas for Shavuot. The bakery forced him to purchase a mixture of bourekas. He alerted them to my life threatening allergy from onion-scallion-chives-leeks-shallot. They assured him that theres no onion in the mixture they would deliver. There are onions in the mushroom, spinach, pizza and potato bourekas. I smelled them in the mushrooms and pizza ones and avoided eating them. But theres onion powder and very small amount of onions in the spinach bourekas. My face became blue. I finally got a hold of the administrator. She offered to reimburse me. I said that during these coronatimes, when small businesses are folding, we dont wish to detract from their income. Instead I received a $50 gift coupon. We ended up purchasing only pita bread (excellent quality!) and plain cheese bourakas. It seems like these are in high demand, so the store never have a sufficient amount of them on the shelves.

Such a great place for vegan food! And very friendly and welcoming staff. Thank you!

Pricing is reasonable, but the stuff never there to help u find an item. All are Spanish speakers in a kosher place-weird. The selection of items is good, and the best part is the premade food in the deli- nice selection and taste good!!

Its simply delicious. You should definitely try the raspberry doughnuts and the small puffs. We had breakfast here every day on our stay to San Francisco. The staff is super friendly and the bakery has a really nice atmosphere. So go there and enjoy :-D

The place has great food! I really enjoyed the Mushroom and Onion Egg in a Basket. It didnt seem very friendly at the counter though. Thats the second time. Ive only been twice.

Top notch Jewish bakery. Even better than what you get in Israel. The staff is friendly and will give you free stuff.

This little bakery on 6th and Minna has an almost intimidating array of donuts and pastries both sweet and savory. I am pretty sure they have something for just about any palate.😍😋
