I love cakes and I'm glad that this shop is just near town. Quality cakes for every special occasion.

Worst

This is a real find for those who love fancy cakes & Italian cookies. Everything is out-of-the-oven fresh, and the taste is out of this world.

St Honore is the best! 2/3/2009

The last of a dying breed of great Italian bakeries. You can buy anything here and it is so delicious. Their St. Honore Cake is beyond compare. It is the one thing I have to have every holiday season. more

Dianda's Italian-American Pastry~San Francisco, Mission District 11/16/2008

First time I was fortunate enough to taste the Delights of Diandas, was at My daughters' wedding,In San Franciso, Mission District, in July~~needless to say, the Wonderful Taste of the Almond Torte, blew Me away, the next day, I walked to Diandas and had them ship a torte to My girlfriend in Minden, NV.....She raved about it and I had to promise to send her another for the Holidays!~~~to add to that, I am ordering 2 tortes to send to My sister, in Montana, where I will be spending the Thanksgiving Holiday, and thus will be able to savor the Almond Torte, once again!~~~This Bakery deserves, More than A Five Star Rating!~~~I wish they had a store in Portland, Oregon, where I live! Pros: A Wide Variety of Pastries~~~Outstanding,Friendly and Effiecient Service! Cons: none more

great quality at reasonable prices 5/17/2008

This bakery is one of the best in SF (besides Victoria in North Beach.) I looove their St honore. I like it for the quality of their products, as well as their prices. Too many bakeries over charge under the pretence of being "quality" outlets. I am French, and really get frustrated seeing bakers charging an arm and a leg for cakes. This is definitely a winner. When I want a good cake at a reasonable price, I drive to Dianda's. Do yourself a favor and try it :-) more

I love it all 5/8/2008

I have never been to Dianda's and had something that I didn't like. Everything that I have tried there is amazing. I drive over there from Alameda just to fatten up on their delicious pastries. more

Out of this World Italian Bakery 12/9/2007

Dianda's is a bakery on Mission Street. Everything in the case looks amazing and tastes 100 times better than you'd imagine. The almond torte is out of this world. The prices are great, you'll pay about 1/2 of what you would expect. All the cookies are great. A great treat while shopping in San Fran. more

To Die For 11/15/2005

This is the kind of bakery dreams are made of. Now that I live in the Midwest, I can only fantasize about true Italian pastries. Try the St. Honore Cake - it's the rum that defines it - or the almond torte, fedora (rum-soaked), chocolate/cream "mushroom" puff pastry, or simple rum custard cups. If you long for an exquisitely prepared Italian pastry - and maybe even a brief moment of old-fashioned Italian mothering - drop by. Around the holidays, it's best to order cakes in advance. Pros: close to rail transit, authenticity Cons: occasonal long lines more

What is an Italian Bakery doing in the Mission? I'll tell you, making some of the best pastries and cakes in the City. Try finding a better almond ring anywhere else ... I dare you. Pros: excellent pastries, fresh, cheap Cons: a bit of a trek, parking more

Yum Yum 5/27/2004

I moved away from the Bay Area in 1999 and still miss Dianda's pastries ...especially the almond torte and pannatone. When I return to visit I make a stop to load up on goodies. The almond torte freezes well and makes as good a dessert as it does breakfast treat. Toasted pannatone with real butter is a treat anytime - breakfast, with sliced fruite (especially berries) for dessert or just a slice by itself with a cup of tea! YOW. Don't complain about this place ... it is what it is and I love it just the way it is!! Pros: good bakery goods more

Rum cakes 12/19/2002

One you try their rum cake you never be able to enjoy one from any other bakery ever again! My family has been buying rum cakes, chocolate rum cakes (mmmmmm!), and St. Honore cakes for all our special occasions, (Weddings, anniversaries, funerals, birthdays, etc.) for over 20 years, and have never been disappointed. For every occasion I contemplate going somewhere else, trying something new, but thankfully always come back to my senses! The prices are great also. I got a wedding cake for a 50th aniversary, 3 tiers, for $75.00. The staff at the mission street shop can be rather short and impatient with you, but one taste of a napoleon on the way home in the car, (so you dont eat the cake before you get there) will erase all that. more

superb cheesecake 10/25/2002

I've only tried the cheesecake from this bakery, but plan on going back to try their other cakes. The cheesecake was decorated very nicely with strawberries, a chocolate lattice, and a slight layer of whipped cream on top. The crust seemed to have a spice similar to nutmeg. A fine cake at a very affordable price. Pros: personable staff, nice variety Cons: service is sub-par more
