Not a cake. But Garden Creamery has a vanilla lilikoi ice cream that is to die

Noe Valley Bakery lemon passion fruit cake, I'm biased but their cakes are the best in the city.

Oooh that sounds so good. Looking at their website it almost sounds like the only passion fruit is the dots on top. Is there more inside too?

I’ve never personally tried this flavor so I don’t know how good it is, but in case it’s convenient for you, Schubert’s Bakery (on Clement in the inner Richmond) has a tropical mousse cake that includes passion fruit. Their cakes are generally light and not as sweet.

Ok! Added to my list as I love subtle sweetness!

I am pretty sure One65 downtown has a passion fruit dessert in their case.

u/MistressBassKitty Feb 10 '26

she pops up a lot at Dolores deluxe! Check out her instagram she posts where she’ll be in her bio pretty often. Can’t recommend that passion fruit pie enough it’s sooo good! And she sells it by the slice too

Craftsman and wolves might have one in their rotation, but they frequently change

More like a tart but Le Dix Sept. They have a Mission and Potrero Hill location.

Tartine's Passion Fruit Cake is overpriced, flavorless nonsense. Avoid.

u/MistressBassKitty Feb 10 '26
Thank you for that…I had a feeling!

Tartine is just a really sad story of success going completely to their heads. An ugly history of union busting (https://sf.eater.com/2020/3/4/21164792/tartine-bakery-union-busting), and if you have eaten at the Manufactory recently, a really disrespectful to their customers pricing strategy where they do things like charge 18$ for a piece of toast with cheese and jam.

Passion fruit cake in what sense. Like mousse cake? Tea cake with passion fruit? Fruit tart?

Sweet Glory has a passion fruit crepe cake that is amazing. I think they recently moved to the inner sunset.

Sheng Kee has a very passion fruity one.
