Lauren Arnsdorff and Walter Carrera are moving Flour & Branch to South Park, and in the process turning their upscale bakery into something it has never been: an all-day restaurant.

The new address is 155A South Park St., the former Velvet Raven space on the leafy oval tucked between Second and Third in the stretch of SoMa that long served as the city's tech corridor. The operators' own website confirms the address and lists the pivot — supper service, a tucked-away courtyard chef's table, outdoor seating, non-alcoholic aperitifs, and full weekend hours. Tablehopper first flagged the move in late May; the SF Standard followed, both reporting a target opening that has since slipped to late June.

It's a notable step up for a business that started small. Arnsdorff and Carrera launched Flour & Branch online on Election Day 2020 — when the city's restaurant economy was in free fall — and joined the Goldbelly shipping roster within months, per the bakery's own account. The brick-and-mortar at 493 Third St. opened in December 2021, building a following on showy pastry: stuffed French toast and "brookies," a brownie-cookie hybrid topped with crepe crumble. Along the way it picked up notice from the Food Network and Forbes. That Third Street location no longer operates — according to the SF Standard, the pair left after severe flooding and building failure, which gives the South Park relocation its urgency. They aren't running two rooms at once; they're rebuilding.

The new space lets them do more than sell over a counter. Brunch and supper are the headline change. According to the SF Standard — the only outlet to detail the menu so far — the team plans a dim sum-style dessert cart of doughnuts, truffles, and canelés circling the dining room every hour, plus supper-hour "performances" built around melted cheese wheels.

The move is still a bet on the neighborhood. South Park has cycled through a lot in the past few years, its lunch crowds thinned by remote work and slow to return. Forced out of one address, Arnsdorff and Carrera could have rebuilt as the grab-and-go counter they already knew worked. Instead they're committing to tables, two services, and a kitchen running all day — wagering the neighborhood is ready for more than a counter.
