Yvonne's Southern Sweets
Yvonne Hines, a San Francisco native, started baking out of her home in 2003 to pay for childcare costs for her newborn daughter. Yvonne then opened Yvonne’s Southern Sweets in her beloved Bayview Hunters Point community in 2006. Since opening her store Yvonne has received awards and recognitions from Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, California State Senate, California State Assembly, San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and Mayors London Breed and Ed Lee.
We think her mouth watering Old School Butter Cookies, Miniature Lemon Pies, Sweet Potato Pies, and Pecan Pies make great gifts for the Holidays!
