Black Jet Luncheonette, a new sandwich-focused concept from the team behind Black Jet Baking Co., is getting ready to open in San Francisco at 4033 Judah Street.
The company’s new concept is set to move into the former home of DamnFine Coffee, which closed in October 2025, according to SF Standard. Black Jet Luncheonette is expected to open in June 2026, pending progress on construction and permitting. Owner and operator Gillian Shaw Lundgren runs the business alongside general manager and baker Max Newman. Customers can expect a menu that expands beyond the original bakery’s offerings, including made-to-order sandwiches alongside a lineup of baked goods.
Black Jet Baking Co. currently operates its original bakery in the Bernal Heights neighborhood at 833 Cortland Avenue. The new Outer Sunset location will mark the company’s second storefront and its first expansion since the bakery opened its Cortland Avenue shop. Lundgren founded Black Jet as a wholesale bakery in 2010, initially supplying cookies and handmade pop tarts to coffee shops and offices across San Francisco. Over time, the business grew to include local grocery stores, catering companies, and restaurants.
The Luncheonette concept will allow the team to explore new menu formats that were not possible at the original location. Lundgren reunited with Newman in 2017 when the Cortland Avenue bakery opened, after the two had previously worked together at Liberty Café. Newman later spent time cooking in several well-known San Francisco kitchens, including Zuni Café and Marla, bringing additional culinary experience to the bakery’s evolving menu.
The sandwich menu at Black Jet Luncheonette is expected to feature about four rotating options each day. Early plans include chicken salad sandwiches and meatball grinders. The breads will be made in-house and could include focaccia, baguettes, and Dutch crunch, paired with fillings prepared by the bakery team.
In addition to sandwiches, the new location will continue serving many items customers already know from the original bakery. These include croissants, danishes, blackberry scones, pies, housemade pop tarts, and cakes. The menu may also feature breakfast sandwiches on bulkie rolls with egg and American cheese, large slices of seasonal cake, and pan pizza described as a style somewhere between Detroit and Sicilian.
