“ Food is great. Super nice staff. Nice and clean.. Patrons are great also.caters to what you order. Good communication skills You'll love the people who go there. ”
“ I ordered crossants and breakfast sandwiches for my husband's birthday and all the food was top notch! They say that you can tell a quality croissant when it is still good even eaten at room temp, and they were. The chocoloate croissant was unique with the additional citrus flavor, still buttery and flaky and comforting :) ”
“ Easy parking in front. Nice, hard working people. Excellent baked goods. Quiet seating area indoors and outdoors. Nice place to meetup for coffee, tea, and a light meal with a friend. ”
“ Solid place. I don't think I felt like it stood out to be a 5, but it's a place I would return to. The patio outside was nice, easy to get to. There was a bit of line, but it went quickly. The cashier maybe seemed a little overwhelmed, and she overcharged me for a tart that I didn't end up getting/ordering. I mentioned it to her, and she was very nice about removing it. The sweet pastries were good, can't complain. We got the almond croissant. The savory tarts looked good but didn't quite hit the spot, maybe if I had it fresh and hot it would be more enjoyable. I think it just needed more salt. However, I think it's a cute place and solid choice ”
“ I like the small local vibe of this place. It's a bit pricey for such a casual atmosphere, but maybe that's the going price in SF. (We were visiting) Service was slow, but all the people were very nice. I like that they have a variety of creamers - like oat milk - on the counter, and liquid sweeteners too(like honey). A lot of the baked goods were delicious! Everyone loved the almond croissant! It's unfortunate that the breakfast danishes didn't live up to expectations- they looked so good, but the eggs were hard and rubbery, as was the bready parts. We tried 3 different ones on two different days. Everything else we tried was good. Since it's on the hill, it's convenient, so I'm sure I'll be visiting here again the next time I am in town! ”
“ Been coming here since the early days of the pandemic. Good coffee, pastries, service & ambience! Nice outdoor seating with big umbrellas & cactus garden! Had scones this morning ... and cappuccino ...in a ceramic cup (ask for one if you are dining in!) - always a pleasure! ”
