Crema's Take

“Arsicault's croissants are legitimately worth the wait—laminated to architectural perfection with a shatter-and-butter experience that justifies the SF pricing. The chocolate almond croissant and kouign amann are the standouts, though their chocolate chip cookie has converted devoted fans from other SF bakeries. Go early on weekends, grab a pastry, and either enjoy it at one of their small tables or take it with you.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Parking available.

Delicious pastries! The chocolate croissant was generously filled and wonderfully tender on the inside. The kouign amann was incredible- beautifully laminated with the perfect, caramelized top. The morning bun was nothing special, but it’s tough to follow up a kouign amann that…
