Haddon Hill Cafe

This bakery is a little off the beaten path, so I forget about it sometimes, but they have some of the best pastries in the Bay Area. I stopped by today and had a mushroom croissant that was absolutely delicious. First time seeing this one, but I hadn’t been in quite a while. A little pricey at $7.50, but the size is generous. Highly recommend.

Decided to give this place a try after I finished doing my laundry next door. The older man working the cash register was lovely. The barista with the nose ring was rude & not welcoming at all!. It was clearly my first time there and when I asked if they had any sugar for my coffee, she rolled her eyes and handed me a bottle that looked like it was either honey or syrup. She handed it to me with attitude as if I should've known that was the sugar. I was expecting either sugar packets or some type of sugar grains, not liquid. The cute old man saw me all confused & clarified that was their sugar, that they had diluted it. Perhaps she was having a bad morning but her attitude needs to change. She's scaring customers away.

Low key, small coffee shop with a small selection of pastries. The pastries are quite nice, the coffee is adequate. Both indoor and outdoor seating available.

I have fallen head over heels for these pastries so consider this my love letter. I tried the almond croissant, khachapuri, morning bun, and the chocolate cookies and everything is so incredible. You can taste that they’ve been made within just hours of you eating them. Staff is really friendly, lots of dogs to pet, and had some enjoyable interactions with customers. Lovely lovely lovely.

This coffeehouse with its nondescript storefront is a local favorite with people lined up from the time it opens. My place for coffee while waiting for my laundry two doors down. Features amazing baked goods from the pizza place on the next block (same owners, I think), including morning buns, sourdough cheese rolls, and a delicious Khachapuri (Georgian cheese bread with spices and a runny egg on top).
