Craftsman and Wolves
746 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“Craftsman and Wolves is a beloved neighborhood fixture where serious espresso drinks meet exceptional pastries, with a warm staff that makes every visit feel like coming home. The Rebel (their signature drink) and house-made pastries like the Choux-noli keep regulars coming back over decades, and the welcoming vibe makes it equally great for a solo coffee moment or meeting a friend. Fair warning: the quality can be inconsistent on pastries, and it's worth noting their indoor seating has had some health code concerns worth asking about.”

Multiple non-service dogs in the indoor seating area. This is a violation of California health code. That aside, I like the Choux-noli. Sandwich is less great. Too much vinegar for my taste.
Came in and got the rebel, chocolate croissant, and the pb&j cookie. Everything was delicious! The coffees were very good and the place was welcoming and clean!
The best coffee, pastries and vibes in town. The staff is always warm and courteous. And they always do their best to make your experience lovely. Appreciated by the neighborhood for a reason! 😁
The worst bakery in town I guest. every thing taste like over night. The chocolate croissant is nasty, cold and sticky but hard, the inside filling of the chocolate is not fresh and hard like a rock! Like chewing Chocolate chips, it is totally separate from the croissant. The Kouign Amann here is a joke. Trader Joe's puff pastry work better then it. It is cold and hard and not crispy at all, greasy, oily but tasteless. Like using so what cheap or fake butter. They are famous for the egg muffin but it is out...but base on other bread quality, i doubt it will be good... Will never come back.
Been a fan for over a decade and their quality and standards are still top notch. Delicious pastries, plates, coffee and drinks. I can't recommend this place enough, and the Rebel Within with the soft boiled egg is still a game-changer to this day. I'm shocked no other bakery or cafe has tried their own version.
