Crema's Take
“The banh mi sandwiches here are legitimately exceptional—massive, perfectly toasted, and half the price of anywhere else in the Fisherman's Wharf area—making this mom-and-pop shop worth a detour even if you're just grabbing coffee. The owner clearly cares about every detail, from the Vietnamese coffee and chai to the breakfast sandwiches that rival dedicated banh mi spots, and it's one of the few places open at 6am when everything else is still closed. Come for the food, stay for the genuine, heart-poured-into-it vibe that big chains can't touch.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, good cold brew. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Only place in the area that’s open at 6am. Decent selection of quick to go breakfast food. One of the best made English muffin with sausage and egg I’ve had. The old gentleman running the place is very nice and can see that a lot of his regulars coming in early in the morning to…
This little mom and pop shop was an absolute life saver when we visited SF. All the restaurants closed early for 4th of July and the ones that were still open had lines for hours. I was impressed with how good my Bahn Mi sandwich was, considering it wasn’t authentic. 10/10…
Honestly, I love to visit places like this. It is a small shop and you can tell the owner poured their heart and soul out into it. The place has their little touches all it and it's really cute. The food was good - yes they microwaved the croissant sandwich but it's not like it…
