Crema's Take
“The flaky, buttery croissants here—whether filled with ham and cheese or hazelnut—are the real draw, paired with competent coffee that doesn't overshadow the pastries. It's a genuine neighborhood spot with a lively vibe and both indoor and outdoor seating, perfect for a leisurely breakfast or meeting a friend, though service can be inconsistent and options for dietary restrictions are limited. If you're craving an authentic French pastry experience in Hayes Valley without pretension, this delivers.”
What to expect
Cold brew standout. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

See all on Google →Good morning This is really nice cafe. I have had breakfast sandwiches and pastries few times. I don’t really want to give 4 star but I think the service can be improved. The cashier is fine but there is busboy should have a basic understanding of customer service. Thank you.
What a great pastry shop in San Francisco! I got an iced coffee and Ham and Cheese Croissant, which was warm, flaky and delicious. I highly recommend this place for a lively atmosphere, fantastic food and coffee!

Mostly good. They could improve on Having gluten free pastries (only gluten free item is frittata) & London fog latte but came in for French toast and fruit which did not disappoint. Good service and friendly staff and quiet early morning made the overall experience enjoyable.…
