Crema's Take
“The baklava here is obsession-worthy—reviewers consistently call it the best in San Francisco, with perfectly crisp, flaky layers that somehow stay delicate and melt-in-your-mouth soft, and the mom-and-son owners will generously comp you extras just because they're genuinely passionate about their craft. Beyond the pastries, they pull traditional espresso drinks that pair beautifully with their homemade baklava, and the whole vibe is unhurried and family-friendly, making it worth a detour even if you're not usually a pastry person.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Slow-sit spot. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.
