Cute Cafe with Delicious Brunch
This is a super cute little cafe that offers amazing brunch items. The outside seating area is kept clean, but the frequent homeless folks may be a bother at times. Indoors seating is comfortable and filled with light.
Staff are super friendly and make sure to prepare your order per your request. There is a big kitchen in the back and food is freshly made daily.

Great Food, Quick Service
My experience at this restaurant was great. I usually get the chicken pesto baguette, which is hella good. The service was quick and polite.
It seems like a place for techies to hang out, so I doubt I'll ever pop a squat, but it is nice in there.

Disappointing Croissants, Lost Faith
I've lost faith in their products. Earlier this week, I purchased croissants from them. Upon opening one, I saw that the classic laminated layers of butter and dough weren't there.
Instead, it was just like a load of bread. I can't speak to the competence of their bakers, but their baked goods don't reflect well upon them. The food quality was disappointing, with the croissants lacking the expected texture and layers.
While I didn't experience the service or atmosphere directly in this instance, the poor quality of the baked goods has significantly impacted my overall perception.

Disappointing Croissant, Misleading Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. They charged $8 for a chocolate croissant that tasted like it was from Starbucks and was likely factory-made. The store's name and atmosphere felt like a lie, though I suppose that's understandable given our proximity to the Castro.

Top-notch team and community welcome
My experience at this restaurant was exceptional, thanks to Jose and his team. They are top-notch and truly great members of the community. They made me feel so welcome to the neighborhood.
The atmosphere was rated a 5, the service was a 5, and the food was also a 5. The noise level was quiet, easy to talk, and it's suitable for all group sizes. The price per person is $100+.

Delicious Lemon Pound Cake & Good Latte
My experience involved trying a lemon pound cake and an iced vanilla bean latte. The selection of pastries and sweets was extensive. I found the lemon pound cake to be delicious and perfectly dense.
The iced vanilla latte was a bit milkier than I prefer, but the sweetness was just right.

Excellent Food, Coffee, and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food was great, and they also serve excellent coffee. What truly stood out, however, was the service.
The staff seemed genuinely happy and enjoyed their jobs. A new employee named Jacob provided above and beyond attentive service. My coffee and food were just perfect 👌🏽.

Delicious Pastries, Great Coffee, Terrible WiFi
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. I found the pastries to be delicious and the coffee to be really good. The atmosphere and service both received a perfect score of 5.
However, the internet was very, very slow, which significantly impacted my ability to do any work. This is compounded by the fact that the location is in a cell dark zone, making reliable WiFi essential. Due to the slow internet, I've rated it 3 stars.

Good pastries, but too cold
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. On the positive side, the pastries and espressos were good. However, the atmosphere was quite cold in the morning because they refuse to close the front door.
This made the experience very uncomfortable, leading me to save visits for the summer only.

Good food, nice atmosphere, decent price
My experience at this restaurant was positive. The atmosphere was quiet and pleasant, rated a 5. They offer many options to eat, and I chose a build-your-own dish and an ice mocha.
The food was good, though not extravagant, and the mocha was good. I paid $30 for these two items, which falls within the $20-$30 price range per person. Vegetarians are somewhat recommended here.
