from Google"A nice stop if you’re walking around Embarcadero center or toward the Ferry Building. The ham and cheese croissant was delicious. The little bit of mustard inside was a really nice surprise that added extra flavor."
"Lovely bakery and staff are always kind. If you can get a sandwich, they are amazing. The loaves are delicious, and I always slice then freeze them. Slices toast up beautifully or are nice in a grilled cheese! The prices are normal for the city, and they have local art to view! Can't wait to try their beverages."
"Adorable little bakery tucked inside the Embarcadero Plaza featuring outstanding bread, lovely treats, and tasty coffee. I dropped by for a quick breakfast before work, and I was super impressed. I would probably budget a bit more time to find this space — they do a perfect good job labeling their store, but I’m just quite directionally challenged and spent way too long wandering the Plaza — but it is otherwise the perfect spot for a mid-day pick-me-up. I got their seed loaf, which was, true to its name, absolutely loaded with seeds. It had flax, pumpkin, poppy, sunflower, and I’m sure several other seeds, which made the little slice super hearty and filling. I paired this with an americano, which was lovely — the coffee wasn’t overly bright (which is my preference), although it did feel a little bit too watery / wasn’t all that fragrant. They also had a bunch of other goodies that I didn’t get a chance to try, like various danishes and croissants. I think I’ve had their baked goods at other cafes before, though — I’d recognize their almond croissant or millet muffin anywhere — and they’ve been delicious. They’re most famous for their bread, so I’ll have to come back and give it a try. There isn’t a ton of seating inside — just three small tables for 1-2 people along the front windows — but there are a few communal picnic tables right outside in the plaza if you need a place to hang out for a while."
"Beautiful baked goods; quality was just okay. Not bad, not great. Tried five items, both pastries and bread, and everything falls squarely in the middle of the pack as far as SF bakeries go (esp for the price point)."
"I've stopped here before and felt like their pastries were alright. Recently I picked up the almond croissant and it was *very* sour, much more than the past few times I've had their pastries, and more sour than any sourdough I've had in SF (having being born and raised here). They do not disclose on any of their signage that their pastries are made with sourdough. I returned to the bakery to flag it to them and asked if I could exchange it, but they insisted that they didn't change the recipe. They pushed back hard and claimed that I wouldn't like any of their other pastries, even though I've had them before. I've gotten pastries from here for my family members before and they never mentioned how sour it was, so I guess it must have been off-day? It was overall a strange and pretty uncomfortable experience. I didn't enjoy interacting with their staff, who are normally standoff-ish anyway. As another reviewer mentioned, I've also experienced long wait times here too as they sometimes only have one person on staff. I'd go to this spot every time I'm back in SF, but I won't be back."
