Ariscault is definitely the place that started my croissant obsession! This place will always be #1 in my dream. I have had Arisicault multiple times and am one of their biggest fans. I love this location in particular because it is not as busy as the other spots, but the quality does not compromise. There is no seating in this location in the cafe (it's on the smaller side), but there is seating around the area where you can enjoy the views of Oracle Park. My favorite croissant here is the Blackberry Hazelnut; it is the most superior pastry I have ever had. It is sweet, nutty, and perfectly flaky and fluffy. It's perfect with a morning coffee and worth every calorie. Besides the Blackberry croissant, the Kouign-amann is nice and buttery, while being light, and their Almond croissant has a deliciously creamy almond paste. 10/10, chef's kiss! read more

The Arsicault Bakery empire just keeps growing and growing in the city of San Francisco thanks to their newest and perhaps best location in the city. Located Dr. Maya Angelou Way and Bridgeview Way in a sparkling new development known as Mission Rock, a series of new skyscrapers that the San Francisco Giants baseball team put a lot of investment in, this is Arsicault Bakery's third location in the city. Ten years ago Arsicault Bakery was declared the best new bakery in the country and they have leaned into that bold announcement by creating arguably the best buttery croissants in the Bay Area. Their continued growth and success is no doubt thanks to the ambitions of founder and CEO Armando Lacayo, who moved to the U.S. over a decade and a half ago for a career in finance before launching Arsicault, named after his great-grandparents who owned a bakery in France 100 years ago, with his first tiny bakery that still has long lines along Arguello Boulevard. It's the buttery flakey croissants along with other curated French inspired pastries that have people coming back for more. A friend one brought me their signature croissants one time and I have been hooked ever since, with their Civic Center location being easily accessible, as it is mere steps from the BART Station. With this third location, with a view of Oracle Park, I knew a visit was in order as soon as they opened. Getting there without public transportation can be a challenge, as the one day I was driving in the city on a weekend, parking near this location was scarce but not impossible, as there were spots along Terry A. Francois Boulevard. The line, even on a Sunday afternoon, was long, but moved smoothly as I was inside their café within ten minutes. Since this location of Arsicault Bakery is so busy, they smartly have a sandwich board outside of their café of all the pastries and baguette sandwiches they have for sale on any given day, their coffee menu is featured inside their café, plus they sell additional hot items, including custom-made quiches. In order to get their line through in an orderly way, time is of the essence, and customers have to make some hard decisions rather fast. I knew I wanted a croissant, but I wasn't sure which of the two remaining that they have in stock that I wanted to order. Since their Ham & Cheese Croissant was plentiful, I decided to order that, even though at $7.25 it is a full $2.25 more expensive than their signature croissant, and for good reason, with the savory ham and cheese addition, I could not wait to tore into it, upon being presented with it and it was still piping hot and still so buttery, easily the best croissant I have enjoyed in quite some time! Of course, I had to get some sweet treats as well, and their both their traditional Chocolate Chip Cookie and their glazed Apple Turnover were calling my name, so I ordered those as well, in addition to a Mocha coffee, of which I decided to splurge with an order of oat milk as well, of which I would only learn later that here they do charge an extra dollar for, which is unfortunate for all of us with lactose issues. And since the wait was so long, I decided to order a sandwich for the first time visiting Arsicault Bakery, and their simplest one, their Parisian Baguette Sandwich which had ham, butter and sea salt seemed like the perfect order for me. They have the perfect system here at Arsicault Bakery, as all of your pastries are ordered at your glass counter, placed in a paper bag ready to be rung up at the cashier, then you order your beverages and sandwiches with the cashier, who marks your order with a post-it note. They got me again when they asked if I wanted cheese on the sandwich, which of course I ordered, and it would be an additional two dollars from comte cheese. It would take bout an additional ten minutes for my sandwich order to be ready, and thankfully my handcrafted coffee was ready to go much sooner. My total bill was $42.75 before gratuity was added in, which is definitely on the higher sides of food purchases for me even in the city, but it was for quality pastries and one truly amazing coffee drink, plus the Parisian Baguette Sandwich, which when I received it, I was truly unimpressed but when I took it home to eat, it was so flavorful without much pizzazz that I felt I was feasting on the lawn outside of the Eiffel Tower in Paris enjoying myself in my own French meal! Here's to Arsicault Bakery's continued success, with an additional location coming to the Peninsula later this year, may it be only a matter of time that their next location in my own backyard! read more

Don't be deterred if you see a long line out the door when you arrive. It's there for a reason (because this place is delicious) and it moves quickly! Their croissants are incredible (I got the chocolate croissant, which was perfectly flaky and buttery and they were very generous with the chocolate filling), as well as their sourdough bread loaves (better than the highly acclaimed Boudin, in my opinion). Their coffee selection is limited, so head next door to Blue Bottle if you want more specialty coffee options (think in terms of syrup variety). The place is cute inside and the service is solid, but seating options are limited. read more

I love love Arsicault and this Mission Bay location is even closer to me which makes it so tempting to grab a croissant anytime I walk past. My favorite is the og butter croissant, so light and buttery without feeling too heavy that you can't eat a whole croissant yourself. Be careful, it's super flaky so will make a mess while you eat. The chocolate is my second fav and what I get when I want to be indulgent but the blackberry hazelnut croissant is such a specialty here and really what I recommend everyone to try. Such a SF staple and worth the wait! read more

Fast service bakery and one of my SF favorites! Staff are very kind and efficient in packing and serving food. 5/5 - Kouign Amman - My personal favorite pastry at this bakery. The flavor and texture profile are both perfectly mastered. The sweetness is not overwhelming and is balanced through every bite. The pastry is flaky but not too messy, and I would highly recommend trying this on your visit! 4.5/5 - Chocolate Chip Cookie - This pastry can be a bit hit or miss depending on the batch, however, I thought the one I had this time was well-baked! The outside edges had a great crunch to chewiness ratio, and the inside was warm and chewy. The chocolate is also sweet but not overwhelming. read more

The croissants are the best!!! You even smell the butter and flaky goodness from outside the bakery! The ham and cheese croissant is pretty big and so so good. The almond croissant is tasty too with a bit of almond paste filling inside and loads of powdered sugar on the outside. The amount of flaky layers outside and soft fresh layers inside make it worth it to wait in line. But don't let the line scare you, it goes quick. When you walk in a serve asks to take your order so they can prep and bag them before paying. I bought 4 croissants (plain, almond, ham & cheese and blackberry) for $25. read more

Arsicault Bakery has exceptional coffee and fresh creative pastries and bread. I found this middle gem in the Mission Rock neighborhood across from Oracle San Francisco Giants stadium while walking from Golden State Warriors Chase Center. Honestly, don't think I would have known about this very sleek, clean and efficient Cafe nestled near the Visa building which I can still remember was a vacant parking lot for Giants games. The staff was very helpful at this quick counter service with both sweet & savory selection. I choose the cranberry scone and ordered a cappuccino. My order was ready fast even before I was able to take photos the interior & exterior. Nice! My cappuccino was warm, foaming and very delicious. Excellent! The scones was still warm from the oven. Flaky, filled with many cranberries and very satisfying (I am usually not a dry scone expert yet loved this semi-sweet offering. So if you are ever near Mission Rock across from the Giants stadium popped in and enjoy enjoying your treat on an outside Cafe table "Arsicault Bakery is a renowned French bakery in San Francisco, founded by Armando Lacayo and named after his great-grandparents, who operated a bakery in France over a century ago.

Ambiance: A very well lit bakery with some limited seating outdoors and a high top counter on the inner wall to stand. The bakery is filled with good displays of the pastries with ability to see into the back as well. Wait time: Notoriously an extremely crowded place which proved to be true when going. You can expect a line of 20-30 people to get in and order, but the line does move quickly. Service: The staff are extremely nice and friendly with good knowledge on baked goods. Food: These are probably some of the best croissants I have had in the Bay Area. The bread is extremely flaky and light with the taste of freshness. Both the chocolate and almond croissants fillings were flavorful and not skimpy on the filling. The Kouign Amann was also just as good but the croissants are another level of perfection. Coffee was very okay and I was not impressed with the flavor of the Mocha I got and didn't really taste the mocha at all. Would definitely skip the coffee and just get the baked goods instead trying a local coffee shop instead. read more

The croissants are huge! Waited in a long line out the door but it was quick about a 20 min wait. Tried the ham & cheese croissant which was super buttery, huge, cheesy, warm, and delicious. The chocolate almond croissant was also so good, so much powder sugar, so fresh and warm, such huge amounts of almond paste inside and the chocolate is so rich. The morning bun tasted like a Cinnamon Toast Crunch in a bun! read more

Everyone loved theirs! Highly recommend! read more

I walked into this initially inviting bakery, came late to the party, there were only 4 food items to choose from. Chose a tasty Almond Croissant along with an Americano Iced Coffee. Fast efficient service, limited seating, take your order towards the bay edge and enjoy your break with this baked good. Setting of bakery is more like a convenience store. Order and go, no real ambiance. read more

Arsicault Bakery - Almond Croissant Americano Ice Coffee - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

There is a French bakery which is known to have the best pastries in San Francisco. This particular pastry is the croissant. To me it's been the best croissant in San Francisco and the best I ever had in the USA. This bakery opened another location in San Francisco. It is located in Mission Bay ( Not the Bay) in the city and county of San Francisco. I wanted to investigate if it keeps it consistent across all the different locations across the city. The place is called Arsicault. On a Winter stroll in the Mission Bay neighborhood in the city of San Francisco walking on the path between Channel street and Dr. Maya Angelou ( my fellow Mission High School in SF alumnus) Lane. I landed at the Arsicault located on Bridgeway street. Inside is a ready to browse and order layout. I had to try their croissant and it was flakey like ones around in SF. It was buttery and soft. It was as if I had the same flakey ones in SF at the Arguello and Civic Center Arsicault locations. I also had their ham and cheese croissant which was delicious not too cheesy but also flakey. Overall consistent like all the different Arsicault locations around San Francisco. Now I am still waiting for the Arsicault at 88 Spear street location to open up so I can inspect the flakes in SF. People visit Arsicault by car , scooter, boat, bus, and "train" and some travel across the country by "plane" and some walk in the thunder and "rain" to try the best croissant in San Francisco which is "top grain " Arsicault is a French bakery they "make" the best croissants in the USA which they freshly "home bake" and they transform your taste buds to become wide "awake"with the buttery flavor and what only remains after you eat it in SF is breadcrumbs and "flake" read more

Typically when places expand to new locations, you'll notice a drop in quality. That was not the case here. The freshly baked ham & cheese croissant had amazing lamination and the chocolate almond croissant had a great balance of pastry to filling. Coming to this location, you're also blessed with a much shorter line (~15 mins on a Sunday @ noon) with friendly staff that keep the operation moving. Flaky pastries, beautiful space, and highly recommended. read more

First of all, parking is a B!tch as anywhere in the city not surprised but just a heads up. Make sure to have a driver and drop you off and pick you up quick lol. We were on a best pastry hunt and got there 30 minutes before they closed at 3pm. Disclosure, I'm normally not a chocolate chip cookie fan, but this was thin, crunchy and chocolatey magic that I wanted one for myself but it was the last one thank goodness I got it. I basically got whatever was left over which was the croissant w/ chocolate filling which was super crunchy, flaky, tasty and oh so buttery wow!!! The Butter french bread with ham and cheese was also amazing and the latte was great too. The quality was on point and definitely not cheap. The space vibe was busy, clean and fast. read more

Delicious bakery! The line looked very daunting, but it moved quickly and only took about 15 minutes. We ordered two vanilla lattes, one chocolate croissant, and one almond blackberry hazelnut croissant. The lattes were very tasty, and honestly, the chocolate croissant was my favorite. The other one had more going on and more filling inside, but it was crunchier than I expected and didn't taste how I imagine a croissant should. The chocolate croissant absolutely melted in my mouth -- comparable to croissants in Paris! I imagine the plain croissant would be similar. I don't want too much crunch -- I just want it to be flaky, buttery, and melt in my mouth. read more

Not pictured: the morning bun. Holy smokes. This review and these 5 stars are solely being credited to the fricken morning bun. I can't believe I worked on the opposite side of this building for 8 months and I never stepped foot into this business. It was a packed Saturday morning but the line went by quickly. Service was efficient and the workers were nice. Smells of BUTTERY GOODNESS. One bite into the morning bun and I immediately regretted not getting a whole dozen. I will dream of this morning bun until I get another. I also got an apple turnover which was good too but not as heavenly as the morning bun was. Will be back very soon.... read more

One of the best bakeries in the city! Their croissants are super tender and crispy and the flavors are all on point. My favorite is usually the chocolate croissant just a perfect blend of pastry and chocolate. We have also tried their almond croissants, plain, and the kouign amman, all super delicious fluffy and rich and really flaky. When you enter you order first at the staff person by the pastry window area. Once they take your order you walk over to the register and pay. At that time they also take your coffee orders and make them. I typically go for their drip coffee, which isn't anything special but I like a plain coffee to go with their extraordinary pastries. There isn't any seating inside besides a standing area with a kind of slab for you to put down your food on. There's also restrooms inside and an area for you to put cream and sugars and grab water as well. They have a little bit of seating outside with some small tables. This place can get quite crowded! So be prepared to wait a little bit for their excellent pastries! read more

BELIEVE THE HYPE. You're missing out until you've tried these list-charting pastries. They're most well-known for their chocolate almond croissant (which is as flavorful as it is dense, and well-worth splitting with a friend or two), but I personally loved the orange zest monkey bread best. It was glazy and crunchy in all the right spots while warm and cinnamon-y everywhere else. Now. Be prepared for a wait. We got there early and still waited about 30 minutes, but on the bright side some warm brioche had just come out of the oven. We ordered lattes and they got them out quickly, which was great. Plenty of seating outside along the street made it a perfect morning bite. read more

Was showing some friends around the city and had to take them to Arsicault! Found street parking about 5 min walk away. There was a big line on Sunday afternoon around 11am but it was moving fast so only waited about 10-15 minutes. We ordered the Chocolate Almond Croissant, Blackberry Almond Hazelnut Croissant, and the Orange Cardamom Monkey Bread. Limited indoor seating so we ended up eating elsewhere. Favorite croissants ever!! The chocolate almond and blackberry almond were both amazing. The bitterness of the chocolate balanced the sweetness of the almond nicely. Blackberry croissant is sweeter than the chocolate almond, and the blackberry jam tasted very fresh. Orange Cardamom Monkey Bread (3.5/5): Nice crispy exterior with soft interior. Would have liked for more orange cardamom flavor - orange was very subtle and we didn't taste any cardamom Overall, delicious pastries, big portion sizes, and reasonable prices. I've tried many other Arsicault pastries and the almond flavored croissants are consistently my favorites - highly recommend them. Friends all enjoyed their Arsicault experience, I will definitely be back! read more

Hands down the best french pastries I've ever eaten. Period!! The line can seem intimidating, but it moves quite fast. It took about 15 minutes for me to get to the front on a Saturday at 10 AM. Staff are very quick and efficient to take your order which helps! I most recently had their blackberry hazelnut croissant, and I fell in love with the fruity and nutty flavors! Everything is so rich and buttery, and the lamination was just perfect. I've had their almond chocolate croissant as well, which was just as delicious. My boyfriend loves getting the kouign amann, which is also fantastic. It's balanced between crispy, buttery, and sweet! Usually the pastries are fresh and toasty when you get them too, which makes them that much better. read more

We've been meaning to come to Ariscault for a while, and it definitely lives up to the hype. Location is easy to find, but parking can be difficult. The surrounding area is quiet, with plenty of places to sit and enjoy pastries outdoors. We came at ~ 10 am on a Sunday. Line looks long (and down the street) but goes fast. We waited no longer than 15 min. We practically got 1 of everything (of our favorite pastries). All were warm, flakey, and fresh. Even having our leftovers ~ a few hours later, and still tastes delicious. Which to me, says a lot. Staff is prompt, but personable and kind. Would come back if I was in the area again, or make the day trip just to get these honestly - well worth the trip!! read more

Arsicault Bakery - Outside - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

I had read about Arsicault in multiple foodie blogs and newsletters and had heard about the deliciousness of their pastries from many people. Unfortunately, I don't live in the city and when I head up there, it's usually in the evening much after this place is closed. I am also not going to go to the city just to visit a place that has a 30 minute wait (more on this point in the next paragraph). Therefore I just filed Arsicault under "places to try" with no real plan of visiting. However, one day one of my dear clients who works up at UCSF decided to pick up some croissants for me and I finally got the opportunity to try them. Before I get into my review, I need to lay out a couple points. I LOVE croissants. While I don't consider myself a croissant connoisseur (mainly because I haven't learned how to make a croissant and I think that's key to being a connoisseur on anything), I have very high standards for them. There are also VERY few places in the country, no less the bay area, where I will wait in line for 30 minutes for any type of food and have it be worth it. The Midwife and the Baker (also with a notable reputation for croissants in the Bay Area) that is close to my apartment has a 30 minute wait for their croissants on the weekends and while they are my favorite in the South Bay, I would not stand in that line. My amazing client gave me a variety with plain, almond, and blackberry. I have NEVER had such delicious croissants in my life. I almost fell to the floor by how good they tasted. I almost felt guilty that I didn't actually wait in line to get these croissants. If it weren't for my client, I would have probably not visited Arsicault for a while before giving them a try. This place is DEFINITELY worth at least a 30 minute wait and I don't think I've made that statement about ANY place up until now. From what I heard, Butter and Crumble has an even longer line and I honestly don't know how another place in SF could serve better croissants than Ariscault. This place is definitely my pick for serving up the best pastries in the Bay Area! read more

I love Arsicault and had a massive craving for their croissants. During the holiday break, I decided to make a trip to the city for some croissants. I've never been to this location, but decided to check it out. Parking is definitely hard to find in the area, but I was able to find one a few blocks away. I arrived around 10 AM and the line wasn't too bad. I decided to get my go-to's: regular croissant, almond croissant, chocolate almond croissant. I saw that this location had the blackberry almond croissant, so I got that as well. This was actually pretty good and it wasn't that sweet. Like the Arguello location, the croissants were delicious and well worth the drive and wait. read more

Tried the famous kouign-amann and the almond croissant -- both were delicious but the kouign-aman is what I'd come back for! Kouign-aman was flaky, buttery, moist but not gummy, and the outside was both crunchy and crispy with a heavenly toffee-like flavor from the caramelized sugar. It was also the perfect amount of sweetness for me since the only the outside was sweet -- I could've easily eaten the whole thing without feeling too gluttonous! ;) Almond croissant was a bit too sweet for my taste. There was plenty of the almond frangipane filling inside, but I wished it had a stronger almond extract flavor. I also wished they topped it with sliced almonds for that extra nuttiness and crunch. The croissant texture itself was amazing as expected though. This location was nice since it's near the channel in Mission Bay. The inside had plentiful standing-only counter tables, and outside had a few unshaded patio tables and chairs. There was no wait on a late Monday morning. I would definitely come back to try other pastries, but I have a feeling I will always go back to my first love, the kouign-amann. read more

Delicious! If you order 12 or more items, you can call ahead to pre-order which is a nice option. That said, this location wasn't super busy on a Sunday morning so you may be able to walk in without much of a wait. It was raining when I went though so perhaps less of a crowd. We tried four types of croissants and they are HUGE! The plain croissant was very buttery and flaky, and a great way to appreciate the texture and classic flavor. I really enjoyed the almond croissant, though it was a bit on the sweet side. The chocolate almond croissant was also good. The chocolate croissant could have used a little more chocolate, but I appreciated that it was not overly sweet. Overall, excellent croissants in the city! Would love to come back and try more of their pastries. read more

The ham and cheese croissant is handsdown the best thing. It's just so perfectly balanced and the saltiness from the ham brings out the butter flavor from the croissant even more. Staff are so friendly and even if the line looks like it's going on for half the block it goes by quickly. You can choose to eat there and there are some small tables or most people take their pastries to go. Coffee is good as well, I recommend the cappuccino. read more

Parking: This location is definitely hard to park. Some people parked close to the shop but had 1person waiting in the car while other person went to get the baked goods. There are signs for no parking and towing. Just heads up. Its probably fine if you have another person with you. Got here around 9am on a weekend and there's a line but moves fairly quickly. I got almond croissant, chocolate, ham and cheese, savory scone, apple turnover, and mushroom and onion Quiche. Havent had their apple turnover and that was really good as well. I would probably skip the mushroom and onion Quiche next time because it was too buttery for me and I prefer sweet than savory anyway so. You really cant go wrong with any of their pastries. Will try few others next time that I haven't try before. read more

I have always been a fan of good croissants. After getting constant recommendations from a bunch of trusted friends, I decided to give this bakery a shot. I was there at 8:30am on a Saturday morning. There was line but it moved pretty quickly. I got the chocolate croissant. They didn't have a lot of indoor seating, however, there is plenty of outdoor seating around the block with good views too! The croissant itself is huge. Probably enough for two people. The croissant was perfectly baked with all the flaky layers. The inside was moist and the chocolate was yummy! It was a nice surprise overall. The croissant itself isn't overly eggy and I love it that way. I'm planning to try the almond chocolate croissant next time. I observed a bunch of people get the same and they had good feedback. Overall, if you are in the area, you have to check out this place! read more
