Sometimes hard to sit because it's so popular and packed- but that means it's that good! I love the unique spin to the pastries, some savory even! My two personal favorite items are the oatmeal cookie and the breakfast bowl! Both make me feel healthy but I'm also indulging in my sweet tooth a bit. :) they have homemade dog treats sometimes too so my dog even loves going with me. No wifi but ambiance is ok for working if it's not packed. read more

I stopped by Craftsman and Wolves and finally tried a couple of their popular items, and honestly, both were delicious. I ordered The Rebel Within, which absolutely lived up to the hype. The savory flavors were spot on, the texture was great, and the soft egg center was so satisfying. I do wish I had heated it up because I can only imagine how much better the experience would've been warm, but even as is, it was still really good. I also tried the Banana Travel Cake, and that was another win. Moist, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweetness, it felt indulgent without being overly heavy. Perfect with coffee or as a treat to take on the go. Overall, Craftsman and Wolves definitely delivered. Both items were delicious, and I'd happily come back, especially to enjoy The Rebel Within fresh and warm next time. read more

So chic!!! Loved their assortment of desserts, cute benches and layout of the cafe. We got a bunch of little items to share, coffee and tea. Although seating isn't the most spacious we found a spot to enjoy our treats. Walk to the counter to order and pick up. I will say the little "stone" cake we got was full of complex flavors and appealing to the eye. It was so pretty I almost didn't want to bite into it. I will note that it is pricey but it's obvious there's a lot of effort put into each dessert. Cute spot to walk into, fun neighborhood surprise. read more

Came by 5 minutes before they were closing at 4pm and purchased two small cakes from their display case. The cakes are beautiful and delicious, although for $16 each, I would say they are definitely on the expensive side. It was a nice little splurge once in awhile. read more

Everything I have tried here has been excellent!: - Mortadella Havarti Croissant Sandwich: This really hits the spot. - Apple Hibiscus Kouign Amman: You can't go wrong with a kouign amman. - Triple Chocolate Croissant: I will never have a plain chocolate croissant again knowing that this exists. - Rebel Within: I don't know how they get a perfectly soft-boiled egg inside of this savory muffin. It is heavy, so this will fill you up for breakfast or lunch. It's good, but I prefer their other pastries. - Pill-shaped mousse cake: I tried this a few years ago but forgot to mention it in my last review. They no longer sell it, but have similar desserts in different shapes. It was absolutely gorgeous and tasty, but I prefer my desserts to be on the heavier side. Every time I have come, there has been a good amount of people in the morning without being crowded. Ample seating at the small tables and communal table. Complimentary cold water and cups in the front. Quick and friendly service. Don't miss out on this place! I keep accidentally walking past it because it has a marrow store front. So if you're like me, know that it is located next door to Dandelion Chocolate. read more

The concept of having a whole egg inside a muffin is crazy, especially because the egg is still oozy and runny! Perfect if you're craving something savory and like eggs. The only disadvantage is that its on the expensive side ($9.50) for one! Something worth trying at least once though. There's a wide assortment of other pastry items include muffins, cookies, kouign amann, croissants and mini (personal) cakes. read more

Since I knew I was going to have back to back meetings today I decided to pick up a few treats to keep me motivated. On the menu today was Rebel Within, croissant pudding and Egan's Addiction. Pro Tip - Order for pick up! I placed the order using DD and was literally in and out. So if you feel that sometimes it's just too people-y outside order pick up. First was the Rebel Within - I've gotten this before eating in and I remembered it being so much better. Eating in - the savory muffin is warm and the soft boiled egg inside oozes. It's definitely a nom nom. But trying it at home doesn't have the same effect. Maybe have warm up instructions at home? So that was pretty lackluster. Definitely better warm than semi cold - eh On to the Croissant Pudding - warm or cold this one hits! Something about that caramel that has you craving more. Probably the best caramel I've ever had, might be the pinch of salt in there? Not sure, but I do know one thing for sure -- that's not for sharing, that's all for me lol. Last in the menu was Egan's Addiction - not sure who Egan is, but I see why they were addicted - I too love blackberries (ommm nom nom nom nom). Not too sweet and the perfect bite every time. After eating the goodness there was this crust on the bottom I didn't even notice - lucky me another treat to eat! Nom nom nom. If I had to do it all over again I'd probably skip the rebel and stick to the sweet stuff. Nonetheless, satisfied my treat craving! Strong 3.5 -- Until next time! read more

This is the place for fancy beautiful desserts and pastries. Everything is top of the line and fresh. I come here every time I'm in the Mission.

I was looking for a cafe for lunch and decided to try this place because I liked that they use ceramic plates and cups when you dine in. I ordered the following: Croissant Sando with smoked ham, Swiss cheese, and honey mustard aioli - The best part about this is the croissant and the aioli. The croissant had the perfect amount of flakiness and held its shape throughout the meal. The aioli, which tasted like a creamy honey mustard, packs a punch without being overwhelming. Chai Latte - This was delicious because I could really taste the spices. Generally, the most disappointing chai lattes I have had tend to be bland. I liked this drink in spite of the fact that I requested oat milk, which usually makes drinks less tasty. I believe they said they use Califia oat milk, so it's possible that that's one of the better oat milk brands. I heard they let you bring your own clean cup (BYOC), which I'll keep in mind if I ever want my drink to-go. Overall, the food tasted great here, and I appreciate that the cashier was patient enough to explain the difference between tea au lait and a chai latte to me. Their reusable foodware situation is pretty good (see Eco Notes below), though I wish they provided reusable utensils to reduce waste. ECO NOTES (Dine-In) Dine-In Dishware: Reusable plates and cups Napkins: Single-use disposable paper napkin Utensils: Bioplastic fork and knife (wrapped in the aforementioned napkin). I was able to avoid this by telling them I didn't need it as they were handing it to me (and before it landed in my hand). read more

Simply the best. Bold for me to say, but at present, Craftsman and Wolves is probably my favorite bakery cafe in the city. Everything is really just incredible. I haven't even tried their serious works-of-art from "the case" yet; the cafe food and pastries alone hold their own. I've visited twice in the span of a couple months, which is quite frequent for me who tends to not repeat places. Both times my friend and I got a spread, so let me break everything down! Rachel From The Block ($15.50): Gorgeous and just scrumptious pastrami sandwich! From the homey bread, to the generous serving of pastrami (it also wasn't too generous, for the sake of our jaws and arteries), to the delicious sauce. Yes. If this piques your interest, get it. Also, I felt the price is really not bad for SF! The Uppercrust ($16.50): generous and delicious sandwich with such fun and complementary flavors! My friend really enjoys this one. Frittata Sandwich ($13.50): beautiful and lovely breakfast sandwich! No egg icks here! Just stunningly fluffy milk bread with a crisp, swiss cheese that works very well with the sweetness of the bread, and whole egg frittata. To make it a bit heartier, I would probably add avocado and/or bacon in the future, but it is great as is! The Rebel Within ($9.50): I feel you cannot come here and not try this work of sorcery. HOOWWWWWW do they get a WHOLE EGG in the MUFFIN?!?!!? The mystery alone makes this worth trying, but it's also just really delicious and comforting. I'm sure some advanced technique is required to make this, but at the end of the day, it tastes like something you'd enjoy at tea time in a countryside cottage, and I love that dichotomy :) Lion Head Stack ($8.95): soooo yummy. Ok, y'all, hear me out. I feel like the croissant pastry here is on par with, if not better than, Arsicault. It has to be said! Just so flaky, and buttery, but also moist?!! They are giving the people what they want! Also, the pork meatball filling on this one: soooo goood. So savory, and just delicious. Exquisite. Passion Alfajores Kouign Amann ($6?): lovely pastry and so cute! I will say, I do think this one could have used more filling. But, as said above, the pastry is bomb, so not complaining about getting to enjoy more of that. Banana Travel Cake ($4.75): Lovely!!! If you like banana-based baked goods, get this! The form factor sparks joy. It's dense and light at the same time -- an enigma. And the flavor is so cleanly ~banana~. It's really good. CRX Pudding ($6.75): probably my least favorite out of everything I've had, but still good! The texture is uniformly dense, and I would love some other textures in there for a bit more interest. Like a crisp on the outside, more distinct red bean paste, or parts that are less dense. Love the concept though! Matcha Snickerdoodle ($4): another one that isn't my favorite, but still good. Wasn't getting a ton of matcha, more just a nice sweetness and this cooling effect that I guess was coming from the candied lemon peel (loved the candied lemon peel by the way). It's also more cake-like than cookie like. Matcha Tonic ($7): super interesting and beautiful drink! It reminds me of a beverage you'd get in a cool cafe in Seoul. Pickled Veggies: they add this to the side of everything savory for free. Fun! Also, pickled things help with digestion, so love that too! I'm excited to try more from Craftsman and Wolves. Everything has been great so far, and everything else looks great. One day, I'll try the stuff from "the case". Love the eclectic space too. Well worth your time! read more

Delicious array of fresh desserts and savory pastries. Even better coffee. Atmosphere was pleasant and relaxed.

My friend saw this place on IG so we decided to try it. Stopped in for some snacks and lunch prior to hiking. Got a variety of pastries, sandwiches and drinks. The strawberry kouign amann was filled with a strawberry puree which was delicious! The rebel within had a soft boiled egg in the middle and was perfect for breakfast! Got the pastrami sandwich with the sauce and cole slaw on the side so the bread wouldn't get soggy since we were eating it later and it had great flavor! The crossaint and pastries were all very flaky and great! The raspberry matcha was their seasonal special. The raspberry was super tart and I felt overpowered the matcha. Overall food and service was great! Prices are kinda expensive but I would return read more

The little desserts are SO pretty (the reason why I wanted to try this place lol). They were so pretty I didn't want to eat them -- but they're just as delicious as they look. The lychee stone had cream that tasted so much like fresh lychee it was great. The egan's addiction had a very nice tea flavor to it. The pastry part of the Lion's Head was so flakey and airy which made it so good. And then the sandwich was also very nice (but the highlights are def the desserts and pastry lol) read more

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for a small treat and they did not disappoint! ~The Food~ They have such a cool variety of pastries and cakes that have such unique flavors and I wanted to try all of them! I love that they have a good variety of savory pastries as well! - Triple chocolate croissant: We decided to give this triple chocolate croissant this time and it was amazing! For any dark chocolate lovers, this is the perfect croissant! Despite being "triple chocolate", I thought the pastry was not too overly sweet, and just perfect! I really like dark chocolate and I think this croissant had just the perfect balance of the sweetness and bitterness. I also ordered their cold brew, which was not bad! Nothing too special, a little more on the acidic side but ok! ~Vibes~ They have a couple tables/chairs both indoors and outdoors. Although seating isn't plentiful, we were able to get a table outside on a nice Sunday afternoon! Pricing is a bit on the higher end for their pastries and cakes, but I think it's worth for the quality! Overall, I would definitely love to go back to try their other pastries and even some of their beautiful cakes! read more

Craftsman and Wolves - Triple Chocolate Croissant - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

A great cafe famous for its aesthetic pastries, Craftsman and Wolves is a nice spot to relax while visiting the Mission District. One of the signatures to try is their 'Rebel Within' muffin. A scotch egg enveloped by pork sausage and scallion, it's a good snack to start your day with. If you're looking for something sweet to pair with the muffin, Egan's Addiction is the one to get. The Taiwanese oolong is spectacular, with a smooth delicate flavor and light texture. It's like you're cutting into a cloud as the mousse and panna cotta melt in your mouth. Craftsman and Wolves has so many beautifully crafted desserts decorating its pastry cases, it's worth making multiple trips just to try them all. Of all items, I would say the sweets are definitely the highlight. read more

The strawberry kouign aman was so flaky and nice. The inside had a heavy hand of jam something I wish there was a little less of but it was very fresh and tart jam. Went lovely with the pastry. The rebel was really nice too. The exterior had a cornmeal feel and the egg inside was cooked to perfection. There is decent amount of searing inside and some outside. The service was prompt if you are just getting pastieres but it does get busy inside. read more

Being a SF Native you can see one business become another one over the years and sometimes within months. Leaving the habitat of Paxton Gates experiencing the garden and plants and the different animals styles of skulls on the walls like the cows and wolves on display with the stuffed raccoons resemble some people in SF. I was getting hungry like a wolf and decided to walk down Valencia street and wishing the original Slanted Door location to reopen but I ran into another animal style type of business , Craftmans and Wolves. There are two San Francisco locations in San Francisco one on Valencia street and the other in Yosemite ( Not the National Park) in Bayview Hunters Point also known as "The Den". I ordered the Croissant pudding which had my favorite ingredients such as vanilla custard and matcha milk jam ( it's my jam, I don't give a damn). It had a spongy texture like a mochi with a savory but sweet taste. I then tried the Havarti Mortadella Croissant with Danish havarti, mortadella and pistachio. It was savory with a hint of cheese and it was very flakey like some croissants in SF. I will say they are good croissants but not the best of best. My favorite of the bunch would be the Rebel Within. I enjoyed opening the muffin and watching the egg yolk dripping and pouring out lava. It was so savory and the egg was so soft and gooey but the taste was explosive like an active volcano erupting on an Island. I would say the best place on Valencia street to grab a sweet or savory pastry. This place may be called Craftman's and Wolves but they don't sell wolf tickets here. Come to Valencia street in SF where you don't have to lie to go "kick it "show the receipts and just because this place is called Craftman's and Wolves they won't sell you a wolf "ticket" You will barking and howling at the moon like a wolf because the pastry flavors is so wicked some like to smell it , bite it and "lick it"and watch the Rebel Within egg ooze out just like some liquid just don't drip it so grab utensils or just "handpick it" read more

The worst bakery in town I guest. every thing taste like over night. The chocolate croissant is nasty, cold and sticky but hard, the inside filling of the chocolate is not fresh and hard like a rock! Like chewing Chocolate chips, it is totally separate from the croissant. The Kouign Amann here is a joke. Trader Joe's puff pastry work better then it. It is cold and hard and not crispy at all, greasy, oily but tasteless. Like using so what cheap or fake butter. They are famous for the egg muffin but it is out...but base on other bread quality, i doubt it will be good... Will never come back. read more

Come early for the best selection of amazing pastries! I came in around 9am mid-week. There were no lines, plenty of seating and a full counter of pastries. I dare you to walk in without ordering one - they had a great selection of both sweet and savory! I ordered the Dulce de leche latte and shakshuka croissant. The croissant was perfectly flaky w a runny egg in the middle - loved it heated up!

One of my absolute favorite finds when I was in SF. First of all, it was so hard to choose what to get because everything looked so good. They have a kitchen side to their menu as well as a patisserie and you know I had to get a little bit of everything. The scotch egg, however, was the recommendation my sister made to me, and as someone who doesn't really care much for scotch eggs I was skeptical, but I'm so glad I trusted her. It was delicious. The crumb on the breakfast muffin had such a nice texture to it with beautiful savory richness coming from the bits of bacon and scallion, and that perfectly cooked jammy egg in the middle giving you that creaminess, but not being overly heavy somehow (which was my main concern) - WOW. I could eat two of these at once. The croissant pudding was also excellent, and not something you find everywhere- kind of like a better french toast. and their coffee was solid as well. Would def come back and recommend. read more

Cozy bakery with indoor and outdoor seating. I loved the colors and decorations inside. We came on a Thursday afternoon and it was packed. Our order: *Pastries* Sparkling Lychee Stone: $14.00 +White chocolate lychee mousse, sparkling wine grape confiture, and jasmine tea sponge were a fragrant and refreshing combo. +Green and white colors, gold splatter, and white chocolate flower decorations made for an aesthetically pleasing dessert. -Jasmine sablé was hard and didn't taste like jasmine. Cocoa Carrot Muffin: $5.85 +Rich, chocolatey, and moist without being too sweet +Balanced: Cocoa, carrot, ginger, and cinnamon worked well together. +Cocoa crumble added a crunchy element on top. -My brother said it's the densest muffin he's had, and I agreed. It took some force w/a fork to break off pieces. Egan's Addiction: $16.00 +Resembling stacked boba balls, it was fun to look at. +Taiwanese high altitude oolong white chocolate mousse, brown sugar genoise, and tea infused glaze reminded us of brown sugar milk tea, but in cake form. -Strawberry panna cotta and matcha panna cotta were lost in the other flavors. -Brown sugar sablé was hard. PB S'mores Bar: $14.00 +Nutty, slightly savory, not too sweet: SIL said it reminded her of Reese's Pieces. -Torched marshmallow meringue and graham cracker chiffon were overpowered by the dark chocolate fudge and peanut butter cremeux *Drinks* Lime Wire: $6.75 +One of my favorite coffee drinks that I've tried! The house sparkling limeade and double shot espresso made for a refreshing drink that had the perfect balance of bitter and sweet. +No upcharge for no ice Matcha Latte w/Housemade Honey Lavender Syrup: $7.00 +Drinkable temperature: Hot, but doesn't burn your mouth/tongue +Not my drink, but I took a sip: I thought the matcha and lavender were balanced but my mom wished the lavender was stronger. +Cute latte art Matcha Latte: $6.25 +Cute latte art +Not my drink, but SIL enjoyed it. Latte: $5.50 +Drinkable temperature: Hot, but doesn't burn your mouth/tongue +Not my drink, but I took a sip: Espresso was strong, which my dad enjoyed. +Cute latte art Side notes: 1.) Self-serve napkins and water 2.) Limited street parking *Verdict: I don't think I'd order these desserts again. If I was in the area, I'd return for the Lime Wire and try the Rebel Within. read more

10am Wednesday: Here I am central Valencia St hipster land, looking for breakfast. I always thought C & W was only coffee & pastries, but there it was on the menu, my beloved Avocado Toast. First let's discuss the ambience, clean, bright, sunny with ample seating, (no back support), couple of cafe tables outside for people watching. The staff were super friendly & welcoming. Bonus, no laptop village. Being a freak hot day I sat inside - nice cool temp. Can't believe I'm saying this. My car is 11 years old & I have no idea if it has AC. But I digress. Once you reach the counter you know you're in a special place. Beautiful pastries, artisanal in-house bread, craft coffees & a selection of sandwiches. Back to the Avocado Toast. A mind blowing list of ingredients: Avocado, poached egg, artichoke cannellini, whipped ricotta, pickled golden beets, herbed lemon Parmesan granolas, crispy shallot, hot honey, toasted house sourdough, & I added black pepper bacon. The plate was garnished with what I think was pickled carrot. The combo scared me, but I was assured it was delicious. Surprisingly it was, however they lost me at the hot honey. Too sweet for me, & why warm up a traditionally cold meal. The yummy bread was "toasted" maybe on the crust. No way you can eat with hands & the beautiful knife was barely serrated so mostly tore the bread into soggy shreds. However, despite my gripping, I ate every bite. No doubt I'll return for their amazing looking pastries, totally gift-worthy. (Mostly for myself). read more

This bakery had been on my list for a while and now I know why the chef was a James Beard finalist for pastry innovation. The desserts are beautiful and while I did not try any of the wild offerings like the Rebel Within or the Bees in Provence, I did enjoy the morning bun which should only be consumed while it is warm or else it is rather dry. The triple chocolate croissant was rich and delicious, but not too sweet. The banana travel cake was good as was the hazelnut financier which is their only gluten free option. The chocolate chip cookie was yummy. However, I saved the best for last, the black sesame kouign amann was to die for! Again, please heat before you consume and you will also fall in love. I was in a rush when I placed my order and did not notice that I was overcharged until I left, however, a quick phone call rectified the situation and I was promptly credited for the overage. read more

Yes, yes, and more yes. I have my go-to's here but I decided to veer off from the norm and try some new things like their lavender matcha, matcha snickerdoodle, and kouign amann. The cookie was my least fave since the matcha notes were light and the cinnamon flavor was dull too. The drink was refreshing. They make their syrups in-house and I was worried the lavender would be too floral but it balanced well with the earthiness of the matcha and oatmilk. I loved it! Kouign amann was perfection: buttery, flakey, and had that sweet crunchy top. It made my friend an instant fan of the pastry as he never had it before. Love the high ceilings and vibes of this place. Long share tables for dine-in and servers had a cheery, chill disposition. Haven't been in the city for two years and was happy to see craftsman is as wonderful as I left it. read more

Craftsman and Wolves is not only sold at their own locations but also widely at coffee shops and specialty stores across the Bay. I've gotten multiple pastries from them from the Ferry Building, Reveille Coffee shops, and Postcript. I recently tried their cocoa carrot muffin and I HAD to review it. Cocoa carrot muffin (5/5) - Are you kidding me. This is everything I could dream of in a muffin. The top is so perfectly crumbly, like large, dense streusel pieces from your favorite streusel dessert. The flavor is deep and cacao-y. The muffin base is SO moist, with this super unique flavor that definitely has hints of carrot cake but also something else (almost minty?). The dash of salt in this helps to intensify all the flavors. I love this. I know they're famous for their Rebel Within and gorgeous fine desserts, so I'll have to come in person to try them out. Love that I can get this almost anywhere without having to go all the way to the Mission! read more

This is a patisserie located in the Mission District that I had passed by quite a few times, but only really checked out not too long ago. The interior is modern and clean, while there are a few tables for seating near the entrance of the store. They sell a variety of pastries as well as coffee, although their desserts are the most eye-catching items. I decided to get Egan's Addiction, which is made with Taiwanese oolong white chocolate mousse, strawberry panna cotta, matcha panna cotta, and brown sugar genoise. This was one of the desserts that caught my eye as the design was very unique although they have plenty of other items that have an interesting aesthetic too. The flavor of this was great, as the panna cotta and mousse went well together and melted in my mouth. Although it's pricey, I think it's worth it if you want to try a uniquely crafted dessert. Overall, if you are willing to spend more on interesting food items then this is a good place to come to. read more

I've been to cafes that were catering from here but today was my first time getting drinks and baked goods from C+W. I thought the coffee was just ok (but i did appreciate that it had 1/2 caffeine option). The baked goods definitely had interesting selection but it was nowhere as good as other bakeries where their specialty is croissants and stuff The kouign aman was quite tasty. It also came with a mini macaron on top I was a little worried about it having too much filling and overpowering the base kouign aman, but i was pleasantly surprised to find that the strawberry peach filling wasn't too sweet. It was still very flavourful but it seemed like there were not as much added sugar. read more
