There are few combinations which go well with food like peanut butter and jelly, chicken and waffles, and french fries and ketchup. Then there are some interesting collaborations in the fast food world like a KFC and Taco Bell restaurants or the Baskin Robins and Dunkin Donuts shop. A collaboration which goes perfect in my book is a cafe and a bookstore like the late Tanforan location of Barnes and Noble and Starbucks with The Cheesecake Factory pastries . There is one collaboration which is organic and native to San Francisco. These combination are the best of the best in San Francisco in their category of business. It's located in the Embarcadero Center at Embarcadero 1 and it's Devils Teeth / Green Apple Bookstore. In an Embarcadero stroll I landed at Embarcadero 1 at Devils Teeth. I have tried the other two Devils Teeth stores in the Outer Richmond and the other at the Sunset Strip of San Francisco and they are legit. This store really is my favorite one now because they added my favorite bookstore Green Apple. Inside they serve the coffee and breakfast sandwiches along their known flakey pastries like some in SF. I got the breakfast sandwich from other bacon and egg on a biscuit . This combination of savory and buttery was my jam. I then I washed it down with an ice mocha which was not too sweet and the combination hit the spot. The Green Apple bookstore inside has a very good curated collection which has the right amount of books about food and the human experience. This is definitely the spot everyday of the week for breakfast and lunch . Go on a Sunday because they have $1 beignets because you cannot get anything good in San Francisco for $1 these days. San Francisco is the place to get great combinations and independent collaborations like The Mill on "Divisadero" with Josef Baker Bread and coffee from "Four Barrel" in San Francisco the city has lots of one way streets so follow the one direction "arrow"especially around the Financial District in the "Embarcadero " Go to the Embarcadero in San Francisco and become a "food crawler"the have many cafes and restaurants no matter if you are white or blue "collar"and grab a pastry and a coffee and read a book inside Devils Teeth and Green Apple and become a food "scholar"then go on a Sunday because they have beignets for "one dollar" read more

Great breakfast sandwich. Got the special. Tons of sauce and a super fresh biscuit. They also had a salsa that added a great flavor and spice. (Went to another location and they were super confused when I asked for the salsa? Might be only this spot) Fun little bookstore inside too read more

The regular breakfast sandwich is the best I've had anywhere. I don't order the special because of allergies to peppers (pepper jack, in this case). Staff is courteous and friendly, I've even bought a shirt because i like the design as well as the food. I'm there every week after the Ferry Plaza's farmers market, there is no better place. read more

Massive and delicious breakfast sandwich. Super filling and satisfying we ended up splitting it and using their house salsa. The salsa itself was not spicy to us but added good flavor. It's counter service and they have a cute small bookstore inside to peruse while you wait for your food. The line to order gets long here so come prepared. We took our sando around the corner to enjoy at the Embarcadero plaza in the sun overlooking the ferry building while people watching. read more

What's up with the people that work here? I've had two really rude interactions out of about 6 visits. The first I made the mistake by asking if they were still open, "Does it look like we're open?!" was the response. (First visit). I asked because they were bringing in signage and no customers were inside. Today, I stood at the counter waiting to be acknowledged while the gal behind the counter just talked to a friend. Apparently that breakfast sando sells so well they can treat people like crap. I just simply walked out. I feel like the owners should maybe visit this location? I can't imagine this is what they want for their business. read more

The pictures I took just don't do it justice. This was a hearty, massive breakfast sandwich and super filling and super tasty! I've been wanting to check this spot out for quite a while now and so glad that I did. I love that the inside of the building is connected to a tiny bookstore. It makes the ambience that much better. read more

I've had the breakfast sandwich here and the beignets. The Richmond location is always packed but has a nice outdoor patio and this location is cute and clean with a bookstore while you wait. The staff are friendly and helpful. Everyone says this is the best breakfast sandwich in SF and it was good, but it's not my favorite. It's quite large and messy, making it hard to eat and when I had it the biscuits were a little dry. I tried the normal beignets and special strawberry ones for Valentine's Day. They're hot and fresh and well priced, I'm not an expert in beignets but I know people say they're light and pillowy. These are more dense but the flavor is good! Overall a big fan of this business, I just gravitate to the less famous menu items. read more

Devils Teeth Baking - bacon, eggs, cheese breakfast biscuit sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

Small location right in One Embarcadero. I stopped by on my way back to work after an appointment to get some sweets. I opted for a chocolate chip cookie and a strawberry banana muffin. Hubby enjoyed the chocolate chip cookie but said not the best he's had. I ate my muffin the next day for breakfast and it was pretty good. It was still moist with just the right amount of denseness. Minus one star due to gnats flying around the baked goods which normally would result in me walking right back out without buying anything, but I wanted to give this place a try. read more

The infamous breakfast sandwich spot. This location is a little trickier to find parking since it's in a more central location of SF. I think I prefer the other location more. I placed an order online along with my 2 other friends. I drove us there and they went to pick up our order while I wait in the car. Luckily, it was super fast. The special breakfast is $14 and packed with flavor. The fluffy egg, crispy bacon, avocado, and sauce inside a warm fluffy and light biscuit. Appreciate the consistency to their other location. read more

Devil's Teeth, named for the Farallon Islands and the book that charts their raw mythos, lives up to its name... sharp, elemental, and unforgettable. I walked in at 9:30 on a Saturday. No line. Fifteen minutes later, the place had a full-blown following behind me. Timing is a kind of knowing. I asked for sourdough instead of biscuit. A quiet recalibration. The sandwich was everything. My partner's three eggs with add-ons disappeared like a decision already made. The books on the shelf were serious. No fluff. Cookbooks with backbone. Essays with heat. A place that understands hunger on multiple levels. And the hot sauce? It preached. read more

Wednesday, May 14, 2025 11am: After wandering the Embarcadero Center mall of doom I came upon Devil's Teeth. Wow, $6 Avocado Toast! Threw in some bacon for $2. Such a deal. 4 stars for the friendly, fast service. No seating here, but an awesome bookstore inside. My favorite book was Serial Killer Guide to San Francisco. Anyway, the avocado chunks were generous. I liked the crispy bacon. Minus 1 star because the 'toast' was actually a sandwich. For the uninitiated, avocado toast is an open face item. And the bread is Toasted, hence the name. Sigh. As Devils Teeth is strictly take-out, I recommend climbing 1 flight of stairs to the elevated walkway which had lots of tables & chairs. Great start to the day. read more

My friend and I decided to check out Devil's Teeth for lunch during the week. They don't have seating inside but it is pretty spacious with a section where they have a collab with Green Apple Books. We ordered with the cashier and it came out pretty quickly around 10 minutes for our sandwiches. Regular Breakfast Sandwich - The biscuit was the star of the sandwich, homemade, fluffy, buttery and had a little bit of sweetness. The bacon and cheese came through a bit with the saltiness but the majority was the egg which had a nice texture but needed a bit more seasoning. The salsa on the side was not too spicy, a more mild flavor that added more depth to it. It does become very filling and heavy. It was a signature breakfast sandwich in San Francisco that is worth checking out. read more

I came on a Saturday afternoon. It happened to be bay to breakers weekend so it wasn't super busy. It was a short line to order and after ordering, they have a little section where they sell books cards, etc. for you to wait. I think it took about 15 minutes for our food to come out. I got the special breakfast sandwich ($13) but they had run out of bacon that day. You can opt to change to sausage for an extra $3 dollars. I also got a lemon bar and an iced tea. I didn't know what to expect, was pleasantly surprised! I'm not usually a breakfast person or a breakfast sandwich person let alone sausage. However, the ingredients tasted super fresh and the lemon-garlic aioli was very flavorful. But my favorite thing was a lemon bar, I even took it home and my boyfriend finished it immediately (when I was saving it for myself as a snack for later). It was the perfect balance of tart and sweet as well as consistency where some lemon bars can be too runny. I really wanted to try their beignets, but they had just run out for the day so I will definitely be back for that! read more

Devils Teeth Baking - Menu - 18 May 2025 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is a really nice spot tucked into a ground level space shared with with a small bookstore (popup?). The staff is really friendly. The cashier actually remembered my name when I went in again the same day to check out the bookstore. I tried their donut muffin and an Arnold Palmer. It had more heft to it than a typical donut but was much lighter and airier that any muffin. It had a nice crumb and tasted like a good cake donut. Yum. It's a small space, so be planning to take anything you buy to go. The coffee smelled divine. That will be a must try if I make it back there. Recommended. read more

We ordered the special breakfast sandwich via online pickup. Painless process, food was ready really fast. The one dollar surcharge for egg prices did break my heart a little bit though. Overall, the sandwich was not bad, but I would say that it looks better than it tastes. I think the salt levels were decent, and the texture of the egg was good. The bacon had a nice meatiness to it. However, the sandwich itself desperately needed hot sauce with every bite to deliver a decent punch. My general rule is that the sauce should enhance the tastes that are already there rather than deliver 85% of the flavor. The biscuit itself could have been more buttery and flakey, so I am disappointed on that end. The place itself is in a cute little nook with an attached bookstore, so the vibes were very cute. While I can't speak much to its other offerings, I would say that the special breakfast sandwich from Devil's Teeth Baking were just okay, especially for the $15 that it costs. Even at California prices, I wanted just a little bit more. 3/5 stars. read more

We tried: Cinnamon roll, maple pecan scone, donut muffin, bacon muffin. All excellent.

I heard this place had the best breakfast sandwich in town. It was exceptionally bland and not worth going out of the way for. The service was lackluster and apparently one can't get cream or sugar with their coffee. I'm not sure who started this place or manages but the hands it was in when I went weren't very interested in providing anything special. The book store was a nice touch. read more

Affordable & scrumptious food that is perfect for an on-the-go lunch! I stopped by with a friend this weekend after hearing from friends about their speciality homemade biscuit sandwich. The speciality comes with scrambled eggs, bacon, avocado, and their homemade garlic aioli. As other reviewers said, add plenty of the house-made hot sauce! The service was exceptional, quick, and I was served within minutes. I watched as they carefully baked and assembled what would become one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. I am so grateful that there is now an affordable and exceptional food option that is open on Saturdays in the FiDi. Despite having a compact space, I enjoyed the grab and go ambiance. I will be returning! read more

This location is a small storefront merged with a Green Apple Books, which makes it a cute weekend morning stop. I came here at 12:30 PM on a Sunday, and there were only a couple of people waiting for their food and drinks. There's no seating inside, so this is much more of a grab-and-go place. I ordered the Regular Breakfast Sandwich, a Beignet (which they only make on Sundays), and a Cinnamon Roll to share with my friend. I asked before I ordered if they had Cinnamon Rolls, and the cashier said yes. I paid and unfortunately only afterwards they told me that they were actually out of Cinnamon Rolls, which they offered me a refund for. A little disappointed by that experience -- I was looking forward to that and I was anxious about the refund because they didn't offer me a receipt or anything of the refund. Regular Breakfast Sandwich: 5/5, the biscuit was deliciously buttery yet fluffy and the eggs were almost like a soft scramble so they were juicy and lush. A generous amount of bacon and melted cheese made this such a nice breakfast. Beignet: 4/5, for $1 each, these were delightful. They come in the bag with powdered sugar so you can reshake and cover them. They're beautiful and golden, I could definitely see myself going through a bag of these. Overall a good experience, I just wish I was able to get the cinnamon roll and they were more aware of what they had left before charging me as it was slightly distressful to have to trace that down. read more

Grabbed special breakfast sandwiches and a chocolate chip cookie-- it was the best and hot the spot!

In addition to the beignets (only on Sundays) and breakfast sandwiches that we had there (yes- truly a must), we took a few different baked goods to a party.

Had been wanting to come for a while to try their breakfast biscuits and finally was able to go a Saturday around noon. It wasn't busy, I was in and out in 10min. There aren't any tables or sitting area in this specific location, so you have to keep this in mind. I ordered the regular breakfast sandwich and a capuccino. The breakfast sandwich was very good. The eggs were a bit too salty, but still delicious. The bacon was very crunchy! However, the capuccino was ok, it was too acidic for me. Overall, I would revisit this spot for the breakfast sandwich and skip the coffee! Also, the staff was very kind. read more

I feel like it isn't fair to review this place without trying the breakfast sandwich, which just means I'll need to come back. The tuna melt ($12) was just OK, but the dirty chai ($6) was surprisingly good and the prices were much more competitive than other lunch options in the area. The sandwich had cheese, tuna and lettuce without any sauce so it was a bit dry and the bread was soft. The inside was small without any seating, but there was a Green Apple Books pop-up which kept me busy during the bulk of the wait--definitely plan some time to stand around after you order if you come during peak hours. It gets loud and busy with the lunch crowd. Overall, I don't really understand the full scope of the hype but will be back to try the biscuit sandwich. read more

I think our modifications made it not very good so take my review with a grain of salt. We ended up getting the morning breakfast sandwich but substituted the bacon for avocado which made the texture much worse. It also felt like it needed a sauce of some sort as well to tie it together. That being said the busicuit was great and the ingredients they used were solid. The atmosphere was interesting. I'm sure they are just working with what they have but it seemed a bit odd. A tone of wall seating is there the moment you enter divided by a small bookshelf and in the courtyard there are some old (rusty) mettle labels and chairs. None of it was bad but it didn't add much either. They were friendly and pretty quick. Water options in cardboard cups where available and they have compost as an option. The price was a little high for what we got but not too much for San fransisco. read more

My go-to breakfast spot in the city. The most consistent place yet. The specialty breakfast sandwich never fails to satisfy all my wants in a breakfast sandwich. You can taste all the quality ingredients, the fresh avocado, the lemon garlic aioli. The biscuit is always soft, never too hard or dry. May get messy, but only because of the loadedness of the contents of the sandwich. Been to two locations and the service is always friendly and quick.

When an error occurs, Chow Now's only remedy is to call the location and ask them to modify/cancel the order, but this location does not provide a way for Chow Now to contact them. Order at your own risk. When I tried to give feedback to the person at the store they had a poor attitude. read more

Excellent food. We had a breakfast sandwich that was chocked full of avocado, egg, cheese, and bacon. They use garlic lemon aioli that sounded terrible to me, but was exceptionally delicious. Service was ok, not rude, but definitely not friendly. I had the special hot cider, it was wayyyyy too cinnamon-y and burnt my throat. The coffee was ok, a bit burnt tasting. There is nowhere to sit inside and no tables outside during our visit, but it's a very short walk to the covered public seating in the Embarcadero center less than a block away. read more

Service friendly. Bit of a wait. Lots of 20s-30s aged ppl working and customers. No more quiche till eggs not so expensive, but still breakfast sandwiches with eggs. Disappointing, not their fault. Limited selection of pastries like at a Starbucks. Place is clean and average noisy. Was having an involuntary progressive breakfast because I could not get anything I wanted at several restaurants, so I just got a side of sausage here. It was pretty dried out. It's good they cooked it well since it's pork, but could have been moister. Hope their breakfast sandwiches are not dry to. Worth a try. read more
