    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

    I seen this sour character in my social media feed in SF after hitting a sour patch

    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"

    Breakfast sandwich

    Great breakfast sandwich spot that is hearty and filling. I shared the sandwich with my friend as it is a big sandwich and it's perfect for two people to eat. The sandwich was more on the garlic side but I really liked the sauce they put in the sandwich itself. It's nice they use a biscuit as the bread because I like a good biscuit it for breakfast. The avocado gives it a nice touch to mellow out the sauce and eggs.

    Breakfast Sandwich

    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.

    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.

    Love this branch of Devil's Teeth. They have the most delicious breakfast sandwiches and yummy treats like a donut muffin. And on Sundays they have beignets for $1 each. They also have a variety of lunchtime sandwiches like a tuna melt, and grilled cheese and soup combo. Only one complaint: when there's a long line for food, people should be able to go straight to the cashier to buy books at the adjoining bookstore. I skipped my book purchase because I had already waited in the line once to order my food.

    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.

    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.

    Special breakfast sandwich
    Lisa N.

    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.

    I was the only one... now it's a congregation.

    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.

    Regular breakfast sandwich
    Isabella Y.

    I've been wanting to try Devils Teeth for a while, ordered the regular breakfast sandwich with no cheese. It was so tasty! The biscuit was light and fluffy, generous with the egg portion, and bacon wasn't super salty. Their house made hot sauce also added a nice touch

    Great selection of books

    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.

    Interior
    Miranda L.

    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.

I only tried it because I could neither spell nor pronounce it, but my goodness was I glad I did. It was literally heaven in my mouth. Since then, I have nary turned down Kouign-Amman when I see it on a menu. But never has any tasted quite as good as the one in Sedona... Today came close when I stopped at Arsicault Bakery. The line was a little intimidating but once in line it moves quickly. 15 minutes. I love Kouign-amann for what it is and isn't. It has simple Ingredients. A classic pastry from Brittany, France, it only contains yeast dough, butter, and sugar. Bakers fold sugar and butter into the dough in layers. As it bakes, the sugar melts to create a crispy, caramelized crust on the outside and soft, buttery layers on the inside--with no fruit fillings, so the one I tried in Sedona did a modern twist on it that strayed from its traditional counterpart, which I just happened to absolutely love. The Arsicault version has an impeccably crispy, caramelized crust and buttery layers inside that are so spongy and soft. It was rounded perfection. Given that it's been 6 years since I was Layla's Bakery in Sedona I cannot with certainty say which was better: Sedona wins for modifying the traditional with added apple compote (kudos to them for that tweak), but Arsicault wins for how close it is to what the traditional kouign-amann should be. The crisp, caramelized outer layers contrast with the satisfyingly soft center. Perfection. They say Arsicault has the best croissants in San Francisco. I haven't tried many others here, but I believe from what I've had of this so far that statement is likely accurate. I am too full at present to eat the almond croissant, but will tonight to make my decision on how it fares compared to the best almond croissant I've had thus far--in Santa Barbara at Goat Tree Cafe.

Never could score a preorder box, and instead, line up at 7:45 (earliest you can line up) and wait until opening at 9. Usually spend total 1.5 hours here after receiving the pastries. No matter what flavor the croissant is, it is consistently flaky and buttery. The classic pistachio cardamom sugar croissant is one of my favorite sweet items. Its not too sweet and the flavors are prominent. The rice roll was my favorite monthly flavor for september. The bun was pillowy and soft with meat, scallions and cilantro scattered throughout. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. There is a max 10 pastries, 3 of each pastries limit for each party. They're also able to separate pastries into different boxes if requested when ordering.

They have a pink espresso machine, a pink dough mixer, and the cup lids are pink.

The Pistachio croissant...Pretty special, I never had it with a cream filling. The little flat bread with eggplant and pomegranates and harissa drizzle...super!. Tahini chocolate.....the list goes on...The olive bread. So if you are going to make it to any part of the northern CA area, specially San Francisco (Yes, there are great bakeries around here), I would put this on the top of the list, as the preparation is all from scratch, and the unique flavors and approach to some well known treats is something one must enjoy. Oh, and on top of that, I ordered a plain espresso, and the barista managed to do it justice. So dont be on the fence on the coffee making and quality. The location is on the steeper roads that I have no idea how people deal with living here. Good job, as once you stop in the middle of the climb, you will likely spin some tire to get traction, and that is on a dry day! The bakery is among a residential area.
