I lived in the Mission for not quite two years, but I tend to divide that short time into sunrise, broad daylight, and sunset. Note that I didn't say I divided the time equally. No, the sunrise section was shortest, and broad daylight was longest. Sunset's length was in the middle, but it also began before I knew when I would actually be leaving, so it stretched out a bit. Fox and Lion fits very neatly into that sunset. I was trying to try all these local places that I hadn't yet, and then sunset actually happened, and I was back at my rebuilt flat near the Panhandle. I came to Fox and Lion for the egg-salad sandwich. I wasn't quite disappointed. The sandwich was too small to do anything to my hunger, but I have come to expect that everywhere, and it was lovingly crafted and handmade. I don't know why it took so long to be made, but it's a cute little setting. It reminds me of the 1990s and the girl I dated who didn't shave and my own long-hair phase. I expected to overpay and undereat, and I did both, but neither one figures into my rating. Not really. If I'm being honest. It's an OK place that I probably would have liked better if I had discovered it during my Mission sunrise and gotten to know it better. It feels like a place with very specific rhythms and qualities. read more

The bread and baked goods here are generally delicious. I just recommend you stay away from the tofu sandwich. The texture of the bread was lost on the wet flavorless tofu and equally so hummus. Vegan food has come such a long way, it's a disappointment this sandwich hasn't made that journey. read more

Can't go wrong with this place. Fresh bread and coffee, lgbt friendly, a few yellow chairs in the sun, read more

Great neighborhood sandwich place, family friendly and great price. The bread is baked fresh daily and the sandwiches are good. My family really enjoys this place. The owner and staff are friendly. read more

Ants all over the counter. Salad lettuce still has dirt in it. I had to order something else after they realized they were out of one dish. They completely forgot to bring me my drink. read more

Had the green dream and it was delicious. All the flavors melded so well together. The sandwich was large and filling. Service was great. A ton of veg/vegan options and a cute spot for a quick lunch! read more

Fox and Lion Bread - Green dream - Pizza Near Me - San Francisco, California

Excellent sandwiches, pizza, salads and cookies! It's located on a not so clean area of the mission, we almost missed the shop since it is very unassuming from the outside, almost looked more like a convenience store entrance with graffiti Small bare bones interior with a couple of tables The sandwiches are great- made with fresh bread, packed with delicious ingredients. I loved the Mary's with the cooked bell peppers and melted cheese. My husband loved his green dream- I didn't like the tapenade sauce, but he loved it. Sometimes sandwich/pizza shops don't have the best salads- but my Nico's salad was huge, with tons of colorful toppings- I was happy with it If you're wondering whether to get the cookies at the counter, the answer is yes! Their freshly baked cookies are a must! read more

They have the best bagels in the city and such a friendly, low-key, social justice vibe. My favorite cafe.

Found this place after an appointment in a part of SF we weren't familiar with. Quick and friendly service! Really good bread and pizza slices! read more

This is a great place to grab a sandwhich or slice of square pizza. The variety of sandwiches all were great and the pizza was super tasty. The staff gave great recommendations and customized our orders. There are only a few seats so its best to get take out but its a good spot in a fun and clean neighborhood in San Francisco. Also, if you got kids then ask for chocolate milk. Its awesome! ! ! read more

Cute little sandwich/coffee shop tucked away in the Mission. I had the Mary's sandwich and it was so so good. I added tomato. I want to come back and try out some of the other sandwiches. Some of them are so interesting, and I bet the salads are good too. They have an eclectic selection of craft beers and sodas. The employees were super nice. When I went in there was the cutest scene of several senior ladies enjoying coffee and bagels while chatting. Seemed like their hangout spot. Who doesn't love a Golden Girls vibe? Yep, I'll be back to test out other sandwiches, although it will be hard not to order the Mary's. read more

Awesome new bakery. The fact that I just had avocado toast with delicious olive oil, fancy sea salt, perfectly ripe avocados and house made bread for $6 has me in shock. I didn't think it was legal to charge San Franciscans under $15 for avocado toast. What a deal. The bagels and cinnamon roll were a total delight and I love that they have Proyecto Diaz coffee, truly one of my favorite local purveyors. Staff is very friendly and takes time to give you the details. Small cozy seating area, warm hipstery vibe but without pretentiousness. Will definitely be back. read more

Zimmerman Sandwich The sandwich consists of a unripe olive oil, which adds a grassy flavor, textural crunch from the lettuce, thick slice of turkey, and the creaminess from the avocado. This is all sandwiched in between bread, which was a bit hard to chew but I like the flavor of the bread. The seasoning was well balanced from the freshness of the lettuce, avocado, and olive oil, the savoriness from the turkey and additional salt and pepper. I got this to go, so the service was fast in preparing the sandwich. Worth it. read more

Ordered the pastrami #2 sandwich which was $15. This sandwich was all bread with barely any pastrami and the sauerkraut was tasteless.

Just got the guru sandwich and the first impression is that they're super stingy with their filling. I didn't spot any hummus in the sandwich at all. All I can taste is the big lettuce leaf. Disappointing! read more

VEGAN REVIEW: this morning I google searched for "vegan cinnamon roll SF" - how did I not know this place is in my neighborhood before now?! The cinnamon roll was so good I gobbled it up before getting a photo. Great coffee too. Then I stuck around long enough get lunch hungry and the Green Dream did not disappoint - fresh bread and deliciously unique ingredients made this vegan tummy very happy! All at very reasonable prices. Also can't wait to try some of the cans of unique craft beers they have in the fridge. This cafe has a very chill vibe and friendly folks, there's wifi and you can hang out and get some work done with sun streaming in the wall of south facing windows. This is a new favorite spot for me! read more

There aren't many places left in SF where you can get a sandwich under $10, but Fox & Lion Bread delivers a great sandwich for just $9 (as of May 2024). I got the famous turkey sandwich for $9, and while there might be more gourmet sandwiches in the city, this is definitely one of the best quality/price sandwiches around. As you might expect from a bakery, the bread is fresh (an absolute must for a good sandwich), and it was surprisingly big for just $9. They even included roasted red peppers, which are often an extra charge at other places. I only wish they included tomatoes and spinach for no extra charge, but it's understandable given the base price of the sandwich is only $9. It would be easy to miss this place if you're not looking for it (there is not much signage out front), but with delicious sandwiches, pizza, baked goods, and more for reasonable prices, this is a place worth seeking out. You can also order and pay ahead online - I did this and my order was ready within 15 minutes during peak lunch time on a Friday. read more

Cute environment, nice style and menu and chill SF style vibe. Tuna sandwich pretty good, veggie one excellent! We'll be back

We love Fox and Lion Bread. The fresh bread is amazing, the sandwiches are great (they bake bread there daily, and everyone knows the secret to a great sandwich is great bread!). The baked goods (especially cinnamon rolls and chocolate chip cookies) are really good. Staff is really friendly. There are nice windows and tables to sit out if you want to eat there, afternoon light is really pleasant. Thank you! read more

Fox and lion is a great cozy space in the mission right off 18th and mission street!! All the staff are so friendly and they have great lattes here!!

I hereby declare it the best sandwich in San Francisco. Her bread is amazing too, and that's saying something if you are only a few blocks from Tartine. read more

Great atmosphere and food, can't really get it anywhere else. Very quick service and the people there were very nice.

Love this spot! It's got a cute indoor space with tables and even though I got my sandwich to-go, I could see hanging out in the future. They sell coffee and also alcohol but I did not get a drink. Service was super friendly and kind; I felt instantly comfortable. I ordered the New Orleans and also got a chocolate chip cookie. The sandwich was so fresh and had a very homemade taste. The bread was amazing and the flavor of the sandwich was delish. I want to try all the sandwiches on the menu, especially the green dream and egg salad. The cookie was soft and moist and perfect. This part of the mission is not wonderful but it's worth it for these sandwiches! Parking is sporadically available but beware of break-ins. Might want to park on Valencia St and walk over. read more

Had to also add that I've come back several times for their avocado toast and vegan cinnamon rolls and they're the best in the city!

great pizza and super sweet service! gave me a half loaf for free! also glad they sell by the slice

I had a break in between work and was looking for a coffee shop to get some work done and get a quick snack. There were no coffee shops in the area coming up on Yelp (there was a Peet's but it was in a supermarket so that doesn't count), so it was great to see this one come up! It's on a main street but it's a wider, quieter street than other parts of San Francisco so it was easy to get you. There was free parking around the coffee shop which made the positive experience (so much of a San Francisco is finding parking, so finding a spot within 10 seconds was exciting). It was in the afternoon, super mellow and we were served quickly. I ordered the house iced cold lemonade- it was so refreshing and delicious! The only thing is it's pretty small for the cost and a lot of the glass cup is filled with ice. There were homemade croissants being made for the next morning which looked delicious, and I loved how they were making it where we can watch. Overall, great coffee shop and I'd love to come back and try their food items (pizzas, salads, sandwiches) and hopefully can have a larger lemonade with less ice! read more

Went in and there was nothing there available... hardly any bread to purchase and two pastries... and tons of flies

Wish they had vegan cheese for the pizza. The pepperoni on the "vegan" pizza was good. Update: they have vegan mozzarella :) read more

Often in the neighborhood and Fox and Lion is the perfect place to grab a cup of joe, a sandwich, a freshly baked baguette for your avocado toast, or a pizza to be heated for dinner later...whatever it is, everything is just so darn good. Highly recommend the Green Dream sandwich--marinated artichokes, sliced roasted potatoes, balsamic onions, avocado, and lettuce on a baguette slathered with green olive tapenade, mustard, and chili oil. Omnomnomz for days... Xan is such a presence that it's almost inevitable that Fox and Lion will be more than San Francisco's best kept secret and explode into the scene. You heard it here first. Bonus: check out their t-shirts. How cute are they?! Someone get me one, small please. =) read more

There are lots of vegan options, and the food is fresh -- even the bread is made there every day. I admire the commitment it takes to start up and run a bakery (or any small business in SF). Making bread has got to be long hours, starting early in the morning. The place is clean and comfortable, and you can see everything being prepared. Oh and the prices are reasonable! I wish the outside were even nicer so folks would be tempted to walk in for the first time -- then they could grow. Because I want Fox and Lions everywhere all across town!! PS: The owner is way cute. read more

Great place, and great variety. The country loaf is delicious, and all the prices are really fair. A nice addition to the neighborhood. You can also get some of their bread to go at the Mission mercado on Thursdays. read more

love this place, flavors and service are all 5 stars. Just went vegan and they have some of the best vegan options for food in the SF, especially the super salad. As a SF native I'm extremely proud to have a great lunch spot like this in my community. good food, good peeps, great service!! read more

Been coming here at least once a week since discovering this place. Top notch pizza, the crust is absolutely delicious. Have tried the half sheet and the pie, and personally the square pizzas are what hits the spot, maybe there's something nostalgic about the square ones as it brings back memories of school pizza. Parking here is easy enough, but call ahead so you don't have to wait around. read more

The frittata sandwich was very generous and extremely delicious (highly recommend adding the ham as an extra).

The staff are very friendly! Grateful to be able to support a small locally owned business. read more

Wonderful, fresh, from scratch baked sweet and savory treats. Xan comes in everyday before 6am to make fresh baked goods for locals. Come get some top tier croissants and tarts, support local businesses! read more
