So good! Definitely one of the best croissant bakeries in SF. We went on a Sunday morning close to…read more11 and there was a long line. It took about 20 minutes to get to the front, which wasn't too bad. We had the potato mushroom, caramel apple, pistachio and plain croissants. The croissant had a nice flaky crust and had all the pockets you would expect from a good croissant. They were all delicious but our favorite was the apple and mushroom potato. The mushroom potato was one of the best savory croissants we have ever had. The Apple croissant tasted like apple pie. There is no seating in the bakery. They do sell cute merchandise worth checking out. Everyone was very nice and friendly. Would highly recommend a visit!

Would I wait 2+ hours for any baked goods? Probably not…read more I've done it before and I realized nothing is worth the wait. That's why I decided to take my chances around 11am when the line was significantly shorter. I waited maybe 15-20 minutes. Downside was I didn't have too many savory options left to choose from. I had only one savory option left: the butternut chorizo croquiche. Only thing I wish they did was separate the savory from the sweet because when we bit into it, pieces of chorizo fell onto the dessert-y pastries. Reminded me of that Friends episode where Rachel made a beef trifle for dessert. *I wasn't supposed to put beef in the trifle* I think the savory pastry was the best. We also had the chocolate chip cookie (not my fav, too crumbly), the banana pain au chocolat and the lemon vanilla bean filled cruffin. I'm having vague memories of that last one. I just remember it was really messy when you unleashed the cream. Among the sweet desserts, I liked the banana chocolate croissant the best! It wasn't overly sweet. I also got the salted maple pecan latte and I really enjoyed their housemade whipped cream! And the latte wasn't too sweet either :) I expected to spend a pretty penny on 4 pastries and a latte. It was ~$40 overall. It was less sticker shock and more quiet resignation. Anyway, I would still happily try their pastries again as I know they have a seasonal menu, but you won't find me in line at 7am.

It ended up being one of my favorite stops in the city, and I really look forward to coming back soon. It's an easy one to get to on a walk in the area. It feels like a cafe or coffee roaster, so modern and clean, but with a clear love of everything chocolate. I'm told on the weekends it gets super busy thanks to their menu of chocolate infused everything including coffees and teas. On the left to the inside is their full range of bars, which includes a placard with the location of the cacao and tasting notes. There are also free samples of everything, and the servers can help you with questions. They even have little tasting sheets for notes if you want to get serious and remember for future visits. They have a few tables and bar seating at the front, with more bar seating along the back right leading to the clean restrooms. Here you'll also find educational displays about chocolate and viewing windows to the roasting and processing rooms. Even though it was afternoon, it was so much fun to order things with caffeine just for the sheer joy of it. We had the chocolate milk, I had a chocolate infused black tea, we shared a special new bar, and were given their signature tiny cookies. Prices are reasonable for the quality, both the drinks and the bar. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, they clearly love the place as much as we do.
