    Good price for a viet sandwich in today's economy, but it lacked flavor. Might have been that they didn't give enough pate. Decent sandwich near dt

    I've been going to Latte Express for 10 years now. One of the best Banh Mi's you can get in the area. Their breakfast is solid too. I do wish it was a bit more inexpensive for a Banh Mi. Also, their bread is good, but sometimes it has tasted a bit stale. Otherwise their food is very tasty, and it feels nice to support their mom and pop shop.

    My go to lunch spot!!! Order the #7 and a Vietnamese ice coffee Service is fast and the sandwiches are decently priced.

    Overall good sandwich. Great customer service lines out the door. The food looks amazing over all the café is very neat and clean. I highly suggest you support local businesses.

    I came here to get a banh mi for my plane ride! I got the #9: grilled pork and Vietnamese coffee. The coffee was good and I was impressed by how stuffed the sandwich. I got another sandwich for my friend. 2 sandwiches and 1 iced coffee: $29.77 - that's honestly insane to me. They do charge 4% credit card fee but $30 is a lot.

    Tiny unassuming little spot on 5th Street. Their donuts are very good. The ube donuts aren't just the trendy purple folks have made popular but actually carry the distinct subtle coconut flavor. Cool spot!

    Donuts

    Limited donuts. I went in at 640am and there were like 18 donuts or so out and that's all they had. They are ok soft but don't have a buttery texture taste when you bite into it like certain donut shops. . 14$ for 6 donuts. I also bought a HEC (ham egg cheese) croissant and SEC (sausage egg cheese) croissant. They definitely tasted old not buttery flakey fluffy soft, eggs were rubbery and the ham lifeless and no flavor of ham. Cheese weren't melting it was also not very hot. Both sandwiches were slightly rubbery. Husband took my order and wife made the sandwiches. Wish a Happy Donuts was close by or All Star

    I found a strand of black hair in my banh mi!!!! Disgusting!!!!

    Latte express is absolutely the worst. Cant believe its got 4 stars on Yelp and Google. 1. The BBQ chicken Banh Mi has RED DYE (aka chemicals) on the chicken. It was definitely NOT BBQ. 2. The strawberry smoothie tasted like cotton candy mixed with chemicals. I poured it down the drain and did not see any fresh strawberries. 3. The FINAL STRAW- As I was picking through the sandwich and mostly eating the bread because the meat was so bad, I found a strand of black HAIR!!!!! I feel so disgusted! Horrible low quality food and drinks. Stay far, far away!

    Friendly & fast services. Many breakfast, donut & Vietnamese sandwiches with many drinks & coffee options. Seasonable prices. This place is clean and quite. I'm coming back for their fresh orange juice!

    Mold on croissant
    Brittany S.

    I pass by this place all the time and I finally decided to check it out for the first time, I ordered a ham, egg and cheese croissant sandwich to go. I took one bite in the car as I drove off and had to turn around, I smelt something off and I looked at the sandwich and there was mold on the bottom of croissant. I had to spit it out it was disgusting. I asked to be refunded, the total plus the tip I gave them. Lady insisted on remaking it but isn't want anything else from there. I won't be going back. It was disappointing. And the croissant wasn't toasted, it was cold. I would not recommend this place

    Steamed pork and pate spread bahn mi
    Jeff W.

    Bahn mi near my office I recommend this spot for the reasons here: 1 - fresh crunchy rolls 2- quick service 3- quality ingredients 4- nice owner-operators 5- close to my office at financial/Chinatown/North Beach Oh and the bahn mis are pretty stuffed. See my photo ! JYW recommends !

    Such a nice and easy place for a quick lunch in downtown. This is between Chinatown and financial district. The staff are super friendly and kind. The sandwiches are always so fresh and toasty. My go to is the combo I think #7! I usually come here pretty often and walk from downtown to grab a banh Mi!

    FINALLY tried B Patisserie and it did not disappoint! Came on Sunday after Mass at around 1 pm to…read morefind it still popping with a line out the door. Even so, they were refreshing that pastry case so that I was not without options. So many amazing-looking things, so I got 3 things just for myself: Chocolate Banana Almond Croissant $5.25: The classic, I had to try. And it was so good!! I thought it might be too rich, but I actually found it to be quite balanced. I loved the fresh mashed banana/banana purée inside, and it went really well with the chocolate. I didn't get a ton of almond flavor comparatively, but I appreciated the coating on the top for a heartier crunch in addition to the croissant flakiness. Like everyone else, I would definitely recommend this one! Passionfruit Bostock $4.25: The staff person helping me told me this was a good option, so I was happy about that. I would agree! It has a beautiful crisp on the outside and a moist crumb inside. The passionfruit flavor was really nice and not too strong. I believe they rotate different flavors of this one, so I'd definitely want to try more. Bostocks on the whole are underrated, and I think they have just the loveliest texture. All-in-One Cake: This is so creative. I was going to stop at the above two pastries, but when the staff person said that this cake was quite literally made up of all the other cakes seen in the case, I was already sold. How cool and creative and reduce-reuse-recycle is that!!!?? I love! And it was such a fun eat! I love how they added crust at the bottom and a gorgeous chocolate layer on top to tie everything together. And every bite was a little different: some fruity, some nutty, some crunchier. Super cool. I was able to nab a table and work a little bit, which was nice. It's a good vibe inside with a little hustle and bustle, but still cozy overall. I'll be back!

    This is a popular neighborhood bakery that is also famous in the entire city. They're famous for…read moretheir Kouign Amann, French pastries with an Asian flavored twist. When the full size Kouign Amann runs out these breadsticks, see my photos, are excellent substitutes: caramelized, sweet, crunch, and flaky. Sort of like bite size Kouign Amann. The layered coffee / espresso cake is excellent, just the right amount of coffee, sweetness and cream. It's subtly sweet and just the right harmony of bite through the layers. It's a little small portioned but love the sleek rectangular slice. They often have seasonal, Asian inspired flavors such as sesame Kouign Amann. For holidays, order ahead, and arrive early. For fresh Kouign Amann's, get them early in the morning. They sell out. Location: near UCSF Mount Zion medical center.
