With a name like Les Croissants, banh mi wasn't the first thing I thought of when I heard of this place, but trust when I say it delivers. I ordered a grilled pork banh mi with everything except mayo for lunch, and it was quite tasty with well-seasoned meat and fresh, chewy bread. It definitely ranks up there as one of the most authentic banh mi I've had in SF. Worth noting that this place could be easy to miss, as there's not really any outdoor signage, and it's located along a traffic heavy route at the border of Japantown on Geary. That said, you should definitely stop by and give their sandwiches a try if you're in the area. This place is a less obvious hidden gem that's way more worth your time than the trendy, flashy cafes in actual Japantown. read more

Came in for a breakfast takeout order. There was a small line but it moved quickly. Ordered an egg n (American) cheese on croissant + everything bagel w/ egg n cheese w/ onion, tomato, avocado for my partner + 2 OJs + a large black coffee for him as well -- only $24 for all. Huge menu of breakfast & lunch options. They have donuts and a banh mi menu toooo. Tons of drinks to choose from including some unique teas, fruit drinks, aloe drinks, coffee, etc. The man and woman taking care of the orders and register were so nice and packaged everything up very securely for me to walk around with. Our food was simple yet very good and I'd 100% stop by again if near the area *big smilez* read more

Nice mom & pop shop. Very friendly. Good appears fresh. Good flavors. Real espresso drinks.

The people here are so nice and always makes my morning. Compared to other places their banh mi and viet coffee are priced lower but still have that classic taste. read more

The days of a really cheap meal is over. A bánh mì for under $10 outside of the Tenderloin is a good deal. Small mom and pop place right by the bus stop on Geary. Nice clean place with several tables for dine in. A good sign is that it looks like they have a lot of regulars. The woman usually behind the counter is really nice and makes a good sandwich. I got a Chinese BBQ pork sandwich and it was very good. Nice combo of pickled and fresh veggies, and a tasty BBQ pork. My only wish is for a little more pork. This is a local place that we should keep in business. read more

They have my favorite apple fritter in The City. I like them when they're crispy on the sides, not too thick or dark. They also make a great banh mi. So grab yourself a banh mi and a fritter and that'll be one great lunch. The lady that's always there is very sweet and seems to know everyone. read more

Am a student near by go here often for some good priced food and in top that people here are very welcoming and friendly and it's one of my favorite Vietnamese sandwich places in the city read more

I am a fan! I ordered their chicken teriyaki bahn mi, it's packed with chicken veggies and FLAVOR! I love how the bread was crispy and light. I opted to add pate for an extra $1.50 which really enhanced the flavor. The lady I believe is the owner and she is super friendly. Their Vietnamese iced coffee also tastes amazing, the coffee flavor is still strong and not overpowered by the sweetness. To be honest I didn't feel to sit in there and eat as it's a bit dark but if you're looking for an affordable and tasty meal, this is a great option! read more

I'm only rating the Vietnamese Iced Coffee. Vietnamese Iced Coffee: I wanted a strong drink, both caffeine and flavor. This checks that box! I went with the Large because I needed something to really kick start my day. It absolutely did. Aside, they have a handful of tables that you can sit at or do some work. The Wi-Fi is pretty damn good too! Took a few Zoom calls with zero issues. Only thing is, it could get loud if there's a lot of folks here. read more

I can't speak for all the reviewers, but I come here for one thing- BANH MI! I actually discovered their sister store in FiDi before stumbling upon this location--which prepares all of their banh mi fixins for both. By far the best banh mi I have found in SF. Delicious, and the bread! Their baguette is everything. Authentic and not overpriced! Though, full disclosure, skip the boba. read more

Les Croissants Cafe - Combination Banh mi - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Visited this spot specifically for Vietnamese coffee. It's a cozy mom-and-pop shop on the smaller side. I noticed they had pre-made coffees in the fridge, and added ice upon order. The coffee itself was just okay; lacked the robustness I was hoping for, feeling a tad watered down. I probably wouldn't return for coffee, but perhaps I'd give their banh mi or other treats a shot next time. read more

Bussin' down frfr. Got a viet iced coffee and a pork banh mi. Ooooo boi, stop playing with me, was so good. The lady in there was nice too, idk if she's the owner but service was prompt and friendly. Good prepared p fast too. read more

Great hole in the wall place. Lady in the front is attentive, just be ready to order. They always run out of the good donuts and pastries by 9 am. Get there early. read more

A lot of different options which makes it good for breakfast a snack or lunch. They are super friendly and plenty of seating.

Amazing Vietnamese coffee!! Very quick and friendly staff- i highly recommend popping in this place for a quick bite or drink

Awesome little spot. Was in line at the filmore for a show. Delicious sandwhich, cold drinks. Friendly workers

Order the & croissant, Vietnamese coffee . Nice friendly service, didn't take long and very fresh. I will return

Les Croissants is located right near the intersection of Geary and Fillmore streets, and after walking past it several times, I decided to give it a try. I was craving a donut, and they did offer a selection of donuts and other assorted baked goods. This seems like the place where you go if you are looking for a quick breakfast or to get your cup of coffee on the run. Unfortunately, my donut was stale as all get out. I'm not sure if it was a donut from the day before, or maybe they don't make donuts on sight; in any case, even though my pastry was a relatively cheap purchase, the fact that it was not fresh (and that it seemed somewhat pricier than what I could get at a comparable donut shop) will mean that I probably will not be back. read more

While I was working out in the Financial District, I had always wanted to pop in on their Embarcadero location to see what they had. I never had the chance to go in and started working out in the Fillmore District. As luck would have it, there is a Les Croissants on Geary and Fillmore! I ordered a lox and cream cheese bagel for $5.35 (a STEAL when you're used to paying $8+ for lox and cream cheese) and was extremely impressed by their other menu options; croissant breakfast sandwiches, bagel breakfast sandwiches, donuts, pastries, Vietnamese iced coffee, banh mi, and boba. I will be back for more! read more

No frills donut and banh mi shop. Usually a one woman shop. Their boba is too sweet for me despite adjusting the sweetness level so I would skip that but their banh mi sandwiches are good. For now, they are only open weekdays. read more

Les Crossants Cafe sells everything but froyo/ice cream: -banh mi, bages, donuts, crossaints, expressos, crossaint sammies. coffee: "american's best", passed eats: glazed donuts and maple old fashioned (.95) -glaze was melt in ur mouth, old fashioned pretty good. -not much selection in donuts. sold out? 4 stars crumbs: -not sure of rest of offerings -can't believe they make everything themself -very friendly, fast service with a smile. read more

Hole in the wall -- awesome place for some inexpensive, no-frills, simple drip, no bull**** coffee and a donut to go (especially enjoyed the cinnamon crumble). Yeah, the pastries don't seem fresh-off-the-press as if someone in the back is constantly punching out new dough, but the portions are enormous (the donut themselves look like they're on steroids) but everything is so cheap and so worth the money. I spent approximately 5 dollars on a cup of coffee and two donuts -- a hearty breakfast that I was also able to share. I'll come back for the bahn mi next time. read more

Not a bad little stop to grab a quick banh mi. The service is a bit slow because there's usually only one person working. The boba tea is okay, but I would recommend Boba Guys down the road if you want boba. Cleanliness is sort of there. No wifi, few outlets and parking is impossible. I would only stop by if I get off at the bus stop nearby. read more

I went back here only because I saw a Bunn Mi sign right front of the store. I thought the owner has been changed. I made a big mistake again. It smells like you are in a peep show. Do you know WTF peep show is? It's a small little room private adult movie theatre that you have to pay to get in. It used to be one on Geary Blvd between Pork and Vanness. I think it was 25 cents for a few minutes, about 30 years ago. There was a Pussycat theatre on Market Street and 6th Street, 5 bucks for 2 movies. Let's not get into too much info for WTF was inside of peep show, shall we? But I am talking about that the smell inside of peep show, in general speaking. It smells pine sol. But they, I mean who happen to be working at peep show, they have to clean up very often, that makes the whole store smells pine sol. It is very annoying smell. It's very strong smell that you don't even feel like watching porn. If you don't like feeling watching porn, would you fell like eating something? Am I been too ridiculously to concern about the feeling? Well, it shuts my appetite down, because It still makes me remember a incident that my friends took me to the peep show on Geary about 30 years ago. But I could not do it because the smell. The friends went in there, so I had to wait out side until they finished. Finished what? Let's not get into too much detail, shall we? The Bunn-mi was under-average. The baguette was too hard. But the peep show-pine sol-smell killed me. Also, it took her about 10 minutes to make 1 bunn-mi, while i was waiting, i just looked around thinking something to away from the smell, there were many old looking donuts and there were old looking already made turkey sandwich that the color of the turkey was gray. And I saw already made egg-salad sandwich right next to it. I don't think the glass-case was refrigerate. Walgreen's ready made sandwich looks better than this. I don't know. A real dumpy place, is making a jackass "KaKa" bunn-mi and smells. I made a big mistake and waste money, period. read more

My buddy turned me onto this place. I'm all about the nasty breakfast and it delivered. I did the eggs, sausage, and grits. My buddy got hooked up with waffle, eggs, and toast. Everything was really good. The only thing I was not feeling was the creamy grits. Grits are a vessel for butter and salt...the cream thing throws them off and it's super heavy. I likes my grits plain son! Next time I go, I'm all about the waffles. What I really like is the location. I usually don't go to Western Addition unless I want to rock some Addidas at Harputs or something. Now, I can go get a nasty breakfast, buy some kicks and go check out other stores on the south side of Fillmore. I'm glad that neighborhood is coming up. UPDATE: ok, I had the waffles. They are not light and fluffy Belguim style waffles. They are tasty and will stick to your ribs. I think they would be better with real maple syrup...BYOS! read more

got peach tapioca and tasted exactly like you would expect it would. tapioca was old but like boba isn't their main thing so who cares. but at $3.50, including boba it was actually a good deal so if you want a smoothie come here instead of joe & the juice. but if you want boba just go to boba guys all in all though pretty good read more

Do not sleep on the banh mi here!!! It's seriously the best in the neighborhood. The banh mi comes complete with head cheese and a lovely smothering of pate. I only wish they opened on weekends so I could order from there more. read more

Ugh i wish i trusted the Yelpers and didnt come here this morning. Such bad customer service!! I ordered a egg and cheese croissant and went to fill my tea. Not knowing that the customer behind me ordered a plain croissant. Naturally i turned around and took his plain croissant, took a bite, only to realize its not mine. I went and explained to the cashier, and she insisted that she cant exchange a new one for the other customer! I ended up buying a new one for that customer but this experience ruined my morning. I will never come back here again. UPDATE: now i am eating my egg and cheese, i regret more. The croissant is chewy and taste and its 3 days old! WTF! The egg and cheese is meh. My breakfast is officially ruined. I shouldnt have cheated on my routine protein drink :( read more

Stopped in for a quick breakfast and was not disappointed. The service was quick and food very good. I had the eggs and bacon with grits. Being from the South, I would like to think I am a total grits snob. I have found getting good grits outside of the South has been problematic. I was SHOCKED that this tiny, little place behind the MUNI stop had OUTSTANDING grits. Amazing. If it was 95 degrees, muggy with humidity around 95%, and not a flush toilet within 20 miles, I could have been in Alabama. UPDATE: I tried the grits again on another day and they were just as good, so the first serving proved not to be a fluke. read more

Great customer service, the owner is so sweet and makes the most mouth watering sandwiches love this place!

Happy to find this place. A delicious cheap food alternative to Fillmore st. The lady behind the counter is very sweet and makes delicious banh mi. A great find! Minus a star for no wifi and no outdoor seating. read more

Anytime I see croissant in the name of a restaurant, I come a runnin'! This particular time it led me to an incredible cafe that offers much more than tasty croissants... though they certainly offer plenty of those! This place is breakfast heaven; croissants, doughnuts, breakfast entrees, killer omelets, bagels, expressos and coffee, etc. etc. If you're like me and drawn in by the name with a mouth watering for a tasty croissant I have to recommend the ham and cheese croissant sandwich. A warm, freshly made masterpiece of a sandwich on a buttery, crisp croissant with delicious ham and melted cheese that starts any day off right.. or is an amazing bite to eat whenever they're open! If you're in the area and craving tasty breakfast food, swing by Les Croissants Cafe and stretch that dollar stuffing your face. read more

The first time I went here with my roommate, I was so impressed... I got a Denver omelet and it was maybe the best I've ever had. I completely forgot about being on smelly, noisy Geary boulevard... forgot about the weird non-decor of the little cafe... and we both said we would come back here all the time! Sadly, the 2nd time I went (this time with my boyfriend) my breakfast was gross... my scrambled eggs were runny and tasted sulfuric, my potatoes were gross... ick. My boyfriend didn't really like his french toast, either, and said the coffee was horrible. So, I'm not sure whether I'll give this place a 3rd try. At least the servers were very friendly. read more

Ham and cheese croissant sandwich. Very nicely done, the egg was not overcooked and had a little runniness to it. Ham was luncheon meat and american cheese. Not gourmet, but okay. The coffee was a typical diner brand, not worth the price. Next time, I will have a full breakfast. read more

Not too far of a walk from my office, about a 5 minute walk (one way). I've been here once and I plan on returning ! The banh mi is good. I ordered the chicken teriyaki banh mi. However, their selection is pretty limited. They do have a banh mi w/ imitation meat for those that are vegetarian or vegan. read more

The pate pork sandwich was delicious. The baguette was nicely toasted and the pate and carrots were seasoned well.
