I like that along with your drink they provide a small glass with ground beans to enhance your coffee experience. The shop overall is a bit small with only a couple seats inside and a few tables outside. If you want to avoid the smoke smells, I recommend you try to snag an inside seat or take your drink to go. Drinks may take a while depending on what you order but they seem to put a lot of care into making a good cup. The baristas were also really nice and knowledgeable in helping me pick what beans to buy. Next time I'm in the area I'll be back!

Many students as it is near a few schools. Many people bring dogs and if you're a dog person and coffee person this is a great place to relax with a nice cup of coffee. The service was quick and they were really friendly. Food is pretty standard, nothing REALLY jumping out. Typical breakfast food so it can't go wrong! My omelette was nicely cooked and the latte was smooth, not too strong. I recommend it for the atmosphere as it is farther away from the city with less people around. Nice way to spend an afternoon reading there!

Setting is typical coffee shop like, simple but with a trendy touch. Service is quick and friendly. The deluxe breakfast was done nicely, no faults there. The barista knows what he is doing, the coffee drinks are quite well. Inexpensive!

My meal arrived very quickly, but I waited more than 20 minutes for my hot lemon tea to arrive. I then realize they had it on the counter but no waiter/waitress bring me. So I get up and get myself. They should hire more waiter/waitress... when I go there was only 1 or 2.

It was a little bit of a let down, feeling like everything was out of a jar and then the sausage was cold. Apparently this is the way it is supposed to be served but I wasn't so fussed on it. On the other hand their drinks are very well made. And they have lots of options for non coffee or tea drinkers like myself.

Mon dieu! It means…read moreOh. My. Gizzle. Molten yolk / flowing custard croissant 流奶牛角包, shortened to 流奶. It was one of the greatest moments in my mouth during my recent Hong Kong trip. It apparently replaced the pineapple butter croissant, which was basically the classic HK pineapple butter bun, but instead of a bun it was a croissant. This beautiful creation is basically taking the yum cha dim sum "lao sa bao" (flowing salty egg yolk custard steamed bun) but putting regular sweet molten custard inside a perfectly flakey crispy delicate layered croissant. At $22 and from a visitor's standpoint, a really good value for the quality. It may seem like a modern gimmick, but when you taste it, you cannot believe how perfect the fusion became. There was a lot of thought put into this, down to the execution, and the results speak for themselves! Even their standard plain croissant kicked so much ass, and I liked it way better than nearby Le Salon de The Joel Robuchon, which I had a day later and found it to be severely lacking. Apparently Urban Bakery's version (this particular location) comes closest to the Paris experience, and easily outperforms most croissants in San Francisco Bay Area.
