    January '26 menu
    Cat R.

    This place was bustling on a Saturday! Arrived around 11:45 and every table was filled - I saw lots of laptops - although I can't imagine people working peacefully, it's quite loud and lots of families / kids running around. The place is aptly named, it definitely seems like a neighborhood spot to hang. That being said there was no line when I arrived and my drink, the Okinawan Kokuto latte came out quick. As mentioned, I didn't have a place to sit but enjoyed browsing the merch while I waited (not long) for my drink - they have cute apparel with their logo, candles, Japanese spreads, wine, coffee beans and more. Pastries available were from Loquat - another fave, and I think some muffins / donuts from Third Culture. Definitely interested in coming back! My Kokuto latte was the perfect sweetness for me and I'd love to try it hot next time as well as one of their sandwiches - might just have to get there earlier to snag a seat!

    The cutest little coffee shop that feels like a true neighborhood gem! It's not on a busy street but instead nestled smack in the middle of a neighborhood with houses on either side. Adorable find. It is Japanese inspired so you will find menu items such as sandos, hojicha latte, black sesame latte, mochi muffins, etc. with basic items as well. I enjoyed the Tokyo fog latte and breakfast sandwich here! I also tried hojicha latte for the first time, this wasn't my favorite (personally) although it was made well with good hojicha flavor and nuttiness. It does get crowded and hard to find a seat -- really a neighborhood favorite where people come to work or chat and stay for a while!

    Really like this coffee shop. Super small and it's hard to get a seat. But I love it when I do! I love their pastries and turkey sandwich. Love the black sesame latte as well. Make sure to show up early if you want a seat. Great to have meetings virtually for work!

    Black sesame matcha and cortado
    Kelly A.

    Super cute hidden gem in San Francisco in residential area close to twin peaks! Tried the black sesame matcha and cortado. Both were pretty good. The black sesame matcha had good black sesame flavor. It had a bit of an oily from the black sesame flavoring but it wasn't off putting. Just towards the end of the drink it got grainy and a little displeasing to finish. The cortado was fragrant, strong, and flavorful. Really delicious. They have pastries from the midwife and baker, loquat, and mochi muffins from third culture bakery. We got the carrot cake and matcha mochi muffins and they were really good. I wish they had savory pastries but all the ones they had were sweet. Their sandwich menu sounded a bit basic and was pricey so we opted out. The place was packed when we got there around 11am on a Wednesday, but we were lucky enough to get a table with outlets. So many people were doing work here. Had good sunlight and natural lighting with great modern aesthetics and vibes. Clean and reliable cafe good for productivity. I think it would also be nice for a casual catch up with friends as a few people were also hanging out and chatting. I didn't mind the background noise as I worked. I would recommend checking this place out! I had a really good experience and would definitely love to come back.

    Cute spot to work! They have free wifi and plenty of seating, drinks, and food options. I didn't love the iced black sesame matcha I got (a bit too watery, matcha flavor wasn't strong, and not super sweetened) but I loved the pork belly sandwich! It had very flavorful pork belly, mayo, cucumbers, and brioche bread. It didn't taste too heavy and was a perfect light lunch. The vibe inside was quieter in the morning around 11am but got louder around 1-2pm. They allow laptops as long as you order something every 2 hours. Would definitely come back to try other food options!

    Really cute spot in Euraka Valley! We came on a Saturday morning and they were extremely busy - all the tables were full. My review is more for their strawberry matcha, which was surprisingly very sour and lacked in matcha flavor. I wish they sweetened the strawberries a bit more. Neighbor's Corner also had a wide selection of pastries (mochi muffins from Third Culture). We got an almond croissant, black sesame mochi muffin, and lemon donut - all were good.

    Iced matcha latte and iced hojicha with strawberry

    Using this cafe as a working space for a few hours was a lovely experience. The neighborhood is sweetly walkable with plenty of street parking, the staff is friendly, wifi is good, and seating and outlets are plentiful. That said, the drinks I tried left much to be desired. I had their iced Matcha Latte and tried their Hojicha with strawberry. Both were a bit bland, with the matcha having a bitter grassy flavor that couldn't be disguised with more sweetener. I also tried two of their mochi muffins (gluten free!) and greatly enjoyed the sesame flavor. If I am in the area again and drop by, I would want to try one of their hot teas instead.

    I absolutely love this place. It is one of my go-to cafe's in the city, especially since I am always in the Castro. The service is absolutely amazing. All the baristas that I have encountered are super nice. While I haven't tried everything on the menu, I can say that I do enjoy a lot of the drinks that they offer since I come here often. I would say everything that I have tried is really good. The pastries as well. The most critical I have to say is about the cappuccino. The cappuccino overall was okay for the day I had it. The espresso seamed to be dialed in to have a more medicinal notes, giving the cappuccino an aftertaste of Ricola Original Herb cough drops -- not my favorite. The milk I would say was also served too hot for normal cappuccino temperatures which may have contributed to the overall taste. I still enjoyed the drink, as this was not enough for me to reduce my rating. All other drinks I had were iced, so temperature had never been a problem and every drink that I had prior to this experience has been 10/10. This place is also really good for working. There are outlets in the corner, and internet is provided. I love the vibe of the cafe. The interior feels so welcoming, just as the staff.

    I love the place, the ambience but it's very disappointing when cashiers make you feel unwelcome- I always think people gotta have great costumer service when applying to this jobs. Be happy this world has plenty of cruelty already. I'll keep coming because coffee is good. Cheers Edit: After I got my coffee walked to my destination, once there I open my pastry bag and guess what? Yeap didn't get what I asked for. I gave it a try (because I didn't want to go back) but it wasn't my type. So I'm sad and stuck with a pastry I didn't ask for- sure ruined my morning coffee

    Veggie club
    Shell J.

    A neighborhood joint for coffee, tea and small bites, with a nice Japanese twist. Price is a bit steep, although the quality of foot and drink is great. Probably not the best value, but for the convenience, as it opens early, 7am Mon to Friday, 8am on the weekends.

    On my lunch break and ordered a turkey club (turkey, tomato, cucumber, mayo, avocado, and lettuce) on toasted seeded bread. Everything was fresh and prepared perfectly. I sat outside and enjoyed some sun, due to the limited space. Great vibes and staff. Will return if I'm ever again in the area.

    Turkey club sandwich
    Erica Y.

    Had a turkey club sandwich and an iced latte. The greens in the sandwich were so fresh, and the cheese in it matched the flavor profile of the whole sandwich so well. The ambience is super cute. There's little things you can buy, and folks reading books, catching up with each other, and things like that. The service was great! I thought the guy who made my sandwich was so sweet and I could tell he takes pride in his work!

    Black sesame matcha latte
    Naomi S.

    Tried a black sesame matcha latte for the first time here and it was delicious. Nice spot with lots of folks on their laptops. Sadly they were out of mochi muffins that day, but they had some other pastries that looked good. Would definitely come back.

    This was the one place I wanted to visit while in SF. It was amazing, but there is so much hype it…read morewas hard to temper my expectations!!! There are three Arsicault locations, but this is the original, opened in 2015 (or so the internet told me). Our hotel was closer to the Tenderloin location, but that area wad sketchy. The line was 15 people long, but moved incredibly fast. The menu is on the front glass window (no prices,). Once you enter, you can see the pastries and corresponding prices. Unfortunately, you enter when it's your time to order, pay grab your food, and then leave. We went twice and our whole interaction was less than a minute per trip!!! We had many things and there were only winners. If you don't want to spend $60 like we did, here are my thoughts on what we tried. Croissants: the almond was the winner by a long shot!!! I liked the ham and cheese, but only if you need a savory option. Chocolate chip croissants are not my favorite, but my daughter ate the whole thing and loved it. The almond chocolate chip had too much going on and it's the only one I would not recommend. The kouign amann is delicious and worth getting. The morning bun is good, but only if you want a bit of citrus flavor (orange zest). The monkey bread was good, but after all the other pastries, it didn't stand out. It seemed similar to the kouign amman in retrospect and I'd need another side by side to really sort out the differences. The chocolate chip cookie is delicious, but beware that it is salted. My son wasn't a fan, but the rest of us liked it. A bonus if you go the Richmond Ariscault -- it's next door to Breck's, a great coffee shop that has seating. Looks like most Arsicault customers grabbed their pastries and went next door to get coffee and sit down. We followed suit and it was a perfect pairing. After our pastries, we went to Golden Gate to walk off the meal. An epic morning!!!

The storefront is small so you pretty much walk inside to tell them what you want, pay, and get your pastries to go. No place to sit; only drip coffee offered. The croissants are crunchy on the outside and flaky on the inside. One of the best croissants in San Francisco. They don't offer a huge selection of pastries but the more popular ones are the croissants and Kouign Amann. With the croissants they offer a number of variations including almond, chocolate, ham and cheese. They also sell scones but I would stick with the croissants in my opinion.

    I absolutely love this place. I am lucky enough to live within walking distance and have been here…read morethree times in the last few months. This most recent time I arrived just before opening and waited about an hour and a half for my delicious strawberry roll. If I had got there earlier, I think the line would've been only about 20 to 30 minutes so if you are an early bird they allow you to line up anytime after around 7:45 AM. I listened to a new album and great podcast while I was in line, it can be a great solo activity and makes the wait go by fast! I also enjoy talking to the people around me about whether or not they've been here yet and hearing what their favorite items are or what they're excited to try. This time I met someone who had brought their family member all the way from Mexico to try! I think a lot of the people who are frustrated don't understand that there will be a wait. The owner has explained on her Instagram that the reason they cannot simply bake more is because they are not baking pastries that are designed for bulk creation. They are all handmade small batch goods that simply cannot be made in large quantities. I think when you go into it understanding that it's going to be an experience that more often than not comes with a wait time it is much more enjoyable. I did see some teenagers show up with their parents who immediately seemed like they did not want to get in the line. The thing about lines though is that typically if there is a consistent line somewhere that means it's good! I really admire the parents that did wait with their kids because it is worth it! We all need a little bit of whimsy in our life and these goods and the wonderfully magical people who work there make my day a little brighter each time I go in. The shop itself is decorated so well, you can tell that the cookbooks and tools are not just props on the shelf. They are actually used. There are also a couple glittery surprises that I will leave for you to find out... I cannot recommend this little bakery enough. If you are in San Francisco, even just for a day, add it to the top of your list and start your day with a treat you won't be able to find anywhere else.

The namesake Pistachio Cardamom croissant was excellent for a filled croissant. It had excellent layers and the cream was just enough to add a lusciousness to each bite that wasn't too heavy. The madame lorraine was my other favorite. It was meaty and rich with the soft baked runny yolk and the light touch of rosemary was just enough to accentuate the bite. The not as good...a standard butter croissant. Maybe we got a dud but there was a serious lack of layers in ours and it wasn't as crisp or as buttery as I like. The elote corn croquiche filling was also quite salty which was a shame because the pastry layer was pretty good. I still have two more pastries to try but given the weight and the mixed bag, I definitely expected a lot more from Butter & Crumble. Pro tip: get a butter croissant at Arsicault, walk to B Patisserie and get a kouign amann. You'll have both before the line moves here.

I've been here a few times and this time I remembered to take photos of the pastries before digging in!

The savory pastries were packed with flavor, and the ube croissant struck the perfect balance of sweetness without being overpowering. I also love that they offer unique pastries you don't find at most bakeries. The café itself is small and cozy, and the staff were warm and friendly. It's usually packed, but we arrived at the perfect time and were able to grab everything we wanted before they sold out. We'll definitely be back to try more of their delicious pastries!

My husband got in line while I waited outside. It's on the first floor of the Japan Center Malls and easy to find in the corner. While the line was long it moved quickly and we ended up ordering two drinks and a few pastries. We had the drinks right away and I enjoyed their honeycomb toffee latte ($8.25) while my husband ordered a flavored lemonade. The Honeycomb latte wasn't overly sweet and the honeycomb on top was a nice treat. The honeycomb itself was sweet and crunchy and you can either pick it out and eat it or stir it into your drink and let it melt. The lemonade my husband ordered was on the sweeter side, but was super refreshing for summer. If you like sweet you'll like this- if you prefer less sweet or tart it may not be for you. We also brought home a few of their pastries. All of them were fresh and well made. The basque cheesecake was creamy and satisfying without being overly sweet. The chocolate chip cookie had dark chocolate and was really rich and satisfying. The last pastry I forget the name of but it was like a cinnamon roll but with an orange glaze and some cocoa powder, this one was also delicious and not overly sweet. They had some savory options that were sold out when we visited and we would definitely visit again to try those and more items from the menu. We can see why this spot is so popular.
