BommySeptember 13, 2016Cheesecake is one of the best, and unlike any others. It's light, fluffy, and smooth with a speculoos crust. Comes out around 10-11am, and is expensive at $6 a slice. Recommend eating it at room temp.
Dominic FerraroFebruary 16, 2016Great neighborhood bakery! The croissants and tarts are always good and they server sight glass coffee! Lotsy of space to sit down. Perfect SoMa bakery for light and bright morning coffee + pastries.
Start your morning with a breakfast foccacia and pastry along with unlimited refills on your coffee as you sit on the bleachers and people watch! Inspiration will kick in for the day!
Adrian PhillipsJanuary 19, 2016Perfect for breakfast. Great espresso only matched by its delicious selection of quiche, egg focaccia & pastries. There's no wi-fi so come here to read, enjoy the space & check out the kitchen at work
Luke BornheimerFebruary 26, 2016Beautiful space with high ceilings, good (Sightglass) espresso drinks, unique fruit-based seltzer drinks and, the stars of the show, high-quality French pastries, savory items and entrees, all pricey.
Heba-I-amSeptember 5, 2017I know my coffee and this place has one of the best. Don't miss out on the baked goods! This mocha croissant set a new standard for me when it comes to croissants lol. Finger licking good.
Rachel FangSeptember 29, 2016Great space, almost hipster like Melbourne Australia. Lovely croissanterie items (hazelnut croissant was delish, berry Danish too), range of quiches, tarts (fruit, espresso creme etc) and foccacias.
PatrickJanuary 23, 2018Absolute happy place and definitely a hipster wonderland. Go for a filled croissant (e.g. mocha croissant) if you wanna land in food heaven! 👌🏻
My new favorite bakery in town. Amazing pastries, quiches, tartes and coffee. Great for casual meetings or enjoying a great breakfast or lunch with friends and family. Highly recommended!
amazing!! the donuts, pastries, entree (eggs benny pictured), coffee, environment. Very spacious and cute. love this place!
Ugur KanerNovember 10, 2016Amazing atmosphere, very well designed interior with wood and concrete. Relatively over priced, but delicious food. Good pick for dates.
Luke BNovember 17, 2016Gourmet sweet and savory pastries: great for breakfast, coffee dates, and light reading. Might ask to have your pastry warmed a little longer than standard as mine was cold in the middle.
EaterNovember 16, 2015Sweet and savory tarts, warm jelly doughnuts, Sightglass coffee, and modernized "California feel," danishes made with basil custard and red rhubarb.
Marine SergentMarch 25, 2018Great atmosphere with this open space and kitchen, drip coffee is refillable and food was delicious. Nice spot to work, although no free wifi.
Spacious and nicely designed shop, serving Sightglass coffee and lots of pastries and small bites!
Jenny JMay 29, 2018The cheesecake is the bomb, while the cold brew might actually put you in the hospital for being too damn caffeinated! (Bonus: They do company events!)
My avocado toast and latte was $20~...but it’s okay! It’s San Francisco! But seriously tho...the 🥑 toast was amazing...so are their ☕️ . ❤️ this place!
Zach ScottAugust 15, 2017Mushroom flatbread was great, though larger than I needed it to be! Quiche With fennel, broccoli and bacon came in second between the two.
- Fabio T.June 15, 2018Everything is delicious! So well crafted and put together. The quiches are soo good. Avo toast is a little pricey but worth it. Get something sweet too, amazing croissants!!
Claudio CerasoliDecember 29, 2018Love This Place , a lot of light coming in, spacious, the egg nog croissant is incredible, Fried egg Sandwich and Cheese Cake are a Must!
Carly DahlJanuary 4, 2017Broccoli fennel quiche not super flavorful, but the plum danish was incredible - flaky, creamy, just a bit tart. Tea selection truly unique, and the space is beautiful.
Sonia SJanuary 24, 2017definitely a place I want to return to. would be perfect if they had wifi but still a very cool place to chill and enjoy your coffee and food
Yotam TroimFebruary 14, 2019Great coffee (not acidic at all!) Turmeric monkey bread and orange zest and za’atar croissant are delicious
Incredible HUGE space with some delicious quiche, pizza and baked goods. Nice addition to Howard Street/SOMA
Best drip coffee in SF. Not too bitter, relaxing and served at the perfect temperature.
Martin HeckoAugust 14, 2015The cream filled doughnuts are delicious. Crispy, yet not overwhelmingly sweet. The cream is delicious.
Run by an Aussie! Good space and delicious quiche & doughnuts 🍩☕️
David HallJune 2, 2018Yeah, the almond croissant is delicious. Grab a coffee with it and enjoy your morning.
- Really cool space with high ceilings. A great place to relax and enjoy lunch. 👌
Barry WiebeJuly 29, 2016Quiche Lorraine! If you can get past the croissants and donuts! And the have Sightglass coffee - love to see the local collaboration!
Jaryd CarolinNovember 19, 2018The green tea with lemongrass, pinã and barley tastes like cupcakes. Yes it’s a tea that tastes like a cupcake. It’s amazing, try it!
So many favorite items, I love their croissant, donut and cheesecake! The cake has fluffy cheese top with cookie crumb bottoms.
Quiche is amazing, pastries too. Anything you get won't disappoint you!- Where to start! Love this place, cheese cake is da best! Haven't try all of menu items yet but so far so good!
Super delicious croissants and big cups of coffee. It's never crowded when I go, so I love having coffee chats here over Sightglass.
Really beautiful space, very well designed. Pastries are great. The granola, avocado toast, and pizza are favs.
Arezou KeshavarzNovember 26, 2017I liked the custard in the croissants and the donuts, it’s delicious! Also liked the mole lentils and the tomato quiche.
Get one of their pizza breads, it’s a great snack or breakfast. Ask them to warm it up for you
Rohan DsouzaNovember 20, 2015Great coffee, and fantastic selection of tarts and other baked items. Nice open space to get some work done as well.
Tracy CheungSeptember 4, 2016very spacious and breathable atmosphere! Try the hazelnut brittle tart :)

Tim NugmanovDecember 28, 2017We got eggs benedict, avocado toast, egg sandwich and a croissant. All of the food was amazing but the coffee was okay.
m dMarch 7, 2016Cool place to chill out. Very nice staffs offer tasty tarts and coffee. Interior is also worth ti try.
Beautiful, clean, spacious and friendly. Cheesecake and pepperoni focaccia are musts.
