Love the Rebel Within muffin here. And the desserts always look divine - true artistry. Service is spotty; elitist attitude all around today from the cashier & the pastry bagger.

Mad scientist/baker William Werner's masterpiece, the Rebel Within, captures a soft boiled egg within a savory, sausage-studded cake. It's served with a tiny vial of Tabasco salt for added oomph. Read more

Yes, The Rebel Within is great (as everyone says) but I feel their caramels are underrated. Smoked butter and sea salt? Yes please! And they are also available to purchase online :)

I have been coming here since the beginning and the quality stands strong. Best looking pastries in town are also delicious and are a great reason to stop by anytime every time. Hip decor, A+ coffee

Tasty Cold Brew. Had the rebel which is a savory, cheesy muffin with an egg inside. Be sure to have it heated up. Go easy on the Tabasco salt as I overdid it & made things a little salty.

Of course the rebel within is the highlight to have, but also the matcha latte w/almond milk makes a great compliment! I’ve been coming here for a while now & it’s always a favorite when I’m in SF!

For breakfast, get The Rebel Within (muffin w an egg baked inside) with a side of Tabasco salt or the quiche! For something sweet, their Kouigh Amman is wonderfully light with a sugar crust.

Great spot but busy, so even better if you hit it at the right time to grab a seat and avoid a line! Decided to try the Rebel Within on my first visit, loved it even though the price makes it a treat.

Every baked item here, be it thai scone (green curry with ginger) or roasted banana cake with coconut glaze or black sesame mandarin chocolate mouse cake, is a must try with a cup of coffee. Love it.

The Rebel Within manages to capture a soft boiled egg within a savory, sausage-studded cake. It's served with a tiny vial of salt for an added oomph, and takes breakfast to a whole new level. Read more

Pastry chef William Werner distinguishes himself from the pack with croissants glazed with passion fruit and sesame seeds and semolina cake studded with candied corn nuts.
Yulia ZiApril 24, 2016
Yes, it's a must spot when in SF. Yes, it's gorgeous on many levels: interior, food and pastry concepts, and most importantly a cup of coffee fix that always guaranteed to be perfect.

go earlier in the day if you want to catch the rebel within; they sell out often. other pastries are all delicious. i always bring some on the plane ride home and they're still yums a day or so after.

A housemade English muffin cushions a frittata with seasonal greens, smoked ham from 4505 Meats, roasted onions and two slices of smoked cheddar. Just look at the meltiness. Read more

It’s most famous for its “Rebel Within” savory muffin with a full soft boiled egg inside. And it’s a good sources of Japanese Milk Bread. But honestly it’s all good, just a little expensive.

It was a tough decision with choices from the very savory green curry-flavored scone to the very sweet chocolate croissant stack. I settled on the lavender caramel semolina cake and was satiated. Read more

The rebel muffin is a must. A savory delicious morsel of flavor and texture. "Muffin" base has cheese, bacon/pancetta, green onions, & of course the runny egg. YUM!

I dream about the Rebel Within every night that I'm not in San Francisco. (Don't be turned off by it's price -- it's breakfast/brunch/snack all in one muffin and worth every penny).

Can't really ever go wrong with anything they serve here. Everything is a surprise and delight.
CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014
The selection of sweet and savory treats looks so much like art that we felt like we were in a small museum. Everything was fresh and we got to devour the masterpieces. Don’t miss the Black

All the food options are like art in here, beautiful flavors and presentation. I like C&W way better than Tartine. No wifi or outlets though.

Beautiful place with top-notch service! The pastries were too good to be true, and just when I thought it couldn't get any better, their Croissant stole my heart. My overall experience was great!!!

My favorite bakery in the Mission. You'll find more locals here than Tartine. Rebel Within and the desserts are fantastic and original.

Best fruit and granola in the mission. The fruit is fresh, seasonal and always changes. The granola is nice and crunchy and not too sweet.
Jimmy HookerAugust 7, 2014
Perhaps one of the most hipster places in the mission (which is saying a lot, the name of this place... wtf), but the Rebel Within is worth the hype. It's delicious and worth the visit.
Alex LongJuly 8, 2013
I am an oatmeal cookie connoisseur and have eaten them all over the Bay Area. The oatmeal apricot cookies here are a twist on a nostalgic yet classic cookie:. chewy, sweet, salty, spicy, nutty. Yum.

A cup of hot cocoa here is so thick that it would be a disservice to do anything but savor it slowly.Each cup is served on a wooden block with homemade dark chocolate spearmint marshmallows. Read more

They take the mundane breakfast muffin to a whole new level. What's the secret? Baking a soft-boiled egg within the muffin. Your followers will be drooling at the sight of that yolk seeping out. Read more

Muffin with egg inside is delicious but really filling. Also a bit pricey. IIRC, ~$6-7 for this?

The smoked cheddar and hot pepper gougere is heaven. Next time I order it, I'm toasting it up and putting some butter on it. This is the best bakery I've ever been to!
Chad HornerNovember 27, 2017
delicious, indulgent pastries, of both the sweet and savory variety. my favorite was the hazelnut chocolate financier.

It's the quality and creativity here that makes it standout. Check out the truly artful box cakes in individual and large sizes, always featuring interesting flavor combinations. Read more

The pastries are delicious and the sipping caramel is out of this world, but be warned- there is no wifi. This is especially problematic because the reception here (for AT&T at least) is really poor.
Luke BornheimerAugust 13, 2014
While the prices are steep, the pastries are unique and delicious. The scones and quiche are consistently solid, and the Rebel Within is for the adventurous meat-eater.
Fernando GomezSeptember 8, 2017
Rebel Within Muffin - best muffin I've ever tasted. It's filling but very savory and delicious.
BommyJanuary 24, 2015
The rebel within is obviously a must try. Roasted banana bread with coconut glaze travel cake is moist and not too sweet. Delicious with a cup of coffee.

Beautiful, delicious pastries, gorgeous interior & Hitachino beer. If I could date a pastry place it would be this one
Elaine CourtneyJune 3, 2014
The Rebel Within is a must-try - may be a tad on the oilier side but definitely scrumptious. It sells out fast, so go early if you want yours piping hot and fresh.

Try the afternoon tea here and sample hipster versions of English classics. Only offered M-F afternoons and requires online reservations.

Unfortunately for vegetarians, The Rebel Within contains breakfast sausage. However, the market quiche was a nice consolation prize, with some crunchy sides to balance out its fluffiness.
Natalie LinJanuary 13, 2013
Pastry chef William Werner's The Rebel Within (poached egg baked into a savory muffin) never disappoints. Finish off with Sipping Caramel, served with caramelized crisps for genteel dunking.
Srikanth RajuSeptember 25, 2017
Really the pinnacle of millennial foolery. Small pieces of mildly delicious breakfast cost an obscene amount. Go one block and get real nutrition on mission st
Jana BeranovaFebruary 12, 2015
Very cute coffee shop in Mission. Nice coffee and delicious pastry. The chocolate croissant stack was die for. :)
YasminDecember 19, 2012
Gorgeous presentation of pastries. Everything almost looks too good to eat. Beautiful space, too. Perfect fit for laid-back but pretentious foodies in the Mission. I say it with love.

Savory tart with really delicious ricotta cheese, sea salt and vegetables on crispy lavash; ocean trout on preserved lemon, pancetta bits and pea puree. Amazing Summer refreshing!

The rebel within is the best! But you will have to get up early cuz those delicious muffins will be gone before noon!

If you're looking for something sweet, the chocolate, marcona almond, and caramel brownie is SO good. Best eaten immediately / served cold.
Tacia ColemanAugust 9, 2014
Rotating menu with a yummy seasonal options. If you get a chance try the pop tart. It's fantastic.

A contemporary patisserie offering a menu of high-end pastries, cakes and more, sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. Not Atkins approved, but worthy of crushing any carb craving. Read more
