- 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.
- Marisa LownApril 7, 2016Yes, 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 :)
- Yulia ZiNovember 6, 2016I 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
- Adrian PhillipsOctober 18, 2015Tasty 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.
- Whiskey PatriotApril 22, 2019Of 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.
- Jamie DunnAugust 8, 2014Great 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.
- Travel + LeisureNovember 30, 2012Pastry 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, 2016Yes, 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.
- jennifer hanFebruary 24, 2016go 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.
- 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.
- AFAR MediaAugust 12, 2014It 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, 2014The 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.
- Violet SteinMarch 21Beautiful 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!!!
- David RApril 3, 2017My 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, 2014Perhaps 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, 2013I 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.
- Spoon UniversityMay 6, 2016They 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, 2017delicious, indulgent pastries, of both the sweet and savory variety. my favorite was the hazelnut chocolate financier.
- Jessa ClarkJanuary 8, 2013The 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, 2014While 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, 2017Rebel Within Muffin - best muffin I've ever tasted. It's filling but very savory and delicious.
- BommyJanuary 24, 2015The 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, 2014The 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.
- Kunal PatelSeptember 11, 2014Unfortunately 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, 2013Pastry 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, 2017Really 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, 2015Very cute coffee shop in Mission. Nice coffee and delicious pastry. The chocolate croissant stack was die for. :)
- YasminDecember 19, 2012Gorgeous 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!
- CocoNovember 17, 2013The 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, 2014Rotating menu with a yummy seasonal options. If you get a chance try the pop tart. It's fantastic.
