really good pastries! fun flavors and really fresh, deep buttery flavor. standouts were the hazelnut blackberry croissant, which was really delicious and crispy. the hazelnut is honestly pretty hard to taste within the croissant, but i tend to like twice baked pastries more due to their drier texture. the galette was pretty standard, kind of like a flatbread or any type of farmers pizza. the apple turnover was pretty disappointing. the puff pastry was flaccid and moist, without much crisp or flake, and the apple inside was not that fresh or unique. would go again, but not the best
Probably the best croissants I've ever had. I was in town for the weekend and our friends wanted to show us this place. When we arrived a little bit before noon, there was a long line outside, past the front gates, but it moved pretty quickly. We got the Plain, Blackberry, Ham & Cheese, Almond, and Chocolate Croissants. I also got a hot Sencha Green Tea to wash them down. All of them were amazing. Although, since I'm a more savory person I liked the ham and cheese the best out of all of them. The blackberry was also amazing. The chocolate is a honorable mention because I've never had a chocolate croissant with so much chocolate inside. A lot of people take their orders to go but there are a few tables inside and outside. We were lucky that a group left right when we started looking for a spot so we snagged it right up. It was pretty crowded inside and the tables are a bit cramped. Literally everything that they had on display looked really good but my stomach is only so big. The only reason I was able try all those flavors was because we split each one between 5 people. By the time I tried all of the flavors that we ordered, I was full. The next time I'm up in SF again I'll definitely be making this a stop multiple times throughout my visit and maybe take some back home.
My gold standard for great pastries; "but are they as good as Ariscault?" The kouign amann is an experience. Somehow, the line and the anticipation are part of the process.
They're so flaky. But in a good way. Winner of Bon Appétit magazine's Best New Bakery in America (2016), this is still the gold standard a decade later. The devil on my shoulder wants to dismiss them as "donuts for girls", but the angel points out that the butter-heavy lamination means the items shatter in paper-thin golden flakes even though the insides are tender and airy. The almond croissant and a chocolate almond croissant were great. The must try is the Kouign Amann because it's sweeter and the caramelized sugar makes it chewy and flaky. The ham and cheese is the perfect breakfast sandwich that doesn't have a Mc in it. The coffee (they partner with local roasters Flywheel Coffee Roasters) was better than average. This location isn't as pretty as it could be. Scuff marks, underused space, dinginess, but having a working, clean bathroom, replenished inventory, and great service makes up for it.
My wife and I stumbled across this spot while walking to the Bart. It looked very lively, so we stopped in. Food not know what to expect. However, we soon learned. All pastries are freshly made back to back. They have a full assortment of every kind to choose from. We decided on a Morning Bun and a plain croissant. They were both soft and yummy. The croissant was very flaky and moist. The bun tasted similar to a cinnamon bun... but even better. My wife had a Vanilla latte and I had a Chai tea with a few accommodations. Thank you to the barista that made our drinks. She is pictured in my pics. She is the one I took a pic with (I had her name. Unfortunately, I misplaced what he name was written on). Iwas especially surprised with my chai tea because it was made perfectly tasty. Thank you girl!!!
Where do all the Gen Z's go? Oh, let me not forget the Millennials! Well, where do they go? They go to Arsicault for their baked goods, especially their croissants. Here is my story: The entrance is very unassuming. There are a few tables if you choose to sit and nibble on your croissants. Not the cheapest around but that lends to my theory of you get what you pay for! The size of the croissant is huge, it will feed two (at least!). Being it was my first visit to Arsicault, I felt trying their basic ordinary croissant would be appropriate, giving me the chance to taste the croissant on its own merit. The croissant as basic as it is, did NOT disappoint. The ratio of butter to flour was smart and precise. My next visit will be to taste their almond croissant... Go there or be square!
I love that I'm walking distance from one of the best almond croissants in the Bay Area. The walk each way is about 12 minutes so it's perfect for that afternoon break to get some fresh air and sunshine. I remember the days when Arsicault only existed on Arguello and the line was hours long. I thoroughly enjoy that they have several locations now and I can get in and out of the store in less than five minutes. This location is much bigger than the original location and has seating inside and done tables outside too.
I fell in love with Arsicault the first time I was introduced. The assortment of baked goods including breads, quiche, croissants, cookies, loaves, kouigns, scone, vegetable galette and apple turnover. The coffee bar turns this bakery into a one stop shop with offerings of espressos, lattes, mocha, tea, cold brew and others. Sandwiches are also available, prepared cold. Within the UN Civic Center Plaza, it is a short walk from Civic Center Bart. Definitely worth a stop on your morning or afternoon commute to pop in, grab some bites then head back out or take a seat in the bakery and enjoy inside or out. The bakery is sectioned off by a gate, so it is kept clean and external to the traffic in the area. With their hours of 8a to 3p daily, it is a perfect breakfast, brunch, lunch, late snack spot. The service is always friendly with smiles and great service. The goods are constantly made throughout the day and replenished regularly. The turnover of the freshly prepared food is high as there is always a line, fast moving, shorter at certain times than others. Definitely worth a visit.
I hit the almond croissant jackpot today! Usually, when I swing by the Dogpatch location in the afternoon, the almond croissants are completely sold out. If I'm lucky, I might snag a plain one, but it's usually a gamble. Today was a total win! I walked in at 2:30 PM and was so surprised to see around a dozen almond croissants just waiting there. As always, they were incredibly flaky, perfectly buttery, and absolutely delicious. 10/10, never disappoint
If you haven't tried this iconic SF bakery, you're missing out. Arsicault has some of the best chocolate croissants I've ever had. They're buttery, rich, and hefty, full of crème. You can order them with almond, chocolate or blackberry, but I personally think you can't go wrong. They've also got kouignamann and cookies which are both pretty good as well. One downside to this location is that it's a bit dirty and it doesn't seem like the staff cleans much inside, although they themselves are fairly friendly.
The pastries here are worth the drive to SF from the South Bay. The kouign amann is always a great, and this time I ordered the blackberry hazelnut croissant as well and Omg. This croissant was the best one I've ever had. I also ordered a savory mushroom quiche and I got one bite. My kid devoured the rest. Definitely getting both of these items again when we're back in the area. The civic center location was fast. From around the gate to ordering took about a 15-20 min wait. So much better than other waits I've done.
I was pleased to find a short line upon my arrival, and I truly appreciated the friendly service provided by your staff. While the chocolate croissant I ordered was delicious, I noticed there were only two pastry options available at the time of my visit. I had heard so much about the bakery so this was very disappointing. I would have loved to see a wider variety of items to choose from during my visit. This is the reason I can only give three stars. Since the weather was pleasant, I thoroughly enjoyed eating on the front patio, which made for a lovely experience overall. Thank you for the great service, and I look forward to visiting again soon.
Don't be intimidated by the line it moves quickly. Pastries are served warm which is quiet amazing when you bite into the chocolate croissant into some warm chocolate not to sweet and pretty rich. Omg the crunchy outer shell yet soft center of the Kougin Amann was amazing. Definitely don't skip this one. Also enjoyed a Mediterranean sandwich which comes on a pretty large baguette (maybe half the size of a full one) and the aioli is perfect. The bread is so yummy I would definitely have this again for a savory bite. Ham and cheese is a keep, the flakiness is perfect, the warmth is amazing, the balance between cheese and ham is perfect. It's pretty crowded inside but is not difficult to get a seat once you've ordered. Coffee is delicious as well!
This place has been raved by so many SF friends, and for good reason! Loves: + Delicious croissants. I liked the ham & cheese one more than the chocolate almond one, as the latter felt very sweet to me + Amazing pastries. I only tried the orange cardamom kouign amann but there were other items like the morning bun that looked delightful and fluffy + Kind and lovely service + Quick moving line + Spacious inside (and possibly outdoors in the summer? looks like they could put many tables out there) While there are multiple locations in the city, the rumors are correct that this one moves fast. Arsicault was a good time and I would gladly go back. :) read more

4.5 out of 5. We noticed a long line and decided to give this bakery a try. The line moved quickly and the service was efficient. The inside was clean but busy, and I appreciated that they offer a bathroom, sink area, and a water station. Both items we ordered were extremely delicious with subtle flavors. The kouign amann was a must try since everyone seemed to be ordering it. It was thick, sweet on the inside, nicely caramelized, and surprisingly light in taste. The almond croissant was excellent. I loved the texture. The outside was very flaky, and the inside was doughy and gooey with rich almond cream. An outstanding pastry. read more

There is a long line going down the street, so you can't miss it. The bakery is full of fresh hot croissants and pastries. Seating is tough but if you are patient, it isnt bad. read more
Simplicity crafted through detail. Delicacy elevated into pure indulgence. Butter croissants; golden, flaky, perfectly layered ; melting effortlessly with every bite. Chocolate croissants rich and balanced, where each fold of pastry embraces the cocoa with elegance. Artisan rolls, delicate pastries, refined small bites... this is not just bakery; it's an experience. And the coffee. Perfect. Aromatic. Intense. Full-bodied. An espresso that awakens the senses and lingers with character; exactly what you expect in a city as discerning as San Francisco. But beyond the flavors, the service. Attentive. Professional. Warm. The kind of hospitality that makes you feel seen, welcomed, and valued; the kind you immediately recognize when you understand true service excellence. I have truly discovered a place in San Francisco where simplicity becomes art, where every detail matters, and where flavor has identity. The Atmospheres Was Unique read more

Definitely worth checking out. My sister-in-law went to Ariscault as soon as they opened and there was quite a line. I met her up after. We took our pastries to union square to eat and chill and it was worth it. Really enjoyed their ham & cheese croissant read more
If you've been to either location you know Arsicault knows how to do baked goods. Still the best croissants I've ever had. Sometimes there is a long line, especially at the other location, but this one is always fairly reasonable. Absolutely nightmare to find parking, but it's worth it. Best to come in pairs so one person can drive around and the other can go get it. I'm sure many transit riders come here and it is so good it is worth the bother. FOOD: Baked goods both savory and sweet. Chocolate almond croissant is the best and big enough to share or save for the next day. Kouign Amann is delicious, also. And try something savory. We love the ham and cheese croissant. Their chocolate chip cookies are good, but their croissants are so terrific it's just not worth it. But they are excellent. SERVICE: Usually good. It might take some time if there's a line, but they are working hard and efficiently inside. Packaged nicely and neatly and the portions are great. COST: Worth it at twice the price. Seriously. Higher than average, but lower than expected. Just so good. read more

Arsicault needs to introduction. I really like this location though, the line is much shorter and it's easy to get to. I ordered a lot of stuff but the staff was really sweet and patient, offering recommendations when I asked. The display is helpful, with everything clearly labeled and super enticing to be honest. It's a little hard to find and the area is obviously not the nicest but it's worth it. This time I tried the blackberry croissant and kouign aman, unfortunately the were cold by the time I got back (really can't blame them for that) but they were still delicious. The blackberry croissant was on the sweeter side. Everyone else loved the pastries as well. read more
The best croissants in the bay!! It's always busy but the line moves fast. The staff work hard to keep pumping out more fresh pastries. This location has some seating as well to enjoy. Chocolate croissant: warm gooey chocolate, excellent texture, so satisfyingly flaky Almond croissant: an amazing balance between a very crispy outside and a light, pillowy inside. The lamination is executed to perfection. The almond filling was very fragrant and yummy, but not overpoweringly sweet. Biting into these croissants might make you question all other croissants you've had before. read more

When I was planning my trip back to SF, I knew I had to come back. I tried a few new things this time around. The pastry of the ham and cheese croissant was amazing. The kouign amann was SO SO good. The crunch from when you bite into it. The butter pastry. Delectable. Delicious. Line at this location moves fast, but it is very packed! And is worth it! read more
I ordered three items here and waited less than 10 minutes. Line moved quickly and staff were friendly. kouign-amann: 3/5. Was first time trying so have nothing to compare it to. It was a lil crispy on the outside but sweet and felt heavy. pretty standard and decent. Ham and cheese croissant: 3.5/5. I got lots of recommendations and heard every person in front of me order this. The croissant is yummy and flakey; however didn't really taste any cheese and ham was tough. Nothing special in my opinion. Almond chocolate croissant: 4/5. Favorite of the three! Very rich and decadent. Best one I've had, would definitely order again. Overall, for being known for croissants they were decent but nothing memorable. This isn't a spot I'd go out of my way to visit or crave. The service here was nice and there was line moved fast quickly at this location, likely because it's in a less desirable area. It didn't feel very comfortable to linger, but if you don't want to wait, this spot is a good option. Otherwise, there are two other locations I've heard are nicer. read more
First time trying Arsicault and it was incredible! Be mindful of this location as parking can be a pain but I got pretty lucky on a Saturday morning. The line wasn't too long and service was super quick -- the assembly line the pastries so it's a fast process. Some nice seating options inside too which is convenient. I got the chocolate almond croissant and you can tell that thing was made with love. Oozing with fresh almond filling and smooth chocolate. The croissant itself was perfectly buttery, flaky and crunchy. Hands down one of the best croissants I've ever had -- so good, I had to grab another one to go! I also got the vanilla latte and it was good but nothing to write home about. I will definitely be back for more croissants when I'm back in SF! read more

First time at this location. The kind is slightly shorter than the other location and it goes just as fast. I do love that this location had a good amount of seating and has coffee options! The service is the same between the two locations - fast and sweet. The pastries were amazing as always. We got the morning bun, chocolate croissant and chocolate almond croissant. read more
Every bit as good as the other two locations! I got the chocolate croissant which a as usual was a great balance of soft, flaky and chewy. Good service and there's plenty of seating inside, along with a patio area outside. The only downside is it's located in one of the sketchiest parts of the city, near the civic center. So it's not the most pleasant experience to be walking around nearby after picking up a bite. But I'm very happy to have other location, especially one closer to the heart of the city! read more
Ordered: Plain Croissant (~$5) Almond Croissant (~$6) Blackberry Almond Hazelnut Croissant (~$7) Kouign Amann (~$6) Aya's take: Arsicault is an SF staple and often noted as having a croissant that's "better than the ones in France" so of course I had to give it a try. We arrived around 8:15am on a Sunday; there were about 10 people in line but it moved quick. By 8:30am, we were already out the door with our pastries. Arsicault has a simpler menu and everything is incredibly fresh! The Plain Croissant was excellent but my favorite item was actually the Almond Croissant. I'm not big on Almond Croissants at all but this is truly the best I've had! It's flaky on the outside and nutty, light, and almost creamy on the inside. It's so balanced and somehow doesn't feel overly heavy or sugary at all. The Blackberry Almond Hazelnut Croissant was a close second! The blackberry spread was delicious but I didn't get any essence of hazelnut. The Kouign Amann was buttery, sweet, and indulgent yet so refined. You can't go wrong with anything here. Solid pastries across the board! read more
A coworker living in San Francisco recommended this spot and said it's a can't miss. I'm fairly skeptical of any place that is described as a can't miss or as a must try on a vacation, but Arsicault lived up to the hype. Even though it's busy, the line moves quickly, the staff is patient, and the tables clear up regularly so I had no trouble getting a seat either of the times I went. They also have a clean bathroom and a courtyard with some seating during warmer weather. I've tried the raisin kouign amann, apricot bostick, and blueberry hazelnut almond croissant and they've all been delicious. The croissant though is what makes this spot live up to the hype. It sounds like a lot of flavors but it works and is hands down the best croissant I've had, so delicious that my brother and I were thinking of it weeks later. One day, my friend (whose family owns a pastry store) said he had a life changing croissant on his trip to SF and I said I did too. When we compared notes, it turned out we were both talking about this specific croissant -- a testament to how amazing this croissant is. read more
I got the Ham and Cheese Croissant and a Cappuccino. The Ham and Cheese Croissant was flaky, buttery, and savory. It felt pretty filling. The Cappuccino was good too, but I would get something sweeter next time. I've tried the Almond Croissant which was also really good but a bit too sweet for me. It was a bit messy with the amount of powdered sugar on top. The Chocolate Chip Cookie was also sweet, chocolatey with a bit of salt to cut through the sweetness. It was a pretty decadent cookie. Definitely for the croissants, note that it's super flaky and will make a mess while you're eating haha. My friend and I came here on Sunday at 10am, and the line to order wrapped around the gate. It took around 40 minutes before we were able to order. There are limited tables inside and outside. I think most people were doing grab and go orders anyways. There is a restroom in the store. I definitely would come again to try their other pastries! read more
I came here twice over the weekend since I wanted to try a few of their items. On my first visit, I came around 1pm. Options were limited so I got a chocolate croissant and the savory scone. I felt that the chocolate croissant was wayyyy too buttery where it came off oily. The savory scone was decent as a savory option since they didn't have the ham and cheese croissant that I really wanted to try. But, I don't think I would get it again. For my second visit, I came about 40 minutes before closing and the options were limited once again, so I only ended up getting a plain croissant. The plain croissant was very good. It was buttery and flaky. Everything that you want a croissant to be. Overall, I would recommend trying this spot out but maybe come earlier in the day if you want more options. read more
Order: Ham and cheese croissant: buttery, flaky outside with lots of ham and cheese inside. Best when it is toasted. Chocolate croissant: rich dark chocolate interior that was not too sweet or bitter. Chocolate chip cookie: dark chocolate and sea salt with the perfect amount of crunch Heart of the city. There was no wait on a weekday afternoon, and they had the ham and cheese in stock!! A unique croissant to this location is the blackberry almond hazelnut. Two employee were taking orders and another one at the register. Seating is available inside and outside. the area isn't the best for parking, but easily accessible by bus, train, or bart. read more

I had an almond croissant and it had some powders sugar on the top. It was very yummy, flaky and had a nice flavorful filling in the middle. I do wish it had double the amount of filling however. I'll def come and try it out again to check the rest of the menu and get a drink to get a good feel on their menu. Service was fast, space in line was a bit crowded but I see why with the way that pastry tasted. read more

I love this place...just love the pastries and the aroma of it all!!! That's why I keep coming back. I'm so glad they're still here. Service is always fast and friendly. Love this place! Had to pick up my absolute favorite, the Kouign Aman (can't do wrong with that one). By the way this one is actually located on McAllister St. not Golden Gate area (edit from previous). read more
Best croissants that I've had in the Bay, even better than some in Paris. Really sugary and filling, I'd recommend splitting with a friend. This location can be a bit sketchy but it is very accessible as the majority of MUNI light rails and BART trains go through the nearest location/Civic Center. I got the almond chocolate croissant, kouign amann, and an iced vanilla latte ($18 total). The almond chocolate croissant was a bit overkill, I'd probably stick with one or the other next time. So flaky, you will make a mess from eating this!! The iced vanilla latte was also incredibly tasty. I'd say that this is definitely a once in a while indulgence for me, maybe to take some out-of-towners to. I wouldn't consider this an everyday spot to frequent just because of how heavy the pastries are! read more

Delicious, big, buttery, flaky croissants. I came here in the morning, got in line with commuters grabbing a pastry and coffee on their way to work, and basked in the warm scent of butter and bread. Get ready because the line moves quickly and at your turn, you will need to choose from an assortment of traditional and almond croissants as well as breads, galettes, and more. I enjoyed a traditional ham and cheese on the spot and took a blackberry jam almond for the road. The croissants are delectable and peel off into large flaky chunks until you uncover the soft, warm inside. The ham and cheese adds a nice savoriness to the traditional croissant that made for a satisfying breakfast. For my almond croissant, I was recommended the jam as a less sweet option than the chocolate. These are large and filling almond croissants that are indulgently buttery. Coffee is made to order and I waited a few minutes for a double espresso. Don't come here for the coffee, though. This is the place to treat yourself to a croissant and cover yourself in flaky crumbs while watching the hustle and bustle of downtown SF on a weekday morning. read more

I was lucky enough to try "America's best croissant" without a wait by dropping by on a weekday morning. I was worried after seeing crazy long lines on social media. I'm not the biggest croissant fan, but I have to say this is definitely in my top two favorite croissants (competing with CAR artisanal croissants in LA). Layers were solid and it was genuinely so buttery and delicious. I got the chocolate almond croissant, which I highly recommend as the best of both worlds. There's some inside and outside seating. I wish they gave the option to get a plate if you're eating there. It's very pretty inside and the people working there are friendly. I would definitely recommend, but I'm not sure I would wait more than 20 minutes. Would love to come back with a group and split a few different pastries! read more
We barely made it before they closed. The selection was slim. I actually dropped my wife off and drove around looking for parking. She ended up getting some plain croissants. Flakey, buttery, with a soft inside. You could really taste the butter! No inside dining at all, but some outdoors. The interior was decent. read more
I walk by Arsicault almost every day, and the smell alone has been tempting me for ages--today I finally gave in, and I'm so glad I did. There was a bit of a line when I arrived, but it moved quickly. You order at the counter, then head down to the register to pay. Super efficient, and the staff was friendly. There's limited seating inside and a few spots outside, which is nice if you want to enjoy your pastry on the spot. Arsicault is known for their croissants, but the Apple Turnover caught my eye--and it did not disappoint. Incredibly flaky, loaded with apple filling, and just the right amount of sweetness. It basically exploded into buttery flakes with every bite (in the best way). They offer coffee and espresso drinks too, though I was already coffeed out for the morning. If the turnover is this good, I have to come back for the croissants. Arsicault lives up to the hype--and then some. read more
Stop by during my trip to SF to check out the hype (+) very good croissant. I highly recommend their plain because the other ones I tried were slightly too sweet for me (+) drinks are ok , at good price points and can customize (-) the lines were crazy, I came on a Friday at around 11am and there was about 20 people in front of me which took about (25 min). (-) this particular location was quite small, it was hard to get a seat on the inside , and tight to get out. read more

I made the mistake of stopping by in the late afternoon just before closing... please do yourself a favor don't do that. Get there early to enjoy the full experience and selection! Even though I was a latecomer, they still had a few plain croissants left. So very yummy! Buttery and flakey, they definitely know their way around a quality croissant. This particular location isn't in the best place of town and parking is hard to come by. However, the interior is spacious and they have plenty of patio seating! read more
What an amazing bakery! The line out the door is totally justified. Parking can be a bit tricky but they have lots of seating outside. The amount of pastries they had was astonishing and everything looked so good. We settled on the scone, the chocolate chip cookie, and the palmier. We also got two coffees. Everything was a five star. We just loved everything. I think my only complaint would be that the scone was a bit dry but other than that we are so glad we went. I also think that they use powdered sugar on too many things. People don't want all that sweetness. I think what would be better is to make the pastries and then have powdered sugar out by where the coffee milks are and then people could add powdered sugar to their bakery item if they wanted. read more

Finally got to try this place with my friend and we were so impressed! We visited the Civic Center location before going to the Asian Art Museum for a quick breakfast. We've heard the line is usually long, but to our luck, it was a fast moving line of about 10 people ahead of us. The servers were friendly and accommodated us well when we ordered. I ordered the Blackberry Almond Hazelnut Croissant, and it's game changing. I see why people say this is one of the best croissant places. Everything is made fresh, and I love the softness and flakiness of this croissant. We decided to enjoy our croissants outside at their tables on a nice sunny day in the city. I haven't been back since most of the locations are far from me, but I think about this croissant from time to time. I would love to visit again soon! read more
So nice to have a location in Mission Bay! I love their croissants but I decided to get their morning bun instead. The morning bun was super fluffy and soft on the inside and a little flakey on the outside. It had the right amount of cinnamon sugar. Would highly recommend! read more
Literally devoured everything we ordered!! Since they're most known for them, we tried 4 different croissants: Plain: 10/10 Incredibly buttery and flakey. All the best things you imagine when you think of a croissant!!! Almond: 8/10 The almond taste was a bit too subtle for me, and it tasted like a mixture between almond and vanilla instead. The top has a cookie-like covering which is absolutely delicious!! Chocolate: 7/10 The chocolate was incredible, however the distribution was a bit off. The bites where you got some chocolate were great, but for the ones without any chocolate, it tasted like a slightly-less better version of the plain croissant. Would skip this next time. Ham and cheese: 8/10 Would eat this over and over again just for the cheese!!! Ham is mid, a bit too herb-y for my liking. HIGHLY recommend the chocolate chip cookie! Most people skip this and just get the croissants, but it's seriously incredible. It's the perfect blend of slightly crunchy, almost toffee-like on the outside and chewy on the inside with great chocolate dispersion throughout. Coffee is quite average, would skip and go somewhere else. Service is pretty fast for how busy they are, and the overall ambience inside is quite lovely. There's quite a bit of seating both inside and outside, and they have WiFi if you ask. Would absolutely be back! read more
OMG!! This bakery is just too good! We came early around 8:45-9am. The line wasn't that long, It took us roughly 15-20 mins to get inside. We ordered the plain croissant, vegetarian galette, blackberry coconut scone and almond chocolate croissant with iced latte. Everything was so delicious. The plain croissant just melts in the mouth, it's so so good! Buttery and flaky. The most surprising for me was the almond chocolate one, I usually don't go for the sweet one but their almond filling was melt in the mouth. They don't have a lot of seating so people usually either eat there or take it to go and eat around the oracle park. The service is fast and courteous. read more

Do you have any options that are vegetarian without eggs?
Hi Miraj, Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately all the vegetarian options include eggs.
How is parking at this location?
Limited street parking only in the area. If you're driving, I advise you to just drive to their other location.
Is there a line at this location? The arguello location always has a line out the door spanning (45min wait).
I went on a Saturday around 2-2:30 PM. There was no wait, but they had run out of many things by then. I was still able to purchase an almond croissant and an almond chocolate croissant though.
Is this location closed during the shelter in place period?
They have reopened this weekend!
What are the hours especially on weekends?
They're currently only open on Monday - Friday, 7 am - 2 pm. Closed on the weekends.
