Breck's is a small neighborhood wine bar that also serves coffee, a few sandwiches, salads and pastries. It used to be a convenience store selling beer, wine, sodas, chips, candies, etc (not sure if same owner) but it's now upgraded and looking quite nice. It's conveniently located at the corner of Clement and Arguello. And...neighbors with Arsicault Bakery. So don't be surprised or deterred to see a long a** line snaking down Arguello filled with Croissant-hungry hopefuls. Although there may be a line outside Breck's, it's normally just a short wait. In normal times, you can sit outside and sip your wine or coffee; however, everything is to-go right now. They proudly advertise that they serve Verve coffee. I usually grab an Americano if I'm nearby, but recently we came by to try their sandwich and salad. Ham Panini $12, was good but at this price, we were expecting a bit of a bigger sandwich. Hb ate this up but I did taste the ham and cheese filling. Tasty. Kale & Beet salad $12, was a very delicious salad. It's a good balance of sweetness from the beets, the slightly acidity of the balsamic vinaigrette, and the creaminess of the goat cheese made it a bit indulgent. I actually forgot I was eating something healthy there for a minute because it was so enjoyable. Next time I will ask them to skip the farro though because I'm on low carb and grain-sensitive, but if you don't have that problem, it's perfectly fine. read more

Same as all the other 1, 2, 3 star reviews. Been here multiple times and now as a local in the hood and am finally fed up. You try to support a local place over the years and just get ire every... single... f'ing... time... no more as of today. Go back to New York. In the midst of doing inventory/restocking on a Thursday afternoon, the entire place was a hot mess, I asked the owner where the chilled white wine section was. He pointed to two bottles at the bottom of one crusty fridge that looked like they were samples like I was an idiot. What reputable wine store doesn't have chilled white wine? Went to Spanish Table a block away and got something great for the event. read more

Location, location location! Breck's got it! Right next to Arsicault Bakery, You can't go wrong with being the neighbor of the #1 patisserie (croissants) in the USA. Bags of Arsicault goodies beg for a beverage. Whether it's hot coffee, tea or cocoa Breck's got it! Hot outside? Get a cold glass of wine chilled too! I had a lovely Rishi English Breakfast tea along with my Arsicault chocolate croissant this morning. Yes, calories calories...but I'm worth it! Can't go to Paris at the moment. Here is the next best place to be. read more

Came to breck's after getting some baked goods from arsicult. We got a iced oat milk latte ($6) and a iced matcha latte with oat milk ($6.50). The drinks were good but the girl taking our order was super rude and stand offish. Pretty sure they gave my friend regular milk for her matcha latte because she got the runs from it. Vibes are interesting because there's wines everywhere and tables with people studying all around. read more

I loved their coffee beans. The ice latte I got was smooth and creamy. Af first I was a little concern that the lattes didn't come with flavoring or syrups but once having the coffee I realized it did not need any flavoring or sugar. The coffee beans were smooth enough and did not have a bitter after taste. The place is small inside and there is some sitting outside. The utensils and sugar are located outside the coffee shop by the entrance. We had a little trouble looking for the straws and napkins, we needed to ask the barista. read more

This little gem of a coffee/wine shop is on the corner right next to arsicault bakery. We got our croissant next door and decided to try the coffee here (arsicault has amazing croissants, coffee... not so much). You walk into Breck's and it sure is magical! Coffee and wine... my two favorite things living harmoniously under one roof. Since it was 8:30 in the morning, I decided coffee was the more appropriate option this time. I had a flat white and my son had a hot chocolate - both were excellent. My flat white was strong and you could actually taste the great flavor of the coffee! It was such a treat. The employees working were super friendly, patient, and efficient. 5 stars all the way! read more

I'm not sure I understand the service "style" of Breck's. The ambiance is impressive and comfortable, the coffee and internet are above average and reviews and popularity put it front and center among coffee shops in the area. However, the two young people at the counter didn't seem to know how to greet people. They apparently thought they were doing a good job maybe? I'm not sure how else to put that: my experience was the same as many who walked in. I watched and took note: most people would come in and be very friendly and in almost all cases the response was kind of robotic and for lack of a better word "unresponsive"? I thought it was me, but I noticed that about 3 out of 5 customers were greeted the same way: with an unenthusiastic and barely audible engagement with no or very little eye contact. Disengaging at the very least. I honestly thought I wasn't ordering correctly. The cashier was looking in a completely different direction while I ordered (I did so very politely by the way). I hesitated, asked them if I was supposed to order while the person stood there in front of me looking elsewhere, I mentioned that it seemed like I was doing something wrong and somehow they interpreted that as meaning that I didn't know how to order at a coffee shop. Ha! I saw this happen many times in just under an hour there. I wouldn't call it attitude, but rather lack of attention to how people greet one another maybe? That and maybe not understanding why people are there and who those people are? Doctors. Lawyers. Professors. Other baristas. Who knows? You certainly cannot know, so why not treat everyone as if they are equally important to those who DO know them? This is not a generational thing! I see it done well every day elsewhere, and those people don't know me either. Please Please look how other excellent coffee shops greet people and take their orders. This is NOT a generational thing! I'm in 50-80 coffee shops annually and the idea is almost always the same everyone and without regard to generation and customer base: be easy going and welcoming and make eye contact and if possible smile. You don't need to have a long conversation - almost all customers understand this. They usually don't have time for it either! read more

What a cute store! I love the idea of coffee and wine pairing, and the lattes were amazing.

I've been here twice and ordered two different drinks, which were both solid but maybe slightly too milky. I enjoy the feel of the place overall. It's clearly a neighborhood favorite because it seems to always have a steady flow of customers in and out. I just wish it was a little more affordable, but hey that's San Francisco. read more

Green Tea Latte was perfect! Cute place! It is next door to the croissant place. Get your drinks here.

Came here on a whim and love the outdoor seating and the fact that it's next to Arizmendi's for a scone! read more

Update! They've extended their hours on Sundays so now late risers can enjoy a cappuccino or cocktail in the afternoon

Stopped by for a coffee after shopping at Tantrum. Great coffee, yummy apricot linzer cookie, loved the outdoor seating. They look to have a great wine selection so I'll have to check that out next time. read more

Super cute coffee shop. Walked in here to grab coffee drinks after getting pastries next door and the iced chais (one with almond milk and the other with oat milk) were great. The service was quick and the woman who took our order was very nice. We didn't do this but you could also purchase wines from their eclectic wine selection if you like as well. While we were waiting for our drinks we perused the wines and they look like some super fun unique wines to try. Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area. read more

The original plan was to get croissants from next door, but what did we learn from 2020? Pivot! Pivot! Pivot! I'm pleasantly surprised with my unexpected stop into Brecks! There was a much shorter line to get in and their menu on the window said they had breakfast sandwiches on croissants so why not! Plus, from the outside you can see their collection of alcohol and it's safe to say I was intrigued (again). I've been to a Brecks before for a coffee, but never really took a gander at the extensive collection in here. It's wine bottles galore, gin and tonics, and everything else you don't think you need on a Saturday morning. The hot breakfast sando was bomb! Do y'all use the croissants from Ariscault then throw in your delicious bacon, eggs, and avocado in the mix? Is this an Arguello Street collab? Whatever's going on... keep it up. I wish there were different breakfast options to choose from, but hey, my croissant was toasted, ingredients were fresh, and overall delicious! Kiddos got fresh squeezed OJ and the adults got the nitro cold brew. Nope, all those bottles of wine did not make it in the car. However, I will share that the 2 women, who looked perhaps in their late 70s, ordered a glass of bubbly as they parked their bikes. I couldn't help but smile under my mask #goals. read more

We used to visit Breck's every Friday morning after our group bike ride, but will be moving on. I completely understand and agree that bikes need to be stored in a manner that doesn't block the sidewalks or entries. (And sympathize with how hard that is to implement.). Apparently, they were cited/reprimanded for this recently, and we doubled down on our efforts the next week, even helping the staff by directing other cyclists that we didn't know about the situation. But the next week, we were told we can't move a chair or a table to sit together, and the staff felt pretty unwelcoming. Our group really makes the effort to be good guests (parking our bikes in the right place, putting all tables and chairs back when we leave, etc) and maybe it's because others are not? Perhaps the reader of this review will be happy that there will be 20ish less cyclists here on Friday mornings. We will be taking our business down the road, and for me at least, I will not patronize this business on other days, either. No hard feelings, Breck's, but sad it had to end this way after years of coming here. read more

my friend & i stopped by as we noticed they offer iced matcha lattes. service was quick, though we both agreed that our drinks tasted "watery." and mine was just lacking any flavor or sweetness. read more

Love this little spot on the corner of Arguello and Clement Avenue. This fantastic spot brings people from high and low together which is what I call the ideal community. Well done to the owner who established this store. I feel it's a perfect marriage between his corner store and the bakery next-door. Will somebody please do me the favor of taking care of those plants that are growing outside the doors. For the past three years I've been nurturing the succulents to come back and look welcoming to the patrons. I have since moved from SF and hope that someone will pick up the baton and give them some love. read more

Nice cozy coffee place, they serve Verve coffee and make nice little avocado toast, Did not try much more but you also have great bakery near by for more... read more

The good: cheapest glass of wine around ($7), nice relaxed atmosphere, can usually get a table. The bad: the service. There is one bigger girl with glasses who works there who is consistently rude. I go elsewhere if I see her working. The other workers aren't too friendly either. Too bad the attitude is so sour there! Can't they hire more cheerful staff? read more

I had a very limited experience here, but for what it was, this spot is a local gem! If I lived in or near the Inner Richmond, i see myself here regularly. Trendy Coffee shop, wine bar & bottle shop? Yep! Let me preface I got a decaf non-fat capp, and I was friggin' wired all day and didn't sleep at night; so I'm gonna guess maybe they forgot the decaf, I could be wrong. I also haven't had an espresso shot, decaf or not, in a hot minute (thanks COVID), so it could of just been that. Anyway, the place is well designed and charming, even with COVID, and they have a few tables outside (think about 6). The coffee was delicious and came out quickly. I wish I could have stayed for a glass of wine (or 3), and I mean, how convenient to also sell bottles and what looks like some other goodies. I love when I see businesses serve multiple purposes: coffee, wine (and looks like they offer limited pastries) = you get me. read more

When you ask for a large and buy a large you expect a large. Not a small. Why does my sister have an actual large coffee and I have a small? Is there a reason? Maybe this is a large and I just don't know better but at least they didn't forget my order today. Maybe third time is the charm. read more

I love this place. Lived in this neighborhood for over 5 years and having coffee just three doors down was a life changer. Some people may not vibe with the owners demeanor, but I enjoy it. I'm getting a coffee, not looking for a new best friend. Maybe that makes me more like Larry David but I appreciate a coffee spot that's my go-to for to-go. Do I have a spot to talk to the owners and feel like it's a close knit community? Absolutely, and I go to other places for that. Here, I get my quality wine, I get my quality coffee, and I enjoy my conversations elsewhere read more

Breck's is a nice cafe with standard traditional cafe picks. I got the macchiato and it was bitter coffee and a shot of coffee. Fun to try sometimes. It's next to Arsicault and the counter people were friendly and sweet this time. read more

The drinks and food are really good but the service is poor. The girl taking our order never looked us in the eye and had an attitude when talking to us. Actually she barely even said anything to us and we had to confirm that she got our order etc. It made the time there less pleasant. read more

Rude attendants, took an hour for 2 mediocre breakfast sandwhich. Cold brew sucks. They gave my food to the wrong person because I have a "confusing" name. Then they got the order wrong. Ridiculous. Bagel is dry and lox has bones in it. Croissant is completely flat and dry. read more

Stopped by randomly because I was next door at Arsicault and needed something to quench my thirst. I tried the chagaccino and it was surprisingly very good considering it was only 40 calories. Very smooth and strong. The inside has cozy, charming vibes and the girl taking my order was very friendly read more

We sat down here for an early evening drink after a long walk through Golden Gate Park. The wines were reasonably priced, the service lovely, and the atmosphere cheery. The selection of glasses and draught beers was solid, and the selection of wine bottles was quite enticing indeed, and I look forward to returning again earlier in the day for a cup of coffee. read more

I won't be coming back. I understand the espresso machine is down but try being solution oriented in place of having a pretentious "I'm too good for this" attitude. The moment I approached the bar it was immediate disrespect. Also they added way too much milk to the chai latte, which isn't that hard. I'd say just go to Starbucks at that point for higher quality and better service. read more

I liked the ambiance of this place and I especially liked the fact that it has no line on a Saturday morning! But my quiche was cold in the middle. Crust were undercooked... I felt pretty gross about it and couldn't finish... read more

Yeah, um a pour over that costs $5.00 should have flavor. It takes longer. It's expensive. But it was so bland. Underwhelming. Wish I would have liked it but not so much. The soy latte however was great. It made up the difference which is why we are splitting the vote. I don't think the pour over was fresh either. More like an instant coffee flavor. Perhaps wine is their specialty. Next time. read more

Breck's always been my go-to spot to get my fav drinks (canned mai-tai, Moscow mule) both very strong and reasonable priced, I work couple doors away from them so it's very convenient and they serve one of the best avocado toast. They do serve few other stuff if you need a a quick bite. I don't normally drink coffee I mean unless I need it to go to if you know what I mean but recently my friend got a iced caramel latte from them for me it was so good now I am hooked and all the employees there are really nice and friendly. Owner definitely knows how to choose his employees. Come get some coffee while your partner is in line for the croissant next door. You won't regret it read more

When your business model is wine and apps the rest should be pretty easy to maintain. Unfortunately, we had the same experience as others. The young gentlemen at the counter were nice and engaged. However, when I asked for a wet rag to clean the filthy table and seat *myself* the woman was rude and asked me if the napkins at the front door were gone. I said I was only trying to help, and she told me to go look for them there. Ok. Cool. Then she knocked something off the counter, didn't pick it up, and then sat on her phone. lol Not going back. read more

Cappuccino was good. Staff is very rude/unwelcoming. When I walked up to the counter Friday morning I was greeted with a blank stare from the woman taking orders. I said good morning how are you, I was ignored and met with the same blank stare. I just went ahead and ordered one cappuccino and she says "that all?" And asked for my name. I said my name and she goes "what??" I paid and tipped, the woman did not say anything again, no "you're all set" or thank you, just looked past me to the next customer. Would not come back or recommend. There are plenty of other great coffee shops with good coffee and friendly employees. read more

Hadn't been here in a while as there are plenty of great coffee places in the area. And not sure I'd go back again. 5 people behind the coffee bar, it wasn't a rush hour, unclean tables. To top it off ordered an iced latte to go and they didn't have straws and there was no way to drink without spilling while walking - it would have been great if they had informed me while I was ordering or even put it in a cup in which they serve hot coffee that has a spout. But when I asked for a straw one of the girls said 'oh sorry we are out' and rolled her eyes and said it's 'mildly inconvenient.' Not for a six dollar coffee. When you are in as crowded a market as a cafe the least you can do is be pleasant ... and take care of customers. And to top it off, the coffee was so milky had to throw it out. read more

This place is absolutely wonderful. Everyone treats you with such a friendly attitude, and try to help you with recommendations which feels really authentic for San Francisco. The coffee from here was pretty strong which helped me keep awake throughout the entire day. A nice coffee from here and a croissant From next door is all you need for your mornings. They also over filled my coffee and we had a totally funny moment with the baristas. They do have a small amount of pastries but even they even recommend going next door. Absolutely wonderful place! read more

If you catch yourself needing a lovely spot to day drink and soak in some super random neighborhood eavesdropping, welcome to Breck's. Breck's is incredibly lovely with folks who are happy to help you quench your thirst with whatever they've got. Not sure what to get? They'll help. Need a snack? They've got them. Need to tinkle? They have a lovely bathroom. Need to think about something besides what you've got going on in your life? There are a plethora of stories just waiting to be heard from the folks either standing or sitting outside. I've been unexpectedly privy to office gossip, a roommate romance gone wrong, mediocre first date, actual work interview, and new friend meeting partner's friends. I'm not sure if my own convos here have been that interesting to anyone else but, alas. Great place for convos. And the people-watching is fantastic. Honestly, I think the fact that I haven't been inside a bar in ages is showing but whatever. I love it here. The people are great, the drinks are great, and there are seriously great croissants and people who love croissants like right next door. If it's not raining and there's a spot at a table open, go for it! read more
