    What an amazing treat to find a patisserie with a modern vibe, warm professional staff, handspun coffee and the most exquisitely decadent pastries ever. The highlight of our visit was The Black Tonic, the perfect espresso tonic refresher with just a touch of sweetness, and The Uppercrust: prosciutto, confit agrodolce tomatoes, burrata, balsamic sunflower seeds, arugula, sunflower basil pesto, toasted baguette, house pickled vegetable medley. The prices were surprisingly reasonable for the taste and experience!

    Black sesame kouign amann ($6)
    Ai S.

    Came here on a Sunday morning around 10am and it was quite busy! There's a lot of outdoor seating, some indoor seating, but it was pretty full by the time we got there. We were able to snag a table right as someone was leaving, but we definitely saw people walking around looking for a table. ~the food~ - Fritatta sando ($13.5): Very fluffy bread with an egg frittata + mushrooms inside. Not bad, I really liked the bread as it was very fluffy and had that nice milk flavor, but I think the egg frittata inside was a bit underwhelming. It seems like it was potentially microwaved, but not sure. Not worth the price imo, but not bad! - Black sesame kouign amann ($6): the kouign amann had nice layers, and the caramelized sugar crystals on the outside was super nice! It was surprisingly not too sweet imo! Could've potentially used a stronger black sesame flavor, but that's my opinion! - Croissant : The plain croissant was very nicely layers and was very crispy, but it felt a bit dry? I wished they had warmed it up, but it was pretty good! ~overall~ The staff were very friendly, and the vibes of the shop was very nice! It's a perfect spot for a quick coffee/brunch! I think their pastries are pretty good, but a little pricey!

    Rebel within
    Sally H.

    Tried Craftsman and Wolves for the first time last week and it was very good! Their array of baked goods made it hard to decide but I knew I wanted to try the Rebel Within since it seemed like a pastry thats right up my alley. The salt added to the Rebel Within really makes the dish explode with flavor! We got some seating outside (it's very busy during the weekend mornings). It was a very relaxing morning with a great meal to start our day with!

    Frittata toast
    Maddie W.

    Solid brunch, coffee, and pastries! This spot is popular and for good reason. Now we don't have to travel all the way to sf!! We tried their sandwich, frittata toast, and a bunch of their cakes and pastries. Everything was so good, fresh, and the cakes had really unique flavors. We will definitely be back!

    Many collections of these cakes. So glad the bakery finally expended to Peninsula / South Bay!! A few indoor seating with underground parking spot in a busy and vibrant area!

    this has easily become one of my favorite coffee shops on the peninsula. I've ordered both their latte and dulce de leche latte, especially when I'm in the mood for something a little sweet. their pastries and cakes are also very delicious. it's a solid spot whether you're stopping by for breakfast or just grabbing a sweet treat. tip: they have guest parking available at the dean apartment, which makes visits convenient!

    The pastries are so good here! We also ordered an egg sandwich and thought that was good, but the highlights are the pastries. They also have desserts, but will need to try that next time. The service was pretty quick. You order at the counter and pick the pastries you want. If you ordered things from the kitchen, they'll give you a number and bring it out. There's not much seating inside, but there's some tables outside as well where most people were sitting. We parked in the parking garage underground as there's not much easy street parking.

    Got an iced latte after my pilates class! Tasted good and there were a lot of people. Would come back to try their baked goods.

    Chocolate croissant Matcha latte with almond milk (milk alternative, no soy!) Lions head was incredibly savory! And I'm glad it was warmed up. Strong espresso taste in my latte Excellent service Parking was a bit difficult Grab and go vibes Thank you!

    Pastry case 1/4/26
    Megan A.

    A little smaller than their SF location I have been to but very much keeping their aesthetic. Nice clean space with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The pastry case is always something to marvel. It is like taking a trio to an art museum. I spontaneously opted to get their limeade espresso tonic drink as I was purchasing a pastry and this was easily my favorite thing. Just perfection! Not too much lime, not too much espresso, balanced with beautiful flavor.

    Apple Koign Aman
    Katyayini K.

    Small cafe tucked away amongst residential buildings. I got the latte with berry almond syrup. Was slightly disappointed with the taste because it fell closer to the savoury side of the spectrum than the sweet side. The apple koign Aman looked pretty good.

    Pesto Honey Croissant and a Pumpkin Pie Croissant

    Beautiful and cozy Great food and drinks again Seasonal are a must to try. Food is beautiful to look at. Service is amazing and helpful.

    One of the best pastries and desserts I have ever been to! There is a garage in the lower level for customers, which is quite nice and spacious there. You just have to take the stairs up and the restroom is also in the parking building instead of inside the store. The staffs were friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. You can always trust their recommendations if it's your first time. Their Secret of Eden is my favorite. We always have to get this everytime we visit. It has a nice texture and balanced flavors. Not too sweet or plain. Their other cakes and desserts are also great! Haven't have a bad one from here. For the drinks, I like their matcha latte. It was sweet naturally with no added sugar. Their coffee was really good too! Their outdoor seats are really nice since it's in a quiet neighborhood. May be too cold for the winter, but summer would be awesome! Definitely would come back!

Fun fact: Alyzée" is the name of the owner's daughter. It boasts marble counters, bistro-style tables, and outdoor seating on Castro Street to mimic the South of France. The owner recruited pastry chefs who relocated from France specifically for this endeavor. They also have monthly flavor, for example for May 2026: "Strawberry Bliss" cake. I totally recommend: mixed berry tart, coffee eclairs. The cakes and pastries are on the higher end price, perfect to surprise someone's birthday or special occasion or even to brighten your day with high quality artisan bakeries goods.

They have rotating seasonal items and also accept ordering larger cakes through online orders or by calling in! Their 100% pistachio cake is amazing - not too sweet and the pistachio flavor really comes through but doesn't overpower. Very creamy texture that isn't too heavy and has a fun, crunchy outer shell. The matcha raspberry is also nice and balanced - matcha flavor complements well with the raspberry gel / jam inside and is mellowed out by the cream. Inside is very chic and great place to chat and catch up over a cup of coffee and even get some work done - water station and wifi is inside.

I wonder if the rest of the cakes have gotten super sweet too? We loved this place due to balanced desserts - deducted one star due to the sweet cake I also deducted another star based on my experience with their croissants. The plain croissant is surprisingly sweet, seemingly due to a sugar glaze or syrup on top (see images) and it tasted old but a plain croissant should be buttery, flaky, and crispy, not coated in something sugary and it wasn't crispy at all. The thing is, a well-made plain croissant should have a natural amber sheen just from the egg wash, and there is no need for sugary syrup, but their croissants have a clear thick glaze that is pooled and caramelized on top, so it felt like eating a sweet bread. I had high hopes given how consistently great their cakes have been, so hopefully it's something they revisit and do better on. Their service history has been great, but as the years have gone by, it's not as friendly or inviting as it used to be (the place has gotten popular over the years, so we have noticed a few things are sliding downhill, so I am curious how this place will be over the next few years). The interior is small (no seating inside, but they do have a few tables outside), we have always taken it to go from here. I am hoping the rest of the cakes aren't sweet, we will try them and will update the review again

    Of course husband last minute says day of birthday celebration that we need a cake. Found Izumi…read moreCakes on Yelp and was bummed at first because the soonest online reservation for a cake would be two days later. Husband called them around 11am and they said they were in the middle of making their strawberry cakes so they could add our order in for a same day pickup at 4pm. Pickup went well and the cake was so cute and it tasted great! Like the Chinese bakery strawberry cream cake with a moist sponge cake; not too sweet, just right. Might sound basic but it was done very well. Would 100% recommend. I don't know prices for cakes nowadays but I didn't feel bad paying about $60 for a cute and tasty cake (6", strawberry cream cake). I wouldn't bank on same day pickups, I might've just been very lucky they were in the middle of making their cakes but it wouldn't hurt to try calling early in the day if you're in a pinch for a solid cake. I'm very thankful for their service!

Izumi seemed perfect given the fact that there are a good variation of sizes that could be bought. Not everyone is a matcha lover and our family tends to gravitate away from cakes, we appreciated the smaller options. The Kyoto Matcha was purchased. The design was simply but had a slightly fancy feel to it- exactly what we were hoping for! There was strong scent of matcha coming from the top drip design and we couldn't be more excited for our matcha bae. Fast Forward: The cake is super soft, fluffy, and oh so very light. The cake in itself was not super sweet- very typical of Asian cakes. The matcha flavor was unfortunately too mellow for us. 3 stars for the cake in itself but the rating is bumped up to a 4 because the presentation is so cute! Matcha wasn't what we were looking for but we may be inclined to try other flavors in the future.

When we've brought it to social gatherings in the past, it's also always a hit. Their other desserts, like their lemon bars, french napoleon, and turtle cheesecake, are also major hits. So when it was time for my wedding, I knew I had to get my cake from them! It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. They offer cake tasting boxes that include their most popular flavors. However, we had a specific taste profile in mind and asked if they could custom make the samples for us - they said yes without hesitation and didn't charge us extra! The samples were delicious and the pickup process was easy. We went with a ribbon cake (chocolate and vanilla) with fresh strawberries, whipped cream filling, and vanilla buttercream frosting. I also had a very specific vision for my wedding cake - I wanted a detailed three-tier cake with buttercream vintage flowers. We also ordered a plain sheet cake with the same flavors to ensure that we had enough slices for our guests. I worked with Fariba during the ordering process and they were great. I am truly still SHOCKED at how beautiful the cake was and how it matched the inspo photo perfectly. It was a showstopper and extremely delicious. See the photo for details! We got the cake topper from etsy :)
