    I stopped by for a quick bite while in the area, and it was surprisingly empty on a Sunday afternoon. My order: Rebel Within: $9.50 +Soft cooked egg was perfectly cooked & oozed liquid gold. +Outside was crispy & flaky +Pickled veggies added acidity, crunch, and moisture -Inside was dry -IMO the side of salt wasn't needed since it was salty enough Strawberry Passion Kouign Amann (seasonal): $6.00 +Pastry was crispy and flaky +Not too sweet +The mini macaron on top was adorable & delicious! -Strawberry passion confiture was sour Lime Wire: $6.75 +No upcharge for no ice -Super disappointed considering this used to be one of my favorite coffee drinks. It was bitter & sour, which made it difficult to finish. In addition, it was served in a plastic cup that wasn't filled to the top and missing the dried lime slice. Side notes: 1.) Self-serve napkins and water 2.) Limited street parking 3.) Walking distance from 14/22/49/BART *Verdict: With so many bakeries in the city, I don't think I'd return, especially since everything was mid this time.

    Dare I say, the best bakery in San Francisco. You must try their soft boil egg in a savoury muffin with a pinch of salt on the side. Their sweet treats were so good, we got a second round just to take home. They have amazing cortado and flat white coffees. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating can get quite busy but still accessible.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Stopped by here for breakfast and coffee. They had a bunch of unique pastry options. I chose the chocolate croissant and it was good. The savory pain suisse was also really delicious. I think it was the Japanese curry one if I remember correctly. It seems like they change up their menu items frequently. The banana travel cake was probably my favorite. The employees were friendly as well!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Craftsman and Wolves is a modern patisserie located in the heart of San Francisco's Mission District.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They serve a selection of delicious-looking sweet treats but are perhaps best known for their Rebel Within--a soft, savory pastry that resembles a muffin but is made up of pork and cheese, with a soft-cooked egg in the middle. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Although I do not usually eat breakfast, the spacious interior and always-friendly staff make it a great place to grab a quick bite in the morning and get some work done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    So chic!!! Loved their assortment of desserts, cute benches and layout of the cafe. We got a bunch of little items to share, coffee and tea. Although seating isn't the most spacious we found a spot to enjoy our treats. Walk to the counter to order and pick up. I will say the little "stone" cake we got was full of complex flavors and appealing to the eye. It was so pretty I almost didn't want to bite into it. I will note that it is pricey but it's obvious there's a lot of effort put into each dessert. Cute spot to walk into, fun neighborhood surprise.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sometimes hard to sit because it's so popular and packed- but that means it's that good![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love the unique spin to the pastries, some savory even! My two personal favorite items are the oatmeal cookie and the breakfast bowl! Both make me feel healthy but I'm also indulging in my sweet tooth a bit. :) they have homemade dog treats sometimes too so my dog even loves going with me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]No wifi but ambiance is ok for working if it's not packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Gorgeous "Pill Box" and other shiny orbs. Pictures don't do it justice. Much shinier in person!

    Everything I have tried here has been excellent!: - Mortadella Havarti Croissant Sandwich: This really hits the spot. - Apple Hibiscus Kouign Amman: You can't go wrong with a kouign amman. - Triple Chocolate Croissant: I will never have a plain chocolate croissant again knowing that this exists. - Rebel Within: I don't know how they get a perfectly soft-boiled egg inside of this savory muffin. It is heavy, so this will fill you up for breakfast or lunch. It's good, but I prefer their other pastries. - Pill-shaped mousse cake: I tried this a few years ago but forgot to mention it in my last review. They no longer sell it, but have similar desserts in different shapes. It was absolutely gorgeous and tasty, but I prefer my desserts to be on the heavier side. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Every time I have come, there has been a good amount of people in the morning without being crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ample seating at the small tables and communal table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Complimentary cold water and cups in the front. Quick and friendly service. Don't miss out on this place! I keep accidentally walking past it because it has a marrow store front. So if you're like me, know that it is located next door to Dandelion Chocolate.

    The concept of having a whole egg inside a muffin is crazy, especially because the egg is still oozy and runny! Perfect if you're craving something savory and like eggs. The only disadvantage is that its on the expensive side ($9.50) for one! Something worth trying at least once though. There's a wide assortment of other pastry items include muffins, cookies, kouign amann, croissants and mini (personal) cakes.

    Croissant Pudding
    Edrian D.

    Since I knew I was going to have back to back meetings today I decided to pick up a few treats to keep me motivated. On the menu today was Rebel Within, croissant pudding and Egan's Addiction. Pro Tip - Order for pick up! I placed the order using DD and was literally in and out. So if you feel that sometimes it's just too people-y outside order pick up. First was the Rebel Within - I've gotten this before eating in and I remembered it being so much better. Eating in - the savory muffin is warm and the soft boiled egg inside oozes. It's definitely a nom nom. But trying it at home doesn't have the same effect. Maybe have warm up instructions at home? So that was pretty lackluster. Definitely better warm than semi cold - eh On to the Croissant Pudding - warm or cold this one hits! Something about that caramel that has you craving more. Probably the best caramel I've ever had, might be the pinch of salt in there? Not sure, but I do know one thing for sure -- that's not for sharing, that's all for me lol. Last in the menu was Egan's Addiction - not sure who Egan is, but I see why they were addicted - I too love blackberries (ommm nom nom nom nom). Not too sweet and the perfect bite every time. After eating the goodness there was this crust on the bottom I didn't even notice - lucky me another treat to eat! Nom nom nom. If I had to do it all over again I'd probably skip the rebel and stick to the sweet stuff. Nonetheless, satisfied my treat craving! Strong 3.5 -- Until next time!

    This is the place for fancy beautiful desserts and pastries. Everything is top of the line and fresh. I come here every time I'm in the Mission. I love their Rebel Within which is a savory muffin with egg inside. They also sell these at the Epicurean Trader and probably other places around the city.

    Joanna W.

    A great place in the mission! Love the egg inside the pastry very delicious. They also have very aesthetic and cute desserts.

    Came by 5 minutes before they were closing at 4pm and purchased two small cakes from their display case. The cakes are beautiful and delicious, although for $16 each, I would say they are definitely on the expensive side. It was a nice little splurge once in awhile.

    I absolutely love this place. I am lucky enough to live within walking distance and have been here…read morethree times in the last few months. This most recent time I arrived just before opening and waited about an hour and a half for my delicious strawberry roll. If I had got there earlier, I think the line would've been only about 20 to 30 minutes so if you are an early bird they allow you to line up anytime after around 7:45 AM. I listened to a new album and great podcast while I was in line, it can be a great solo activity and makes the wait go by fast! I also enjoy talking to the people around me about whether or not they've been here yet and hearing what their favorite items are or what they're excited to try. This time I met someone who had brought their family member all the way from Mexico to try! I think a lot of the people who are frustrated don't understand that there will be a wait. The owner has explained on her Instagram that the reason they cannot simply bake more is because they are not baking pastries that are designed for bulk creation. They are all handmade small batch goods that simply cannot be made in large quantities. I think when you go into it understanding that it's going to be an experience that more often than not comes with a wait time it is much more enjoyable. I did see some teenagers show up with their parents who immediately seemed like they did not want to get in the line. The thing about lines though is that typically if there is a consistent line somewhere that means it's good! I really admire the parents that did wait with their kids because it is worth it! We all need a little bit of whimsy in our life and these goods and the wonderfully magical people who work there make my day a little brighter each time I go in. The shop itself is decorated so well, you can tell that the cookbooks and tools are not just props on the shelf. They are actually used. There are also a couple glittery surprises that I will leave for you to find out... I cannot recommend this little bakery enough. If you are in San Francisco, even just for a day, add it to the top of your list and start your day with a treat you won't be able to find anywhere else.

    After hearing all the hype and braving a near 2 HOUR wait in line....sorry, it wasn't quite up to…read morepar for me. There are better bakeries for lower effort. Let's start with the good. The namesake Pistachio Cardamom croissant was excellent for a filled croissant. It had excellent layers and the cream was just enough to add a lusciousness to each bite that wasn't too heavy. The madame lorraine was my other favorite. It was meaty and rich with the soft baked runny yolk and the light touch of rosemary was just enough to accentuate the bite. The not as good...a standard butter croissant. Maybe we got a dud but there was a serious lack of layers in ours and it wasn't as crisp or as buttery as I like. The elote corn croquiche filling was also quite salty which was a shame because the pastry layer was pretty good. I still have two more pastries to try but given the weight and the mixed bag, I definitely expected a lot more from Butter & Crumble. Pro tip: get a butter croissant at Arsicault, walk to B Patisserie and get a kouign amann. You'll have both before the line moves here.

    This is my favorite cake shop in the area and should be the bar for cakes everywhere…read more The buttercream on the cake is the best. It's soooooooooooooooo smooth and buttery. I would eat the cream by itself if they sold it that way. Good thing I don't live nearby. I saw one review say that some of their chocolate flavor or cookie flavors weren't as good, which I understand. I had a cookie cake and didn't taste the smooth, buttery taste I was looking for. I highly recommend cakes that let their vanilla frosting shine without mixing too many flavors. Flavors: - Raspberry & lychee was amazing - Key lime was a little too tart for my tastes, but I still loved the buttercream - Cookie was just ok

A cousin has brought over cakes from Butter& on numerous occasions, and they've been a hit each time. Beautifully crafted with the outside layers so you can see both the cake and frosting layers. I absolutely love the unique-esque of flavors here. The first cake I tried from Butter& was their brown butter lemon cake. It was a bit too sweet for my liking, but love the sound of that flavor combination. It was great texturally. The second one I tried was their lychee raspberry. Wow, they really get that lychee flavor super well there! Very impressed. This one was more to my liking, and it was as equally as beautiful as the first one. Disclaimer that I haven't been to the actual store, but heard great things re service and the atmosphere. I bet it smells amazing in there. Someday I'll make a visit, but for now, keep the cakes coming! YUM!

    This was the one place I wanted to visit while in SF. It was amazing, but there is so much hype it…read morewas hard to temper my expectations!!! There are three Arsicault locations, but this is the original, opened in 2015 (or so the internet told me). Our hotel was closer to the Tenderloin location, but that area wad sketchy. The line was 15 people long, but moved incredibly fast. The menu is on the front glass window (no prices,). Once you enter, you can see the pastries and corresponding prices. Unfortunately, you enter when it's your time to order, pay grab your food, and then leave. We went twice and our whole interaction was less than a minute per trip!!! We had many things and there were only winners. If you don't want to spend $60 like we did, here are my thoughts on what we tried. Croissants: the almond was the winner by a long shot!!! I liked the ham and cheese, but only if you need a savory option. Chocolate chip croissants are not my favorite, but my daughter ate the whole thing and loved it. The almond chocolate chip had too much going on and it's the only one I would not recommend. The kouign amann is delicious and worth getting. The morning bun is good, but only if you want a bit of citrus flavor (orange zest). The monkey bread was good, but after all the other pastries, it didn't stand out. It seemed similar to the kouign amman in retrospect and I'd need another side by side to really sort out the differences. The chocolate chip cookie is delicious, but beware that it is salted. My son wasn't a fan, but the rest of us liked it. A bonus if you go the Richmond Ariscault -- it's next door to Breck's, a great coffee shop that has seating. Looks like most Arsicault customers grabbed their pastries and went next door to get coffee and sit down. We followed suit and it was a perfect pairing. After our pastries, we went to Golden Gate to walk off the meal. An epic morning!!!

The storefront is small so you pretty much walk inside to tell them what you want, pay, and get your pastries to go. No place to sit; only drip coffee offered. The croissants are crunchy on the outside and flaky on the inside. One of the best croissants in San Francisco. They don't offer a huge selection of pastries but the more popular ones are the croissants and Kouign Amann. With the croissants they offer a number of variations including almond, chocolate, ham and cheese. They also sell scones but I would stick with the croissants in my opinion.
