There's something on this menu for everyone, from basque cheesecakes to egg tarts and cookies. The service was speedy. This is a grab-and-go spot, but the orders come out very quickly. There was a short line when I visited on a Saturday afternoon. I was so impressed with everything I tried. The egg tart was flaky and not too sweet. The ube croissant had so much filling and was a beautiful shade of purple. I loved the bouncy texture of the honeycomb cake. They're most famous for their green waffle, which was only $3. It's prepared fresh, so it's piping hot when you eat it. It had such a fragrant pandan flavor and was super soft. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

I stumbled across this bakery while looking for a quick treat, and I'm really glad I did. The…read moremoment I walked in, the smell of freshly baked bread and pastries filled the air and made the place feel cozy and inviting. There were so many options to choose from that it was hard to decide. I ended up trying a pastry and a slice of cake, and both were excellent. The pastry was light, flaky, and buttery, while the cake was moist and not overly sweet. Everything tasted fresh, like it had just come out of the oven. What made the experience even better was the friendly staff. They were patient while I looked through the display case and happy to answer questions about their most popular items. Their enthusiasm made the visit feel more personal rather than just another stop at a store. The bakery itself was clean, charming, and had a welcoming atmosphere that made me want to stay longer. It's the kind of place that feels perfect for grabbing breakfast, meeting a friend for coffee, or picking up a dessert for a special occasion. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of their baked goods. This bakery has quickly become one of my favorite local spots.

The minute I walked through the door I was greeted. They were prepping to close in 20 min, cleaning up the glass fronts....but never felt rushed. I loved every bite btw. Of all the years/times I have come here, I didn't realize they had parking in back. You don't need to hope for the front street parking, just take a right and park in back. Less stressful.

It is located next to the grocery store Nobhill and there are quick 20min parking in front of the store. We were greeted right when we entered the door and looked at the delicious treats to eat. There is the main seating area and another area in the back to sit down along with sitting outside. It felt upscale and nice. The sign in front of the store had some drink specials and I got a strawberry/matcha drink I think it was called Rose. I asked what was good here and the cashier said the mini almond pastries and other treats in the front. The mini almond pastry was really good and also got a crème brûlée which was really good as well. I would come back again and try their hot teas next time. Delicious treats. Good upscale vice a nice place to catch up with friends!!!

The food is worth the wait. Don't sleep on the black pepper sausage danish: the croissant dough is crisp and flaky, and doesn't get soggy when baked around the sausage. It's comparable in execution to the Croissant Hot Dog served at Dominique Ansel Las Vegas (in Caesar's Palace), but at a way more accessible price point. Which isn't to say this place is cheap; like many artisanal bakeries in California, it comes with a premium price tag, but at least it's not Dominique Ansel pricy. Croissante's croissant dough baked goods (viennoiserie) is pun-intended "proof" that you get what you pay for. The dining space is limited and lively. Conversing is a little tough, but if you just need a place to sit while eating, it's just right. Extra special shout out this time to Dill who had informed me the fried chicken dishes today would be an hour and a half wait. After deciding there wasn't anything I wanted more than the Fried Chicken and Spiced Croffle (croissant dough baked in a waffle iron) and was happy to wait, they were nice enough to check in with the kitchen and see if it could be made sooner than that. I didn't expect to be accommodated, so I was happy they were able to do that. You get two chicken thighs and croffles per order. It's enough for two light eaters to share.

Depending on the time, it can get quite crowded. I came in around 9:30am and by the time I got to checkout, the baristas ran out of dine-in mugs. Which is why I opted for an iced americano. It had a nice creama layer and a well balanced flavor. Not too acidic or bitter. I got the french onion soup, labeled as a popular item/staple of the bakery. It is quite a lot of soup, I wish it came with a side of bread/sourdough as towards the end it was all soup and nothing to contrast it. It was nicely broiled at the top with some small pieces of bread and a healthy layer of cheese that made it so exciting to eat. Even the crust of the bread had some crunch although fully soaked. The bakery has wifi which is really handy since I think reception in that area wasn't the best. Wifi password is displayed at the register. I will come back to try the sandwiches!

I have yet to try their croissants, but I plan to try them. Their hours are a little bit odd so make sure you check their website. I think they're closed Monday through Wednesday. It's a huge bummer because sometimes I have Mondays off and I wanted to get a cup of coffee and then I found out they were closed. There is not any place to sit, unfortunately otherwise I would come much more often but that's probably a good thing for my waistline ;) Parking is a little bit tight. There's more parking near the Goodwill and the back.

Stoped by for the first time. I happened to be picking up an order next door and saw their sign…read more I was warmly greeted by the owner when I walked in. He explained that they are a small batch bakery. All the pastries, behind the glass, looked amazing and were decorated so beautifully. I decided to get one Lemon-Raspberry Meringue Tart and one Mix Berry Vanilla Creme Tart. Mr. Manaois boxed up my selections and helped me at the register. They also gave many varieties of hot beverages, sweet and savory scones and sweet and savory croissants. There are also a lot of different pastries. This would be a great place to have a small relaxing breakfast. There are several places inside to enjoy your goodies. Both desserts, that I purchased, were so delicious. My favorite was the lemon raspberry meringue tart. The tartness of the lemon-raspberry filling worked so perfectly with the delicious sweet meringue. I will definitely come here again to try other items.

The design was so classy, elegant, and truly above my expectations. You can really see the care and creativity that went into making it. My husband was so happy when he saw it, and it made the celebration even more special for us. I also want to give a special thanks to the manager at the San Jose location. When I mentioned that we would be traveling in the car for about 7 hours, they were so kind and helpful in giving us options to make sure the cake would stay perfect during the trip. Their suggestion worked so well! Overall, I am beyond satisfied with both the cake and the wonderful customer service. Highly recommend! Thank you for making our celebration extra special.

It was also very very expensive. I'd recommend going to Lady M in Valley Fair for better crepe cakes.

Think of an elevated apple pie or even an elevated McDonald's apple pie. Don't skip out, try it ! Also had the coconut brioche, very light but not much coconut flavor.

On the savory side, the Spam and egg sando hit all the right notes savory, rich, a little nostalgic, and exactly what you want out of a breakfast handheld. The breakfast sando was just as solid: fresh bread, well-balanced, and genuinely satisfying. These aren't your average grab-and-go sandwiches; there's real thought behind them. Then dessert, which is where I'd say don't even hesitate. The pandan mochi was soft, chewy, and fragrant in the best way. And the strawberry yuzu scone? Buttery, crisp at the edges, with that bright citrus-berry combo that keeps it from being too sweet. Easily one of the better scones I've had.

My daughter was home last Friday and was craving their spaghetti buns. She called Clover a little bit before their closing and found out that they still had one spaghetti bun left. The lady answering the call was very nice and agreed to hold it for her. We drove there immediately and arrived right before they closed at 5pm. We're not surprised that they had barely anything left on the shelves when we got there. Fortunately, they still had some colorful meringue, which my daughter couldn't resist. Need to go there earlier next time. I really miss their katsu sandwich/spaghetti lunch set, rice balls and musubi's. They also have a good selection of both savory and sweet pastries at very reasonable prices. Their cake and cookies are also cute and not too sweet. My daughter loves their Italian sodas as well.

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!
