The food was so good. The only thing I had hoped for more of was tuna salad, and I didn't get any tomatoes. I didn't complain about it because it was good without them. But I'll definitely order it again and make sure it comes with tomatoes. So I'll be able to give a review on that. The soup was so hot and delicious. Very cheesy. Saw they have the clam chowder. I really want to try that. The service was good, and the ambiance was quiet and relaxing. read more

I ordered the tuna sandwich and clam chowder. They were so stingy on the tuna that the sandwich was mainly bread. The clam chowder was fishy tasting. Never again. read more

We ordered 2 pieces of cake with our delivery order from San Francisco Bread Co. in Hot Springs. One of the pieces was about half the size of the other, so I contacted the restaurant to request a refund for the 1 piece of cake. Not only did they refuse to refund the $7 for the cake, but accused me of eating it. She said "how do I know you didn't eat it and just want a refund" We have been customers there since they opened, but will never go there again. read more

The place was so nice and spacious and decorated beautifully. The cheesecake was out of this world delicious! So many desserts and cheesecakes to choose from! The service was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable of the desserts! Love this place and will definitely recommend and return! read more

Everything we have ever tried is really good, but my personal favorite is the bread bowl with broccoli and cheese soup. Service is fast for take out, but we never eat inside so I'm not sure how it is for dine in. Oh, and their sweets are delicious too! read more

We love the atmosphere for casual dining. It's got regular café seating, or you can lounge on a nice stuffed sofa or chair and relax with a coffee and a delicious dessert item. Their soups and sandwiches are very good. They have daily specials. The prices are reasonable, the employees friendly. read more

I ordered a plain ham sandwich with chips and a drink. They handed me the chips and I filled my fountain drink then waited 35 minutes for my plain ham sandwich with no reason why. The customers behind me got there but yet I waited... and waited... and waited. First time visiting this place and also my last. $14 I'll never get back. Such a waste. read more

Service was great. Food was wonderful. Ice tea was great as well. . The restaurant is clean and restrooms were very clean. Classic baked potato was great! Ruben panini was very good. Baked potato soup in bread bowl was excellent. Our next trip to Hot Springs area will definitely include another stop at the San Francisco Bread restaurant! read more

We were told this place was like Panera, but with a bigger menu, and the food was supposed to be just as good. Boy, we were misled. I ordered the 49er sandwich and a cup of potato soup. The sandwich was soggy and the meat and veggies were sparse. The soup was just above room temp and not flavorful at all. My wife ordered a bagel and lox. Not only did she not get it, when they finally brought it it was terrible. Apparently they don't know what lox is. Instead, what she got a salmon cake with capers on a bagel, and it was not edible. My brother got a southwest chicken panini, and he said it was just ok. Our first and last time eating there. Too many other places to go in Hot Springs to waste money at this place. Next time it will be Rocky's Corner, David's Burgers, Capos Tacos or anywhere else but this place. read more

Great ciabatta bread on my brisket panini & good salad dressing on my Greek salad. The brisket was almost non-existent though. Really ridiculous- I've posted pics. It was one of their featured specials too. The place was clean & the staff was friendly. read more

A real hangout place in Hot Springs if only they could make it more hospitable. By 6PM, the chairs in front of the TV were turned over, the pungent smell of still wet Fabuloso welcomed you as you walked in. The restaurant closes at 9PM but the staff was ready to go home, d-med be the customer. A couple ordered and quickly ate their food in silence probably because their eyes were stinging from the freshly applied floor chemicals. The only other place I've experienced this kind of veiled rejection as a customer was at a local Mexican restaurant which rhymes with Don Jon. Why is this indifference and lack of hospitality spreading through our town? It felt as if the staff couldn't wait for us to leave so they could go home. They did not appreciate us being there. read more

Great place to have a meeting and a cup of coffee. The people taking orders are always nice to me, and the seating layout coupled with free wifi makes this my go-to place to chill, chat, and get work done. read more

Traveling with pups and popped in here for takeout. So glad I did. The guy at the front (didn't catch his name but younger guy) was so nice and made my sister and I something off menu from the coffee bar we requested. The coffee was amazing that he made. I'm a coffee snob and it was amazing. My turkey bacon panini was also good and so was my sisters wrap. I don't understand the bad reviews but def keep the young guy working at the register/coffee bar. Oh and everyone was masked that I saw and covid friendly which has been a challenge to find in some businesses in Arkansas. read more

Well, where should I begin. I stopped in on January 26th 2023 at 4:30pm and I was expecting to get a nice hot cup of coffee but instead I got ice cold coffee from the self serve coffee dispenser after already paying for it. I informed the employee at the counter about the coffee being cold, and she replied, "Yes, I know it was made at 7am this morning." This practice goes against the industry standard for restaurants to brew a new pot of coffee after 4 hours to maintain freshness and to ensure that the coffee has not become contaminated due to being in a public dispensing area. I asked the employee if there was any hot coffee available. The employee said "No there isn't any hot coffee made, but I can see if I can get you a refund or you can put your cup in the microwave to warm up your coffee." It seems rather disturbing that an employee would rather offer a refund which would cost a business money instead of make fresh coffee. Unfortunately, the staff is not well informed about the fire dangers of putting Styrofoam products in the microwave and the cancer causing health risks of consuming food/drinks from microwaved containers. After several back and forth comments with the employee, she finally agreed to make a fresh pot of coffee. I am surprised by this restaurant on how it has changed. For years, I have stopped in for a cup of coffee, a cup of soup, and even brought my family in for meals on many occasions. Unfortunately, the quality of service is not like it has been in the past. I have concerns about the safety and the quality of the food they are preparing, especially since the employees don't seem to care about the customer. read more

Ordered the gyro wrap with lamb. The pita bread was served cold and the lamb was way over done. Not a very good wrap at all. I usually like this place as well as the food, hope they do better. read more

We stopped here for breakfast. The food was satisfactory and the service was quick. They did have smoothies for the member of our party that was gluten free. read more

Fabulous bread! Warm-crunchy-delish. The cookies were amazing, too. Huge for the price. read more

I should have gone to Subway and saved the money. The club sandwich is tasteless and sloppy. The "loaded" soup was not loaded at all. The bacon was dry and had nooo flavor. It lacked imagination and was a huge let down. I have heard a lot of hype and I don't get it... EVEN THE CHEESECAKE WAS GROSS!! The flavor was OK but it was obviously old and dried out. Not creamy or rich like you would hope. The customer service was also nearly non-existant. Nobody smiled or had a kind word. I will say the atmosphere was nice and comfy though. I just wouldn't spend my money here again. read more

San Francisco Bread - Club sandwich, loaded baked potato soup combo - Bakeries Near Me - Hot Springs, Arkansas

The best part was the young lady who waited on me. Bagels were stale, no cream cheese, quiche was served cold, had to ask for it to heated, then ask for a fork. Coffee was marginal at best. First clue should have been no customers on a Sunday morning. read more

Customer service is basically non-existent. The grilled wrap was not warmed through. Taste and speed was decent. I know it's hard to find good help, but come on.. this is a sit down restaurant @ 6:15pm. Be available to help your customers. Waited at the register for a good 2 minutes before I gave up and wrapped my leftovers up in my chip bag - then she shows up to sweep the entrance/exit as I am leaving and did not even look up or say a word. Sad. read more

Maybe Covid-19 put a damper on things, I'm not sure, but I just had the worst experience at San Francisco Bread. I walked in to get a sweet treat and a coffee. The ladies working up front had no idea what was going on. I ordered an iced coffee, waited for 10 minutes, and the worker walked out and told me they didn't have iced coffee. I opted to get warm brewed coffee, walked over to the container, and it was empty. read more

Never ate at this franchise but compare to a St. Louis Bread Co or McAllister Deli. The paninis & wraps were full of meat with great tastes. The cheesecakes were wonderful. Older customers when we were there which made for a quiet lunch but our group enjoyed the stop. read more

It's just ok cafeteria. Self service basically. With common snake, soup, bakery... it sounds like a good idea for office workers read more

I was staying in Hot Springs for a night and needed a quick bite. San Francisco Bread Co. was the right choice! Food was ready when I picked it up just a few minutes after ordering. The staff was extremely friendly and polite and the food was excellent. I got the portobello club which was one of the best portobello sandwiches I've had in quite a while. It was also nice I could order just a half. If you need a quick and delicious bite, give them a try! read more

Very similar to Panera and Atlanta Bread Company. Free WiFi. Spacious dining room with outlets near tables. Kids eat free after 5pm. The food is really good! read more

This used to be my favorite place in Hot Springs. I've been going there for a long time, and in spite of the fact they would forget my order half the time, they always knew I would be back soon for a bagel or cheesecake. I even forgave the guy vacuuming the floor one time when he rudely snapped at me to get out of my chair where I was eating and out of his way. But a few days ago something happened that scarred my relationship with these people forever. A lady came in with two little girls, one that looked about 8 and the other maybe 5. She constantly yelled at them, using profanity, F-this and F-ing that. They were at the table right next to me and my boyfriend, and when it didn't stop after at least 10 minutes, I finally went to the counter and told someone about it. The employee went to the back and came back in a few minutes, looked at the floor, fiddled with her hands, and said, "I-I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about it... That's the owner's wife." ......I was stunned. Let me repeat: THE OWNER'S WIFE. I would insert my opinion here, but I think I've said enough without it. It will be a cold day in hell before I grace their doorstep again. read more

Fresh food great deserts friendly staff. Manager came to our table to visit and chatted with us. It has been soo long since that has happened to us at a franchise. How refreshing. read more

Such a yummy breakfast! We both had Sunrise Omelettes with sourdough toast. That, and a great cup of coffee. Nice to treat ourselves through all the pandemic to a restaurant that follows mask and social distancing guidelines. read more

This is not I repeat NOT real sourdough. soooo disappointing. I got the loaded potato soup in a bread bowl and the bread bowl was absolutely the definition of French bread with zero flavor or buttery texture. Also, the soup was basically milk and potatoes and lacked any salt whatsoever. My boyfriend got the turkey sandwich and had one slice on lunch meat on the French bread they called sourdough. I gave one star because you can't give zero and another for the cozy interior. read more

Had lunch heat yesterday. Salads are good. They have really cut back on the portions. Their Rueben sandwich is really good. Workers are not very friendly...never have been. read more

It's ridiculous this is that was a terrible place a service just really sucks they were like we could hear several people in the back talking and that was one girl at the counter and she was on the phone and wouldn't even look at us of so many girls decide we left a mile turn left onto Warner Street read more

Nothing like walking into a totally empty coffee shop, having the guy behind the counter glare at you, and the only words he tells you are how much you owe him. On top of that my cappuccino was the blandest cappuccino ever. read more

OMG delicious..went here for a meeting today and no one showed up..but who cares the food was what i stuck around for..my first time eating..and i cant wait to go back.. I had the meditranean (sp?) wrap with sun chips and sprite and took home some AWESOME peanut better cheesecake. let me say they have cheesecake as far as the eye can see..DELICIOUS... and they have free WIFI and a big screen tv..was awesome..cant wait to go back read more

Not worth the trip. They have WiFi though if you need internet access.

This is a great place- also very nice that your child can eat free after 5pm. The owners are very receptive to suggestions or issues. There have been several times that I've studied here as it is one of the few places in town that you can go to that has free wifi and quiet environment. I only wish they were open later or didn't close early sometimes. read more

I'm from San Francisco and love sourdough bread. Theirs is good, but when I go in to buy a loaf, they are usually out. Help! Make me a regular customer! Living in this heat is tough enough! read more

They have a good breakfast burrito here; several versions. I like the southwest. Free wifi.

Their bagels are ok but their supposedly sourdough bread is more like white bread with a tough crust. My husband and I ordered the same club sandwich. Mine was fine but his was mostly bread and lettuce with only two tiny slices of lunch meat he felt so cheated! read more

We had a really good meal here! Our sandwiches came out swiftly and their cookies are delicious. I am excited to come back and try a different sandwich. read more

We took a chance on a new sandwich shop. This was great. The sandwiches were delicious. The salad was fresh and crisp. We will eat here again. read more
