Just know what you're getting yourself into. Long line. No place to sit after, no real 'vibe', but the croissant was good amazing jush ehh, pain chocolate had plenty of chocolate and kouign amann was ok.People were friendly once you got inside.
I'm a local. Came here before they were voted best in all the nation by Bon Appetite Magazine. The high quality has remained the same. No skimping. When they run out, they run out. I EASILY drop $$ without blinking an eye because it has never failed me. Great gifts (yes, seriously- these croissant have absolute street credit as a gift. They should be legal tender!) I've had everything here, my all time favorite is the Ham & Cheese - it beats Tartine hands down! Plain, chocolate, almond, almond/ chocolate (too sweet- IMO), savory scone, currant scone, kouign-amann, cookies, morning bun, etc - all yum! Get phat and enjoy the simple things in life! Worth the wait.

Almond chocolate croissant is one of the best baked goods in SF.

Flaky buttery goodness. Wish croissants were $4-5 but for $6 not bad for sf. They only had chocolate and plain, hence the 4 star review; quality was 5/5 and price 3/5 overall solid 4! Bon appetit! 🥐
Definitely the best croissants but no seating no service and almost always a long wait but the line moves quickly. Don't be afraid to wait behind 30 people in line. Parking is very difficult here. These pastries are not cheap but they are worth it.

I just came back from Paris a few weeks ago and had many croissants out there. Sadly the only one that tasted good was one that was locally made in a rural town outside of Paris. Hands down Arsicault still has my croissant obsessed heart. Their ham & cheese and pain au chocolate is spectacular!

Croissants are heavenly. Scones are not worth getting.

Best bakery in SF. There’s usually about 10-15 min wait - but well worth it. My favorite is the chocolate almond croissant - might be too sweet for some but I’d recommend not to eat all of it and save some for later. The chocolate chip cookie is really good too and they have a new monkey bread on the menu that’s delicious. Honestly have tried almost everything on the menu and I haven’t been disappointed
I remember when they used to let you dine in the tiny store, now it is only counter only. Workers work fast and it is always about a 30 minute wait. Easy-medium for residential parking nearby. I do like the ham and cheese crossiant. I usually also come for the clement st sunday farmer's market and palmetto superfood acai bowls nearby (walking distance). The coffee store next door's coffee is meh. I also love the shortbread cookies I have here as well. Offerings are limited. It is a traditional style crossaint. They only have 6 flavors. Both my sister and my mom like the fake crossiants at costco more since these crossiants are super crispy.

I’m from out of town and learned about this place from social media. The hype is real and the croissants are amazing, they’re the best I’ve ever had in the United States. Shoutout to their almond croissants.

Hey its Gerard
Might be just hype. No lounge, no space to chill. Mostly a to go thing. Checked it out because it is popular, always a line. Coffee and pastries like any other cafe
