Great customer service but unfortunately, we found all the pastries and bread to be rather stale and like cardboard… perhaps they’re using cheap ingredients. There’s better around.

I got the stonefruit toast (highly recommend, all of the flavors felt so light and everything was fresh), tomato pie, and hazelnut croissant. Everything was so tasty. Their iced latte also hit the spot.
Excited to try their loaves

Very nice “hole in the wall” bakery-café. The hot cappuccino was solid. The beans may not be top-notch, but at $5, it’s good value compared to other places on Cortland Street.

Enjoyed this caprese sandwich that I picked up at the Stonestown Farmers Market. It is DIVINE! Fresh, flavorful, and the bread is delicious!! Great crew working there too!!

Absolutely love this spot when I visit Bernal Heights. They have a great selection of pastries and bread. Pizza on the weekends is great, too! Friendly folks and great food.

Love this new addition to Bernal heights. Must try their breakfast sandwich, Prosciutto baguette, and croissants! Highly recommend.

I've been here a few times and really want to love this place—it has a charming vibe and super friendly staff. But overall, the baked goods haven’t quite lived up to the high bar set by places like Arizmendi in the Mission.
Bread & Focaccia:
- The focaccia (tried twice) was on the dry side both times—I'd skip it.
- The baguettes and loaves (~$10) are good but not exceptional—at that price point.
Still Curious:
Haven’t tried the pizza yet, but have heard great things. That might be where they really shine—will update once I give it a shot!

We got pizza and a loaf of the seeded sourdough bread and it was delicious! We loved the bread especially for avocado toast, it was super delicious! Kai went above and beyond and was extremely welcoming and warm, even though we came in just minutes before closing. She took her time, asked us if we wanted the pizza warmed up, and truly was so friendly we had to give a shout out!

INSANELY good! Wow. We were blown away by their croissants and bread, closest I’ve felt to eating high quality baked goods in Europe. Service is great and the owners are the sweetest. What a hidden gem, must try!
Solid chocolate croissant for about $6

the barista was so lackluster when it came to customer service and i wish i never tipped her. her matcha sucked it was just straight up milk. the only thing saving this establishment is the cook who was very sweet and obviously knows how to do her job. hire better baristas. this is coming from someone who has years of barista experience. do better :). for an over priced cafe, the experience could’ve been so much better.

Cute spot serving up great food. I've had their sourdough pizza before and it was great. This time around I had their apple cider donut. The donut is to die for. It's soft, moist, and perfectly sweetened. 10/10 recommend. The indoor space is small so I wouldn't plan on eating inside.
