Fox and lion bread has some fresh and delicious food. I personally like the bread and my son's favorite pizza is from there. Xan works very hard to please her customers. She's passionate and you can see it/taste it on the food she serves.

My first impression: horrible customer service. I walked in and was curious about their bakery. I'm new to the area and wanted know how long they've been around. I asked a few normal questions- trying to spark a friendly conversation. In response, the owner was extremely standoffish and short with me. I did not feel welcome at all, there was no warm greeting when I entered but her demeanor changed dramatically when my wife came in (who is white) They gave her a menu but never offered one to me. After I decided I didn't want the menu I went back to return it so I didn't waste it and when I walked in the owner was saying "why does it matter how long we've been here". Pretty rude. We will not be back. Why would you react negatively to a black man entering your business when your business is in a black neighborhood?

Best Pizza and bread in San Francisco. Square pizza is having its moment and Fox and Lion has the best in town. Incredible loaves to go and sandwiches and salads as well. Highly recommended for a neighborhood place as well as destination for those in search of great sourdough and pizza.

Got the bagels on a whim as to not come to gathering empty handed and boy were we surprised. These are honestly the best bagels in SF. No business being this good. Tastes like a small batch and really well crafted. The breakfast sandwich was really good too. Interesting to use a fritatta as the egg in the sandwich. Will def come back especially in the neighborhood.

Fine bread and pizza, highly addictive great old school cinnamon rolls. I was really happy to see the reconfiguration of the soon to be open, again! seating area inside. Good coffee too!

Was working in the Bay Area for a few days and my fiancé told me to look at this menu as he was going to bring me lunch. He got me the Nicos original salad!! Omg the salad was amazing!! Can't wait to visit again soon.

Sandwich is one of the best. Coffee is really good

You know what's underrated? A god damn good sandwich. And I'm not talking about the $19 sandwich that falls apart when you try to bite into it. I'm not talking about the sandwich that has an over-easy egg that ultimately runs down your chin so that you literally and figuratively have egg on your face. Im talking about a sandwich that makes you think of a Bach fugue. Where the meat is the soprano, the alto is the veggies/spread, and the bread is the bass. All working in perfect contrapuntal harmony within the insides of your mouth. I'm talking about a god damn sandwich that has proper proportions, flavorful ingredients, radical bread, and that stays together the whole way through. The fillings of a sandwich don't mean s*** if the bread isn't radical. I had the breakfast frittata sandwich and the very nice human working the register recommended the "Mary's" sandwich, which had turkey, mozzarella, peppers, and onion. Both were extremely delicious and makes me want to come back and try other offerings. In an area surrounded by fried food, burritos, and Chinese food, this is a great option for when you want to feel full but not hate yourself afterwards. Check how many reviews I've done. It's not many. That's because I'm just a simple man. A simple man, who, at the very end of the day in this cold and bitter world governed by American imperialism, loves himself a god damn good sandwich.

First time here. Ordered an iced coffee only to find out it was $6. It was small and ... fine. Mostly ice and just ... way too expensive. I can't afford to come back here

Wish they had vegan cheese for the pizza. The pepperoni on the "vegan" pizza was good. Update: they have vegan mozzarella :)

Often in the neighborhood and Fox and Lion is the perfect place to grab a cup of joe, a sandwich, a freshly baked baguette for your avocado toast, or a pizza to be heated for dinner later...whatever it is, everything is just so darn good. Highly recommend the Green Dream sandwich--marinated artichokes, sliced roasted potatoes, balsamic onions, avocado, and lettuce on a baguette slathered with green olive tapenade, mustard, and chili oil. Omnomnomz for days... Xan is such a presence that it's almost inevitable that Fox and Lion will be more than San Francisco's best kept secret and explode into the scene. You heard it here first. Bonus: check out their t-shirts. How cute are they?! Someone get me one, small please. =)
