The chocolate pastry was good, although the chocolate on the outside was all burnt. The chocolate on the inside was proper.
The ricotta cake was incredibly dense and flavorless, and the frosting much too sweet. Didn't even finish this one.

I was very excited to try this spot, and read a lot about it from the great reviews. But a couple of factors made the experience not as enjoyable as it could be.
Firstly, after ordering the brownie and espresso macchiato I noticed that the cost of the two items didn’t add up, and after reviewing my receipt there it was, the sneaky SF “employee mandate” where some local restaurants think the customers should be responsible for paying for their worker’s health insurance and not the employer themselves. At least the majority of restaurants that do, have it listed on their menu, but not here. It’s just a 6% charge snuck into the bill, and to my understanding, no mention on the menu online or in the store.
Also you have to order at the register, grab your own food items, utensils, seat yourself, clean your table before you sit and after when you’re done, yet they still ask for a tip on top of a charge they snuck in. A tip for what exactly, I’m not sure.
I am giving it a 3/5 across the board because the halva brownie was chalk dry, but the macchiato was good. Atmosphere is charming to some degree but you’re rushed to leave since you feel bad about how small the space is and want to not to over stay. And service, well there wasn’t any, but the cashier was very nice at least.

FYI a 6% employee benefits mandate is added to bills. This isn’t mentioned on the menu at all.

Great pastries and coffee. Counter service can use some work as we had to wait 15 minutes for out coffees and we were pretty much done with our pastries

I went here with a friend, and one of us was about to sit down while the other placed an order when one of the employees told us that we had to place an order before anyone sat at the table.
This is a fair rule and would have been totally fine, except that another group was saving a different table (just a few feet away) with their sunglasses. Enforcing a rule like this to some customers but not others is unreasonable.

Absolutely charming spot! With amazing mid day light and refined antique aesthetic, they serve top notch coffee and baked goods. The environment is comfortable and unrushed. Babka, chocolate labneh cake, cream puffs and floral cakes, it's really hard to go wrong with the selection and quality.
A very picturesque cafeteria with 7 tables inside and a very cozy atmosphere. Antique lamps and Art Deco atmosphere. The sweets are delicious and the coffee is unbeatable. The waitresses are very polite and helpful.
Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian sweets and also savory ones.

We stopped in for breakfast and tried to have one of everything because of how beautiful the baked goods are! So glad we did—shared the breakfast platter which was unique and so very delicious, as well as cake, cookies and coffees. So glad we were there with 4 people so that we could taste many things!

They offer a good variety of options, but the place wasn't clean, and the service was slow. It didn't feel like a typical café experience. Ultimately, the food was too sweet.
