The flavors here are always so astounding: fresh, bread!, many influences, and leaving you with the feeling of being happy to be alive. Easily one of my top three places to eat in the SF Bay Area.
This is not the place if you don't like to be close to your neighbors! :) Couple of the tables are similar to big picnic tables which are share with others. Food is good. Friendly staff.
The breads are fantastically old school, a bakers breakfastsando & espresso or their unique blueberry muffins make a great start, and you gotta try a crispychocolate chip cookie.
The food is excellent. I like the slow food movement, but my latte took forever to come out. My dream of a pastry and coffee turned into "pastry then coffee". Tip: wait to eat your pastry.
Lots of character in this cafe/bakery. Tried four different pastries and two breads. The breads were ok, but pastries were good: fruit gallete, fruit tart, hampastry.
Delicious...but be ready to wait. Wait to be seated. Wait for a server. Wait for your order to be taken. Wait a longer time for your food... Even to go... It'll be a while. Don't if you're in a hurry.
You know you hit the jackpot when everyone at the table stops talking upon food arrival and all you hear are mmm's and yum's. crab bennie, biscuit gravy...
The BLT was excellent and the homegrown heirloom tomatoes really stood out. Though they don't sell them individually, they comped me the most amazing bowl of tomato soup I've ever eaten.
