“ Only place in the area thats open at 6am. Decent selection of quick to go breakfast food. One of the best made English muffin with sausage and egg Ive had. The old gentleman running the place is very nice and can see that a lot of his regulars coming in early in the morning to get their breakfast from him. ”
“ This place deserves more recognition. Its a small business that many seem to miss a lot knowing how many tourist attractions are around here. I am having a Ham, Turkey bacon club sandwich from here. It is excellent. I highly recommend the blended drinks too. Its peaceful too. Support small businesses! ”
“ Honestly, I love to visit places like this. It is a small shop and you can tell the owner poured their heart and soul out into it. The place has their little touches all it and its really cute. The food was good yes they microwaved the croissant sandwich but its not like it was a frozen sandwich to begin with. It all tasted great, the coffee was good. If you need snacks and stuff, you can purchase it here as well. The service was a little slow but it was the one person there so understandable! Such a cute little shop and great place to get a bite to eat! ”
“ This place has the best apple fritters I have ever had. Beautiful doughnuts and good sandwiches. ”
“ Stumbled upon this little gem while walking around San Francisco. It is ran by one person, so be patient, everything you get will be worth it. The Vietnamese coffee is one of the best I have ever had!! I also had a bagel with cream cheese, and even though that sounds very plain, it was not, the way it was cooked made it so delicious. We stopped in one last time before leaving town and will miss it greatly. ”
“ This little mom and pop shop was an absolute life saver when we visited SF. All the restaurants closed early for 4th of July and the ones that were still open had lines for hours. I was impressed with how good my Bahn Mi sandwich was, considering it wasnt authentic. 1010 service. ”
“ By far the best breakfast sandwich Ive ever had. The donuts were super fresh! Will be making this a regular stop when we come to visit San Francisco! ”
“ A hidden gem in the fishermans wharf area. Great bahn mi sandwiches at half the price of the nearest similar place. The bahn mi sandwich I got was large, beautifully toasted, spicy, and really well seasoned. ”
