The food quality stands out, with fresh ingredients, delicious flavors, and affordable prices. Friendly, welcoming service is a recurring highlight, often described as warm and attentive. The coffee, particularly Vietnamese-style, and baked goods like donuts and bagels also receive high marks.

Customer Reviews

This place is AWESOME and the food is impeccable! And the staff is amazing!

Service here is great. They really move fast for big orders and for the cafe size, there is variety. They are mostly known for their Bahn mi. It's easy to grab and go and ask for specific sweets. Do check them out!

Passable Grilled Pork Banh Mi, light on meat, a bit heavy on the bread. Likely the only Vietnamese option in Japantown, a plus ?though not worth going out of one?s way to visit.

Great coffee and vegan options for the bahn mi sandwiches. I ordered the Veggie bahn mi and a carmel macchiato, and it was delicious ?? Great alternative to the genocide supporting coffee conglomerate Starbucks!

I have been living in Atlanta for 3 years and this is the best food I have eating in the US. The ingredients are so fresh and tasty. The service was incredible I'm absolutely in love with this

Great banh mi the veggie one has some really good cha lua chay, wished it was open on weekends. Love the lady who runs it too!

The Owner makes one of the best banh-mi sandwiches. I choose the tofu and I LOVE it every time ?? Fast, friendly service, and there are many other pastry/donut options available. Don't pass up this place! ??

Great donuts, tasty banh mi and friendly shop manager!

Great food and everyone is so friendly!

I didn?t know amazing places like Le Croissant Cafe still existed in big American cities. From the moment you walk in you?re greeted by the warm welcome of the cashier. This is the type of small place where the cashier remembers the orders of her regulars. I love the simple hole in the wall appearance. They had this delicious vegetarian Bhan mi (tofu&veggie ham) that was just phenomenal. If you?re looking for a refreshing old school experience check this place out.

Best banh mi in the area. Nice workers! Great food. 10 out of 10!!!

Solid bahn mi. Affordable price

This was by far our favorite eating place while in San Fransisco, and was totally unplanned. We were in our way to lands end and decided we needed a little something to eat. Very friendly, great tasting and good pricing, the whole trip my wife kept asking if we could go back. It was the best. No exaggerating, best croissant I've ever had.

Friendliest blueberry muffin I?ve ever been served. And mighty tasty to boot!

Excellent grilled pork banh mi!

Little hidden gem of a place. The chicken sandwich I got was ridiculously good and the woman working was so friendly that it just made my day. The location is a little strange but the food more than makes up for it.

Vietnamese sandwiches here are amazing. Extra pickles for a small charge and they add in a little jalape?os to give them a little kick. $6! Park at the Japan Annex Garage or there's some street parking around the corner off Geary.

Strong coffee. The shop keeper was very friendly. Too bad they don?t open on weekends.

Super friendly, great donuts, and coffee

Best banh mi in the neighborhood! The service is great too, super friendly.

Try the chocolate eclairs They're less oily but with Large size, I took it for a ride home.

I?d come here every day if I could. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious and the price is right
