Most likely I've gotten food poison here after eating a chicken Bagel. I spent the next 3 days in bed with vomit and diarrhea...

This place deserves more recognition. It’s 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. It’s peaceful too. Support small businesses!

This place is an absolute gem. Open earlier than any other coffee shop in the area, serves a delicious breakfast sandwich, and has a cosy feel to it. Will be my go-to spot when I next visit the wharf.

We had coffee (city roast), glazed donut and an egg, bacon & cheese croissant breakfast sandwich.

The owner (I assume from all the locals grabbing their morning coffee) is a seasoned veteran of the deli counter business.

There is some seating inside, but if you're staying in a hotel around the area it's a quick walk to bring your food to the comfort of your room.

The coffee was delicious and strong (I find the drip coffee is weak in SF, I assume it's due to the preference of barista-served coffee here) . The donut was the same fresh ones that seem to be delivered to the coffee shops around here; nothing wrong with it, though.

The breakfast sandwich was delicious. Fresh scrambled egg on a bed of crisp bacon dripping in American cheese nestled in the soft folds of a buttery croissant. The only slight to the sandwich is the use of packaged precooked bacon, but that is understandable given the setup of the shop, how busy he is and the speediness of precooked bacon.

Overall, the best breakfast sandwich I've had yet. I would definitely recommend it.

My bagel with cream cheese had no cream cheese on it. When I went up to ask them to please put cream cheese on my bagel they didn’t seem to understand so I left. Line moved extremely slow and coffee was terrible. Other than that great place!

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 it's really cute. The food was good - yes they microwaved the croissant sandwich but it's 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!

Came here twice with the family for breakfast. The service could be a bit slow. The egg sandwiches were microwaved but the kids ate it no problem. A bit overpriced for the quality but the portions are big so you will be stuffed.

Depending on what you want, Starbucks may be a better option.

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.
