Christine B.Christine Bower: BEST JUKEBOX in SF; not a single bad tune: Bowie, Buzzcocks, Beasties; Misfits, Melvins, Magnetic Fields. Fried chicken is well worth the 20-minute wait; pork belly donuts WILL change your life.

Stephen G.Stephen Garcia: The pork belly donuts were kind of insane. Gratuitous but tasty.

Sara R.Sara Robertson: Pork-belly donuts covered in a bourbon-maple glaze. I'll dream about them for weeks

Bloomingdale'sBloomingdale's: There’s nothing more civilized than weekend afternoon tea. Especially if you consume the finger sandwiches and scones amid the splendiferous turn-of-the-century trappings.

Trishia P.Trishia Pascobillo: Afternoon tea for two, with champagne was lovely. Had the 100 anniversary tea...loved the florals and warm scones :) The Pear finger sandwich was my favorite.

Anton S.Anton Shuster: Come here for a ludicrously expensive high tea, and you'll feel like the Queen as you daintily bite into your finger sandwiches and scones.

ClareClare: Excellent espresso, friendly service and a gem for the area. The baked goods are great too - I recommend the donut!

Luke B.Luke Bornheimer: Sextant recently switched to Neighbor Bakehouse pastries, which means (1) they have delicious and unique pastries and (2) they carry the best (blackberry pistachio) almond croissant you'll ever have.

Andreea N.Andreea N: They are super friendly and have a good selection of coffee and pastries. They also roast coffee on premises, have wifi and a fairly quiet atmosphere for some solo work during the week.
