Breck's

Too bad that they close so early, but with this only drawback the place is perfect. We have been coming here with my friends for months and always met with good quality wines, affordable snack options and relaxing ambiance!

Really cool place. You can grab some coffee, breakfast pastry, a meal, or some wine.

My happy place! I go there every day! The staff is the best, the coffee is great, the wine selection is excellent and reasonably priced, and the food can be exactly what you need, casual, but perfect for a busy day when you only have time for a quick breakfast or lunch. I sometimes take it to go, sometimes enjoy it there on their sunny terrace. Everything works at Breck's, it's so convenient yet so pleasant. It's a great breakfast spot, coffee spot, lunch spot and happy hour spot! Can't wait to check out their new indoor wine bar. So excited that they have expanded!

I haven't had any complaints about Breck's. Both the coffee and the food are delicious. Would do it again. Arsicault is next door on Arguello so take advantage of that.

I like the avocado toast. Good customer service and nice outdoor seating.

Very nice little cafe, serves Verve coffee which I like- it's pretty smooth and not very bitter or acidic. They also have a pretty large wine selection, both to enjoy at the cafe or bottles for purchase to take home. There is some outdoor seating, so I love to come here on a sunny day. There is limited indoor seating, but it's a nice atmosphere. The staff is super nice. This is a top spot for me.

Great vibe and chill atmosphere. It's a local hangout. Many locals come here for brunch or to sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine or beer and chat with friends. I noticed a young, hip crowd as well as an older mature crowd. I noticed quiet a few ladies of various ages dining solo. Couples also come in and out. It is a dog friendly place and there is a jar of cookie bones on the counter.

Stopped in for lunch and food was great. Good option for fresh meal option with the salad and avocado toast. Service was a little strange and place could have used some cleanup (dirty dishes piling up at service station, no napkins, etc).

This delightful shop stands next to the Arsicault Bakery, and so it was a natural and easy choice to take our croissants from next door and order breakfast here. A breakfast sandwich, and avocado toast, and a cappuccino, and a glass of strawberry lemonade. The seating outside was full in the sun, but the heat was mitigated by a cool San Francisco breeze. The avocado toast was a tiny bit disappointing; it could have used more lime or other spices. The breakfast sandwich was very good. The strawberry lemonade was GREAT! One of the best I’ve had. I think it was so good because it was half strawberry and half lemonade-drinks of this sort are usually most lemonade with just a little of the other flavoring. The strawberry in this case was quite present, and that made the drink quite good, quite special.

They take their coffee and wine very seriously. Brecks has an excellent selection of both. Nice vibe inside and lots of outside seating to enjoy the neighborhood and good weather. Lots of folks working on their laptops, sure beats a cubicle!

Today I visited for the first time. Love their coffee and breakfast sandwich. When I asked one of the staff a question, I was shocked at the look and the way she answered. Other than that everything was good, very good variety of food and coffee. Thank you!

We came here to grab coffee to go with pastries from Arsicault, which I suspect is the case for almost all of their morning business. Nearly everybody on the outdoor patio had white bags with coffee, and there are no other coffee shops or bakeries nearby... Logic dictates it's a mutually beneficial pairing. The coffee was fine, but there was a blasé attitude about it. Almost like our business was annoying. And there's a sign on the trash that states explicitly "no Arsicault bags". Look, I, and many others I suspect, wouldn't have bought $25 worth of coffee if not for your lucky location. Why not lean into it a little bit? Maybe it really is that bad and it's not a partnership that will ever work. But as a customer, it seems like such an obvious misstep. We love coffee with croissants. You are next to the best croissants in town and you serve coffee. Help us, and don't make us feel bad about that.

I come here at least once a week, as they have great coffee and selection of wines and aperitifs for sale. Location is great and space is cute. However, they consistently hire the most unfriendly staff. Often they won’t greet you when you come in, and will just scowl at you or stare until you put in your order. This isn’t all of them, but enough of them to make the shop fairly feel welcoming.

Grabbed a croissant from Arsicult and came here for coffee. They said it’d take 10 minutes, which was fine, not to mention the place felt pretty dirty. Paid $13 for two coffees, ordered a hot Americano, and got a cold, watery one instead. Maybe some people love this place, but I wouldn’t get coffee here again—it totally ruined my croissant moment

visiting SF and after picking up croissants at the Ariscault bakery, we spotted other people with food and bags from the bakery sitting in an outside seating area. We didn’t realize it was specific to Breck’s and sat down. Later on a very rude waiter came by asked us if we were dining at Breck’s, we said no, quickly realized our mistake and apologized. He very rudely shooed us from the table and said he has customers waiting. I tried to apologize, and explain that there were others that were seated that were from the bakery, so we thought we could sit there. He scoffed and told us that it didn’t make it morally right, and continued to motion for us to get up with a downright nasty attitude. A simple, polite explanation would have sufficed, and we would have gladly moved. Don’t know this place but I would never want to come back or try it out. A polite attitude and nice service can take you very far and clearly this place doesn’t have it. 👎🏼
