Creighton's Cafe & Bakery

This is a local sandwich place around the neighborhood, there are not much choice in this little plaza. I ordered the hot pastrami, good taste and the size are full. The lady will ask you if you want cheese, remind you that it’s extra 1 dollar for cheese. I will come back next time

Awesome pastrami sandwich, tastes as good as it looks, yummy. However if you want to dine in you better bring your own restroom! They don't allow the use of their restroom, you have to leave the restaurant and walk about 1000 feet and up some stairs and around a building to use a park restroom. Providing it is open! Or walk down to Safeway and use theirs! Bad situation...

This Bakery is one of the best I’ve ever been to! The bagels are incredibly yummy, the pastries are delicious too, and the orange juice was fresh and tasted really good! I’m very happy that I discovered this place! I absolutely recommend it! The people working here are extremely nice and helpful! Fast, efficient, and a lovely environment! Love it!

Came here after hiking a little and playing on the playground. Will be back again for the very fresh bbq chicken báhn mi (nice warm bread) and Thai iced tea. Just expect the sandwich to take a little while to make. But that’s why it’s better than a lot of other bahn mi sandwiches and the $8.95 price is hard to beat. Also got a small donut with chocolate frosting and sprinkles for my nephew at 2 pm on a Sunday and that was still nicely fresh (As you can see from the photo they make the Thai tea fresh. Would just like it if the size large Thai tea was a little larger. Seemed more like a medium.)

this place has amazing food especially the bagels. We also got a doughnut and a chocolate croissant which are amazing! Definitely come here if you want a very tasty sandwich, bagel, or bakery treat.

The sandwiches here are so good! Today I had the bbq chicken bahn mi sandwich, which is generous in size and comes on a toasted French roll with flavorful chicken in a light mayo-based dressing and topped with crunchy shredded carrots and Daikon radish (I ordered it without jalapeños). It was the perfect ratio of chicken to veggies and was savory and delicious! Creighton's has a good selection of sandwiches, donuts, croissants, sweets, and pastries. There is plenty of seating inside, and also a table and a couple of chairs outside. It's always a pleasure to visit Creighton's for their fresh and delicious food and quick and friendly service!

Everything is freshly made, they have the biggest bagels and croissants I have ever seen in my life

Great sandwiches!

I really like this location of Creighton's. It has a nice neighborhood vibe, which in Diamond Heights is quiet and friendly. My favorite menu items right now are the turkey cranberry sandwich, the mango smoothie, the javalanche shake, and the guava bar

I've always had great sandwiches from here. The place looks unassuming, but the ingredients are always top-notch. Fresh and tasty. I just devoured a chicken pesto sandwich. Big, thick slices of chicken, really good pesto and fresh lettuce, tomatoes and red onion -- all nicely warmed up on toasted bread.

The best bahn mi I've had! The bakery bread is DELICIOUS. I got the BBQ chicken, extra sauce with no jalapenos, and it's perfect. Ratio of bread to filling is superb. Wifey isn't the warmest on the phone nor in person, but we heard the hubs on the phone during pickup, and he's the personable one lol.

The best mom and pop shop in the area! They have delicious sandwiches, , great pastries and drinks selection. Their breakfast burrito is a must have! The mom and pop that run the shop are soooo nice! They work so hard, seems like they work 24/7, don’t know how they do it everyday, especially with all these inconsiderate San Franciscans. I’m from Canada and I’ve been coming here ever since I moved, almost 2 years ago. All in all great little family own shop, with lots of different food/drinks selection and fast service as well.

Probably the tastiest bagel I have had, maybe ever... Coffee spot on. The plant collection is really cute. Would come again.

I genuinely love the plain croissants at Creighton’s bakery, well also because they’re HUGE and fluffy. If you come earlier in the day or right when they open, you literally get them straight out of the oven. I stopped by in the morning one day to grab a box of pastries to share with my coworkers and they all loved it. Plus, the sweet lady at the register probably memorizes my order by now- a toasted croissant, banana muffin, and lox bagel to go please!

This is one of those local bakeries that flies under the radar. It’s cozy, simple, and definitely not flashy or trendy—but that’s part of its charm. It feels like a neighborhood spot rather than a destination café, and while it’s usually pretty quiet inside, you can tell it has its regulars, especially during the lunch rush. What absolutely steals the show for me is their Vietnamese sandwich. It’s honestly one of my comfort foods. The sandwiches are huge—especially for the price point, which feels more than fair. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, and the bread deserves its own praise: it’s crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside (not flaky), which makes every bite satisfying. I usually don’t stay to eat, but I do want to mention how kind the owner is. She’s genuinely sweet and thoughtful—she once told me that if I’m ever in a rush, I can call ahead to place my order. And if they don’t pick up the first time, she encouraged me to call back again and reassured me they’d take care of it. That small interaction really stuck with me and says a lot about the care they have for their customers.

Stopped in after my pet’s vet appointment because I was starving and needed something quick. I ordered two sandwiches, the combo and the pork banh mi, so my husband and I could share and get a taste of both. I’ve definitely had better banh mis. The pâté in the combo looked and tasted like liverwurst straight from a can and was simply spread on, which wasn’t very appealing. The pork banh mi was very salty, and I even pulled out some of the meat from the combo because it was so fatty. Honestly, the bread ended up being the best part of both sandwiches. It filled the immediate hunger, but it’s not something I’d go out of my way for again, especially with so many good banh mi options in San Francisco.

These guys charged me over $23 for one sandwich and two donuts. When I saw the credit card charge I called the store and they said the sandwich was $13 ($4 higher than the menu photos posted from last year) and they charged me $4 each for a chocolate bar and apple fritter. Sheesh, FOUR DOLLARS for a donut??? I’ll avoid this place in the future. I recommend the Creighton’s next to Tower market on Portola instead. They’re much nicer and have Apple Pay with more reasonable prices!!

Coffee and food here are terrible. There is absolutely no love in anything served here. Some old small business owner that has been phoning it in for years at this point. Sad that this is the only alternative to Starbucks in the Diamond Heights area. Coffee has no flavor. Latte tastes like milk with a hint of coffee flavoring. Sandwich tasted like old refrigerator odor.

Coffee was okay. Food (sausage roll) was old and tasted really bad. When i asked them how often you make it they said once in 2-3 days. When i told them that it’s smelling bad, they just shrugged shoulders and walked away without saying anything else. I was just stunned, threw the food away and walked out. It’s a small family run shop so i don’t wanna spoil their business, just be careful what you eat.
