Creighton’s Bakery & Cafe

I’ve been coming here for about a decade or so and the couple that runs this hidden place in Diamond Heights are a delight. Friendly with great service is the reason I keep coming back. Coffee and the breakfast burrito are my usual items to spring. In our ever changing city of ours, there are some places that do not and should not. This is one of them. See you Saturday!

Good services. Tuna was good after a long hike up mount Davidson. Fine bakery. Coffee is better than Starbucks next store. Very quite place. Friendly too

I’m here several times a week for coffee and breakfast. They have a really good selection of coffees so I can mix it up every time I go.
I’m also a huge fan of the bacon and egg breakfast burrito. It’s a decent price and pretty big so it keeps me filled up.
They also have a great selection of pastries

Their egg burrito has hit the spot many times. It’s all cheese potato and egg, what can go wrong with that? There is a minimum on the credit card so bring cash if possible.

Do not confuse this Creighton’s with Creighton’s American Bakery, at 673 Portola. They are not associated. Creighton’s Bakery & Café has ample access to the disabled. Their bathroom is always clean and accessible to wheelchair-​bound customers. Good place to meet friends, and enjoy good coffee and pastries. Hefty sandwiches and salads. Kid and pet friendly. Ample parking spaces. A mom-​and-​pop owned business where the Cambodian owners know customers by their first names. Good people! Walk around the park nearby and enjoy the view of Glen Canyon Park!

The owners are very rude. I came here a couple times to get a quick breakfast and coffee and they always make me feel like helping me is the last thing they want to do. I have dogs and a tie then up outside and they always complain even though my dogs don’t do anything spp I have to tie them around the corner at the dry cleaners. They never want to take your card only cash even though they say they accept cards. The good isn’t nearly good enough to put up with that kind of service.

Owner’s are extremely rude and make customer’s flee out the door for another café.
When owner’s treat customer’s in such a «screwed up manner», can’t trust how they handle food.
Personally, I can’t trust integrity of hygiene and food prep when owners are so damn rude and inconsiderate .
I would stay away !

We’ve been coming to this family run café for as long as I can remember. We often enjoy a nice breakfast in the little set of outdoor tables and watch as the people go by.
The creightons deluxe on a plain bagel is definitely a must have, you can pair it with a delicious latte or a variety of their house coffees.
The service is speedy and efficient, they even bring your order to you if you sit outside! The owners are always welcoming and are just incredibly lovely people!

My first time here today because of needing a place to sit for a couple hours and I bought an old fashioned chocolate donut, a brownie, and hot chocolate (chocoholic much?) And it was all really good! I’m happy with my breakfast and will consider this location again in the future! Btw, if you don’t have cash, you’ll need to spend at least $ 5 to run your card. I got all of my three items for $ 5.50 all together!

We came to visit SF and my husband knows I always need to get my morning fix, which is a cup of joe and either a buttery croissant or lox and bagels. I got the croissant and I’m very picky about my croissant and they make it perfect! light, crispy, fresh and buttery! :p. The mocha I got was made perfect, just a little sweet but not overly sweetened. They’ve got a great selection of pastries, ahhh — my weakness !!! We will definitely be back on our next trip to SF to try out something different.

JACKPOT! Where do I start! I always come here when I visit San Francisco. They have the best sandwiches, pastries, and coffee here. I am a big fan of their iced white mocha. It has the perfect amount of espresso. I usually get my caffeine fix early in the morning and every single time I walk into the store I can automatically smell the fresh croissants.
They have the best croissants here! I usually just eat the plain croissants, however, I tried their blueberry cheese croissant and it was beyond amazing! It had the perfect amount of sweetness. I literally hit the jackpot! This place is a gem because all the pastries are inexpensive because they are all incredibly big and definitely worth the money. I have also tried their sandwiches and wow, it was unbelievably delicious because it was extremely flavorful. The avocado, bacon, and cheese… mmhmm!
I love how Creighton’s Bakery & Café is located right next to the park. After taking my nieces and nephews out to the park, we would always stop by here to grab something to eat. My nieces and nephews love their cookies. They have so many different types of cookies. I believe they have peanut butter, chocolate chip, oatmeal raisins, sugar cookies, and etc. I noticed there are more dessert selections now too! I saw some macarons, cupcakes, and tres de leche cake! I can’t wait to come back and visit again because there are no good bakery and café place like Creighton’s!
Talk about the SERVICE! They are very sweet. The lady that works in the front accommodated to all our needs. She was the one who suggested for me to try out the blueberry croissant, which of course I automatically fell in love with!
The inside of the shop is pretty spacious. It has a lot of chairs and tables for customers. Parking here is very easy to find because it is located in a plaza with a lot of parking spaces readily available so that’s a PLUS!
I seriously cannot wait to come back for their coffee and pastries!

Great Bakery! Definitely would recommend it! So fresh and tasty! The bake goods were big and will satisfy your sweet tooth! Love the staff friendly and they will greet you at the door! Definitely a place I would comeback to when I’m in San Francisco!

I live in Las Vegas and come to San Francisco to visit family almost every other year for the holidays. Creighton’s is always a stop on the list. I love their pastries here. Their croissants never disappoints me.
A cup of coffee, a croissant and I’m one satisfied man!

I haven’t been here for at least 5 years… and it’s still wonderful.
Dream bar = dreamy (just not on the hips).
Cookies = good
I came in too late, so I missed out on the delicious pastries and cakes. Next time!
Service = friendly
Prices = reasonable.

This place has the best chocolate croissants!

i come to Creightons most of my mornings for coffee and a bagel/​cream cheese. Im not a morning person but Creightons always welcomes me with a nice warm greet. Coffee is always piping hot and the bagels are fresh. They know how to get ur morning started!
If you’re in a rush and need a quick morning boast, check out Creightons Bakery!

Ive been coming to this café for over 5 years and I’ve had nothing but great experiences here. The services is always perfect and the baked goods are delicious! I always come here in the early mornings for my coffee fix and they always start my day off on a positive note!
Keep doing great things for the morning commuters, Creighton’s!

Great pastry the vibe there is really nice. Great place to hang out at. Their coffee is good and service great. I love this place and I will be coming back!

You really have to try their fresh croissants, it’s amazing! Super big and worth it. My other favorites are their chocolate and apple pie croissants! I have tried the expresso with my sister and woah yummy. Cleanliness is on top and the place is really well kept.
Pastries, onion bagels, brownies, turnovers!!!
There’s so much more to it than just what’s displayed. Amazingggggg

I just discovered that the cookies on the top shelf were not freshly made today. I’m glad that I asked! The pastries on the bottom shelf were fresh. They included the bear claws and apple turnovers etc.
Not too sure how I feel about this place hence the 3 stars.
I’ve had their Snickerdoodles before and really enjoyed them but there was not much of a selection around 11:30am today. There was only 1 small chocolate cake on display and no Snickerdoodles or fresh cookies. Perhaps I got there too late on a Sunday morning?
I’m happy to support Mom and Pop shops – I just wish there was more to choose from today.
