Excellent service and great atmosphere. Also right next door to the best French pastries in the City ARISCAULT. Been trying to call and get a hold of the owner. If he could call me that would be great. 415 680-6328
A buddy was dogsitting nearby and we wanted to catch up. But where to with Echo the dog? And, no, we were not going to pull the fake service animal bit. Breck's was the perfect place. It was comfortable and cozy. A little malbec for her, a petit sirah for me, and a beautiful charcuterie board made by Orlando between the two of us (although the meats and olives were all mine). Even the other guests were delightful (Echo totally fell for Jerry). We enjoyed it all so much, we popped in a few nights later for a quick visit. This time we both had the delicious petit syrah and a smaller charcuterie board. And we are now hooked on the Prairie Breeze cheese that was on both boards.
This place is cute inside and has a bar which is cool. I got a latte and it was good.
Breck's is located right next to Arsicault Bakery. My mom and I ordered a mocha latte, chai tea latte, and lox bagel. We decided to visit Breck's after ordering some pastries at Arsicault Bakery. My mom said the mocha latte was good. I had the chai tea latte. I wish it had more of the chai flavor, but overall it was good. It had a more milky taste to it. The lox bagel came promptly. It was toasted, had lots of cream cheese, and fresh lox. I wish it came with some capers, but we still enjoyed it. There isn't many tables inside Breck's. They also have some outdoor seating as well.
Wednesday, 10:00 am: Glad I returned. Here to try the Avocado Toast. Unlike my first visit, the levain toast existed & be-still my heart, the bread was actually toasted! First layer generous avocado mash on super large slice, followed be a medley of greens, cucumber and radish. I asked for the fried egg to be prepared medium well. It appeared cooked to my high maintenance wishes. Added side of bacon, perfectly prepared, just right amount of chewy goodness. To my surprise, there was an abundance of seating in the back room. About 8 stools with back support. The side cafe tables were much higher than the stools making for an ergonomic fail. Clearly these tables were meant for European coffee drinkers who don't sit down or linger. Whatever, I was happy to enjoy my breakfast with the NY Times at leisure. Props to the woman on laptop who actually left when she finished her food. The guy behind me asked if he was talking too loud! I have found my happy place. No regrets.
I found this place going to the farmers market and bakery nearby to get coffee. Good coffee menu, service and a nice place to sit down and have a drink or meal. They have a large wine shop too.w
I stopped by Breck's after grabbing some croissants nextdoor. I came across this spot by accident but was pleasantly surprised at how yummy our drinks were! We ordered a iced oat milk vanilla latte and an iced oat milk vanilla matcha and they were flawless! They were both super refreshing and tasteful. Seating was extremely limited as we visited during the farmers market so it was very busy. They do have plenty of outdoor seating and indoor as well (just went on a busy day). They have a great menu with food to try as well. The line and waiting customers were taking up most of the shop, so it was definitely a take-out vibe that day. The staff, even with the pressure of capacity, were very friendly and efficient.
The food was very decent! I ordered a Cubano and was delighted by the crispy bread and house sauce. Fun fact, cuban sandwiches have varying meat selections and pickles depending on the region of Cuba they originate from. The Cubano came with pickles on the side. These pickles are homemade and very lightweight. I didn't enjoy them as much because I felt like they needed to be pickled for longer or have a more complex and robust flavor. The staff was very helpful. I walked in thinking this was Arsicault and asked for kouign-amann, and they directed me next door. I ordered a chai here, and can confirm they use a premix beverage and add milk to it. It was the right mixture of sweet and spicy, but the spice was a little on the stronger side. The outdoor seating is beautiful on a sunny day, and very dog friendly.
Stopped by Breck's after grabbing some croissants from Arsicault and was pleasantly surprised! We got the chagaccino (mushroom coffee?) and it was very good! The cinnamon vanilla flavor was very pleasant and not overly sweet. I'd give it a 7.5/10 There's some seating inside and outside, I'd say it gives cozy casual vibes. There was a small line but they got our drinks out in less than 5minutes, which was great! I'd definitely stop by again if I'm in the area
