Creighton's Bakery & Cafe

I just found my new fave bahn mi spot! I did a short hike in the area and came across this spot since it was near by. Located in a plaza (with parking since it's next to Safeway) it's easy to simply walk past this place.The spot is pretty small, more like a quick pick me up for coffee and pastries, and there's a couple of seating inside. My bahn mi took a while to made, and it was absolutely WORTH IT. The difference is the bread. It was fresh, crispy, and made the pork extra delicious. The sauce made every bite sooo good and I honestly didn't want this sandwich to end! Definitely a hole in the wall, and truly made my day to find this place!

Pretty solid spot for pastries. Walked in as I was shopping at the nearby Safeway and wanted a sweet snack. Grabbed two donuts a sugar and glazed and of the two I would say the sugar had more flavor and crunch. These donuts are seriously fluffy and have height! The airy dough makes for a light yet filling dessert. We enjoyed our sweets at the nearby park, soaking in the sun and fresh air!

The woman behind the counter is extremely rude.A few months back, I walked my bicycle into a completely empty restaurant to order a coffee to go. The woman ordered me to leave my bike outside first.Yesterday, after ordering a full lunch, I walked to the coffee bar to top of my coffee that was getting cold. The lady said, "one dollar." I left my coffee cup on the counter, half full from what I already purchased, and she said, "You can't return it." I walked out.The Creighton's on Portola has a totally different and welcoming atmosphere. I will only go there still and never return to this Creighton's.My review about the woman's disposition is pretty consistent with other reviews.

Did you know Creighton is Carol Burnett's middle name? Anyway, this is quite a little unassuming bakery cafe. It's not the type of place I would search high and low for, but to say it's anything less than serviceable would be just plain mean. I have a feeling most of their customers live within walking distance because they have that lived-in tone to their transactions with the seasoned woman behind the register.I come here not because I shop at this particular Safeway but because I usually need a bit of caffeine after scaling the depths of Glen Canyon. I usually end up at the backside of the strip mall and come in here to order the $4 Cafe au Lait (photo: https://bit.ly/3hKNUNn). This is the type of spot where the woman fills a medium cup a third full with a hot frothy milk and hands me the cup to fill the rest with whatever coffee they have on tap. Yep.COFFEE - 3 stars...strip mall coffee and pastries AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...a hangout for the localsSERVICE - 3 stars...minimal interaction TOTAL - 3 stars...coffee break in Diamond HeightsRELATED - Exploring Noe Valley nearby?

I would almost give Creighton one star for selling really old cheesecake. We saw some individual red velvet cheesecake and since this is a rare flavor to find in cheesecake form, we were excited to try it. Once we opened up the container and took a closer look, something seemed off... and the taste proved it -- old, REALLY OLD, cheesecake. So old there was a strange taste and we couldn't eat more than a few bites.Also decided to try their banh mi Vietnamese sandwich -- combo cost $10.50 and is a seriously sad looking shortcut imitation... I can make a better version at home. There was hardly any pate and Vietnamese mayonnaise, so it tasted really dry and bland. There was way too much carrots and hardly any meat slices. Definitely not worth $10.50Creighton is lucky there isn't much competition in the plaza. From the exterior, it looks promising but once you step inside, there are small details that should've clued me in to save my money. I also felt the boss lady could use some customer service skills. This store would be better off transitioning to a different restaurant. Unless you're desperate because the park is nearby, I would highly advise you go elsewhere

So I ordered and egg and cheese sandwich listed for $6.95 on the menu I upgraded to a croissant for $1.50. I also asked for lettuce and tomatoes. some how it became $13.95. which became the most expensive item on the entire board. cheapest American cheese you can get and the croissant was under cooked. Fail. I've never paid that even at Tartine which has much better everything.

After a late night, I needed something good to revive me the next morning. I got the Creighton's Deluxe sandwich (bacon, sausage, egg, and cheese) on an everything bagel. It was so tasty and did everything it needed it to do. This place is great because there's a whole parking lot so easy to run in and out and the service was friendly. Will definitely be back!

I got breakfast here recently, it was just fine. The woman working the register was nice.

Literally the cutest little hidden gym. Everything is fresh and made super quickly. I wasn't waiting more than ten minutes. Highly recommend

My daughter & I are regulars here. They are the sweetest & remember you. The service is always great & it helps that it's peaceful. Food is just as delicious.
