Brittany Birdsong: When fresh out of the oven, Best ham and cheese croissant and almond croissant in the city. They cook in small batches with high turnover on the weekends which means everything is delicious and fresh.
Barbara O: Everything- my favorite are the ham and cheese croissants. None better!
Demetrios: Amazing croissants, all of them are very good, I'd mostly recommend Ham and Cheese Croissant and the Almond Croissant. So tender and flaky!!!

Degan Walters: have the warm jamon y queso
Garino Grande: The beef empanadas were the best. I tried pollo, jamon y queso, and carne, but the carne was definitely my favorite. Almost as good as my mother-in-law makes (she's from Buenos Aires).
Emily Doolittle: I knew I wanted the Jamon y Queso. I asked which other I should get and I don't like olives. They recommended the Champinones. Perfect combination!
Juliana: Ham and cheese croissant + sticky bun ftw
Adrian Phillips: Ritual coffee and a breakfast sandwich called the "Pat Geary" is the way to get your weekend started. It's egg, cheddar and a sizable amount of ham on a tasty roll. There's some spicy aioli too.
Nico Pitney: "Check out the rack in the front window full of fresh baked cinnamon rolls, ham and cheese croissants, morning buns, cookies, and homemade Oreos (the menu changes daily)."

Brandon Yi: Standouts: jamon iberico - basically the reason for the name Bellota. Cooked chunks of pork shoulder in the paella. Churros are more like donuts, but really good. And the semifreddo is AWESOME
Scott Soenen: Really cool tapas place. Enjoyed the Jamon and Albondingas.
Michael Greenberg: The jamón iberica that bears the restaurant name was delicious but can't say it merits the $30 price tag. #sfexuberance

Melissa Dagdagan: I’m so excited they opened a second (and more central) location in the city! They have the best, flakiest, and buttery croissant in the city! My favs are the ham & cheese and the plain.
Allen Zhou: Best ham & cheese in the Bay!
Amber: One of the best croissants I’ve found outside of France!! So happy I found this place 🧡

SFGate Manager: Cocktails rotate daily, as do snacks such as Tasso ham and gruyere cheese sandwich, salmon tartare.
CITY GRIT: The wine list is impeccable and the menu’s range of flavors is outstanding. We loved the Brussels with Tasso Ham, Wood Baked Butter Beans, and the Moroccan Vegetable Tagine.
SFist: The place is stupidly packed 7 days a week. Everything's pretty great, from the baked eggs to the fried pickles to the butter-basted eggs with ham and cream, and of course there's always the burger. Read more.
