Okay I never write reviews (I rarely feel so strongly as to take note of it) but I had to just let others know how truly awesome this place is. The prices are just reasonable enough to keep coming back for a treat, the food is REALLY good (I am seriously very picky, I got an egg white panini and switched up the cheese and got the tomato chutney on the side - WOW. Legit the perfect breakfast), The staff is kind and clearly all hard working and accommodating, they keep their areas clean, use lots of fresh coffee beans, and wear gloves. You can see the whole kitchen actually which just increases food trust. I rarely come back to restaurants, I literally went back to tip again and I'm serious when I say I'd come here daily until I've tried everything. Probably one of the best cafe experiences I've had.

Their sausage and egg with biscuit is the best breakfast sando in the neighborhood. And that's before you get to the cookies, pastry, and bread.

I loved this breakfast plate. It was a great combo of savory and sweet breakfast items. They let you sub out the sausage for avocado if you're a vegetarian so that's lovely for my vegetarian friends. I do wish the potatoes were roasted, because they were either steamed or boiled. The French toast was perfect and the berries and lemon curd. The place was lively on the weekend and I was still able to get a table with friends. The service was fast and they brought the food to the table.

Jane is always my favorite -- fun unique pastry selection, really kind workers, bright interior great for spending some time there. I had the spicy sausage and provolone pastry which was so flaky and light. This location has some street parking nearby too!

This bakery is run by friendly, caring staff and has the best cookies in San Francisco. Jane for the win!

I love cafes like this where breakfast is served all day, giving us so much to choose from on the menu. We got the sausage biscuit with no roasted tomato jam, the roasted mushroom and onion panini, a white chocolate oatmeal cookie, a double chocolate cookie, an iced mocha, and some tea. Everything looked better than it tasted, but that doesn't mean it tasted bad, the presentation was just very appetizing. They were generous with the toppings in the sandwiches, and the biscuit was nice and fluffy and seemingly infused with herbs. The cookies from the display case had good flavor but were a bit too chewy. Outside there is little to no signage, so the cafe is easy to miss from the sidewalk, in a run-down area with homeless scattered throughout. However, the inside is a total 180, a clean and pleasant atmosphere, offering sufficient service and a good amount of seating for dining in.

Popped over for a morning coffee while staying with my sister who lives down the street. Ambiance is beautiful! People are working at the tables or engaging with each other. The staff is very nice and welcoming. My quiche was soo good I still think about it. Coffee was amazing. If you are needing coffee while in the TL this is a great respite.

Contemporary, clean, modern cafe in the Tenderloin. 10am got super busy! Where did all these people come from?! Any way that was a rush scared for me. When I arrived at 9:30am it was a clam, one 2 people sitting at the counter on their electric devices waiting for their food to come to them. Tenderloin is not a neighborhood I frequent so since I was in this area, might as well detour and try something new and hope for the best. I heard a lot of good things about the Jane Bakery, but never had chance to venture to the two locations until now. The cafe is a clean well lighted wide open spaces I spent time looking at the tea they sell along the left wall. The pastry display case had a wealth of interesting pastries but the hard part for me is picking the one I wanted to eat now. I finally decided on the last sausage crossiant and the last cheese biscuit. I paid about $13.80 for two pastries, but very well made. I selected the the last two sausage Crossiant and cheese biscuit. Nice and flaky and crispy sausage Crossiant where the sausage had a mild spice to it. The cheese biscuit was nice and solid, good cheese flavor and nice texture. I would order both again. There wasn't much customer service, I just order and grab a napkin and sat at table. I wouldn't mind coming back if I was in the area to try some other pastries and perhaps try some breakfast.

Cute cafe nestled in a not so cute area of SF, this Jane location is the least crowded and less likely to be out of pastries later in the day. I love how their menu is full of dietary restriction friendly options and that they have a booklet that allows you or the staff to easily look into ingredients/allergens! I've gotten a few bowls and salads which are good options for a hearty yet healthy lunch, but the things that keep me coming back are their cookies and nutty bird bread. They're gluten free and plant-based and whenever I'm craving something like a PB&J, the nutty bird bread hits the spot! It's a dense, seedy bread that works well with a heavy topping of almond butter and jam. Way better than the Mill's version in my opinion! Wash that down with one of their coffee drinks, and you've got yourself a decadent breakfast.
