There’s a lot to like: pastries are skillfully made and flavorful, the space is lovey. Coffee is solid and the breads are really solid. Great addition to the neighborhood and I’m rooting for them to continue succeeding To do so, improving the speed and gracefulness of service feels like the place to focus. As an early bird, it frustrates me that opens are often late and few unprepared. A 15m turn around on the first coffee orders of the day doesn’t few awesome.

The store on San Pablo specializes in bread.Theirs has a rare quality that I associate with French bread, the interior is elastic and pleasantly cool to the touch and the crust is crunchy. They need to put their daily breads up online, the menu changes every day.

Tried the jam toast at Lavender Bread & Cafe’ and it blew me away. Thick, fluffy bread with a creamy spread and chunky, sweet fruit jam on top—so satisfying. Simple, fresh, and honestly just really comforting.

Had the jam toast today and wow—so good. The bread was perfectly toasted, and the jam tasted super fresh, not overly sweet. It reminded me of something homemade. I wasn’t even that hungry, but I finished the whole thing. Definitely getting it again.

Coffee is good, pastries are good. Unfortunately run by extremely lethargic staff. I've come here multiple times with maybe 2-3 people in line and it takes 15 minutes just for them to take those orders (and another 15-20 to make the drinks).

Every visit to Lavender Bread & Cafe’ feels like a warm hug. From the barista’s smile to the rustic decor, it’s clear they care about quality and comfort. Try the lavender honey scone—you’ll thank me later.

Loved the unique flavor combos—especially the lavender-infused treats! The bread was warm and fluffy, and the coffee was strong and smooth. Could use a few more seating options, but still worth visiting.

Perfect spot to unwind. The croissants were buttery, flaky, and full of flavor. I loved the quiet atmosphere, soft music, and the calming scent of lavender in the air. You can tell a lot of heart goes into everything here.

This little cafe is a whole vibe. Their lavender-infused menu is creative and delicious—I tried the lavender honey latte and it was smooth and fragrant. The croissant was buttery and fresh. The interior is charming, filled with natural light. I genuinely didn’t want to leave. It’s now my go-to place for a peaceful treat.

This café has the kind of charm you wish more places had. Everything feels homemade and thoughtful. Their fig and goat cheese toast was next-level good.
