We ordered 8 things and were repeatedly disappointed. Only good bites were canele and brioche. Most pastries were unbalanced (too sweet, too creamy, lacking flavor), not fluffy/flaky, and dry. Maybe they wouldve been better heated up which maison nico doesnt offer even for dine-in. We went Sat morning when everything should be fresh but things tasted a bit stale.
This made me miss Arsicault and Breadbelly 🙁

Pain au chocolat was phenomenal. Canele was mediocre. I had high expectations for a French bakery. Seasonal croissant seemed to be a berry crumble type double baked croissant. Tasty and fresh! Went on a weekday morning with no plans so the casual atmosphere and no line was nice and relaxing.
Their pate en croute assortment looked like art. Would’ve loved to try but hopefully another time.

I have tried many of Maison Nico’s pastries and pate en croute and have enjoyed every one! really top quality. Was just in on xmas eve to pick up a few things and I impulse bought a chocolate and almond panettone. Both this flavor and the classic were available. wow what a treat! By far the tastiest I’ve ever had. Bravo!

Had a great quiche and latte here with a friend. Nice indoor and outdoor seating, although only for 4-5 parties inside. There’s always a line lasting ~10 mins on the weekend.

top notch croissant – flakey and crunchy skins, buttery and soft layers on the inside.
Went at 830am on Friday and there was already a line, but it moved quickly.
The only downside is my cortado ending up being a cappuccino

Top craft bakery in SF! Unique items for both meat and vegetarian options. Expect a line (around 10-15 min wait). Dine in and take out options. Packaging is very trendy and perfect for a gift.

Food here is incredible. Very few places are baking at a level even close to Maison Nico. It is hampered by the staff friendliness and approachability. They have seem to forgotten the reason WHY they try so hard to create such a great product. To nurture and serve each individual guest.

04.18.2025. Mini Quiche. 8.50. Flan Parisien. 8.00. Brioche Feuilletee (slice). 5.00. Croissant de saison (black sesame). 5.65. I came on a Friday morning (9:30ish am) and it was pretty crowded. I actually ordered a chocolate croissant instead of the croissant de saison but the person who helped me must’ve heard me wrong and I unfortunately didn’t check until I had already left. The croissant itself was fine. I don’t like black sesame so I wouldn’t have chosen that myself. The broiche feuilletee was really yummy. Nice and flaky and a perfect sugar crust. Would definitely get this again. The flan parisien was okay. The taste was good, strong vanilla, but the custard was soooo firm. I couldn’t get past that texture.
And finally, the quiche. I found a hair imbedded into the crust which made me really sad. I hadn’t noticed until I had eaten some. The phyllo dough was beautifully flaky and crunchy. The quiche custard was also wonderfully flavored. Just very disappointed that the hair ruined my experience.

What a lovely place, I can’t believe I hadn’t been in before. Really here to say that I think I just had the best baguette of my life from Maison Nico. Oh and I think the best canelé too. It was perfectly caramelized on the outside and so soft and almost pudding like inside. Seriously perfect. Service was lovely as well, very nice folks! Looking forward to coming back to sit and have a glass of wine and enjoy the atmosphere!

Absolutely love Maison Nico. Easily one of the best bakeries in San Francisco. The croissants are incredible, and they’ve got a great selection of breads too. I always like stopping by to see what new pastries and desserts they have, since the menu changes and there’s always something interesting. They also make really good terrines and pâtés, which add to the very French vibe of the place. Make sure to show up early though, because there’s usually a long line.
