Craftsman And Wolves

Let me start by saying, it is very difficult to impress me. That said, Craftsman and Wolves Valencia EXCEEDED my expectations! When I needed to order a few dozen cookies and have them delivered in a gift box with a note card, they came through! On time and before the holiday! I’m pretty sure the cookies will be enjoyed by all. Thank you for being so AWESOME!! 10/10

Tried 3 menu items. I highly recommend the “mistress truffle croissant stack”. Wow, flavorful and the soft cooked egg in the middle. The chocolate croissant was good but suggest heating it. They are known for “the Rebel Within” (see photo) but I found it a bit bland and the dough in center was not fully cooked. I’ll skip it next time.

I'm sure I'm far from the first person to get lured into trying this place because of that heavenly looking "rebel within" pastry. It had a rich, fluffy cheddar biscuit consistency, and the molten egg definitely elevates it; I'd happily eat again, and usijg my imagination, it probably wouldn't be as good if you get it to-go. Apart from that, there were several other amazing-looking baked goods and a drink menu that could stand up to a coffee shop. My basic oat milk latte was coffee shop quality. The banana coconut bread was super moist and had a nice crunch from coconut. Servers are super nice/cool, too. It's a good-sized place with sitting room inside (I don't think there's WiFi), but it's not a bad place to spend a morning!

We had the chocolate croissant, an oolong French style pastry, an iced mocha, and a black tonic. The pastries were good but I didn't feel worth the price- the one pictured below was $14 iirc. The drinks were not good. Overall, beautiful foods but not worth going back for me personally, although I didn't try their most well known pastry (the rebel within.)

Finally tried the viral savory muffin, and the hype is real. The Rebel Within was simply delicious. It was a little salty at first because it was the first thing I ate all day, but after my tastebuds adjusted it was definitely a delight. They also have a vegetarian version with a falafel in the middle, I’m interested to try this one next time. Also enjoyed a Morning Bun. Flaky creamy and sweet! I loved it. Next time I’m in SF I’ll be sure to grab some of these.
