Miller & Lux Provisions Cafe

Miller & Lux Patisserie is a delightful spot for pastry and coffee lovers. The vibrant atmosphere makes it a fun place to visit, though the service can be a bit slow due to its popularity. Their soft serve croissant cone is a must try, perfect for sharing with your loved ones. A sweet treat worth the wait!

If you’re looking for a unique and indulgent treat, located in the heart of Union Square is Miller and Lux Provision cafe. Their soft serve croissant cone is a must-try! I had the vanilla and chocolate swirl, and it was a delightful combination of creamy and rich flavors. The soft serve was luxuriously smooth and perfectly balanced, sweet but not overpowering. What really made it stand out was the croissant cone itself. Buttery, flaky, and with just the right amount of crispiness, it added a satisfying texture and depth to the experience. It’s the perfect harmony of a classic dessert twist. Highly recommend if you’re craving something special and memorable!

There was a line when I arrived but it moved quickly. The environment is cozy and nice. The ice cream was epic!!! It looks fancy, tasted creamy and not too sweet! It is pricey but it’s nice. By union square so you may enjoy while looking at people. I will come back again

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Miller and Lux, a Patisserie located in Union Square, and I must say, it deserves nothing less than a five-star review. The experience was absolutely amazing, thanks to their mouthwatering pastries. One of the highlights of my visit was indulging in their white chocolate blueberry cheesecake. It was a true slice of heaven. The combination of creamy white chocolate and tangy blueberries created a delightful explosion of flavors in every bite. The cheesecake was perfectly balanced - rich, smooth, and not too sweet. I couldn't help but savor every mouthful, and it was definitely a dessert worth dying for. Another standout from their pastry selection was the mandarin orange pastry. Not only did it look absolutely beautiful with its vibrant color and delicate presentation, but it also tasted as good as it looked. The mandarin orange flavor was incredibly refreshing, providing a burst of citrusy goodness. The pastry itself was light, flaky, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. It was a true testament to the artistry and skill of the talented bakers at Miller and Lux. Overall, my experience at Miller and Lux was outstanding. The pastries were exceptional, and the attention to detail in both taste and presentation was evident. Whether you're a dessert lover or simply looking to indulge in some exquisite pastries, I highly recommend visiting Miller and Lux in Union Square. It's an experience that's sure to leave you wanting more.

As a longtime San Francisco, dining and unit Square is always been my favorite thing. Post Covid things are coming back to the great experience it has always been. Though pitchers of beer are not back yet food is. An absolutely yummy brooch with made to order egg a nice spicy sauce, bacon, avocado something cheesy all from scratch and yes, it was almost affordable but sitting in Union Square having coffee and a sandwich it doesn't make a difference. What affordable is it's the place to be you can people watch you can sit in the sun get a tan and you can feel like life is fine again.

Horribly overpriced. I ordered a macchiato and mousse and the bill was $26 😳 I was so surprised I had to ask for the breakdown of the bill. Their pastry case did not have prices and it was my mistake assuming it was $10 max. The passion fruit mango mousse was delicious but NOT $18 good. I live in the Bay Area so for me to still experience sticker shock should tell you something. I've also eaten at fine dining restaurants around the world which did not charge $18 for dessert and if they did, it's expected since I knowingly ate there. The ambience is not even like one of those cafes with Old World charm you find in Paris or Vienna so for them to charge these prices is just ridiculous. Definitely a buyer beware place.

I was excited to try their ice cream croissant as soon as I saw the picture of it in social media. Happy that this cute place appeared at Union Square which was definitely missing a coffee shop. The croissant was perfectly made and soft serve ice cream with it made a really interesting combo of textures and temperatures. Not sure that it’s 100% my thing but I’m happy I’ve tried it. Definitely plan to visit this place more to try their fancy desserts. The only thing that would make this place 5star for me is more comfortable seating devided from the waiting line and having a person responsible for the cleaning tables.

Absolutely delightful! From the flaky croissants to the decadent pastries, this French bakery brings the taste of Paris to San Francisco. Each bite is a burst of authentic French flavor. Highly recommend for a taste of France right in your union Square neighborhood!

Very cute cafe in the middle of Union Square. I didn't see the croissant come ice cream on the menu and just asked the guy at the register for it. For 3 it came out to $41 and some change. We excitedly watched our order being made from the pickup window. They cut up the croissants, filled them with our choice of soft serve, sprinkled some chocolate garnishes on top and a masterpiece was made. The chocolate ice cream has small specks of chocolate in it. It was very good. We all enjoyed our sweet treats. The croissant cone is a solid offering. The guys working were really friendly and professional even though our transaction was short.

Pricey bakeshop conveniently located in the heart of Union Square. Looks fancier than other nearby tourist-targeted options. Though the taste is a bit middling. Tres Leches: $11 for something that tastes like bland grocery store sheet cake with a dab of cream on the bottom. Having had so many great tres leches in Miami, I was hoping for a little spice (at least some cinnamon) and a lot more cream so that the cake is all wet and spongy. Raspberry Cake: $17.43 for a small cake slice seems a bit overpriced, even for San Francisco. Tasty though. Really like the crunchy hazelnut bottom against the creamy layers.

A decent place for high end Croissants, macarons and other pastries. Friendly efficient service with tables outside to enjoy your newfound pastries and beverage. Located in the heart of Union Square ON Union Square itself is this fancy looking yet understated counter service bakery and coffee place. With all the big plate glass windows and cut stone, Miller & Lux projects a modern vibe in the middle of busy Union Square. I ordered one of their unique Mini-sized kouign amanns for 5.25 and a big almond croissant for 9.25 or so.. Rather pricey.. Both were created to a high standard with high quality ingredients. The KA was on point, but the almond croissant - while overloaded with shaved toasted almonds on top and a reasonable amount of okish almond paste was kind of tough when bitten into. The KA was good. Not sure if I'd try here again.. Tourist pricing is a bit much for a tough croissant, especially when there are some incredibly great bakeries all over town.

You know, it's crazy how much things have changed. In years past, the corner of Union Square that Miller & Lux Provisions calls home just might have been the envy of the neighborhood. After all, not many businesses in the history of Union Square have ever been able to say that they, literally, sit on Union Square. Unfortunately, with the perception of the area, and SF at large, being what it is, the area has definitely lost some of its shine. Despite the loss of that cachet, though, this place still has the biggest thing going for it - some really good looking food! Now, not that it makes any sort of difference, but I actually had no idea until I started writing this that Miller & Lux Provisions was part of Tyler Florence's family of eateries (whom I am a fan of). Similarly, I hadn't seen much of their croissant ice cream cone on my social media feeds (part of the reason why I missed out on trying this). Rather, what drew us here was actually the photos of all of their other confections and creations - from their small desserts and pastries to their cookies and French macarons, they seemed there seemed to be no shortage of enticing options to satisfy our craving for a sweet afternoon snack! -- TIRAMISU...$10 Pretty decent, though far from the best I've had. The ladyfingers weren't soggy, there was a nice espresso flavor to this, and, most importantly, this didn't taste as overly sweet, like I feared it might. That being said, this sure had a whole lot of mascarpone. -- OREO CRUMBLE COOKIE...$4 Despite how good this looked in the display case and how I generally like Oreo flavored cookies, this was a miss for me. While the texture wasn't bad (I liked the edges), the center of the cookie felt a little thick/dense and there was a bit of an unexpected aftertaste to this. Beyond the food, the thing that we actually liked best about our trip to Miller & Lux Provisions really was its location. Ironically, how dead Union Square was, compared to its pre-COVID days, wasn't the worst thing. Thinking back to how packed and congested it would sometimes get, it was nice being able to enjoy our desserts in relative peace instead of being surrounded by a constant hustle and bustle. Don't get me wrong, though - I wholeheartedly hope the area starts to see those busier days come back soon, especially to support the businesses that are still around here and to encourage new ones to open! While what we had may not have tasted as good as they looked (or as we had hoped), I can't say I wouldn't make my way back to Miller & Lux Provisions, if only because of their croissant ice cream cones. While it was a little too cold for ice cream the day we were here, it certainly seems to be the thing to get. Plus, some of their other desserts looked really good as well, though perhaps I'd just be better off trying them at Miller & Lux (the restaurant) instead.

Super cute spot but just in kind of unfortunate area of town. It definitely is a little sketchier than it used to be. The spot itself is super cute and had a lot of great, fresh pastries. I tried their mushroom puff pastry with coffee. It's expensive $8 for the pastry but so good.

After a year of seeing this viral croissant ice cream on my FYP, I finally gave it a try while being in the area and all I have to say is...it's overhyped. While it is absolutely beautiful to look at, for $13, I was expecting better in terms of taste. The ice cream itself was creamy and enjoyable, but the croissant was very mediocre in my opinion. Next time, I'd try a different pastry and skip this croissant ice cream. Service was quick and straightforward, and the ambiance was a casual spot to grab a treat before exploring union square.

The ambiance at Miller & Lux Provisions is undeniably cool, especially during the holiday season with the Christmas tree at Union Square and the lively, bustling atmosphere. It's a great spot to soak in the festive vibes. I went with high hopes to try their viral croissant soft serve, but unfortunately, they were out of croissants when I visited around 2 PM. Instead, I opted for the vanilla-chocolate soft serve with chocolate beads and marshmallows. The soft serve was enjoyable, light, airy, and not overly sweet, just the way a good soft serve should be. However, the service left much to be desired. The staff seemed confused about their offerings, and it was a bit disappointing that they were out of many items so early in the afternoon. Overall, while the ambiance and the soft serve were pleasant, the lack of availability and the slightly disorganized service bring it down to a 3-star experience for me.

Good, but a bit overhyped last year. We got the spinach feta pastry which was yum! Would get it again! Also got some hot chocolate which was okay, not too memorable. And then got the ever popular croissant ice cream, which looked so aesthetic and tasted good but expensive for what it is. Also a bit hard to eat. I thought the things here were pretty expensive for just having outdoor seating, but it's in a great location.

This is a super cute little cafe next to the ice skating rink in union square so it was convenient to get breakfast before our time slot. It's definitely overpriced but we did enjoy the food; we got hot chocolates and then the spinach feta bread and the croissant ice cream swirl. I'm confused why that isn't on the menu, we had to ask for it by showing the yelp picture. The fact that it's $12 for that was definitely a lot, and it was yummy but nothing crazy special. Our whole meal came to $40 which is quite a lot; I wouldn't come back but it is a cute one time stop. The staff were all nice and friendly and the food did come out decently quickly.

Today I came back to get pastries for my hairdresser. What was a nice surprise, they had boxes for my 6 pastries. Another delightful surprise, they had a bag for my box of pastries! Thank you for reading my last review. Service is quick and efficient! I can't wait to try the cinnamon roll. The ambiance is clean and very French! Stop by for your treat!!!

Honestly... stay away! Save your money and the calories and don't come here. I was so excited to try this place but I actually heard bad things about it from a friend, and after I tried it, I wish I listened. The croissants here are unacceptable! Either they've been sitting around for a week or they don't know how to make croissants. They taste stale and my friend said it was exactly the same when she was here the last time. The latte was awful. I will say their coconut passion fruit dessert was not bad, but definitely not worth $15. Dominique Ansel doesn't even charge those prices.

Located in Union Park, it's a perfect location to grab a treat and enjoy the park. Beautifully presented and so tasty! Apparently their chocolate is the top selling item but I wanted to try something a bit more unique. The passion fruit coconut was citrusy and delicious.

A small little store that's located in the heart of downtown San Francisco. I came to Miller and Lux to try out their Ice Cream Croissant as it seemed to look pretty aesthetic and tasty. When you walk in, they have a big plethora of baked goods that's located all around the stores. But I really just wanted to try their ice cream croissant and I personally felt like it wasn't anything to be impressed about. Of course, if we're talking about looks it's tempting, but the croissant I had was not good at all. It kinda tasted like it was a day old or something but it definitely wasn't fresh. In a way it was a little stale. The ice cream was alright too. It just tasted like those dispensable frozen machine ice cream that you would find at certain restaurants. There was not creaminess do it at all which I was looking for. Honestly, it was a letdown. If I do come back, I'd rather try out their other pastries instead as those look more promising. If you wanna order their ice cream croissant for the gram, by all means go for it!

The Blueberry Cheesecake is my favorite! It's one of the best cheesecakes I ever had. The sweetness of the white chocolate outer shell is paired very nicely with the inside layers of the cream cheese, and omg the blueberry cream cheese and blueberry fillings! I will have to come back for the blueberry cheesecake! The staffs are super friendly, they were the one who helped me with picking out one of their best selling desserts. Then I came back the 2nd time on my lunch break to have a vanilla filling croissant. Honestly, it was not my favorite at all. The croissant was not as buttery and crispy as I thought it would be. The vanilla filling was not quite pleasant, it was way too sweet for my taste. Next time I will try dinner desserts but not the vanilla filling croissant with. Luckily I was able to have a picture with Chef Tyler Florence, to show my co-worker who he is a big fan of!!

I'm all in! Great French style pastries with a unique twist. I highly recommend trying Tyler's favorite, the mango-passion fruit cake; this is sweet with a subtle tartness. It's not overbearing with that sour fruit taste. It's delicious and well worth it. I thought their highly popular ice cream filled croissant was just ok; it's prettier in IG posts and photos but the taste is just simple and something most people have already had (pastries or bread with ice cream lol). The interior decor and service is an A+ here! Love everything about it especially getting to sip coffee and eat in the heart of union square on a nice sunny day. I'll be back again.

Visited one afternoon around 5pm specifically for the soft serve croissant cones I'd seen online, but found most pastries sold out, including the cones. Opted for the hot chocolate instead, which was decent but felt like a standard cup, not worth the nearly $6 price tag. We returned later for the croissant cone with swirl soft serve (chocolate and vanilla) around lunchtime. I found the croissant slightly stale and dry, while the soft serve was passable; the vanilla was enjoyable, but the chocolate tasted watered down. Overall, I haven't been impressed by this bakery yet, but I might give their desserts another shot in the future.

This is the best place to go for an average tasting cold brew that will cost you $7.90 with a tip. They get it out pretty quick because there isn't a line. All outdoors for seating. I'm not sure I'll be back. The pigeons are a turn off.

MUST ORDER: 1) Soft serve croissant cone ($9) -Super soft and buttery croissant. It had the right amount of soft serve ice cream. 2) Coconut & Passionfruit cake -Tropical delight! Both sweet & tart. Skip: Matcha latte ($5.50) -Had it with regular whole milk. Overall drink was super watered down. Nothing special. Super friendly staff and quick service. Will come back to try their other desserts! Cheers.

I'll admit it- one of my toxic traits is ordering whatever is "viral" rather than something I think I'd actually enjoy, and then getting disappointed anyways. Here I am to deinfluence you: do NOT get the soft serve with the croissant cone! It's exactly what'd you expect it to be.... a croissant with soft serve inside. The soft serve itself is mid- not to say it's bad, but just generic. The vanilla soft serve at Matcha Cafe Maiko or Gotts Roadside I think are better texturally and flavor-wise. The croissant itself is good, but with the soft serve inside it gets mushy and personally I think ruins it. "But Liz", some might say, "It looks like you still gave Miller and Lux Provisions 4 stars?" Can't blame a business for trying to pop-off with their own gimmick, because hey- that's what got me to come! Go get that bag, M&LP. What got me excited was their Lime and Yuzu Tart- amazing! As a fan of yuzu and desserts that balance tart and sweet elements, this placated me after the major disappointment of the soft serve and croissant, though I feel like they could've pushed the yuzu flavor forward more as the lime notes were more prevalent. It's gorgeous and decadent, with the added flair from the edible gold leaf. M&LP has display case of a wide assortment of pastries that look stunning, and are (probably!) as delicious as they look; Consider getting one of those pastries instead of whatever nonsense you saw on tiktok! Other things to note: . Outdoor seating only . Lots of pigeons and other birds crowded around tables, waiting for crumbs . Located in Union Square, so lots of foot traffic around and not a lot of parking . Self-serve and self-clean (not actually sure about the second part but you should clean up after yourself regardless)

We all deserve a TLC moment. I was so excited to see that Miller & Lux is finally operational. I avoided Union Square during the holidays due to the ice rink. After a long week of guests in and out of the hotel, I wanted to treat our accounting team and admin team and of course our very own sales team to thank them for all they did over the long hours of the week and last minute customer requests. I bought a few pastries and got myself a breakfast sandwich. Everything was amazing. I had to return because I was craving their pastries. Overall customer service is a 5/5, prices are average and food is delicious. Cannot recommend enough.

It was a gorgeous day in San Francisco so my step-daughter and I decided to make our way down to Union Square for some window shopping and fun. I have been looking forward to visiting the newly opened Miller & Lux. I love a good croissant and baked goods are always on my try list. The line was about 3 deep, granted this was a Monday so it was nice that it wasn't crowded. What we ordered: An oatmilk mocha A Caesar salad A green goddess chicken salad sandwich (pictured) A Tahitian vanilla filled croissant. Everything was delicious. My step daughter loved the Caesar which was simply romaine, parm and good Caesar dressing. She said she would definitely get it again. The chicken salad sandwich was tasty and the croissant was perfect. I could have used a bit more dressing as I like my chicken salad a bit more moist. It also has arugula which made it even yummier with the nutty notes. Tahitian vanilla croissant was amazing. Mocha was good - I'm so used to the coffee sizes being larger that it feels like $5.75 for a mocha that size seemed too expensive - not sure if I would buy it again. Cost for everything was about $52. I was tempted to get the soft serve in the croissant cone - will try that and some of the specialty items another day. They didn't have much in their display. Maybe 4 different items? But everything looked really pretty. The service was lovely. The gentleman that took our order was so friendly and sweet. The view is wonderful and people watching is at its finest. The double decker bus stops right at the corner. Macys is right across the street as well as Dyson and Swarovski. You can also sit overlooking all of Union Square and there are more tables with umbrellas in the center of the square. For parking I recommend using the spothero app to secure a space in one of the nearby lots - you will save lots of money booking through the app instead of driving right up. I paid $15 for 5 hours which would have been $15 for the first hour and a charge for every hour after that! Plus, it might be challenging to find any street parking nearby. I'd rather spend my money on pastries than parking! Overall Miller and Lux is a sweet new spot and great addition to Union Square. I'm looking forward to spending more time there and tasting more treats!

This is SUCH a cute little shop in Union Square that is definitely worth stopping by for a little sweet treat while you're shopping or venturing around the area. I saw a few people sitting around Union Square munching on soft serve, and I knew I had to have it. Stopped by this spot to get the vanilla soft serve, and I was so pleasantly surprised by how stunning the pastries were. Paying $6 for a small little cup seemed a bit steep but you could tell the ice cream was quite ~luxe~ LOL. It wasn't the best soft serve I've had by any means and it actually had a slight icy texture. But it was relatively thick and it satisfied my cravings.

A bit on the pricier side for what you're getting and they didn't have the snow man cakes! We even got there soon after opening and drove here just for those. The good news is that the service while slow is very friendly. The food is also very good, but again a bit overpriced. It is SF, so it kinda is what it is. Overall, give it three stars, as there is room for improvement.

This is a new cafe by chef Tyler Florence in the heart of Union Square. There are two parts to this place. On one side of the plaza is a patisserie cafe and on the other side is a rotisserie. Both sound good but I only tried the patisserie this time. The patisserie feels like a French cafe with pretty mint green walls, cute decor and a glass display of beautiful desserts. There is no indoor seating but they have a handful of tables outside. Although it's the desserts that will catch your eye, they also serve coffee, tea, hot chocolate and even champagne! I tried their Soft Serve Ice Cream Croissant Cone ($9). It's a pretty ice cream cone that's carefully decorated with chocolate. The Straus organic vanilla soft serve is creamy and delicious. The croissant cone held up well but I would've liked it to be crisp instead of soft. For the extra $3, I recommend getting the soft serve in a cone versus a cup. The cup is served plain and just looked small and kind of sad. Sure it's touristy, but the prices aren't bad for the area. It's the perfect place to grab a fancy snack and watch the ice skaters during the holiday season.

"I'm in line for an ice cream cone." Flashback of my husband saying this while we waited for chimney cones at Garden Creamery to be ready back in 2017. We were taking the kiddo around Union Square over the weekend, and finished lunch at Corzetti nearby. I knew that I wanted to try the ice cream cone that's plagued IG over the past month. Plus I've been a huge fan of Ty Flo for years (swoons). The line to order went by fairly quickly, then I waited outside by their discreet pick up window. It was probably about a five minute wait waiting for my one cone. Employees here remained cheerful and friendly through the constant stream of customers. Seating is super limited as there's only a few tables outside of the pick up window. Turnover seems fairly quick though. Total cost for the soft serve in the croissant was under $11. It's novelty for sure. The croissant is served at room temp, and others have mentioned it would be better served warm, while that sounds divine, if of course would melt the soft serve a lot quicker though. The croissant is flakey enough but isn't super buttery or anything. The soft serve has a light vanilla flavor, and is not super sweet. It kind of was reminiscent of McDonald's soft serve. I loved the little chocolate balls and chocolate stick thing they adorned the ice cream with. Serving size is good for two people to share. The croissant is hollowed out and serves as an enclosed bowl for the croissant, so you basically have to finish like all of the ice cream before moving onto the croissant. Yes, I did it because it's been trending and super intrigued because it's unique. Not sure if I'd get it again, or perhaps if they have a different flavor than vanilla, then I would. I felt like it totally was for the Gram, while not awful, it was just alright. If Garden Creamery ever brings back the chimney cone, I think they'd outshine this M&L creation, as their chimney cone had more taste. A solid 3 stars is fitting, sorry Tyler Florence!

I've been seeing the Instagram-famous Miller and Lux soft serve croissant cones all over my Instagram feed and decided to check out the bakery for myself. It was raining on the day of my visit - which may have discouraged the long lines I was expecting - and I was able to place my order right away. While I was originally planning on trying the soft serve croissant cone, the pastry case caught my eye. I wanted to try something different that I don't normally see at bakeries and ordered the Tahitian Vanilla croissant. This turned out to be an excellent choice; the croissant was light, airy, and flaky, and the Tahitian Vanilla custard hit the spot (note: grab lots of napkins). There are several outdoor tables, but since it was raining, I huddled underneath one of the umbrellas directly outside of the cafe (there is no indoor seating). Location-wise, Miller & Lux Provisions is conveniently located for shoppers craving a decadent pastry, and on a day with nicer weather, it must be pleasant to enjoy your dessert while people watching at Union Square.

Stopped by here after getting off the BART before a Warriors game. This is an absolute must try if you're in the area. This cafe is tucked away in union square, and it's unbelievable the works of art that come out of this patisserie. All the pastries are just visually stunning. I almost felt bad when I took my first bite. The Lime and Yuzu tart tasted just like a key lime pie but elevated. The soft cream was perfectly balanced with the underlying crust. Amazing. The soft serve croissant seems like a simple creation, but how could it be when its components are world class. One of the best croissants I've ever had complemented with a cold soft serve delight. It works. I will definitely come back when I'm in the area, and honestly I'm still starstruck.

Came here on a busy Saturday and there was a line but it moved really quickly. Not surprised that it was busy since it's Tyler Florence's patisserie and it's located in the heart of union square. There are a few tables and chairs outside but it can fill up very quickly. I had to try the Soft serve croissant cone since it went viral and it did not disappoint! The croissant was very soft and flaky and the vanilla soft serve was perfect. They really stuff the croissant with soft serve . I thought it would only be filled on the top, but it was in the whole croissant. I would come back to try more pastries!

We were visiting San Francisco when Miller & Lux Provisions first opened up, but we weren't able to stop in so we made a beeline for it when we came back to San Fran for a conference last month. The pastries were some of the best we've ever had and they were beautiful works of art. We got 3 pastries and a quiche for our group and every single one of them were so delicious and worth the money. I also got an espresso, which was pretty good as well. There's a few tables outside in Union Square so there's some seating, but not much if it gets busy. We'll 100% be coming back on our next trip to San Francisco and we can't wait to have these desserts again!

Miller and Lux Provisions, the bakery counterpart to the upscale Miller and Lux restaurant, offers a unique twist with their ice cream cone (using a croissant in lieu of your run-of-the-mill cone). Intrigued after spotting it on Instagram a few times, I caved and tried it out today. The ice cream, boasting creamy perfection comparable to Dairy Queen, uses the luxurious Straus milk, elevating the treat. But, the croissant fell short of my expectations. While creatively hollowed out to cradle the soft serve, its texture lacked the anticipated crunch and was slightly soft and stale. Despite the steep price tag, hovering around twelve bucks, what can you expect given the prime touristy location in Union Square. Not sure if I'd say the cost is justified for the distinctive and Instagram-worthy dessert but definitely a one and done experience. They also offer the flavors in chocolate as well (also pretty good) but my taste in ice cream is akin to men: vanilla.

TLDR: Went to the Rotisserie side (closer to the Apple store) vs the Patisserie side (closer to Saks) and I really liked it! For $8 each, I thought both sides were well portioned. It's a beautiful little space and everyone who worked there was extremely kind. I'd definitely come back. ------ FOOD: 1. Creamy Pesto Tortellini (5/5) - Tasty pesto coating a delicious tortellini with the occasional sundried tomato adding a burst of flavor 2. Kale Salad (3.5/5) - It was nice and I love kale, but the vinaigrette was just a tad strange so it was more of an acquired taste than something that I liked immediately. Also, they have complementary apples with your purchase! ------ SERVICE: * Wonderful -- we sat at a small table inside and they brought our sides to us. Everyone was extremely nice to us. ------ ENVIRONMENT / AMBIANCE: * Though small, it's a beautiful little shop with a very aesthetic interior. It felt like an upscale French experience * There aren't many seats inside, but there are quite a few tables outside that you can also sit at on a nice day * I'd say that the Rotisserie side isn't as busy as the Patisserie side so if you want some real food without too much of a wait, I'd come here (and they still serve some sweets here too!)

Love the pastries here but they are $$$ even by SF standards, so I'm docking one star for that. I came by for an afternoon snack the Friday before Christmas and it was popping in Union Square. There were so many people taking their picture in front of the Christmas tree and ice skating, so it felt very festive. I went to the patisserie cafe, but there's a rotisserie stand on the other side of the Union Square plaza selling savory bites. There were maybe 15 people ahead of me in line when I got here around 3:30, but the line got much longer maybe 10 minutes later. It's definitely a popular spot, especially during the holidays! They didn't have a ton of pastries left since it was late in the afternoon, just 4 types. I was paranoid they would run out of the snowman and the apple, but luckily they have more in the back and kept refilling the display. I wish they had labels for each pastry so I knew what was inside as well as the price. I'm surprised their staff doesn't get tired of so many customers asking about the inside of pastries. I got both the snowman and the apple, but like I said, they don't come cheap. The snowman was $18 and the apple was $14, plus there's a 7% SF mandate charged on top of tax. I can't believe I paid $37 for two small pastries!! Most expensive dessert I've ever had. They have a small outdoor patio for seating, and luckily we were able to snag a table. There's more seating in the rest of the plaza in front of the Christmas tree. I absolutely loved both desserts. They both looked so realistic, especially the apple as it even had a "dent" on the outside and looked glossy like a real apple does. They use white chocolate to form the outside layer, so it a bit hard to cut on the outside, but inside both pastries were soft. The snowman comes with cranberry on a bed of gingerbread, and the apple had vanilla mousse (if I'm remembering correctly) on an apple tart. The snowman was surprisingly my favorite, but both were really good. I'm glad I tried the pastries out here, but I probably won't be back anytime soon unless I want to pick up a sweet bite for a special occasion.

I tried out the viral ice cream croissant that had been all over my Instagram feed for a while. There wasn't a line during lunchtime and it took about 5 minutes to prepare my order. The vanilla ice cream reminded me of McDonald's soft serve growing up and I loved the presentation with the cute chocolate toppings. However, the croissant I had was cold and wasn't flaky and buttery enough. I may have left it out on the cold outdoor patio for over 3 minutes to take tons of pictures. The bakery was beautifully decorated and displayed with luxurious Christmas decorations and the outdoor seating was nice, yet warn you the birds will fly by. A lot of women were attracted to the ice cream croissant and I overheard compliments as I enjoyed it in front of the Christmas tree in Union Square. I was hoping to attract hot single guys too but instead, I got birds flying in lol There's garage parking available in Union Square but I recommend taking BART and walking from the Powell station or Muni if you're in other SF districts.

Came through to check out the hype after seeing the soft serve photos, but the Union Square location and prices make it pretty clear that this is meant for tourists and Instagram. It was a rainy day out, but there was still a long line towards the Christmas tree. When we got to the front, the majority of the pastries were still available (we got there at 4pm), but they were definitely running low. They didn't have enough boxes for the cakes, as well as certain utensils. We ordered the pumpkin cheesecake and soft serve croissant cone. I'll preface this by saying the cakes were absolutely gorgeous (appearance 10/10). The taste was more of a 6/10. I feel like the cheesecake would have been tasty on its own, but the white chocolate casing masked the taste of everything. It was supposed to be pumpkin spice flavored but none of that really came through. It was also pretty hard to eat. Aside from the aesthetics, pretty disappointing. The soft serve in a croissant cone was not bad - the filling was a milk flavored soft serve and wasn't bad, but I wasn't impressed. If the croissant was flaky and fresh, I'd have enjoyed it a bit more. Instead, it was soft and doughy, while lacking the flavor of butter. I can't say I recommend this spot in the city for a good dessert since there are so many phenomenal places elsewhere that don't have the same opportunities and foot traffic. If you need pretty pastries to look at, this is your spot.

What a delightful bakery! I have been waiting to try it since I saw it on social media and for once social media doesn't disappoint! I got their confetti cookie, confetti macarons and strawberry rhubarb cake! The confetti cookie is so big but it's also very delicious. The Strawberry rhubarb cake tastes both sweet and tart with strawberry glaze, strawberry puree: jam on a nice pie crust. There is limited outside seating and no patio heaters. Recommend getting everything to go on a crowded cold day!

This was in the news and the mayor went because it's a nice cafe and patisserie by a famous chef opening downtown when many downtown businesses are closing, so when I had a dentist appointment a block away, I knew I had to go! The Union Square Christmas tree was up and there was lots of nice seating outdoors sort-of cordoned off. There were tourists out and about around 10am on a Friday morning I liked hearing nicely-dressed groups of women, an older couple, a mom and daughter, and some venture capitalists at the tables next to me. It's a great place to people-watch with the holiday ice rink there now. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and personable--service is five stars. I also love the inside decor with carefully-thought-out art, plates, and plants. The light green is very pretty. Staff helped me pick which pastry to get: 1 Golden Delicious Apple ($14). I also ordered a hot Matcha Latte ($5.50). The apple pastry was delicious and tasted like it was an elevated baked good. It was sweet, tangy, rich, and complex, but not overwhelming. The matcha latte was also nice. I'll be back with friends and my mom (or just myself, because I always deserve a treat) to try more desserts like the pumpkin cheesecake, Tahitian vanilla custard croissant, and local Straus milk organic vanilla soft serve croissant cone!

We were excited to try a new pastry shop while visiting SanFran and we have always enjoyed recipes we have garnered from Tyler Florence so Miller & Lux Provisions was our natural choice...unfortunately, it was a bad choice. The selection was not great, the servers seemed a little like it was an inconvenience to have customers and the seating area outside overlooked a section of Union Square between the building and a wall where some of the area's unsheltered were sleeping. There are a number of wonderful patisseries in this is area and those will be the ones we return to.

We are touring San Francisco and we happen to saw this place while walking. The set up inside is so cute so we were curious to try it out. The staff is so accommodating with all our questions and helped us pick what to order. The strawberry shortcake is so good and the macarons are my favorite! I wish I ordered more to take home. Best macarons I've had in years! Not to mention their hot chocolate is also so good and not too sweet! Will definitely come back and recommend this place!

Personally, I think this shop is overhyped. My friend told me about the new opening and how it was supposed to have really good pastries. I went on a Sunday early evening around 5pm and they still had a lot of pastries left. I wasn't sure which one to get so I went with a chocolate croissant as I believe that a croissant is the original and should be good. It was $8 and wasn't that good, to be honest. My expectations might have been to high from the price point and the popularity but was really not worth it. The staff were really friend however and the store itself was super cute!

This place has really gone done hill. The standard has dropped since they opened this place. They no longer serve dessert. The service is lacking. The employees behind the counter don't bother to pay attention to their customers. They rather talk to each other rather than serving their customers. The ambiance inside feels dead. I got an iced matcha latte it was really water down and tasted really bitter.

I guess they stopped caring a about the soft serve croissant. Soft serve was a little watery and lacked any creaminess and the croissant tasted like day old Costco croissants. Not worth it, even for the gram! Lol

My partner and I came here around 2pm on a Saturday and there weren't too many people. We were looking forward to trying the croissant soft serve because we were seeing it everywhere on social media. The cafe is quite small with some outdoor seating but it's not well kept or clean. We got the croissant with vanilla soft serve. Unfortunately, we did not enjoy it for how much it was, which was around $9-10. The croissant was not flaky at all and very stale and cold like it had been a couple days. The vanilla soft serve was quite decent and had a good texture. However, I felt like I paid $10 for just regular soft serve because I barely touched the croissant, so I don't think it's too worth getting. Maybe I will try their other baked goods another time. Hope that the cafe will improve on the croissant game!

My girlfriend and I came on a Saturday around 2:20pm and there was a short line. We ordered the famous soft serve in the croissant (vanilla). The item as a whole was underwhelming. The soft serve was the only good part. It was pretty creamy and didn't taste like plain vanilla. I'm unsure if it was based on when we ordered, but the croissant was cold and tasted stale. We ended up just finishing the soft serve and tossing the rest. Not really worth trying out unless you want a pretty picture to post :-)

This review is for their patisseries. I came with my family and we got the Paris Brest and chocolate and vanilla soft serve in a croissant cone. The soft serve in the croissant was alright. My favorite was the Paris Brest! I would definitely come back for the Paris Brest!! I think about it all the time. I also would like to try their other desserts and the food at their rotisserie café.

We came in the middle of the day and there wasn't much to chose from but from what we had we enjoyed it

The pastries are amazing here! It is definitely on the pricey side for pastries but so worth it. The staff were super sweet with answering any questions I had about the pastry like how long they'll last outside the fridge (~2-3 hours) and how to explain what's in the dessert (even tho there was an ingredients card). There are little tables outside to enjoy the goodies but I took mines to go on a nice walk around union square.

It's very cute bakery in Union Square which has lovely aesthetically pleasing desserts and croissants - this café is right in the middle of union Square so the location is accessible and super nice. I tried the mandarin dessert and the blueberry cheesecake, I absolutely loved both of them. The best part was that they were not too sweet and the flavor combination was beautiful (unlike something I've had before). The servers were also very helpful and kind. I'll definitely go there again. I highly recommend trying this cute café.

I ordered the cute cakes that they serve at the Miller & Lux restaurant. All of them are very good: not too sweet, not dry, and creative combinations. The people there are quick, but I wouldn't characterize them as super friendly. The storefront is kind of small so it could get cramped if there were a lot of people.

Ok, I'm definitely a Tyler Florence fan. I love his Wayfare Tavern and Miller & Lux restaurant so I had to stop by Miller & Lux Provisions to check out their goods. We went here during Thanksgiving week and grabbed a few goodies prior to ice skating at the Union square rink. I bought a chai latte, chocolate chip cookie and a croissant. I had high expectations since I love his restaurants and know the caliber of food he serves is amazing. The chai latte was forgettable. I wouldn't order it again unless they add more flavor. The chocolate chip cookie was thick and pretty good. The only thing is, it was cold and would have been much better warmed up. The chocolate croissant was just OK. I have to go back and try more things and maybe my rating will go up? I don't know but I wasn't very impressed for my first visit.
