Devil's Teeth Baking Company
A biscuit holding scrambled egg, avocado, bacon and pepper jack, with lemon-garlic aioli. Julia Chen would give it a gold medal.
Why go
Julia Chen scored the Noriega Street counter 8.2 for the Infatuation in March 2024 and led with the sandwich: If there was a biscuit sandwich Olympics, the Special Breakfast Sandwich from Devil's Teeth would win gold. It's a stack of perfectly scrambled eggs, avocado, bacon, pepper jack, and a smear of lemon-garlic aioli that really ties the handheld knockout together.
1 The rest of the case is the pastry counter, cookies and quiche and a cinnamon roll served without icing. It is a morning operation three blocks from the beach end of the Sunset.
Order this / avoid
- Order: the Special Breakfast Sandwich.
- Order: the cinnamon roll. Chen calls it
a fantastic icing-less cinnamon roll,
which is a compliment about the bake rather than the frosting.1 - Avoid: planning an afternoon around it.
What locals & experts say
- The Infatuation SF (Julia Chen, 18 March 2024), 8.2: on the rest of the case, the bakery
also does pretty classic pastries, including cookies, quiche.
1 - The Infatuation SF, guide inclusions: the same outlet files it in its breakfast, bakery and breakfast-sandwich guides, which are editor lists rather than second verdicts.2
Good to know
- Which door: this is the Outer Sunset counter at 3876 Noriega. Chen's review notes a second outpost in the Richmond and prints no address for it.
- Booking: counter service, walk up.
- Getting there: Noriega at 46th, a few blocks from Ocean Beach.
Verdict
should-visit — A biscuit holding scrambled egg, avocado, bacon and pepper jack, with a lemon-garlic aioli that Julia Chen says is what ties it together. She scored the counter 8.2 for the Infatuation in March 2024 and opened her review by putting the sandwich in a medal ceremony. A cinnamon roll served without icing is the second thing here worth a detour, because leaving the icing off is a decision about the bake rather than an omission. It is one counter and one sandwich, which is exactly what it claims to be.
