50 Best Cafes near Colma

“I have been here since they have existed, usually when I am in the area or when I am craving for a refreshing drink. Most of the times there are lines out the door and I do not mind the wait since I am a very patient person. I am glad they opened a location here since there are not much boba shops within the area. The staffs here are well trained, welcoming and understanding where I never encountered an issue during any of my visits. Their menu consists of traditional milk teas, fruit teas, lattes, specialty drinks and much more. Everything is made to order which is always a plus for me. You can order either from the counter or at any of their self serve kiosks. The shop is compact and it is best to wait outside after placing your order. I highly recommend this place to all boba enthusiasts, anyone in need of a refresher or if you are looking to try something new. I definitely will be back to tryout the other refreshing options they have to offer.“

“This place serves the best breakfast in san francisco for a great price.

Cash only or venmo so be prepared.

Bagels and croissants are both delicious. I havent had any drinks from here yet as I just make tea at home. Its really popular here though so I imagine their drinks are as good as the food.

Ive tried the asiago bagel with a Lil mayo, bacon egg and cheese as well as the croissant with sausage egg and cheese and hot sauce. Highly recommend the hot sauce here, it doesnt taste like a hot sauce ive had before. Its a little sweet and not too spicy or vinegary. I got one of each today for 11.75. I didnt know if I should tip via venmo, so I didnt, so ill bring extra cash next time.

Even if I didnt live as close as i do, id come here.

The only downside is there is no place to sit. Its intended to get your breakfast needs and scoot scoot.“

“Great facility and staff for hands-on culinary skills learning.“

“My local sibling brought me here for breakfast after a hiking trip. The Brisket Hash and sourdough toast hit the spot! The hot sauces completed a perfect package. My wife didn't speak while there were still Loc Benedict on her plate, and our coffee cups never emptied. Staff were genuinely friendly and excited to tell us about other restaurants in the city to try while visiting. Portions were hearty, and I would have happily paid more for the experience. This is a must-return spot for me!“

“One65 was an amazing discovery on our trip to San Francisco. Having spent the first half of our life in Montréal, Québec, Canada where it was hard to find a bad restaurant, we were absolutely amazed by this Bistro which looks more like a high end dining experience. The menu online & the photos attracted us to this location but we were amazed by the well timed service, the crisp white tablecloths, the table setting and the pleasant and calm atmosphere. My choices of charcuterie platter was perfectly sized; the chicken & the pork rillettes where a wonderful surprise. My husband had an onion tart with the crust as perfect as they get & which I envied. He loved his halibut, moist and tender and I raved over my grilled half lobster, so tender that I found myself munching on the shell parts as well. My bread pudding was not of overwhelming size & perfectly flavored. Don chose the Affogato (scoop of vanilla gelato « drowned » with a shot of hot espresso). We wanted to go back today but they are closed on Sundays.?“

“San Francisco’s most hidden gem“

“Tried a lot of bánh mi spots in SF, and this is the best! Recommend their combo and chicken. Great quality, portions, and under $10. They take cash and card, plus you can call ahead to order. Just make sure to order earlier in the day because they sell out fast!“

“Amazing burritos. Bomb.com“

“Five bright stars, Lissa darling!“

“Small breakfast spot with great food at a really good price and it is open on Sundays. We tried three different breakfast places during our stay but this one was the only open on Sunday. Food was great, price very good, just that there is barely any space to sit. So we had a table outside.“

“Definitely a cafe with the loveliest atmosphere in town! My partner and I often come here for our deep talk and book clubs talk over coffee. The green ambience, both indoor and outdoor spaces, will make you feel calm. If you are looking for a great atmosphere, look to no other than Stable 💚“

“اكل حلال اسعار في متناول اليد تعامل قمة في الذوق“

“Local, family owned & operated new coffee shop with delicious coffees - alt milk options available (almond, soy, oat) chai & matcha lattes, tea, pastries and more focusing on the individual experience and quality served in a welcoming and friendly environment. Just hop in Varney Alley off of 3rd near the Shell gas; you won’t be disappointed!“

“If you can get a table in this place, you are a very lucky person because all the dishes are fantastic.
You can still hope for a table on the sidewalk if the weather is clement.
All pastries and savory dishes are of the highest quality and the highest level. You cannot go wrong here!!!
Of course, the price is correlated to the quality but it is all worth it!“

“Good food and excellent service! I highly recommend their coffee drinks. Also, the fresh squeezed OJ is such a treat. I am sure their non-brunch items are good but I am still obsessed with their breakfast items.“

“Good food, friendly service, and a comfortable space overall. I enjoyed the breakfast sandwich, the cookies, and the hot chai. I'm looking forward to going back again soon. 😊“

“This is a GREAT little local cafe! But it is very small and gets busy fast, so go early or you will have to wait to get in.
The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable (for San Francisco) and everything is delicious!
But like most good places in the city, parking sucks and it's crowded.

It's one of our favorites!“

“It's a mom and pop shop, and the owners are extremely friendly. After realizing it's my first time here, they introduced menu items to me with passion and even offered extra toppings for what I ordered. I got a chicken teriyaki bento and a soba noodle bowl for my family. The food is really good with great portions, at a very reasonable price point. I will definitely come back.“

“Good for a quick bite. I like the local feel of the place but it can get very crowded, especially on the weekends so I'm glad for the outdoor tables. I like to stop by when I'm going to hang out near Ocean Beach. The food is tasty!“

“Great gem of a spot for a quick bite and nice ambience. Enough space to sit and work
With fast wifi.

Have some good healthy foods and more hearty foods. I had the vegetable sandwich which was good. Coffee was nice and not super acidic which is what I prefer.

Servers were bubbly and nice!“

“Exceptionally helpful & friendly staff cooking superb food in a very chill environment. A must visit in the city.“

“Cafe de Olla is an attractive, warm and friendly restaurant. The food and drink are delicious. I love their fermented pineapple juice and Tlayudas. Check it out!“

“Favorite Portuguese egg tarts in the city and cheapest. Come here if you want to taste authentic flavors. This one nails it though it is very unassuming and hole in the wall feel bakery. They often sell out so I recommend coming in the mornings. Other people frequently order 5 or more at a time so they run out. If you see a line of old chinese people ordering, you know it is good.“

“This was super tasty and quick. The total was $20 with a 20% tip which skme people may not add with it not being a real service. I tried the OG burrito with Agua fresca which were both really solid. The women running the front of house were super cordial and crushing a long line of orders. The interior was authentic and cozy. I was recommended this place by my family in California.“

“Terrific little cafe hidden away inside the 450 Sutter Building that has truly friendly service, excellent coffee and perhaps the best sandwiches in SF! The Black Bean Veggie Patti is a taste tour de force (healthy too). Def worth searching out if you’re in the area.“

“Great little find while touring the city! Had to stop by three times in two days. Fantastic sandwich’s and great pastries.“

“Great place and great coffee“

“I have been here a few times now. Great food, great service, combined with a modest price. Get there for the early bird and the deals are even better. I have enjoyed their breakfast multiple times. It’s got that charm that I absolutely love when walking into a breakfast/lunch restaurant. Lots of locals eat here, and the television screens run a montage of pictures of all the great parties and festivities that occurs in the Castro. Great place to eat and start your day!“

“One of the cutest little cafes across from my hotel. Very nice staff. I love how they welcome you in and offer suggestions. They’re kind, smiling and it makes me feel welcome. I got the egg and cheese with avocado on a croissant. Coffee and a chocolate muffin. Everything was delicious! I’m so happy I tried them and they’re def my go-to for the remainder of my stay.“

“Stumbled across this cafe while exploring Golden Gate Park, and I do not regret it at all. I ordered a Smoked salmon sandwich which came with a side salad, and an iced latte. Took a bit of time to prepare, but the wait was absolutely worth it.Reasonably priced with impeccable plating, and the staff are warm and welcoming. Would absolutely recommend!“

“Came here for brunch on a Sunday. The place is fairly small so there was a bit of a wait to get seats. The menu read my mind! I was torn between the Hugo street retreat and the breakfast bowl dishes but there was thankfully a “best of both worlds” dish that had bits of both. So that’s what I went with. It was a a pretty good and filling brunch with a nice cold beer to wash everything down.“

“Highly recommend Best coffee in San Francisco ☕️“

“Delicious and fresh almond crescent and Tasty latte, very enjoyable!“

“My favorite new neighborhood cafe. Great atmosphere and excellent middle eastern treats and drinks. Love the quiet middle eastern music playing in the background. Also, they are open until 10 PM! That is so rare to find a cafe open in the evening. Highly recommend for a quiet bite and good wifi.“

“Great little shop, closest thing I’ve had to a NYC bodega sandwich since movie west. Fantastic smoothies, bacon egg and cheese sandwiches, and coffee. Prices are far more reasonable than most places within the bay and the staff are awesome“

“My wife and I really enjoyed our dinner at Acova. The menu is very interesting and varied. My wife had fish and chips and I chose the beef short ribs. Both dishes were super. Our server was helpful and attentive. We appreciate the fairly low noise level so we could have a comfortable conversation. Thank you.“

“Got two boxes from this eatery as part of the Too good to go initiative. Would otherwise have never heard of this place or ventured in, as it is inside one of those big downtown buildings that one has no business visiting unless one works inside. There is no seating for the eatery itself, it’s basically a order counter for to go orders. The man taking orders and preparing the food is super friendly and very efficient. Food itself was tasty although I only tried whatever was in the surprise box so it wasn’t any of the actual menu choices.“

“great service, delicious sandwiches“

“This place is a gem! Their food is incredibly sophisticated and delightful. The guy running it us really kind and helpful. And there are great outdoor spots nearby to eat. Definitely considering coming here for lunch, breakfast or a smoothie! (By the way, they are NOT located in an office complex. It's a really nice community center, with a cool garden/playground.)“

“Cafe International is a welcoming cafe in Lower Haight. The delightful owner, Zahra, is inviting and warm. The food is as outstanding as the coffee, making it the perfect spot to checkout. Be sure to stay for the live music.“

“Excellent strawberry and banana crêpes that came with a side of whipped cream. The coffee was alright. Service was competent. They only take cash. The decor was old school, as if we had stepped into an establishment from an earlier era. I was not a huge fan of the atmosphere as the surroundings seemed old and rundown. That said, the place was clean.“

“Love this place!! Randomly chose this place (good gôogle reviews and in the neighborhood) to meet a friend for a hot drink. Was a little noshy, Got tempted by the menu and ordered the breakfast burrito, friend ordered avocado toast. Food was super delicious and garnished nicely. Made friends w the enthusiastic and gregarious staff. Enjoyed everything about this place! all the small touches, the awesome art on the wall and the welcoming comfy atmosphere made it a great first impression. Thanks Chris and "Papa" for some scrumptious food, perfection in a Mexican cocoa, and for making us feel like we came to exactly the right place. 😃😉☺️... I'm definitely gonna try the empanadas next time.!!!!“

“Love the cozy atmosphere here.“

“Finally made it to the Sandwich Boss - so good! First of all my sandwich was huge. It’s about 3 meals for me. And the toppings were super high quality. I had the Godfather- highly recommend. And the people who work there are so lovely. Made me feel like we were old friends. I will be back!“

“Best coffee ☕️ and the best service“

“Everardo at Angelina’s Catering was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the start, he was incredibly patient, responsive, and genuinely appreciative of our business, which made the entire process feel seamless and enjoyable.

He took the time to ensure everything was just right, and the end result did not disappoint—the food was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared.

It’s rare to find both excellent service and quality, and Everardo and the team at Angelina’s truly delivered on both. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again and highly recommend them for any catering needs!“

“great value and delicious on- the- go breakfast selections. An independent establishment that enhances the neighborhood.“

“The food there is very amazing!! Been going there for 2 years now! Met the owner Teresa since 2 years too! She's very nice and has wonderful passion for the sandwich business! As always, keep up the wonderful work!“

“The ice coffee ☕ was delicious and pastries“

“Hidden Gem Energy on Clement!

I randomly discovered this charming little café at 3117 Clement St—and WOW, what a find. This place is the definition of quaint meets character. The moment you walk in, you’re wrapped in a warm, rustic vibe that feels effortlessly cozy—like a secret neighborhood escape you almost want to keep to yourself.

The owner? Absolute gem. So friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive—you can feel the heart behind the space, which makes the whole experience even more special.

Now let’s talk food—the sandwiches are SO delicious (fresh, flavorful, and satisfying), and the coffee is on point. Everything just hits right.

What really makes this place stand out is the atmosphere—it’s incredibly comfortable and versatile. Whether you’re looking to study, read, take meetings, or just vibe out, this spot delivers. It has that rare balance of calm energy and character.

Highly recommend. A true Clement Street treasure. I’ll definitely be back.“
