“Excellent service and delicious food. Really loved the freshness of the crudo and the sandwich was very rich and perfect for sharing. Obviously great wine with a good selection of glasses and bottles available. Best to make a reservation because it's on the small side but definitely with a try.“
“I tried baguette, puff pastry brioche and fig tartlet.The baguette was nothing more, the brioche was hollow rancid but it must have been an accident since the others are delighted with it and after informing the shop I got a refund which is very kind and fair play. The tartlet was divine and I dream of tasting it again but since I don't live nearby, I never found it on the right day, even via Doordash. In short, give it a try and if you are disappointed, don't hesitate to talk to them directly about it, they are open people.“
“Highly recommend the breakfast burrito-- the housemade sausage was excellent. The breakfast potatoes were above average.Limited seating, but cool, cozy vibe. Can imagine it would be a long wait during the weekend, but we didn't have to wait on a Friday morning.“
“Loved coming here on a rainy Sunday morning. No wait. Great parking. So cozy. Very small and tight inside but otherwise, a gem. Had the olive oil cake and a black coffee. Got lemon tart, chocolate espresso buttercream slice, and a pastry (forgot name) with orange and sugar..resembled Kouign amann...I actually prefer going to cafes on a rainy day. Something about have pastries and coffee in the rain makes me happy!“
“This place is great! A great alternative to the common taqueria style Mexican dishes you’ll find throughout the mission. In my top 3 of Mexican places in SF. I predict it’s only a matter of time before this places blows up and has overwhelming lines! Which would be a good thing! ?“
“Il Canto Cafe is pretty awesome. Hella convenient for me because my office is upstairs. Back in the day, this used to be a Tully's coffee. To the right of it used to be a pretty busy Chinese restaurant. All that is gone now. This morning I got really hungry and weren't quite ready for lunch yet. The guy said good morning to me when I went out for a cigarette, so I decided to try their breakfast croissant (cheese egg sausage) $7. It was tasty! It hit the spot and I was ready for work again. Take-out service was excellent.“
“First time here but had heard good things about New Taraval Cafe from others and it lived up to the rumors! I ordered the Smash Burger with grilled onions ($13) and it was fantastic! The burger had two patties and was so thick I couldn't fit my mouth around it. The whole thing was so moist (in a good way) that I couldn't keep it together. It was at least a three napkin burger and even then, the juices were running down my hands and wrists! It came with a side ofries and they were good as well. The only thing I would've wanted along with this burger would be a nice thick milkshake, but my calorie count would've never allowed it! Didn't even look to see if they offered shakes! My friend had the scrambled eggs with hash browns, toast, and bacon and she really enjoyed her meal. The eggs were cooked medium, so they looked moist. There were five strips of bacon (that's a LOT of bacon), all fried nice and crisp. The hash browns looked delicious; lots of crunchy parts and soft insides. She had two slices of sourdough toast with butter and jam, too, and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice (you can see the machine near the cooking area). This is a great neighborhood find. Lots of people seem to know about this place; there was a line when we arrived at 12:30 and had to wait about 15 minutes for a table although space at the counter opened up before that. I noticed a fruit plate going by that had a great mixture of fresh fruit on it, so everything seems to be fresh here. I'll definitely go back to try other items!“
“Living nearby, we consistently choose this spot for its unbeatable combination of food variety, prices, and exceptional staff.The open kitchen concept is a highlight, showcasing the chefs' remarkable speed and coordination.While weekends can get busy due to its popularity and small size, the overall dining experience never disappoints.Highly recommended for a satisfying meal close to home or if visiting SF!“
“Great spot for excellent coffee, friendly baristas and a pure SF vibe to it all. Besides coffee and pastry offerings, Cafe Suspiro has a well curated selection of books and vinyl to shop. It’s a cafe definitely worth going out of the way for.“
“Best breakfast burrito of my life hands down. The tater tots were crispy, eggs were flavorful and not dry, tortilla was warm and fresh. What a fantastic burrito. Also had a delicious piña fresa agua fresca. On top of the great food they are able to churn out orders so even though it was very busy the wait wasn’t bad at all.“
“This has become our go-to cake for our birthdays, and we love it! The chocolate imperial cake is our favorite and it is a chocoholics dream. I never share it with anyone because it so darn tasty!It is pricier than a lot of other cake places, but well worth the money for a special occasion.“
“So this was probably the best smoked salmon sandwich I had in my life so far. The Brazilian cream cheese is so good with the salmon!The coffee with milk didn't need sugar, it's just so refreshing on its own.I tried a small bite of the Veggie omelet, and the tapioca crepe is so good, and the omelet is even better.Highly recommended at the fisherman's wharf, with a order by number service, in a good location, I'm gonna say you have to try it here!Vegetarian options: You can get vegetarian options that are clearly marked. Pretty sure you can make minor substitutions, but you'll have to ask!“
“I had to contact Bread Belly to get an itemized receipt for processing a reimbursement for one of my colleagues who had a work meeting there and forgot to get the receipt. The staff at Bread Belly were extremely responsive when I wrote to them to request a copy of the itemized receipt.“
“The kale Caesar’s salad with the crispy chickpeas is one of the best salads I’ve ever had anywhere, and the sweet potato tartine was also perfect. Great tea, absolutely beautiful space, laptop-friendly, good vibes, all around an excellent place that makes me wish I was in SF more often just so I could go there more. :’)“
“The buns here are really good. The bread was incredibly soft and airy with such a delectable milky-sweet flavor. Beef curry filling was okay but BBQ pork was excellent. Decent amount of filling, no red dye, and absolutely delicious. Pork floss bun is also amazing if you're looking for something more savory.“
“Nestled in the heart of San Francisco, this coffee shop offers a haven for coffee aficionados and food enthusiasts alike. My recent visit left me impressed with its delightful array of coffee and quick bite options, coupled with its inviting ambiance.Stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately drawn to its charming decor, which added to the overall appeal of the space. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee permeated the air, setting the stage for a memorable experience.However, my only disappointment arose when I opted for the affogato as a "for here" option, only to find it served in a to-go cup. While this was a minor inconvenience, it detracted from the otherwise pleasant experience.Furthermore, I noticed that the tables were not adequately cleaned, which was unexpected for a coffee shop of this caliber. Despite this oversight, the quality of the coffee and food options compensated for the minor shortcomings.With a few improvements in service, it has the potential to become a favorite spot for locals and tourists alike.“
“I only tasted the pain au chocolat and the choux and I was won over. The cabbages are super good, the taste is fine and sought after. The pain au chocolat is worth a French one. The place is pleasant and the staff welcoming. Only remark: the tea served in a small half-full mug, a little too light for my taste, even if I am used to European portions.“
“I've been coming to David Rio for years as I used to work right near by. This place is definitely worth a stop and by far some of the best chai I've had in the US. I've gotten to try their whole menu, you can't go wrong with anything here. My favorites are the tea frappe, flamingo and black rhino. You currently can't sit inside which is understandable. This is owned locally and highly recommend stopping by.“
“My team ordered catering from Hungry Cafe and everyone raved about the food! Mo was super responsive to our outreach and he and his colleague Ryan went above and beyond to ensure our group had a great experience. The Southeast Community Center is also a beautiful space filled with awesome local nonprofit organizations and other community-oriented people. 10/10 would recommend!“
“Came for a Too Good to Go. Paid 7$ for a full box that can make 2 meals honestly. It’s not with the 21$ expected for sure, but it’s still a very good deal, especially in this district !Everything was really goodHot when I went to pick it up“
“I was visiting the city and stopped by for some breakfast with friends which turned out to be the best decision ever! We had the everything bagel with cream cheese, croissant with egg and cheese, and croissant with tuna, tomatoes, lettuce, and hot sauce (if not more items). The food was rich in flavour and the staff are incredible and very nice. We stopped by the next day for some more croissants with egg and cheese!“
“You can't beat getting a hot beverage when you are chilly at the ocean! This place has a beach vibe. It's right at the city light rail turnaround for the N-Judah, which you can take to the beach and enjoy lunch at this cafe.Vegetarian options: I didn't see the menu, but they had hot chocolate, which is vegetarian, if not strictly vegan. They had oat milk, though, which is nice.“
“If you need a locksmith, I strongly suggest this locksmith and crew. They are incredibly prompt and professional. I phoned, and he arrived the same day, which was exceptional. He performed an excellent job at our property. In addition to replacing a lock and producing replacement keys, Team provided me with valuable information and suggestions regarding my type of lock.“
“As an ube lover, it made my day to find this place! They serve ube pastries from Ube Area and also specialty drinks including the Ube Matcha Latte. I got the ube tiramisu (are you kidding me!!) and the ube pandan brownie - you cannot go wrong with these!The barista was so kind and helped answer any questions I had and she was the one that recommended the tiramisu for me. It's more of a local cafe for the neighborhood so it was pretty quiet - there were a few bar seats by the window and a big table at the back.“
“Such a cute and different coffee shop. I had the Honeybee latte and a tomato quiche. The latte was far better than I expected- perfect balance of sweet and flavorful. Not overly sweet at all! The quiche was very flavorful and moist and the crust was buttery and flaky. I ordered mine to go but I thoroughly enjoyed the decor while I waited for my order to be made. Cute little details all over the place. The hand doodled coffee sleeve was a fun and adorable touch. Looking forward to returning on my next visit to Burlingame.“
“Esther and Giuliano, are just two amazing people! We stopped here purely based on reviews, and it did not disappoint. The coffee was absolutely wonderful! My wife is the coffee drinker and said her latte was one of the best she's ever had. I'm not big on coffee, but if we lived near here I'd come everyday because the coffee was so good. But what truly sets them apart is their hospitality. From the moment we walked in until we left, they were both so sweet and genuine. This will be a must stop everytime we're in SF from now on.“
“TLDR: tasty Latin inspired vegetarian food with outdoor seating4.5 starsWe ordered the rice bowl which had great flavors with the nuts and the brown rice is the best brown rice I’ve ever hadThe Hugo Street was so flavorful with tamale at the bottom but a little bit too much sauce made the bottom parts too salty“
“How anyone could give this restaurant below 5 stars is beyond me!!Best, chillest, casual brunch in San Francisco, with food that is absolutely perfect.After retuning here time after time, it’s finally time to leave my review!The vibe here is very casual, you order up front and then seat yourself. You’re surrounded by a clean airy space with racks of fresh croissants cooling in the corners and a not-too-loud music serenade.Food is so good, I often order it from DoorDash when I’m not able to come in.The croissants are so soft , flaky, taste like they came straight from Europe.Recently I tried the key like croissant and it was so fun and refreshing!Hands down the best egg sandwich in San Francisco. Thick slabs of juicy bacon, perfectly salted egg, generous smears of avocado, and melty cheddar are sandwiched between 2 large slices of lightly toasted fresh sourdough bread.There is also some light magical herbed spread that makes this sandwich truly unbeatable.Can’t get enough of it.I’m known for always saying “I can make this better in my kitchen” when I’m at restaurants, but I can honestly say that there is nothing at Vive La Tarte that I could make better in my own kitchen, coming from a professional baker!“
“Good coffee, but on the pricier side for the size. The orange blossom is my favorite. The golden goat is good (though I am a big fan of goat cheese so that is probably a good indicator of whether or not to try it). Nice staff, animal friendly.“
“An extremely authentic place. Very tasty cuisine. The borscht was incredibly tasty and very homemade. There is also a huge selection of various baked goods, which are no less tasty. The almost constant queue outside the cafe speaks for itself.The only negative is the small number of seats. Everything else was great ⭐️“
“Buena Vista Irish Pub in San Francisco offers a delightful dining experience with its fantastic food and welcoming atmosphere. The crabcake Benedict is filled with fresh lump crab meat, not canned.The food was amazing but hold your horses? because THE COFFEES are incredible. ?The bartenders are ready to mix up a coffee cocktail that will leave you floating on cloud nine. I had one Mexican coffee and 30 mins later I was at home in a beautiful slumber ?☕️“
“Food is amazing here! Everything from the short rib plate to burgers! The only thing better than the food is the people running it. Everyone is so friendly it's incredibly refreshing. James is usually at the register- awesome guy that treats you like family. Love it!“
“We came to Darren's based on other reviews. We were pleasantly surprised to find they were accurate - the waitstaff is very polite and the service was great. The food was very good, so much so we went for breakfast both days we were in San Francisco, and the server remembered us on the second day - and what we ordered. Highly recommend. Also, as a side note, on our first day we watched as they handed out breakfast sandwiches to the disabled unhoused persons near their restaurant. It was good to see they also have a heart.“
“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.“
“I have to say, Tartine Bakery in San Francisco never disappoints! The aroma of freshly baked bread as you walk in is enough to make your mouth water. Their almond croissants are my weakness, with their rich almond filling and flaky layers that melt in your mouth.“
“Basic coffee and sandwich spot in a medical facility meets changing your mind about how to eat a healthy but tasty breakfast while having to deal with our countries medical systems. Worth a stop if you happen to be in the area. Definitely worth it to share with a friend in care.“
“My hot matcha drink is made with Matcha powder that is organic and from Japan. The soy milk is organic too. Friendly service. The heat is on and kept cozy on a chilly day. I’m glad I stumbled upon this spot when in need of a little pick-me-up :)“
“Very pretty and quiet cafe that sits in a peaceful area! I came here in the morning, and I ordered one of the breakfast burritos, and the presentation was beautiful! The coffee was pretty good, but I wouldn’t leave without trying their food primarily. I would definitely come here often if I lived in the area.“
“Beautiful European style coffee shop service fresh salads, sandwiches, and pastry. I went in today and the hospitality was amazing. Coffee properly done in the espresso machine and Callí (?) was so helpful. If I worked in the area, I’d go everyday. Their ham cheese croissant was so nice. It really felt like I was in Paris or Rome.“

“One of San Francisco's hidden gems ?! We had just returned from visiting The Wiz in Emerald City. Tough trip, so we were hungry. We goggle nearby restaurants and saw that Z Zoul Cafe was only a ten minute walk away at 295 Eddy St. It was Super Bowl Sunday, so the streets were kind of empty. We found the place. The first thing we noticed was how small but quaint it was. We were greeted by one of the owners and seated right away. We were served hot and spicy tea that was delicious! The menu was small, but the choices were great! The four of us ordered different things so we could share. I decided on the Beef Kofta that came with a green salad, Basmati rice with Tahini sauce and hummus, which you could tell was freshly made. When the food arrived, we were shocked and pleased that the amount was huge! We were told they believed in making sure you had plenty. We did! The beef was very, very tender and tasty! None of us were disappointed with anything. I will say that when you go, try the Dalya Pudding. It's made with Egyptian rice and has the right amount of sweetness. We all had leftovers to take home. The price for all of us was far less than we would have paid at well-known restaurants and totally worth it! I know we will be returning to Z Zoul. It's five stars worth it ! By the way, the word Zoul means, 'friend'. Indeed.“
“I love this bakery. The vibe and aesthetic is so beautiful. The passionfruit fizz drink is something I dream about, as well as this candied hibiscus cookie... OMG! I also love to follow them on instagram and just drool over the gorgeous cakes.“
“El Cafe has been my go-to favorite cafe in sf for YEARS now! I can’t believe I haven’t written a review yet! Not only is their staff all wonderful people, but their food and drinks are to die for! Awesome atmosphere, relaxed and great prices. Literally what more could you want! I love coming here on my days off for their breakfast panini! Been getting it for years and the quality has never wavered. Couldn’t recommend El Cafe more. ?“
“Great service. Food is consistent. Love the chill atmosphere after playing beach volleyball every weekend. They support our non profit SFBV with a cooler of beers and let us use their bathroom on tournament days!!.. their breakfast sandwich is worth the line wait.“
“This is a germ hidden in the hood ;) food is yummy and nice presentation even with take-out order. Parking is easy there. They even have an area for local artist to leave their item to sell. It's a self-service cafe. Simple and open environment , good for meet up and work remotely.“
“Love this place! Went for the first time this morning and was pleasantly surprised at how good and affordable the food was! We paid $35 including tip for the half size udon, full teriyaki plate, 12pc sushi, and two drinks. LOVED the teriyaki! The employees(owners?) were so friendly, we can’t wait to go back! Be advised they are cash or Venmo only“
“It was a pleasant surprise when I found this place in Chinatown. Super cute interior and superb food! It’s a perfect place for Sunday brunch. And it was not even crowded on Sunday. The circular French toast was one of the best I’ve tasted. Will definitely come back.“
“Cute place located inside a parking garage. Look for the Wells Fargo to enter - very close to Union Square and sandwiches you will remember. They are great about customizing there as well - I got the black bean vegetarian sandwich and I'm still remembering it months later! Check out the unique KitKat selection there - flavors like churro and birthday cake KitKats!Vegetarian options: Excellent black bean vegetarian sandwich and they customize with the bread and spreads!“
“The chef here is one of the best person I’ve seen for a long time. The food is full of love. The portioning of the food is excellent along with the amazing contrasting of flavors. These are by far the best sandwiches we have had in a long while!“
“The ambiance here is totally old school San Francisco and an experience in itself. Cozy - okay a bit tavernish - but very welcoming. Drinks are far more reasonably priced than the nearby establishments and tables were full of friends (all ages) socializing or like us waiting to go on to their dinner reservation. Only food is saltines and a wedge of cheese - it's hilarious but works. In a city where so much has become the same with cool restaurants and stylish bars - it's a breath of fresh air - something I never thought I would say. We loved it and will be back.“
“My husband and I had the pleasure of trying the tea from this store. The quality and taste of the tea are fresh and strike that perfect balance!! We had the Yifang fruit tea and the sugar cane mountain tea. They are both amazing!!!!We grew up in Taiwan, and this is definitely an authentic taste of home to us!!We highly recommend this tea shop to anyone looking for a treat and tea option that will really bring you a piece of Taiwan!“
