Really good sandwiches. The staff is always so nice! Great cafe to do work or just relax for a bit.

Decided to try this spot for lunch after a day at the beach and it did not disappoint. My friends and I ordered the pesto turkey sandwiches and they were delicious. I was also pleasantly surprised to see that it came with a side of fries. The sandwich had smoked turkey, cheese, pesto, and fresh veggies. The fries were also perfectly made. We each also ordered a latte, and I had the vanilla latte. It was not too sweet which I liked, and the espresso was nice and strong. The service was also so friendly and efficient. We would definitely come back again for the food and for the calm ambiance to do some work/studying!

There's so many cafes and brunch cafes in San Francisco. I was on California going to YMCA tennis. I hadn't seen this one and decided to try it. I got an omelette with bacon and avocado. It was alright and fun to try, but really distant...these aloof strangers are going to make things not as good.

Rude waitress, very unwelcoming, their music has ads so if you like listening to commercials then this place is for you, highly recommend…Edit in response to owner: Find better staff who welcoming because she was not. She was very cold. I was about to make a purchase until she said the store is closing at 6pm (in 4 minutes). So we left. And the closing time on Google listed 7pm. It’d be helpful for accurate operating times.Second edit to response: I understand it’s a business. Every cafe we go to we are patrons there paying for the ammenities. Blue bottle, Cafe Reveille, etc. Cafes like those aren’t rude to their customers nor ask them to pay to be there in a passive aggressive way. She could’ve approached it warmly but didn’t. Watch the video again and look at her body language. She had such negative energy how she was talking to us. We responded by laughing it off with confusion like what just happened? Wouldn’t you? And yeah, we would’ve bought something like we always do with other cafes but not when we’re treated like that and the fact that we had minutes before closing the second time she came up to us. Again, we expected to be there till 7pm which Google stated was closing time. But it was in fact 6pm. It didn’t make sense so we left.

Friendly, quick service on our warm beverages. Nice variety of seating from large kitchen-style table to smaller two-person arrangements and a couple of tables outside in front. Big windows to watch the Inner Richmond neighborhood go by.

I wanted to like this place, but the food was sadly low quality. It was very greasy food and I can feel the cheap oils they cooked with sitting in my stomach. Sausage was way too salty and also sugary. I don't like to leave bad reviews but I felt this one was warranted, although it'd be a great place to work from (lots of tables, outlets, relatively quiet) I would not go here again.

Great cafe for grabbing a bite or studying. They have lots of seating. The coffees were delicious- we tried drip coffee, iced latte, and hot chai. The food was so fresh and yummy. We had the egg sandwich, raspberry bar, banana bread, and sweet potato fries. Would not come across the city for this but will definitely be back if we are in the area. Service was friendly and quick
Only in San José
What’s a wholesome establishment! The service was great, it was a slow beautiful Sunday morning, the place was pretty packed with people both working and gathering. The veggie sandwich was one of the best ever had. Great ingredients, I got it to go and it was beautiful made, packaged and all.

Very nice relaxing experience. Needed a place to grab a bite and put in a couple of hours work. Tea is phenomenal!
Got a turkey sandwich, comes with a choice of fries, sweet potatos or salad. It was fairly tasty with sauce and texture, made warm, about typical (so pricey) SF prices -- $15-something list price, adds up to $17 with my obligatory tech worker tip. I was in search of a cafe to sit down and work at and it was nice and spacious, had available outlets, had nice natural light from a bright day outdoors, and WiFi available for paying patrons. Music wasn't too loud although I was still spacey and had a hard time concentrating -- still trying to figure out how to make the 'work from cafe' concept work for me. I'd come here to try again sometime if I'm in the area again.

One of my new favorite cafes to get work done or get through check-in meetings. Summary: Food: 9/10 Cafe drinks: 9/10 Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 7/10 Parking: 5/10 What I've tried and loved: Iced Brewed Mojito - 9/10 Ice Blackeye - 8/10 Mina's Veggie - 10/10 FOOD/CAFE DRINKS: 9/10 I am obsessed with their Mina's veggie sandwich. It's a bit expensive but so fresh and such a hearty portion. Shiitake mushrooms, avocado, quinoa, greens, cherry tomatoes, ugh so so good. I love their cafe drinks. I honestly can taste the good quality of the espresso shots within their Cafe drinks and that is one of the reasons why I love this cafe. SERVICE: 10/10 The man at the register is always so approachable and very chill the two times that I've been here. It's always been the same person as far as I know. He handles the cafe drinks alongside the register. There is wifi at the cafe and in my opinion, it works fast! The wifi is free. AMBIANCE: 7/10 I love the natural lighting that beams through the cafe. There is a variety of seating whether it is a two-table seater, wide table seating, window seating, etc. I wish there were more but it's not a small cafe either. PARKING: 5/10 Parking is very hit-or-miss. It is a mixture of meter-based/residential parking. I feel like Inner Richmond parking especially on California street is always hit or miss in general.

Super cute coffee shop. Low maintenance and nice people. Easy to work in and great prices, lots of space. I only works they had gluten free food options.
