“We never miss a chance to dine here when we’re in San Fernando. Amazing meals, amazing staff <3“

“Nice cafe with a good selection of drinks and food right off the main thoroughfare. Upon walk in you are able to see a menu showcasing all of their drinks and food. They have acai bowls, a huge assortment of pastries, crepes, etc. everything has Brazilian flair which was cool. We ordered acai bowls which are big for their size and jam packed full of fresh fruit. Honestly, one of the best acai bowls I’ve had, presentation wise and taste wise. The coffees were also good, but nothing spectacular. The light pastry we ordered was very good and fluffy. You can see the assortment of pastries as you go through the check out, as it’s a bit like a school lunch line. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a trendy but quiet spot to have a good meal and a cup of coffee.“

“That Captain Crunch Burrito was so good we went twice in a row to get it.

Fantastic breakfast, everything looked extremely good as we had the please to sit with perfect views of the kitchen the second time.

The burrito was a delight and the hot sauce with it amazing. Great experience overall!“

“Peacock Pansy is a fantastic spot with a lovely atmosphere and excellent service. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and everything came together for a really enjoyable experience. The staff were welcoming and attentive throughout. Definitely a place I’d happily visit again—5 stars!“

“We ordered the Lunch Taco Bar for 20 and were so happy with everything. Delivery was on time and very efficient. Did not get name of man/chef that delivered but he was very nice and friendly. The food was DELICIOUS!!! There was something for everyone and all raved about the flavor and freshness!!! Superb!!!“

“This was the most comforting pad see ew I’ve had in a long time, right by Salesforce Tower.

It came with:

1. A generous amount of broccoli, so the noodles had adult supervision
2. Bok choy! Actual leafy greens voluntarily attending dinner
3. Plenty of tofu, because apparently we are meeting our protein goals now

I ordered noodles expecting comfort food and somehow received protein, vegetables, fiber, and emotional stability. If pad see ew has ever qualified as a balanced meal, this was it.“

“So pleased we stumbled across this amazing coffee shop / diner. Friendly staff and atmosphere.. Cosy restaurant serving a great range of food in a great location, but doesn’t feel touristy 👌☺️“

“I’ve been coming here for years. 30 Ordered my usual burrito I am so sad to say This is the third time this has happened And have heard others complain lately too But the portion of meat given to me was so hard and dry I couldn’t eat it The food was barely warm Not sure if cook had a bad day or what And the price just since I last ordered went up Another $3 I’m so disappointed I never see bad reviews But sorry amigos This was not good“

“Great breakfast and also brunch place to meet friends at.“

“I work in this neighborhood and have been going to Caffe Central for almost 10 years. I’m an espresso drinker and here they make exceptional espresso drinks and shots. While you are waiting you can see what everything looks like and it’s all delicious. I’m addicted to the salted caramel brownie which recently I’ve been very good about resisting. On the healthy side the salads are huge and well balanced with greens and toppings. I’m not a sandwich person but they look great. Among the staff are several people who have been there for years and I’ve met the owner a few times and he’s a gentleman. Anyway, I love this place and you willl too.“

“I went here over the weekend on a Saturday around 12:30pm and there was a good amount of people dining there at the time, but no wait. They have a bunch of large tables inside this restaurant and they sell a large variety of brunch and Asian fusion breakfast items!

Anyways, we got the Iced Butterfly Lychee Fizz, Thai Milk Tea, Vietnamese Dalgona Coffee, Orange Mimosa, Banana French Toast Combo, Spicy Bacon Benedict, Fried Chicken & Waffle, and the Bo Luc Lac. Out of the items we tried, the Iced Butterfly Lychee Fizz was my favorite drink because of how pretty and refreshing it was, while the Spicy Bacon Benedict was my favorite entree since it wasn’t too messy.

I’d recommend this place! I loved everything I tried that day and I like how large the portion sizes here are too!“

“I love this place. Reminds me of the cafes in El Paso tx. This is a Latino owned cafe. Food is always cooked fresh, made to order Large portions of food. I've been coming here for 3 years and the same line shaft the head guy is still cooking at the skillet. Excellent work.“

“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!“

“Had breakfast here Monday morning during my solo trip in SF. Cute little diner within walking distance to the Painted Ladies. Food was out within 5 minutes and was great.“

“buen Servicio.. buen café..“

“Good value. Nice, tasty, simple breakfast staples, which seemed hard to find in this area. We got four of the Bountiful Breakfasts, which has the options everyone in my family wanted. Very nice service. We just wanted a nice simple breakfast for the family on vacation, and we definitely found it!“

“This is a friendly neighborhood breakfast place, the food is good, the service is good, sometimes they are busy, but thanks for still maintaining tableside service instead of QR CODE, they are animal friendly and even provide water for the dogs, Kind and warm restaurant, will go back again“

“The service is fast and effective, and the food is delicious - as you can see from the long lines of people wanting to eat there. We are traveling from Norway and Louisiana, but always visit Honey Honey when we are in town 🌹🌹🌹“

“I be honest, I came this place only once but since that i am coming always they makes all food very delicious and very cheap, and you dont find that cheap like this place, they deserve to get lot of customers! And they start working from 5:30am so it is really good spot for stop by and get something for lunch, I recommend this place“

“Excellent breakfast spot on the main drag of Portola! The food: spot-on, we had classic fried eggs with their awesome finely chopped/crispy edge and pepper-laced hash browns, toast and a big, juicy beef patty. Yum!!! Washed down with super fresh and tasty OJ, squeezed right in front of us, and their coffee and hot chocolate are great too. Lovely space and friendly service, lots and lots of menu options to check out on next visit, and really enjoyed this local spot!!!“

“The horchata French toast and is sooo good. I also love the florentine Benedict is also amazing. Parked at the mission Bartlett garage.
Service and ambiance were also great. As much as I want to gate keep this place they deserve to blow up.“

“Omg i stopped by for the dinner let me just say ???? in my children voice we have a Benihana’s closer to home lol the fried chicken was all so good and the spaghetti with meatballs. Definitely going back for more.“

“We’ve worked with Ruru Kitchen on several large catering orders for our office, and they’ve been an absolute dream to work with. The team is responsive, organized, and always on time. They make the entire process incredibly easy - from helping us plan a thoughtful, delicious menu that accommodates all dietary needs, to setting everything up beautifully on the day. Our employees always rave about the food, they are a huge hit every time. The personal touches really shine through, and they always work with us to stay within our budget. I’m so grateful for their partnership and can’t wait to work with them again for our next event!“

“You’re here for the food, not experience, not customer service. This cha Chang teng is better than HK diners in actual Hong Kong. I grew up on this place and was incredibly disappointed when I visited HK thinking they’d be better. Baked pork chop or pork cutlet or minced beef rice. Don’t order anything else.“

“It’s a dive bar for food (and it’s glorious). Cheap, simple food.

Grab a donut, bagel, breakfast sandwich, or drip coffee. Cash or $5 card minimum.

I love these kinds of shops and I’ll do anything to support the hardworking people who save us from the posh spots that charge 3x as much just to sit next to an Edison bulb.“

“very good service and food. we will come back.“

“It’s a pretty cafe, with nice menu and great coffee drinks to offer. The bacon cheddar scramble is extremely tasty but the Arguello breakfast was just meh , i asked for a side of sausage they said yes, but when I tasted it it tasted like spam ! Salty and tasteless which I was disappointed with. It took
Quite a while for the food to arrive more than 20 minutes. My cold coffee was good. They serve freshly squeezed orange juice. Lot of baked goods as well .“
