EXACTLY what I was looking for for breakfast! Feta, spinach, and mushroom omelet, with a fresh made blueberry scone. All were delicious! Husband had a chicken apple sausage breakfast pita with a piece of baklava, and it was all fantastic too. Service was great. Would absolutely eat here again!

Cafe Elena is an overlooked Mediterranean gem amidst a dormant downtown lunch scene. The spicy chicken shawarma sandwich is an absolute delight! Come venture inside One Market plaza for no lines and delicious food prepared with care by this lovely couple who have been thriving in this location for over 30 years!

Ordered Chicken Shawarma, wasn’t as per the rating. Wasn’t grilled chicken, boiled chicken added, the shawarma went soggy due to the water. Wasn’t worth the price. No side sauces provided. I guess I made it much better at home. Regretting the purchase.

it’s a disgrace to mediterranean food. the falafel was so hard and not fresh. the server used her bare hands to put the falafel in with no gloves on. taste is mid, not sure how they have a 4.7 rating. waste of money

Great food off the beat cafeteria style area was clean and they were very nice people
Beautifully ran family business. 20+ years in SF. If you come in the spring/summer you MUST get the watermelon juice. Extremely hydrating.

I feel like I was over charged for an omelette with spinach mushrooms and sausage, with a side of rice and blended fruit drink for $28.00. Really, everything tasted ok. Nothing to write home about. I probably will not eat there again because of the over pricing.

I’d been trying to find a place that sold Dubai chocolate bars in San Francisco and finally found it at Cafe Elena! Their Dubai chocolate bar is awesome! Dark chocolate, pistachio filling, not too sweet. Family-owned business, wife makes the chocolate bars, super friendly owner.
