Good little pit stop to pick up some snacks and caffeine. A nice little outdoor area, good for dog watching and close to Duboce Park.

A cafe which is overpriced and lacks enough staff at the front to serve well and timely the drinks. It has a very nice and lively outdoors seating area but is very, very shadowy, humid, cold, and often windy. On the other hand, I appreciate very much that it is open from 7:30am to 7:30pm.

PSA: No Wifi on the weekends!
The hibiscus herbal tea I had here was alright. Service was friendly. It’s a good place to work/study, with ample tables inside & out but no wifi on weekends. There’s some good food options if you’d like. Bathroom available.

Everything is nice, but the prices for simple things (tea, coffee) are just outrageous. I am surprised that I am paying Regent street prices on this little cafe on the corner of nowhere. It’s a good place for a meeting or a catch up, and I will keep coming back because there are really no other options

I came here to get work done on a weekend and found out WiFi isn’t available on weekend. There are no outlets either. It’s a cool environment with plenty of space but Not ideal for working. The coffee was decent.

Their matcha is shit- they charge people $6 for a matcha mixed with sugar. I can’t have any added sugar and wasn’t made aware before trying it.

This place is a neighborhood staple for me. The food is great and coffee is solid (and I have a high bar).

The only issue is it can be hard to find seating during peak hours. There lots of people on laptops with long-finished beverages. I end up having to do takeout about half the time. I think it would be nice if they limited laptop usage - especially on the weekends.

The food here was surprisingly bad. Avocado on salad was browned. Pasta was also bland. Even the cookie was disappointing. However the environment is lovely with outdoor seating. Inside can be a bit dark but I can see it being a good place to catch up. Service is in-inviting as many chains can be.

I asked for a ristretto. Anybody who read even a barista book, knows that it’s an espresso that’s stopped earlier for the sour taste before the coffee turns bitter. All 3 employees gathered around and never heard about it, not knowing how to do it. When I told them that they just have to pull my cup away earlier, they said they’re not trained to do this. When I told them that I just trained them, they repeated that they aren’t allowed and not trained for this. Please hire a really barista.

Good coffee and pastries! Only downside is no chargers if you plan to work there.

One of Cafe Réveille’s many great outposts in San Francisco! All of the city’s Cafe Réveilles consistently impresses me with their great coffee, tasty food (including lots of vegetarian and gluten-free options), and top tier vibes, and this location is no exception. One of my friends is gluten-free, so this is one of our go-to locations for weekend coffee, but it’s also a great place for a casual lunch or mid-workday coffee / remote work. The coffee is great — not overly acidic, not overly nutty, but still quite flavorful and rich — and they have some fantastic latte art. The staff is super friendly, and the space is lovely. It does get pretty crowded so it can be hard to find a spot to sit inside, but they do have a pretty large outdoor section too. The wifi doesn’t quite reach the edges of the outdoor area, but you should be fine at one of the tables next to the cafe.
