“Hands down THE best croissant in San Francisco. But they have so much more than that. Pates, quiches, desserts - and they all look so Parisian. Walking in is an exercise in self control. But the good news is, if you do cave in, it’s worth it!“
“This place is the bomb. They know how to make the desserts and they’re not afraid to showcase that! I’ve tried the pistachio eclair and it was so unbelievably good. I am very happy. I still remember how good that was so if you are in mood of craving desserts or you need to impress your guest this is the place ! The balance on sweetness tartness is just perfect. I loved it. Can’t wait to be back.!“
“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.“
“Absolutely a hidden gem! I got a chileajo tamale and a Oaxacan hot chocolate. The tamale came with a sauce that was smoky, a little spicy, and the perfect compliment to the tamale. And it was only $6! Hot chocolate was also delicious and made by hand at our table. So happy to have found this place and would recommend to anyone visiting the Mission.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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!“
“It’s not the best coffee in North Beach, but it’s hands down the best atmosphere for chilling or working. Iced coffee could be larger for the price tbh. The matcha isn’t good but their black drip coffee gets me buzzing.Also I wish they stayed open till 5 so I could finish out my day here!“
“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.“
“Absolutely adorable place!! Seating is mostly all outdoors but that's the best part of it! So much greenery and cute plants! Food is also tasty, and service is fast even on a Sunday morning. I think it'll become one of my fav go to spots. Just can't beat the vibes!“
“The food tastes amazing and the delivery driver was punctual although having said that, wax paper would keep the cheese from ripping up patches of cardboard after it slightly cools in transit and the butter for the pancakes was off to the corner mostly absorbed into the container and started to revert back to a solid.it would have been more efficient to package it in a sauce cup.the whole bottom layer of eggs ended up being inedible and the 7.50 delivery charge made the drivers tip uneconomical on a $20 dollar order.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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) $7. It was tasty! It hit the spot and I was ready for work again. Take-out service was excellent.“
“My team ordered catering from Hungry Cafe and everyone raved about the food! Mo was super responsive to our outreach and he and his colleague Ryan went above and beyond to ensure our group had a great experience. The Southeast Community Center is also a beautiful space filled with awesome local nonprofit organizations and other community-oriented people. 10/10 would recommend!“
“Belly is pretty lean with not much fat in terms of extras to entice. But what they serve, they do well. It has a young start up vibe with good precious offerings, a limited interesting menu for a bakery that also does lunch. It’s pretty much outdoor seating only sans the shade and expect a line. We are told by the counter staff it takes eight minutes to heat the savory mushroom pie or corn pastry with an egg inside. Everything was tasty.Personally I prefer muffins containing an egg to be soft boiled rather than hard, such as the morning muffin at Post Script on Jackson street which can’t compare to anything else. It was a fun place to try and I brought a couple of cookies home to try. The matcha latte was excellent, sweetened with brown sugar. I like that they use good ingredients on their spare cuisine. I do think they might expand the menu a tad.“
“Came for a Too Good to Go. Paid 7$ 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“
“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.“
“What a beautiful coffee shop! Lots of outdoor seating too. I loved that this was just a few steps from our airbnb when we visited SF. they have lots of options and everything was delicious. I love a chai latte so of course I ordered the ginger and turmeric chai. Wow!! So flavorful and so delicious. Spicy!! My hubby got the vanilla latte and their vanilla was wild! Sooo good. Better than any vanilla latte I've ever had. Great spot to check out!“
“There's always a line!I visited the store just after peak hours, but it was always crowded.There were also sandwiches, Danish pies, croissants, cakes, and tarts.The bread we ordered was very delicious.Desserts also seem to be popular, so I'd like to try their popular desserts next time.The croissant was crispy and very tasty.There was also space to eat inside.The taste, location, atmosphere, everything is great.“
“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“
“They have great bread. And the croissants, unbeatable, accompanied by an excellent coffee with milk (latte). At the bar is Héctor, a very nice guy from Navarra (Spain). And there is another very friendly Belgian girl who gives you conversation if there is no queue.“
“Attention Chocoholics! When you're in San Francisco ----- This is the real deal! Recently visited the Ferry building in San Francisco and found this gem of an artisan small batch chocolate company. Three letters. OMG. The staff were super friendly. It was a cute small unassuming open store front with a little area to order grab-n-go style. The storefront was very clean, tidy and premium products were nicely and orderly displayed. The menu felt well thought out and artisan. It was a cool brisk overcast day and their hot chocolate was an absolute choclatey creamy treat! It oozed quality and premium ingredients. A true taste bud experience for people who can appreciate the "real-deal" of artisan hot chocolate and love chocolate in general. It was so good, I had to go back a second day and order the drinking chocolate, which was quite rich, but a true decadent slow sipping experience packed with silky deep flavor. The other treats looked really tempting as well! This is definitely forever on my go-to list when visiting San Francisco. I highly recommend. You can visit their website as well and sign up for a tour of their chocolate making facility. It looks like an awesome experience too!“
“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.“
“A cute Russian bakery cum coffee shop in Richmond district. I tried their veg Piroshki and it was delicious. The coffee was also great and I’ll definitely be back for other flavors. Great option if you are interested in exploring some Russian delicacies.“
“I hadn't been back at this place since the night we watched the fireworks for the Golden Gate Bridge's 75th anniversary ( many years ago, maybe 10). The man by the door was friendly and greeted us. But the bartender was not very friendly and frankly seemed like he would prefer for us to leave. We got an Irish Coffee for the old times to share. It was still great! Drank it quickly, paid and got out of there. Although still a good drink, I rather be somewhere where the staff are a bit more pleasant.“
“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.“
“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.“
“LOVE LOVE LOVE this gem! I drove twice in the past week to OBF for food and NA drinks. They have Athletic Run Wild IPA on draft! The staff is friendly and generally very happy to have you there and be a part of their day. The food is DELISH! Breakfast, lunch, coffee, refreshing NA drink to enjoy outside or inside. It is worth the drive for me to not be laughed at when I try to order an NA beverage and have a tons of options.“
“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.“
“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.“
“A bite of Paris in the heart of Downtown SF. Breads are fresh, meats are plenty, and the love in the preparation of the food is felt at each table. The menu was as joy to browse over to see what I will come back to get next. Thank you Chef Michael for the wonderful meal!“
“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 :)“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Very tasty! Breakfast with grab and go option. The place is quite small, so there is not much space to eat in the establishment. The food is good, cheap and comes out quickly! We grabbed a bagel, a blueberry muffin, a cappuccino and a hot chocolate and went to eat at Union “
“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. ?“
“Ordered the Shake your bahn bah sandwich which comes with a mixed salad, was well made and delicious. Bread was toasted beautifully!Also ordered the shrimp po-boy wrap, which also came with a mixed salad. Wrap was ok, should've substituted the wrap for bread as in the banh banh, would have been much tastier. The salad was great, really liked the house dressing.“
“I came to b. on the go for the first time for a late lunch. You order at the counter and there are a couple of tables inside for seating. I got the porchetta sandwich and my boyfriend ordered the cauliflower banh mi and a side salad. The food came out pretty quickly but it wasn't too busy inside. The porchetta sandwich came with thinly sliced pieces of porchetta, chicharrónes, arugula, and a pesto sauce on ciabatta bread. The porchetta was seasoned well, and the generous portion of delicious and fatty slices of pork was definitely the star of the sandwich. The small, crushed up pieces of chicharrónes added a great textural contrast to the fatty and tender pork. The bread was also fresh and had a great chew without being too hard. Overall, I was happy with my sandwich and I felt like the cost was reasonable. My boyfriend wasn't really a fan of the cauliflower banh mi, he felt that it needed more sauce since the cauliflower was pretty bland. I'd come back here in a pinch and I'd definitely try other items on the menu.“
“Picked up a bacon breakfast burrito, nice size, not greasy at all. Looks like it comes with cheese, tomato, and whatever meat you choose. Iced latte was great too, not very sweet which is how I like it but if u do like it sweet I’m sure u can request that or add sugar yourself.Parking: There’s some free parking on one street and I believe on third it is paid parking. I got in at 8 am and parking was free where I parked.“
“Great little spot with genuinely great food. The service was spot on and you just know there is a lot of care and pride that goes into every dish. We had the beef birria plate and the calabazas a la Mexicana plate and they were both delicious.“
“Been vacationing in the Marina area for years now, and just barely discovered this place. Was here for a girl’s weekend and a friend found this place on Yelp. We came after lunch at about 1pm and it was quiet. Most had their laptops and were doing work. My friend and I were at the bar jibber jabbering.Steven was the bartender and not only was he a great mixologist, but he had really good recommendations. This is one of those kinds of places where you want to try their specialty drinks. Don’t do your usual stuff. I am picky and only like drinks served up so Steven asked me a few questions before making a recommendation. We had three drinks each, a cookie and beef jerky before leaving.Parking is easy and there’s plenty. Park, use the machine and grab your receipt. FYI, parking machine says to add your cell so they can forewarn you 15 minutes before your time ends; that DOES NOT WORK. Make sure you keep an eye on the time which we did.Awesome new spot (for me) and will be back!“
“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.“
