I’ve recently been really into Vietnamese coffee and saw this place online and wanted to try it. The service here is disappointing and my Vietnamese coffee tasted more like a watered down americano with a little bit of sugar. I initially walked into this cafe which had maybe like 6 people already situated with their food/drinks and were sitting down. I said good morning to the staff, and in return, I was stared at until she continued to make coffees; she didn’t say anything to me. Stood at the register without being acknowledged for several minutes, mind you, the woman making coffees was 2-3 ft away at this point, kinda awkward. No one ordered after me. When she called my order for 2 Vietnamese coffees, I approached the counter and she asked how she can help… as if i wasn’t the last customer who’s order she took, and just called out saying it was ready. Most likely would not return. The vibes are very off here.

Best mocha I’ve had in town so far and the breakfast sandwich is fantastic. I’ve been here three times now and it’s perfect every time. I don’t understand why this place is empty while a block away st franks has a line out the door.

We came for breakfast but we saw the bahn-mi and couldn’t stop ourselves. It was so delicious! Fresh bread and such a great and tender lemon grass chicken with great vegetables and seasoning, we are so happy we chose it. Would definitely recommend this one 🙌🏼❤️

I come here for their house made chai. No sugar added. It’s so good and I can choose what dairy alternative. It’s a rare find to get house made unsweetened. Thank you!!

The place is close to Francisco Bay Inn, with a bus stop nearby, so the location is pretty convenient. The food was mediocre (we had bagels). The chai latte was either badly made or just tastes like spicy foamy water…either way, it was undrinkable. The place has potential, but some more effort is necessary.

Great place, the food is delicious and the drinks even better !! We had a quiche Lorraine, salmon toast and Java coffee, Amish Palmer.

Friendly and contemporary looking little cafe with coffee drinks, bagel sandwiches, banh mi, avocado toast, salads, and pastries. We tried the banh mi and a bagel with lox and enjoyed them. Would come again.

New favorite cafe? I've been meaning to come here for a while and I'm glad I finally did. On a foggy SF morning I was warmly welcomed into the unassuming cafe, where there was no line and the polite cashier waited while I contemplated my order. As a vegan, I was very happy to see soy milk as an option for my drink and tofu for the banh mi. Just make sure to ask if there's aioli on the sandwich when ordering! Both were delicious, Contraband beans for my decaf latte and more of a tofu skin than regular tofu for my sandwich (pleasant surprise!). The price was very reasonable for Polk St. I wish I lived closer because Fueling Station is an absolute gem.

Came in around noon on a Saturday and was like one of 4 people in the place. They managed to lose my food order? They curiously stared at me for 20 minutes after I sat down and then eventually served me a cold breakfast sandwich that had clearly been sitting
Fantastic pork Banh Mi sandwiches! Try out the Chaga

The food options are all worthwhile, though, my personal favorite may be the oatmeal.

Their matcha drink is phenomenal. Too bad the lady barista seemed unwelcoming and unfriendly. Would not go back.

Cute spot
Chaga Matcha. Mushroom and matcha
Really tasty, earthy, for large
No fancy top designs on foam 8>(
Bagel and PB
Toasted with crunchy peanut butter. Just enough for a decent bagel.
No vegan pastries left
Reasonable vegan options, maybe try in future trips
