Higher Grounds Coffee House

It’s impressive how one elderly man was managing everything on his own—kudos to him for being so energetic at his age!

This is a charming, cozy spot with plenty of crepe options. I tried the "Borgia Coffee," which had a delightful flavor, though it was a bit on the sweeter side.

The "Curry Crepe" was a unique find—I haven’t seen it offered anywhere else! The flavor was fantastic, but there was a bit of a potato overload, with both the filling and sides consisting primarily of potatoes. Perhaps swapping out the sides for something different would create a better balance.

The Best! The crepes are MASSIVE.

We enjoyed a wonderful meal at lunchtime on the SF Crosstown trail. The omelettes are delicious and come with a fresh green salad and a generous serving of potatoes. Our friends had the very tasty crepes. We loved the atmosphere, the service was excellent and the owner made us feel welcome. He is amazing!

Been coming here often for this past month and I love it. Everything is done by just one man and I honestly don’t know how he does it. He is so busy but gets everything done fast, calmly, and effective. Nice neighborhood café
