Bread was dry and gross. Coffee is from a machine. I won’t come back.

Nice spot you can sit have a drink and snacks and walk around.

I tried their mushroom focaccia pizza. It was kind of hard and just not very tasty. I hope they’re not using some nasty oil when making it they should be using olive oil…….. people at El Paco. Please let me know.

Came in for Oktoberfest on a Thursday and the vibe was lively with a dj, plenty of colorfully decorated tables, no wait at food counter, food came fast and hot and tasty! Only reason they didn't get (5) stars is because I ordered a pretzel for the festival occasion, asked if it came with a sauce, was told mustard. Delivered to table plain, so I had to ask for it and wait for that, after she said let me check on that. Other than that, great atmosphere, phenomenal views and friendly staff! 😊

Situated was incredible views of the Golden Gate and the whole bay, this is a café environment that goes way beyond that. The food is really good. The people are exceptionally friendly and I don’t understand why it is rated at three stars cause we love it and we think it’s great and we’re locals.

Ordered the Classic Pandino sandwich and Pepperoni Pizza , and I’m going to be honest —- I didn’t have the highest expectations. The sandwich was made fresh and wow, it was deliciously perfect and hit the spot during as a late afternoon snack on a sunny but windy autumn. Foccacia pizza’s bread was crispy and the perfect density —- my kids didn’t finish it so I did!
Great views and plenty of options.

Great place. They sell a tasty focaccia pizza as well as sourdough bread sandwiches plus some really delicious baked goods. If you’re in the Presidio, it’s a great place to take a break from everything. Great views!

Pretty mediocre.
The pizza and sandwiches are alright, but the pasteries have gotten worse recently. All of them are now dry and stale when they used to be typical coffee shop quality.

The reason the ratings are so low for this place is that the food is mediocre at best and the prices are sky high. It’s a shame because it’s a great location with nice outdoor seating but it’s an opportunity wasted for profit.. Slice of very average focaccia will cost you $15. Lasagna is $18, Farro salad is $19, I mean these prices are crazy. . Lots of bakery items but they’re made in an industrial bakery. Very average. Bring your own food and sit at a nice table here. They don’t even provide water. Well, they sort of do. They have the circular triangular cups, but they don’t provide holders so you have to just drink it at the water stand. Is selling the water that important. I mean, the presidio makes a fortune every year and everyone knows it..

I’m not sure why the rating on this place is so low. The coffee is great. It’s got beautiful seating with glass that blocks out the wind and there’s heaters for a cold day. The service was prompt and though I haven’t tried the food yet. It looks delicious.The food is reasonable priced. Muffins are about five bucks. Pizza is between 10 and $15 and sandwiches are $20. It’s not cheap but it’s not crazy expensive either
All vibes, no substance. Go to the main pavilion with the food trucks instead.
How do you have an Italian cafe that doesn’t have an espresso machine??!?!! All espresso drinks are made by clicking a screen you’d find at the kitchen inside a 2013 office building.
Pastries are mostly dry and stale too, as if they had been shipped there several days prior.

The only saving grace for this place is the view. That is great.
However the service was not, nor was the food. This is a fastfood cafe and it did not meet that expectation.
Due to the confusing way they operate and incorrectly shout everyone's order to the eating area, it was difficult to find my meal. Our coffee sat on the counter for over 5 minutes with the incorrect number on them. Just long enough to get cold. You will recieve a table number stand, but you are expected to go get your items at the counter on your own. There is no communication about this process. There was a huge crowd around the counter during my visit.
The food was semi warmed, assuming in a microwave, and edible.
All of this for a very costly $55. I think this to be over priced for the quality and service.
I was not happy with this restaurant. Good luck.

Cute cafe by the Presidio Tunnel Tops with an amazing view of the Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. Lots of outdoor seating, but it can be chilly and windy. Wide selection of food and drinks, including fresh made smoothies. Nice spot for a date or to meet up with friends.

The food was very expensive for the quality. We ordered spaghetti and meatballs ($16)and the meatballs were undercooked.We also ordered the chicken milanesa sandwich($16) and it seemed as if it was microwaved.Overall it wasn’t worth the price.
