Ordered ice coffee at premium price point expecting a great taste on a hot sf day. Instead I was shocked when I saw how the barista made the ice coffee, 75% tap water from the water faucet and 25% ice coffee.

Views = awesome BUT! Customer service = snobby, we hadn't been there before and when i would ask how their drinks work and how to order they were rolling their eyes and giving very short answers. (in the way that you know they are obviously annoyed) Food = mid and WAYYY over priced, the food sits in the case all day so most of it is stale even when warmed up after you order. Another note, I went there around "brunch" time and was super excited to try their espresso martinis, and was told they don't serve cocktails till 3pm. Then continued to sell us alcohol from the fridge and prep it into a cup with ice for me... couldn't have one of the 30 employees make cocktails tho. I think the owner needs to sort out rules/priorities.

Breakfast sandwich and an Americano to sit and enjoy the Tunnel Top park overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. What more could you ask for? The food was decent quality and on par with what I would expect from a cafe. Anyone who complains about the price probably hasn't eaten out in the area recently and if you gave less than 5 stars for the atmosphere I don't know what to tell you!If you really feel "tourist trapped" then take your "overpriced" food and set yourself free because you are in tourist central so embrace it and walk along the Marina or to the beach or the bridge or through the many miles of Presidio trails or maybe down through Giradelli Square, Fisherman's Ward, Pier 39 to the Embarcadero and take a ferry to the very literal trap named Alcatraz. Hopefully that will help you get over your regret that the piece of pizza you had in a beautiful little park with a view of an iconic landmark was a bit expensive not perfect.

I highly recommend this place even for just a glass of wine or to do some work. Yes, the pizza is expensive but for the views of Golden Gate Bridge it's worth it. Also, the service is incredibly good. My friend and I wanted to share a piece but since they were closing soon, they warmed up two pieces for us! Overall, definitely check it out.

good food, nicely displayed. beautiful view. cafeteria style ordering and paying procedures need revision. the staff is poorly trained and/or unaware of their specific duties. some looking around doing nothing. at least 4 behind-the-counter-folks watching this afternoon while one person waited on many people in a long line. then the male cashier walked away with no comment while we were standing in front of him to pay. later we purchased desserts and we were given a number on a stick for our table for our hot drinks to be delivered. turns out the staff expected us to come pick up up the order after we were seated. the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. ? if we have to stand in line to order and then wait a second time and possibly stand in line to pay -- a more efficient crew is needed. numerous cafes and a full service bar and restaurant have failed at this spot over the years.

Delicious food. I had the salmon toast and it was wonderful. I love that I could safely have my bike within the glass enclosure. My new favorite spot when cycling.Parking: Great for bike parking

Amazing Focaccia and dessert breads! The staff was so friendly and even gifted us an extra slice of the bread on the house. Would definitely recommend this place + the view is astonishing!

Decided to try this place out after seeing posts about it online. While the food was fairly good and the staff were friendly enough, it was definitely overpriced for what you get. If you’re in the area it’s worth stopping by to try once, but otherwise I probably wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to come here.
This spot has a great location. The outside view from the seating is gorgeous, but I thought the food wasn't special. They have a lot to offer tho, from sandwiches, pizza, baked good, wine and snacks. I went in on a Saturday later afternoon and we waited in line for maybe 10-15 mins, but it moved fast. My friend and I ordered 3 pizzas (pep, pistachio pesto mortadella and mushroom), a gluten free cookie, almond lemon bar cake and a muffin. The pepperoni was good, i liked the crust, it wasn't dense and had a nice taste. I liked the Pistachio & Pesto Mortadella pizza. The baked goods were disappointing. The gluten free cookie was really hard, I've never had a lemon cake I didn't like the one here was pretty boring in flavor. I heard a lot of mixed reviews so I was already skeptical going in but I wanted to give it a fair shot. I don't think this spot is really worth trying and I don't think I would come back, but if you're in the area and need a snack, then try it out.

Let's be real you're here for the views. They are top notch. Food is fine, enjoyed the pepperoni because we were hungry. It's a focaccia style so the slice is pretty bready

Saw so much buzz about Il Parco and was dying to try it! The good - I loved my focaccia. Could it have been warmer and cheaper, yes, but I enjoyed it. My friend was underwhelmed - maybe I get too excited about bread... Ordered plain focaccia followed by their margherita and mushroom "pizza" (making this distinction because when I called them all focaccia I seemed to confuse staff). Also ordered some sweet baked goods and a latte. No complaints there. The bad - I will say, the staff I dealt with at check out didn't have the best customer service. I've worked in high touristy areas so I get the fatigue, but this was early in the day and his lack of attention / care definitely made the process tedious for me too . There also seemed to be confusion about my order due to him not communicating with other staff which caused delays. It wasn't a deal breaker for me, but seemed like someone more attentive should be stationed at the cashier. I'll give them another chance, but definitely not as amazing as some influencers would have you believe . Maybe they'll work out these hiccups in the weeks to come!

The pizza looks a lot more substantial and flavorful than it actually is. This slice was extremely light, was cold after the 90 second walk to a table, and bread had no flavor.$9 but you'd need to eat at least two of them to not be hungry after.
