This café with indoor and outdoor seats is worth the short stroll from Haight. Great sandwich variety for $9.75. Flavorful coffee. Friendly service.

Staff is really sweet and I love the ambiance. It’s a cute little cafe!
Ordered an almond latte but it was undrinkable. My friend ordered a latte and there was definitely something off with the milk. Overall gross lattes.

Had 2 lattes, both burnt milk and tough to return back. Would not recommend for good coffee.

If you do just do iced or black

I work on the same block and often try to go well out of my way to avoid this place. This morning I only had a couple of minutes so I popped in for a black iced coffee. It was undrinkably bad. Literally could only take a sip, make a face and set it down. Perhaps they don’t clean their brewing pots regularly? Or let the beans mold? It was disgusting. Barista was nice, I still tipped via Venmo, but I won’t keep putting myself through that. Ugh!

Really good bacon egg and cheese

Best bagel sandwich in the city - specifically the egg, cheddar, & spinach on asiago. Service is friendly and prompt, atmosphere is casual and relaxed. Favorite quick brekkie spot!

I am a brown presenting person and I came here with my friend (who is white) and the person working was insinuating that I didn't pay for my food and drink. however, with my friend, the person didn't ask for any confirmation whatsoever. extremely unwelcoming toward people of color.

Had a turkey bacon club sandwich and it was delicious. Only bummer is it’s cash/venmo/Zelle only.

I love the egg cheese ham bagel here, also turkey swiss sandwich so nice!
Strongly recommend the avocado smoothie.

Lovely casual spot for coffee and food, $12 for a breakfast sandwich and coffee, this is rare in SF! Good selection of black coffee roasts.

Hesds up only takes cash, zelle, or venmo.
