Maybe the quality of this place was the excellent vermouth, beer, and wine selection. It could have just as easily been the intricate flavors of each new plate. Or it could have been the collection of books, the selection of films playing, the acts that rolled through or the themed evenings, parties, and live music. Each time I happened to visit, I was too enthralled with the warmth of the atmosphere, the charming hosts, and overall vibes of familiarity to take note of any of the minor details around the actual qualities of the place.

What a neighborhood gem! I stumbled upon this little cafe while looking for a place to study. I instantly fell in love. There were plenty of tables and outlets. The owners are super friendly and tend to make conversation with all their guests. Loud music was being played during my visit. They even have live performances from time to time. I suggest calling to confirm. The noise is nothing noise-cancellation headphones can't fix. I plan on becoming a frequent visitor here. In addition to coffee, they also serve wine, beer and food!

Most important, the people Cem and Cigdem are rays of sunshine. Full of love and humor. Always trying new drinks, foods and activities.

Love this place. One of the best cafes in the City. Wonderful owners and friendly patrons. Only wish their movies were more artsy macho but my needs are not everyone's. Vive le belly!

great selection of beers and wines. Staff was so friendly and give the best tips for selecting a drink. They occasionally have some live music that variates from electronic music to acoustic. Richmond neighborhood is lucky to have them

I used to love coming here with my friends to study because they have good coffee and the perfect ambiance to study, but recently they have been extremely unreliable with when they're open and not open. I would drive over expecting to spend a couple of hours studying, only to find out they're actually not open. Unfortunately this has happened enough times where I don't plan on coming back anymore.

Place has a really great vibe and atmosphere and friendly staff but I was here the other day and got a coffee and a sandwich and it cost me $20. I know this is SF but come on man. I'm not sure I can afford to visit this place again.

The place has a great vibe, the owners are always there and very friendly. The wines are always interesting and yummy, the tapas are well made. My favorite part about this place is how I feel welcomed as a friend even though I have only been there a few times.

One of my favorite neighborhood bars! Orson's Belly is a gem. They have tasty snacks, good drinks. They are a bit pricey, but I don't mind because the owners are so sweet and they support local music. The overall vibe is chill, artsy, and welcoming. Check out their calendar for bands.

Very friendly staff and a nice place to hang out. I don't drink, but it looks like they have a nice beer and wine selection.

Great atmosphere and dining. The wine selection is to die for! Not only are the options for choice available but custom selection for your choices are given as well. This place clearly caters to customers and their individual needs. Pricy but what do you expect from a place that answers questions before customers even think about them?

I loved going here. The place is so cozy and welcoming. They had an awesome selection of drinks and the great bartenders could customize based on my preferences. I especially loved sampling some of their vermouths.
