1 star to post a review at this time to be able to write.. I am hoping to make it a 5 star in the future. I drove up from the peninsula this morning only to park and see a sign that the storefront is closed. Please try to update your Google maps hours. Disappointed I am unable to try this place.

Maddie gave great suggestions and was kind and patient. First time here and certainly won’t be the last!

The Cuban mind has a difficult time paying $2.50 for a croqueta, BUT, they're worth the price.

The best Cuban café in the Bay Area!
Finally—San Francisco has a place that captures the authentic taste of Cuban food. The Cuban sandwich is perfect: pressed flat with crispy bread (not burned!), and every bite has meat—exactly the way it should be. The picadillo pastry is spot-on, and the croquetas are perfect.
For years, Paladar was my go-to Cuban restaurant, and I still miss the chefs Rita and Vicki. But now, thanks to Terry and Ruben, I feel like my Cuban roots have a home again. I’ve met them both, and every time I stop by and speak in my Cuban language, I feel transported—like I’m back with friends and family.
San Francisco finally has Cuban food done right. Thank you, Social Cafe—you’ve brought back something we’ve all been missing. Come eat here—you won’t be disappointed!

This is a takeout joint. The only seats are outside in the beating sun. I had to take my dry sandwich elsewhere to eat. There’s not much around the location so I was happy to see a 5 star option. Someone mentioned good prices in the reviews. $20 for a tiny coffee and a subpar Cuban sandwich is not a deal. The staff barely spoke to me. Sorry…I wanted to like this place but was disappointed I stopped here.
I live about 2 blocks away from here and it's quick, high quality, and affordable. Terry's always super nice and the croquettes are a must. (Just wish there was more seats)
If there's local food I'd feel homesick about, it'd be from here.

Fantastic spot! The food is delicious, and the service is quick and genuinely friendly—even when you’re in a rush. Dog-friendly, too: the staff adore Nina, and she’s always excited to visit.

I’m from Miami and this is, hands down, the best Cuban sandwich I’ve ever had! The ham croqueta and cortadito were also absolutely incredible—so delicious! Everything was very fresh, and everyone was very friendly! Definitely highly recommend and will be coming back soon!
Friendly service and delicious flaky treats what more could you want? Coffee? Well they have that too.

The best pastelitos I've ever had, they are almost like an empanada but not as heavy in pastry. I tried a variety of sweet and savory pastelitos, all very tasty. Will be going back!

Stopped by here while on jury duty and would now go out of my way to come back. Fresh made pastries that are delicious and very reasonably priced.
