I liked this cute coffee shop because it’s so calm and serene “mountain living” type of feel in the forest tundra type of California living place…feels wonderful to sit down in the outdoor sitting with the solid color awning umbrellas and the “basket woven material” chairs that remind me of Paris coffee shops. Parking was so pleasantly available and there wasn’t much city fuss, no crazy noise, no people trying to push their agendas just coffee, food, birds and cutesie mountain living….sigh

Breakfast there was a bit disappointing. Expensive for the quality and they serve the eat-it plates in plastic containers that look very unsustainable.

I need a quick lunch while being in town for work. The chicken salad sandwich was so delicious, as was the lovely hot leek and potato soup. Quick service and warm atmosphere.

Small neighborhood cafe with simple and tasty dishes. Popular with locals from the neighborhood.Vegetarian options: If you want something quick and good to eat, then this would be an ideal spot. The other fact is they close are only open from 8 to 3 so you either should call your order ahead before they close.

Plastic, plastic, plastic. Everything is single use plastic, including for eating in. Please change.

We came by during the Golden Streets bicycle and running event taking place in South Pas on Mission. The area was very busy with many bicyclists wanting to grab a bite to eat after the event. We ordered the pricey breakfast burrito and it was very good but the hot salsa lacked a spicy bite. It's a nice cafe with sidewalk area seating. I'm glad to see more small restaurants opening up in this area of Mission street.

Just devoured half of the Marketplace panini, and can confirm it's absolutely delicious. The chicken is roasty-tasting, juicy, and so flavorful. Reminds me of one of the best chicken sandwiches I had in Marseille. I balked at the sticker price but decided to give it a shot. It was 100% worth it! Grab one of these sandwiches, head to Garfield Park, and enjoy an easy afternoon.

Went with a friend for a light brunch. Coffee drinks & food choices were delicious - sidewalk table on a nice day - wow! A relaxing leisure experience.
I've been eating here for years, and the food has always been great. However as of late their menu has become even more expensive and the quality of portions seems off. I ordered a breakfast burrito recently and was surprised that since they changed their online ordering system, the burrito no longer has bacon included. You have to add bacon which is an additional $5.20 on top of the already $15 burrito. My fault for not selecting that I'll admit (I had take out and didn't realize until I got home) but all of the other ingredients in the burrito seem nearly missing. There was hardly any peppers and onions or cheese, and I think I had like two tater tots. I feel silly for complaining about this but I genuinely love this place, and since their price hikes I feel a lot less inclined to spend so much whilst getting so little. $40 bucks for two meatless weak breakfast burrito's and an OJ. Attached is a photo of my burrito which was essentially a block of scrambled eggs with a few small pieces of green pepper tossed in. YUM.

Very popular cafe with the locals but the menu is somewhat limited and pricey. Ordered a couple of time through ubereat and thought the food was just okay. Portions were reasonable. Sandwiches plus salads and chips - nothing out of the ordinary. But friendly service and a safe option for those who aren't adventurous eaters.

SHRINKFLATION ALERT - as popularized in the 80s TV commercial, I’m wondering WHERES THE BEEF or, today, the chicken in my marketplace salad. For $18, to receive a scant 5 small pieces of diced chicken is an abomination. The owner should be ashamed of herself for being so chincey. I used to enjoy walking here for lunch, sadly, no more.

Everything comes out in take-out containers. Staffs are so rude. Food is mediocre. It’s over-priced.Parking is convenient.Kid-friendliness: Bot kid friendly. They had 1 high chair.
