9 Best Cafes in South San Francisco

“I’m a huge fan of dirty chai lattes and I’m always searching for who has the best. The dirty chai at Antigua is definitely near the top of the list for me. Not too sweet and not too spicy which is the way I like them. Will def be back for the chai. Pastries were also delicious. Haven’t tried the food yet but looks like it would be amazing.“

“Came in around 3pm on a Wednesday- it’s a bit hidden so drive carefully! The parking lot is right before the car wash and has plenty of parking.

We ordered the Pistachio mousse cake and the creme brûlée bar- both were delicious but the pistachio was the winner! Highly recommend the cinnamon brown sugar latte with almond milk, just sweet enough but not overwhelming. There are restrooms and hand wash station outside of them. Would return for another chat and cafecito kind of day. I brought my mom, who’s an avid (picky) coffee lover and she enjoyed the taste of her decaf latte 🙂“

“Banana Foster French toast and their freshly squeezed orange juice.“

“The service was excellent. The waitress, Lulu was very attentive to our needs. On top of that the food was great. I had an Esmeralda which is a spicy dish with three scrambled eggs, cream cheese, jalapeños, and avocado inside a flour tortilla topped with green sauce.“

“This place is one of the best breakfast spots in town. The service is excellent, and the food is delicious. The place feels like home, and the French toast is particularly good. Overall, the food is great, and I would give it a solid 5 stars.“

“They are truly unique and offer some of the most authentic food in the Bay Area. Every bite feels like a taste of home, rich in flavor, care, and tradition.

The quality is exceptional, and the price is more than fair for what they deliver.“

“I've been staying and working in South San Francisco this week without a car. Have dined there for lunch 2 days in a row now, and both days I also brought back dinner to my hotel for the evening. Everything has been delicious with fresh ingredients. Really creative and elevated offerings for a quick service restaurant. The salmon was especially amazing! I had 2 really dismal experiences earlier in the week with Doordash and only wish I had tried Foundry & Lux sooner. I'll be back tomorrow before heading back home on Saturday 😀“

“Had a wide selection of different things for anyone's palate. The people behind the counter were lovely. The food was fresh and wrapped so well it stayed warm even after waiting for the shuttle for almost forty minutes. The man behind the counter was so welcoming and helped me find my way to the shuttle stop when I was beyond lost. Overall 100/10 service. If I ever come back to South San Francisco this will be on my list of stops.“

“Great place to have lunch. I especially like to order the Curry chicken. It is the best in town! Try it and you won't be disappointed!“
