Great Treehouse Ambiance and Fresh OJ
I love coming here whenever I'm staying near the convention center. The fresh squeezed orange juice is the best, and the food is delicious for both breakfast and lunch. The ambience is really cool, making you feel like you're in a treehouse. Even during a busy lunch with a big conference, we managed to get our food and finish within an hour, which was worth the wait if you have the time. They offer great salads, sandwiches, and breakfast options.

Polite Staff, Fresh Food, Great Ambiance!
My first time here, and it was conveniently located within walking distance from my hotel, The Herbert. The entire staff was incredibly polite and helpful. I absolutely loved the ambiance, and the food was so fresh. I’ll definitely be back! 🥹

Delicious Pork Ribs and Amazing Desserts
I ordered the pork ribs with sweet potato and coleslaw. They were delicious. The coffee and chocolate chip cookies with a salty touch were spectacular. The service was excellent (5/5) and the atmosphere was also great (5/5). It's a quiet place, easy to talk, and wheelchair accessible on the ground floor. They accept children, and reservations are not required. Parking is available in a paid garage, but it can be difficult to find a space.

Classic American Breakfast with a Greasy Touch
My experience at The Grove involved ordering the THE GROVE EGGS BENEDICT and THE GROVE FRENCH TOAST. This classic American breakfast was very heavy and slightly greasy. However, the staff were helpful.

Good Location, Average Food
My experience at this rather standard coffee place was defined by its great location and reasonable coffee. While light food is offered, I found it to be somewhat overestimated. The atmosphere was rated a 4, and the service a 3, with food also receiving a 3. It's a quiet place, easy to talk, and has street-level access for wheelchair accessibility. However, parking is unavailable and difficult to find. It's suitable for breakfast and can accommodate a group of 1 person.

Great Coffee and Egg Sandwiches
I visit this restaurant every year during Dreamforce with my team. The coffee is strong, and they offer gluten-free breads which are used to make an awesome egg sandwich. The food quality is excellent, and the gluten-free options are a definite plus.

Overpriced Breakfast, Decent Food
My experience at Grove was decent in terms of food and the overall experience, but the price was a major issue. I ordered a breakfast burrito and an unsweetened iced tea for takeout, and was charged $36. This is $10 more than similar combos from nearby competitors, which I found absolutely ridiculous. I visit San Francisco quite often and I won't be returning to Grove unless the prices are reduced.

Good food, but try something else
My experience at this restaurant was that the food was good, but nothing special. I’d suggest trying something else a little more exciting.

Cold Food, Friendly Service
I recently had breakfast here and while the people working were very friendly and the service was quick, the food was unfortunately cold. I ordered freshly made eggs Benedict with hash browns, but when they arrived, the eggs were barely warm and the hash browns were cold. Everything looked good, but the temperature was a major issue. I didn't send it back because I had limited time during my lunch break. It was frustrating to pay thirty dollars for a cold meal that likely would have been enjoyable if it were hot. Additionally, there were flying insects inside, which was a significant negative. This place has potential, but they've lost me as a customer.

Rude staff, kicked out of table
My experience at this restaurant was extremely negative due to the rude staff, including the manager. After waiting in line for 20 minutes, I picked up our food and secured a table for four, as I was waiting for three more people to join me. To my disbelief, they kicked me out of the table. It was an unreal experience. :)
