Cafe Rosso - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was very positive. The staff were super cute and always friendly. They offer a wide variety of good food options, making it a good spot especially for veggie options. The coffee is good, and the food also doesn’t disappoint. I appreciate them being on our campus!

My experience at this cafe was marred by fraudulent menu prices. The price listed on the menu was different from the price charged on the receipt, even before considering sales tax. This discrepancy was a significant issue.

My experience at this SFSU campus spot was great for quick and delicious food on the go. I particularly enjoyed the bagels and coffee, which were excellent!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I found it to be a great place to come and get your coffee and breakfast sandwich. I especially love the selection of coffees they offer. The service, atmosphere, and food were all rated a perfect 5 out of 5.

My experience at Café Russo was amazing! The food was great, the service was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. The staff is incredibly polite and hardworking. My only complaint is that the manager does not allow for a tip option when using a card. It's very concerning to see the staff blocked from receiving the tips they deserve. Please add a tipping option!

My experience at this restaurant was perfect for lunch on the go when headed to class. The dishes were absolutely fresh and delicious. It's a nice place to enjoy good food on campus.

My experience at the restaurant involved ordering the chicken fried rice, which was excessively oily, almost to the point of leaking. The reviewer's experience with the food was rated a 2 out of 5. Service was rated a 3 out of 5, and atmosphere was rated a 2 out of 5.

The staff was so kind to my mobility service dog, Manish Aghi and Reina Louise. Thank you so much for sharing.

This used to be my go-to cafe when I was on my exchange semester in SF from the UK in 2015. I miss this place, the sandwiches, and just watching people running to class. Ahhh, the memories. It's nice to see it's still up and running. Truly missed.

This campus café is a bit overpriced but offers a good variety of made-to-order and prepackaged foods and beverages. During peak times between classes, expect long lines, with waits of up to five minutes just to order and an additional five to ten minutes for your food. There's no indoor seating, but they provide an awning during rain, and plenty of tables and chairs are available nearby. They accept credit cards, cash, and tap payments. The menu is surprisingly extensive for a small spot, featuring pastries, sandwiches, tacos, salads, pastas, pizza, and more. I recommend trying the daily specials. For a quick option, a slice of pepperoni pizza or a boxed fruit salad works well. If you have more time, the sandwiches are pretty good, especially the BLTA. Don't hesitate to ask for recommendations if you're undecided. The fries are a safe bet; they've recently switched to straight-cut fries with the peel on, which I prefer. Beverages are made using Peet's Coffee recipes, and they also offer tea (teabags). Bottled drinks are available if you're in a hurry. Their coffee is decent. The gyro special had tender meat and fresh vegetables with tzatziki sauce, though the pita was slightly stale, and it came with fries. The caramel macchiato was perfectly sweetened with the right amount of ice. On another visit, the Korean BBQ Rice Bowl, priced at $10. 32 after tax, was disappointing; it was mostly rice with shredded chicken and mushrooms in hot sauce, and the chicken was overcooked. I felt this was a bit much for what was served.
