Excellent Breakfast and Coffee Choices
My experience at this restaurant was very good, especially for breakfast! They offer good sandwiches, very good bowls, and delicious cakes and waffles. The variety of cafe options is impressive, with some truly special and unique choices. I particularly enjoyed the cafe itself, and the wide selection of milk and non-milk alternatives was a great plus. On a nice day, you can enjoy your meal at an outside table. If the weather isn't cooperating, you might get lucky and find a seat inside to savor a very good breakfast and a wonderful cafe. The personal was polite and ready to help with choices. At times, they seemed a bit in a hurry due to the high flux, suggesting they operate on a 'time is money' principle. A slightly slower pace might make the experience even nicer 🤔. Overall, everything – food, drinks, sandwiches, cakes, fresh juices, and bowls – was really good.

Delicious Food, Great Value!
My first visit was a 10/10 experience. It was so hard to pick what to order because everything on the counter looked so delicious. The price is affordable too, not too crazy compared to other restaurants these days. I will definitely visit again!

Amazing San Francisco Find!
My experience at this restaurant was 10 out of 10. The sandwiches were amazing, and the coffee was really good and fresh. The food itself was brilliant, and surprisingly, for San Francisco, it was cheap (please don’t change that 🤭). It was so good to sit outside in the sun ❤️. I absolutely love it here and the people. You definitely need to visit it. Yes, it's next to the garage, and yes, it’s on a “busy” street, but do it! Greetings from Amsterdam (Europe), we will definitely come back if we visit San Francisco again 🙏.

Tasty Breakfast Croissant, Mixed Crepe
My experience at the restaurant was a mix of good and could-be-better. We ordered the breakfast croissant, which was very tasty and generously served. It came with a side of fruit, but unfortunately, the fruits were quite sour and could have been improved. We also tried the crepe l’amour (strawberry with Nutella). It was well-served with strawberries and had tasty whipped cream, but it lacked Nutella, and the crepe batter was a bit thick. Overall, the food was good, and the service was excellent.

Amazing Italian Sandwich, Small Space
The display case caught my eye; it looked like art. I was hoping it tasted as good as it looked. I had an Italian sandwich, which was one of the best sandwiches I ever had. The only drawbacks were that it was a bit small and the restaurant was crowded. Otherwise, I would have given all 5 stars.

Unbeatable Downtown SF Breakfast Spot
My experience at this breakfast spot in downtown San Francisco was unbeatable. The prices are very affordable compared to nearby places, and they offer plenty of healthy options. I was impressed with the generous portions and the incredibly fast service.

Amazing Coffee and Food!
My experience at this shop was fantastic. I was incredibly impressed with the amazing coffee, so much so that it makes going to Starbucks difficult when this place is an option. The food was also great. While the space is a bit small, it didn't affect my experience as I was just doing a grab-and-go. Overall, I love this shop.

Disappointing Almond Croissant
I had an almond croissant this morning, and it wasn’t good 😑. The surface wasn’t crisp and it didn’t taste like fresh pastry. I felt like I wasted my $7.

Delicious Orange Juice and Chocolate Loaf!
During a shopping trip in San Francisco, we made a brief rest stop here. We absolutely loved the fresh orange juice and the double chocolate loaf!
