Frequently criticized
- serviceThe quality of the food was also not satisfying, and it felt so much overpriced. I understand that San Francisco is expensive, but paying $24 for coffee and a veggie sandwich is excessive, especially when five years ago it was $14 with much better service. For a good breakfast, I would recommend going elsewhere, perhaps beside Market Street.

- table number signWhile the food was excellent, the service was quite problematic. The cashier did not provide a table number sign, which led to confusion. My waitress then walked around with my food for a while until I had to get up and identify it as mine.
Overall, the service here is a major highlight, making it well worth a visit if you value a friendly and efficient experience. You're likely to be met with genuine warmth and attentiveness, though be prepared for the occasional minor hiccup.

Despite a challenging overall perception, a handful of diners did find some bright spots regarding value.

Frequently criticized
- priceMy experience at the restaurant was quite underwhelming. I ordered the beef hash for $20, but it was primarily potatoes with only a hint of beef. When I inquired about the protein amount, the staff assured me it was plenty and excellent, which I found to be typical American style – loaded with carbs and lacking in nutritious value.
- pricesDon't be fooled by the cute exterior. My experience was marked by low quality food for very expensive prices. For instance, the smoothie was not made fresh; it was premade and just had ice added.

Sweetest Service, Amazing Club Sandwich!
My daughter and I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The gentleman who assisted us, possibly the owner, was incredibly sweet – one of the kindest people I've ever met! We shared a simple club sandwich, and it was truly the best I've had.
The ingredients were fresh, with crisp lettuce and tomato, and the bacon was perfectly crispy and tasty. It was an amazing experience!

Exceptional Kindness and Fantastic Food!
I barely have words to adequately praise Mo'z Cafe and the exceptional experience I had just now. I was beyond embarrassed this morning when I realized I had left my credit cards at home and didn't have enough cash in my wallet to cover the breakfast and coffee I had just ordered. My face flushed with a crimson glow, and I wanted to bolt asap.
But the kind and friendly man who had greeted me with a huge smile, Mo himself, was incredibly understanding. Without hesitation or any hint of rancor, he told me to pay whatever I could. As I handed over about half my bill, he simply said, "you're good.
" He then offered to bring my food to my table. This sweet and sincere act of kindness touched me deeply. I am so grateful for the generosity, grace, and tact I was afforded.
The French toast and coffee were fantastic! I later remembered I had my PayPal on my phone, but Mo's response was, "Next time. " Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Price per person: $20–30

Disappointing Experience with Many Shortages
My experience at this restaurant was largely disappointing due to numerous issues. While the people were nice and the restaurant cute, the overall experience was marred by a significant lack of available items. We were out of chips, so I had to settle for hashbrowns with my sandwich.
Additionally, they were out of both Pepsi and Diet Pepsi. The bathroom was out of paper towels, and my eggs Benedict came with what seemed like a hard-boiled egg. My sandwich was also unexpectedly toasted.
It appeared they were running low on water and ice as well, as we only received tiny cups of water and no ice despite asking. The price of $20 for a basic turkey sandwich also felt excessive. Due to these problems, I will definitely not be returning.
