Delicious Cocktails and Great People Watching
This is such a chill place. The cocktails are delicious, and the service is warm and welcoming. It's a great spot for people watching, with the fashion and outfits on the street being next level. I had perhaps the best espresso martini I’ve ever had! 🤩

Wonderful Experience, Worth the Price
My experience at this restaurant was wonderful. It tends to be. I’ve eaten here before and while it might be just a slight bit pricey, it is definitely worth it. They compensate you with a plentiful amount of food, so much so that I simply never get to try the dessert because I always walk away with a to-go box. It’s also just a charming place to eat at in the Castro, and the seating outside is lovely.

Delicious Food, Beautiful Night, Slow Service
My experience at the restaurant was largely positive, especially concerning the food and atmosphere. The food was truly good and delicious, and the portions were generous. I also enjoyed the drinks, particularly the unique Pomegranate cocktail. The atmosphere was lovely, contributing to a beautiful end-of-summer night. However, the service was a bit slow, though it seemed to be due to being understaffed.

Terrible Meal, No Crab in Crab Cakes
My experience at this restaurant was the worst meal I have ever been served. The crab cakes had no taste of crab, and the "Alaskan" salmon was surprisingly WHITE! When I pointed out to the waiter that salmon is typically red, he seemed unaware. I instructed him to discard it, and when asked if I wanted something else, I firmly declined. The atmosphere was rated 1, service 2, and food 1, with a very loud noise level making conversation difficult.

Great Brunch Spot with Healthy Options
My experience at Cafe Mystique was great! It's a fantastic spot for breakfast/lunch (brunch), offering plenty of healthy choices that fit the neighborhood's vibe. I would definitely recommend Cafe Mystique to a friend and plan to return.

Pleasant Surprise, Great Value!
I'm so sorry to say I slept on this place for so long. My experience was a really pleasant surprise. The service is great, and everything is so well-priced. The Scallop risotto and spicy chicken pasta were 10/10. I'm definitely coming back.

Outstanding Service and Flexible Keto Options!
My experience at Mystic Café was absolutely delicious! They have an amazing selection of food with fair prices. The service was truly outstanding, and I was blown away by how flexible the kitchen was for my keto diet. I could have ordered any dish, and they made it work. I've never seen anything like it. Everything came out super fast and was perfectly cooked. I highly recommend Mystic Café!

Fantastic Food and Value in SF
My dining experience at Café Mystique was absolutely fantastic! This place is a true gem and exceeded all my expectations. I was incredibly impressed with the menu's fantastic selection, offering a wide variety of delicious and creative options that cater to different tastes. Everything our table ordered was beautifully prepared, fresh, and full of flavor, clearly indicating the use of high-quality ingredients. What stands out just as much as the quality of the food is the amazing value. For the price, the portion sizes and the quality received are outstanding, which is a rare find in San Francisco; you definitely get more than your money's worth. The atmosphere in the café is cozy and welcoming, and the staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I can't recommend Café Mystique enough. If you're looking for a place with a superb selection of food and great value, this is it. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! Five stars well-deserved!
