Gluten free sandwich options! And, it was very tasty!Other than that, the coffee shop wasn’t too out of the ordinary. It’s a coffee shop, with coffee and food. Nothing really setting it apart, but that’s fine. It’s still getting 5 stars from me because of the gluten free option.

The sandwich I had was really great - do give this place a try. Cozy interior and friendly staff. There is some interesting art on the walls that is available for purchase via QR code.

Awesome service, great food/drinks (best matcha in town in my opinion), and immaculate vibes. The art is always intriguing and changes with the seasons and holidays. Wonderful spot to develop community and cozy up with their mini library! ❤️

Unpretentious little cafe serving breakfast, bagels, sandwiches, salad and a large assortment of coffee and teas.Around the corner from Alamo park and Painted Ladies historical houses. The neighborhood is quiet, hilly and calm - fantastic way to spend a quiet afternoon working on a laptop, free wifi. Good large coffees and polite friendly service.Really enjoyed it this authentic no frills place.

Great sandwiches, disappointed in the BLT, very thin slice of bacon compared to the grilled chicken and black forest ham. Coffee could use more filtering, coffee grounds in the cup. Overall great spot.

We stopped at this local corner shop for coffee, breakfast and to keep out of the rain for a bit. I had a garden salad with eggs and ham and my husband had the egg sausage sandwich, both delicious and my salad was huge! The server was friendly and willing to I accommodate my odd egg and salad request. Definitely recommend this place for a light breakfast or lunch and you want it prepared fresh! Also, loved the 90s music they were playing!

Cute little coffee shop with delicious sandwiches for lunch. The staff was very friendly. The only reason I didnt give it five stars is that it took almost a half an hour for our party of six to get all of our food so the first person was done eating before the last person even got their food. I would recommend the chicken pesto sandwich!

This coffee shop is a great place to sit down and study. They have wifi, they have great coffee, and they have the cafe setup such that its easy to sit down and answer a few emails. I had a breakfast bagel and it was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. This cafe sits in a unique location, too, sitting at the opposite end of Alamo Square Park from the famous row of houses dubbed The Painted Ladies. The cafe has a small selection of very interesting books for patrons to browse.Food: 7/10Drinks (coffee): 9/10Environment: 9/10Staff: 7/10

I happened to come across this cozy little coffee shop quite accidentally. To my surprise, it had everything I wanted - Good food, hot coffee and Internet connection. The variety of bagels that Alamo Square Cafe offers is fascinating. I especially liked the ones with peanut butter! Yum! They also offer a good variety of sandwiches and salads with sides. There are also a select amount of cookies and fruits available. I love the cute look the cafe has - the blackboard with the menu being written colorful chalks gives the cafe a pretty look. The place is conveniently located near the Painted ladies, one can get a coffee here and walk to the park in front of Painted Ladies and enjoy the view :-)I am giving a 3 star rating for Alamo Square Cafe :-)

We loved this place! In the hustle and bustle of the crazy city we were lucky to find this little gem just around the corner from the house we rented while in town. The coffee is delicious and the pastries are even better. Friendly staff, remembered my order daily. I will miss this little place and if I am ever back we will for sure drop in.

Really cute and cozy cafe for a quick afternoon lunch. We were short on time, so swung by here and gave it a shot. The staff was very quick and food was delicious! We shared the tuna fish sandwich, and had the hummus platter and a mango smoothie. the tuna fish was perfect for lunch for us. The hummus platter had hummus, pita bread, and dolmas, which were all delicious! Our mango smoothie was super refreshing too!Seating may be tight if the cafe is filled with people working on their laptops, but definitely a nice place to grab a quick lunch, maybe even get it to go and enjoy it at Alamo Square Park! Dogs are also welcomed inside too!

A nice little coffee shop on Fillmore and Hayes. Across the street is Walden House, a rehab. Check it out. The building was used as City Hall after the old one was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake. A nice tree with a bench under is outside and a liquor store is nearby. Stop here for a cup of coffee before you head to Alamo Square and admire the Painted Ladies and absentmindedly hum the theme song for TV show Full House.

In my stay at SF it was where I went to breakfast every day. It is the typical Cafe Bar of the American series, average prices and with vegan options. In my case I ordered: Avocado toasts with gluten-free bread and coffee with soy milk. It cost me about € 15 and the toast has been the best Ive eaten in my entire life. 100% recommended, hyper nice staff.

During the week that I stayed in San Francisco, since I was staying two blocks away, I went to breakfast every day. The site is very welcoming. The food is very good and they have a wide variety for both breakfast and a sandwich. My favorite avocado toast, I recommend it 100%. I really wanted to try the muffins, especially the chocolate one, it looked great!
