The neighborhood go to. Chilaquiles, Benedict, or a classic BEC. Can’t go wrong.

I live in the neighborhood so I always go here. The staff are always very courteous and friendly. They seem to really like what they do. The food is great and the portions are just right. If you have a smaller appetite, two people can share a plate of anything on the menu. I like their savory crepes the best.

This is ridiculous.. we ordered breakfast burritos an hour ago, were told they would be ready in 25-30 minutes. We arrive after 30 minutes to wait in line another 20+ minutes.. get to the front to pay and they still aren’t ready yet… that’s terrible customer service

Outstanding customer service.Never been here before.I called in to see if they had blended coffee drinks, akin to a Starbucks Frappuccino.The young lady I spoke with said they didn’t but that she’d be willing to make the drink for me.I showed up and not only did she try, but she seemed happy to do so.And to go above and beyond she offered to give me the left overs from the blender which was like another 8 ounces of drink, or to make me something else if I didn’t like it.That’s how to do business.Even though her attempt at the mocha Frappé didn’t hit my pallet the way I would have liked, I truly appreciated the gesture.As far as the atmosphere of the café, vibes were calm and casual. No music blaring in the background. Plus the art on the walls and the wooden furniture gave the café a warm and homey feel.Thank you young lady for your hospitality, I hope future customers receive the warm reception you showed me.All the best and cheers to your next local discovery.

We ordered 4 drinks and not one of them was hot, they were warm at best. Really disappointed ☹️.

Very subpar experience the barista was a smart Alec and very very snooty didn’t offer great customer service skills at all maybe. He should have an education in what customer service actually is to better suit his customers needs because that is the reason he even has a job!! Thank you!

A lovely neighborhood cafe. The staff is thoughtful and kind. They call regulars by name, and are courteous to newcomers.

Great place to stop in solo or with a friend and have a light meal, snack, or beverage of your choosing (coffee, smoothies, beer, lots of choices). Lots of seating inside or outside. Right off Divisadero & Hayes which are high car and foot traffic so not the best spot for heart to hearts or sensitive its not you, its me conversations. 😉

TACOS TACOS TACOS. Strongly encourage the owners to go all-in on the new tacos concept menu add. Honestly some of the best I have had. Will be back as often as I can before I need to queue for a long time for the beauties.

Amazing breakfast burrito and pretty good chai. Not a quick stop for takeout, but with it if you have about 15 minutes to wait.

The burger there was really tasty. Usually burgers are flavorless and you have to add a ton of catsup or something. This patty had a great flavor.

The wait for food can be long, and the food is good but not great. There were flies around too. That said, it’s good for a chill place to meet a friend for coffee

Very friendly & nice staff! Its pretty busy, but they do well its getting you your order quickly! Its pricey, but their burrito is really good, too! I got the al pastor, and I loved it! The burrito is pretty big, so its worth the price, only a few bucks more than everybody elses burritos, and I think way better! The tacos are pretty good, too; and speaking of two, be sure to order two so you can get the happy hour price on beer, as ordering one doesnt cut it, for some reason. Theyve usually got a pretty good selection of beers on tap, for only three bucks (during happy hour, $4.50 otherwise) with food purchase (of anything, or two tacos). Indoor and outdoor seating are both available, but the outdoor seating is right on the sidewalk, and the sidewalks about 3 in wide! Luckily, Shared Spaces SF has just been made permanent, so their parklet seating should be there, as well!

Perfect place for unwinding! What I like in this coffee shop is that they will allow you to do your paperwork. The place is good for those people who dont like to study at home. Their coffee was so affordable, so theres nothing to worry about. You keep it up, guys! Excellent service! Highly recommended!

Close to our destination. Eclectic...maybe more so for out-of-towners...maybe more normal for the locals. Great location.

Get the Carnitas tacos!!Super friendly. Good prices. The menu is extensive, which can be arresting, so lemme help: always get the homestyle fries, pesto crepe, any taco, or the breakfast burrito. Smoothies here are also 👌 for the park

A neighborhood favorite with great happy hour beer specials on a good selection of drafts. Theyre been focusing on tacos and burritos recently, and while theyre not cheap, the quality is top-notch. Try the al pastor.

Great atmosphere. Wonderful people who work at the establishment, they put so much love and passion into their work; that goes for both the waiters/waitresses and the cooks. The best burgers I’ve ever had came from this place, so obviously I would recommend that. Drinks are great, food is amazing, and the people are spectacular.

Came to this place to have some coffee and it was really bad. I just recommend you to go there to eat as they have a really varied menu, you can also go there and work with your laptop.Depending on the hour you arrive, you might find a line to order so, prepare to wait.

The Bean Bag Cafè is one of those places that have something for everyone. From pastries, to salads, to sandwiches, I have yet to be disappointed by their food. The interior is interesting with lots of art on the walls and definitely has a homey feel to it. Staff has always been patient and food out out fairly quickly, even when they are busy. I had a scramle once there that was delicious. I cant remember the name of it, but it had chicken and potatoes. Tasted marvelous and came out quick! Their chicken sandwich is good too.

Took me 3 years of living in the neighborhood to visit bc its so unassuming, but I was blown away. Theyre very kind, my chilaquiles and latte were fantastic, and I like the order first setup. Very friendly neighborhood vibes sitting out on the patio, good for puppy watching.

Review №54

One of my favorite San Franciscan neighborhood cafes. Staff is super friendly and food pretty decent with lots of healthy options. Love their Benedicts. Most of the stuff here are verysonable prices by SF standard. It also has free WiFi and you can bring a book or laptop to sit for a few hours. Bean bag cafe gives the neighborhood a bit more human community feel than just some high-end overpriced restaurants which NOPA is increasing developing into.

Some of the best food in San Francisco and definitely the best atmosphere. I moved away 20 years a go and still talk about them. Wife and I just went back and the owner is still there, like he is every morning and without missing a beat says to me its been a while, Jason, good to see you.If you get the chance check it out.Driver J

Bean Bag Cafe is an excellent neighborhood small business! Lots of seating with spacious tables and plenty of food and drink options.The coffee here is LEGIT - Im the type of person who drinks 3-4 cups of coffee per day and a large House Blend from here wired me up for the whole day! Not sure if I got an extra-caffeinated batch, though.

Awesome place for crepes and breakfast fare. Chill vibe and friendly servers add to an overall excellent experience. I especially love the smoked salmon crepe, and the perfectly crispy home fries were a revelation. I live close by so I generally order takeout, but there are usually enough seats to dine in with no hassle. Good stuff!

This place is a class act. The food is an incredible value, it tastes absolutely amazing and the price is not super crazy. The staff is attentive and genuinely concerned about your experience. The only way I wont come here again and again and again is if I die first.

This place became somewhat of a local for our breakfast when staying in SF last month. Great food, either cooked breakfasts (the breakfast potato is delicious) our the very good granola and fruit with a very generous fruit serving. Coffee is nothing to get too excited about but it served its purpose and was by no means a let down. Staff were efficient more than they were friendly - but it’s a very busy little place so that’s forgivable. I liked the window seats - great people watching over breakfast! Also free wifi is an obvious draw card lots of people tapping away on laptops and devices over their meals / drinks.

Bean bag café has a large menu option. Their orange juices are not freshly pressed so I gave a try to the ginger lemonade. I was very strong in ginger but very tasty.You can work at the table tops they have a lot of plugs. And the WiFi password is at the bottom of their receipt. The only issue if youd like to work is that the music is extremely loud (rap and R&B radio on the day I was there)

If youre in the mood for inexpensive beers, this is the place to go. Of course the ambience feels more like that of a coffee shop, seeing as it IS a coffee shop. Its a cute coffee shop though with the right amount of personality. Their breakfast burritos are delicious, large, and perfect hangover cures. They have outdoor seating right on Divis which makes for great people watching and its always busy, but not too busy.
