Quiet place and welcoming staff . Tried the chorizo toast , with poached eggs and extra avocado . Pair it with nice coffee and your day will start well !

Jessica Stark

For breakfast , get the avocado toast . Also my favorite coffee in the area.

For a subway-tiled dream lunch , try Foundation Cafe, where they have breakfast and lunch that would make any hipster proud, including a garlicky kale Caesar with the option of fried chicken . Read more

Going back to Cali sandwich is amazing, takes grilled chicken to next level. Service is fast and line moves quick during lunch rush

Kendal Cockrel

Great spot for lunch and reasonably priced. Try and get here just before noon to beat the rush and find a table. The Shake Your Banh Banh sandwich is my favorite.

Ben Mackey

Good cappuccino . Get the avo toast or porridge for breakfast .

Ashok Lalwani

Had lunch here. Small place but mainly for take out . Had crispy eggplant wrap . Was really good. It seems like the menu changes everyday so will definitely go again to try vegetarian options .

Mirjam R

Loved the cafe for breakfast - quick, simple and good flavours. Decent prices for downtown SF, good coffee and lovely baristas. Egg sandwich was lovely.

Matt Szenics

Chicken Banh mi sandwich on a wrap with deviled egg on the side. Cookies + iced coffee are bomb. Ppl here are hipster . Hot sauz is dope.

Mandi Gonzalez

The avocado toast was pretty awesome, had delicious ricotta and lemon zest , thickness of bread was great. Only problem was that the bread was a bit burnt.

Laurea de Ocampo

Cute & independent cafe in the middle of the Financial District for tasty Four Barrel coffee , sandwiches , salads and pastries . Friendly staff is a +!

Kayo S.

Modern looking cafe with nice seating. Service was a bit slow as it was the 1st day of opening, but the blackened rockfish sandwich was worth the wait. A little on the pricey side.

Claire Lee

Favorite spot in FiDi. Cozy interiors , Sightglass coffee , and awesome breakfast options ???? (incl. avocado toast )

Andrew Reback

Looks better than it tastes. Had the fried chicken bahn mi - omitted the tenderness and complexity of textures and flavored in an authentic bahn mi that would've been 1/3 the price.

The blackened rockfish made for a fabulous lunch , with perfectly cooked, spice-dusted fish on a baguette with pineapple slaw and chipotle cream. Read more

Nick D'Ambrosi

Sherpa coffee has butter, coconut oil , and vanilla bean ! Tons of caffeine and you won't need to eat anything for breakfast

Paul Sanwald

Had the egg sandwich with avocado , was fantastic. Good coffee , friendly staff , not crowded on a busy weekday morning

Erik Pavia

Now selling buttered coffee , called "Sherpa Coffee ": Four Barrel coffee , grass-fed butter, coconut oil , and vanilla bean .

Graham Siegel

Embrace your inner millennial and get the avocado toast . Throw an egg on it. Don't forget to season generously!

John Kalish

Pulled pork sandwich , chocolate chip cookies , deviled egg

Meric Akkan

Pulled pork sandwich is great

Bianca Buckridee

Brisket sandwich was a tad messy. The donburi w/grilled chicken was perfection. I could eat that every day!

Patrick S

The savory toast is just right for a non-greasy yet filling breakfast .

Graham H

They serve Four Barrel Friendo Blendo espresso (and do it quite well ), and they brew a Four Barrel machine drip.

Good sandwiches and sides - busy during lunch hours

KaylanS

The california donburi is one of the best lunches around!!

Duann

Fantastic for breakfast with egg , avocado and bacon sandwich . Very strong coffee .

Kate Modic

The egg sandwich is yummy and a really good deal for 6.50. There's arugula involved mmm

Stewart Rogers

For breakfast , have the sourdough avocado toast with an egg on top. Fantastic.

Some great salad and sandwich options. One of my favorite lunch spots downtown.

akshaya murali

The California Donburi is my comfort lunch . Clean , tasty and healthy!

Ryan Kotzebue

Mint Sherpa is delish

Kyle Ryan

This place tries very hard to be hipster . But, the breakfast sandwiches are good. They don't serve iced coffee , so try Coffee Bar if you want better iced coffee .

Rachel Ball

The iced coffee is cold brew . ????????

Clare

The California Donburi salad is great - get it w/ grilled shrimp .

Clare

Overpriced, but delicious. The wrap is heartier than you think; the banh mi is delicious but spicy

Pei ???? Wen

Espresso drinks & sandwiches . They have nailed them :)

yash

I think this is the only place in the city , right now, that serves Nitro cold brew .

Ryan Kotzebue

Mint Sherpa coffee is delish

The avocado toast at breakfast time has saved my life several times.
