Lovely little neighbourhood cafe on what feels like the only European square in town . Even nicer when they close the small parallel street and set up tables and chairs for their makeshift terrace .

SFGate

Grab a quick bite at South Park 's staple for lunch , this breezy cafe uses mostly local, organic ingredients . Try French-influenced sandwiches and salads , or a rich brownie or pecan square. Read more

With South Park right outside, who needs wi-fi? Grab a sidewalk table and rest your eyes on some greenery at this delightful SOMA hideaway. Read more

Jonathan Chinchilla

Cool little spot in South Park . If line is too long and all you want is a drip, you can grab a cup and drop amount in provided box. No need to wait for cashier .

Sarah Strehler

Love this cafe , they have delicious food and croissants , and a super friendly staff . Great for lunch dates.

Kat ????

Their latte has this slightly sour after-taste that I don't really like... The coffee shop itself is nice though - great for meeting with friends or spending time by yourself reading or writing.

Brodie Olmstead

Solid lunch spot with super friendly staff . All the salads and sandwiches are great, but the grilled veggie sandwich is my favorite.

James Brown

Breakfast was really good. Would definitely go back.

Paulette Bleam

Get the pasta portofino salad and iced mocha , and hang out for a little while. The Gipsy Kings playing in the background will make up for there being no Internet.

Rodrigo Martinez

Very beautiful and cozy place to have a cup of coffee and breakfast .

Shina

Lunch sandwiches , afternoon coffee or a after work beer - this place has it all, and a view of South Park .

Andrew Pandrew

Cozy or loud depending on time of day and weather, invariably authentic .

Dylan Boyd

Yes. Everyone here is doing deals. Hot spot for VC and cold brew coffee .

Oksen Baris

Good sandwiches for lunch , their breakfast is pretty good as well they have eggs and fresh pastries

Jesse Atkinson

The staff here is really fast and friendly and they make damn good food. I recommend the capresé sandwich .

Excellent cappuccino and good sandwiches . Lovely setting in South Park , too.

Lears Fool

Such a lovely place to sit at a small table outside and talk with a friend about life.

Brian DeWitt

The Niçoise salad is so great. The dressing is just the correct amount!

Manuel Aráoz

Great mocha and banana bread . They also accept bitcoin!

Liz Hall

Amazing coffee , friendly service . Grab a latte and go hang out in the park .

Oriana Wen

Happy hour 5-7 pm. Answer a trivial pursuit question correctly and get 50% off your drink!

Rachael Lynn

Great coffee , I am convinced they brew w/ cinnamon . Cash jar at register to bypass the line if you're just getting drip.

Sarah

Pretty great chai and macchiatos with quiet outside seating by South Park .

Alex Bosworth

Nice espresso , I'd pass on the breakfast wrap : the cheese is good but the eggs and potatoes aren't seasoned

Ariel Zach

Coffee , large area of outdoor sitting , no frills

Gregory Kennedy

Best coffee cake in town . They don't always have and it goes quick when they do. If you're special you will get to experience it. Good luck.

Keenan Patterson

Coffee was great. Sandwich was great. Might just have to become a regular here.

Francesca C.

Bring your own food to eat by the green table in the park . Their salads aren't as good as the setting.

Odile Roujol

Coffee and cool atmosphere

Fermin Aguilar

A delicious retreat from painting . The lattes and sandwiches are to die for. Try one! (Or two)

Ben Brown

Awesome sandwiches , good coffee , great quiet street.

Blythe Riske

Despite the info on yelp, there's no wifi here. Come here to find people talking to each other and writing in and reading from actual books .

Allen Romero

Old skool dot commers lunched here at ground during the first boom. Most of you reading this are too young to know what I am talking about.

Jenna Black

Get your sandwich toasted and on multi grain bread ! Delicious

Chris McIntyre

Best bagels in SoMA! Some how the cream cheese stays solid and cool on a toasted bagel . Perfect! You should try it :)

Get a sandwich or coffee here and sit in South Park .

Sit at one of the green tables outside and make fun of all the webnerds sitting in the park ...even though you're one yourself.

John Whipple

I recommend the veggie sando ! I think it's the tastiest one they have and I'm not even a vegetarian

Takeshi

No WiFi , few outlets, but plenty of spots to stay. Good view of South Park and sweet chai :)

Turkey sandwich on focaccia makes for a perfect lunch

Tim Bartel

Try the Grilled Chicken Sandwich - This and the Turkey Sandwich are the best :)

2 egg breakfasts are available on Saturday morning. The Sicilian (poached eggs on crusty bread ) is lovely.
