Café de la Presse

Dig this cafe . You can order to-go from the coffee bar tucked behind the bar . Also amazing magazine selection (mostly indie UK mags) -- soccer , bikes , wine , fashion -- worth checking out.

A little slice of Paris right at the edge of Union Square and Chinatown. Come here to feel European and unwind over a bowl of French onion soup or a basket of fries . Read more

Authentic bistro ambience, perfectly executed French dishes, great wine and magazine selection: a great go-to stretch of the homeland in SF!

Amazing breakfasts , charming Parisian atmosphere, nice view of the Chinatown gate. Whatever you order, always get the almond croissant .

Lovely atmosphere. Can't convenient as a stop off for breakfast early in morning and then catch the Big Bus from next door Triton Hotel . Cappuccino is good. Egg Benedict is good but not exceptional.

the food was great and whatever you order you will not go wrong. the only thing that is killing the french “culture” is the way they serve Cognac . No proper glass and of course not pre-heated.

Yammy breakfast . One of the best latte in the city . The size is amazing. But the pastry bad. Even in a Starbucks pastry is better.

Go for the onion soup . Stay for the selection of aoc Provence wines . They have Whispering Angel rose - one of my top two favs. The baguette is also incredible here.

Eggs Benedict w/ smoked salmon here is the best breakfast food I've had in a while. Unfortunately, got stereotyped as an Asian-who-doesn't-know-English by the staff , which didn't set me in a good mood

Food here is delicious. On this most recent visi, I had the Onglet (hanger steak , medium rare w/ bordelaise sauce & fries ).

Great place for breakfast ! Ordered the pancakes and they were soft, fluffy, and pure heaven! ❤️

Awesome atmosphere. You really feel like you're sitting at a Café in France. Had the salmon bagel , it was delicious!

The Benedict eggs were good, although the potatoes were missing something, the place is nice.

Great place for breakfast , lunch and dinner . Tables by the bar best or outside on the curb. When in SF don't miss this!

This is my new fav bfast place....the atmosphere is perfect, food is delicious and the service is on point!! It feels like ur hanging at a cafe in Paris!

Great food, great service, with a great view . Try the chocolate croissant .

Loved the Croque Madame ! Rare to find the proper treatment with brioche , bechamel and gruyere in this town , so this is a great find.

Madewell's Denim Roadtrip will be on Grant Ave & Geary St. on 5/16/12 on between 12-7pm. Stop by for some very special surprises, including a styling station, a hair-braiding bar and a secret deal.

Try the Bloody Mary , taste great

The tarte tatin is my favorite, next to the profiteroles (very generous portion too. Great for sharing).

Breakfast is better than dinner but dinner is good. Omelette are straight from Paris and the profiteroles are superbe.

The escargot are delicious, delicate and not chewy, and best of all come served in their shells, with escargot tongs and forks.

Charming French cafe at the entrance of the Chinatown district. Lovely staff . Good feeling like at home.

My fav cafe/bar in SF. Loads of wines , good food and magazines from around the world

Come here for the Euro- style free coffee house read. Phenomenal magazine collection, good newspapers.

The food and service was excellent. But don't try to get anything to go. They frown on that and will send you across the street to Starbucks (for obviously inferior food).

Love their coffee mugs ;) on the other side very sorry the tomato soup is gone and instead introduced a sweet butter squash ... As for mail I'll stay with the Quiche Lorraine 'round the world tasting.

Amazing service and great atmosphere. I personally didn't care for the parfait , but my girlfriend attested to its French authenticity . She loved the vanilla pancakes .

Cassoulet ou bouillabaisse ? Joking . Ice coffee near china town perfect for a break

Traditional bistro with tons of character, and actual, European unsalted butter.

It's a $5 croissant but the best I've had in the city so far

Great place to meet. Outside seating works well . Menu great. Have the right feel to it.

Love the atmosphere, food & magazines ! No surprise - French onion soup is great. Fun to people watch from sidewalk seats or the bar .

Solid breakfast in front china town entrance

Rabbitt leg is the best dish i have eated in my entere life

I'd order one of the omelettes for breakfast , the oeufs en meurette was really small.

Good food, friendly bar tender. Nice to chill out after shopping or wondering about town .

An institution. I like it better for brunch/breakfast rather than dinner .

Most disappointing eggs Benedict I've had in year. Burnt toast . No hollandaise . Just poached eggs , toast , and potatoes .

Croissants are awesome... Like in Paris... And Orange juice look fresh

Croissant sandwich with home fries absolutely delicious and a perfect portion and a Madeleine to top it all off

Best French Bistro Breakfast (magazine shop embedded!)

Great place but service is getting worse. Sad thing when the supervisor dont put take good care of clients (on august 31, 2013 at 9:30am)

No WiFi...but the pinot noir and French onion soup are great

The food is great but don't miss the bet cocktails .

Nice French style brunch spot . A little pricy for the food portion and quality.

The desserts and sitting outside in the open air, watching people walking by.

Great bar staff ...hooked me up with a free Bloody Mary

Never been to a French café that doesn't serve baguette . But otherwise it's very French ... except the gate to China Town across Bush St.
