    Saw some good reviews, thought I’d give it a try. The server/cashier wasn’t friendly at all. Asked her for a recommendation for dessert, and she gave a few suggestions half heartedly. In the end I picked tiramisu (which admittedly wasn’t what she suggested), and it’s the worst I’ve ever had. It’s so stale, it tasted like it’s been sitting there for days. I usually don’t leave food behind, but I just couldn’t bring myself to finish it. Says a lot. Ordered a cappuccino as well- it’s fine, nothing to rave about. Overall- I’m just disappointed.

    Great place with very good food. Located pretty close to Union Square and in front of Macy's, it is easy to find (but also quite busy). The food is reasonably priced (for San Francisco) and the service was quick despite the busy day. The place has WiFi, but no power outlets, so you could work there, but it might not be ideal.

    The place is so nice and cheerful, they have a big menu of different selection of food and drinks. They also have a nice outside seating area in front of Maycys. It’s in a nice shopping street. I gave them 3 stars because the coffee wasn’t as good as expected. I will definitely go back but not for coffee 😃

    This is a small cafe located just off Union Square on O‘Farrell Street. It features breakfast options as well as various bakery items. Interestingly, the cafe has its lunch and sandwich options on display on the counter, Japanese style, so you easily can see which option you prefer. We only ordered coffee and fresh juices but the salads and sandwiches looked great. The cafe is small and has limited seating immediately by the counter where you order. When the weather permits you can also sit outside on a few tables by the street. The staff is friendly and professional. The coffee was very good and so were the juices, and we will be coming back for more. Ambience: 2/5 Staff: 4/5 Coffee: 4/5 Price/quality: 3/5 (pretty pricey)

    Ordered the hummus avocado toast, and avocado egg toast. The toast could have been toasted a little more. Nice vibe. Very good coffee. Liked how organized everything was.

    Fantastic place for breakfast, lunch, or brunch! We went here almost every morning for breakfast during our vacation. Everything we ordered was delicious, especially the L’ Amour Crepe. The crepes were sweet and the coffee was wonderful. Thank you for making our trip to San Fran a delight! ☀️

    Decent place near union square for a quick cup of coffee. Coffee is better than those you’ll get from Starbucks and there’s seating outside which is a nice place to be when the weather isn’t too hot. There’s food and desserts you can get too and there’s enough seating around for everyone.

    That was a great place to have breakfast/brunch. We went 2 days in a row. The food was really delicious!! We ordered different breakfast bagels and they were great, they also came with fresh fruit, different every day. The only thing I can complain about is the service, they were very nice but very slow, we got there right when they opened at 7 and even being the first o second costumers we thought we wait time was a bit too much, it is a bit overpriced but after seeing the prices in SF it was not too bad. We still went two days in a row, the breakfast gave us so much energy to walk around the city all day!!

    Decent breakfast before shopping in the square. The space is just way too small, especially for a Saturday crowd. A decent variety of options, and even though they were busy our food was prepared quickly.

    Breakfast and coffee of my dreams. The fruit is so fresh. They make their own whipped cream. You might balk at the coffee's size but it's strong and smooth. Best breakfast I've had in a long time. Good food, good coffee, good atmosphere, reasonable prices. You might not have a place to sit during busy times, so plan ahead. We went on a weekday around 10 am.

    A must have breakfast and branch place. Everything is super healthy, a huge selection of sugar free and gluten free dishes. Great price range for San Francisco

    I’ve been going to the Union Square one for a long time. Food is amazing, I just didn’t understand why the skinny lady at the cashier was so mean and careless all the time. But now they have a very friendly and humble lady that welcomes you and makes you feel like they are happy to have you there! Great food and great staff now. Super recommend it.

    Great little breakfast spot. Food is tasty and appropriately priced for the portions. I had the Barn Burner, which had very done bacon (ok by me, but not for everyone) and very runny over easy eggs (not ok by me). Runny to the point where they still had pools of uncooked white sitting around the yolk. There isn't a ton of seating in here and it can get crowded. I would go back for lunch, the display sandwiches looked good as well.

    A very hip place for breakfast! Some amazing breakfast choice for kings! Really enjoy the fresh sandwiches and waffle that they made..very European. very fresh and delicious, Highly recommend the waffle and tea that they have… you won’t me disappoint! Amazing customer service too. If you like this honest review, please give me a thumbs up would be greatly appreciated. Thank you :)

    Cafe central is a really worthwhile stop. Check out photos of some of the yummy display items and you will understand! I cane here because they have gluten free options and great coffee, being in town for business I just needed a quick grab and go. I had the avocado toast and their signature latte and it was just delightful. They seemed pretty popular when I went so many must agree with me. It's worth a stop!

    I love this place! I was in SF for four days and ate here three out of the four days. I walked in once and got my order to go. I walked in and ate my order in the restaurant once. I also placed an order for pickup once. All three experiences were great. The food is fresh, delicious, and beautiful. It tastes as great as it looks. I had the smoked salmon toast twice and the Lox bagel once. To drink, I had the mocha once and the Cuban latte twice. I loved the Cuban latte! The portions are huge, but the drink sizes could be a bit bigger. I thought the prices were reasonable. The staff were friendly and helpful when prompted, but the restaurant is often busy, so they are usually hustling and focused. I wish this place were bigger, because seating is limited and the line can be a bit long.

    This place came highly recommended from some friends. The customer service was good, but the restaurant is a little and can get congested during brunch hours. We visited twice and both times the line to order was out the door. I can personally speak for the waffles, nice and fluffy and the portion was more than enough.

  • 4/5 Moe B. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing location, yummy food options at a fair price. But: A real downer is the food waste they’re causing just because they’re advertising their food at the bar. 👎🏾that’s a no go given the fact there’s so much hunger on earth.

    Great Place for having breakfast. Very tasteful and good looking food and very friendly staff. We really enjoyed the time. Thank you very much.

    Outstanding coffee and pastries. The quality is unexpected. The crowds give away the excellence. I recommend you try this place out. No regrets. Fast and attentive service.
