    Velo Rouge is neat little cafe perfect for a bicycle ride pit stop. They have bicycle racks outside and is on Arguello, which is a busy bicycle thoroughfare to the Presidio from Golden Gate Park. You don't even need to lock your bike up because of the seating outside. We had coffee and a breakfast burrito $14. The coffee was not bad. The breakfast burrito was very tasty. Service was fast and friendly. Great job staff at Velo Rouge.

    Oh my god, what a find! Delicious breakfast & hearty portions. We stuffed ourselves more than we should have & oh boy oh boy - what a post-vaccine brunch did it make! We ordered the burrito, egg breakfast & banana pancakes - I blame the vaccine, they make you hungry!! Utterly delicious, highly recommend. Sit outside & soak in the sun on a nice chilly, sunny SF spring day.

    Bike cafe for the win! Coffee is great but the food is not only good, but the potions are huge. The prices are also reasonable for San Francisco ($11-14 for breakfast) 👍🏼

    There is room for improvement here. The breakfast burrito was $17 and while the flavor was good the way they prepare the eggs made the overall texture very grainy and unappetizing. I had an iced latte and there were noticeable grounds floating in the drink. The two burritos and two coffees with tip cost $60 and it just wasn’t worth it for an order at the counter and seat yourself style cafe. Some of their other dishes looked pretty good so I think they are worth a try.

    Velo Rouge is such a magical little cafe! Yummy food, incredible coffee, great spot for brunch or a stop on your cycling ride. Easy going for a little weekday morning working.

    My friends and I were craving some socially distanced brunch before hitting Golden Gate and stumbled upon this gem. I loved everything about Velo. Prices? Affordable for SF. Portion sizes? Generous. Service? Speedy. Overall taste? Bomb. My partner and I ordered the french toast and smoked salmon benedict, which came with hearty roasted potatoes and fresh fruit (a nice touch - the orange and apple slices helped clear our palates at the end of the meal). Both dishes really hit the spot. I also liked how quiet and peaceful the surrounding neighborhood was - my friends and I were able to have an uninterrupted heart-to-heart conversation.

    Wonderful atmosphere in a great location. Excellent and eclectic breakfast menu. Service is somewhat lacking (I stood for five minutes at the counter without so much a "hello I'll be right with you") and the prices are quite high.

    Grateful to the SF Velo Rouge Cafe for taking my phone order while I was on a hike through San Francisco’s iconic trails with my Northern California Camino group. Several of us called ahead and they had our food ready when we arrived. I scarfed down the BALT sandwich served with the best house salad. I am very picky about salad dressing and it was a song for my taste buds. 🎉 Thank you to the lovely person who took my order and had it ready. You must drop by when you’re in the area. Our group enjoyed the food at the Presidio picnic area overlooking majestic views of the city. It was the perfect day made even better by great food.

    The breakfast burrito was very delicious and the banana pancakes were wonderful. Very generous portions at reasonable prices. This is a perfect place to grab brunch if you are close by to Golden Gate Park.

    Pretty good Bagel with Lox, I especially loved the accompanying fruit salad, but just wish the bagel was better.

    Great food and atmosphere, and typically service is fast and helpful. This particular time in, I ordered food to go, which typically takes 15 minutes to prepare. The hostess, Yasmine I believe, took an entire line of customer’s orders, before I got back into line to ask for the bag of food that was waiting for me. The first server was great and polite!

    Hey. This one is worth a try! The care and attention to detail! Sweet! That combined with the portion size makes this place well worth the time for breakfast. I'm giving it my coveted "Clean Plate Award!"

  • 5/5 Aidan K. 11 months ago on Google
    The best portion of quality food I’ve ever gotten for $16. Even half of my plate would have gone for $20 anywhere else. It’s kind-of a cafe style restaurant so don’t expect perfect service. Good coffee too!

  • 5/5 Heidi M. 10 months ago on Google
    Loved the atmosphere, outdoor seating, latte, and scone. Best latte in town, to date. Had the spinach scramble; it was not only yummy, it was so much that I took half home for the next day!

    Nice, small corner cafe. Good coffee. The breakfast burrito was 👌.

    The person working the register should not be in the customer service industry. Doesn’t make eye contact. Acts like customers are a nuisance to him. Food and coffee were decent, but would not return if this guy is working.

    A small and cozy neighborhood cafe. The kinda place where you can hang out and enjoy fresh tasting yummy food and good coffee/tea.

    It’s a good spot! I had the 2 eggs any style breakfast and was very satisfied. I also ordered a mocha too. Solid taste and temperature. The prices were fair for SF (and for the quality of food). So what’s so great about the place? Well, the atmosphere. Nice soft rock music at a good volume to have a conversation. Classic SF cafe interior look (think rundown SF shop…it’s a good thing). Very nice lady running the cash register. Close proximity to GG park without the tourists! LOADS of bicycle parking. Now my personal favorite, I hate when restaurants give you like 2 or less packets of jam for your toast. I’m a guy who likes a solid foundation of jam per toast ratio. There’s a whole area in the cafe where you can gather how ever many jam packets you need! (Also hot sauce and condiments are there too) I love that kind of freedom. If I’m in the area again I’ll definitely be back!
