    Great food with artistic plating. This restaurant has been a favorite for me and my family for almost a decade. I've also come here to study with my friends as there's free WiFi and upbeat music. When ordering a sandwich, the soup or salad ordered with it comes first as an appetizer with the sandwich being served soon after. Pictured: Santa Fe wrap with ceasar salad and chicken escoffier with cream of mushroom soup.

    I just know I'll be thinking fondly of this meal every single day until I'm old. Every detail was so beautiful, and the service was incredibly kind. If I'm back in SF I will be sure to stop by again!

    Really great service! We thought they had outdoor seating and brought our dog. Turns out they don’t, but they offered to move a table outside without us even asking. Really nice. The food was great too. I think the breakfast wrap and the fruit platter were the most notable things we ordered. The open faced breakfast sandwiches come with cream cheese which is not mentioned on the menu, now you know! We are looking forward to going back.

    A small cafe/restaurant located just a bit west of the main inner sunset area. From the outside, it looks like a simple cafe but the food here is really good. You can tell that the chef takes a lot of pride in the food. The flavor and plate presentation is up there with higher end restaurants. Just look at some other customer reviews. One downside to this attention to detail, was that the service was slow. They seemed to be understaffed for what they were doing. It's one waiter and one chef for the whole place and since every meal is a masterpiece, it takes a while. Only 5 tables were occupied and it took about 15-20 minutes just to order. I saw one couple leave because it took too long to order. I also think the quality of the food is lost with some customers who just come in expecting a quick bite with coffee. The BLT or Tuna Melt you order will not look like in other coffee shops, which makes it special but may not be what some are looking for. Either way really exquisite, tasty food, but it took a long time.

    Awesome neighborhood cafe! We live around the corner and come here often. The coffee is great! The owner is from Peru and makes awesome breakfast wraps we often take on the road with us. I come here during the workday sometimes and also the weekend for a cozy place away from home to read. Highly recommend!

    The food here is truly amazing! Each dish is so well-crafted and individually made with love & attention to detail. The beverages are also fantastic - especially the lattes. I'm so happy I found this cafe, I will be coming back many more times!

    Best cafe spot in the city; come here for cheap coffee, gourmet plated cafe sandwiches, and other snacks. Has Wi-Fi and outlets as well which makes it even more unique since most cafe have no outlets anymore. Recommend getting a meal, comes with really good soup.

    Cafe la Flore is truly a gem. The food is incredible, likely one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in the city. I can’t stop thinking about the roast beef sandwich. Can’t go wrong with the smoothies and breakfast options. Bonus Pepe the owner is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met and he’s worked on accommodating my girlfriend dietary needs. Make sure to check out this hidden gem in the sunset or when you are strolling around golden gate park!

    I didn't look at any reviews or pictures before coming here, so I was pretty surprised at how beautiful the plating was! An overall tasty experience.

    The food was wonderful. Good portion sizes. The server was very nice. I got the mushroom omelette sandwich and the green tea frappe. Both were great. Would definitely come again.

    Pepe makes really tasty and beautiful sandwiches and wraps! The cafe is also a really great place to work. This is one of the reasons I miss living in the neighborhood!

    This is one of the best breakfast places in San Francisco. The food is very tasty, and it has a very good presentation. The service was great as well, the staff kind and very friendly. The place is very cozy and has a nice vibe. The price is fair because the food is delicious. I highly recommend this place, definitely we are coming back.

    Of the highly rated places in the neighborhood that I've tried recently, Cafe La Flore has the best coffee so far. Great flavor, no bitterness. I'm guessing they don't use water that's too hot. I had mine with cinnamon only, and it was perfect for my ride home to the East Bay. But I only had the coffee to go, so please bear that in mind with regard to the 5 star rating. Service was excellent; sorry I did not get her name for appropriate kudos here. By the way, the menu looked good. Enjoy!

    3.5 stars and increasing! Cute neighborhood cafe with decent coffee and breakfast. I appreciate the ambiance in that shop, it reminds me of the coffee shops before the whole industrial vibe took over. The barista is perfecting his craft over time and the coffee is getting better each time. Great place to meet up with friends, do a little work, or just hang out.

    I said I had a gluten and dairy allergy and the server was so kind, he made this new entree for me! The plating is beautiful and delicious. The plants outside are gorgeous. I had the whole cafe to myself on a Tuesday evening. WiFi is fast

    TLDR: to go order, coffee didn’t have sugar as requested, pastrami sandwich had more relish than pastrami and burrito was soggy 20 mins later I ordered a latte and asked them to add sugar which was not done. The pastrami sandwich had relish (which already isn’t normal) but it had such a thin layer of pastrami that the relish overpowered everything. The breakfast burrito was already soggy and soaked through maybe 20 minutes after I received it… can’t recommend it

    Not my favorite coffee, but Amazing food. It’s a deceptively simple menu, but the way they make all the food is just phenomenal (and really looks incredible).

  • 4/5 Lida W. 1 year ago on Google
    I do enjoy going here a lot! The cafe owner is really nice and friendly, and it's a great place to work if you're looking for a quiet spot. The drinks are relatively good and the crowd is mostly working professionals or people coming to grab a bite to eat. Other pros: -They have Wifi and outlets -The space is relatively clean Information to know: -$8 minimum for card payments -No vegan options for food (unless you ask for modifications)

    Wonderful neighborhood spot with made to order, healthy, and interestingly created breakfast/brunch options. The smoked salmon on the open faced sandwich was fresh and high grade; ripe avocado. Yum!!

    I like the paintings all around and the fact that they have a second floor balcony. Staff was very nice and professional, I really liked the customer service they gave me and food was goooooodd!
