    I’m always glad this place exists. While the surrounding neighborhood has gone increasingly upscale, Atlas Cafe is resolutely unpretentious. It has the feel of a college coffee shop, with a large amount of seating, where you can sit and chat, read, do work, etc. All the food and drink here is just okay, the pizza especially drab, but you go here because it’s uniquely chill, not because the food or coffee is particularly great (there’s so many other places for that in the area).

    Medium roast coffee beans, great a atmosphere and plenty of outdoor seating. No wait either. Nice vibe!

    Those is a nice place to have a fast bite by yourself or with companions. It's a great spot to work as well. The ambiance is great. Generally speaking, it is pleasant, peaceful, and clean. There is some interesting, effective wall art. There is also an option for outside sitting. You absolutely must try the personal pizzas. Additionally, the salads are wonderful. It is undoubtedly vegetarian-friendly. The diversity of (non-alcoholic) drink selections is what makes this establishment great. The ginger lemonade is strongly advised (it is quite ginger-y). The golden latte is wonderful.

    This is a classic spot with amazing salads and sandwiches. I've had everything on the menu and it's all divine. Great spots for outdoor and indoor eating.

    A Stellar Experience at Atlas Cafe in San Francisco! Rating: ★★★★★ I recently had the pleasure of visiting Atlas Cafe in San Francisco, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The café’s cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and mouthwatering menu options left me thoroughly impressed. Ambiance: Atlas Cafe exudes a warm and welcoming vibe, making it the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a delightful meal. The rustic décor and ample seating options create a relaxed setting that’s equally suitable for solo diners or groups of friends. Service: The staff at Atlas Cafe truly go above and beyond to ensure guests have a memorable time. Their attentiveness and genuine enthusiasm for their work made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. Menu Variety: The menu offers an impressive array of choices to satisfy various palates. Whether you’re a coffee lover seeking the perfect cup of joe, a brunch enthusiast craving delectable pancakes, or someone looking for healthy lunch options, Atlas Cafe has it all covered. Food Quality: The food here is nothing short of outstanding. From the moment my order arrived, I could tell that each dish was crafted with care. The ingredients were fresh, and the flavors harmoniously blended to create a truly delightful dining experience. Must-Try Dishes: I highly recommend trying their signature avocado toast, topped with perfectly poached eggs and sprinkled with a dash of spice. For the coffee lovers out there, their specialty lattes are a must-try, especially the lavender-infused latte – it’s a heavenly treat! Community Vibe: What sets Atlas Cafe apart is its commitment to fostering a sense of community. The café regularly hosts events, open mic nights, and showcases local talent, making it a hub for creative expression and connection. COVID Safety: During my visit, I noticed that Atlas Cafe prioritized safety measures, ensuring ample spacing between tables and adhering to sanitation guidelines.

    Cute coffee shop with good coffee. Came here at 8am in the morning seeking sustenance after a strenuous HIIT workout at the gym nearby. Very quiet in the morning but the barista was so nice and beaming with warmth. Lots of seat space and outlets for working and wifi is available. Love the relaxing music and decor. Cappuccino was a bit pricier than expected at a little more than $6 a cup, but did not disappoint. Would definitely come back to try the food!

    I dropped in at Atlas bc I was dyeing for a cold drink. I was pleasantly surprised that they have 3 vegetarian/vegan sandwiches to choose from! I had the tofu & chard on toasted whole grain bread and it was wonderful! The whole place was bright and cheery. If I lived in this neighborhood I would eat here all the time.

    A favorite spot to sit, read, work all while enjoying excellent coffee and a nice food menu. Have been coming here so long I can’t remember. One of the back in the day’s that has kept up with the Mission’s transformation.

    One of my favorite cafe's to work remotely from. Great outdoor and indoor space, robust lunch menu, and wifi AND outlets??. Sad that's such a rare thing these days, but it's what makes Atlas cafe a safe bet for a remote workday.

  • 2/5 Trista M. 8 months ago on Google
    Bacon was burnt and food was overpriced for what we got. The drip coffee was also not very good. The atmosphere was quiet, which is good for laptop work, but if you want to have a conversation, everyone in the cafe will overhear you. Not a good spot for brunch unfortunately.

  • 3/5 Monette S. 10 months ago on Google
    $50+ for a sandwich, salad and 1 coffee! Used to love this place. The beetloaf sandwich is now $16!

  • 5/5 Jack D. 7 months ago on Google
    Just had a breakfast there this morning. Had a bagel cheese with salmon and I asked them to put an egg in there. It was absolutely fantastic. I’m probably going to go back there tomorrow do the same but instead of bagel think I’m gonna have a sourdough bread I’m down here to dry it off., thank you for great service, my only complaint would be parking😂😂

    Pretty good & smooth coffee- I got the golden latte. However, it is quite pricey for what it is. Beautiful in appearance though.

  • 5/5 Megan H. 4 months ago on Google
    A perfect place to sit and work - they have amazing coffee, food, and ample place to sit and work. Great ambiance and friendly staff! I was in town visiting and waiting to check in at my airbnb and worked here for several hours. There are many tables, free wifi, and even outlets for charging. They also have lots of gorgeous outdoor seating and even had comedy show outside which apparently happen every Saturday at 2PM - so fun! Will be back any time I am in town :)

    Cute spot, good service. Food selection is a bit limited, but a good space to relax or work in. The back patio is lovely. The grilled cheese sandwich is solid but could use a stronger cheese.

  • 3/5 Stefano M. 1 year ago on Google
    Been coming to this place for 15 yrs. Sadly the quality of their coffees has gone down since their revamp a few months ago. Also it's a hit or miss with their baristas, need more training on how to make the drinks if you serve $5+ espresso drinks.

  • 5/5 Jerry G. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly folks, good seating Tried the mushroom coffee thing and it was kind of awesome -- smooth and creamy. stay in cups have large portions for the drinks. good food selection. charming spot overall!

  • 4/5 Emma J. 1 year ago on Google
    The food here is decent, but it would be great if there were some more creative vegan options. Plant based milk choices include oat, almond and soy.

  • 5/5 Noah 1 year ago on Google
    Sandwiches are so good! It's chill here and the staff is nice too. Good place to spend time or get to go food/coffee

  • 5/5 Sarah H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great cafe with lots of seating. Loved the golden latte and Cuban sandwich.

  • 5/5 craig h. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice cafe in a neighborhood full of cafes and bars. Cool but not pretentious. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Breakfast, sandwiches, salads and pizza. Coffee, Italian sodas beer and wine. I'll come back.

  • 5/5 Hector V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food and lovely atmosphere! Get a coffee, a pastry, and sit in the patio in the back.

  • 5/5 Gavin D. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food, comfortable surroundings, and if there’s such a thing as a non-skeezy blockchain developer you’ll find them hanging out there.

  • 5/5 Julie K. 4 years ago on Google
    This is my favorite cafe in San Francisco— the food is delicious and it has a great no-frills atmosphere. Whether you are vegetarian or not, you have to try the beetloaf— I’ve never had another sandwich like it. They also have a nice outdoor seating area and on Thursday/Friday nights they have jazz bands come in.

  • 5/5 Manuel S. 1 year ago on Google
    It's become one of my favorite places to go before work , my favorite sandwich would be their turkey bacon avocado and of course their soup of the day is always a surprise

  • 3/5 Alex S. 2 years ago on Google
    I ordered from the app "too good to go" and was really disappointed. I received a small container of soup and two pieces of bread. The value of this was supposed to be $12 + The premise of this app is that it's food that is going to be left over or go to waste, totally not the case. It's just a marketing ploy to get you in the restaurant. Everyone got the surprise soup which is just a regular staple of the cafe.
