    What a hidden gem! Such a convenient location too from Ocean Beach down the block. I got the avocado toast and bread pudding. The toast was nothing special honestly although it was good. But the pudding was AMAZING. You need to get it. One of the best desserts I’ve ever had. Plus the service was welcoming and friendly. The cashier even gave us complimentary non alcoholic shots!

    I did the Temperance Tasting with a friend, and we were blown out of the water by the friendliness of the staff, the delicious cocktails, and the amount we got. Highly recommend for $40! It was so fun “mixing” drinks like gin cocktails, sparkling wine, and espresso martinis without the hangover or the hurt the next morning. We felt amazing! Natasha was a wonderful hostess. Definitely come by to this gem.

    Drinks: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Overall: I came here for a sober painting event which was very cool. I’d come back again. The extended review... Drinks: 3/5 - The drinks are pretty innovative and are non alcoholic. Just a tad expensive in my mind but it could also be that I haven’t been out in so long. Service: 5/5 - The owner was very awesome, nice, and accommodating. Ambiance: 4/5 - Some seating on the inside and out. It looks like they have a lot of different events which is pretty cool.

    The Ocean Beach Cafe in San Francisco's Outer Richmond is an absolute gem that you can't afford to miss. From the moment you walk in, the eclectic decor welcomes you with open arms, offering a fusion of vintage charm and modern flair that's as refreshing as their mineral water happy hour. With a fantastic speakeasy room that transports you to the golden era of prohibition, the place offers a unique ambiance that stands out in a city known for its culinary treasures. It's the very cool music that gently weaves the atmosphere together, creating a relaxing but vibrant scene that makes you feel at home. What really elevates Ocean Beach Cafe above the rest, though, is the friendly staff. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail contribute to an experience that's both satisfying and memorable. Whether you're looking for a place to unwind after a long day or a venue to catch up with friends over meticulously crafted beverages, the Ocean Beach Cafe should be at the top of your list. Well worth checking out, this venue encapsulates the heart and soul of San Francisco's thriving social scene. A visit to this cafe isn't just a meal; it's an experience you'll want to relive time and time again.

    Ocean Beach Cafe- WOW!! This little gem is soon to be one of the biggest hot spots in the city for a non-alcoholic social drinking experience! Met a group of sober friends here today and was blown away by the amazing selection of house made mock-tails and wide variety of non-alcoholic wines and spirits! Josh is an amazing host and a very skilled mixologist! He was kind enough to give us a brief lesson in mixing a most flavorful and satisfying alcohol free elixir that was absolutely delectable! This is seemingly moving to be the newest trend in having “drinks with friends”. And we’re not talking coffee! The quality of the ingredients makes all the difference in a non- alcoholic mock-tail fit for sober Kings and Queens! The ambience and is well suited for groups and has a lounge type of feel that is very comfortable. The brownies!! I can not forget the brownies!! Absolutely delicious made with real Ghirardelli chocolate and all the food options looked amazing as well. If your looking for a place to get cozy with some friends, a date or even a solo lunch with grade A alcohol free concoctions check out this hidden treasure, the Ocean Beach Cafe! You will be nothing less than amazed! Thanks again Josh for the incredible experience you shared with us today, my friends and I are so grateful for the magical sober space you have so thoughtfully provided. Warmly, Suz

    I stopped in here for a quick bite while exploring the city. It was so delish! They also had a wide range of non-alcoholic beverages. The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere was very chill!

    THE best place in California, heck maybe the whole US, for beautiful and tasty non-alcoholic beverages. Josh will help you find something to take home, and/or mix up an amazing mocktail in his stylish speakeasy. He is the most knowledgeable person on the planet about healthy alternatives to alcohol, and a great guy to boot. The cafe serves delicious food for locals and beach-goers too!

    I’ve come here four or five times and Josh is always an incredible host and guide to the non alcoholic world. His years of experience in the hospitality field, coupled with a huge selection of non alcoholic spirits, aperitifs, beers, wines and more never fails to satisfy. Josh has a deep knowledge of the elements of a complex cocktail and how to combine those elements; and he is always generous with recommendations and tips.

    Fave spot near my fave spot in the sand. Discovered this spot by looking for non-alcoholic options and let me tell ya, this place is a gold mine. Not only of product but of knowledge about all things up and coming in the AF industry. Josh is super friendly and since day one it feels like you are waking into a friends house to catch up and chat.

    Huge selection of nonalcoholic beverages. Great variety from lots of big names and new names. Also the bathroom is like the cutest bathroom I’ve ever seen.

    Who says I can't have a delicious cocktail in the morning?! Actually, me, most of the time, since I do not react well with alcohol, haha. But that is not the case at all at Ocean Beach Cafe, which has the best nonalcoholic cocktails. I have been coming to Ocean Beach Cafe for many months and love the vibe, music, food, and drinks. One of my favorite places that has some of the nicest people working there (like Josh, the owner, pictured below!).

    Came here for some Saturday morning coffee and unexpectedly discovered the largest collection of non-alcoholic drinks (spirits, wine, beer) on the west coast! As a cocktail enthusiast who has been curious about a more sober experience, I had lots of questions. Josh (the owner) told me all about various producers and the upcoming booze free craze while mixing a fresh non-alcoholic negroni for me (which was delicious). I'm very excited to see what he does next, and will be sure to visit next time I'm in SF.

    I forgot to check the hours for this place today and dropped by when they were closed- door was open, I walked in, found the owner there working on something else and he was still kind enough to make me a latte while I annoyed him with questions. I might not have been able to get the full experience, but it's clear when someone has a passion for what they do and genuinely care about a greater cause. I got to learn about the wonderful world of non-alcoholic booze while I enjoyed the best latte I've ever had in one of the coziest settings. I'll definitely be back (quite often I think) next time I'm in the city, this place truly managed to leave a mark within five minutes :) Thanks again!

    Gotta try Hummingbird! A bit skeptical at first as I want to have my regular caffeine fix but my friend recommended Hummingbird and wowza! It suits me well. Me and my friend ordered Hummus Plate as we only want a light meal and it does not disappoints. Forgot to snap the photos, but we had a very good time here. San Francisco! Good place with good vibes and variety of people. Love it!

    Cosy little cafe, decor is nice with big selection of wine and drinks. I had the Oatmeal Latte, later we tried out our 1st ever Kombucha with 9 billions living probiotics, haha. Kombucha is a bit gassy and have ginger after taste. 3 people like it, 3 don't, I quite like it. Surprising nice, recommended to try out. Overheard the waiter recommending drinks selection to others, very knowledgeable! If you are in the area, dropby please. Highly recommended.

    After a long search in the bay, I found the only best NON Alcoholic Cocktail in town. The beverages taste unique and nice. I highly recommend this place for all teetotalers who are always left alone drinking sodas and juice who does not have much choices.

    Clean inviting cafe! Nice staff, good selection of NA beers in fridge. Food is definitely on the pricier side. $15 turkey sandwich with chips that's way more appropriately priced about $10

  • 4/5 Steve H. 9 months ago on Google
    The service was excellent and the coffee quite good. The giant chocolate chip cookie we got on a Saturday morning was rock hard, though. They have a limited selection of food as well.

    Ocean Beach Cafe is a very interesting place. It is not just a cafe that serves desserts and sandwiches but also it serves as "Dry Pub", such as non alcoholic beer, non alcoholic wine, non alcoholic spirit and non alcoholic cocktails. You can totally have the pub experience in Ocean Beach Cafe without the impact of alcohol so this place is 100% perfect for people who are driving since you will have no fear of DUI at all after the booze in this "Dry Pub" I would definitely highly recommend this place to my friends and relatives when having booze together. Rating for this pace: 270%

  • 1/5 Sabina G. 10 months ago on Google
    I think this place is popular ONLY because of its non alcoholic beverages scene. Apparently, it's a thing. We just chanced upon the place because we were in the area, and the place had good reviews. The server talked up everything like it was the best. The cauliflower pizza was literally the worst I've had in a long time, and I'm 100% gluten-free, so my standards aren't that high. It was just a sorry frozen pizza, and you could tell by the taste. Hubby had a breakfast sandwich, and he wasn't impressed either. This place doesn't really have a kitchen - just an airfryer, toaster, microwave so they aren't dishing out fresh meals. I'm not sure why this place has decent reviews for food. Also, I got a non alcoholic cocktail recommended by the server that he really talked up, and I actually found it bad. I think the non alcoholic cocktail scene is probably not for me.

    This place is great. We have a daughter with an egg allergy, so our options are limited. Found this sweet gem and fell in love with it. Breakfast sandwich is top notch and my wife and daughter not talking makes me believe the turkey sandwich is even better!! 11/10 I would recommend to everyone.

    Good place for drinks, not a good place to eat. Food was put together from store bought chips, etc. not as healthy as I thought. At least 18% tips for minimum service.

  • 5/5 Jasper S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Spot near Ocean beach. I like the fact they have non alcoholic & Vegan options. Owner Josh and his whole crew is very inviting and the café has a chill vibe.

  • 5/5 Liz M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was amazing and we found it totally by coincidence! After getting unexpectedly drenched in the ocean, my friend and I needed a place to sit down and regroup while we searched for a local laundromat. This was the top search result and it was EXACTLY what we needed. Friendly, informative service, warm tea, and the best bread pudding I’ve ever eaten. We left fed, happy, and ready for our next adventure!

  • 5/5 Ray M. 10 months ago on Google
    Lovely spot with friendly, knowledgeable staff, a huge variety in NA beverages, and very yummy food! The staff helped us pick out 2 sparkling wines, both of which were great and one of which is in the pic. We also had the bread pudding and that was a real treat. Great portions too :)
