    We stopped by this place for breakfast one morning during the Dreamforce event. The place was crowded (likely due to the event) and therefore service was a little slow. I ordered a Latte and a Bacon & Egg breakfast sandwich. The breakfast sandwich was very small .....for how much it cost it seemed a little out of proportion. The sandwich was fine, but nothing special. If I am being honest, this is not the pace to come for food....but the latte was nice and tasty treat. The actual place was small and woudl be a great place for one to hang out and drink coffee at a less busy time.

    The atmosphere is very cute and calming. Small and limited seating but overall comfy vibes. Ordered a bagel and croissant both were very good just a tad expensive but to be expected with a small coffee shop. The coffee was good, nothing too special but good. The lady at the front seemed rushed but still took time to get our order correct.

    Good place to chill and work, have a coffee or snack. But please don't order the "muffuletta" sandwich. Something tasted funny. I'm not eating this. I managed the bread, but I'm fearful about the bites I already took.

    Stopped by here Sunday morning and got a vanilla latte and bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. Latte was good but I was kind of disappointed by the sandwich. It was premade and came out of a plastic wrapped bag and heated up in the toaster. Was not freshly made and also pretty small for $8. The employee working was nice but I could tell she was overwhelmed. It was only her working so she had to work the register, make drinks and food all by herself. Please hire more staff so your employees are not so stressed!! There was a long line and orders were taking awhile to come out. This inside of the cafe is cute, decent amount of seating and books/games available to play. This cafe is located inside a hotel so it's convenient for people who are staying here. I don't think I'd return but glad I tried it out!

    This coffee shop is located directly below the hotel. There's plenty of books and board games available for customers, which I thought was a nice touch and feature for customers. Their cold brew was pretty standard and perfect for a hot or 70+ degrees SF day. I also enjoyed their breakfast sandwich. I had the sausage, egg and cheese. The perfect pick you up as you check out of the hotel. My only gripe was timing. Not too sure if they are equipped to make everything on their menu under 15 minutes. It took quite a while to make the breakfast sandwich. Other than someone sitting down (who had already gotten their coffee) I was the only person in the shop. There were also two people working there, so you would think with the 2:1 employee:customer ratio, the service would be a lot quicker.

    So it's not technically a small business coffee shop by the way - owned by and attached to a Hilton hotel. That being said, the coffee and espresso is good and there's a great selection of beverages. Average baked goods and mini quiches.

    Located in the former Funny Library Coffee shop, Bean Bar Café is the new coffee shop at the Canopy by Hilton. Their cold brew is fantastic. The barista didn't know where it's from, so I'll report back later - but it seems to come premade from a third party vendor. They have both regular cold brew and nitro available. Main downside is fairly high prices, even for SF - my cold brew was $6. I live nearby, so I'm excited to have a new coffee shop. See menu photo, attached.

    My espresso was good. The baileys latte my wife ordered, she wasn't a fan of it, she didn't finish it. My son got an $8.00 cranberry juice which was outrageous for a 16 ounce or so cranberry juice. We ordered food, which we thought was going to be made. It was premade food in wrappers that was just tossed in the microwave. Service was good. She was quick for being by herself. The store itself was cool, books and stuff as its decor. I don't think we'd eat here again.

    I went here in the morning to get a drink and I LOVE this place! The barista was super nice when I asked her for recommendations. There's also a lot of seating, with a longer table and smaller tables with pillows for getting coffee with a friend. There are also OUTLETS everywhere which is so convenient for studying or doing work in general. I love the natural lighting and options for seating. A cafe gem!

    Cute café attached to the hotel we are staying at. We went here our first morning for breakfast. The food is tasty and made to order. I really liked my Decaf Latte with Almond Milk and a shot of Dark Chocolate. I went back the next morning and the girl remembered my order, which was nice. There's lots of books and games for customers to use while there.

    The only thing break bar has going is the ambiance. The coffee ended up being a one sip, then tossed.

    Excellent service! My only advice is to come and see for yourself. When we called to ask about a…read morewait, they mentioned there was not wait... part of the reason they do that is because they don't keep a list. You either have reservations or you're a walk in and you stand in line until a table is available for you. At first this was strange, but I think it makes for a better experience. The team was incredible, they were so kind on a day that can be stressful for a small restaurant. We had incredible food. I was so happy to get my Eggs Royale and my husband said the French toast was the best he's ever had. (Even comparing it to French toast in Paris) No notes. This will be our Mother's Day place going forward next time with reservations.

    My partner and I decided to go to the city one weekend and decided we wanted brunch. After looking…read morethrough some place, we came across Sisterita and it looked very promising. It seems like this place is an asian fusion brunch place incorporating french dishes into thai/asian themed dishes which is up our alley. We made a reservation at 1:45 PM and we had to wait for about an extra 30 minutes before getting seated. Initially, I wanted to try their crab fried rice but unfortunately they were out of crab. We decided to get the Alcatraz Escape and the Brioche french toast which were recommended by the wait staff. The staff was generally friendly and accommodating but I can tell they were swamped and stressed out with all the people they were trying to serve. The food itself tasted decent, the Alcatraz Escape had a tasty flavor which incorporates tom yum paste (sweet, sour, tangy flavor) into their scramble with about 4 shrimps. The side of crispy chicken was good but nothing that stood out to us. The brioche was soft but there wasn't much flavoring besides the fruits and caramelized banana. It was served with evaporated milk which made the brioche soft but not adding much flavor to it. The price however was quite pricey. For two dishes as a side we paid around $78 with tax and tip.

    I still love Brenda's!!!!!!!…read more I haven't been back in a few years, but I am happy to report: they are still just as great! It was my daughter's first time and she loved it just as much as I did. We came during restaurant week so we decided to get the Creole Sampler so she could try a bunch of different items. (Sampler included red beans and rice, collard greens, fried catfish, hush puppies, plain beignet and gumbo). We also ordered the beignet flight and shrimp and grits. Plenty of food for the 2 of us, plus we had left overs. I can't not order the shrimp and grits. It's just so damn good! It's so rich and flavorful! It came out SUPER hot. Grits and cheese still bubbling. My daughter and I were both surprised she liked the collard greens. She's usually not a fan. She also liked the red beans and rice and she doesn't usually like beans either. That just goes to show how amazing the food is here! We came in around 4something pm on a rainy Sunday. There weren't many people there, but by the time we left it was more than half full. Service was friendly, and there was a band playing, which was a nice touch.

Let me start with the star of the show - the Shrimp & Grits. The flavors blended so well I did a little dance in my seat. Creamy, savory and delicious! I will be dreaming about the Shrimp and Grits from now on. The Bananas Foster French Toast melted in my mouth. So yummy. I wasn't a fan of the Crawfish Beignets. It was something about the flavor of the red powder/ seasoning that left me underwhelmed. All in all, one of my favorite stops while I was in town.
