Coffee was a little too dark. I normally don't need cream or sugar but this was a bitter black coffee. The last sip was a mouthful of grounds. I think they are probably putting too much in the filter, making it bitter and overflowing with grounds. The cashier and other lady working there were very nice though. read more

Thank gd for family owned shops. I was stressed and in a crunch for wifi to get on a super important work call. I didn't have time to order anything before getting on the call and the people here were gracious enough to let me stay to do my thing. Simply for this fact I will be back often and to try all their delicious looking items! Great space for nosh and laptops. The staff and vibe very much reminded me of one of my favorite cafe's in Paris. Thank you for your kindness Beluna!! read more

Such a cute cafe!! If i could give this place more than 5 stars I would. I felt relaxed as soon as I entered, as there was nice jazz music playing. I got my bagel really quickly, within a few minutes, and it was delicious! The chai latte was wonderful as well. The prices are also very reasonable. There's an upstairs area with tables where you can work. Would definitely come back here! read more

The cafe is a cute neighborhood cafe I go to when I need to get some work done. It has WiFi and outlets and ample seating! The only reason I am giving a 4 star is that the drinks are not that great. I think that you are paying to use their WiFi rather than their drinks. But the workers were friendly and the drinks came out quick! read more

I had to find somewhere to wait in between appointments, and this was the perfect spot. When I arrived around 9:30 there were a lot of seats but it was full by 10:30. There's WiFi and outlets, and an overall cozy atmosphere. I ordered a coffee and breakfast sandwich. I loved the sandwich. It's straight up luxurious, how eggy it tasted, and it was so warm and soft. The brioche bun is a genius move. Some might say that it needs more salt but I liked the lightness of the flavor. I only had about half the coffee because I was WIRED. They even bring you your food (props to the guy who has to keep climbing the stairs)! read more

SO glad I checked out this spot. Needed a place to grab a bite and get some work done. It was a quiet Wednesday morning, but the upstairs seating was already full. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Food was good: eggs very fluffy, great aioli, plenty of cheese, and well cooked salmon. Some people took video calls while working, but didn't disrupt the overall volume. If you need to work/read/write and enjoy good service + plenty of light, I recommend this cafe. read more

I came to this cafe because online it described it as a good spot to do work. I ordered a cappuccino and an egg sandwich and I was given a number to put on my table. I sat and started working right away. It took over 20 minutes to get my sandwich and a few more minutes to get my drink. The sandwich was so BLAND! The brioche fell apart and I only had a couple of bites; it was that blah/ flavorless. Coffee was ok; overall not worth the trip I took over here to work. Overall disappointing. read more

Me and two friends went to Beluna on a Friday to get some computer work done outside of the house on a WFH day. We got there around 8am when they opened and they had plenty of seating but it did fill up quickly. They have a whole second floor with additional tables/outlets/free WiFi which was awesome. We worked here from 8 am - 2 pm because the vibes were great and we were super productive. I love all the natural light that comes in through the big windows. The service was great and that extra step of bringing drinks and food to you was really thoughtful. I ordered the lemon poppyseed loaf and an iced vanilla latte in the morning. Later on I got a cream cheese, sun-dried tomato, cucumber, onion bagel. The latte was just okay, but the bagel was delicious and my favorite thing I ordered! One of my friends got the dirty chai and really enjoyed that as well. read more

The orange loaf cake was dense and delicious, and hit the spot with a cup of coffee and bagel sandwich for a few hours of studying at this coffee spot. I enjoyed the ambiance of this coffee shop, and they have chargers, wifi, and a decent amount of tables upstairs. This is a great place to settle in and get some work done.

I wandered into Beluna Cafe on a Friday morning hungry and tired, as all the other coffee shops and cafes I passed along the way were packed to the brim. Interior is bright and clean, and the staff were really friendly. There is a ton of seating available, and they also had an upstairs seating area! They had a selection of pastries at the counter, along with some made-to-order items and drinks on their menu. They also have a specials menu, from which I ordered the egg and cheese croissant. After ordering, I took a seat and waited a few minutes for my order. One of the staff members brought it to me at my table - which I thought was really nice, as most other places call you up to the counter to pick up your order. The croissant itself was perfectly buttery and soft, and the eggs were fluffy. I wish there was more cheese, but the croissant sandwich as a whole was really yummy. I definitely recommend you stop by Beluna Cafe to get some well-needed rest and power-up from the hustle and bustle of Divisadero St.! read more

I started talking to the owner, Bee, when I began painting as I loved her paintings showing in the cafe. She was one of the first people to encourage me and as I got more of a body of work she let me feature my art in her space. It's a joy to see people working and having great conversations next to my art upstairs. I saw the scones recommended here and they are outstanding. I usually have a mocha with whipped cream. So glad Beluna is here as it adds a lot to the community. Bee seems to know many of the people visiting and the spot seems to attract a wide range of people. read more

Plenty of seating for people eating in or staying awhile to do work. Food quality is has been only alright in my experiences... the BLT I had today was 90% bread (small slice even) and mayo. Just a thin slice of bacon which was barely noticeable. I was still hungry afterwards. Wouldn't order it again. Hoping that they can consider feedback as they continue to grow. read more

Parking nearby is horrendous, super busy even on the weekdays before the rush hour so I can't imagine weekends when people are out or other high traffic times. Get ready to make some rounds and pay for parking and be careful since there's very specific signage and times. The cafe itself is cute and cozy. Front area is a gift shop with lots of cat themed gifts and goodies like keychains, stickers, and such, and also some items from local and small artists too, which is neat. The cafe also has community events like movie showings ("The Cat Returns" was one of them which is a great choice) and cat yoga. If you're local, you can also get a time stamp if you are a frequent visitor. Definitely follow their socials for more information. There's reservations online and you can also do walk ins if it's not super busy. You can book for a 55 minute visit or a 30 minute visit. PRO-TIP: There's a discount for students, so if you want to be surrounded by some feline friends while you study or relax, great place to do so. You can hang your coat on the rack and there's a mini shelf area for your shoes. So you gotta walk in with socks! With each visit you can either get a hot cup of tea or a cold can or box drink from their fridge (sparking water, juices, etc.). Very refreshing and you can enjoy it in the cat area too. Sanitize your hands before and after visiting. There's lots of cats hiding around, sleeping, walking around, and some are super friendly and will go into your lap. There's toys you can play with the cats with and there's a wall of adoptable cats. Lots of seats or you can opt to sit on the floor with the cats too. There's relaxing lo-fi music throughout too. Pretty cool that they rescued 2 cats from Qatar and neat that we got to see them. As with all cats, some can be a bit spicy but it's usually just a warning teeth rub. I own cats so there's nothing new. I'm horribly allergic to the cat that specifically lives in my house, but I didn't get an allergy here, meaning that the cats are clean and well taken for.

There was one strawberry tart that was pretty delicious, but that is about it. In terms of service, I'd describe it was poor. The cashier was not super friendly directing us to the check in spot and orders would take awhile. To the point where we had to ask multiple times for the same thing despite only a small number of customers being there at the time.

I've…read moreheard this place has one of the best katsu sando around and as a lover of Katsu, I couldn't skip it. There's some good places in SF like Cafe Okawari. But Katsu is really becoming the new hype of the day for Japanese food, following the Sushi, Ramen, Japanese Curry, Katsu trend. So I came in with a critical view. I feel like Yoshoku in general may be next but I yet again digress. The box sandwich came in a cute little box. The inside was packed so I couldn't get a chance to fully appreciate the cafe, but the service was nice though the pay line may have moved slower than hoped. I'll say this. This is "the" best katsu sando in the bay. The katsu is crispy, but little on the softer side. But this hardness matches perfectly with the absolutely tender, soft, juicy pork wrapped inside. I'm looking at the menu again and it all makes sense. The pork has been in shio koji, making the meat ever so tender while adding the subtle but complicated marinated flavor. The cabbage is plenty, but not over packed to take away from the main Katsu flavor. What really perfects it for me, was not only the sweet and savory katsu sauce, but the mayo with dash of I think a karashi mustard. That slight tingle, the perfect kick gives a powerful awakening of flavor that really sets the it apart. This is art, an artisan. Culinary art is the refuge no raging rampant AI slop "art" can ever hope to touch. Until the day we get some cyborg implant to our brain into gustatory, olfactory functions. Even then, I don't think any tasteless tech bro are hopeless to create anything unique or beautiful.

It makes me feel good to support a business with a good cause! Win-win situation ahaha There's an upstair area alongside the downstair area. They used to provide slippers but recently changed to shoe covers instead. Drinks/snacks should be monitored just in case a kitty accidentally spills yours! The owners/workers are sweet and you can tell they care about the cats here a lot. Drinks are quite nice as well, but I primarily come from the cats. They do introduce new drinks/snacks so the menu doesn't get old for me. At some point, I believe they also offered discounted prices during weekday work hours and a monthly package, but I haven't followed up on the most recent details regarding that :) Glad to see this business doing well and hope to see it around for a long time!

I think we all waited 20 minutes-ish as they rolled out our orders. Because I'm a sucker for desserts, here's what I tried: Pistachio milk cake: suuuuper moist Chicken mustan: warm and savory with shredded chicken on the inside Knafeh cheesecake: Cheesecake Factory could never! Knafeh has grown on me since I first tried it, and I enjoyed this in cheesecake form. Pistachio Baklava: a classic! This was nice and big, like a small pie slice, and was soooo good. They also gave our gathering a Dubai chocolate milk cake and two baklavas for free.

B on the Go

*Dusting off the cobwebs*…read more Not down there but my bookmarks. A savory cafe spin off of THE b. patisserie, B on the Go has been on my list to try since they opened in 2015. I was finally able to visit when I had an appointment around the corner. For those who may not know, b. patisserie is one of the best bakeries in the city from James Beard Award Winning Belinda Leong. She's an alum of Gary Danko and the defunct Manresa. She also owns Routier, a French bistro across the street. M E N U Array of breakfast and lunch sandwiches, everything is house-made (rotisserie meats) including their bread. SF affordable, nothing over $14. Breakfast sandwiches available until 2 pm. They have a limited selection of b. patisserie's bakery items: croissant, scones, and cookies (get their chocolate chip!). Kouign amann is not sold here. Coffee and bottled drinks available. F O O D * Porchetta Sandwich w/ chicharrones, arugula, chimichurri, house-baked ciabatta ($13.75 + $2 double protein): https://tinyurl.com/5u3ybmjv Thin, juicy slices of flavorful porchetta with crackly [chopped] chicharrones cradled by the fresh, crusty soft ciabatta. The bold garlicky, herbaceous chimichurri and peppery arugula cuts through the savory, meaty richness. BOMB. * Braised Pork Belly Breakfast Sandwich: Braised Five-Spice Pork Belly w/ egg, fontina cheese, spicy aioli, potato bun ($12.25) Sorry, no pic as I bought this for a friend. I watched the staff make it and was salivating. Generously thick slice of pork belly crowned with soft, custardy scrambled eggs. S E R V I C E Friendly and prompt. A M B I A N C E Cozy interior with eight tables and chef counter seating (open kitchen). P A R K I N G Very rough street parking. Overall, if you can't get to the Ferry Building for Roli Roti, I think B on the Go's porchetta sandwich is a great alternative and several dollars cheaper too!

2.5 Yelp Stars****…read more I love B patisserie and go there almost every week to get the fancier for my kids and a chocolate chip cookie for my husband. My husband heard the lunches were good at B so I thought it was the lunch menu at the bakery. Turns out there was a B on the Go savory lunch cafe across the street at the corner from B patisserie. Finally decided to try a lunch from here but nothing stood out to me like the one from the B patisserie lunch menu. I ordered the pork belly banh mi. It was the fastest banh mi I ever received, quicker than Vietnamese places. Right then, I already knew not to have my hopes up for a delicious Vietnamese sandwich. As expected, my banh mi was tiny and the bread was not toasted. The guy literally just stuffed the bread and gave me the banh mi. It was missing the pate (legit Vietnamese style banh mi) and slapped on with what tasted like sweet mayo. The carrots were drowned in vinegar so I could taste the acidic component to it. There were only a few pieces of pork belly like a beginner making the Chinese bbq pork aka cha siu. For almost $14 (double the price of most regular Vietnamese banh mi in the city), this was a great disappointment! Definitely would not recommend the banh mi here! However, I would recommend the mushroom cheese panini at B patisserie. I paid $14 a few times for that one because it was tasty. Service here was quick since there were barely any customers. The cafe was relevantly empty and quiet. Not my type of cafe. Most likely would not return.

The location is fantastic, the service was the best, the food was divine, and the value was great! I ordered the raspberry lemonade which came fresh and delicious, and my wife and I split the blueberry mascarpone crunch french toast, the bulgogi fried rice, and the famous millionaire's bacon sampler platter. The French toast was just perfectly prepared and the flavors are amazingly on point. Just the ultimate morning sweet treat! Not joking or exaggerating, the bulgogi fried rice was the best I've ever had, and we have some very good options in Reno, but this was served so perfectly cooked, seasoned, and with the best quality beef that it was immaculate. The beef melted in my mouth where usually bulgogi is very chewy, this was not, just perfection. Then, while I would be guaranteed to return for the bulgogi alone, the millionaire's bacon flight was absolutely fantastic. Each piece of bacon was buttery smooth, extremely flavorful, and absolutely tasty in every way. My wife's favorite was the cinnamon, but I think mine was the original closely followed by the rosemary. The citron was sweet and light, the cinnamon was sugary and savory, the original was saucy and spicy, and the rosemary was fragrant and smoky. I am adding this place straight to my favorites and cannot wait to return. I'd recommend you do the same!
