    Cabinet of Baked Goods

    Quaint Cafe with its own charm. Friendly staff and excellent croissants. Quick walk from nearby hotels and a way better breakfast experience.

    Cute & Conveniently located on the ground floor by 490 Post. This little Francophile coffee shop serves coffee, tea, sandwiches and nice little desserts to both Union Square tourists and locals alike. Friendly service and cozy ambiance. Located on Post and Mason.

    PB Java Mocha Smoothie is what I ordered. I enjoyed it since it had a strong smooth PB taste. I couldn't taste too much of the Java. This is the most expensive drink here. $10 but it is large. The ambiance is cute because this is a small hole in the road. They sell food. Coffee and teas and cold drinks. One lady working and my drink took the longest time to make because it's complex. She was nice and answered my questions. I might come back

    Excellent coffee! Nice comfy seating. Cozy shop. Friendly service. Reasonable prices. Excellent local spot for coffee, sandwich and a nice dessert. Great spot to hang out before your mezzanine show.

    Cafe Encore has tasty smoothies and I would come back to try other items on their menu. My group all got smoothies consisting of PB Java mocha smoothie, fruit smoothie and a raspberry smoothie add peanut butter. The service was good, not the fastest but the team did their best to get our smoothies to us quickly. I'd suggest switching to frozen fruit for smoothies vs fresh fruit and using ice. I prefer my smoothies with a dairy free milk option and frozen fruit. Check out Cafe Encore if in the area.

    Flipping love this cafe. I usually get a sando but today this Martinelli's satisfies my morning craving. Plus I only purchased it because the apple juice is in a glass bottle. Service is decent. Ambiance is chatty but relaxing especially whenever I'm just killing time before an appointment or for Union Square to open.

    I came into here because I had some time to kill and wanted a pastry. The place is very small but cute. I liked the jazz music playing and they had some beautiful desserts on display. The women behind the counter weren't particularly warm or welcoming, but they weren't rude either. As others have said, this place mainly seems to cater to the grab and go audience. I ordered a blueberry muffin and found it decent. This place isn't bad, but I think I'll try the place next door next time instead.

    Located right off Union Square, this gem has a very Euro vibe. We stayed at a boutique hotel steps away and in 24 hours, carried out coffees and pastries. The breakfast sandwiches were delicious. No photos. The camera didn't eat this morning. Haha! Reasonable prices for San Francisco!

    This cafe is near the tour bus stop...I got a chocolate designed mousse cake for breakfast and a drink..hadn't seen this cafe on Post Street..hidden away with chairs and people..been here awhile. Tourists or locals..fun to try..

    I was exploring the union square and was walking around the area. I decided to get something from this cafe and choose a Quiche. It tasted really good I had to make a review for this small Cafe. Also the staff were so nice and welcoming. With the chill music and clean place I would recommend it to anyone who is visiting the city this summer.

    Hazelnut Latte

    Got the hazelnut latte, and I didn't taste any hazelnut nor coffee taste at all. Halfway through my coffee, I decided to take a peek, and the color of the coffee was really light as opposed to the natural tan color of coffee. A bit hard to tell from the photo. The place was conveniently located near the Union Square, so that part was nice.

This…read morehas a base of Açaí­, Pitaya Dragonfruit, Coconut Beach, and Blue Butterfly Pea Flower Chia Pudding with Toppings ofHoney Almond Granola, Strawberries, Blueberries, Banana, Goji Berries, Cacao Nibs, Almond Butter, and Date Honey. I went in with lower expectations because açaí bowls never feel super special, but this one had so many different textures with the goji berries, granola, chia seeds, etc. I loved how the base was also layered so you got a whole mix of flavors. The small initially looked tiny, but it was actually quite filling. Will definitely come back if I'm ever craving something refreshing and fruity!

    I've enjoyed acai bowls from Palmetto at their other locations, so it's a treat to see Palmetto…read moreSuperfoods open up a new store right here in Stonestown. The Palmetto here is located just inside the main entrance right next to Blaze Pizza. Walk up to the order station and let your choices be known! No fear, as the service here was attentive and courteous when I went. My usual is the generic "Just Acai" bowl to which I can add whatever toppings I want, which are usually the honey almond granola, strawberries, but I just skip the final "finishes" - maybe that's just me. Works for me! Typical Mall vibe here, with just a couple of small benches to sit down to enjoy your treats in front, or head up to the food court upstairs to consume. All in all, one of the better places for an acai bowl or smoothie.

This location is really close to my work, which was great. I stopped by on a Tuesday at 1:30pm and there were only a few customers inside. I like the simple decor and the big menu on the wall, it reminded me of Hawaii. I ordered the original gangster and waited less than 5 minutes before it was ready. The açaí was not too sweet (just how I like it), and I loved all the toppings that came with it such as the granola, banana, blueberry, coconut shavings, and honey. The strawberry was a bit too tart but other than that, everything was great. I think I've found my favorite açai spot in the city. I can't wait to try other flavors next time I stop by.

    I love Bowl'd Acai! I remember going to their food truck pre-pandemic by Salesforce Tower…read more Their acai bowls are fresh, high quality, and large portions. I find the Green Goliath to be pretty unique, as well as the Original Gangster. I love the light, airy, and plant-filled interior. They also have some good "happy hours" for cheaper poke bowls, acai bowls, smoothies, and bone broths. Service is kind, friendly, and efficient. I love this location in Nob Hill? Polk Gulch? Very bikeable, walkable, and bus-able.
