    Back in 2004, I was working at 333 Bush St. and this was our favorite salad lunch place. Now I'm on Battery St. and was happy to that this Cafe Venue location was still open. Too bad their Leidesdorff alley location is now closed. The salad chefs there were better and closer to me on Battery St. Today I had their breakfast burrito with sausage, + avocado & sour cream $1.50 = $10.95. O! such good memories! Tomorrow I'll come back and get my old favorites, the chop chop salad or the spinach one. Service was excellent for a counter style restaurant.

    I came in here on a Friday morning at 9:30. There was a 3-4 person line but it went by really quick. They have reasonable priced food for the area! I got a bacon breakfast burrito for around $7. It was a good size and tasted great. Everyone there was so nice! One thing that is a bit annoying is that they do not have a bathroom, but the cafe next door does. I would go here again if I was in the area.

    I visited Cafe Venue on a Monday morning for some coffee and breakfast, and it was the perfect place because of the many options on the menu, as well as the fact that they were less busy than most of the coffee shops directly on Market Street, because of the Warriors Championship Parade. There was a very short line and wait. We ordered breakfast burritos. The worker asked if we wanted guacamole and sour cream when he was making the order. But he never told us it cost $2 extra for either, so I didn't know till I saw it on my receipt. We also got a plain black coffee and an iced mocha. Both were good, not stellar compared to other places, but good. The burritos were nice and hot, and fresh, but the bacon in my burrito wasn't cooked well enough and it was barely cut into pieces, so it was a bit hard to eat. Flavorwise, the burritos were decent, not one of my top burritos of all time, but satisfying nonetheless. Cafe Venue has a nice inviting atmosphere, with both indoor and outdoor seating. And they have a restroom down the hall out the back of the restaurant, shared with the Mills Building on Montgomery. The service was good, except for the food maker not disclosing the extra cost of the guacamole/sour cream. The employee at the register was very friendly. Overall, I was pleased with my visit.

    Oh yes, yes, yes, I know Cafe Venue from their Fremont Street location. I was always in a rush, rush, rush and joining somebody else who was in a rush, rush, rush. Maybe that's why my blood pressure went up when I saw this cafe in a more central FiDi location. But I was in a slow mood because I came in well after the lunch rush to order the $9.29 Asian Market Salad. It certainly wasn't a bad price for the FiDi. It was piled especially high with mixed greens, shaved brussel sprouts, peppers, edamame, carrot, and of course, crispy wonton strips because that's so Asian (photo: http://bit.ly/2TIt9S5). The toasted sesame ginger dressing was a bit much and drenched the salad, but it was still decent enough. The dining room in the back was empty and surprisingly relaxing for 2:30 in the afternoon. I may even come back when I'm not in a rush, rush, rush. FOOD - 3 stars...solid salad albeit pretty wet AMBIANCE - 3 stars...yep, it's Cafe Venue alright SERVICE - 3 stars...fast more than attentive TOTAL - 3 stars...workaday breakfast/lunch FiDi spot suits its purpose RELATED - Lost in the FiDi?

Friendly service and definitely fast service midweek, though seating can be a little tight due to everyone camping out here "working from home". :) I really just wanted something simple like the drip coffee, black, no room, but they were out! Hey.. isn't this a coffeehouse!??? lol So I went for the Mocha and a blueberry scone. The Mocha was on point but I have to say the scone had a remarkable moist and almost airy texture with plenty of blueberries. 5/5 on the scone, 4.5/5 on the mocha. The servers were all friendly and seemed to enjoy being here as much as I was! I would love to come back again anytime I am nearby, especially midweek when there aren't any lines!

Turns out she was right. I had a matcha latte half sweet, and it was delicious- high quality matcha, not too strong or sweet. We did wait about 10min for our order, service is kind but busy. This is a stand nestled in the middle of the Japan Center Mall, so recommend grabbing a sip here and wandering around. Just heads up that many stores don't allow outside drink.
