Interior The Venue
Mike R.

This Cafe is located near Kaiser and UCSF Mission Bay Womens and Childrens Hospital. It a counter service with friendly staff and lots of inside & outside seating. I had a Cranberry & Turkey sandwich on ciabatta Beard and my wife had tuna melt. My was very fresh and delicious. I think we found a new place after working out and Rutter Center UCSF Recreation Fitness Center on Owen Street!

Breakfast Burrito
Jessica J.

at a base cost of $8.55 for a breakfast burrito, cafe venue piqued my interest. their burrito comes with scrambled egg, potatoes, cheese, salsa, and meat. i added chorizo (+$1) and avocado (+$1.50) which brought my total to $12.44 after tax, which still isn't bad. they gave me an option of mild or spicy salsa, but sadly no part of the burrito was spicy, not even the chorizo. i see the appeal, esp for the price, but definitely not my favorite breakfast burrito in SF. it's a decent option if i'm in the area, but it didn't feel as filling as other breakfast burrito I've had lately either. ordering was also a little confusing for my first time. order at the counter in the back and then pay at the register by the door!

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?

There was a lot of natural light in the coffee shop, definitely a visually-appealing, 'aesthetic' place. I got an iced red tea and it was delicious. The tea was botanical, smooth and fragrant.

It seems like there's also an upstairs but did not get the chance to check it out. I got an iced latte with their almond macadamia milk, and they're also so nice to do complimentary cold brew! So we got an extra drink for free. Trying the iced latte, it was pretty disappointing lol. I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.

(i sound like an american health influencer...oh wait i am american). anyway they're a bit too sweet but the frangipane tastes good. the plain one is boring in a bad way. pain suisse is okay too. it's ironic that their best croissants are the day-old ones since they are twice baked with frangipane pumpkin bread was pretty good! again a bit too sweet but spice and pumpkin came in strong like pow pow. bostock was good too - my first time. again a twice baked pastry except it's brioche and the syrup is passionfruit. the fruit flavor was slight but i wish it was stronger. super interesting to eat though i also wish that the heat and freshness of the pastries didn't vary so wildly. some days they're cold as frozen peas and other days they're nice and crispy and warm and fluffy and fireplace-y and hot-mug-y. sorry i have a lot of wishes. unfortunately big B may not be able to satisfy them. i wish i can go back to try the black sesame one but i'm too broke and i have an astronomically low attention span so i can't wait in line

I can't believe it's taken me this long to finally try Stonemill Matcha, but I can now agree with…read moreeveryone else that it is definitely worth the visit if you love matcha. Since Stonemill opens at 10 AM, I arrived around 9:40 AM. Shortly afterwards, a long line started to form behind me. Once inside, my friend and I placed our matcha orders and were seated in a cozy nook by the window. Despite the steady flow of customers throughout the morning, our drinks were brought out in about ten minutes. My matcha latte with oat milk was served in a large ceramic mug, and it was certainly one of the smoothest matcha lattes I've had in SF (where there is no shortage of contenders!). The matcha itself was slightly earthy, and the latte had a hint of sweetness to balance the flavor. I did not order food this time, but I saw several people around us order the Japanese breakfast set and matcha cream pie, which I will have to try on my next visit. Despite the constant line to enter the cafe, the ambiance inside remained relaxed and welcoming, perfect for savoring our matcha.

Ordered their iced matcha latte with oat milk, unsweetened as well as an iced hojicha latte with…read moreoak milk, unsweetened. Getting a pretty basic, straight forward matcha or hojicha beverage is always a good way to tell how a store's quality of matcha is. Of course just a plain matcha like usucha is a better way of telling but I like mine with oat milk. Upon first sip of the matcha latte, I could tell immediately that the matcha quality is of very low grade. It was extremely bitter even with the oat milk which was unfortunate. I sipped on it on my walk home and once I was back, I added more oat milk to the cup. That's how bitter it was! On the other hand, the hojicha latte was quite alright. Nothing to write home about but I didn't have to make my own alterations for that one. I'd come back for a hojicha latte but definitely not for their matcha. I can make it better at home..using a high quality powder.

Coffee is great and staff is always super welcoming and have attention to detail. I always stop in for a bag of freshly roasted beans and doing so gets you a free cup of drip coffee or cold brew. The only thing that is slightly inconvenient is the constantly long line to order. On the bright side once you order you get your drink right away regardless of what you order. It's a solid assembly line operation they got going. Especially in my case when I typically only get a bag of beans to-go I wonder if they could change the system to allow me to forgo the line altogether, that would be a pleasant change. Anyways I highly recommend this coffee shop! High quality all the way around!

It was nicely spiced, smooth, and made with House made macadamia almond milk. Delightful!

On my question if I can have a spoon was short "right there" not even pointing me any direction.

What a shame, I don't expect 5 star service but simply splitting ice cream, giving me a spoon or just pay any attention to me as a customer would be enough for those tips that they asked upfront. Lesson learned, never again, although we are in this mall often.
