Wonderful food + drink (pistachio macchiato, croissant, sausage egg and cheese bagel), atmosphere (relaxing Italian cafe), and service (offered to wash our baby's tray for us!). Thank you!

Allan Y.

Was in North Beach walking around and found this little cafe on the corner and decided to get a cup of joe!!! When I walked in was greeted by a gentleman behind the counter, not sure he's the owner of not, he was pleasant. They were a little busy and the cafe was 75% full. I got a vanilla latte, which tasted great, not too sweet. Perfectly made. They have a few options on breakfast pastries and bagels sandwiches. Almost everyone in there had a bagel sandwich, must be good. I will have to try when I'm in the area next time. There are some historic photos on the wall, I thought that's pretty cool.

Everything from the friendly people to the yummy food makes this place a "this is our spot" kind of cafe. We tried the lattes, cappuccinos, fresh egg sandwiches, macaron, and cannoli. 10/10 no notes on all. Really appreciated that the owner remembered us and was so friendly.

I was looking for a coffee place close to the restaurant I was to have dinner at. I found the business on Yelp and decided to grab a caramel macchiato (hot) and a cold brew while we waited for our dinner reservation. The drink was exactly what I needed, a quick pick me up, the balance between coffee and milk was perfect. The cold brew was just as you'd expect as well, very smooth and no harsh bitter aftertaste. The exterior has a red banner so it's easy to spot several blocks away. It's right across the street from the laundromat. The patrons were either students, or people waiting for their laundry. The cafe inside is quite small but ample seating inside and outside. Overall great spot for coffee!

This little spot is deceiving.. doesn't look like much from the outside, but this was one of the best sandwiches I've had in years (no exaggeration). I ordered the turkey avo BLT but with no bacon (don't judge), and an Americano that tasted great. Staff was so kind, and while the food and coffee took a while, it was definitely worth it. I ended up working here for a couple hours and because it's a smaller spot, noise level was fine and everyone was respectful of those working. Great wifi too!! Highly recommend!!

Small cozy cafe tucked away in North Beach, not on a busy street. Came here to work a bit and the ambiance was good for working -- not too loud, not crowded on a Friday afternoon, lots of seating both inside and outside, and they have a clean restroom. Not sure if there is free wifi (I didn't ask). Got a chocolate babka to snack on and it was very good! A little pricey (just under $7) but filling and delicious. Lots of drinks on the menu and pastries too. Their sandwich options looked really good as well! Owners were friendly.

Rachael E.

The bagel was good, the rest of it was bland. We took it to go to eat by the water and regretted that immediately when I realized there was no seasoning on the eggs. The eggs were also dry and it needed a sauce. Very dissapointed and the prices were very high for what you get.

Turkey and Avocado BLT Sandwich, Iced Matcha Latte, Pistachio Macchiato

We recommend the turkey and avocado blt sandwich, it tastes amazing and filling. The owner is very friendly and kind. The aesthetic of the shop is really nice and inviting. We also ordered an iced matcha with vanilla and caramel and it was delicious. Best matcha I've ever had. Definitely recommend eating here over any other cafe in the city. Amazing experience.

Went in here because we saw it while driving by, the man at the counter was super quick and helpful!! Got a cafe au lait, hot chocolate, a butter croissant, and a chocolate hazelnut croissant. The croissants were delicious and we loved our drinks!! It was nice and cozy inside and had all the relaxing ambiance you'd hope to get for a cafe. The patio tables outside had a nice breeze as well.

Great spot--it's our go-to weekend place. The sandwiches are tasty, and the salads are fresh with perfect portions. The place has a nice European vibe, and the owner is super kind and helpful.

Stepping into this Italian-style coffeehouse feels like entering a cozy little corner of Italy--minus the passport stamp. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with soft, quiet music playing in the background that sets a peaceful tone from the moment you walk in. The drink selection is authentically Italian, featuring bold espressos and silky cappuccinos that are clearly made with care and tradition in mind. There's a charming bakery section off to the side, where golden cannolis and other classic baked treats tempt you with their sweet aromas and flaky perfection. The staff add to the magic--friendly, personable, and genuinely happy to chat or help you discover your new favorite blend. Whether you're curling up with a book, meeting a friend, or just grabbing a pick-me-up, the experience here leaves you feeling refreshed and subtly delighted--like you've just uncovered a local secret worth savoring. Want to name this place or turn the review into something more stylized, like part of a travel journal or foodie guide? I'm brewing up ideas if you are.

A sweet little gem of a cafe was exactly what we needed after walking through a sea of chains for breakfast. Located on a corner in a quiet neighborhood, it gave "locals love this place" vibes that made me want to stay awhile. Alas I had 2 loud teens with me that would have disrupted the quiet morning crowd so we got our breakfast to go(this had been the plan anyways). Our group ordered 2 bacon egg and cheese bagels(needed cream cheese but that's the consumers fault for not reading the menu carefully, otherwise each element was yummy, especially the bagel) and 2 avocado toasts( delicious, even had a drizzle of olive oil, tasted like mine at home, and that's hard to beat). We waited for our food on the bistro tables outside and people watched, it was a lovely early morning experience for all.

Best breakfast sandwich in SF - lived here for 3 years and have been looking for a great spot for years. Freshly cracked eggs, delicious bagel, bacon is perfectly crispy. Will be back many times

Caffe Capriccio is in a more residential, quieter part of North Beach, so even if you live here, it's easy to miss. But wow, shame on me for having lived here this long and just been going "oh, we should try this place sometime," because I love everything about it. The smooth jazz playing in the morning, the yellow tables outside rattling because the noisiest thing about the street is the occasional car driving by, and the friendly, charming staff make this cafe one of the best in the area. During our last visit, we got a bagel sandwich and some iced coffees, and they were amazing: - Bagel with Egg, Cheddar, and Sausage: the bagel was warm and chewy, the eggs were softly scrambled, and the sausage was surprisingly well-seasoned and juicy. Overall, it was a delicious sandwich and it has convinced us to come back. - Iced Mocha: it's not overloaded with ice, and proportions of chocolate, espresso, and milk were perfect. The chocolate was quality, and mochas here are my new favorite drink. read more

I stopped by for a little refreshment and I was so happy that I did. Such a cute neighborhood spot. They served me the best iced latte I've had in quite some time. You can actually taste the espresso, and the oat milk was delightful. Loved it! The beignets were a sweet treat that I savored in the afternoon sunshine in Washington Square Park. I really enjoyed the three fillings: vanilla, chocolate, and Nutella. The perfect accompaniment with my coffee. Service was stellar. Very friendly and welcoming. A must-try!

First off, I think it is completely unfair for someone to give a negative review because hours are not updated! Or for that matter because the price was what you consider high. The prices are clearly posted. This place is such a gem. The food always fresh and delicious. Clean and airy with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I come here about once a month when I'm working in the area. It never disappoints. The only thing I would caution is that it takes a little long to get your food, but I promise it is worth the wait. read more

I really wanted to adore this cafe because by the looks of the exterior, it looks like such a posh neighborhood cafe that I can see myself supporting. While the staff here is nice and they offer a decent selection of breakfast and lunch options, the execution left me unimpressed. I ordered the egg and cheese bagel which has egg, melty cheese, and roma tomato encapsulated in a plain bagel. Sounds tasty enough--I've had a million bagel sandwiches in my lifetime and expected this one to be decent like the rest. My sandwich looked really sad! It was the thinnest bagel sandwich, the egg was super flat and the cheese barely melty. The tomato wasn't roma. I had to ask for Tapatio to douse my sandwich. The Cafe Nutella also left me unimpressed. I wish it would have had a more velvetty nutty flavor but it was flat. The iced chai here however is frothy creamy and delicious! The breakfast parfait was decent but for that price I could go to Safeway down the street and make my own. I'm all about supporting local small businesses so I'll give them a try again so long as the offerings don't look like something I could whip up myself. read more

The restaurant is beautiful with a lot of natural light, perfect ambiance for a brunch. They even had Mother's Day themed napkins which I thought was very nice. I really enjoyed the Lapisara burger though it's so humongous that it's actually a bit challenging to eat haha. The chicken and waffles were also very solid. I thought the Tom Yum burrito was a bit uninteresting. It was just a lot of rice wrapped up in a tortilla, the tom yum sauce it came with was good but it wasn't enough to make the dish amazing for me. Overall, excellent experience, I would highly recommend for a cutesy brunch.

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.

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.

My husband and I's favorite place to eat in the world is New Orleans so this place definitely did not disappoint. We started with coffee drinks, I had some sort of boozy espresso drink which I could have done without since the bitters tasted like licorice which is probably a taste preference. My husband had the grandma coffee which was also fine. Then the food came out and it went up from here! The catfish & grits just might be the best I've ever had. My husband also really enjoyed his banana foster French toast, & i loved that they allowed you to get one piece of fried chicken because i had to try it out despite a full meal. The wing I had was Nice & crunchy with a delicious sweet sauce on the side that reminded me of mambo sauce ( a DC staple.) My husband also had the gumbo which was good but I wouldn't say our favorite. I prefer my gumbo with a little more spice but that could just be personal preference. We ended the meal with beignets: I had the ube beignet which was so unique & flavorful! I don't think I would have had a chance to try that type of beignet anywhere else so glad to try something different, it was delicious. The crawfish beignet was also so flavorful! The beignets in general were much more bready than typical beignets but still very good & unique to this place. On top of that, the service was great & the food came out quick, hot & fresh! I wish we had more time (& stomach space) to try other items on the menu, everywhere we looked everything looked delicious so we'll just have to try more the next time we're back in SF!

The place is a little cramped, but we were able to wait inside until the whole party was there to be seated. It was a good place for a group dinner. The cocktails are cheap for San Francisco, and the beer selection is decent. And the food is dense and delicious without being too heavy. I shared the catfish with crawfish etouffee (special), the gumbo, and a dungeness crab beignet with my boyfriend. We also ordered some banana cream pie for the table, which was a huge hit.

I'm pretty sure they're deep fried because these were very decadent (you should try dipping them in syrup). The fluffy pancake was so-so. If you're a big lemon person you might love it. For me, I prefer very flaky pancakes. Eggs were cooked great and bacon more on the crispier side. The chicken burger/sandwich was amazing. The fried chicken was more "karaage" style. I think they might use rice or tapioca flour because it was very aery. I think I would get that next time over the plow breakfast but both were good. Wait was pretty long but dog friendly. Service was good too. Definitely expect to wait 30 min to 2 hrs. Enjoy some coffee nearby (Farley's, Linea's).

I went to Cafe Cappricio last night and must say I was extremely impressed with the atmosphere, the menu selection and the waitstaff. I had heard of this restaurant through several friends but this was the first time I had gone. We were a table of 4, each having an appetizer, entree and dessert. The appetizers were sufficiently sized for one, although we each had a taste of each others plates. Our entrees ranged from a homemade pasta dish, a vegetarian selection, a seafood choice and a beef option. All were delicous. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and taste of the grilled tuna. Our server Jennifer was engaging and attentive. When asked for a wine recommendation, she asked us several questions regarding our palettes and the bottle selected was perfect for all. This is a rare breed of server that takes the time to engage and listen. I would definitely return again. Liked: Food, Service, Atmosphere, Value, Decor read more

Best of the best I follow coffeeratings.com so when I read their review of Cafe Capriccio I naturally wanted to see why they named it 8th out of more then 600 San Francisco coffee establishments. Where they ever on the mark when they wrote, "Approaching this North Beach café, you wouldn't think it would be much different from the others nearby - but you'd be wrong. The espresso here is a real standout in the neighborhood, coinciding with the ownership change in late 2008 to Alex and Jessie. ... Using an organic Ecco Caffè espresso blend and a new three-group Nuova Simonelli, they pull pretty shots with mottled dark brown crema with reddish flecks.... A shot close to our hearts ... (a true espresso blend), smooth, shows pungent strength, and finishes with a sweeter edge. A very pleasant surprise, and one of the finest espresso examples in town." read more

I was nervous about the change of ownership. But also kind of exited since I wasn't a big fan of their food before. So after this cafe just reopened I was pleasantly surprised about the changes. First I was bummed that they changed the coffee brand. But I do have to admit that the new one is even better. Nice and strong, exactly how I like it. The ambiance is SO much better and the sandwich I tried today was great (prosciutto). The granola I tried in the morning was made with a mix of fresh berries and very tasty as well. It really has potential now to be a nice wine/evening hang out as well. They just could have turned the music a bit louder since all you could hear was a weird bass sound. The couple that runs it is super sweet, so I hope for the best. read more

I discovered this place during my first week after moving here from NYC. It made me really, really homesick. I travel quite a bit and have seen what goes for Panini in many places. Most of them miss the , excuse me... soul of a true Panini. New York seems to be the exception. Seems like you can throw a rock in any direction of any borough and hit a place that serves a great authentic one. Cafe Capriccio gets it right and combining that fact with the free wi-fi, the cozy, non-frenzied atmosphere and great shots make it a favorite place of mine to just hang and decompress.Some of the other reviews comment on the prices but hey...this is San Francisco after all. In that context, Capriccio seems pretty reasonable to me. read more

You're always greeted with a smile, making each visit feel like catching up with an old friend. Highly recommend! read more

The owner is rude and disrespectful to his customers and shows no patience and respect to first time visitors. There is reason why there are negative reviews about this and I can confirm it's true. His reply on these reviews speaks for themselves - he will learn hard lessons on this in long run and I would not expect any changes from him but just leave a comment here for others reference. read more

Skip this place. The food is so so and the service slow. I saw a customer told to take the sandwich that was presented to her even though she didn't order it and doesn't eat ham!! When she said so they made her wait another 20 minutes for a sandwich. This is customer service - like it or lump it? Plus the guy behind the counter gets rather nasty and rude. Very bad experience read more

This was the first place I ate when I got to San Francisco. Minus three stars because my bread was a little too 'chewy' (still can't quite describe it), but plus one star because the folks behind the counter were so nice. In fact, they still waved at me and said hi whenever I walked by for about a week after my first visit. read more
