    Peanut Butter Latte
    Jeanie M.

    This is a charming spot for coffee, smoothies, baked goods, breakfast sandwiches and more. Staff were sweet. Prices were reasonable. The restaurant was spotless (and quaint/small). There's counter seating along the window inside. Tables and chairs are available outside. Food was fresh and good.

    Fresh Mozzarella with Avocado, vanilla latte
    Lasya R.

    Such a cute little hole in the wall cafe! The outdoor seating seriously reminds me of New York, and there's also a few seats inside if you want to sit in. The coffee is AMAZING. I got both a vanilla latte and a regular latte and they were super creamy, delicious, and a really good size. Coffee came out fast too, which I always appreciate. The sandwiches were easily some of the best I've ever had, and it was the perfect breakfast that kept me fueled the entire day. I ordered the fresh mozzarella and avocado sandwich with basil pesto, tomatoes, arugula, and balsamic on ciabatta. I added eggs for extra protein ($2.50 more) and WOW, so worth it. They absolutely load it up!! We did wait a little bit for the sandwiches, but everything was super fresh and made with care. I will absolutely be coming here all the time, and if you live in the area I highly recommend checking this place out!

    Super cute, cozy cafe in lower nob! Stopped by on a saturday morning for breakfast -- decent amount of seating outdoors, but limited tables inside. Lots of coffee, plus different bagels and sandwich options. ordered the following: - matcha latte: quite good and foamy top - the ultimate: this breakfast sandwich was incredible. very flakey croissant, flavorful, filling. the avocado was fresh, and the sauce was delicious - blueberry muffin: fluffy w plenty of blueberries Prices were very affordable and the staff were so friendly. Will definitely be a staple spot for me

    Crostini & Java. I am still glad that i got to stumble upon this cafe. The sandwiches are made with precision and care. Delicious! Their smoothies are amazing! The strawberry smoothie kept me coming back again and again. The owner and the ladies are quite friendly and happy folks. But mind you, this place gets real busy. They have very very limited sitting space including the outdoor sitting so it is on you. lol. Not too pricey at all. Whoever wandering around the city of San Francisco, please welcome! Morning coffee with a spoon of collagen? Early brunch with a smoothie? You get the idea. I am sure you won't be disappointed as much!

    Toasted Bagels with Smoked Salmon and egg **subbed with croissant**

    Super cute corner shop that is really small but offers a variety of items on their menu. They serve breakfast and lunch items all day!! Service: 5/5 Friendly, quick, and efficient service. You'd order at the front and the employees will call your name once your order is ready or come outside to give it to you if you're seated outside. Food: 4/5 French lavender latte - Creamy and strong but I personally lavender was a bit too overwhelming. Smoked salmon and eggs croissant - A little too oily to my liking and small amount of eggs inside, but it was so flavorful that I actually enjoyed it.

    iced peanut butter latter and hot mocha
    Kira C.

    My brother, Lane and I stumbled upon Crostini & Java on our first day in San Francisco on the way to Swans Oyster Depot. We already got coffee that morning, but it was definitely something I wanted to come back and check out since the line was out the door. We came around 11am debating if we were just going to get coffee or also grab something to eat. Since we were short on time we decided to get two sandwiches and eat it there. I had the salmon cream cheese croissant with an iced peanut butter latte and Lane ordered the california crunch with salmon and a hot mocha. I loved the flavor of the peanut butter latte, but there were many sips where I had straight peanut butter. Wasn't a problem, but definitely a bit too much sometimes haha. Lane and I decided to split half half on his sandwiches. Both were humongeous I only ended up eating half of the one I ordered. Delicious and satisfied. Lane mentioned how good his sandwich was and was adding sriracha mayo to it. I had fomo just watching him eat it cause it looked so good. It is very tiny in there with limited seating, but very intimate and homey feeling. Would definitely return if I was ever in the area!

    Breakfast sandwich
    Magda G.

    I wanted to grab a quick coffee and breakfast sandwich and came across this one on Yelp. There is no parking. We had to circle the block before I decided to get out And order while he looked for parking. It's a small location. There's were people waiting outside while they waited for their orders. They have 2 tables with seating outside that were taken at the time and a bar sitting inside near an open window. I placed an order for a large caramel macchiato and a smoked salmon and cream cheese on an everything bagel. The coffee came out with in 5 minutes but the sandwich took about 10 minutes. The coffee was soft in taste. The bagel sandwich was ok. The salmon was primary in one area because I took a couple of bite with no salmon. It was a 3/5.

    ultimate
    Angela K.

    Would 10/10 come back! The ultimate sandwich was amazing. Was easy to eat, the sauce was incredible, and very filling. Food came out pretty quick, despite the line.

    This little spot is well lit, on a busy corner, but it's the perfect hideaway to sit and sip and watch the world hurry by. I ordered a matcha latte and a pain au raisin. Both were perfect and just the taste I was looking for. This place makes a morning in Nob Hill the beginning of a great day.

    Crostini & Java has become my go-to spot whenever I need a quick pick-me-up during my lunch break. I always (and happily) get The Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich -- it's seriously SO good. I usually substitute the meat for chicken and swap the maple sauce for rosemary aioli, and it's perfect every single time. The staff is always so kind and welcoming, and the service is quick and efficient, which is perfect when I'm on a break. They also have a punch card program -- if you buy 9 coffee drinks or 9 lunch sandwiches, you get the 10th free, which is such a nice touch. Such a cozy little spot I'm really grateful to have nearby. Highly recommend!

    The Works Bagel
    Michelle Z.

    Cute small corner cafe with a small amount of indoor and outdoor seating. The sandwich menu is huge and everything sounds yummy! Lots of coffee and smoothie options too. I got the works bagel which came on an everything bagel and had bacon egg avocado and a really good maple dijon sauce! Super big portions and very flavorful and fresh. The sauce was delicious. Reasonable prices too. Service was super friendly and the food was ready quite fast. Would definitely come back for a quick breakfast or lunch!

    Pumpkin Spice Latte
    Heather D.

    Popped in here on my morning walk finally to grab a coffee and, obviously because it's turning into the season, i got a Pumpkin Spice Latte. It was absolutely perfect, and despite it being a busy Sunday morning, it still came out pretty quickly. I will for sure be coming back to grab a quick breakfast here as well, but on the go for sure, there isn't a ton of seating for long term but enough for a quick bite. All in all, such a cute and cozy little spot!

    Pear/egg sandwich

    What I appreciate is that the prices are not outrageous so i will support any business that keeps it real in SF nowadays..

One thing to note is you cannot customize the sandwich, not sure about the pizzas, which smelled delicious. They only make speciality sandwiches on their menu, but surely can't go wrong with any of the choices. They're packed with a sizeable amount of meat as well as greens.

But when you want a sandwich that only tastes like its ingredients, Irving Subs is the spot. Their Dutch crunch is famous for being fresh and actually crunchy. Their lettuce is shredded but fresh and crispy. The salt content is just enough to bring out the flavors. And the overall composition of their sandwiches are very well proportioned. You're not getting skimped, but you're also not biting into a mouthful of a packet of deli meat. They definitely know what they are doing. Service is good and ambiance is a small humble shop on the corner of 12th Ave.

There are other very influential sandwiches at different places in San Francisco but there is a place serving sandwiches with a Korean twist. It also is the main inspiration for a sandwich place in Brooklyn, New York called Mission Social sandwiches. It's located in the Mission District on Valencia street and it's called Rhea Deli & Market. On a Summer stroll in my old stomping grounds I landed at Rhea Deli on Valencia street. Inside you will find lots of bottles of alcohol which usually comes in handy as Rhea Market is a pit stop to load up or re-up on adult drinks to take to Dolores Park. This is the place also to get sandwiches and pair with salty chips like some in SF. They have sandwiches named after famous San Francisco Giants players like the Panda and The Freak #55 which has kimchi. I got the Buster Posey #28 and it had delicious pastrami and packed lots of flavors. It was a bit cheesy like some in SF. Don't forget to grab a bottle of your favorite drink and for me it's the Pinot Noir for Don Juan Pinot Noir and head towards Dolores Park. Make sure you" go " and take a Summer Mission "stroll" and try the Church street a name of a veggie chicken sandwich served on an acme organic " roll " and get it popping with a sandwich with jalapeño poppers called the "Marilyn Monroe" Come to Rhea Deli for some food and get some "alcohol"and make it a trip to the Mission during the four seasons of Spring, Summer, Winter, and "Fall"make sure you don't "stall "because they may run out of the sandwich called the "Booty Call "
