Amazing staff and very good food. Steve and his team are welcoming and friendly. It's very casual, like a cafe in the country.

I've had much better and for me the price is unaligned for what you receive. So my first step of advice if you walk a few more blocks, you can get a little bit better as far as taste the Customer Service was leveled for what you're going to receive. Stopped by Cup & Cake Cafe on a recommendation and ordered the pastrami sandwich. The cafe has cozy, eclectic vibes and looks like a neighborhood staple (clean, quiet, decent grab‑and‑go options), but the sandwich landed flat for me -- I only ate half because it lacked any memorable flavor. If you work the block and need a quick lunch, it's fine, but if you care about bold taste I'd walk a few blocks for something sharper. Not bad, just not my go‑to. read more

I've visited this café a few times, and it's clear they have a lot of regulars. The cashier (possibly the owner) already knows some customers' usual orders, which gives the place a nice, personal touch. The space is cozy, with a few seats in the front area. I ordered a 6-inch Italiano Sub with "the works," but I skipped the onions and added pickles, jalapeños, and pepperoncinis. The sandwich was good overall, but I do wish it had more filling. On top of that, the fillings weren't evenly distributed. Tt was mostly packed in the middle and the ends were lacking in filling. That said, the veggies were fresh and bread was soft, which I appreciated. My total came to $10.70 after tax ($9.85 before tax). Unsure it's related but granted it was the only thing I ate, but I did have stomach issues hours later. read more

This review is long overdue! This is my go-to cafe in the neighborhood. Usual order is the sunrise on a croissant instead of a bagel 10/10 The prices are so reasonable too! There's a reason all the locals come here - she is super nice and somehow remembers everyone's order! Calm and chill vibe - perfect way to start your day :) read more

I love Cup & Cake Cafe! The service is wonderful; everyone who works there is friendly and efficient. The sandwiches and coffee are delicious. The cafe is warm and welcoming, a great neighborhood place. read more

This is my go to spot when I'm running late in the mornings since very few places are open early mornings. Everything is made well and fast and has reasonable prices. It's not extravagant food, but every meal I have there tastes reasonably good and the place is cozy. Everyone is nice. I will return the next time I'm feeling stressed. read more

Sandwiches are epic and just very good!! The bread is soft and fresh, I like the condiments they use, eg: pickles, or pepperocinis. My current favorite is the turkey with bacon and tomato, lettuce, pepperocinis, salt, pepper and vinegrette. They are very nice here, and make your order quickly. The atmosphere is peaceful and quiet. A good place to read or hang out and get some work done. read more

If I can put 0 stars here I would. I don't recommend this place for anyone, I used to like this place because I can eat and enjoy time with a lil girl after the playground, and now they say I can't even come because I don't buy. (which I do buy their drinks/ snacks). Stay away! read more

Fantastic hole in the wall cafe. Everything was great, coffee, Thai tea, bagel w/ cream cheese and sandwiches. Service was quick and everyone was friendly. We will be back! read more

Ambient and cozy cafe filled with plants next to bustling Geary. It's a nice vibe listening to soft piano sitting on a classic old couch and sipping a latte. Geary is always fun to people watch (and car watch, and the occasional fire truck blaring thru). The coffee is simple yet charming, served mindfully by a sweet barista, and as a bonus you can bring your own cup and skip the plastic ones. read more

Convenient and cute cafe filled with plants. The owners (I assume husband and wife), are very sweet and attentive. I usually order my iced oat/almond milk latte and pecan pie (my weakness) and both come out delicious. I usually don't sit and eat at the cafes I frequent however, with all the beautiful plants and chill, quiet vibe it offers, it makes me want to sit and enjoy my coffee. I like it here. read more

Absolutely wonderful place... great tea and coffee, lovely owners, and excellent service. They create a welcoming atmosphere too. 5 stars!

They're going to change the name of the cafe soon. The double latte was super strong! I like being able to stop by for a moment of tranquility after a windy afternoon spent at Rossi park. read more

Very sweet family-run coffee shop. They have a little nook in the back that seats around 12 people--my wellness group meets there. The owners are really nice. Street parking is easy. The bathroom is clean too (sadly this is hard to find in SF!). read more

The workers were so nice and helpful. Seems like a family owned business. The latte was perfect, not too sweet and a good coffee-milk ratio. Straw was way too tall for his cup but look how happy he was anyway. try this place out if you're looking for a quick little breakfast place. read more

I was in the area and stopped here for a cup of coffee. Ps. The cafe is full of plants !! Literally. That is what initially caught my attention. I got a small coffee ($1.50) which was extremely well priced for a nice cup of coffee. It had good flavour and tasted fresh. Note : The minimum card order is $1.00 which is very convenient too. The interiors are designed to be a funky cafe full of books and plants. There was one lady at the counter making all the orders and she is very efficient, not much of a talker. If you want coffee on the go or sit in a quirky space and enjoy it , this would be the place ! read more

Great prices. Chill little spot. Friendly staff. They were playing some nice ambient jazz. My bagel was yummy.

I have been going to this cafe for many years. The owners are hard workers and try to make sure each customer is happy . It is a friendly family owned establishment so please support it during this slow time. They have excellent sandwiches and I especially like the veg I sandwich. There cookies are yummy and muffins too. I generally get an iced tea but have had their mochas and they are good too. I like all the plants in the restaurant - keeps the place fresh and smelling good. It's a great place to have lunch and relax and again it's a neighborhood restaurant which I hope all will support. Give it a try you won't be disappointed. read more

Just discovered this family owned neighborhood gem across from the old Pier One, in the Richmond. Awesome coffee, sandwhiches, and plenty of comfy chairs to work or lounge in. Whenever I see korean bbq in a sandwich, I always get super excited. I've already tried the hot pastrami and the korean bbq bulgogi, yum!!! also giant windows, lots of plants, and the cafe gets tons of light! read more

A cute family owned business, based on what I can tell when I visit. Since I started my new job, this has been my go to cafe for an iced vanilla latte or even a small sandwich. There's never a line and they are always ready to jump in and take your order. The prices are very fair and they have quite a big selection of fresh pastries on a daily basis. Just today I decided to try the tuna sandwich on rye bread and it was a good choice! The bread was toasted and not burnt, which is a common problem. The tuna was very fresh and chunky. The lettuce and tomatoes were also placed inside the sandwich and they were a great addition, without making the sandwich soggy. I paid around$7-$8 dollars and the sandwich was well worth it. I'll be coming back to try another one of their menu items, possibly a panini :D If you're around the area and looking for a quick bite to eat, this is the place to go! read more

So I've been here a couple times in the morning. I've noticed that the old man at the register doesn't change his glove (which he also uses in only one hand) after receiving payment and then goes to touch food. There are two sinks one by the coffee area with soap and the other by the food area which clearly does not have any soap there. Basically he grabs your card or cash for payment. Then he will ONLY rise the hand that's gloved. Rises only with water and no soap. I feel so disgusted I had to write a post on this. If this was 2019 it would only be disgusting but in 2021 with a Covid this is just irresponsible. Not coming back again. read more

Looking for a family friendly morning coffee spot this is the place. Affordable and super tasty, sunrise bagel sandwich was delicious and the coffee was smooth. Friendly staff treats you like your a regular even though it was my first time here. Deli lunch selections looked so good and I was sorry I missed out because we were out sightseeing, pastry selection was a variety of yummyness. I would definitely come back when in the area. read more

I work in the neighborhood and come here for lunch most days. Their sandwiches are always on point, their French roll particularly is super soft. Favorites are the club and turkey pesto, but haven't been disappointed with any of my orders. The staff are so friendly and kind. read more

Found myself over here randomly to hit Chase Bank because it's open on Saturdays, craving a sandwich usually have all my spots all over the city I've never even heard of this place but saw the giant "sub sandwiches" sign in the window and tried it. Totally kick ass Italian sub! Will be back read more

Small family owned cafe! They have great space to work and free Wi-Fi. Breakfast sandwich and latte was terrific, so I went back for lunch another day. Array of sub sandwiches and it was a classic Italian, very good! They wrap it all to go if needed. Drinks, water, Italian soda, tea and coffee. Owners can make adjustments and have non dairy options, vegetarian too. I skipped desert but the pastries looked good. Such pleasant atmosphere and kind owners. read more

Classic, authentic, cafe with a comfortable, calm, eclectic atmosphere. Abundant seating. Inexpensive but excellent quality.

Family run business. Always very courteous when I come in. I love the pastries and bagels. Decent prices.

3 Stars + Clean + Friendly Service + Free Wifi + Accepts Credit Cards + Spacious - Hard to find parking Wayne and I stopped by Cup & Cake Cafe for some dessert after having lunch around the vicinity. Not a huge variety to choose from here but we did end up taking a few desserts home: a princess cake http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/iDm6Y-DCWtH3OXPaY4gbpA?select=ZQVTKn45wjsu0piBLNRgnA, red velvet cake http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/iDm6Y-DCWtH3OXPaY4gbpA?select=iyzcm5KZY3oUMMrtHlo75w, and fruit tart http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/iDm6Y-DCWtH3OXPaY4gbpA?select=Gdlo1tkz2IG6Tf6TbMlWkw. Nothing really stood out for any of the desserts in my opinion. The princess cake was looked pretty, but the cake was dry. The red velvet cake tasted quite bland. The cake was moist but the frosting wasn't as cream cheesy as I expected. The fruit tart was the best out of the three. It wasn't overly sweet and the fruits on top were fresh. Overall, this cafe looks like a great place to relax and enjoy a cup of joe. I'd come back for the free wi-fi but skip on the pastries. read more

We hurried in with high expectations. I've been following Cups and Cakes http://www.yelp.com/biz/cups-and-cakes-bakery-san-francisco#hrid:wy6YxwViIcCd32h6u1U-ww/query:cups%20and%20cakes reviews for awhile now, so even after gorging ourselves on Shabu House, I was excited when I caught a glimpse of Cup and Cake Cafe's sign. We found rock-star parking and ran to the door. Though full from a huge meal, I was willing to stuff my stomach just a tad more - for the sake of cupcake exploration. As soon as we walked in, I knew something wasn't right. The space was big, it was open late, and the woman behind the counter greeted as soon as we entered. But all I could see in their display glass, outside of a couple of cakes, were three lack-luster looking cupcakes. I asked the woman what flavors they had, knowing deep inside that this was not the place I had been salivating for. The woman looked slightly confused and brought out the cupcakes. She did a quick Vanna White display of them, explaining that the vanilla was very popular. We finally decided on a chocolate cheesecake cupcake. The woman beamed as she gave us each a tiny fork to eat with. One bite - and I knew we were in the wrong place. It wasn't horrible, but I have a feeling Cup and Cake could easily share Starbuck's pastry chef. The small cake tasted generic and mass produced. This place is a good find if you're in the area, and need a place to work late at night with free-wi, and some simple menu bites. Just don't put too much faith in their pastries. I'm sure we're not the only people who make this mistake. I noticed another excited man hurry in and order three cupcakes to go, as we were leaving. read more

I love hanging out on my laptop at cafés, sipping a latte. The promise of free wi-fi and panini sandwiches brought me to the new Cup & Cake Café. Cup & Cake - the name makes me think of cupcakes. They have muffins, croissants, cookies (by Ultimate Cookie) and slices of cake (princess, strawberry shortcake, carrot, etc.) for sweets. For savory goods, they have breakfast bagel sandwiches, deli sandwiches and panini sandwiches (3 types: turkey pesto, chicken pesto, ham). The café only occupies half of the space; the other half is not being used. The walls are a warm yellow, the leather chairs are quite comfortable and there are a few electrical outlets within reach. The owners (Asians) seem to like plants (orchids in particular). The free wi-fi is secure, so ask for the password when you place your order. The clientele is decidedly mixed - from teens to older Chinese. I had a medium latte ($3.45) and a chicken pesto panini ($6.95) served on a plate. The latte wasn't so good. The brew tasted like it was made with over-roasted beans; it had a bitter, burnt aftertaste. The panini sandwich made with ciabatta bread was better but it didn't have much pesto flavor. The mayo flavor was stronger. Also, pieces kept falling out the sandwich which I find very annoying. They did add a nice amount of fresh veggies - cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, and red onions. It was made to order and they used roasted chicken pieces (dark meat only I think). If you park in the neighborhoods, the time limit is 2 hours. Restrooms available. Credit cards accepted. read more

Cup & Cake Cafe - chicken panini - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

It's nice to have a local hang out when you're wanting to get out of the house but not wanting to travel too far. While I continue searching for one in my neck of the woods, I've also decided to visit others - so you may find me lurking around your part of town. There is definitely a neighborhood vibe to the Cup & Cake Cafe. During my visit, I saw a couple people working away on their laptops, coeds ordering food to go, and a round table filled with little old ladies drinking tea and sharing snacks. It was nice to see the wide array of people who gather here. I didn't find any outstanding dessert or noteworthy tea. But it does fit the need of providing a sanctuary. As for finding a place to call my own, I'm gonna have to give Java Beach a try. read more
