with the help of the cashier, I ordered the tia maria and it was 10/10 they have hot sauces on the side which was great and they were relatively fast. I got avocado in the burrito- imo super worth it read more

This shop is tucked away at the end of the hall inside the Kaiser building on my way out. I got the viejito latte. Pro is that the coffee is strong, but the drink tastes flat with the milk and weak caramel flavor. read more

Prices are very fair especially considering it is in SF +1 star for that, I got the OG breakfast burrito, it was a bit smaller than I expected but not horrible, taste was ok, nothing to rave about, just your average breakfast burrito, service was friendly and quick read more

Stopped in to work here before a doctor appointment. Got a viejito latte and it was perfectly sweetened. The ladies working were very nice and quick. There are no outlets but a few people were also working - probably more of a grab and go place. It's attached to a Kaiser building so I assume it picks up during shift changes and such. read more

Found this place as I was trying to look for a quick breakfast spot and couldn't be more satisfied :) I ordered an iced latte with avocado toast. The egg was optional but of course I said yes to the option! I really enjoyed the spice added on top as this was my first time eating avocado toast this way. It was different but still super good!! The workers were super kind and service was fast considering how many people were ordering since it's close to the hospital. read more

I popped in to try the el sancho (chorizo breakfast burrito) with added avocado. This burrito comes with chorizo, black beans, eggs, hash browns, and pico. It dies not come with cheese. I really wish they would include a hot sauce. Most breakfast burrito places do that. I enjoyed the burrito and it is filling, has browns are crispy, it's a good one. I want to try the plantain burrito next. To place an order you walk up to the counter and order and wait for your number. Probably takes about 10-15 minutes to get food. There are places to sit and eat if you prefer to dine in. read more

When I figured out that Emmita's is the sister cafe to Breakfast Little in the Mission- I swiftly added this to the "try soon" list. This location mostly serves the nearby health care workers and is by no means a destination brunch spot but the food is tops. The Zeus is my favorite breakfast burrito in the city- steaming hot, soft and slightly runny scramble eggs, spinach, peppers and Greek yoghurt. I left out the usual hash brown which makes it pretty healthy, right? I'm a bit suss on pre-prepared burritos that sit for hours until eaten. Not the case here - they are made to order- griddled right before your eyes. Their pan de sal breakfast sando is also a solid choice. read more

The service was smooth and efficient, the location is central and easy to get to, the space itself open and welcoming, and the prices were great. I got the Tia Maria breakfast burrito, with chorizo added, which was so tasty; I absolutely love fried plantains in a burrito. I also got a Vampiro Picante, a sweetly refreshing drink made with oranges, carrots, beets, ginger, and cayenne juice. What a great way to start out my day. read more

If you frequent Quest/UCSF (like myself, unfortunately), then you will have passed by Emmita's probably a million times. It's a good spot for a little treat after a doctor's visit, which is how I wound up here. The breakfast burrito is standard and solid. Sadly, extra garlic aioli costs extra, so we just added some sriracha. The sausage, hash browns, and (added) avocado make for a filling breakfast that's hard to be bad! It wasn't the best I've ever had, but definitely not bad at all. Service was fast and friendly, so it makes a good pit stop before or after your medical appointment. They also have smoothies, coffee, and juice that looks decent! read more

I was shocked to see some of the same menu items at this cafe as breakfast little in the mission! I love the breakfast burritos from bfast little but for some reason they don't always hit the same here at Emmitas... I still like supporting them because the staff is very nice and it's usually easy to call an order in to pick up on the way to work (except for one time where their phone line was down for months) read more

My señorita latte this morning was everything I could ask for. I needed something to brighten up my morning and this did it. I'm literally so satisfied I had to write a review. Love these ladies! read more

Pleasant environment, our burritos were awesome! I got the OG burrito and my friend got the Tia Maria. We both loved them. Workers are friendly. I also got the veijito latte which was delicious. My friend got the orange juice, he said it was super fresh. 10/10 read more

This was my first time, and boy was it delicious! I got the morning bagel and orange juce(which is freashly squeezed!) and my dad got the sausage breakfast burrito and black coffee. The food was really good, and the service was even better! I didn't catch her name but the girl who helped us was super nice and friendly! Would definitely go again! read more

This is probably my favorite find of the year. They have some kind of arrangement with "breakfast little" in the mission cause it's basically the same menu. I'm going to guess it's in the same family. If you know of breakfast little then you know this place is amazing. I've only had their burritos and they're all fantastic. I think the Tia Mia is my favorite but the OG and all the others are solid. I found this place by accident. It's a surprising little café at the bottom of the Kaiser building. It's basic and clean inside, never really busy as far as I can tell. The staff are totally friendly, efficient, and solid. read more

Was in the area around lunch time when I found this little cafe. I tried the vanilla latte and breakfast little sandwich. The coffee was a bit too strong, however, the sandwich was really good. I asked for sausage instead of bacon and it was really good - perfectly cooked sausage and eggs with cheese. The cafe is small but looks clean and the staff is also friendly. There were ppl in the cafe but it wasn't busy, so also a good place to do some work. read more

Emmita's is attached to the Kaiser Permanete building. Across the street is UCSF. Sorry to say, The place gave me the willies. Aesthetics 1 star. Strong smell of cleaning product by checkout. I think it's coming from the lobby. First thing inside the door is garbage receptacles on the left, sandwich assembly counter on the right. The almost empty refrigerated case sports 1 watermelon & a pile of oranges. Emmita's must do a rocking business at lunchtime, didn't see any other cafe nearby. The menu includes juices, take-out sandwiches, oatmeal & breakfast burritos. I ordered the avocado toast. Second cafe I've been to that said they didn't have any bread (?), but they did have wheat, sourdough or bagels. (??) I chose the sourdough. Pretty average store bought taste. I was disappointed that the bread was not toasted, I mean it's called Avocado Toast. I'll give that a pass, the avocado was good, perked up a bit with some chili oil. Definitely regret ordering a side of bacon. Four strips of limp, greasy, extra fatty gut bombs, went right through me, if you know what I mean. Im writing this to manage expectations. Emmita's is not destination dining, but from what I saw, popular with the local seniors, hospital workers & patients. From the other reviews i learned the owner is well liked & has loyal customers. Perhaps Emmita's is worth a second chance & updated review. That's my story. If you're nearby, in need of a sandwich... Support Local! read more

Pan de sal was amazing, I could eat rocks with that bun. Appreciated the chopped sausage mixed into the egg read more

Emmita's Cafe - Breakfast sandwich - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

Lovely little restaurant located on the first floor of the Kaiser medical building at 1635 Divisidero. It gives me retro cafe vibes with soft music and gentle chatter. The food was provided in large quantity, fairly rapidly, and was incredibly tasty. Great bang for your buck if you're in the area. The only downside is the service. One of the ladies continues to be inpatient, non-responsive, and immense attitude when asking for little things such as extra sauce. Good spot, would certainly come again and update the rating as the service improves read more

I had the burrito with black beans and chorizo and it was one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. Definitely exceeded my expectations. The lady at the counter was super nice too and answered all of my questions read more

Located on the ground floor of Kaiser on Geary, Emmita's is the place to go for a quick pre- or post-doctor's-visit treat. 5/5 for convenience and location, especially if you frequent UCSF or Kaiser, and 3.5/5 for food. They're known for their breakfast burritos so definitely give them a try. I got their Zeus burrito (red pepper, spinach, scrambled eggs, Greek yogurt, hash browns, wrapped in a flour tortilla) and I was happy to see it was made to order. Literally had to hold the burrito with napkins wrapped around the foil and had to quietly blow on the burrito because it came straight off the pan and was so hot. Absolutely zero complaints about freshness. I wish the burritos, or at least the Zeus burrito I got, were more seasoned. It was good, albeit plain. There was maybe only a little bit of salt to season the eggs and perhaps 2 tablespoons max of Greek yogurt. I would have loved to see more spices (paprika, garlic?) and more Greek yogurt. They also didn't have any spinach but they were happy to sub for more eggs. They were also out of Cholula :( More seasoning + freshly stocked sauces would push food up to a 4/5. Emmita's has personality! They had some energetic Latin music playing when I visited (10am on a Wed morning) and there was a decent level of chatter among the patrons. Ambience and decor is pretty casual. Not a great place for large groups, however -- most of the tables are meant to seat 2; there is a single large table in the center of the cafe where customers are free to sit if they don't mind sitting next to strangers or sharing the table with other groups. There is some bar seating near the window but those seat maybe 4-5. read more

Service is kind of meh... the older lady at the ordering counter was nice but the one who prepares your food is absolutely rude as all heck. I asked her for some hot sauce and she rolled her eyes and said "which one do you like" and flew threw the options I couldn't understand her so I asked for the one with the green label and she said WHICH ONE and mumbled something in Spanish and I could tell she was just annoyed with my existence that's when the older lady came over to help but my God the younger one is so aggressive, doesn't smile and makes you wish you never walked into these doors. Sandwich was okay... as you can see in the pic it's mostly just bread. Not well proportioned. I ordered the plain black iced coffee so nothing special to note. Just a horrible way to start your morning coming here. Would not recommend. read more

We the service here is just not good. I brought my own cup for a refillable coffee and they measured it using g a large cup and said I couldn't get it filled to the top I had to drink it and then ask for refill. I don't do half and half I do oat milk so I asked for some and they said next time they'll charge me and she poured for me and told me no more lol. I paid $9.99 for the first burrito but did nothing but egg and they didn't want to sub the hash brown the meat the aioli for avocado they charged me on the side and they said no ketchup since I got hit sauce. Horrible service the policies are the policies and while they have a right to keep them I am sharing this with you to make a conscious decision. Taste is fine I mean hard to mess up a burrito. read more

Had the spicy Mexican Mocha and highly recommend! It was delicious and perfectly spiced,

Great spot. Amazing breakfast burrito as they have a lot of good stuff on the menu.....

This place is great for UCSF patients. Had a doctors appt at Mount Zion location and had a break and wanted a light breakfast. The place is small, but packed, bright and clean. Small menu, but done right. My husband got a breakfast burrito and I did the lox style toast. I think each item was like $6-$8 which I'd a steal especially in SF. The bread was tasty, as another reviewer said and had the perfect amount of crust. Fresh lox and loved the toppings too. I also got a Chai tea, and a fresh orange juice. The orange juice was so delicious. Nice, ripe oranges so that the juice actually had a froth and creaminess to it that reminded me of orange Julius. We will return when I have another appt over here. Convenient. Affordable. Tasty. read more

I really like this place. I stopped by here for breakfast burrito and ended up also getting one of their homemade vanilla iced lattes. both of them were really good too! I got the Zeus burrito which was exactly what I was looking for - I was craving a breakfast burrito but didn't want to feel too heavy and that's exactly what I fot with this order. The Greek yogurt wasn't overpowering and the veggies were great. Tortilla was soft and yummy too. The ladies that were working there were so kind and sweet to talk to. There's good seating areas for if you want to eat in too. read more

The breakfast burrito is amazing. There are hash browns in the OG that I am absolutely obsessed with. The menu says it comes with your choice of meat but I usually ask to sub bell pepper instead and they are accommodating. The bagel breakfast sandwiches are also delicious! I'm not sure why they are so good but the bagel is very light and soft and all the other components are made fresh to order. There is indoor seating. It is devastating to me that they are not open on the weekends! read more

Very nice lady answered the phone when I called. Let me order ahead. The burrito was a little smaller than I thought but still enough food and the price was different from what I saw on the menu so I am posting an updated menu as of Feb 2024. The plantains were throwing me off a little as I am not used to having something sweet in my burrito but I assessed the risk going into the order and decided I wanted to live life on the edge. Am I disappointed with my taking a risk. Absolutely not. Would I take the risk again? Some things are not worth risking twice. Will I eat there again. Sure why the heck not. The place is simple and good. Check it out. read more

My mom gets recurring treatments at the UCSF thats connected to this cafe. She will always ask we get coffee and a bagel from here. It has its own personality; there is Hispanic music in the background and its quiet. The ladies working stay too themselves they don't ask questions about your day which I enjoy especially when we arrive early morning. im grateful its here to give my mom something to look forward to. read more

Breakfast burrito hits the spot. Get the OG with pico de gallo and tapitio hot sauce!

YES!!!! A 3rd outpost for this owner. I have loved his place in the mission and he recently took over a space right around the corner from Kaiser. You wouldn't really know it was new ownership/new offerings in this little deli storefront unless you were really paying attention...BUT PAY ATTENTION!!!! I had the breakfast sandwich - added avocado - which I think should be everyone's first meal here. It just sets the standard. A perfection of a bun (soft and chewy, yet hold up to the topping of egg, bacon and cheese, I added avocado) - what makes this particularly great is the secret sauce - which you only notice in some bites, but WOW. If it wouldn't make me 500 pounds - I would get this a few times a week. Sadly NOT open on the weekends. - and closes at 3pm on weekdays I am looking forward to trying the turkey panini with fig jam and brie cheese. read more

Okay, first of all, this little hole in the wall should have its own stand alone restaurant!! It's a hidden gem and all the reviews were spot on! I ordered their breakfast burrito with hash on the side and let me say, probably one of the best breakfast burritos I've had. Full of flavor, no skipping on the ingredients and to add avocado and jalapeno just made things even better! The service was phenomenal! They were fast and very quick with the food orders will go back ! read more

Emmita's Cafe - Breakfast burrito with tomato wrap and bacon - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

Best breakfast sandwich in SF! As an east coaster -- I miss a good bacon egg & cheese. This isn't your deli hard roll sandwich, but man is it delicious! It's the perfect size (fluffy but can fit in the palm of your hand) -- you feel satiated but not lethargic after eating it. I love the Breakfast Little Sandwich (with bacon) so much, I haven't ordered anything else. It's on a big fluffy roll... with a little sweetness to it? Divine. They make a delish iced almond milk latte and the staff is very friendly. They make fresh juices on demand (their counter display is full of fresh produce) - need to try that next. One note on finding it -- I enter through Divis and it's confusing... it's a storefront inside of the Kaiser building and down the hallway. I know there's another entrance but haven't tried it since Divis is closer to me. They opened early April and I'm delighted to see so many positive reviews! read more

OMG! Breakfast Little opened a new location closer to me - Emmita's Cafe - at the corner of Divisadero and Post. I travel 45 min out of my way to their Mission location just to get a taste of their Tia Maria (plantain) burrito and Spicy Chai. Two A-M-A-Z-I-N-G items worthy of the commute! Now I don't have to, Emmita's has the same burritos, breakfast and drink menu as Breakfast Little, BUT this location also has sandwiches - large and overflowing with ingredients, freshness and quality superior as their reputation - 5 STARS! This morning, instead of my usual spicy chai, I decided to try their Vampiro Picante - a freshly juiced vegetable drink with ginger and picante. Insanely delicious and refreshing with a hint of spice. In substitution of caffeine, this is an incredible option for a pick me up, get you going drink. Customer service at both location is phenomenal. A family owned business of beautiful faces and spirits who make you feel welcomed and leaves you anticipating your return. Since my first bite of their Tia Maria and first sip of their spicy chai, I've been hooked and will continue to return for more. Join me, it's SO WORTH the trip! Enjoy! read more

C'mon honey, GET INTO THE UNDENIABLE DELICIOUSNESS THAT IS EMMITA'S CAFE!!! Owned by an SF native who loves community and is involved through mentoring and philanthropy, Andrew is kind, compassionate, and family oriented (this location is named after his mom) so how could you not check them out?! Pro Tip: Order the OG Burrito or The Breakfast Little Sandwich and add black beans, honey, sriracha (and avocado if you feelin froggy) and be prepared for your mouth to be amazed! The flavors are ev-er-y-thannnng! You get the sweet, savory, salty, spicy, with the texture of the crunchiness from the hasbrown and creaminess of the aioli. Super fresh ingredients, super hot but the perfect temperature to eat! Best thing about the burrito is that it's just enough food to the point you're not stuffed or hungry, simply satisfied. Not gon lie though...I've had some of those days when I'm hungry af and had one, then ordered another 1 thing about restaurants after they've been around for years is the consistency and quality of their menu. I've been a supporter since their 1st location over in Bayview years ago and I've had the same order since - same high quality every single time. Bottom line - COME THRUUUU!!! #supportsmallbusinesses #supportminorityownedbusiness read more
