    Sausage Egg Wrap
    Geoff L.

    The Mango Pomelo Sago Yogurt Smoothie was quite very good. They also offer other fresh fruit smoothies, rice & yogurt drinks, coffees & expressos. The breakfast sausage egg wrap and unagi bagel were satisfying and filling. You can self order at the kiosk or at the counter. Enter the Cafe is located at the corner of Broadway and Powell as you head east of the Robert C. Levy Tunnel.

    BLT A.B.L.T. Bagel with egg
    Jarren B.

    Note: Parking is going to be hard to get around area Service: to order you can either visit the cashier or use a kiosk. The kiosk is pretty well designed and easy to read and navigate. We had to a wait a little for our food but we do not mind since this cafe is run by a few people. We greatly appreciate the workers offering us water and thanking us for waiting. I ordered the B.L.T bagel with egg. It was delicious. My GF got the lox bagel. It was really tasty and enjoyed every bite. Overall, pretty good assortment of bagel sandwich options. The ambiance of the place is more of a mom and pop shop but the seat areas are clean. Will come back to try other items on the menu, especially the açaí bowls and drinks.

    Can do self service order!

    Ordered my Blueberry smoothie! I like this small business in our neighborhood. They have more than coffee drinks and smoothies. They have breakfast items and lunch items that they have during the day. The service is quick and efficient. One person takes and makes your order. Ambiance is clean and casual. Support this small business!

    Red Bean Ice with Ice Cream

    the only place to get a amazingly yummy red bean drink topped with ice cream every time i go to sf chinatown, this place is a must

    So I was a little puzzled when I entered and looked at the menu since it was different than the photos I had browsed online. For example, we specifically came for the moffles (mochi waffles), but there was none of that on the menu. The other interesting items pictured on the yelp page like the ube crossaint, salted duck yolk custard crossaints etc from Baker Doe's are not served anymore. Check out Baker Doe's facebook website on Fridays at 1:30 pm for where they will be each weekend-- thanks for the hot tip Cherylynn!!) They still do offer some yummy breakfast items: breakfast wraps, breakfast sandwiches, purple rice yogurts, espresso drinks. They offer the full array yogurt drinks from Yomi Yogurt. There is currently no seating available, and it seemed most people ordered ahead (uber eats, doordash, grub huh) for pick-up which was wise, since it did take a while on a sunday morning. We had the Avocado Egg PoP which is a breakfast sandwich with thick brioche toast. The portion was generous, and the egg was soft scrambled goodness. The toast was soft, but a little dry and didn't taste super fresh. We also had the Wake Up Breakfast sandwich which comes with bacon. The hamburger style bun for this one tasted a bit fresher. I bought a red bean yogurt for my kiddos. I can never get into these no matter what I flavor I try.. but the kids gulp it up! Overall yummy breakfast sandwiches, order ahead!

    Bagel with Cream Cheese
    Vanden A.

    *WAIT TIME- arrive with a party of 2 on a late Saturday afternoon around 5:30 pm. Did not have to wait in line and food as well as drinks came out fast. *AMBIANCE- although there are a lot of windows, it still had more of quiet/dark/sleepy vibes. Worked out for me though because I was working on my laptop and it was super chill. Free WIFI! *QUALITY- great! Unagi musubi hit the spot and loved how it was less than $10 for a pair. Bagel was toasted perfectly- not too soft, not too crunchy. I was feeling adventurous with Melon Avo yogurt smoothie, which turned to have an interesting aftertaste- the quality of drink was still good but would deff try a different flavor next time. Love the variety of options they have- smoothies, coffee, and food. *CUSTOMER SERVICE- good! Friendly and patient with questions I asked regarding the menu. *RESTROOM- 1 gender neutral *OUTDOOR SEATING- n/a *PARKING- no private lot available. Metered street parking only. Located right in the very corner of a daily busy street, so parking won't typically be super fast or easy to find.

    Peach slushy drink
    Carol V.

    This café is a lil expensive in comparison to other nearby cafes; however, At Enter the Cafe clerk speaks English, All the food is carefully made & served w a . I can order breakfast meals all day. And the drinks are SO INVENTIVE!!- Today I got a peach slushy! and Double sausage breakfast sandwich. From the seats, I can watch the scene go by, I can hear it, but I don't get stressed cuz I'm not outside. Thank you, Enter the Cafe!- I am a HAPPY REPEAT Customer!!

    Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie
    Samantha F.

    This is a cute corner Cafe that serves interesting drinks. Its definitely a family owned cafe because you can see their kids playing games and one doing homework, that's always the sign of a family business! Now to the drink! I had the 'Straw to my Berry' yogurt drink. It was sooo good! 10/10 I loved the strawberry flavor with ACTUAL strawberry pieces in it with every sip, definitely would get again. It took a bit to get out but it's being made fresh so I can't really complain on that front. I would recommend people who like yogurt drinks to come here and try it out! *There is also delivery available and there is indoor seating to eat and drink! They accept CCs, tap to pay and cash!

    Passion fruit mango iced tea, shelter in place Sorry, was thirsty.
    Mike C.

    Convenience brought me here on a Tuesday mid-afternoon. I was waiting for a friend while at an appointment and became thirsty on a late June weekday afternoon. Parked on Powell and Vallejo, there weren't many choices in getting a bottle of water much less a drink. I walked to the corner of Broadway and looked at their sign in the window. I opened the door to find two tables and their menu laid out on top. I ordered the passion fruit mango iced tea (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=1slLew8YkmVVgSti4Wqvug&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q), requesting 30% sweetness (my norm). There were two employees working, the barista and the cashier/order taker. There were a few other guys at a table inside who could be fellow workers or the owners so I went back outside to wait. About seven minutes later, the cashier waved me in and I grabbed my drink. By the time I reached my car, as my photo shows, half of my drink was gone. I remember this being a snack place that offered breakfast items and pastries too but I guess there was an ownership and theme change along the way. I need to study their menu more thoroughly next time before coming in since this was a spur of the moment thing. The business name is obviously a play on that famous martial artist who's memory has been brought to light in the past month. Just happy to rehydrate with the lack of options in the area. Just don't expect a boutique tea experience like those popular places throughout the Bay Area.

    my friend and i went here for the last breakfast on our vacation and we seriously loved it! my friend even said "if i lived here i'd eat here all the time." the food was fresh and well made, and the spicy mayo was just a kiss of spice, not hot at all, and very creamy. their coffee was expertly made, as i'm sitting here writing this my friend just said "that was a really good coffee i'm still thinking about it" the server was also very sweet and friendly! the shop is a little hard to find because they don't have "enter the cafe" branding, so it's best to just go by the address. but it's a cute little corner cafe, well decorated and clean but very small so exercise caution if you're a larger group. if you're visiting sanfran i highly recommend this place esp if you need a quick breakfast or drink between excursions!

    Mango Yogurt Smoothie, Mango Pomelo Sago Yogurt Smoothie
    Sarah P.

    I think I found a new favorite beverage! These yogurt smoothies are soo addicting! We ordered one mango, and one mango pomelo sago. Definitely go for the sago, the texture and flavor was soo good. The smoked salmon toast was also great, really fresh ingredients and beautiful presentation. They also included a cute little fruit cup! This place was a little pricey but definitely so worth it. Also take out only at the moment

    Juan V.

    This place had some very good drinks available. Although, I enjoyed the iced coffee, there was plenty of flavorful drinks on the menu. This place is only take out. There is no place to sit inside .They also have some very delicious desserts.

    Karan L.

    Beautiful murals outside the place. The rice yogurt was thick and filling (like a full meal). Liked this drink a lot it was not sweet and sugar but savory.

    I love açaí bowls, so when I saw that they had a happy hour sign (10am-2:30pm daily) for $12.99, I…read moredecided to stop by to grab one for lunch! This location is really close to my work, which was great. I stopped by on a Tuesday at 1:30pm and there were only a few customers inside. I like the simple decor and the big menu on the wall, it reminded me of Hawaii. I ordered the original gangster and waited less than 5 minutes before it was ready. The açaí was not too sweet (just how I like it), and I loved all the toppings that came with it such as the granola, banana, blueberry, coconut shavings, and honey. The strawberry was a bit too tart but other than that, everything was great. I think I've found my favorite açai spot in the city. I can't wait to try other flavors next time I stop by.

    I love Bowl'd Acai! I remember going to their food truck pre-pandemic by Salesforce Tower…read more Their acai bowls are fresh, high quality, and large portions. I find the Green Goliath to be pretty unique, as well as the Original Gangster. I love the light, airy, and plant-filled interior. They also have some good "happy hours" for cheaper poke bowls, acai bowls, smoothies, and bone broths. Service is kind, friendly, and efficient. I love this location in Nob Hill? Polk Gulch? Very bikeable, walkable, and bus-able.
