I was last here in June. I've always ordered either the coffee, a slice of cake, or the bread to take home. The cake is nice, the coffee is ok, and the bread has always been good. I definitely enjoy relaxing in the many comfy chairs, and it's conveniently placed next to Telegraph Hill Park (the upper park, to the right of the cafe, is open to dogs). Whenever I come inside the cafe with my dog, the staff are super friendly. My only complaint is that if it's just me without the dog, then the service tends not to be so warm and fuzzy (to be honest I consider this to be the norm here in England, so I guess it shouldn't bother me all that much). So: bring your dog (or borrow someone else's) - you'll be glad you did! read more
