    Vegetable soup
    Dawn B.

    I haven't spent a lot of time at cafes lately, one reason is that many of the items aren't really made in-house and you can taste that it came premade/prepackaged. Hungry cafe brings me back to what I loved historically about cafes. All of the food is made with love and fresh. You can taste the freshness of the arugula which is paired with many of their dishes. The chickpea confit had a wonderful slow-cooked, almost smokey flavor, paired with a delicious side of carrot coriander hummus. All the flavors were so complex. We also enjoyed the quiche as it was jam packed with vegetables and paired with the arugula salad. While not pictured here, we ate it too quickly, the salmon toast was a crowd pleaser as well. The chile and roasted tomato flavor really paired well with the dish. The vegetable soup also was a hit. Some bites let the vegetables star in the soup and other times the dill bringing almost a honey flavor stole the show. Not only is the eatery a massive hit and definite stop I'll return to, but the cafe atmosphere is incredible too. The cafe has indoor and outdoor tables, but showing a view of the community center's park. This park is very well designed with plants, bench swings, a slide, and flowers throughout. The staff is also super friendly. Note that there is only one person handling the register and drinks combined, so service is a bit slow at peak ordering times. One person can only do so much and grab the food that's being prepped for service. It will definitely be on of my go-to places going forward.

    Wow what a lovely place! I came here to study and it is a large area to study, eat, drink, or just relax. It has a cool menu of Arabic infusion foods as well as breakfast items and coffee bar. I got the oatmeal which was massive and delicious. I also got a hot mocha that was delicious. The lady at the register is also very nice. Lot of outlets everywhere and free WiFi. There is a large parking lot in the back area. Such a cute place will come again!

    Love the oatmeal with fruits and the peanut butter, delish! We love the salmon toast and we got to try truffle beets, amazing!!! Need to add to their regular menu. I can't wait to go back again to try more new dishes. No and Ryan are so friendly and the place is so welcoming

    The environment is beautiful, the weather is a bit cold, but it is good to sit inside, there are two floors, the inside is very big, it is very good to study in it.

    A Neighborhood Anchor in San Francisco's Comeback At the…read moreintersection of Visitacion Valley and Little Hollywood in San Francisco, Aroma Buena Café and Kitchen capture the spirit of neighborhood resilience. A pleasure of San Francisco's "comeback" are the great new businesses opening around town. Aroma Buena Kitchen in Visitacion Valley/Little Hollywood is one of those wonderful new additions to the city, and all the better knowing how it's come to be. The location formerly housed the Piccolo Pete deli, which in its prime was a neighborhood institution. When Candlestick Park was around, and the Schlage Lock factory was down the street, Piccolo Pete did big business with big sandwiches ready for tailgating and hearty lunches. But with the Giants leaving the 'stick, followed by the 49ers, and the lock factory closed, the core business was gone. The deli closed in 2016, and the building sat vacant except for a small coffee business on the corner. But what about that coffee business? A few years ago Aroma Buena opened in the tiny space at the corner of Bayshore and Tunnel Road. Though there was just enough space for a counter and a couple of tables, the place really took off, particularly for breakfast take-out. The menu had the standard breakfast and lunch staples, but many with Latin influences reflecting the woman-owned "Hispano World Cuisine" catering business behind the venture. Food was delicious, service was friendly, and prices were decent. It quickly became a neighborhood spot with a loyal clientele. Fast forward to last year, and Aroma Buena was ready to expand into the rest of the building. This allowed the catering business to move onto the premises and a new counter-service sit-down restaurant to open up. The front of the building, long neglected after the deli closed, was transformed by a colorful mural that stretched the entire length of the façade. The interior was completely rebuilt, fresh and bright. The original café at the corner is now known as "Aroma Buena Café," and the new restaurant is "Aroma Buena Kitchen." The two complement each other, with the café focused on breakfast and lunch, and the kitchen focused on sit-down lunch and weekend brunch. Both offer a relaxed, welcoming spot for breakfast and lunch, with a local, community-focused vibe. The café serves up a range of fresh classics with a Latin-inspired twist. Their menu includes hearty breakfast burritos (like the popular chorizo and bacon-egg varieties), savory sandwiches (such as the chicken margherita and oven-roasted turkey), healthy wraps, and tasty salads. In keeping with its "Hispano World Cuisine" roots, the menu blends flavors from Spain, Latin America, the Caribbean, and beyond. The flavors are subtle but present, suggesting a kitchen that understands flavor as heritage rather than garnish. The setup of both the café and kitchen is laid-back and friendly. In both you order at the counter, and your food is brought out to you by the friendly staff. In a nutshell, Aroma Buena Café and Kitchen is a hidden gem in one of San Francisco's less well-known neighborhoods. Each offers a comfortable place with flavorful breakfast and lunch options grounded in Latin-inspired cuisine. Whether you're stopping by for your morning coffee or settling in for a hearty lunch, it delivers good food with a friendly neighborhood feel. The food is hot and delicious. The portions are fair. The service is unfussy and kind. And with these qualities, Aroma Buena is a neighborhood anchor. And in the daily life of a city, that's the true comeback story. Aroma Buena is located at 2155 Bayshore Boulevard (corner of Tunnel Avenue) in San Francisco.

    Great neighborhood corner coffee spot. The service was great. The barista was really kind and let…read moreme know about their new menu choices (see photo). I got an iced coffee with almond milk and sugar-free vanilla. The coffee was strong, but not bitter. The milk and syrup had was at a pleasant ratio. Good vibes and excellent coffee.
