Such a gem of a neighborhood cafe! I've gotten the Supreme Breakfast Sandwich and a pastrami sandwich and they were not only huge but super tasty! The ingredients they use are super fresh and everything is made with care and a smile. I'm glad to make this my new morning/lunch spot. read more

I'm gonna echo what's already been said about the owner, he's extremely rude. My girlfriend went inside to grab a plastic spoon and he literally yelled at her in front of the entire cafe. He said "your dad doesn't own this shop - put it back and get out!" read more

I've never been treated so poorly at a coffee shop. I was waiting on a friend to arrive and therefore didn't order a drink and chose to sit down. The proprietor approached me after a few minutes and asked me if I had been helped. I explained that I was waiting on a friend and would be ordering something as soon as they arrived. A few minutes later he approached again and claimed that I didn't have anyone else coming and that "He'd seen me there before, and I did this last time." (Fortunately for me I'd never been there before and will most definitely not be there again.) At this point I asked if he would like me to leave and he rudely stated that I should get out of there. Total time in the store 15 minutes. As soon as I walk out the door, my date arrives and I have to explain to her that I've just been asked to leave and was pretty frustrated and humiliated. An amazing way to start a second date. Thanks a lot Java Supreme. This happened on Sunday, November 3, 2013. read more

At first glance, the place looks like any quaint coffee shop in the ever-beautiful Mission. What seemed like owner-baristas also seemed polite. This was ~9am and we were the only people in the there, after a composed old man just left after reading his morning paper w/ coffee. But soon after, 'attitude on display' began to unfold. Clarification: All 'attitude' relates to the man in our instance; woman was polite. They forgot to make my girlfriend's latte (remember: no one else around, so, not busy), and when she returned to the counter 5-10 min later to check, they said "oh it is coming", as if they never forgot. It was just their attitude, more than the simple act of forgetting to make a latte even when there are no people around. I then was taking a phone call, very quietly I might add, at one of the tables. At this stage, there were 2 other people in the cafe. Me, gf, 2 others. Time: ~9:29am. The man comes over and taps on my shoulder and says "no calls". I hung up immediately. I asked my gf if I was being loud but she didn't think so. There was a man right next to us on a laptop so I deliberately whispered on my call because I just felt like I want to be as quiet as possible. There are so many ways to tell me to no be on the phone: "please take it outside thank you", "wifi slows down for others if you are on FT call" and so many others. Also, I saw no signs for 'no calls'. I saw 2 others in the store. We also didn't just buy coffee for the wifi. Total order amount: ~$10. Their (the man's) overall attitude left me feeling like I either play by certain unwritten rules, or I might be reprimanded. I typically go to smaller coffee shops to relate more with the owners, get a sense of 'family', but this 40min stay for breakfast + coffee left me with a bad taste, and no desire to return. No bad words were used, no confrontations; just their attitude + actions made a subtle yet strong indication of how they tend to be toward customers. With all due respect, I felt the vibe - maybe it is just me. Regardless, I shall not return. Thanks. read more

WORST CAFE EXPERIENCE IN THE AREA. I barely got any attention when I walked in although I was the only customer. I finally ordered a drink, sat down, and took a phone call on my cellphone. 30 secs later I was told talking on the phone was against the "rules" and told to either hang up or get out. I asked to see these rules and was told that it is against the rules in all cafes in the Mission (wtf?). If they had had any posted rules or let me know ahead of time, I would have had no problem complying, but by that time I had already ordered my drink. I understand being respectful of others around you but I was the only person there and, with Gloria Estefan blaring in the background, there is nothing quiet about this cafe. Bottom line, to interrupt a customer who is on the phone by yelling at them is rude behavior. With the plentiful cafes in the area, why go somewhere were they treat people like this? read more

I used to live right between Java Supreme and Tartine on Guerrero. 19 times out of 20 I would pick Java Supreme over Tartine. Cheap, delicious, unpretentious, friendly. Owned and ran by the most wonderful and warm couple. I miss being able to come here, get an Americano and the "Italian" bagel for less than $6, sit for an hour or so and have my entire world be content. If you live within earshot of Dolores Park, patronize this business. You'll see this is where the neighborhood really gets their coffee. read more

Java Supreme is a low-key cafe on Guerrero, a business you might not have noticed before. I didn't really, until I moved a few houses away. It's really a hidden gem in the city because it's rare to find a cafe in this town that has good food, reasonable prices and just down-to-earth, friendly, customer service. They've got it all -- great breakfast and lunch meals that are actually affordable. Planning on studying for awhile? Grab a huge falafel, complete with hummus, lettuce, tomatoes stuffed in pita for less than $4. On the go in the morning? I recommend getting a bagel with cream cheese and sundried tomatoes for about $3. I fell in love with Java Supreme when I ordered a coffee and two bagels and was pleasantly surprised when the total came out to be only $7. Some places charge that amount for just one bagel! I definitely stand behind businesses that offer great food at prices we can all afford. read more

This is great little coffee and sandwich spot. It is also probably the only place in the Mission that you can get a regular cup of coffee for a regular price. The couple who own/run the cafe are very friendly. I just had a turkey club wrap there today and it was very good and it was real turkey cold cuts, no that weird super-processed deli meat. I would definitely recommend this place. And it is really close to Dolores Park so great if you need a little impromptu picnic. read more

If you want a peaceful space without crowds or attitudes, leave the valencia strip the next block over and seek out this underrated, pretension-free neighborhood coffee shop. It's mom-and-pop run and they have been here 18 years. It's almost a hole in the wall, but they have a menu, amenities and prices that beat most others. There's 10 2-seat tables. 6 of them are in the front by the streetcorner-facing windows, a bright work space for using the free wifi. The others line the wall by the counter which has all the coffee devices plus a tiny deli cooler with egg salad and stuff like that. You can get a good selection of veggies and hummus or the usual meat on a sandwich, for just 3.95, what a deal. I got the veggies and cream cheese on rye sandwich with a hearty home made vegan soup, plus coffee, for under $8. I went on a sunday afternoon (they closed at 6, not 7) and there was just one other laptop worker and a few regulars who drifted in and out. Very welcoming and 5 stars for sure. read more

Coffee. Just a coffee. YES! Lovely little place owned and run by warm people who care. They don't care whether you're mpressed or that you're impressing others. They care that you're fed, happy, haven't over-paid, and they're happy when you return. There are dozens of other places where you can pretend a coffee is an amalgam of life choices. This is where you buy a coffee. There are dozens of other places where you can do a waltz of "who-is-more-disappointed-in-whom" with your barrista. This is where you buy a coffee. And sit. With people who might not have read "The Corrections". Or maybe they have, just not publicly. There are dozens of other places where you can pay $6 for the illusion of extra labor by someone who, lets face it, wasn't really doing much else anyway. This is where you buy a coffee. Just a nice coffee. From nice people. If you absolutely need the production chain to include someone who "gets" how important you are, you can always stir in the cream yourself. This is a place where you can get "just a coffee" from really, really nice people. read more

The guy who I assume owns this joint is a freaking MONSTER!! On one of the recent super sunny days when all of San Francisco was in Dolores Park, my male friend and I ran around trying to find a bathroom. Dolores Park Cafe had locked theirs up and the public park restroom line was massive. I'm sorry, I'm a girl, I have to go and I'm not going to urinate in public in the middle of the day. We are both well-mannered, clean and had only had a couple of beers. And in response to another poster - I'm not a loser deadbeat, in the least. In fact, I'm pretty straight edge and have a great career. And I understand where this guy is coming from, but there's a point where you make an exception or just kindly say, listen, the restroom is for customers only, sorry. You don't need to lock people in your shop and call police. Give me a break. We really would have bought a water or coffee if we both hadn't accidentally left our wallets behind in the park. And I would have come back some other day in the future to make a purchase if it weren't for what happened. So I run in, go straight for the bathroom. A girl's gotta go when a girl's gotta go, ya know? Otherwise, I'm going on your floor. I'm in the restroom and I hear my friend talking to the owner. I thought it was just friendly conversation until I heard it escalating. I exit the restroom to find the guy on the phone, supposedly to the police, and that he was LOCKING US IN the coffee shop. He literally closed the door and locked it. He accused my friend of being on drugs (neither of us had even smoked) and was yelling. Thankfully my friend told him that what he was doing was false imprisonment and he opened the door. Morale of the story: if you have to pee here, pee on their floor. read more

I been there first and last time! Bartender was nice, but food... so bad... I had Middle Eastern plate... for 8,75$(!!!) I didn't know that it could be done so badly that it didn't even taste like real ME food....the meat balls were very dry, there was not even rice... sorry i didn't ask to get my money back! For 8,75$ I got a piece of shit!!! Horroble food! read more

Java Supreme - Middle Eastern food... - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

After my self boycott of the angry Korean woman at Mission Creek Cafe, this is now my go-to cafe to get my morning work done. I like this place - it's noticeably smaller and there's definitely more of a neighborhood vibe; more people reading magazines and newspapers and talking to their neighbors than douchebags like me checking my work e-mail - but I try to pay it back by buying a bagel sandwich and a coffee and tipping and stuff. I'll be coming back here a lot. read more

This place is highly underrated! I came in on a Tuesday, it was peaceful, and I was looking for a breakfast sandwich. The lady who makes these, perfects them! They are mouthwatering, cheesy, warm egg and cheese sandwiches. This is a place that should have a line out the door but it doesn't! A true neighborhood gem! #bestbreakfastbagel!!!! read more

I adore Ed and Yvonne (not sure if that's the way you spell her name.) They are the owners of this quaint coffee shop, both such lovely people and so in love. I've been meaning to write them a review for the longest since I work around the corner from them. It only took me a year, sorry guys it's better late than never. If you want that calm and homey coffee vibe. This is your place, they greet you with warmth and every time I've come in there are no lines. I always order their Java Supreme in Vanilla and tuna sandwich for lunch. I've tried their breakfast bagels, also delicious. You can't go wrong with this place. Thanks for always making me feel welcomed Ed and Yvonne. read more

In an area where the line is around the block on a holiday weekend for brunch, Java Supreme was not crowded, quick, and delicious. The breakfast sandwich supreme was... Supreme. Just a word of warning, it's cash only or LevelUp, which I don't have. read more

The best bagels in town!!! me and my friend are visiting town and we will definitely be back again before we leave. Really good prices as well. Great lattes too!!! read more

Don't expect something fancy. This is a small neighborhood coffee shop. Was looking for somewhere to get some work done.. It was ok. Seemed like a lot of people love their bagels. I will def check it out next time. read more

This place is a godsend. The owners are really sweet and produce high quality breakfast sandwiches. I miss living in this area, but always stop over there when I am. read more

This review is wayyyy overdue. I love this place. Great espresso drinks -- love the Americano. Also awesome food, THAT'S CHEAP. My personal faves are Java #2 bagel sandwich and the veggie sandwich (substitute cream cheese with hummus!). Also awesome salads! They have wifi too. Amazing. Just a friendly, unpretentious neighborhood cafe. I just wish their hours are longer!! read more

The falafel sandwich is the cheapest I've found in the Mission. I'd also call it the best. Much larger and more falafel-filled than I was expecting for $3.95, it's a pita stuffed with lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, and with a tiny spicy pepper on the side. And it's vegan (hummus instead of tahini, and no dairy in the falafel). The soy chai is spicy, frothy, and doesn't come sweetened: perfect. At only $2.35 for 12oz, I bought two over the course of my work-from-home day here. The owners are super friendly and helpful, and the background music was relaxing classical-type instrumental. The chairs remind me of an elementary school cafeteria, but the ambiance and outlet availability are better than cushions. read more

This is my go-to breakfast spot. Chill vibe, not a lot of new dbs taking about their latest app, and it's run but the sweetest couple who has been here for years. Great place for the community that's not yet been priced out. read more

This has been my coffee shop of choice for about a year and a half, and I must admit that I have intentionally held off from writing a review for the purely selfish reason that I don't want anything about the place to change - least of which the fact that I can almost always get a seat there. So you may believe that I am now writing this review because I have denounced my self-serving ways but in fact, it is only because I now know that I will be moving away from SF in a few months and want to finally give props where props are due. The things that initially won me over to Java Supreme were the utter lack of pretense and good, solid coffee at a price that would never make me stop and think to myself, "wait a minute, I spent HOW much on coffee this week??" Ed, who runs the place, is also an awfully charming guy. Even if I haven't built up the personal relationship with him that many of the other regulars have, I know that I could, and that's enough. He knows my order, including what kind of bagel I'd like for my breakfast bagel, without asking. Java Supreme's clientele is made up of the kinds of people who appreciate a personable, small-business owner like Ed, and I like that too. They are a decidedly less-hipster, slightly older, more likely to have a small child, less likely to be posing with their iBook crowd than you will find at most of the other options in the neighborhood. My only complaint is from those days when I do need to get something done during my time at Java Supreme - the wifi is terribly undependable. That can be frustrating when you figure it out only after having placed your order. But no matter - the coffee is strong, the food good, and the atmosphere very relaxed. A+ read more

I feel bad for the lady who works here (maybe also one of the owners), because she seems very friendly and down to earth. In fact, the reason the place has high reviews is because its a nice little coffee shop in a great part of town. 99% of people probably come in, have a coffee, and leave with a positive experience. Such a shame because the owner is a psycho. He thinks that everyone is out to "get him"... or maybe he just feels that someone still owes him something in life. Check out some of the 1 star reviews here and you will see that everything is fine until the owner begins to threaten you. In my case it was quite embarrassing for him, as I left the store one or two other customers walked out because they felt uncomfortable. Everyone needs to read the review about how he locked a customer in the bathroom while "calling the police"... Hopefully this place goes out of business soon and opens up the doors for some new friendly owners who deserve such a great spot in the Mission. read more

I love Java Supreme! I live a block away, so it is very convenient! And the prices really can't be beat. The chai that they use (I think it's Divine Chai, but don't quote me on that) is deliciously spicy, which I prefer to the really sweet kinds out there, and where else can you get a soy chai latte (with frothed milk) for $2.30... And my wife loves their cappucino-- Ed, the owner, is amazing at frothing milk, and always gives her extra foam, which makes her happy =) I've tried the green tea passion fruit smoothie; it was good on one of those scorcher days, but they're a little on the sweet side. As for eats, I have kept it simple with bagels and cream cheese or hummus, but it's always good. In terms of atmosphere, it's not the coziest place in the world, but Dolores Park is a block away-- Grab N' Go! read more

Java Supreme is THE BEST. Their coffee is ridiculously good and you cant beat their delicious breakfast sandwiches. But more importantly, their prices are on point. Who the h&ll wants to spend more than $5 for breakfast. Sorry, but some of us are getting killed by the recession. But these guys keep their prices low and affordable. Skip Dolores Park Cafe and some of the cafes on Valencia. Instead, stop by here (and give a shout out to Ed and his wife, who are such nice people). read more

This place is great! Much more affordable than other coffee shops in the area, cozy, good selection and they're friendly!

Coffee here is about average for a place named Java-Something. Why then have I given it Four Stars? They top a bagel here with hummus, tomato slices and pickle chips. Freaking awesome. Try it on a combo bagel. Small homey place with 6-10 tables. I remember seeing a bulletin board pinned with customer photos above the milk/sugar station. Check this out for a hilarious pic of a little kid dressed as a cartoon hillbilly. It's a crack-up. read more

I love this place. If you don't, you're probably a bad person without manners. Just kidding, kind of. The coffee isn't amazing, but the bagels, the owners, and the 'this is my local coffee shop, mine, mine, mine' vibe are. If I'm ever gone for more than a week, the owners notice, ask me where my travels took me, and if I had fun. If I'm ever missing a few bucks, they tell me to come in next time. If ever am in a really picky mood and ask for something ridiculous, they do their best to fix it up. Love, Java lover. read more

It's funny to me the negative reviews from the owner not wanting non-customers to use his bathroom. The owner has every right to be angry if you came in there just to use the bathroom and chose to ignore his "customers only" sign. The owner gently reminded a young woman who B-lined from the sidewalk in front to the bathroom at the rear of the cafe. I smiled at him. Loser deadbeats! This is one of the few places in SF where the prices are dirt cheap and it's quiet enough to get some studying done. I had been looking for a cafe in close proximity to my home that's quiet enough for me on the weekend. The great prices for good food is just icing! read more

Alot of 4-5 star reviews here so i have to balance it out. If you want: 1. Just a basic coffee and/or sandwich to go ... this place is well priced and great. 2. To work, go somewhere else ... why? Because they now require you to spend $5 to use their wifi (this is new as of a few weeks ago). There are plenty of great coffee shops within a few blocks that will let you use their internet hassle free with any purchase. Also they don't have a sink in their washroom so i wouldn't shake anyone's hand in there. The woman who works there is the sweetest person you may ever meet though. read more

Great mom and pop store selling a strong cup of coffee at a still reasonable price for a large. The best juice-free green smoothie around. Sandwiches are delicious and big and still a great price. Open early for those who need strong coffee at 7am. This is a small store still able to operate in this COVID-19 environment offering good food at great prices. You get more than your monies worth here. read more

Cheap. Good. Awesome people. Americano. Bagel w avocado sprouts tomato red onion. Bagel with cream cheese. $6.25 $5 credit - level up - they insisted read more

If you want a great coffee shop where you don't have to worry about whether you're hipster enough to fit in, this is for you. Java Supreme is the perfect little coffee shop from the pre-third-wave era. Free wifi. Good coffee, though not obsessively so. Good bagel sandwiches and pastries. Always-genial staff behind the counter. Small. Cozy. Good prices. read more

I recently moved into the area and now go to Java as my main coffee stop. The owners are always friendly and know what I want as I go there almost every day. The food is great and the prices are as well. Being a local independently owned place makes me love them even more. Thanks Java for everything! read more

So I decided to give this place another chance--I'm glad I did. Surprisingly, i had no idea that the male owner, Ed, knew who i was and both he and his wife (both with big, sincere smiles) thanked me for my review. Ed was in quite a jolly mood, presenting the face befitting the pictures i mentioned in my previous review. We had a short conversation and were both able to joke about the incident regarding the tables. I deeply appreciated the personal interaction and re-neg my last rating. Thank you again for killing me softly with kindness :-) read more

A classic friendly, cheap, healthy, flexible store to enjoy some good food while crushing work with their free wi-fi. Latte is super solid, and the veggie sandwich (hummus instead of cream cheese) is fantastic. Super friendly staff and cozy environment. Nothing bad to say about this place! read more

was charged $4.99 for this 3/4 cup of coffee...the image attached was the coffee i received. the board said the price was only $1.75. the person making my coffee did not wash his hands and only put a mask on the second he started touching the espresso machine. very disappointed. read more

I have the luxury of rolling out of bed to grab coffee here, then rolling back up to my place to enjoy. The prices are extremely reasonable, the coffee's made quick and the coffee's pretty good -- meaning I've had better coffee but had to pay for it. It's definitely way better than the coffee I make at home. I'm not really sure why I do that. Never really seen the place crowded, but being a neighbor of theirs, I see this as a good thing. Pastries and other stuff are good as well. read more
