The wifi is pretty good, for those doing work there including being able to handle Zoom meeting. I've had their regular coffee and their Cortados, maybe one day I'll try one of their specialty drinks. I've had their wife range of food including their baked goods (Dubai Croissant, Almond Croissant and Cinnamon Danish) all of which were fresh and tasty. I've had tried their chicken and beef shawarmas, sharing them with friends, and those were better than I thought they'd be. This place has friendly staff, and the place has more character than the big coffee companies who shall remain nameless.

I really enjoyed my visit to Delah Coffee in San Francisco. The coffee was good, but what stood out…read moreto me most was the ambiance. It has a very serene and relaxing atmosphere with a beautiful Pakistani and Middle Eastern inspired feel that makes it a nice little escape from the busyness of the city. I also enjoyed their desserts. They have a nice variety of cakes and other sweets, so there are plenty of options to choose from. Just expect them to be quite sweet. The service was decent and fairly self service. You grab your own plate, enjoy your food, and then drop everything off near the trash area when you are finished. The location is also a big plus. It is right in the middle of some of San Francisco's busiest streets and neighborhoods, with many popular sites within walking distance. Overall, it is a nice spot to slow down, enjoy some coffee and dessert, and take a little break from the city.

The portions are MASSIVE. It's a great value because I always have leftovers for dinner or the next day. Tucked in the lobby of 601 Montgomery, the aroma of V's food will lead you to his spot! V's food is tasty, fresh, and made with high quality ingredients. It is just him and his wife, and they are always so kind, and passionate about their food. If you're ever looking for a cozy "home cooked" meal Viva Cafe is THE place! The chimichurri sauce is my absolute favorite i get it on top of my meal every time :-) a must try if youre in the FiDi area!

Their signage outside was what drew me in, the drinks looked vibrant and delicious. Upon entering the store I was greeted by who I assume is the owner of the establishment. I ordered an iced ube matcha latte and a hot mocha. Unfortunately both drinks were severely underwhelming. Just by looking at the matcha color, you could tell there was barely any matcha powder. Still i wanted to give it a chance so I took a sip. All I tasted was the oat milk, i couldnt taste any sweetness, matcha, nor ube. The mocha was a similar story, it was really watery and didn't taste remotely like mocha. Maybe I ordered the wrong drinks but it was a very unpleasant experience. Plus there were two beta fish in these small vases being used as decoration.. they looked pretty lifeless :/

Had a really bizarre and unnecessarily rude experience here today…read more When my coworker and I walked in, we were standing toward the front of the cafe and didn't realize we were in the wrong spot to order. Instead of just pointing us in the right direction, the person working gave us attitude about it. We apologized and explained that we thought we were supposed to stand where we were, and he responded with something along the lines of, "Well, the cashier is here, so you should be standing here." Just a weirdly hostile interaction over a very normal mistake. Then I ordered my coffee and asked for vanilla. He told me they didn't have any, so I said no problem and asked if they had another sweetener. His response was, "No, we don't. I don't do that here." I said, "Oh, okay, interesting," and he responded, "Yeah, that's why there are other coffee shops. You don't have to come here if you don't want to." I also asked for 2% milk, and again got a very curt "I don't do 2% milk," instead of just telling me what they did have. I happily switched to oat milk -- none of my requests were a big deal to me, and I wasn't upset that they didn't have what I originally asked for. It was entirely the attitude. Not sure why every interaction needed to come with so much sass, especially when we were being perfectly polite. Coffee was fine, but the service made the whole experience uncomfortable. Definitely won't be back, and if you're expecting friendly or welcoming service, I'd go somewhere else.

I've been here twice now. First and second time, the only…read moreperson working there says nothing, like some sort of coffee-serving-NPC. At this point, I'm starting to think he is an advanced coffee-bot. Second time, I was literally the only person in the space, and the NPC sat my coffee down on the other side of the counter, making me walk all the way over there instead of just handing it to me where I was at the other side of the counter. He also said "macchiato" as if there was any other order pending. Very strange and impersonal in every way. Also, coffee was bitter the first and decent the second. For the higher prices, sorry for expecting human service of any kind. Will go to Andytown instead now that they are also open on Market and Kearney.

One of my favorite cafes in FiDi…read more I like the vibes here. Mostly ample seating, except when it gets super busy. I usually get their grab and go items and enjoy them inside. The salads are fresh. I've also had the pesto pasta salad a few times. Only thing is I believe the pesto is made with pistachio and arugula, but not any basil. I much prefer pesto made with basil. I mean, it's not really pesto if it's not made with basil. At least not in my book, and I think most Italians would agree. The Roasted Salmon Filet was a bit on the dry side, but they do use loch duart salmon My friends like their coffee, but I can't personally speak to that. It's definitely not inexpensive, but you're probably paying for the location, and I must admit I always just like hanging here. The main downside for me though is the VERY limited street parking in the area. No fault of the business, just fact.

Unfortunately it does face the Scientology building towards the right, but I simply adjust my gaze to the left and all is well. As a new commuting ccsf student I was on a mission to try the cafes in the area from my BART stop at Montgomery to the Chinatown campus, though I feel my quest has come to an end because I can't get myself to go anywhere other than Nico! It's such a cute, warmly lit cafe and takes me back to Autumn in Le Marais. I find myself purposely leaving for school earlier so that I can spend more time at the cafe in the morning when all the pastries are still in stock. As for the speciality desserts I ordered the tart, pistachio Paris-Brest, and the coffee choux for my best friend's birthday and she loved them all!! It doesn't hurt that the bags they provide come in the cutest shade of pink. Maison Nico is def part of my weekly ritual:)

The 1st time I came here, I left empty handed even though it was only 2:00pm on a Saturday. I decided to make a detour here before walking over to North Beach and was pleasantly surprised to find that there were still some items left even though it was later in the day than my 1st visit. I ended up buying the Croissant De Saison ($5.00) to share: Almond streusel, strawberry-lemon verbena jam, almond cream +Unlike the typical croissant, it was covered in a crispy almond streusel, which was different, but in a good way! The croissant inside still maintained its flakiness. +Not too sweet: Filled w/a lightly sweetened jam +Compared to other bakeries in the city, I thought this was a good value. -Where was the almond cream??? -We couldn't taste the lemon verbena and thought the jam tasted like raspberry. Side notes: 1.) Indoor and outdoor seating 2.) Limited parking: It's walking distance from multiple transit stations, so would recommend that. *Verdict: Atypical French bakery with savory & sweet options and friendly service. The employee who helped me was patient and she answered questions I had about the items in the display cases. I'd like to come back earlier to dine in and try more of their offerings, such as the Pâté en croûte.
