I stopped by today after noticing they had bánh mì sandwiches on the menu and decided to try the Spicy Korean BBQ bánh mì. It was delicious, generously sized, and packed with flavor. The customer service was excellent as well. The employee who helped me, I believe her name was So, was friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place and plan on coming back. My only minor complaint is that they close a bit early (around 3 PM), but the food and service make it well worth the visit. read more

Got take-out from this place twice now and it's really good! I've had their donut holes and latte, which were both. Their pork chop was also fantastic! I've also had their ham and cheese croissant - loved the flavor of the cheese. The place is small but serves its purpose. Service was friendly and quick. And best of all, the food was affordable. Will def be coming back again! read more

Amazing coffee. I also had the Sausage Egg and Cheese Croissant that tasted amazing. Not overwhelming, and was fresh. My mom is a picky coffee drinker and loved their regular coffee. The woman who took my order was very nice! And I'm looking forward to going there several times :) read more

Not only are the prices fair, the service you get from the woman who owns the place is amazing!!!! The absolute sweetest person. Made me the best tasting spicy bbq pork Bahn Mi I've ever had here in the city. And to top it off they even sell fresh made daily donuts that are incredible read more

Still one of the regular places I go to for my banh mi. I always get a combo with veggies on the side so that the sandwich stays fresh during transportation from the cafe back to the office. The service is quick and the staff is friendly. A couple seats near the window and they have a variety of snacks and drinks to pick from as well. read more

Expresso for in and out under 3 min. A lot of donuts choices plus a good deal for a dozen. The older lady is nice and says most things are fresh. I'll definitely be back read more

Latte Express - Food prep happening on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

We walked in and the lady was yelling at her family member who also works there about something. My bf ordered two donuts and she put them in the microwave. As they were microwaving I noticed it was literally messy behind the counter with a bottle of aveeno lotion and ensure protein drink knocked over and just mass amounts clutter. It literally looked like a cluttered apartment with just things! Like not even restaurant related tools, just literally personal things everywhere. It was so weird! This place couldn't possibly pass a health code standard and we saw black dots in the donuts which makes me think they don't clean it. $2 per donut too. read more

I had the pork banh mi, a Vietnamese iced coffee, and (fresh!) donut holes, and it was all great :) The staff was also very sweet!

A very friendly and nice stop in Soma for breakfast or lunch. The croissant sandwich, breakfast burrito and vietnamese sandwiches are great, and the vietnamese coffee is very strong (you've been warned) read more

Great food and nice people working here, and a wide selection of breakfast, lunch, and more! Been coming for years and still perfect little spot, and new management keeping it going really well.. It's just across a block from the SF Caltrain station. read more

Small place, limited seating. Very old fashioned/budget feel Had the sausage breakfast burrito. It was very light and a nice contrast to other salty burritos Service was OK, nothing stood out too much read more

Bbq pork sandwich was amazing. Peter was super friendly and I would definitely return for another sandwich.

I work near this location and love to come here for their Banh Mi sandwiches they're so good!

I understand we have to support local small businesses, but I had one of the worst cafe experiences here in the city. I stopped by to get my breakfast, but instead, I was treated to the owner loudly yelling on the phone while customers were still in the store. It was uncomfortable and unprofessional--it ruined the atmosphere. The lack of respect for customers is disappointing. By the way, the owner insisted on charging me a dollar to refill my coffee, but there was no information on the menu for such an additional charge. The owner also overcharged me for my order. The owner's attitude was absolutely rude and unacceptable. I won't be back, and I'd advise others to look for a place even if they need a quick breakfast bite. read more

Let's just say don't judge a book by its cover. This shop looks run down and boarded up but don't let the outside fools you. There are great things inside, I promise. I was craving a regular banh mi with no frill and less than $10 and this place delivered just that. A grilled pork banh mi + Thai tea combo costs $10.50 before tax. Feeling something more caffeinated? They have a vietnamese coffee combo for less than $10. Banh mi: Excellent! Crispy bread, thick slices of pork, plenty of pickled shredded carrots. It comes with mayo so if you're not fan, ask to omit it. Thai tea: Good, just like any other Thai teas Will come back for their other specials like grilled pork/chicken rice plates, katsu-don, and breakfast burrito. read more

This nice old woman rang me up. I guess she gave me a little discount then some bitch comes rushing over crying about 50 Cent over some shitty donut holes. I was about to buy some ham and cheese sandwiches after that yeah no no thank you you could take those $.50 and shove them up your ass you seriously need them, so rude such rude service read more

This place has the look of a convenience store, and it is convenient to get to from the San Francisco Caltrain station. There are a wide variety of menu items including Vietnamese food, Hawaiian and breakfast. The price us right as well. I had a banh mi with barbecue pork. Nice fresh bread with the right crunch, pickled carrots, not a lot of jalapeño pepper though. I don't think it has any--seems pretty unusual. It tasted good though. read more

Nearby place that sold sandwiches and we were starved. The banh mi looked really good, so we ordered one to share. Unfortunately, the banh mi left much to be desired. All we got was 1 piece of meat, a big huge cucumber, and slices of carrots (see photo). OK REALLY?! I left staved... read more

Best service ever. We came back following day and she remembered every detail about us. Really good and fast food with a great price. Awesome fresh doughnuts too. Very small but well worth the stop. read more

Tiny sandwich shop that makes you think you can run in and out to grab a quick sandwich but it can take a little longer during the lunch rush. Its location makes it convenient for folks coming in on Caltrain to grab some breakfast. For me, this is the closest spot to grab a Vietnamese sandwich at work. Sadly it's a pretty pedestrian one at that. I have only gotten the ham combo here but thought the bread was a little stale and lacking the district punch of flavor you would expect from the meaty pâté to pickled veggies. It will suffice for a quick lunch at your desk. Sadly not many options around the neighborhood for a bahn mi so this will have to suffice. Friendly folks that work here trying their best to move you through the line. They have other items on the menu like curries and stews but I wished they had more folks on the sandwich assembly line to speed things up. read more

My team at work was dying so I was on the hunt for some donuts to get everyone going. Found Latte Express and in the afternoon they still had donuts, we almost wiped them clean. Staff was super friendly, and the donuts were delicious. ENJOY! PS: There is a parking lot! and they don't charge. :D read more

One of the few pre-Covid businesses to survive, food has always been affordable and diverse. I enjoy their Philly cheese steaks and occasionally opt for a breakfast burrito. The owner is friendly and has always provided good eats for a decent price compared to the area. Great stop if you're in a hurry by the train station as most of the restaurants closed nearby. read more

We've been going here for a year and it seems today there is new ownership. Everything was different. New people and new items. Its always the wife and husband I believe, they work together but today was different for the first time in a year. The burgers state they come with fries but the woman only gave me one order of fries and said that we never said anything. It states on the menu it comes with fries!!!!! She then rang me up and took my card and entered the total and gives me a receipt and I notice she tipped herself 8.50. When I asked her how she got that, she said I submitted and pressed the button when I didn't even get a chance to see it. I confirmed with her the total she told me is different, the grand total was still on the register. She got annoyed and gave me the cash difference and said she doesn't know how she tipped herself 8.50. THEN, there was another lady on squatted inches off the ground, with her bare hands, removing the glaze off the donuts and throwing the glaze in a plastic bag. She then put the donuts back on display!!!! A guy walked in and asked for a latte and she gave him a different price than what's on the menu. Lied to him and said the card reader isn't working and if he could zelle her. The guys card finally goes through, after he took the machine from her hand and did it himself. The quality of the food was so bad today. The burger was drenched in mayo and the bacon, I put the pieces together, it was one strip shriveled up. I'm very disappointed because it was such a good burger. We've been going there for a year. The previous couple would know our order when we walked in, she'd already be writing it down. It used to be such a good diner style burger. It's the fact that she took it upon herself to give herself whatever she wanted without showing me. It bothers me because she could be doing it to people who don't speak English or elderly people who may not pay attention. read more

I walk past Latte Express everyday since it's a block from the CalTrain station. I stopped in this morning and they were nice enough to make me a veggie breakfast sandwich: egg, tomato, and cheese served on an English muffin for ~$3. I didn't try their coffee, but if you're in a hurry it probably doesn't get much quicker since you just walk in and pour your own cup. read more

Perfect mom and pop shop. So far I've had a breakfast burrito, breakfast croissant sandwich, chicken katsu, teriyaki chicken, pork sandwich, fries and philly steak sandwich obviously not all in one sitting lol. The food in general is good I enjoyed everything I ate. Don't expect something you'd eat in a newly gentrified location where the cooks have gone to culinary school or have a special pretentious ingredient they implement into everything. Yes there is usually a wait but considering there are only two people working I think it's reasonable. I suggest to call ahead 15 minutes if you want to quickly get in and out. Anyway definitely try this spot if you're looking for something to eat but don't know if you want fries or rice, you'll be safe picking anything off the menu. read more

Came because I saw Vietnamese sandwiches and breakfast being served and was surprised to see the large spread of offerings for this place: sandwiches, coffee, burgers, salads, pastries, and more! Not only that, but it seems that the owners have loyal customers because they were fairly busy when I came around 6:45AM on a Monday. They greet their regulars by name and have brief conversations while taking orders -- it's really refreshing to see especially during these times where social distancing has limited human interaction, so big props to the owners and their community! Anyways, I paid $19 for Vietnamese iced coffee, bagel with sausage / egg / cheese, glazed donut, and Vietnamese sandwich with pork,. Basically breakfast for two and lunch for one. Waited about 5-10 minutes the order be done. - Vietnamese Iced Coffee: too much ice imo. taste was similar to cold brew but still definitely hitting the same flavor profile that you'd expect from viet coffee. - Bagel with sausage / egg / cheese: pretty good! perfect balance of cheesy and savory tastes, with crunchy and soft textures. served warm and cut in half. next time, I'll ask to add bacon. - Glazed donut: SOOO GOOD! Glaze was just the level of sweetness. Dough was perfectly risen to fluffy, yeasty goodness. Best donut I've had since I've moved to the city (which was a year ago!). Would definitely get this again. - Vietnamese sandwich w lemon grass pork: Really great flavor from the pork, but wish there was more pickles and that they used pate. On the pricier side, but still good value. Overall, seems like a really nice place to get your breakfast for a decent price. If you like donuts and are in the SF SOMA area, this is the place to get your fix. Please note: there is a $5 card minimum, and they do not take AMEX. read more

So....this is one of my early morning places where I can cure my breakfast cravings.....an alternative to McDonald's Sausage McMuffin with Eggs. I usually get the Breakfast Sandwich (Egg, Sausage, Cheese, sandwiched in a Muffin.) (be sure to have them add mustard) here. They are quick and easy to eat on the run. Breakfast here is cheaper than McDonald's, they do use a real egg for the sandwich. Sandwich has always been served hot to me. Many other choices if the Breakfast Sandwich is not your choice of preference. This place recommended if your in the area. Good small place with a few tables. Usually less than $5 covers my breakfast sandwich and drink. Last time McDonald's was over $6.00 for the same. Enjoy!! read more

For under $10 you can have a wonderful meal here...They have Bahn mi, sandwiches, bagels and more. They are very friendly here and they make the food very fast. The number on file doesn't work so you will have to go in but it is worth it. They just started offering blended coffee - yum. read more

First time at Latte Express today. The business opens at 5:30 am and has steaming hot coffee ready to be consumed by early risers and early morning contractors. There are pastries and hot breakfast available beginning at 5:30 am. This is a great way to start your morning!!! read more

You wouldn't think that a donut/coffee shop would have good food, but this place does. I'm a huge fan of their bacon breakfast sandwich. The ones at Starbucks just taste organic. If I'm going to get something with bacon, then I'd want a little good ole American grease to go with it. The breakfast burrito is pretty good as well. Their burgers are good as well. They don't use fancy aioli or a special sauce. Its just a plain old, straight forward burger that does the job when you're craving one. I do wish they still made Banh Mi sandwiches. I use to love their combination and their grilled pork Banh Mis. read more

Ordered a dozen donut holes. There were only 9 in the bag. Really?
