Came here during the week for brunch and their Banana Caramel French Toast was delicious, it was a nice and smooth texture, I recommend. I tried a sip of my friend's Horchata Latte and it was delicious as well. I had tried their Mexican Hot Chocolate and it was my first time ever trying Mexican Hot Chocolate, and I'm addictive now! Haha. I didn't think too much of it but I had ordered me a chocolate muffin and didn't care whether it was warmed up or not and they were nice enough to have it slightly warm for me which I thought was thoughtful :). The price is pretty reasonable for the quality of food. P.S. I had took a few photos of the bathroom pics that they had on the wall which I thought was cute and quirky. read more

Stepping into the cafe felt like I was in a different country. The layout was spacious and welcoming. The area to order was walk up and had a kiosk to make things simple. I had a to-go order pick up and the packaging was cute, I always love when they write my name on the bag, it feels like an extra step to make it feel personal/special. I got the tuna bagel sandwich and an iced coffee. The tuna was perfect with the bagel giving almost a charcuterie/pate and cracker kind of vibe. The coffee was cold and strong. Prices are fair. Will definitely be back to journal or do some work! read more

Decided to walk on the wild side & get Avocado Toast on a bagel instead of bread slice. Woohoo. Good choice. Toasted everything bagel, greens & perfectly ripe avocado. A lot of cafes serve underripe tasteless avocados, not here. I wish there was more avocado & less greens, purely subjective. L's Cafe is on 24th street, in the authentic Spanish speaking portion deep in the Mission District. Think I was the only person incapable of forming an entire sentence in Spanish. If someone had asked me where the library is, I'd be all over it. I forgot to bring something to read so I enjoyed listening to the loud talker across the way. Isn't there always a loud talker? The group was planning a show at the nearby Brava Theater. Actually, she was planning the show and her posse listened. The cafe is pretty shop worn, filled with some really nice paintings & a whole lot of kitsch. Cuckoo clock, giant plastic pizza slice woman with crossed legs wearing knee socks & some really expensive Dr Martins. Order counter is up a couple steps, but if you can't navigate, there's also a computer screen for ordering. The counter has a coffee cup on its side with faux spilled coffee. The signage reminds me of the lone cafes I'd find along a back mountain road leading to Tahoe. They used to have access to a back patio during COVID, sadly no more So if you happen to be at Benjamin Moore picking out colors, cross the street & have lunch. Super friendly service. No regrets. Support Local! read more

I originally came here as part of TotMW, circa 2018 or 2019--it was definitely before COVID--and it was just sitting there in my bookmarks. Then I unexpectedly moved to the Mission, so I needed to try it at least two more times, this time as a local. It's a friendly place. The people who work here are universally nice, and they do a good job of cleaning tables and keeping the place tidy. My only real criticism of the space itself is the godawful way they mismeasured before adding the seat padding, so they cut out individual holes in the padding for the electrical outlets. It looks so bad! The food is very good. I normally stick to the vegetarian breakfast burrito, but I've had other breakfast items as well, and everything is good. It's not the best value for the price, but they don't really skimp on anything. I've spent quite some time reading here, and especially in the late morning or after the lunch rush, it feels fine to take up space without ordering more. Just be aware that seating is limited, and also that it's a family-friendly place, so there are often small children running around and laughing. If you are on 24th Street and are looking for a pleasant place to hang out for a while, L's is probably the best spot in the neighborhood to do that. read more

Food was ready within 10min after making order. Very filling sandwich with crispy bacon, tasty ham and crisp lettuce. Fun to switch from savory sandwich to sweet fruit to creamy egg and potato salad until it was all gone. Work from home is nice when you can get a great lunch so quick and easy. read more

Stopped by here on the way to work after seeing it was highly rated. We were pretty disappointed. Our hot drinks were unbearably hot and burnt my mouth. The breakfast bagel was also bland and flavorless. The vibe was also kind of off there and I didn't find the staff very friendly. read more

They make bomb coffee. They have great breakfast and lunch options. Their sweet treats are a delightful indulgence. They're a local hang out spot for many Natives. They have an outside patio. I stopped fkn with Philz long before they closed bc this spot just felt more...real and the coffee was more reasonable for the quality and the friendly service. Do yourself a favor. Call in your order direct to the cafe. read more

Walking by, I smelled something really good, I didn't have time to find out what it is or eat but it prompted me to get a latte. Usually I don't review latte but this latte is quite strong. I'm surprised to find such good latte at a Mexican Cafe. read more

Was in the area and stopped in for a sandwich. Got the garden club with a fruit salad and potato salad. Sandwich was good, potato salad was a little over-dressed, and the fruit was fresh and delicious. The staff were pleasant, decor is cute (especially the bathroom). As I was leaving, I smelled something cinnamon-y like French toast... smelled so good. A little expensive at $20 (i live in Sac, so that might just be a standard price for SF), but otherwise a nice little spot. read more

Great find in the neighborhood for a delicious lunch in a casual atmosphere. Order at the kiosk or the counter, easy to customize your order. Recommend the iced chai latte, Belgium waffles & BLTA sandwich. Large sandwich, ate half, and enjoyed the other half to-go. Slow service for food and coffee dining in, but very friendly staff. Check out the design of the restroom inside, fun aesthetic! Enjoyable, would return. read more

This is a quaint little cafe with incredible food. I had the chipotle chicken bagel and have to say, it is the best bagel sandwich I've ever had. My husband also thought his burrito was fantastic. We also tried the coconut and manijar blanco cookie. It reminded me of a perfect shortbread. I love this place. It reminds me of home. read more

This is L's Caffè, but it's a W in my book. Super friendly staff will remember you after the the 3rd visit. So long as you don't mix it up on them too much, they'll probably remember your order too. The spot to order is just up the landing past the covid era kiosk. They are open earlier than most spots along 24th. Their breakfast bagels are solid, and they offer a decent range of pastries. Their menu is pretty hefty. I'm a to go guy myself, but the dining area is pretty cute and full of kitch. They even have a working cookoo clock. They'll hand off a table number and run your order to the table. read more

Ive been a loyal customer of their's for a while now- what keeps me coming back is the quality of food and great service. If I have time, I would go to L's caffe before work or during lunch; if I'm pressed on time I door dash to my workplace. My favs are the Chicken Pesto Sandwich and the Jalapeño cheese bagel w/ cream cheese. I had salads from here too and they do not disappoint. read more

It's a neat place, lots of room and space, with Wi-Fi. I would recommend this as a good place to get some work done! I have not tried any food, just coffee. Based on the recommendation, I opted for the Mexican Mocha Coffee which is not typically something I order. He mentioned it was a little sweet, and I asked to dial it back a bit. Overall, good coffee - hit the spot for me. If I had it at the original sugar level, it might have been too sweet... like a dessert. read more

Great quick stop to get breakfast food ( until 2:30!) which is rare for sf or regular sandwiches. I liked how strong my iced vanilla latte was from here as well. It has very hole in the wall energy with a friendly couple running the joint. I can see this being a go to for the UCSF workers and doctors next door. I didn't realize how close it was to my morning bus stop , so will be coming back for sure. read more

Cute casual place on 24th- you order at the counter via a tablet (or just face to face) and they will bring the food to the table. I had the orange sesame salad, which was a generously sized salad with a lot of chicken and some nice garlic bread. Definitely very filling. The husband had the breakfast burrito, which he also thought was solid. Food came out in a timely manner. Overall very low key place serving good solid food. read more

Been here a couple of times, both times for brunch/lunch food. I really enjoyed the food I ordered. I had two different kind of bagels, the butter & jelly and the blueberry bagel with jelly and cream (only the butter and jelly is pictured). My favorite of the two was the butter & jelly, it was affordable and I only needed one to get me satisfied. The blueberry with jelly and cream was also good but I would t get it twice. For lunch food, I ate the Cuban sandwich. This was also very filling. I was able to save a half of the sandwich for a later time and it still tasted great. This place is easy to miss, in the middle of a lot of stores and doesn't have a big flashy sign but it's definitely worth the visit. The contactless ordering booth was really nice, super easy to use and got my order in quick. Overall very pleasant experience, would recommend. read more

This is one of the quieter eateries on 24th, certainly an area that has no dearth of restaurants both good and bad. This one was somewhere in between, a semi-hidden deli and coffeehouse that I stumbled upon as the street was being demolished. I'm not sure why I entered since I could still hear the jackhammers from the inside, but I figured I could get some lunch anyway. I went with the $11.50 Orange Sesame Salad with Grilled Chicken which was a decent enough mix of romaine lettuce, Valencia oranges, toasted almonds, and sesame seeds with a balsamic vinaigrette (photo: http://bit.ly/2Wdp6AC). The misstep came with the $5.95 cup of Beef Barley Soup, a daily special that wasn't so special (photo: http://bit.ly/2Wgp22W). Time to face the jackhammers again. FOOD - 3 stars...that soup compromised my entire lunch AMBIANCE - 3 stars...low-key SERVICE - 2.5 stars...unobtrusive TOTAL - 3 stars...just not that memorable RELATED - Milling about in the Mission?

A solid cute neighrbohood cafe, good for casual brunches. Pros: friendly workers, great breakfast bagels and omelettes, no waiting for seating for a casual brunch. Cons: It's pretty basic and no frills. No special dishes, just what you would expect at average for SF (so not exactly cheap) pricing. read more

amazing service!!!! i love coming here all the time , their breakfast bagels are delicious

Really a 3.5 but rounding up. Service is friendly. Bagel sandwiches are decent. Drinks are not great. Have ordered coffee, tea, and chai latte on separate occasions and never bothered to finish my drink - forgetting every time that I dont like them. Their chipotle cream cheese is also quite tasty! In case you're not much of a bagel sandwich fan. Plenty of seats, cute decor, and usually can find street parking in this area. read more

We lived in The Mission for a month, and I'd like to proudly boast that this is my neighborhood spot. L's has almost everything on their menu - coffees, bagels, salads, breakfast burritos, sandwiches, parfaits, honestly they do it all, and usually that's a negative for me, but not here! They do it all pretty well and with really awesome service. We came here at 6am on Xmas Eve day to pick up some pre-hike goodies and they were enthusiastic and accommodating. Neighborhood gem! read more
