I go to the Moonlight Cafe quite often. I like the fact that they are open from 8 to 8 every day, and offer great meals at a reasonable price. The staff is exceptionally friendly! read more

Wonderful neighborhood place tucked away on lovely Cortland avenue. Moonlight cafe is low on frills and big on heart. They treat everyone like their best customer, serving a variety of breakfast and lunch options so that there's something for everyone. A place where friends meet up young and young at heart. And families and bring their kids to be treated like little princesses and princes. read more

Moonlight Cafe - Fantastic home fries with my Cancun omelette - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm kind of being nice because two stars means overall bad experience but I just don't like their food at all. I've lived in the neighborhood my whole life and I just never liked anything I've tried there. Like... not sure if not cooked well (like they overcook it) but it's just not impressive. Not very flavorful. The service is great though and the people are very nice. Maybe I'll find something I like there one day? I would suggest going to mixed traditions next door or even Bernal star. Sorry moonlight cafe... I tried! read more

My daughter and I came across this cafe while in the exploring the area. The exterior was cute and the staff were friendly and inviting - matching the vibe of the neighborhood. The food was tasty and comforting, helping to distract us from the chilly weather that day. If you're in the area, stop in and catch a bite! read more

Step Into The Moonlight!! I've come here twice with a friend recently and had great breakfasts and good experiences both times. Sam and the staff are friendly and answer questions and offer suggestions for whatever you want from their extensive menu. The first visit, I had the omelette with smoked salmon and feta cheese and my friend had scrambled eggs and we both had house potatoes. The second time I had French toast with bacon and house potatoes and my friend had the burger (on a great looking bun!) with fries. All of the food was very tasty and perfectly cooked in no time at all. My friend adds: Yes, the hamburger buns are fantastic [wish I knew where to buy the same]. The portion sizes are generous. French fries are excellent and the house potatoes are also. All of the food has been great. Very good, attentive service and the food came quickly. My only disappointment is the draft ice tea comes in too-small of a mug [I am not aware of a free refill policy, but should ask if they have one next time]. My getting a Snapple tea with a mug of ice gave me more than three mugs worth of beverage. So all in all, it is definitely worth a stroll into Moonlight Cafe! read more

Just had a very strange experience with Moonlight Cafe- I ordered/paid through the ordermoonlightcafe.com web site that Yelp links to as the official Moonlight Cafe site. When I got there to pick up, my order was ready but they said I hadn't paid, even though I showed them my credit card app entry for MOONLIGHTCAFE. I tried to show them the links and ordering process, but they didn't want to hear about it. I had to leave hungry since I didn't want to pay twice, and now I need to call my credit card company to dispute the charge. I'm really not sure what happened, but I'd warn other customers against ordering/paying through the web site. read more

This is a lovely little homey, neighborhood cafe on Cortland Street in the heart of Bernal Heights. It is the first time I have visited this place, but was very pleased with the varied menu selections - it was a cold day, and I saw that they had ramen - the thought of a piping hot bowl of ramen struck me as just the thing to have, and I was not disappointed - I added some chicken for protein and it was all very tasty (and a big bowl!). You go to the counter to order your items, and then they are brought to your table. My companion and I were there during the mid-afternoon, so we were only interested in snacks at that time, (my friend had fries and tea - but they also serve coffee drinks). We ended up staying for quite a long time, as we were talking a lot, and we were never made to feel uncomfortable about that - the two people in the kitchen/behind the counter were very friendly and helpful and made us feel most welcome. As we were leaving, the dinner crowd was starting to arrive - it seems they have a following of regulars - and I can see why - you just feel at home here. read more

I ordered ahead of time for pick-up, so I didn't have to wait for my food, since it wasn't open for dine in during COVID-19. I got the Chicken Pesto Savory Crepe that comes with Potatoes. It had Mushroom, Tomato, Onion, Chicken, Pesto, and Provalone Cheese. It has good flavor that reminded me of childhood when I used to get this. The taste was exactly the same. The problems are that some of the Chicken was dry and they have really downsized. The meal used to be enough to fill a plate, but now it is a small Crepe that is barely enough for one person. Definitely not worth that much money even though it still tastes like the same savory Crepe with Chicken and Pesto. It is just too expensive for the amount of food you get. Overall, if you want to be ripped off getting a tiny meal that is barely enough for one person, then this is the place for you. If not, I would recommend another place that is less expensive. read more

My bf and I usually go to Precita Park Cafe, which we LOVEEE! But decided to switch things up and try someplace new.

I love this place and the staff. I work around the corner and this is our go to place for it all. The fact that they cater to gluten free customers makes it even better.Their Greek chicken salad with never let you down, eggs Benedict is so flipping good, the fries are the best especially dipped in ketchup as well as their grilled chicken sandwiches. This place is beyond amazing and wish that had multiple locations. read more

Visited this place around noon on a weekday. We were able to place our order right away and the staff was very helpful in giving us suggestions. We got our food pretty quickly, I ordered the tuna salad and it was delicious. Ended up taking the food to-go but the place was pretty quiet and the staff was welcoming, perfect if you want to sit down and take a bite. read more

Veggie delight friendly here! Cafe and you pay at the counter. My friend and I went here after a healthy hike to Mount Davidson and Bernal Heights hill. She needed her veggie diet because her doc said that she needs to control her cholesterol otherwise it can spiral out. To support that regime, I ordered up the Mediterranean platter and she ordered the garden burger. I went out of the way to not get mayo in hers. It was great! I felt filled up with fiber and heartily full (as in not bloated and heavy). Besides the veggies, they have the meat and brunch plates! Straightforward and good to grab light eats. It was delightful and happy Friday! read more

Moonlight Cafe - Breakfast with the family on a rainy day. - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm so glad I decided to go here for breakfast today. Rather than waiting in a long line for Sunday brunch, I strolled right into moonlight cafe, ordered, and sat down right away. My latte was brought out within minutes, followed closely by my two crepes. I got the Basilico savory crepe (tomatoes, onions, basil and provolone) and the Nutella crepe with banana. The savory crepe came with country style potatoes, cooked perfectly with a light salad on the side. Located on a cute street in Bernal heights, it's a nice area to walk around after or sit outside and people watch. The crepes were light and fluffy with plentiful toppings. I loved the hustle of the staff, they really work hard to get the food out quick! Will definitely be returning to try more of those delicious crepes and maybe one of their omelettes or bagel sandwiches next time. read more

I order from here almost every week for breakfast. I love their salmon savory crepe. It has capers, smoked salmon (but not too smoked), spinach, onions, etc. The dish is massive- I usually eat it as 2 meals. I've had everything from their steel cut oatmeal to their falafel sandwich. All prepared well and always delicious. Can't go wrong with this place. For drinks: If you order in, they serve you freshly squeezed OJ in a frosted glass. It's so good, my family still talks about it when I took them there 2 years ago, during their visit. Also, their mango ice tea (unsweetened) is addicting. It has just a hint of mango flavor- that adds another level of awesome to my favorite ice drink. read more

Food was great. I just wish they had hash browns, but their potatoes were not bad either. read more

I'm not sure why I never ventured into the Moonlight Cafe before, but on a walk one day I decided to stop for lunch. I like consulting my Yelp App on my iPhone to tell me what's open and where to go. Good Choice. It seems they do a lot of breakfast, brunch and lunch ad have quite the selection. I ordered a cheeseburger which came with french fries. I put a big heart of condiments on my burger to show my appreciation. The fries were good, those really long and big potato fries when served crispy and not oily - are just the perfect big fries. I ate about half the burger and fries, took the rest to go. I even enjoyed my burger leftovers the next day. read more

Located in the Bernal Heights District of San Francisco, this shop has such a variety of tasteful selections to choose from. The shop is simple, nothing fancy, with a sumo wrestler look-a-like Buddha overlooking the interior. I ordered a bagel w/pesto, feta and tomato. You get a choice of bagel: onion, pumpernickel, poppy seed, plain, I chose an everything- I wanted it all! ...and got it for $4.75. Water faucet and cups available on the side. Service was good. Bathroom had a bunch of graffiti, but was clean enough to do what I had to do. read more

Don't expect to be wowed by the interior; just know that service is friendly, and food is made quickly. Plenty of street parking in the neighborhood. Order and pay at the counter, and your food will be brought to you afterwards. There's a good amount of indoor seating, but there's also a few tables outside as well. I've tried the crepes, bagel sandwiches, and burgers, along with the carrot juice, and have not been disappointed. This place is my go-to breakfast joint when I'm in the neighborhood. read more

Great place, very friendly local cafe with a wide variety to choose from. Love the breakfasts, and come for lunch often.

Love this place. Lattes are excellent and so are the potatoes!! Also had French toast always love it every time I come in!

I ordered through Uber Eats as a desperate late weekday morning attempt for breakfast while severely jet lagged. In my delirium, I forgot to take photos of everything. I liked their sustainable packaging (the box with the crêpe was 100% recycled materials). Almost no vegan options bummed me out, so I settled for a vegetarian meal not knowing there were plenty of vegan places closer to me. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese, the Mediterranean crêpe (with potatoes), and a chai latte. 1. The bagel was delicious! Well toasted, with a good amount of cream cheese. I'm glad I ordered it last second as an add on, because it was the only thing I enjoyed. 2. The chai latte was foamy, but did not have strong spice, and was fairly bitter/ not sweet. It didn't impress me, and didn't satisfy my desire for a good chai. 3. The Mediterranean crêpe wasn't my speed, which surprised me because I love both crêpes and Mediterranean flavors. The cheese in it was off-putting (the cheddar was low quality tasting; the feta was okay, but no other flavors helped bring it together like usual in Mediterranean dishes), and the artichokes were too big, creating a difficult eating experience. The crêpe had plenty of filling, but I feel like I didn't get to enjoy the flavor of the crêpe itself because it was so full. The potatoes were fine -- overall that meal was not worth $17 to me, and it tasted like American diner food. The bottom line is: There are probably a ton of better cafés closer to where I'm staying that use higher quality ingredients and are more of what I'm looking for. I attribute my decision to eat here to Uber Eats' suggestion; next time I know better that this food simply isn't for me! read more

This place has been fooling Bernal for years with their mediocre, overpriced food. I moved here 20 years ago and have eaten at Moonlight Cafe all of three times. Each time has been a disappointment. Super salty Benedict that was cold. Nothing like congealed butter sauce over eggs to start your day off. The scrambled eggs were bone dry. Salads were under dressed and boring. The crepes...well to call them crepes is insulting. More like eggy tortillas. Thick, burnt, and rubbery Good on you Moonlight. You got me again but this will be the last time. Thank you and good luck read more

4 STARZ for excellent service! I gotta share with you that the staff here have always been excellent. I have been here several times and their food is always good and they get it to your table quick especially during lunch hours. The owner is always friendly.

This is a great place for lunch! Flavorful food, pleasant service, and a casual, clean setting. Our group of 5 adults, 2 kids, and 1 infant in a stroller was welcomed and accommodated. The menu is diverse, and our group enjoyed savory crepes, burgers, and falafel. The food was fresh and tasty. The service was polite and friendly. The set up is such that you order at the counter, and your food is then brought to your table. The space is reasonably spacious by SF standards, simple, and clean. Overall, this is a great, family-friendly spot for a casual meal! I only wish it was open for dinner! read more

I really wanted to like this place, neighborhood spot, both parents Bernal kids. Ordered 2 full sticks of pancakes, sausages and a mocha. In special direction out extra butter. The food came hot, so I thought that was a good start. But then I opened the bag, not only did I not get extra butter, I got NO butter. No butter, no syrup, no cutlery and no napkins. So I was upset. Went to eat the food.... the pancakes tasted as if they used spoiled dairy. I've never had sour pancakes in my life, so that was a fail. Sausage was sausage, nothing great; missing those certain spices though. The white chocolate mocha tasted like it was made from a powdered mix and water. No chocolate taste oddly not even an espresso taste. I will not order take out or delivery from this Place again. Maybe when the pandemic ends I will go there to eat, so if I need something I can ask for it there. read more

I was in the neighborhood and itching for a breakfast sando. Dropped by and got the egg + cheese croissant with sausage. Tallied up to be $12 with tax and all the other silly "SF mandates". At that price point, I'm thinking killer everything and loaded a few inches thick. Well, it came out looking like a $5 croissant sando, and to no surprise, tasted like a $5 sando. Nothing wrong with a $5 looking and tasting bfast sando, just don't charge $12 for that. INSANE. read more
