    Ocean Beach cafe is a very cool cafe and NA bar. They have a variety of NA beers/wines, probably the most curated selection of hot sauces I've ever seen to compliment your food, and good vibes. They have ample indoor seating as well as outdoor seating in a parklet. It felt like a relaxing spot. We got the spicy chicken sandwich with chips and I grabbed the garlic parm hot sauce from the communal hot sauce bar to add to the side. The sandwich was solid and very packed! It was pretty big and I actually took half to-go. It is a little pricey but that just might be the economy. I recommend stopping by for food and drinks especially after a beach a day!

    Stopped by here after a workout to refuel. Roast beef sandwich: B- The roast beef was quite good, super tender and easy to bite through. The rest of the sandwich components were just alright. Would have liked a different bread and to be toasted. Also they serve it with a side of kettle potato chips. Service was super fast and they have a pretty good selection of drinks.

    We came to Ocean Beach Cafe after walking around the beach. It took a while to place the order because there was a long line. There were only a few tables inside, but outside seating was available. It was a bit hot inside the cafe since it was packed. I ordered the Draft Cold Coffee. The coffee was good and strong. It took a while to receive my order because the staff was busy. Overall, we enjoyed our visit to Ocean Beach Cafe. It has fun vibes and offers good drinks.

    Cute little place, no ocean view, though, as they advertise/allude to on their IG page. We were bummed that there was no actual bar to sit at since it's marketed as SF's "Only NA Bar" and it was a little cluttered inside. BUT, with the critiques out of the way, I'm happy to report that the food was tasty and the drinks were even better! The staff were very friendly, and made the food and drinks right in front of us. Overall, I'll be back, especially since there's not a whole lot of Kava bars around!

    This is a great location for breakfast and coffee right next to the beach. The breakfast sandwich was so good and the bread pudding was amazing! There is outdoor patio seating and the line moves pretty quickly.

    Such a cute little spot and great to grab a coffee or bite to eat for the beach. Staff were nice too!

    Epic Breakfast Bagel Sandwich / Iced Latte

    Stumbled upon Ocean Beach Cafe because we wanted to use the Blackbird app. My friend got an iced matcha latte and I ordered a regular latte. Unfortunately, the app didn't work on the cafe's side, so we weren't able to get our drinks free like it was supposed to. We mentioned it to the staff, but they just said they've been having issues with the app. A little disappointing, especially since we didn't realize until after we got our drinks. As for the drinks--the iced matcha was super sweet, but my iced latte was solid. The real winner though? The Epic Breakfast Bagel Sandwich. WOW. Probably the best breakfast bagel sandwich I've had in a long time. Totally worth coming back just for that alone. The cafe itself is adorable, with a cozy vibe and an amazing location just a short walk from both Ocean Beach and Golden Gate Park. Bonus: they've got a huge selection of different non-alcoholic drinks, which is super unique. Overall, I'd come back for the food, especially that bagel sandwich.

    Drip coffee and vanilla latte are amazing. But the real special thing is their Kava haven. Goes down really smoothly and gives the perfect buzz with no alcohol :) Workers are very nice too and the ambiance is perfect.

    love this place so much!!! grabbed two of the breakfast bagel sandwiches before heading to the beach, and they were super filling and hearty. service was pretty quick and they have free water and WiFi while you wait. I love looking at their selection of local goods, including non alcoholic drinks and wines!

    I really love this place. It's the perfect little beach cafe. Lovely outdoor seating, 1 block off the beach. The coffee is delicious the people are friendly and the Epic breakfast sandwich is the best!! It's huge! It turns into a sloppy mess. Be sure to request they cut it in half. HUGE awesome amazing part of this location is a phenomenal variety of non-alcoholic and alternative social drinks. Definitely worth a stop in to peruse!!

    Amazing spot, so close to the beach and there's ample parking. I highly recommend this place. The servers are awesome and kind! The food is warm and delicious. I recommend the breakfast sando! There's outdoor seating available as well as indoor and they're fully accessible as well as the bathroom in the back. The vibe is unmatched -nice music, decorated with some surf stuff and succulents.

    This is my favorite cafe in the neighborhood!!! The food is so delicious, I'd recommend the vegan avocado wrap (even if you aren't vegan) and the golden chai! They have an awesome selection of N/A drinks and they can also make specialty mocktails. Not only are they N/A but they can also be ~feel good~ if you know what I mean (kava, hemp, mushrooms etc). The staff is super nice and I highly recommend!

    I came by Ocean Beach Cafe before heading out to Land's End and we picked up a passionfruit kouign amann and a drip coffee to go. The coffee is nice and strong, perfect for the typical cloudly, cold weather around Land's End and the kouign amann was nice and flaky with a sweet tart center. It's such a nice quick stop if you're in the area and definitely one of my go-tos.

Wonderful, helpful staff and friendly service from all. This place was amazing. I was so happy to try out Lomo Libre. We started with the Cesar salad with shrimp. Great flavor, very fresh, avocado, and shrimp added for some nice crunch and seafood. Next the Oysters with the leche de Tigre and ceviche clasico. Both were briny, salty, citrusy,and plump. Next came the Lomo saltado and tallarin saltado. The sauce was just enough for both and not overpoweringly salty, sweet, or anything. Lastly was the chaufa. Not my favorite, a little over seasoned to my liking, but great still. My favorite from the night was the ceviche clasico and Lomo saltado. Everything from the night was amazing though and I will definitely be back for more!

For those of us who only eat outdoors, there are a few tables outside the bar that are pretty comfortable although it can get windy. From the minute we arrived, we were greeted with friendliness, all of the menus we might need, and an explanation of drinks, beer and wine. We chose to go all out and got a small pizza, their delicious onion dip, meatballs - more on that later - and buffalo wings. I was a bit disappointed that the happy hour wine was a Chardonnay and not the Ferentino that they let me taste, but the replacement house May logger was delicious. My husband had a steam beer, which was also very good. Throughout the service was impeccable, and we actually met the manager, Jon, who had a long conversation with us about the history of the bar and how they were trying to be a neighborhood comfortable place which they certainly have succeeded at. Now for the food - the meatballs were the best I have ever had in San Francisco and I am Italian from New York so that's saying something. We actually let Jon know who told the chef and it turns out the chef is from New Jersey so that makes a lot of sense. The onion dip is something like I've never had before. It's a crème fraîche with scallions I think? And maybe a bit of garlic and housemaid chips. We ate every single bite and actually dipped our pizza crust in the rest of the dip. The margarita pizza was also very good and as I finished it off for lunch today, I can tell you it's just as good the next day. The buffalo wings were what I would call actual buffalo style - I could taste the butter, hot sauce and garlic powder like back in the day on the East Coast. The chicken itself was good, not fatty, and the sauce was just like I want it. They offered ranch and blue cheese dip, which was great. We then had further conversations with almost all the staff who were so welcoming and friendly. We don't live super nearby, but I know we're going to go back to dinner, because I am dying to get their pork chop that looked really good. They also came and helped us put the stuff in boxes and explained the best way to take pizza home, which I never knew before. I can't wait to go back again
