    Coffee And The Vegetable Sandwich
    Steve A.

    Got lunch at this cool cafe. It has a good location in the Civic Center neighborhood. Planet Cafe is only open for breakfast and lunch on the weekdays. Limited hours but certainly not on flavor. The menu is mostly typical cafe fare such as sandwiches. At lunch is a good time to go here. It's only open for breakfast and lunch. The menu is pretty simple. Has the basics of a deli. It's about $11 for a sandwich. Each of us got one of the vegetarian choices. I had the Vegetable Sandwich. This came with avocados, cucumbers, hummus, lettuce, red onions, and tomatoes. Also they can make and deliver kids' lunches. This is nice of them to be sure with already having there being a limited amount of food they can make. Basic looking cafe. It's only a few tables inside. This is a good place for takeout, but you still have enough room to eat inside, and there's the one sandwich option that's okay for vegetarians.

    Planet sweet crepe: banana, strawberries, drizzled with Nutella.

    Small place--it fit our family of 5 at the front table comfortably--order at the counter type of place. Feels off the beaten path. Parking was available and proved to be a good place for a quick breakfast for both sweet and savory crepes. Ambiance--definitely felt the throw back to France vibe, small cafe owned and run immigrants.

    Bagel and Egg Breakfast Sandwich

    Cute little cafe with a solid breakfast bagel. They seem to be known for their crepes so worth trying next time!

    Planet Cafe looks like another moderate mom and pop shop that serves coffee. I decided to have a smoothie for $5. It had pineapple and blueberry. It was good to try. I noticed they serve Ethiopian food. It's not a fancy place, but interesting for Ethiopian. This is in Hayes Valley.

    Banana Nutella Crepe
    John B.

    Very friendly and hospitable owner. Delicious crepes and good coffee! Planet Cafe is a small cafe, but the food is outstanding. I will return.

    The Smoked Salmon Salad to go.
    L J.

    The salmon salad to go. The bread was delicious, well buttered and toasted perfectly. The salmon was fresh and also delicious. I'll be doing this for lunch many more times.

The sandwich was extremely fresh and flavorful but the star was the Dutch crunch bread. Definitely one of the best I've tried and just elevated the sandwich as a whole. 10/10 might have to grab two next time I'm in the city!

You start in the back toward the center to place your order, then move to line up on the left side to pick it up and add toppings to hot sandwiches. After that, you bring everything to the front to pay. Quite few people, us included, were a little unsure where to go next. The sandwiches made up for it. I got the tri tip special with garlic butter and swapped the Swiss for pepperjack. The meat was sliced thin and really tender, and the garlic butter a perfect addition. I'm not usually big on sauces, but they have a good variety of house options if that's your thing. We'll definitely be back. I was also happy to see they have another location in San Bruno.

I got the breakfast sandwich which was delicious, and my friend ordered the turkey sandwich which they also loved. One thing to note is that they don't allow substitutions or modifications, so just be aware of that going in. It's more of a deli/grocery-style spot, so there isn't much seating, just a few tables and chairs outside. But it's super close to Dolores Park, so we usually just grab our sandwiches and head there to eat. The chocolate chip cookie was also a standout. It's more of a brown butter, dark chocolate situation, rich but really well balanced, and the perfect sweet treat after the sandwich. Since we came right before closing, they even gave us the last cookie for free, which was such a nice surprise!! The staff was friendly and made great conversation. Would definitely go back.
