Robin's is a regular haunt for me. They stand out with some fresh juices as well as amazing chais (always dirty please!) Seating is great with lots of plants. Inside and out and a back room. Lots of food options. Awesome staff who will remember you. They play amazing interesting music here. Mostly indie upbeat house dance electronic etc. It's basically kind of inside ODC. read more

Wednesday, 12:30: My second visit, back for their avocado toast, and it did not disappoint. Again I nixed the butter, because why? The avocado was perfectly ripe and creamy. The salt & pepper enhanced the flavor profile. Loved the almost hard-boiled egg on the side, yoke a tad melty in the center. Be still my heart, the avocado toast was actually toasted, enough that I could eat with my hand instead of struggling with a fork & glorified butter knife. Must be a San Francisco thing, every else on my travels the cafes own a toaster & actually use it. Last time I sat outside on a cafe table, pretty sweet. The indoor space is huge. It's big enough to handle some laptop squatters & still have a few open table for people who actually bought something to eat. Hello, it's a cafe. All well except for the completely oblivious woman having a conference call at high volume. Ever heard of headphones? Sigh. Yeah, I'm crabby. No matter, excellent meal, I'll definitely be back.

When I come to Robin's, I always get the same thing the BLT slider, which is very very good. I highly recommend it. The bacon is incredible so today being lunchtime I decided to finally try something new and I had the steak sandwich. Also very very good and highly recommended now that I know that so many other things are great. I'm gonna have to come back soon and try everything the great little spot he can skip the long line at the stable and come here. Coffee is also great. I usually get an espresso in the morning when I take my dog to the park. Staff is always nice. Know me by name and are always very sweet. read more

Wandered into this cute cafe for a matcha latte to go and ended up sitting down to enjoy the tastiest steak sandwich and a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie, too! The ambiance was Insta-worthy, the service was friendly and prompt. Cookies were just out of the oven and the sandwich was made to order with an amazing pepper sauce, fresh greens, melted mozzarella (or a choice of cheddar) and tender steak. I spoke to Enrique who said they bake everything fresh and the bread for the sandwiches is ordered from Panorama everyday. Love that it was chewy inside and crispy on the outside but not enough to give you roof rakers. A neighborhood gem. read more

I ordered an iced matcha latte with oat milk and some honey, and it tasted really watered down. I could barely taste any matcha or any oat milk. Maybe their hot drinks are better, but I'm confused about how this place has such highly rated reviews. read more

Owners husband is Extremely rude , he got upset over my friend bringing her own coffee in to the establishment and all we were doing was ordering something to-go and we were going on our Mary way . never ever going back his face still haunts me he almost felt threatening . Super trash , only reason why it's still open is because people from the near by clinic only have that place to hit up also for what it's worth the food is super bland and not worth it . read more

Awesome cafe! We came here recently to get some work done. Cafe has a ton of seating, fast WiFi, and is super spacious. Staff is also extremely friendly. We had some questions about their orange juice as it was way lighter than we typically expect, and instead of just answering, the lady cut open the orange they use and had us try! I got a cortado, and it was solid. Espresso was pulled well, and the milk was steamed just right. The orange juice we got was also super distinct; almost had a banana flavor to it, probably due to the different types of oranges they use right now. Really awesome place, definitely give them a go! read more

Robin's Cafe is an absolute gem cafe in the mission district. It is very spacious and the staff is very friendly. I always get either the Chipotle steak or Pork Belly sandwich. Both of these sandwiches are very tasty, meaty, crunchy, and i highly recommend! I'm not a big eater, but dare i say, I could eat two in one seating. It's close to Dolores park as well, so you can even stop by to grab a sandwich before heading to the park. read more

Robin's Cafe - Roasted Chipotle Steak Sandwich - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

I always drive by this coffee shop and never have time to stop by, until last weekend. I was meeting a friend and we're deciding we're to meet, I remember this place since we were going to Dolores Park afterwards. The place was not busy, a couple of people outside/inside. Plenty of seat+tables in the back since they share the space with ODC The service was quick, informative, & pleasant. The food was quiet flavorful and quiet delicious. Presentation was on point Coffee was good, I had a drip and my fiend had a cappuccino and he quiet liked it. It was an overall wonderful experience. I would come back in I find myself in the neighborhood again. Would recommend. read more

What I got: Green Matcha Latte w/half&half and honey Avocado toast as listed on menu I had a great time, this meal was delicious! For $15 it's a high price but the quality and presentation were phenomenal. I thoroughly enjoyed sipping the foamy goodness of the latte while I did business on my phone. Mmm that was the best latte I've had all year!! I loved this meal! The toast was crunchy around the edge, soft in the center, well buttered too. The 'cado was tasty, no wrongdoings to be found. Likewise with the hardboiled eggs. The salt topping was so good! Service was fast too! I sat down at 10:32am and had my meal served by 10:40am. Big props these people are working hard!! If it's like this a second and third time, five stars for you!! read more

There's a perfect mixture of sun and shade in this sit-in-if-you-want coffee shop with a chill ambience that is hard to come by in SF. Sinful choc chip cookies made with real butter, cold brew better than what I make at home, and great service. Will stop by again for their lunch offerings. Only caveat is that they are closer to the heart of Mission and 16th rather than Dolores Park as stated. But that's a plus if looking for a neighborhood option! read more

The roasted mushroom sandwich. Those are shimeji mushrooms (im guessing), stringy mushrooms. Hosin sauce was a bit much. Will try to ask for no hosin sauce. Avocado was really good as well as their bread that was crunchy and held everything together. The side salad was good (always good to have greens). Next time try their hot chocolate made themselves. Nice place to hang out using the ODC lobby. Sunny outside too. read more

Great place for lunch with tasty sandwiches. My work ordered Robin's Cafe for lunch and it was a solid spot for a filling meal. I ordered the roasted chipotle steak sandwich, which also came with a side salad tossed in a simple vinaigrette. It was a pretty large portion of food for the price, which I believe was $15. The steak sandwich had plenty of sauce in it, and it gave just the right amount of kick. The bread was very soft and toasted just right, and the steak itself was amazing. It fell apart as soon as I bit into it and the proportions of all the fillings in the sandwich were great. I also ordered a cinnamon morning bun, but wasn't given that unfortunately. They ended up giving a chocolate chip cookie, which was good, but not what I wanted. Overall, Robin's Cafe is pretty tasty with large and filling meals. Sad that I wasn't able to try the cinnamon morning bun, but hopefully next time I'm able to. read more

I love this little gem next to ODC. In between dance classes I usually sit next to the window sipping the matcha latte made with oak milk and having a piece of zucchini bread, while people watching... it has become a thing as I really love the food and drink made by people who care. Part of reasons I am always there are the staff. They know what I want and they always put on big smiles when I step in. Isn't that like homecoming?! read more

Sometimes I stroll on Shotwell just because it feels like the most genteel street in the Mission with all those Victorians and low-key businesses like the Timbuk2 outlet and of course, Shotwell's Bar. Robin's just caught my eye because I didn't expect a cafe on this street. I was wondering if there was a weight ceiling for customers because I saw several skinny people walk in, but then it dawned on me it was part of the OCD Theater. Dancers, y'know. Oh good, there are people with normal appetites in here, too. I've come here a couple of times, and I just don't get the warm fuzzies. Funny thing is that my visits were months apart, but I had similar experiences. Both times, I ordered the $3.85 Cafe au Lait (photo: http://bit.ly/2J2fCCh) and the $5.50 Fruit Bowl, a mix of blueberries, strawberries, and banana slices. Both times they yelled my coffee order out loud for me to pick up, and both times they made me pick up my fruit bowl at the same time. I juggled holding both items on my way back to a table. So what was the point of giving me a number? The coffee was decent enough, but they got overly creative in serving their fruit. The first time was in a convenient bowl (photo: http://bit.ly/2JmEweU), and now they awkwardly place it in a skinny jar where the blueberries fly out if you don't maneuver the spoon carefully enough (photo: http://bit.ly/2JkE0hH). The laptoppers pretty much take over all the remaining real estate in here. So much for comfy-cozy. COFFEE/FRUIT - 3 stars...middling coffee, fruit in an unfriendly container AMBIANCE - 2.5 stars...clean though sterile and crowded SERVICE - 2 stars...come and get it TOTAL - 3 stars...I wonder if Batman has a cafe RELATED - Milling about in the Mission?

I really like this place. I tend to hang here while my daughter goes to dance class at odc on Saturday mornings... it's clean, sunny, the staff is really nice, the food is well- priced, substantial, beautiful and delicious. I had the almond butter toast this morning. It was quite large with a thick slice of bread and thinly sliced strawberries and banana drizzled with honey. It was so good! read more

Stopped in for an iced oat milk latte. The space itself is nice and clean. The latte had too much ice for my liking considering it came out to be about $7 but that's common SF pricing. The overloading of ice also caused a meds when I tried to put a lid on and poke a straw through. If they weren't so nice I would've considered a lower rating! read more

Robins Cafe is Rock n Roll Just got here Line out the door Busy Saturday Got my Mocha and it screams of a taste I've never had before. The flavor is amazing 12 oz. I haven't received my good yet, but I highly suspect I'm going to be blown away by how awesomely delicious it will taste. I'm here on a visit to see musicians come together and network. It could quite possibly develop into something more by which the purpose is to develop business partners, alliances and associates. It's interesting the interest there is when people gather. Can't wait to get my food My expectations are high I'll get back to you Have a great one - - - Just got home And my food has blown me away. The taste is far beyond the freshest ingredients I've ever tasted. I only need a couple of bites and I'm satisfied. I'm impressed with the bursting of flavor. I'm lavishing in the robustness of flavor. It's absolutely wonderful! To be continued.... Astonishingly Flavorful A+ (to the infinity) read more

These days I try to stop by Robin's at least once a week to pick up my favorite salad in San Francisco. The chicken salad! Packed with yummy diced chicken, apples, red onion, cranberries, walnuts, and more on a bed of baby spinach and mixed greens with a tangy citrus dressing, this salad always makes my day. It's so satisfying and delicious. Everyone at Robin's is so nice and friendly, which makes it one of my favorite cafes in the cIty. In addition to a full set of coffee and tea offerings, fresh pastries and juices, they have a great menu of freshly made sandwiches and other salads loaded with flavor like the Cobb which is my second favorite. I've also had their chipotle steak sandwich (as a salad) and their avocado toast -- both are fantastic! I feel so lucky to have Robin's in our neighborhood - stop by and you won't be disappointed! read more

Robin's Cafe - Chicken Salad - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

Terrific sandwiches, with an okay mixed green salad and good homemade dressing. The Cubano is perfect. The pulled pork is a little sweet but good anyway. I've never had a bad meal here. Some things are a little pricey, but the ingredients are always fresh. The coffee is fine. (Mine is better.) If you're doing indoor dining it's a comfortable spot with room to meet in a big group in the back. They have a few small tables outside. This is a good block of Shotwell. The staff and owners are pleasant. If you're getting food to go, call ahead, because a hot sandwich will take about 10 minutes or so. Clean bathrooms, good light, good wifi. This is a safe place to use the bathroom. Enter and pass through the dining area and they're in the back, large restrooms that are used by ODC theater at night. read more

This cafe has had a number of changes over the years, and where it is settling with its menu under its current owners and staff is INCREDIBLE and DELICIOUS! As small businesses and restaurants are cutting some corners to make ends meet during these uncertain COVID times (and I understand the need to do what's necessary for businesses to survive), Robin's Cafe has upped their game significantly. The menu was great before the pandemic (I was always a personal fan of their avocado toast, coffee, chia bowls, BLTs and fresh juice). Since reopening, their menu has expanded to amazing pulled pork sandwiches, steak sandwiches, delicious bread pudding and expanded breakfast slider meals. I've had just about everything, and everything is delicious. I also highly recommend the "Good Squeeze" juice they press in house - they have a wide selection of unique flavor combos. On top of the great menu, the owners and staff are really nice. Good food! Good people! It doesn't get better than that. Support local small businesses and check 'em out! read more

Best avocado toast in SF. Delicious. Little pricey but it's what you'd expect for SF.

Robin's Cafe, a neighborhood coffee shop and restaurant focused on breakfast and light fare lunch type food is a gem in the Mission.. I drive from the peninsula for this place.. Enrique and his staff are literally the most friendly and happy people I deal with in the city.. Food is top notch, at a very fair price... mostly home made stuff, and the coffee is as good as you can ask for.. Atmosphere is very cosy, safe and enjoyable .. read more

Cute sunny cafe inside and outside (well when SF weather permits) Like Free water jug has cucumbers in it adding a nice touch and giving a spa feeling. Vegan chocolate chip pretzel cookie- this is the best tasting vegan cookie I've ever had. I'm not usually a fan of vegan baked goods but this cookie didn't taste as flat and cardboard-like that many other vegan baked items can. It's perfect if you like salty and sweet together. Table ledges looking out to the street to people watch. Don't like Food too salty for my tastebuds- I've gotten a few things and they all tend to be a bit more on the salty side. Perfect for someone who likes it salty but it was too much for me. They put big salt flakes on the Avocado toast so I always make sure to get that off. The tomato soup was tasty but too salty, I would get it watered down next time. This cafe is a great addition to the mission. read more

Best avocado toast in town! When I first saw it, I didn't think it was going to taste that incredible. But really the bread is spectacular (I think it's batard?) and every bite is delicious. Stopping by twice to try that toast, I decided to venture back to eat a couple meals at their nice sidewalk dining and I loved it even more. The service is very friendly and welcoming: they'll chat with you if you engage them. And my sense is they take real pride in their work, which is always great. I've tried their juices, sandwiches, and a salad: all were great! Try this spot out for yourself for a casual weekend lunch with a friend (or by yourself, if you're also that type!). read more

Came serendipitously to this cafe because we found a parking spot nearby, had limited time but also very hungry. Ordered the breakfast BLT sliders, and omg it was delicious. Comes with a generous portion of side salad as well that was fresh and great balance. My husband was saying that he always feel cheated by sliders but these elevated the eating experience with their soft buttery slider buns and fluffy eggs. Their coffee is from linea, did not disappoint. Service was super quick, had plenty of time to eat because the food came out so fast. Also everyone is very nice inside! We had a great experience here. read more

Great place. I would often come for their hazelnut latte or mocha. Their grilled cheese sandwich and BLT are also pretty great.

I had the misfortune of being "that" customer yesterday not realizing that the cafe has closed 1 min prior to me walking in. Thankfully a friendly employee still took my order: a iced matcha latte and a slice of the lavender banana bread. How grateful was I that: (1) they still accommodated me which wasn't necessary but greatly appreciated (2) I had the perfect slightly sweet, slightly earthy matcha latte to top off my walk home and (3) I was able to experience the beautiful lavender banana bread which was both moist, sweet and floral Thanks again team at Robin's Cafe, I'll be sure to look more closely at your cafe's hours before stepping in again but I'll sure be coming back and I highly suggest everyone to do the same! read more

Favorite place to eat in the area! Do you want to be served by a super nice staff and awesome owners? How about delicious sandwiches? Well you've come to the right place. You might be tempted to come in just for coffee, but you'd be missing out, because the real gems are in all of the pastries and food. All of the items are made fresh daily (brisket slow cooked nightly for the next day--I've seen it!). I would highly recommend the bread pudding, chocolate chip cookies, brisket sandwich, pork belly sandwich, or cuban sandwich. If you're looking for a healthy drink, they have fresh pressed juices in their bottled drink section. Honestly, I could eat the sandwiches every day. They come with great bread and some additional touches that just take it to the next level. You know a sandwich place is legit when they have the skewers in it to make sure it doesn't fall apart while eating. I don't know what kind of pickles they use, but they are just *chef's kiss* amazing. All the sandwiches come with a salad too! Don't be afraid to strike up some conversation, especially with the owners. They are the gems of the neighborhood and I am very sad to be moving away from the area soon. read more

Convenient place in an area that you have to walk a lot to get to food, tried the vegetarian sandwich, which was pretty decent. It was still fulfilling and better then too much meat on a sandwich with all that bread( sometimes) I really liked the espresso that they give you. Had lots of energy and went back for a second lol to be fair it was a long work day. See you soon ! read more
