    Avocado Toast & Bacon
    Lynn F.

    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. Support Local!

    Incredible local and family owned cafe. I love coming here, they always make me feel welcome. The staff and owners are great, and food is really high quality with great ingredients and unique sandwich ideas! Love the sliders =) Coffee is delicious. Vibe is awesome. Great place to work and hang out for a bit.

    Chic seating

    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.

    Roasted Chipotle Steak Sandwich
    Ravuth L.

    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.

    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.

    Matcha latte
    Victor C.

    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!!

    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.

    Roasted chipotle steak sandwich
    Bella L.

    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.

    Matcha latte in Robin's cafe is soooo good!
    Shell J.

    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?!

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

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

In researching places near where we were staying, we learned about the Italian deli and shop. We were looking forward to stopping by to check out the store and grab lunch. The store itself is very cute and charming, full of so many items - fresh meats and cheeses, imported olive oils, pastas, desserts, wine, and liquor to name a few. There is an area where you can get coffee drinks and there is a deli area for ordering sandwiches, pizzas, specialty dishes, and salads. The variety of options is plentiful. I ordered an iced coffee beverage, which was great. My significant other and I ordered a sandwich to go, which we were splitting for a light lunch back at the hotel. The person helping at the counter was not very friendly or helpful with questions. We asked for our sandwich to be made on the Dutch Crunch bread, as we were looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, when we got back to the hotel, it turned out that the sandwich was made on a regular ciabatta roll, which was not fresh. Additionally, the sandwich was mostly mixed greens. For the price, I expected more meat. With so many great food options in San Francisco, it is likely we won't stop by on future visits to the City.

Maybe they intentionally make them super hot to withstand long distance takeout deliveries... I dunno. Plus standing in a long line with a velvet rope baking in the sun, long wait, lack of parking, navigating skuzzy neighborhood to go there (literally saw a guy going #2 on the corner on my way out)... overall I wasn't that impressed with Deli Board compared to all the rave reviews I have heard over the years. SF lacks truly awesome sandwich places so I will give give this another shot and report back with updates, perhaps I hit it on an off day.

They're showing off their wares, flashing pristine teeth, and parading around in an endless convoy of BMWs, Mercedes, and Bentleys. It's a neighborhood where absolutely everything--from the cold-pressed juice to the real estate--has a heavy, unapologetic price tag associated with it. But we didn't come for the gloss. We came for soul. We came to find refuge in our ultimate comfort food at Lucca's Delicatessen. Walking through that door isn't just stepping into a shop; it's stepping into a Time Machine. My order never changes -- it's the Liverwurst on marble rye, dressed simply with a little tomato, mayo, and crisp lettuce. Yesterday, you might have been chasing whatever trendy sandwich they're slinging down at Lettuce, but today is about tradition. My wife goes for the Caprese sandwich with prosciutto--a beautiful, classic combination. For me, though, the magic happens on the very first bite. As soon as I crunch into that rye, the Marina melts away. I am a five-year-old boy again, sitting down with my mother at a long-lost lunch counter, just purely enjoying life. My wife knows this ritual; she sees the look on my face and she approves. That right there is the exact reason we come here. It's why we are willing to stand crammed together in that inhospitable, notoriously narrow line that hungry San Franciscans have been enduring since 1929. Dear God, think about that: it has been almost a century in existence. If you haven't tried it, maybe you should. Take a break from the shiny facade outside, step into the narrow line, and order something real. It will become a part of your DNA, just like it has permanently become a part of mine.
