Great breakfast/brunch spot…read more Visited on a Saturday around 9:45/10am and it wasn't too busy. Service was quick. We ordered the chicken fried steak and chicken and waffles. The gravy on the chicken fried steak was different but not bad. Cute and casual spot. I recommend if you're in the area and looking for something quick and casual.

I walked in with a party of 5, and I already knew upon entering that this place would not be great…read more There was nobody to greet us when we walked in, which is usually fine, but it took nearly 5 minutes and a lot of us awkwardly standing around until a customer told us that the waiter will be with us in a second. A customer. We sit down, and are ignored for minutes until we have to ask for the menus. We are then ignored for nearly 20 minutes until we have to ask to place our order. We also had to ask for water a total of five times. My two friends ordered coffee, which basically inedible and tasted like burnt rubber. When they asked for another cup and asked why it tasted so bad, we learned from the waiter that the coffee had been brewed LAST NIGHT. WHAT?? We walked in at 12:30 pm and were served coffee from LAST NIGHT. After getting fresh cup, the coffee was better, but it wasn't even taken off the bill. The food took forever to get out, and we were starving by that point. Luckily the food was pretty good, but we again had to continue asking for basic necessities. We witnessed the waiter wipe his nose with his hand and wipe it on his jeans, and he later came by and placed our utensils down with bare hands. While I'm unsure if he washed his hands, the thought was still disgusting. We spent nearly an hour waiting for our food, and I ended up having to chow down without having time to savor it because we had plans after. It was also basic diner food, and my pancakes were unimaginative. After all that wait and the old coffees, they didn't even comp the coffees!! I do not recommend this place to anyone.

My son's been logging onto his linguistics & language class from this cafe while grabbing a muffin…read more Last week, he ordered sandwiches to go and I have to say, one of the best deli sandwiches I've enjoyed in a long time, super tasty! My son had the meatball sandwich with provolone, absolutely solid and I had the chicken pesto with melty provolone on toasted Dutch crunch bread (each $15.25). The chicken was so juicy and flavorful, I highly recommend. It tasted like they poached the chicken in herbs, very nice. Their breakfast sandwiches look delicious; try one as they open early- 7:30 weekdays and 8am weekends. Apparently Alamo Square Cafe is primarily known for their great coffee. Grab a muffin or sandwich - and coffee for sure! Owners are really nice, very service-oriented. You'll like this cafe, a neighborhood mainstay for many years.

It definitely feels like a neighborhood favorite and a place where regulars gather. The cafe is clean, spacious, comfortable and welcoming. They offer a variety of sandwiches, bagels, pastries and coffee drinks. There is indoor seating available, along with a small amount of outdoor seating. I ordered a large oat milk Iced coffee, a large regular coffee, a lox bagel and a blueberry muffin. Everything tasted fresh and well made. The lox bagel was generously packed with salmon, cream cheese, tomatoes, onions and cucumber, while the blueberry muffin was moist and flavorful. The staff was attentive, kind, and genuinely welcoming from the moment I walked in. If you're looking for a cozy neighborhood café to grab breakfast, coffee or a quick lunch, this is definitely a spot worth checking out. I'll definitely be back :)

I usually get the breakfast burrito or bagel. The people who work there are very nice and accommodating. I always get my order with vegan cheese and they are willing to customize my order. I always like the way they make my burrito, but the vegan burrito I ordered yesterday wasn't really filled and super heavy on the tortilla. I had to use so much hot sauce for it to be flavorful. I would also skip on the chia pudding next time. The coffees here are okay but seemed to be super watered down yesterday. The small vanilla latte with oatmilk came to $8, which I thought was a lot. I do really like their outdoor seating area for a quick bite on a sunny day.

NO ONE LISTENS Several recent reviews echo my consistent…read moredisappointment with this local restaurant. Just wish the "owner" read these reviews. I do come here about once a month, but will start changing my order to other items they seem to "get right". Today I had the Haight Scram $16.95 avocado, bacon, green onion & cheddar. First off, 2 other folks who ordered after me got their order 1st. So I went to the counter and checked, my order got lost. I ordered Swiss Cheese and a slice of Cheddar was on top (even though the order clearly said Swiss). Hash browns were barely cooked, all too common and all other orders I saw came w/the usual 2 slices of toast, mine had 1. So up I go to get the other slice. I know this is probably a minimum wage job, but come on.

The man in the counter was really nice and gave us a few recommendations. Their menu is extensive and I felt overwhelmed. So we ordered the Dutch which is salmon Benedict and Cajun egg frittata with the Italian sausage. To me the Benedict was not what I thought it would taste. The salmon was very salty and the hollandaise sauce was okay. It was bland actually but it's okay for breakfast. The Cajun Frittata was good and the sausage was delicious. Overall the breakfast was fine, not amazing but it was a great experience to try some of their offerings.

Absolutely wonderful gem in the center of the city!…read more There's so much in this area from the main library, city hall + the park, Arsicault, Outta Sight, and more, and then you've got this small grocery store where the acai bowls are amazing value and the vibes are right. There's a wonderful selection in the store with a ton of variety of products to try in addition to basics. Their food menu is also extensive, and I definitely want to try more. But as most reviews say, you can't go wrong with the acai. The price in this day and age is truly incredible. And they use real fruit, no juice. I must also note that the staff is on point. Everyone is cool, chill, kind, and helpful. Feels like a neighborhood bodega kind of spot. Would absolutely recommend!
