Visited a few times. Each time trying a few different items. Sandwiches are very good and we also enjoyed the drinks. The space inside is pleasant with a mural portraying a colorful countryside relaxing vibe. I think this is the similar mural to the one located on Clement. Great place for eating lunch while reading a book, meeting friends, or have causal lunch/coffee. I especially like their egg salad sandwich and the BLT sandwich. My Husband likes the pastrami and the roast beef. What's great is that they have Sriracha on the side for you to add more spice if you like. Clean, nice and efficient service. Inside sitting only. Located on Geary and 17th Ave.

Everything breakfast bagel and black coffee
Michael R.

Not a long wait and they are always so nice. Classic everything breakfast bagel was really good. Nice little spot to get some work done there's plenty of space in there.

I had my coffee break here with a piece of carrot cake. Nice cafe they have some music playing in the background. Staff are great this is a good place for a coffee plus they have a full menu of meals. Note that cards can only be used for payment for $10 or more.

Thanks for workers for good tea and let me charge the phone. It was really nice after 6 hours walk in SF

Decent little spot for a quick bagel and coffee. Nothing fancy, but they had a lot of options and a lot of seating. Only downside is the bathroom was out of commission.

Yum baked goods

Im sorry about the break-ins. This cafe has been in this neighbor for a while. I've never gone in till now. I never knew it had everything. Smoothies, sandwiches, coffee (of course), salads, traditional baked goods like lemon and raspberry squares. Unbelievable how much they offer. I was torn between a sandwich or salad. I let their staff pick. Royal salad won. A big scoop of tuna with dotted capers, crunchy fresh romaine, crunchy bell peppers, a sliced hard boiled egg, the freshest sliced avocado, sliced grape tomatoes and homemade balsamic dressing. Perfect salad. So delicious. This is the California salad in one big to-go container with utensils and napkins. Take this on a picnic and to the ocean. Some customers just chill in there. I need to learn the zen of chill in a cafe.

Egg salad sandwich with rye bread and black coffee with almond milk.
Angela K.

They have great wifi- came here to take zoom classes. Their sandwiches are really yummy. I've tried a lot of their sandwiches and it never disappoints. My favorite one is the egg salad sandwich. Always super fresh ingredients and I love how they add a lot of fresh veggies. I feel like they also make the egg salad out of scratch- I see them peel eggs so the food is super fresh!! Highly recommend. (I got the egg salad sandwich with rye bread and black coffee with almond milk.

A cute coffee sandwich shop in the Richmond. Plenty of seating to do some work. Plenty of coffee/espresso options and teas. Nice spot to get a quick bite as they have a decent selection of sandwiches. Prices are reasonable and the service was fast. Staff were kind and welcoming. Would definitely come back

Bagel Lox (no tomatoes & capers)
Emily F.

Cute little coffee shop with great bagels! I dropped by in the morning and grabbed a latte and lox bagel before sitting down to do some homework. The lox bagel was awesome. It comes with cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and capers. Bagel was perfectly toasted and the veggies were fresh. Perfect way to start my day :) I got a white mocha and it was decent. I asked for it less sweet and it was perfect. There is Wi-Fi so definitely drop by to do some work and grab some yummy food and drink.

This is my favorite coffee place to go for a quick bite. The sandwiches aren't the best as compared to Lou's sandwich but for $7-$9 range, they're decent. I enjoy this spot because it doesn't get too busy and they are really friendly and efficient. Whenever I have a lot like my water and lunch in my hand, they notice and make it easy for me like put my food in a bag and tie it up. They also know me by now and are familiar with my usual order. When I went on vacation and came back, the guy said "hey haven't seen you in a while" so it feels nice to be remembered there.

Cafe by the beach? Sure…read more OCB is a popular local coastal beach cafe at Ocean Beach, San Francisco. They offer a wide variety of drinks, pastries and breakfast. Indoor and outdoor atmosphere was very North Cal, chill, relaxed and hip. I came mid-morning to grab a hot Jasmine Green Tea. And it was okay. Service was spot on. Staff were attentive and professional. Parking is atrocious but there is a public parking lot right by the beach. Prices are fair. Overall, it's a nice coffee shop a block fr the beach. I recommend you visit.

(NOTE: I can't actually rate the food becuase we didn't have any! We stopped in to ask about…read moreomelettes and the staff members recommended we head a few doors down to TJ Cafe, which we did, (see separate review). I just gave it 5 stars becuse everybody else has and I see no need to bring down the rating.) On the way back to our car from TJ Cafe, i noticed, through the window, that the wall of bottles was actually topped by a big sign saying non-alcholic! Having been a member of a non-drinking community since 1962, I was fascinated to see such display and dropped in to check it out We spent some 15 minutes with Josh, an ex-bar tender, explaining his philosophy on the social need for community life withoug depending on alcohol (See his Youtube channel: "Josh the non-Alcoholic" for more on this). Josh gave my wife a free cup of coffee since TJ Cafe down the road had no had free refills, and we entered a draw to win a bottle of non-Alcoholic French wine. Josh surprised us by telling us that the French wine industry is going big on non-alcoholic wines. I bought a can of Vanua Bliss - a Mango flavoured Kava drink - vastly different from the Kava served to me during my 3 years stay on Tanna, New Hebrides (1977 to 1980) which was made by youth chewing the kava in their mouths, spitting it out on to a coconut sheath, then pouring water into it and squeezing it into a half shell of a coconut and cerimoniously handing it to you under the shade of a huge Nambunga tree as the twilight deepened! Such are memories made of. While Kava is not alcoholic, it does have some muscle relaxant properties and give a weird buzz of the tongue. I wish him well in his endeavour to allow the teetotaler community to enjoy the social aspects of drinks with their meals, without worring about the alcohol destroying our brain cell and livers!

Great people. Great quality pastrami. Would come back in the area!…read more Service is nice. They can get a long line during lunch hours. Cute deli they also looks quality inside.

Ever eat a really bad rendition of something and you're like…read more... Oh hell naw...I NEED A REDO! Several weeks ago, I had a terrible hot pastrami sandwich at a wildly popular deli on the coast. With a hair appt two blocks away from A K Meats, a redo was in order. After 15+ years, I'm glad to finally knock this off my list. There's a reason that A K Meats, a small mom and pop shop has been around for over 25 years because it did NOT disappoint! For only $15.99, you get a generous portion of their Housemade NY-Style Pastrami....thinly shaved, tender, and moist with a rich, savory, meaty flavor that isn't overly salty. It's piled over melty swiss cheese and comes with a smear of mustard for a nice tang. I took it a step further and added pepperoncini (+$0.75) - I love that the pepperoncini is shaved so thin, giving you just enough acidic punch without that strong mouth-puckering hit. A roll is the way to go for structural integrity and if you plan to save the other half for dinner. If you're looking for a top-notch hot pastrami sandwich, IMHO, A K Meats is worth trekking across the city for. It beats waiting in line at a certain AI/tech-bro fav in SoMa. Don't get me wrong...their sandwiches are good but paying $30 out the door AND enduring 45 minutes to 1 hour of pre-seed, valuation, and burn rate chatter in line is brutal. Ya girl wants TEA, not TAM! O T H E R I N F O * A K Meats is a butcher shop and seafood counter. They also sell pantry items, snacks, and bottled drinks. * The wife & husband duo also own 25th/Clement Produce Market next door. * Takeout only but they have two tables and bench seating outside. * Their POS bypasses the tip option so bring cash! * No restroom onsite. * Street parking is doable on the weekdays.

She…read morerecommended me a breakfast burrito, with many meat choices available; i stuck with chorizo, and I was not disappointed! I would say this is the best breakfast burrito i've ever had that wasn't from home! The flavor is spot on, not too salty, not bland, and you can still taste all the ingredients. Not to mention it was huge and stuffed!!! Overall amazing experience, I can't wait to hike and eat there again :)

The ultimately utilitarian restarurant!…read more My wife, on a TCM practitioner's recommended diet, wanted an Omelete that Ocean Beach cafe couldn't provide and who sent us to TJ Cafe 3 doors down the street. The omelletes were actually OK - if they'd been served on a china plate, with a lettuce leaf and orange slice garnish or something, I would probably have given them 4 stars - but on a paper plate with a plastic fork? And no free refills on the coffee? No doubt, if quick in and out food is your need, this place will suffice, but for a nice beach front atmosphere in a comfortable space with good attentive service on a Sunday morning, look elsewhere. Their website says they are a "charming eatery nestled in San Francisco, known for its cozy ambiance and delicious comfort food". Bare walls, linoleum flooring, black vinal and chrome chairs and tables are not what I call charming or cozy - but the comfort food might be delicious, however my wife and I can only say that the omlettes were good enough!

Today, we decided to give it another try because we really wanted to try their sandwiches. Placed an order the same way and yay the place was open! Walked in to check if the order was ready. The guy looked lost and confused. I said I had a pick up order. He said he doesn't even have a ticket! I told him what was the order. He then tells me he don't even have any turkey and their espresso machine is broken. Decided to just cancel the order entirely once again. If you plan to come here, better just going in person.

To my surprise, I found many of my favorite dishes on it. As a European, I couldn't help but comment on how much I liked the menu and the overall feel of the place. The food selection, presentation, and attention to detail reminded me of the cafés I enjoy back in Europe. The young woman who served my cappuccino welcomed me with a warm smile and was genuinely friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I came in for a coffee and left excited to return. I'll definitely be back soon to explore the menu and try more of their dishes.
