Interior

Updating my review, I've been to this coffee shop on 3 separate occasions and ordered a different drink each time and unfortunately the coffee is just not good. It's quite bitter and I never want to finish the drinks, even though visually they're lovely. The interior and exterior are also lovely to sit but as a coffee lover I can't recommend!

Nice interior but nothing else really stood out to me. Standard $7-8 drink, service is friendly. If there is a line, it kinda messes with the overall arrangement/spacing of the shop and can be irritating for those seated nearby. If you do get space, its a nice spot to sit down for a chat but there are plenty of those in SF.

Coffee here is strong!! Bustling bright cafe with workspaces and lots of seats, but it was packed on a weekend. pastries are in the display cases, employee recommend their drinks and were friendly. Swag, beans, and kitchen appliances are available for purchase. Free coffee when you buy a bag of beans! Order: Latte with macadamia milk: solid drink with a tartness in the milk, creaminess did not balance with the coffee. There is self serve syruo Chocolate espresso cookie: crunchy, dark chocolate flavor that was not too bitter. great for a small pick me up.

Had such a good experience here! A beautiful open space with plenty of seating, perfect spot for working (tho they only have wifi during the weekdays). Their coffee was strong and delicious, staff very friendly. Will definitely be a regular here. They source their pastries from Juniper bakery! Known for their award winning croissants and black sesame kouign amann. Only downside is I wish they heated up their pastries :/ Tried: - Orange latte is my favorite, subtle orange flavor - Cappuccino is STRONG - Oat milk latte is still strong but more balanced - Mushroom danish was good and v flaky, but wouldn't get again because it was cold

I've been in twice now, both times during the week to get some work done and thankfully I've always managed to get a seat + table! (This place will get busy, a lot of people visiting). Pretty simple menu but very fancy coffee. I'm pretty simple when it comes to my coffee order so I was a bit overwhelmed on what to get here. First time around I got an iced coffee and it was fine. Second time I got one of their signature or seasonal coffees, no cream or sugar and while strong, it was really smooth. Definitely good coffee beans used here. I've gotten their chocolate croissant and while perfectly flaky, the chocolate was just too dry and rough for me. Overall I do like this cafe to work out of (free wifi ONLY during the week). Good coffee options too so I definitely will be back to try more.

Visiting my sister in SF is always a treat! Especially when I get to try so many great cafes! Saint Frank is good coffee! I had a seasonal drink and it was so good not too sweet and the coffee was real smooth. I waited in a bit of a line but it was no problem for me because the staff was so attentive and kind and all were so calm, so it made me feel calm. No rushing just good coffee. Plenty of seating but oh boy still no room on a weekend. We did end up finding a table to enjoy our drinks !

Super cute coffee shop with great vibes!! The coffee was actually super good but the minus here is that they don't write down your coffee orders! They got my order completely wrong and I had to bring it up once it was all made which was very awkward. They offered to remake it for me but there was a long line and they made it a bigger deal... but even with that would give it another shot. Also keep in mind they have limited milk options, whole fat, almond/cashew (made in house) and oat The pastries are just ok!

We may be 7x7 but we do not lack coffee houses. So I usually go to Saint Frank's Polk location, but now that they are in Inner Sunset, it's so convenient when visiting other places around here. SFC replaced what used to be Starbucks in this location. Gorgeous remodel that felt very spacious. I didn't find out until recently that their pastries are from their sister business, Juniper (also on Polk). Super excited as their pastries are very good. Enough to rival Tartine around the corner. Great drinks, delicious pastries, and beautiful location on Irving and 9th Ave.

Honey lavender latte and iced matcha latte

How lovely, light, and airy this place looks in what used to be the dark tones of a Starbucks location for many, many years. I've been wanting to try Saint Frank Coffee for the longest time, but hadn't around to it at the other locations. Inner Sunset is close to home. A few weeks back, I walked by it on a late Saturday morning, and the line was out the door and it looked very crowded. I was not surprised, however, given the high praises of Saint Frank Coffee and this being their newest location. This past Monday, I came in on a whim at the end of the day sometime after 5pm (they close at 6pm daily). I was getting my steps in by strolling through Golden Gate Park and took the route that leads you to 9th Ave. There were plenty of people in there, but not crowded and not busy. I had no idea what I was ordering and I didn't know what to expect. The barista was super friendly, patient, and helpful. Here's what I ended up ordering: - honey lavender latte with oat milk (holy goodness!) - iced matcha latte for my daughter (the taste was more milky and creamy than matcha-y) - mushroom danish (I never wanted it to end, it was so yummy. It had the consistency of a savory croissant) I'm certain I'll be back, but for the coffee and danish - not the matcha- especially since it's so close to home.

Love the coffee here. I've tried a few of their pour overs, the coffee flight (single origin coffees served four ways), and the competition cappuccino - all were excellent. The black sesame kouign amann is great too. Service was friendly and efficient. There are plenty of seats inside, though it can get crowded on weekends. It's best to come early in the morning to skip the line.

I passed by this place while riding the N Muni, and I immediately bookmarked it! I'm so glad I did. Saint Frank is a gorgeous, aesthetically-pleasing coffee shop located in the Inner Sunset. My friends and I grabbed pastries nearby and coffee at Saint Frank before heading to the De Young museum for the Monet exhibit. It was a perfect day! The coffee at Saint Frank is delicious. You can tell this is a coffee shop made for coffee lovers. There were lots of people hanging out at the indoor and outdoor tables, including several people working from the coffee shop. The service was quick and friendly, as well. I highly recommend grabbing a coffee here and enjoying it in the park!

Saint Frank Coffee has taken over the previous Starbucks spot at this Irving location and I think it's a definite upgrade. The coffee is really good; the interior design is modern; the lighting is brighter; staff is friendly. Really good spot to hang out. The lines can get long but move fairly quickly. Prices are consistent with other coffee shops. We tried both the Latte and the Mocha. Both drinks have excellent coffee. The mocha is not very sweet and they use mocha syrup instead of that power stuff. They also offer a few pour over options which I haven't yet tried.

Thank GOD there's a Saint Frank on the park side of town now! Saint Frank is one of the first coffee shops I ever tried in San Francisco and it certainly helped set the bar extremely high. So coffee - no question on the quality here. And Juniper pastries? YAY The space is absolutely gorgeous - on a sunny day it's especially airy and bright. I haven't come on a weekend yet, but on weekdays the vibe definitely feels more like a coworking space (fortunately or unfortunately, depending on what you're looking for), due to the presence of the long communal table in the front. The location is also perfect as it's right in the busy part of the Inner Sunset near lots of cute shops and restaurants.

The iced Thai tea was well-balanced and not overwhelmingly sweet. The chicken waffle was also good--especially the chicken itself. It was lightly battered and crisp to perfection. I do wish the waffle was more toasted since it was a bit soggy even with barely any syrup. The fruits were fresh and tasted really yummy. As for the PaNang omelette, it was delicious!! It's filled with meat and vegetables, so it's pretty hearty. The curry was so good and had just the right amount of spice. I would highly recommend the PaNang omelette. Parking was difficult since it's in the Tenderloin, but it was definitely worth it. The workers are nice, and the place is really cute.

I came in at 9am on a Friday with a friend and got seated right away. The place was still packed,…read moreso it took a little while to order. There is a good amount of seating, but the tables are quite close to each other (your neighbors will be eavesdropping). We ordered the smoked salmon toast and a florentine benedict. The salmon was fresh and the toast was stacked! My friend wasn't too impressed with the benedict, but it was good. The side salad that it comes with is actually delicious! And if you have a sweet tooth, order an ube latte or thai tea, and finish with a Sweet Dream. It comes with waffles and a side of fruits, ice cream, fudge, and whipped cream.

I loved the decor all around the restaurant with adorable cow art and a very clean feel. The servers and hosts were coming over to chat with us and just made us feel so welcome and special. From the second you walk in until the second you leave you are in good hands. It's also right across from the train so it's super easy to get there! I don't normally like horseradish, but the burger came with the perfect amount of horseradish where it tasted very fresh and added a good burst of flavor without being overwhelming! The fries were delicious and crispy. 10 out of 10 food, service, and environment. I would give them more stars if I could.

If you happen to stumble upon Marlowe like we did I'm confident that you will leave as full and…read moresatisfied as we did. A charming little bistro inspired by the Marlowe cows, I'm assuming, managed to stun us with several memorable dishes. The warm deviled eggs were an excellent start. Savory yet delicate enough to not weigh us down right at the beginning of our meal. The horseradish aioli wasn't for me, but I can see its appeal for a certain audience. You give me a Calabrian chili sauce and it's guaranteed to make me happy and this shrimp with sweet corn was no exception. Again, light but a punchy flavor that was enjoyable. I could go on and on about the different dishes we tried but the real standout of the night was the pork tenderloin with chorizo and peaches. The sweetness from the peaches somehow managed to enhance the flavor of the chorizo. This dish gives you a bold, savory and sweet bite all together but still won't have you feeling super heavy. The portion size is perfect. Im hoping to return soon for another exquisite meal.

You can taste the salt and I like that! Add the $2 jam. It's a tablespoon portion, but worth it we had the peach. The Plow- husband was very happy with this. 9/10 Mochi cake- 8/10 BLT- 6/10 - needs way more bacon and lots More mayo. They have indoor and outdoor seating and reserve outdoor for those with dogs.

Came on a Tuesday morning & the wait wasn't too bad for a party of 2. It was my bf bday and we ordered mimosas, we got ID and the waiter noticed it was his bday and said happy bday. We didn't expect a candle to come with his breakfast plate and it did & was so thoughtful & cute. I ordered the plow which has: two eggs, two lemon ricotta pancakes + plow potatoes with choice of house made pork sausage patties, bacon, or chicken apple sausage link. I went with the bacon and it did not disappoint The lemon ricotta pancakes were the star of the show so soft & yummy. My bf ordered the steak & eggs which has: hanger steak, chermoula, two eggs, simple green salad & buttered toast. We both grubbed & can't wait to be back to try the rest of the menu.
