Great sandwiches, coffee, and baked goods. My neighbor friend likes Cheese Plus and told me to come here for sandwiches as well. On top of that, one r/SanFrancisco Reddit thread on sandwiches recommended the Willie Brown Bird here (which I have yet to order, but will someday.) Loved the North Beach sandwich and Cole Valley, as well as seasonal fruit kouign amanns and spinach croissants. There's nice outdoor seating where you can people-watch or read.

Drink : Coffee They have food menu which I will come back for SERVICE: Friendly barista :) Choppin it up with him about the weather, coffee was quick ATMOSPHERE I'm totally an atmosphere and drawn to this primarily to be able to enjoy the outdoors, nice French cafe small round tables alongside the sidewalk (well this the sidewalk cafe's name) and the city public parklet seating on opposite, where they thoughtfully placed a water dish for passing doggies (nob/Russian hill has lots of dog owners)

Very Slow Service. Ignore customers. Purposefully avoids eye contact. Do not recommend.

DO NOT PAY FOR DELIVERY…read more We paid extra to have our order delivered to our hotel and used the restaurant's order-ahead option. We scheduled the delivery for 9:20 a.m., but by 8:40 a.m. the app showed it had already been delivered. The problem? There was no food at our hotel room. I tried contacting the delivery driver by text, but never received a response. It was incredibly frustrating, especially after leaving a generous tip. We later found out the driver had left the food at the hotel but never told the front desk which room it was for, even though they had all of the delivery information. As a result, our food just sat there until we eventually had to go down and get it ourselves. In the end, I paid for a delivery service that I never actually received. Instead of enjoying the convenience we paid for, we had to track down our own order. Based on this experience, I would not recommend paying for delivery. If you're ordering from this restaurant, save your money and pick it up yourself. I paid for a service, but I did not receive what I paid for. Then to make it worse the breakfast sandwich was just OK. Nothing to write home to mom about. To say the least we will not be ordering her again and would not recommend this restaurant.

Cozy, upscale cafe located in the vibrant Russian Hill neighborhood…read more I went on a Monday afternoon and there was a great crowd there. Lively customers and staff, good vibes! There was a lot of natural light in the coffee shop, definitely a visually-appealing, 'aesthetic' place. I got an iced red tea and it was delicious. The tea was botanical, smooth and fragrant. Amazing experience! Excited to come back and try the coffee and pastries, which looked super fresh.

First time here for coffee! It's quite a popular shop and you see many sitting inside or waiting in…read moreline. Luckily we didn't have to wait a long line. It seems like there's also an upstairs but did not get the chance to check it out. I got an iced latte with their almond macadamia milk, and they're also so nice to do complimentary cold brew! So we got an extra drink for free. Trying the iced latte, it was pretty disappointing lol. I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.

The wifi is pretty good, for those doing work there including being able to handle Zoom meeting. I've had their regular coffee and their Cortados, maybe one day I'll try one of their specialty drinks. I've had their wife range of food including their baked goods (Dubai Croissant, Almond Croissant and Cinnamon Danish) all of which were fresh and tasty. I've had tried their chicken and beef shawarmas, sharing them with friends, and those were better than I thought they'd be. This place has friendly staff, and the place has more character than the big coffee companies who shall remain nameless.

I really enjoyed my visit to Delah Coffee in San Francisco. The coffee was good, but what stood out…read moreto me most was the ambiance. It has a very serene and relaxing atmosphere with a beautiful Pakistani and Middle Eastern inspired feel that makes it a nice little escape from the busyness of the city. I also enjoyed their desserts. They have a nice variety of cakes and other sweets, so there are plenty of options to choose from. Just expect them to be quite sweet. The service was decent and fairly self service. You grab your own plate, enjoy your food, and then drop everything off near the trash area when you are finished. The location is also a big plus. It is right in the middle of some of San Francisco's busiest streets and neighborhoods, with many popular sites within walking distance. Overall, it is a nice spot to slow down, enjoy some coffee and dessert, and take a little break from the city.

MORE FRENCH LAMINATION!!! thank you napoleon, mbappe, and fries: the three best frenchies of all…read moretime. anyway b patisserie is hyped like crazy like any other SF bakery that went viral on instagram. however it seems like ol B is popular among professional dessert snobs too. well as an ordinary flour snorter (the most french thing i've baked was choux), i checked it out and...it was good! not sure about hype, but good nonetheless. the lines are not bad, they move fast. ample seating and okay service! over the course of 3 days i got the banana, apple, & plain croissants as well as pain-suisse AND pumpkin kouign amann AND plain kouign AND pumpkin bread AND the passionfruit bostock. yes i am a glutton. yes i wanted to try everything. they are all a bit too sweet for my taste but pretty buss. i love the crunchy flaky sugariness of the kouign amann - i can see why it's so popular. the cream cheese and pumpkin combo was super balanced. plain one is simple and simple is FIRE!! the apple and banana croissants have REAL fruit! wow! so great and not artificial! (i sound like an american health influencer...oh wait i am american). anyway they're a bit too sweet but the frangipane tastes good. the plain one is boring in a bad way. pain suisse is okay too. it's ironic that their best croissants are the day-old ones since they are twice baked with frangipane pumpkin bread was pretty good! again a bit too sweet but spice and pumpkin came in strong like pow pow. bostock was good too - my first time. again a twice baked pastry except it's brioche and the syrup is passionfruit. the fruit flavor was slight but i wish it was stronger. super interesting to eat though i also wish that the heat and freshness of the pastries didn't vary so wildly. some days they're cold as frozen peas and other days they're nice and crispy and warm and fluffy and fireplace-y and hot-mug-y. sorry i have a lot of wishes. unfortunately big B may not be able to satisfy them. i wish i can go back to try the black sesame one but i'm too broke and i have an astronomically low attention span so i can't wait in line
