    I've been wanting to check out Stable Cafe for a while now but unfortunately chose a cold, windy Saturday to stop by with a couple of friends. We ordered coffee and breakfast food to try and I got a cappuccino along with the coconut chia pudding. Loved the strong cappuccino and the chia pudding was a great choice for a lighter breakfast. The housemade jam is great and gives the creamy coconut chia a nice tartness. There is a cute greenhouse patio seating area with a fireplace but unfortunately even with the fire and a more covered area, it was a bit cold to sit outside and we had to duck to another coffee shop after an hour. The patio is really such a nice place to enjoy good weather though and I'll have to be back to really take it in.

    Latte and breakfast sandwich

    Huge outdoor seating area, great when it's warm! In addition, there is also greenhouse patio seating area with fireplace that is occasionally open. Saturday morning is pretty busy. Order at counter, seat yourself, and food will come when ready. The latte ($6) was very very hot, somewhat hard to carry to table since it was in a glass cup. The coffee had strong flavor. Smooth texture with enough foam. The breakfast sandwich ($14) was a great option: fluffy eggs, ham, and cheese on a toasted sesame. It was super cheesy, if you check out my photo. Overall, a good space to hangout with friends, but it does get cold if you're seating outside during cold weather.

    Came here few weeks ago with two friends. Parking was a little bit hard in the area on a weekday but luckily I was able to manage to find one. Love the vibe of this place. You have the outdoor patio for you to enjoy your yummy food & coffee. I had the matcha latte & Turkey Avocado sandwich. Matcha latte was delicious. The turkey sandwich also was pretty good. Nothing special but good. Overall we had a good experience and would love to come back to try something else!

    3.5 round up to 4. Trying to find a cafe to do somework and seeing how cute and aesethic place this is, my friends and I decide to come here. DISCLAIMER- NO WIFI. ( we used our hotspot) Street parking is easy which is so nice in SF. The interior and outdoor area is SO NICEEEE. Plenty of seating. This is also a nice spot to catch up with ppl too. For the food/drinks, we got the breakfast burrito and the chive cheese scone which are both delicious. The matcha latte is not good, the vanilla latte is alright. I would just come back for the food and vibes tbh.

    The food and coffee were both delicious. My friends and I sat on the back patio and it was cute and shady. I would reccomend getting there early for the weekends because the line got long!

    Stopped by Stable Cafe - really nice outdoor space with lots of plants, super relaxing vibe. Got the breakfast burrito and chilaquiles, both were pretty decent. Perfect spot for a chill coffee and morning meal.

    Cappucino
    David J.

    I was waiting for an appointment nearby and decided to grab the nearest coffee - saw this place. Inside is beautiful! Large big door. Plants. Upstairs lounge area, and a wonderful outside area. Lots of room for a coffee shop. I was tempted to get something off the food menu, looked amazing, but just got a cappuccino to go. Lots of options beverage and food wise (seriously need to try their food next time I go, some of their stuff looks very creative). . Cappuccino was delicious and gorgeous. Great interior and exterior. Plenty of seating. Good service. Great place to lounge about and have a morning sip or a cafe breakfast I'd say. I'll be back in the area in a couple weeks of this review, so glad to know it's around.

    I met some friends for coffee and a little bite for lunch. Located in the mission, stable café offers a variety of coffee, breakfast items, and sandwiches. I was blown away by how much outdoor space they have, we even got a spot near a fireplace outside. There is inside seating, a couple tables in a "terrace", and a bench on the main level. Everyone was very friendly and the food came out pretty promptly. I got a latte, I like the quality of coffee they used. It was very hot and delicious. I wish I got a pastry, but I guess that's for next time! I got the Korean chicken sandwich, which comes with spicy chicken, pickled raddish, cabbage slaw, and mayo. I appreciate the little side pickle slices as well. The chicken was perfectly seasoned perfectly cooked, I really enjoyed the sandwich. I wish I got two since I just went to the gym before lunch. Stable a little pricey, but that's just San Francisco. I really enjoyed my time here, because of the space a lot of people are able to join in and stay a little while. It's a good spot for a yap!

    Iced Matcha Latte

    While visiting from out of town, I took a spontaneous drive down Folsom Street and spotted a café that immediately stood out--clean exterior, welcoming vibe, and something about it just felt right. I've been slowly curating my list of go-to cafés in San Francisco, and this one instantly earned a place on it. Parking was, honestly, a bit of a challenge. Parallel spots were limited, and I had to circle the block a few times. But once I made it inside, I was greeted by a short line and a calm, well-organized interior. While waiting, I noticed a side door open and stepped outside--only to find a charming patio filled with greenery. There were plants everywhere: hanging, potted, tucked into corners--giving the whole space a fresh, peaceful energy. It felt like a hidden urban garden. I ordered an iced matcha latte and a breakfast burrito. The matcha was whisked just right--smooth, balanced, and not overly sweet. It's clear they know what they're doing. The burrito was well-sized, lightly seasoned, and came with a flavorful dipping sauce on the side. What impressed me most was how intentional everything felt: the clean restroom (yes, I always check), strong Wi-Fi, friendly staff, and pricing that's reasonable for the quality. The thoughtful design of the café, including its transformation from a historic horse stable, gives it a unique character. And that patio--with its mix of shade, sun, and all those plants--is the kind of space you want to linger in. Bonus: the outdoor seating is tucked away from the sidewalk, so it feels more private and peaceful. Efficient, consistent, and clearly run with care--this café checks all the boxes. It's officially made it into my SF brunch rotation, and I'd recommend it to anyone who values good coffee, good food, and an atmosphere that invites you to stay awhile.

    I came here on a Sunday afternoon because Tartine was too crowded. We ended up ordering a fried egg sandwich with bacon and avocado and a rice bowl. We also ordered the bacon and cheddar biscuit to snack on before the food came because we were starving. For drinks, we got the iced latte with oat milk and iced coffee. Everything tasted really good! Even better than what I was expecting. Flavors were on point. I enjoyed sitting at the outdoor patio because it felt relaxing with the plants and fresh air. The reason why I took a star off is because the portions are small. I'm still feeling munchy after eating.

    This review is for Stable as a wedding venue, their in-house catering, and their event coordinator Karen Ortiz. We held our wedding at Stable Cafe in August 2025 and so highly recommend this space. After seeing the location online and eating in the cafe, we knew this was where we wanted to hold our wedding. It felt so cozy, lush and green, like an oasis in the middle of the city. Karen was very responsive to our inquiries and answered all the questions we had throughout the process. Wedding planning can be overwhelming and my husband and I are not seasoned event planners, and Karen made the process easy and as low-key as possible. We had 45 guests and had a ceremony, dinner, and dancing, which was a perfect size for the space. We used their bar service and in-house catering for appetizers and dinner and OH. MY. GOSH. This was not just good wedding food. It was incredible food, period! Everything was fresh and made with so much care. They even made a plate specifically for a vegetarian guest, and made one up for me that accommodated all my dietary restrictions. I can't tell you how wonderful it felt to be able to eat the same thing as all the guests and enjoy such a beautiful dinner. The entire time we were eating, my husband and I kept looking at each other in disbelief and saying, Can you believe the food is THIS good?? The ambiance, food, and staff are all wonderful at Stable, and I feel so grateful we could celebrate such a joyful occasion there.

    I've moved on from my Breakfast Sandwich obsession, now it's Avocado Toast. So far I've tried 10 places, and Stable remains #1. The only cafe to understand that when you call something a toast, for gods sake, TOAST IT! Absolute perfection people. Also 5 stars for the outdoor patio, truly an oasis in an otherwise forlorn part of the Mission.

    For ambiance alone, this is one of my favorite cafes in the mission. I went on a particularly rainy day, and the sheer amount of plants made me feel like I was in a rainforest and not in the heart of a city. I ordered a chai tea latte and it was the perfect compliment to the gloomy Sunday weather. I appreciated the size of the drink, but I could've personally used more spice (it is a chai after all)!

    Excellent service! My only advice is to come and see for yourself. When we called to ask about a…read morewait, they mentioned there was not wait... part of the reason they do that is because they don't keep a list. You either have reservations or you're a walk in and you stand in line until a table is available for you. At first this was strange, but I think it makes for a better experience. The team was incredible, they were so kind on a day that can be stressful for a small restaurant. We had incredible food. I was so happy to get my Eggs Royale and my husband said the French toast was the best he's ever had. (Even comparing it to French toast in Paris) No notes. This will be our Mother's Day place going forward next time with reservations.

    My partner and I decided to go to the city one weekend and decided we wanted brunch. After looking…read morethrough some place, we came across Sisterita and it looked very promising. It seems like this place is an asian fusion brunch place incorporating french dishes into thai/asian themed dishes which is up our alley. We made a reservation at 1:45 PM and we had to wait for about an extra 30 minutes before getting seated. Initially, I wanted to try their crab fried rice but unfortunately they were out of crab. We decided to get the Alcatraz Escape and the Brioche french toast which were recommended by the wait staff. The staff was generally friendly and accommodating but I can tell they were swamped and stressed out with all the people they were trying to serve. The food itself tasted decent, the Alcatraz Escape had a tasty flavor which incorporates tom yum paste (sweet, sour, tangy flavor) into their scramble with about 4 shrimps. The side of crispy chicken was good but nothing that stood out to us. The brioche was soft but there wasn't much flavoring besides the fruits and caramelized banana. It was served with evaporated milk which made the brioche soft but not adding much flavor to it. The price however was quite pricey. For two dishes as a side we paid around $78 with tax and tip.

    I still love Brenda's!!!!!!!…read more I haven't been back in a few years, but I am happy to report: they are still just as great! It was my daughter's first time and she loved it just as much as I did. We came during restaurant week so we decided to get the Creole Sampler so she could try a bunch of different items. (Sampler included red beans and rice, collard greens, fried catfish, hush puppies, plain beignet and gumbo). We also ordered the beignet flight and shrimp and grits. Plenty of food for the 2 of us, plus we had left overs. I can't not order the shrimp and grits. It's just so damn good! It's so rich and flavorful! It came out SUPER hot. Grits and cheese still bubbling. My daughter and I were both surprised she liked the collard greens. She's usually not a fan. She also liked the red beans and rice and she doesn't usually like beans either. That just goes to show how amazing the food is here! We came in around 4something pm on a rainy Sunday. There weren't many people there, but by the time we left it was more than half full. Service was friendly, and there was a band playing, which was a nice touch.

Let me start with the star of the show - the Shrimp & Grits. The flavors blended so well I did a little dance in my seat. Creamy, savory and delicious! I will be dreaming about the Shrimp and Grits from now on. The Bananas Foster French Toast melted in my mouth. So yummy. I wasn't a fan of the Crawfish Beignets. It was something about the flavor of the red powder/ seasoning that left me underwhelmed. All in all, one of my favorite stops while I was in town.
