Very adorable and affordable!! Right on campus and they're quick to fill orders because it gets busy around lunch time! The drinks are really good!! Pro tip use a credit card and makes it go faster OR order ahead read more

This hut runs everyday outside of SFSU. I had the ham croissant and egg muffin with sausage. Not expensive and quickly made. Good snack waiting for my Uber. read more

Station Cafe is pretty okay! Located on SFSU campus right next to busy 19th ave bus and shuttle stops. There is usually a bit of a line but it's not too bad and they make the drinks pretty fast. Quality of the drinks is alright, especially if you're in the area and don't feel like walking to Cafe 101 or Peet's. They also sell some breakfast items and snacks. Pricing is pretty normal for a campus cafe. Overall, I've had good experiences here and I would come back. read more

There's always a line at this cafe. There's no line? Ah, well wait 2 minutes... yea, there ya go. I come here to pick up my rice and chicken bowls, my hot tea and my orange juices however the service is usually pretty slow , even with two people staffing it. They do have a microwave just like the HSS building, however people have the unfortunate habit of opening this one up, taking whats in it out and replacing it with their own food. It's a touch better than Cafe Rosso and right on par with HSS without the even BIGGER line they get after certain classes let out. So yea, three stars. read more

Great location for noting! As a college student who is always on a hurry and needs a quick grab and go coffee this is not the place. The staff is so friendly except the owner. He is always in a miserable mood and will over charge you when you order. Example he charged me for almond milk when i clearly told him whoA few times I've ordered a hot vanilla latte and they've forgot the vanilla so i end up paying so much for hot milk and a shot of coffee. BE AWARE OF YOUR ICE COFFE!!!! When I order a hot coffee plain they handed it to me a warm cup of coffee. I thought it was just me since it was freezing and my hands were cold. I added a little sugar and cream and then took a sip. The coffee was cold. I walked up to the window and asked them to please put it in the microwave. The girl kindly said no worries I'll give you a new one she grabbed my first coffee open the lip and poured it into the ice coffee container. I was in shock that this had happened. I was running so so late and was late for a test so I left. I know i should have said something but it was too late and regardless of the situation I'm sure they wouldn't have thrown it away. read more

Station Cafe is open before the sun comes up. On those awful occasions that I have to make the trek to Palo Alto by transit, Station Cafe is my best friend. Solid coffee, a good selection of snacks, and ridiculous early hours are pretty much all I need out of a coffee shop. Being next to the bus stop and not remotely out of my way? That's a big bonus. Bottom Line: Like a good friend, they will be there for you at your bleary eyed worst, helping you make everything okay againn. read more

Station Cafe - They're up before the sun is. - Food Stands Near Me - San Francisco, California

I still love coming here for breakfast, lunch as well as a late snack. Staff members are friendly and service is very efficient. A bus/shuttle stop right in front and a metro stop across the street. Whether you're between classes or have time to spare before going to class, come here if you need something to eat and drink! EDIT FOR 08/07/2014: Their hot chocolate is a tasty beverage. Friendly staff members and efficient services. Absolutely nice spot to get something to eat and drink while waiting for the bus or in between class. read more

I'll keep it simple. This place is alright and convenient. I feel sorry for the kids who work here on cold rainy days. Friendly reminder: Don't forget to tip, it's only polite, plus it's instant karma for great service. read more

I love your redeye!! I love this café, great people and the banana bread rocks. I love the deals going on right now on the sign. But please bring back the flavored coffees! I miss the hazelnuts so much. I had to throw away coffee from here for the first time ever today, adding milk didn't even help it. And another time, I went up and asked for an Italian soda, I even told the new guy what it was, you just mix bubble water with syrup. And he just said we have bubble water and didn't help me. How hard is it to mix syrup with water? read more

I go to Station Cafe literally each day, primarily in the evenings when I work in the HSS Building. Each experience I have had with a Station Cafe employee has been phenomenal. The night shift employees always cheerfully greet me and inquire about my day, week, work, etc. Since I go there quite often, they not only remember my name, but also my order. If my medium coffee is a little cold due to the weather, they always offer to heat it up for me or advise me when the next coffee pot will be finished. Out of the times that I have ordered food in the evenings during work, the staff consistently get my order right (to be fair, they ensure to confirm my order with me a couple of times first). I love going down to get coffee from them because both Sam and Veronica go out of their way to ensure that each order is delivered efficiently and with a smile. read more

Located at the corner of 19th & Holloway, across from the M train & right at the edge of San Francisco State's campus, this little Cafe boasts an array of coffees, teas, pastries, & the world's most loyal customer. That would be me. I get coffee & a bagel, scone or muffin here every morning. Without fail. Everyone who works there is friendly & talkative. Hell, they even spotted me a free breakfast when I opened my wallet & found it empty once (I paid them back the following day, of course). If I didn't already have a kickass coffee shop (Cafe Abir) two blocks from where I live, I'd look into the possibility of planning a latenight Station Cafe kidnapping plot. All I'd need is a friend with a flatbed truck, some grappling hooks, black ski masks, etc. I think it'd look pretty nice on the corner right down the street from my house. There's a little autobody garage & parking lot there, & I'm sure the guy who owns it wouldn't mind if I borrowed just a few little parking spaces to move these guys in. No, seriously though, I love this place, & I usually take one or two work breaks per day to head out there & grab something. read more

Go to Cafe 101. This is the worst cafe on campus. They constantly mess up orders and are honestly just inept at their jobs Ordered this "iced soy latte" and they steamed the milk for some reason so now I have 1/4 of what I paid $5.50 for and it tastes like burning plastic because they poured hot liquid into a plastic cup Consistently bad Update: Christina reached out and let me know I can get a free drink. Appreciated read more

I usually come here for my lunch break when I'm craving the special #3 bagel which consists of turkey, herb cream cheese, sprouts, and tomatoes. On their menu, it says "cream cheese" but it's actually the herb cream cheese that they use. Service is really fast considering people are catching the bus or rushing to class. read more

Station Cafe - Chicken pesto avocado - Food Stands Near Me - San Francisco, California

I spend a LOT of my time here. (So those of you wanting to stalk me, take note.) This review is mainly limited to their baked goods/coffee. (I had a bad sandwich experience on campus once, and have been scared to try them ever since.) That being said both coffee and pastries are DELICIOUS. I am going through a real scone kick right now, and all the scones here are the chronic. ( See the vernacular I've picked up lately? I am so hip.) Allow me to break it down: Lemon Scone: Delicious Apricot Scone: Delicious Pumpkin Scone: Delicious I love their vanilla cream's and nonfat lattes and hot apple cider. The only thing I don't like, is that I'm probably going to gain 30 pounds before Christmas. :( Oh well, I've always liked food better than men anyways. A scone doesn't talk back to you. I like that. read more

Apparently this place farms their own wheat to process into flour, grows their own vegetables to be picked by hand and raises their own poultry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_Food). I've missed three BART shuttles and one 28L while waiting for just one sandwich. The vegan sandwich is actually pretty good, though (+1 star). read more

I used to love coming here for a latte when I was in a rush. Mostly just a cafe students stop at to grab a coffee or a bite as it is conveniently located in front of SFSU where the buses stop. Staff is generally unfriendly and is just trying to move onto the next guest. Prices are reasonable and there is little wait time at most hours. The menu spans from coffees and teas to sandwiches and bagels. They have some ready-made items like pizza and salads for those who don't wish to wait. read more

When I'm craving a big chocolate cookie before class, I make sure to stop by at this cafe. When I'm craving a snack before I get onto the shuttle to the Daly City bart station, I stop by the cafe. This cafe is great because it fulfills my snack cravings. And I love their big & warm chocolate chip cookies, they're the best! I'm a sucker for cookies! But prices here are slightly high in my opinion. I mean $1.15 for a bag of kettle chips?? I thought my dollar snack money was good enough to cover my snack craving, but nope. Other than that, great & convenient place to get snacks! read more

You stumble towards campus on a cold Autumn morning, carrying the weight of your heavy eyes. You squint up at the lavender sky as the sun just begins to blaze across the horizon. The cold crispy air pierces through your SFSU sweater and there's nothing you want more than a fresh cup of coffee and a hot sandwich. Station Cafe is your morning glory. They have a variety of hot sandwiches and bagels that warms you all the way to the soul. The thick Ciabatta bread protects the contents of your sandwich against the unforgiving cold, allowing the meat to stay warm until you silence your growling stomach. You're not done yet. How about slowly sipping your Vanilla Coffee while admiring the last minutes of the Vanilla Twilight. As the owls from Owl City retires to their nest, the coffee invigorates you with the energy to start your day. Station Cafe. Thank you. read more

This place is so convienent to get to right before class. I've had their chai tea which was good until the bottom, where it gets way too sweet. Their macchiatto was pretty good, and I actually really like their mochas. They're not too sweet and heavy like Starbucks. I've also had their blueberry bagels with cream cheese and crossiants but I don't think I need to say much about it because they're things that no one could possibly mess up. And theyre probably from Costco or something, so it's good, but nothing special. So yeah, all in all, great breakfast food! read more

Ok, I think they may know me as a "turkey sandwich, no onions" girl, because often times that is my usual. Well, either that or a plain bagel with sun dried tomato cream cheese. In any case, this cafe is GREAT! They make great sandwiches, they are pretty fast, and they are very friendly as well. I really like that they accept credit cards regardless of how much you spend, unlike the cafe in HSS, which doesn't take credit cards at all (bummer!). I'm going to miss coming to this place almost every morning since I don't eat breakfast at home often. Well, I'd rather sleep for 15 more minutes than to eat. Hey, I tried, boy did I try, but I always hit the snooze button. At least it works out great, because then I get to stop by Station Cafe, which I totally recommend if my 5 star rating wasn't clear! :) read more

The most potent coffee in San Francisco. They have nuclear powered coffee! I have a high tolerance to caffeine but theirs will have me wired for the entire day. Service is great, coffee is always fresh and their prices you can't beat. Great location too. read more

Cashier Michael is consistently pleasant and friendly--give this guy a raise! Their "smoked tofu" is absolutely not smoked. It's plain and unfortunate. They also offer a vegan turkey sandwich which is pretty tasty! The coffee would be nicer if it was organic. Otherwise, this place is alright with a good location. read more

Awesome place. Staff are friendly, efficient, and professional. Love their sandwiches any time of the day, especially the B.L.T.A (Avocado). Only gripe I have is sometimes they are understaffed during lunch and breakfast time, making the wait for your order long and confusing. Had someone take my sandwich. Soon as they realized, I had a replacement made in a rush. Great service. read more

Why you should come here: + Friendly employees + Reasonable wait times + Speedy transactions + Decent hours of operation + Excellent location (especially for those who commute) + Many options for both food and drinks The one drawback: - Lines can be long. (But it's worth the wait and the lines move fast). Overall, this small place gets the job done well. Keep up the excellent work. 5 stars all the way read more

Great that there is a cafe right after people get off the muni. The drinks are good especially the coffee.

they have more items here such as pizzas and tea flavors than at the HSS cafe and cafe rosso. its very convenient because its located right in front of the bus and sfsu shuttle stops. read more

I will walk all the way from the Humanities building (pass Cafe Rosso, and all the other places to eat in the Cesar Chavez) to get my sandwich here. The staff is friendly, and they're very quick. I'm in love with their Veggie Deluxe! Whenever I get it at cafe rosso, I don't know why, but they always mess it up. When I get off the M, usually need to walk toward the direction of the science building, it feels nice to get a hot chocolate and a muffin in the mornings :) read more

Station Cafe - Veggie Deluxe! :D - Food Stands Near Me - San Francisco, California

Not too shabby. I mean, yeah, the counters can get pretty messy as well as the surrounding area with the other add-ins but what do you expect with an outdoor cafe? If I want something quick and have time before class (give or take, maybe 10 minutes), then i'll grab a coffee and a bagel from this place. It's the first thing you see of SFSU when driving down the end of 19th st. haha, so that's what's always stood out about the place to me. I enjoy getting my coffee fixes from here if Peet's line is ridiculous :) read more

I like this place is cheap and convenient. But everytime the coffee is so terrible is either cold or burn. The only time you can get okay coffee is in the morning. Today is the day I finally give up on this place. I asked for a small coffee around 1pm and as the guy is pouring the coffee you can tell is the last of it is burn and old. You can tell the employee knows it and instead of making a whole new batch he shakes the cointainer to get the last of it. Dude they are paying you for this and is not that hard! Tsk tsk. read more

The coffee is not great. I would venture down to Cafe 101 for my Peerless. This place advertises Peet's but it sure doesnt taste like Peet's. I do appreciate the convenience when I am waiting at that bus stop though. read more

Good ol' Yelp, always on top of their closed/not closed listings. It's been back open for like at least 2 years now. Anyway. Functional enough coffee stop at the front gates of SFSU w/ sweets and basic salads and sammies. Prices are pretty good, but they usually only serve Peets "burnt to hide the inferior flavor" blecchy stuff (just can't escape Peets on campus anymore sadly.) The procedure is also weird - get cup at register, self-serve, but the hotness sleeve things are way over by the fixin's bar, so you have to walk over there first then back to the coffee THEN back to the fixins again, or try to navigate a gauntlet of oblivious headphone kids with a hot coffee gingerly balanced in your unprotected hands. #SFSUProblems read more

Station domination. One kind: www.outfrontmedia.com/whatwedo/products/transit/railsubway/pages/stationdomination.aspx Another kind: Turkey pastrami (!) on a wheat roll with all the fixings for $4.75. (!!) Five stars was coming even before the guy helping me reduced the price because I didn't want bacon. (!!!) Stomach dominated this amazing sandwich in no time. read more

In my opinion, this is the best food vendor on campus. It's quick, consistent and has great hours. They have 4-5 varieties of coffee including something organic and fair trade, all from self serve pots. They also have bagels, sandwiches, pastries, candy, fruit, health bars, gum and pizza. They don't have the same selection of toppings for bagels as Natural Sensations in the Student Center but sometimes (most of the time) I'm too lazy to walk way over there for low fat cream cheese and lox. read more

It's a pretty cool little on the run place. Their sandwiches are really good ( I recommend the Pesto Chicken and Turkey Pastrami) and their coffees are decently priced, BUT the best bang for your buck is the large coffee at 1.75, the size of it is worth it compared to the other 2 (small and medium are not worth the price for the size). The people who work there are really awesome as well, have yet to encounter anyone who isn't upbeat. read more

It's definitely one of the better cafes/eateries at SFSU, but that's not saying much. I do enjoy their bagel specials. However, there is nothing special here to write home about. Everything, from bagels to sandwiches to coffee, is pretty mundane. But sometimes, when a long day at school is looming before you, mundane is exactly what you need. A bagel with cream cheese and a medium coffee may just hit the spot. read more

Food is fine when they can get the order right. Everyone working here this morning was so rude and short. It's really convenient though, so I can't complain too much. read more

I love that it's the first and last cafe I see when I go to SFSU. They make great coffee and like a tweed-wearing used car salesman would say: "at an unbelievable low price"! The sandwiches are great and made to perfection. I can always grab coffee and still keep my eye out for the Muni or Shuttle like any public transportation junkie would do. read more

The very first time I came here, the coffee was cold. Since then, I've been back 5 more times and had no problems with the coffee (other than not being able to get decaf in the afternoon). They are open bright and early in the morning so you can get your fix before class, though there's usually a line at that time. The workers are quite friendly and helpful! Discount for bringing your own cup, so bring your own cup! read more
