Toasted Croissant with Sausage, Egg and Cheese
Van H.

A tiny corner neighborhood spot, but delicious breakfast sandwiches and great prices! The owner was so sweet and the service was quick. Got a croissant sandwich with sausage egg, egg, and cheese with hot sauce and a vanilla latte for $9.50 which is unheard of nowadays. The sandwich is also pretty large and the croissant is toasted and buttery. It's a tiny place so not really any seating, more of a takeaway place. If I lived here I'd be a regular!

Regular (large) Thai tea

The Art Bistro has been in this neighborhood for many years. They offer a very affordable menu of bagel, croissant, sandwiches and coffee. They have a today special everyday at a very reasonable price. I usually will grab 4 if it is chicken, tomato and cheese sandwiches. They give a generous portion of ingredients. The coffee starts at $2 for a small cup in price. Not only the portion is generous, the ingredients are fresh. The sandwiches are made/assembled/toasted right after ordered. You will get a warm sanwiches with cheese melting and coffee steaming hot. One of the hot items that I always see customers order is Thai tea which is only available in 2 sizes - medium and regular (large). I am not a fan of Thai tea, too sweet for me, but my husband loves it. Other than daily special, they also offer kid's meal in the afternoon. There are 2 big schools nearby so you can expect a long waiting line during lunch and afternoon. In fact, you will always see multiple customers waiting inside and outside the store. That said, they are good, not just talking about the food, their staff are all nice and friendly.

Bagel with Butter
Jennifer T.

Such a cute little cafe near Washington HS (I came here after the recommendation of an alum)! The prices are extremely reasonable and service is great. They make the bagel sandwiches fresh and with generous amounts of ingredients. It's a great to-go breakfast spot and in a pretty location. They only take cash so keep that in mind.

Bagel with Bacon, Egg and Cheese
Crystal L.

Such a gem of a coffe shop in the city! The best price you can get for a bagel sandwich in SF. Not to mention they give 3 pieces of bacon, delicious cheese they added some special seasoning to, and the bagel is soft and flatter than most bagel, not too thick. It's a perfect bagel imo. A very cute little corner store with the cutest, sweetest lady running the shop. Discovered this place two weeks ago and have been twice already!

The overall ambiance of the place was very cozy. The people that work there are so welcoming and lovely it made the food even more enjoyable. Got a breakfast sandwich with cheese, egg, and sausage with hot sauce. Pretty tasty along side some good Viet coffee and Thai tea ! Would recommend this place for a quick breakfast and a good energy pick me up !

Bacon Egg and Cheese on Everything Bagel - every bite is gooey, crispy and delicious. Highly recommend it with an iced Thai Tea.

I've been here quite a few times but it's finally time I wrote a review. This small hole in the wall shop at the corner of the street is a perfect location for a quick bite and some coffee or even Thai ice tea with boba! Every time I come here, it seems like a lot of locals visit this spot because they're always chatting with the workers. The lady there is the sweetest lady ever. She's so welcoming and friendly. I don't come as often as I'm sure others do but every time I do, her energy is the exact same - super contagious. Their prices have not changed (or if they did, not by much) since I came almost about a year ago. I've only tried their bagels here so I can't speak for their other items but that's because their bagels always hit the spot. They're bigger than most coffee shops that serves bagels + they allow you to include mayo, ketchup, and hot sauce! How awesome is that? They also use a generous amount of cheese, just look at how melty the cheese is on my bagel. I've tried their Thai tea once since they advertise it as the best in the world. I wouldn't go as far as to say best but it's a decent Thai ice tea. And where else can you get a large Thai ice tea for $3.50? You can get a big bagel and a large Thai ice tea for under $10! Right outside, they have a little small stand for food donations and for anyone to take if they need it. It's such a sweet gesture and it's awesome seeing people in the community contribute to it. Definitely stop by and support this spot if you're in the area and looking for a quick bite. The lady is the sweetest and you can tell she loves doing what she does. She even go as far to come around the counter and bring out your order!

The selection of non-alcoholic mocktails and retail bottles is truly exquisite it's rare to see this much variety and quality in one spot. I had the Epic Breakfast Sandwich, and it lived up to the name; it was absolutely incredible and so tasty. I also tried the seasonal Earl Grey Latte, which was delicious and perfectly balanced. I ended up grabbing a bottle of Woody NA sparkling wine to take home. I'm so excited to try it, especially knowing it's sustainably farmed by a winemaker in Healdsburg. This is a must-visit for anyone looking for a premium, intentional NA experience. I can't wait to go back!

I cannot recommend the BBQ Pork Banh Mi enough! I got extra cucumbers and sauce but honestly, totally fine without the extras.

We found Mr. Banh Mi in the nearby Outer Richmond neighborhood, and it looked legit from what we saw. It was our first time in the Outer Richmond, and it turned out to be a really charming area with lots of good food and cool little shops. Mr. Banh Mi is a small hole-in-the-wall with a pickup window and a tiny interior counter and kitchen. I ordered the BBQ Pork Banh Mi since the young man up front kindly recommended it, and my girlfriend ordered the Tofu Banh Mi. These sandwiches were super well-priced and came out fast, hot, and good-sized. They smelled amazing and had our mouths watering immediately. We ate half at the beginning of our walk and saved the other half for later in the day at Golden Gate Park. The BBQ pork had a great sauce on it and plenty of jalapeños and pickled veggies, mostly carrots, and not quite enough daikon for me personally, but it was absolutely loaded with meat and vegetables. It was delicious when fresh, but somehow even better a few hours later when I finished the second half. The sauce had soaked into the bread more, and the flavors really came together. I did miss the usual huge helping of buttery Vietnamese mayo, and there was no pâté, which was a slight disappointment for me. It did feel a little dry at first since the juicy marinated BBQ pork had to provide most of the moisture. That said, the bread was crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and everything tasted super fresh. Overall, this was the perfect on-the-go meal, and I would definitely come back next time I'm heading to Golden Gate Park.

Alma's Hot and Spicy was also a winner, as was the Giants. Kudos for having simple sandwiches with the option to make as weird and customizable as is reasonable!

Definitely one of the best I've tried and just elevated the sandwich as a whole. 10/10 might have to grab two next time I'm in the city!

No wait. No crowds. My family had the margarita, the meatball, and the mushroom/arugula pizzas. They were so good that I went ahead and ordered desserts, even though I hadn't planned on it. The pizzas were delicious so I figured the desserts weren't to be missed! We landed on the s'mores calzone and chocolate banana bread. We were already stuffed from the pizzas but still crushed the desserts. So good. Definitely coming back to try the breakfast next time!

It's low key one of the best coffee spots in the area in addition to being a genuinely good breakfast, lunch and dinner spot. The pizzas and sandwiches may not be made in a fancy oven, but the dough they use has so much flavor. The toppings they use are all excellent combinations. It's by far our favorite place on Balboa and is also the closest to us. If I had an open morning, I'll go there occasionally to work (using my own hotspot) while having breakfast or we will go on the weekends for the happy hour and early dinner. Overall a great spot for coffee, wine, and pizza. All things I love.
