The Lighthouse is bright, airy and warm all at the same time. I visited the cafe on a Friday morning right before 9 am, and the space was still fairly empty. There were plenty of tables by the windows looking out at the willow trees and I was happy to snag a spot in the sun. Even though the parking lot right outside was full, there were plenty of spaces in the big lot across the street. I will note that the large lot was completely full by the time I left at 11 am though. I ordered an iced chai latte with oatmilk ($7 after tax) and I thought it was so sweet that the server brought my drink when it was ready. I also appreciate when cafes don't charge extra for alternative milks. The WiFi was fast and easy to connect to, with no password like other folks mentioned. Although the drink was nothing extraordinary, I was happy to have such a pleasant space to work in. I would definitely come back to do remote work if I ever needed a space that is reliable and comfortable. read more

This cafe is very spacious, clean and not too loud. They have free wifi with no password under "Alexandria." I got there at around 10:30ish am and parking was already full. Parking is quite limited but there is a huge parking lot across that's free. The restroom for women was very clean and beautiful. The doors for the restroom were fully closed with no space for somebody to take a peek. They also have a basket full of free tampons and pads (even pads meant for a heavy period), which was very thoughtful of them to add! There's also a lot of seats so you don't have to worry about that. Most tables came with a plug in on the floor but I found that the tables near the big window didn't have one. Maybe it was just mine though. I ordered a hot chocolate w almond milk and 2 shots which came out to be $10.16. It tasted very standard and not good at all. I don't think it's worth the price since the drink was very mediocre. Service is great though! It started to get busy around 11pm for their lunch menu I believe. There's one area meant for a large group of people to dine. It'd be a great space for meetings or just a large gathering. I think I also saw a table at the back near the restrooms that can be used but I'm not too sure. Overall, good studying place with its amazing natural lighting and pretty weeping willows to look at! read more

Food: - Didn't get a drink since it seemed pretty expensive and they only had caffeinated options or alcoholic drinks - N/A Service: - One server who seemed chill - Wasn't served but the server was friendly when we asked for napkins - Let us sit even though we didn't order food/drinks - 10/10 Ambiance: - We came here to study and it was great for that - Not too busy or loud - Plenty of seating and lots of outlets, even in the floor - Plenty of parking - Lots of sunlight - 9/10 (only subtracted 1 point because I like studying in a cozier environment) Overall Rating: 9/10, but I can't speak to the food or drink! read more

Great place to work and study, as noted by many other Yelpers and myself. The place itself is very spacious, and the workers are friendly. There's a few outlets but many work tables for people to drink/eat and spend a day out of home and out of office. My friend and I were able to snag a table, and while a majority of the tables remained full throughout the day, there was always space for someone new to come in and work. I recently tried their Iced Chai on a weekday afternoon and loved the flavoring and how sweet it was. I was planning on eating dinner at another place, so I wasn't able to try out any of their foods. I'm interested in coming back for their Happy Hour, as their Margherita Pizza and Caramelized Mushroom Pizza both sound quite appetizing! read more

Ordered the bkfst burrito without salsa verde and it was still good, happy that it was chicken chorizo!! I don't eat pork. T The aesthetics, Vibes, atmosphere is everything! If I didn't have to work 4 days in the office now and I learned about this cafe sooner, I would have been working here everyday! There's also a child care 3 mins away(driving) that I am going to check out so I can drop off my girls to pre-school. There are outlets for your laptops on the floor, 2 options for WiFi and 4 different menus all day! Bkfst, lunch, happy house 3-6, dinner 100% recommend coming to check it out, pop open your laptop or even grabbing a meal with your family/ friends Downside, I came here around 9:30am and the parking is packed. I parked a nice walk away Rating this a 4 star so there are better parking options. Other than, service, food and ambiance is fireeee read more

Came to here to get work done. It was a Monday and there definitely some seat available. The place has a lovely view that makes it motivating to get work done here. You can also order food and drinks here while you get work done here. There's also meeting room spaces. Broccoli Pizza (3/5): This pizza was pretty bland and it tasted like to was mostly crust. It would help to add more white sauce. Overall I'll probably come here again to get work done, but probably won't get more food read more

I came on a Friday morning at 8am (opening) and no one was here. Even at 11:30am, still plenty of tables left, but mostly communal. Fairly large indoor seating area and a few tables outside as well. They play music inside, so it may not be the best to take calls, but you can go outside to take any calls. The bathroom is fairly nice as well and there are sanitizer dispensers throughout the area. The service was great, shoutout to Hai Tien. Tables are cleaned regularly and food is brought to your table. WiFi was good, and I was able to take a few work calls with little to no lag. The breakfast burrito and latte were good - not amazing but definitely gets the job done! As others have said, parking lot is on the smaller side so you may potentially have some trouble finding parking on a busy day. read more

The Lighthouse is an impressive establishment with plenty of outlets and a good WFH vibe. I ordered: + Matcha Latte with Oatmilk and Lavender [4/5] + Mac & Cheese [5/5] + Side Salad [4/5] The matcha latte was pretty good, nothing too fancy but still pretty creamy and sweet. The Mac & Cheese is SOO worth it! I thought it was a great portion size for the price, and comes with ample sauce and crunchy breadcrumbs! The Side Salad is a pretty average salad but also a good portion size for the price. read more

Very nice big space to work/study. It's tucked in-between a bunch of biotech companies so it's definitely a spot where you are specifically coming for this place only, unless you work in the area. They do have a bunch of parking spots which is a plus. Very open space with many tables, outlets on floors, and lots of natural lighting. They serve breakfast/lunch as well as drinks which is a plus! (They even have tap beer haha) They do close at 3pm though so this is not a place for late afternoon/night studying. Broccoli pizza: 3.5/5 surprisingly pretty good Iced Chai Latte: 4/5 perfectly sweetened, it was good Side note: Their bathroom was super nice, clean, and looks a little boujee. read more

Beautiful, spacious cafe. Situated walking distance from the South SF Caltrain, so the transportation there is quite easy. There didn't seem like a lot of parking spaces available so parking could be a bit difficult. The cafe is very bright and almost everyone at the small tables there were there to work, which I feel motivated as a result. I got a latte and the price is super reasonable. The latte is decent. There were also food menu but I didn't get any food. Overall, the experience is positive! Great ambiance as well! read more

The cafe was much larger than I expected. There was a lot of space in between tables, so you have your own space to study without being disrupted! I ordered an ice coffee. It was not too sweet and was not too bitter either! It was what you'd expect. The order came out in 10 mins around lunch time. Since the cafe is so large, you really have to listen for your name! read more

Great place for a weekday lunch or working coffee! Quiet, clean, and calm with plenty of spacious laptop-friendly tables and fast wifi. The food is fresh and healthy. I recommend the soups and the hummus! The only thing is parking can be a little confusing - the lighthouse specific parking lot is very small, and in the opposite lot there are a few rows that are for other businesses only. But there are a few rows that don't have any signs, so I parked there. read more

I saw this place on Instagram (an influencer I follow came here) and so I had to--but it took time! I don't have a car in SF and was wondering how to get here. Luckily for me, I was car-sitting and came down with a friend (another Yelp Elite, Christina L.!) Parking was easy, ample, and free (there's a few EV chargers too!) We admired the surrounding lush greenery and the tall, modern biotech buildings. The Lighthouse building is wooden, modern, and cavernous as well. When you walk in, there's first some side seating and an auditorium--walk to the left of that. There's floor-to-ceiling windows and large doors that open and let in light. There's an outdoor sofa and seating outside, but most people were working, chatting, and sitting inside. Lots of people coworking--lots of outlets here. We each ordered the $8 pistachio cream lattes--I got iced, and Christina got hot. They were good but I didn't taste the pistachio much. The employee said the order didn't print so they forgot our order and we had to go up and remind them. Oh well, we were camped out coworking there for a few hours. They serve alcohol and a lot of sandwiches, salads, and lunch/breakfast items. Will be back to cowork out of. Groups and individuals can rent out the space for larger events. read more

Spacious and beautiful cafe with high floor to ceiling windows and nice vibes. I have only been here early in the morning, so the parking lot and cafe were relatively empty and quiet which was perfect for working, reading, journaling, or just sipping on something in peace. This place is surrounded by a bunch of (biotech) companies so if you're wondering if your GPS is taking you to the right place once you get off the freeway, don't worry ahah read more

Gorgeous place! I love the social buzzing atmosphere they have going on here -- makes working here fun. There is plenty of seating and great natural lighting. The staff is super sweet and makes sure they get your order correct. I'll definitely go here to do work again :) and you can get a stamp card for drinks! 2/10 strawberry matcha. I was very excited for this but the matcha came in full colored and the flavor was not there. I got mine with oat milk and it tasted better than if you were to get it with whole milk. The strawberry flavor was also very lacking. When I would usually get strawberry matcha at other places , the strawberry would add a nice tarte flavor. I didn't get any strawberry or tarte flavor. 5/10 grilled cheese and tomato soup. The soup could be a bit more flavorful but I enjoyed it with the grilled cheese. Would be better if there was more to add flavor to my grilled cheese. The grilled cheese was also lacking flavor. I don't know if it was the lack of seasoning or the type of cheese they used. 4/10 Mac and cheese. I love the type of noodles they used as the boodles that did get cheese had cheese inside it. There would've been more cheese sauce (and more cheese type). I don't don't what type of cheese they used but a little cheddar (not white) might help. I was actually looking for salt and pepper because it was very lacking. I would order it again if I bring my own salt and pepper! I will come back again just to continue working in such a gorgeous place. I walk my dog around as there's a really small trail at the front. I want to try their other drinks when I come back :) read more

I wanted to try new cafe spots to do work at and super glad I found the lighthouse! They have breakfast and lunch options. I ordered a breakfast burrito which came with a salsa. I liked how the panini pressed it and the flavor of the potatoes and peppers. I did feel like the chicken chorizo used was dry and could have e used more seasoning. The space has high ceiling and feels open and gets a good amount of natural light in. The staff member who helped me with my order was friendly. read more

The Lighthouse has been on my list of coffee spots to visit for a while, and I'm glad I got a chance to go! I read online that parking is hard to find, and when I arrived I luckily found one open space because the lot is super full. It looks like you can also park in other neighboring lots though. There are plenty of tables to sit at, but not all of them have access to charging ports if you plan to do some work there. There is also free wi-fi to connect to. They have a breakfast and lunch menu, and I came around lunch time. Food options for lunch range from salads to pizzas, and I saw they also offer Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup, which I ordered. In addition, I ordered a Lavender Oat Iced Matcha. The Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup is the perfect serving for one person, though I kind of found it a little small. The matcha was great! The flavor and the dark green color were there which indicates good matcha powder was used. I would probably order the same drink again if I come back, or try their iced lattes. You can order your food and drinks at the register, and they will give you a number so they can deliver them to you. The ambiance can range from quiet to loud depending on the people because some are networking and some are attending events that are being hosted next door. Overall, I think it's a great spot to do work at if they are not super busy! read more

The Lighthouse is nestled between a bunch of biotech offices in South SF, but it's a beautiful building with an amazing study ambiance. I came on Monday afternoon and it had lots of open seating and plugs. There's outdoor seating as well! I tried their Tuna melt, Chicken Avocado sandwiches, and hazelnut latte and I'd say the Tuna melt was the standout. The latte was way too sweet, and the sandwich prices were a bit steep for the size but you're paying for the ambiance too. Bathroom was super nice and clean, and I would definitely come back again to work with a drink! read more

This place literally false advertisement and tried to rip me off. Only food option in the area so had to eat real quick because my room wasn't ready across the street. I ordered the croissant sandwich and it clearly states on the menu it includes either sausage or turkey bacon for 13 bucks. The guy added like 5 bucks for the bacon lol When I saw that he said it's not included. I argued and showed him it says it is on the menu. Didn't go anywhere because he clearly didn't understand what included means. I don't care about pricing if clearly stated. I don't like getting hustled. read more

The space: Beautiful, spacious, lots of natural lighting coming in through the floor to ceiling windows. There are plenty of outlets in the floor for those, like me, who are able to WFH. Additionally, there is free Wi-fi which I have been able to use for calls/work. In fact, this is probably my favorite cafe to work at during the week. That being said, I would say that you are paying for the space and not really the food/coffee. Food/coffee: The coffee selections are better than most, but the latte options are limited to the syrups they have on-hand. I have been to this cafe several times, but the more I go, the more I realize that it's the space that makes this cafe/restaurant and not the items on the menu. The most recent time I visited, I got a 16oz drip coffee but was surprised to see a ton of clear rectangles floating at the surface? I did not drink it after that and got a cold brew instead. The sandwiches and pizza are good, but I would not get these again. I got their tomato soup and grilled cheese, but only got half of the cup filled with soup! If I pay $13+, excluding tip, the least I expect is a full cup - especially since this was under the "Lunch" section of the menu. For reference, a cup of soup is $5 on its own, so this tells me that the grilled cheese is worth $8? This wasn't just a one-time thing either, I gave this a couple of chances until ultimately writing this review. Overall: 3 stars I love the ambiance, outlet accessibility, and staff/service. I would go here for work/studying or to chat with friends. Again, it is one of my favorite places for to work. On the other hand, the food/coffee let me down quite a bit as the portions and flavor aren't backed by the price you pay here. read more

The Lighthouse - Tomato soup and grilled cheese upon receiving it - only half-way filled - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - South San Francisco, California

The Lighthouse was a relaxing and picturesque spot to hang for lunch. For a party of 3 we ordered the margarita pizza, a chicken and avocado panini, peach and walnut salad, and a spinach artichoke dip. All of the dishes were very well presented, and tasted good. The pizza however was a disappointment, as the sauce wasn't flavorful and there was a sparse amount of basil. I would try the mushroom one next time. All of our food came at once after almost half an hour, not sure I would recommend this place if you're looking for something quick. Highlights: the salad was a great starter, really fresh greens and a citrusy dressing. The spinach and artichoke dip was the surprise favorite. It's yogurt based, I believe (healthier?) going heavy on the feta and dill flavor, paired with toasted pita chips. I believe their menu may change seasonally so watch out for specials. I've yet to try their beer on tap or any coffee bar drinks. There is plenty of parking since it is in the heart of oyster point and is surrounded by all the biotechnology buildings. Note they are closed weekends. If I was still a student I would definitely come to study with coffee. Just the ambiance alone gives this place a few points, and the servers were so friendly to chat with. read more

4 stars if you don't need an outlet lol I watched at least two people open the floor outlet covers and try multiple ones before giving up/finding one that worked. Bright and sunny space that's perfect for group work or a solo wfh. Wifi was great and there's no password for access. Restrooms were really clean and spacious as well. The small parking lot in the front was full so I parked across the street but not sure if that's allowed since there were no signs that I saw... I just got an iced coffee and stayed for 2-3 hrs but saw others easily stay for longer! The food looked okay; wish they had more pastries but I'll definitely stay for lunch next time. Prices looked a little high tho. Lots of seating before 10am, but became more packed as the day went on. read more

Accessibility: easy to find parking, and many accessible spots available. They have about 5 to 6 charging stations as well for the electric vehicles. And across the street even more parking. On the left side of interior is the cafe part. The right side is more of the conference space. Inside altogether, the layout is simple, well kept and clean. The cashier/barista with the long brunette hair is the absolute sweetest. She made my experience here, even just by ordering a lavender matcha latte, which was delicious by the way. Perhaps next time I'm in the area, I'll try ordering some real food as their menu looks great. I will say that there was a gentleman who was after me asking about their cookies as I overheard the conversation, so I ended up ordering a cookie myself since he was raving about it. And he was absolutely right that these cookies are delicious. It's a different kind of chocolate chip cookie with a unique texture and savory flavor in my opinion. I actually love it. It balances well with the Rose Lemonade that I ended up purchasing also. read more

I give the entire location a 10/10! I really enjoyed coming here to study, the open seating area and natural light that comes through makes for a cozy and relaxing space to study at or catch up with friends. The volume in here is not super loud, I would still stay respectful and mindful of your surroundings. We came at happy hour, ordered the spinach artichoke dip - it was like a 7/10? I didn't love the very hard pita bread, but the dip itself was good! My boyfriend thought the dip tasted too much of herbs. Overall, great experience! read more

Great place to study, grab a drink with friends, and enjoy the architecture of the building. There are floor outlets near each table to charge your devices and enough tables and chairs inside and outside. Parking is not too bad but please read the signs.

I think this place is a super great place to hang out and get work done. It's super modern and has a very nice atmosphere. However, I will say, I was a little disappointed in the coffee and sandwich I ordered. I got an iced caramel latte, which tasted like pure sugar (and barely coffee). The sandwich was not terrible, but the chicken was dry and hard like cardboard. Other than that, everything came out in less than 10minutes or so. I would probably come back for the atmosphere. read more

This was such a beautiful place to study or work(and secret outlets everywhere!) Parking was a little bit difficult to find. Service was relatively quick you order at the counter, then take a number and they will serve it to you at your table. The pricing for drinks is more on the expensive side however, the food is more fair. My order: Strawberry Matcha with Oatmilk - It was fairly good, it was sweetened by the strawberry only but definitely can't justify the price point. Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Tomato Bisque - this was surprisingly really good. I wasn't that hungry, but this was perfect and I enjoyed it well worth the price. read more

Aesthetics of the restaurant was minimalistic. So clean and spacious. Tons of parking on surrounding lots. Service was quick and the staff greeted you with smiles and offered suggestions! The Caesar Salad, Mac&cheese, and grilled cheese with tomato soup was tasty. Minus 1 star because it was nothing over the top, but definitely solid dishes! Minus another 1 star because the drinks were very sweet and watery at the same time. We got the Dirty Chai and matcha soy (we could barely taste the flavors in the drinks ): just tasted like we left our drink out for 30min before drinking, hence the watery taste). Overall experience was nice. I would recommend for WFH folks or students :) read more

The lighthouse is a nice area to study and get some work done. Ample seating inside and outside as well. Some tables have outlets on the floor and it is sideways (might need a little elbow grease to plug it in lol). I ordered a mac and cheese for $5. Not bad, but def eat it all before it gets cold. It tastes weird if it's not eaten warm. Wifi was "alexandra" I believe and no password needed. For parking.... you could park anywhere I guess. I wasn't towed, even though the signs said you needed a permit. Was here for maybe 2-3 hours early afternoon and then left before traffic! Would come here again.... and on a side note, their bathroom is so nice and clean! read more

Such a great spot to work/study. Several seats and large tables to do work. There is a parking lot, but it can get full easily and I parked across the street at the hotel parking lot. Not sure if this was allowed, but didn't get a ticket! The space is very big! Unfortunately, I got there a little after they were done serving the breakfast menu, so I had to wait for the lunch menu. Instead of getting it, I ended up with a blueberry muffin (can ask for it to be heated up) and my friend got a chocolate croissant. Both were huge! Very delicious, and I don't have photos of the iced coffee, but also delicious! A little pricey, but then again what cafe isn't haha. If you're looking for a study spot, this is it! read more

I tried the breakfast food including the salmon lox and breakfast burrito which were okay, but nothing really stood out to me. The bagel was also slightly stale and hard to chew. I also got the latte which was decent. Service was okay too. If you're looking for a spacious and nice place to study or get work done I would definitely recommend this spot. read more

5/5 interior, 4/5 service, 2/5 food. ~Definitely great place for getting work done~ Stopped by after work for some coffee, a bite, and to catch up with a friend. Aside from the table drinking wine and catching up outside, other tables were occupied by individuals or groups working on laptops. What we ordered: - Iced Americano - Latte - Caramelized Mushroom Pizza - Spinach and Artichoke Dip + pita The mushroom pizza was somewhat dry. The crushed red peppers served on the side helped with flavoring, however, we took the leftovers home and spruced it up with some parmesan cheese, pesto, and a bit of truffle aioli to add moisture and enhance the flavor profile. The Spinach and artichoke dip was also dry, which was unfortunate because the pita chips would've benefited from a luscious/velvety dip. All in all, this place is aesthetic and suitable for sitting and getting some work done (especially if you want to work remotely), however, the food is a hit or miss. read more

Parking: Free parking in the lot in front of the store, which is small so it fills up fast. There's a parking lot across the street, though it's for the other buildings in the area (with signs that say so), so not sure if that's advised. Ambiance: Nice, open space with high ceilings and windows for plenty of natural lighting. Very modern and chic, with seating options both inside and in their outdoor patio. The restrooms are clean, unisex rooms. Food and Drink: Pretty standard food and coffee with the price tag of being in the center of many corporate buildings. Wifi & Outlets: The wifi was good; I didn't notice any lag during my zoom call. The main room has a few scattered tables, and there's a room in the back that has one long table and outlets adjourning the sides of the table. read more

I highly recommend The Lighthouse for business lunches, working, or studying! I worked at the building next door and would frequent The LH for quick lattes and lunch outside of work. The building features modern architecture with beautiful floor to ceiling windows, making the overall ambience relaxing and pleasant. There is also free WiFi available. The food is pretty decent overall, but some items are a bit pricey for what you get. (Also, some items can be a miss) I wouldn't consider it a restaurant, but a nice spot for lunch. Their menu options are limited, but do have a good variety. I enjoyed the hummus as well as the mushroom pizza. The overall dining area has lots of seating, but can get busy during lunchtime. Best time to go is in the early morning or afternoon. The cafe also occasionally closes off to customers when there is a business event going on. Parking - there is a small lot in the front, but it is oftentimes occupied by the early am. The outside surrounding lot is reserved for employees with permits. That being said, as the cafe gains traction, it may be a little difficult to find parking read more

A hidden gem within the biotech area in SSF! O R D E R E D - roasted corn and peach salad - caramelized mushroom pizza V E R D I C T I love their outdoor dining area, it's so relaxing and also gives grandmother willow vibes haha I love how cozy the whole place is, whether it's to have a meeting, do some work, a quick coffee break, you can feel the peace and quiet here with some delicious food. Can't wait to try all of their season items and drinks. The peach salad definitely was not what I was expecting in a good way! I was expecting a bland-ish salad and boy was I wrong. Nothing was bland about THIS salad, they packed in the flavor and toppings and it was perfect. Same goes for the mushroom pizza, it had lots of mushroom and the crust was perfectly soft and crunchy at the same time. It can be tough to find parking sometimes with all those permit spots but def worth it to come here. read more

5 stars for ambiance, but the price and the quality of the food takes it down a couple notches.
