This little cafe has it's own quaint seating indoors, but I loved the outdoor space they share with the neighboring Infinity hotel! They have a nice menu of bites and drinks, with one of my faves being their loaded toast with a spread of hummus, freshly sliced avocado, and smoked salmon topped with a sprinkle of chili powder. The molletes (toasted roll bread topped with refried beans, chorizo & melted cheese, with pico salsa) also caught my eye, but I'll have to try that next time. Conveniently located along the 28 bus route, they're a nice stop around the Marina district. Service was nice and straightforward.
At 7pm we found it's hard to find a true coffee shop open on our way our of town. We happened to find Twisted Cafe. The barista was kind & welcoming. Quick service. Reasonable (big city) prices & great coffee. The café is cozy & inviting. There is a cushioned seating area along the windows, great for people watching. We ordered 2 Carmel machhiatos & an Americano, totalled about $20, including a tip. All 3 were delicious & hot.
Excellent small caffeine drip, we got some lattes. Great staff, chill environment, I didn't find anything sensational or experimental here unlike ube, hot honey, and reduced Champaign syrups sticking Midwest coffee in all directions however this did us just fine staring our city adventure.
This cute little spot serves up tasty coffees with small breakfast plates. Located within a main hotel, its cute, comfortable small interior gives you a break from the busy street. We tried their hot Americano with hazelnut and it was just what we needed to start our day. We also grabbed an everything bagel that was loaded with cream cheese. This spot offers various refreshments and their restroom is located in the hotel and you need to the key from the cafe.
Just tried a drink here recently after a run! Service was friendly, and I ordered one of their hot Chai Lattes. There is minimal seating indoors, but most of it was taken up by customers since it was quite cold outside. My Chai Latte came in a cute cup with their logo on it. Since I was okay braving the cold, I sat in their fancy outdoor seating area, equipped with a fireplace. The latte itself had a tasty chai taste and was quite warm when I received it, almost burning my tongue. On a cold spring morning in San Francisco, I'm glad I was able to give this place a try!
Looked for a quick bite to eat in the area and this place is as good as their pictures and reviews. - salmon avocado toast 5/5 - latte with coconut 5/5 The open-faced sandwich was so hearty! So much topping and perfectly filling for a quick breakfast or lunch. Coffee was delightful, as requested. Latte with coconut syrup. I must try if you are in the area
The Cafe is pretty simple; their food items are just common snacks you can make at home, and the price is perfectly reasonable. They have small amount of inside seating, but a lot of outdoor seatings that is shared with a Hotel. The wifi isn't super fast, but comparable with different coffee shops across SF. It does the job, and the coffee is good.
I stopped by here with a group of four on a Saturday night. Got a chocolate strawberry smoothie, and a few other coffee and tea beverages. My smoothie had zero sweetness, and I could not taste any strawberry or chocolate flavor. It was very strange and kinda gross. Either there was something spoiled in the beverage (such as the fruit or milk) or they loaded it with artificial ingredients that are simply unpalatable. It would be different if the flavor was just weak, as I'll still sip on a bland or watered down smoothie. But what I got was not drinkable at all, and I had to throw it away. Everyone else who got a basic coffee or tea said their drinks were fine, not great but at least tolerable. Perhaps it was an off day, but I probably won't be back. I still gave this place 2 stars cuz staff was friendly and the place was cute with a few seats inside for hanging out with family and friends.
The barista staff are the loveliest people! I needed to use the bathroom, but someone was using it at the time, and the barista was kind enough to let me know when the person was out and handed me the key card. Every interaction with them was so sweet. The inside is a wonderful place to hunker down for an afternoon chat or a work session. The seats are super comfy and there are little tables. We went around 2pm on Saturday, and there was plenty of seating. We got the matcha latte! Pretty smooth and frothy.
This is for their açai bowl as my husband will drive 15 minutes to get theirs and think it's the best in the city and perhaps anywhere overall
Ordered the Avocado Toast with a side of bacon. Extra points for the tasty, not very toasted, but holds up to eating by hand. Looks like the entire menu is grab & go. The avocado toast was beautifully presented topped with a lovely purple nasturtium, sans the utilitarian foam container. Menu has an abundance of bagel combinations, as well as some fine coffee & tea. Inside is 4 cafe tables, facing the windows, marble tops, cherry red stylish chairs. Theres a long banquet bench hugging the picture windows. Found out the cafe rents space in the Infinity Hotel by Hilton. That explains the classy chairs & fire pit outside. There's seems to be a 50/50 mix of locals, & tourists from the many motels (really cool vintage neon signs) dotting Lombard St. This is not the famous twisty portion of the street, rather, on a busy, noisy throughway towards the Golden Gate Bridge. I'll be returning to Twisted St. cafe for sure.
"She was born in spring But I was born too late Blame it on a simple twist of fate" (Bob Dylan) Well, it kind of looks like a convenience store from the outside. And it kind of looks like a convenience store from the inside. But if you look deeper into the interior, you'll see an ordering counter and a kitchen. That's because the Twisted Café REALLY is a café. It's open every single day from 7AM - 10PM serving breakfast bagel and croissant sandwiches, breakfast toasts, bowls, pastries, smoothies, specialty sandwiches, teas and coffees. There are racks of potato chips and the like, refrigerated cases with soda, juices, beer, energy drinks, and a few grocery items. There are a few tables and chairs inside and a few outside in the courtyard next to the Infinity hotel. We were two of a dozen relatives staying at Infinity, all in town for a wedding. Our group made quite a few trips into the Twisted Café for snacks , drinks, breakfast, sandwiches, etc. The day of the wedding, we didn't want a big lunch, so my wife and I split a Veggie Delight Sandwich ($14) with Hummus, avocado, provolone cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, everything bagel seeds, tomatoes, and arugula on toasted ciabatta bread. It was really loaded up thick with all of those goodies and was an excellent value for the price, quantity and quality. A bag of chips was $1.99 and a Cappuccino was $5. Pretty reasonable pricing as well. The service was excellent, from the cheerful gent at the morning counter to the smiling young lady at the afternoon counter. There is a big screen TV on their exterior wall facing the courtyard, and we saw a group of soccer fans watching the World Cup! That seemed very appropriate given the "community vibes" we felt at the Twisted Café. read more

Stopped in for coffee & a lox bagel. Two coffees & a lox bagel came out to almost $30. Service was great, the employee that helped us was super friendly. The coffee was solid (iced vanilla lavender latte & iced vanilla pistachio latte though the lavender in the vanilla latte was very light). The bagel did not come toasted (not sure if this is something you have to ask for or if it's even an option) but would've for sure tasted better toasted. Very small shop with cute green cushions...can seat maybe 8-10 ppl inside. Conveniently located across a hotel so if you're staying there, this is a nice spot. read more
While walking through the neighborhood, I decided to try a new coffee shop for a change. Twisted St. Cafe was nearby, so I decided to check it out. The cafe is small and next to a hotel. Despite its size, it offers comfortable seating inside and out. Sitting inside, which is what I opted for, I could see the busy foot and car traffic pass by on Lombard Street. They offer a variety of breakfast options, and their Avocado Toast looked inviting, but I stayed with a cup of drip coffee. There was only one person behind the counter, and she welcomed me as soon as I walked in and took my order. The coffee was strong and flavorful, not too watery. I took my time sipping it while looking around the cafe from my seat. If I visit again, I would love to try their Avocado Toast and another hot cup of coffee here. read more

Came here after a run and got the salmon avocado toast. Good: - The salmon avocado was very pretty! In practice, it fell apart as I ate it though and it was well seasoned at least - The inside is heated which is great on a super cold day and there's a few small tables so about 10 people could fit inside - Food came quickly Bad: - Not too much seating inside - Small portion size but decently expensive - Nothing that blew my mind Overall wouldn't come back but it was okay, not the most memorable experience read more

I got their tropical smoothie and was disappointed. The fruits had no natural sweetness and it just didn't taste like much. The coffee here tastes great tho! I would come back to try their cardamom latte again. Good small space to grab a bite as well. Barry's Marina is across the street so convenient post-workout! read more

So there I was, in dire need of a restroom (you know the feeling). I popped into Twisted St. Cafe, hoping for some kindness, and let me tell you--they DELIVERED. The barista handed me a hotel key card and said, "Yes, of course, please use the restroom." Say what you want, but that little act of generosity? Unmatched. Feeling refreshed and grateful, I decided to stick around and order a drink. Naturally, I went with the barista's recommendation: a Vanilla Lavender Matcha Tea Latte. It had just stopped raining, and this drink was the warm, cozy hug I didn't know I needed. Smooth, fragrant, and perfectly balanced--this latte was everything. Their outdoor seating area was equally impressive. I cozied up by the fire, catching up with my friend while sipping my tea. The vibe? Relaxed, inviting, and oh-so-charming. Big shoutout to the barista and her manager, who were sweet as can be. Whether you're in desperate need of a restroom (hey, no judgment) or just looking for a cozy spot to chill, Twisted St. Cafe has you covered. Highly recommend! read more

We stumbled upon this adorable coffee shop on our way to Sonoma! It was pretty busy at about 2pm on a Saturday. We ordered: + Bagels with bacon, cream cheese + Lattes + Acai bowl The food was delicious. Nothing like a solid, basic bagel. The açaí bowl was packed with ingredients - lots of fruit, granola, and toppings. It's a bit sweeter than I like but my friend really liked it. The lattes were ok - my friend said they saw the barista pour out something premade into the cups and I felt like it tasted like cold brew instead of espresso. The owner was working the register, making food, and making coffee. Despite being pretty busy, she was so friendly and helpful. I'd definitely come back! read more

Really cute vibe in here. It's a cozy, very small shop with limited seating (there's like a nook with pillows to sit). I got the Salmon Avocado toast and it was tasty - a good portion of avocado, with nice and savory everything bagel seasoning, and a thoughtful lemon wedge to top it off. I ordered at the counter and got my toast back pretty quickly. Then I curled up with a book and read here for a while. The bathroom's over at the hotel next door. Overall good vibes for a relaxed Saturday afternoon! read more

This place is right next to my hotel and it's been an absolute gift. The service is friendly and super fast! I actually don't know how they can prepare everything so quickly and have it taste so amazing. From a hot chai at night to a delicious breakfast of fresh croissants, bagel sandwiches and yogurt bowl-- everything has been delicious! I really appreciate the team that's been working here, thank you! I would've had pictures of my food, but I ate it too quickly because it was delicious. read more

Had a long dayyyy exploring San Fran and really needed a pick me up! Searched for cafes near me and this one looked good! Immediately the girl serving us was so nice! She made the experience amazing (I wish I had asked her name) because the coffee itself was MID! The horchata cold brew was calling my name, and my friend decided on the same. My daughter chose a strawberry and banana smoothie. It was overall lackluster, the coffee definitely did not taste like horchata or cold brew..it tasted like watered down coffee with cinnamon. The smoothie also tasted more like ice than strawberry or banana. It was a super cute place though, with indoor and outdoor seating. They have lots of options so maybe different drinks are better. read more

One of my new favorite cafes in the Marina! Discovered this hidden gem earlier this morning and was very impressed. First, upon walking in, I notice that they use Ritual's coffee brand which is well known for its quality! I ordered the Avocado Toast with Smoked Salmon and substituted the hummus for cream cheese instead. This was so delicious and filling, making it a perfect small breakfast bite. I also love how they paired the toast with a fresh lemon wedge. I also tried their Vanilla-Lavender iced latte with oat milk, and it was perfect. I love how they know how to decorate their hot lattes with art! It's so beautiful. Their presentation and aesthetic is stunning. My favorite was the outdoor seating because there's a beautiful fireplace, I think it might be connected to a hotel though? Not sure. Ladies working were very kind and accommodating. I definitely think this is a great cafe to check out! read more
