    Lox Bagel with Cream Cheese
    Jolina S.

    The Asiago Bagel was crunchy, the tomatoes and onions were crunchy, however I found the Lox dry . The guy was really nice and busy. He was able to give a friendly service. The place was clean and well maintained. The place was very simple and typical of a place near the beach. I will try to next time. other sandwiches

    Beast mode.

    Hot roast beef, soft sourdough and the best pesto, not too powerful. Delicious treat

    Service is not only homey, reminded me of the bodegas back in NYC, but the sandwiches AMAZING, the açaí bowls REFRESHING, and lastly the dubai chocolate strawberries cup DELISH, I drove all the way from sacramento for this pregnancy craving and they served fr ! they also had a restroom which is such a plus even being busy it seemed organized and overall a great establishment

    Summer 2025: Dubai chocolate strawberry cup was hella good. Not too sweet and had lots of strawberries. Great to share between 2 people. Might be too much for 1. Placed an order for pickup on their website so mine didn't look as pretty as people that ordered there. Others looked like they got more strawberries, mine looked like it had more kataife. Still totally worth the $20 after tax. I'll be back!

    This has been the lifeguards go to sandwich spot by the beach for years. Our most ordered sando is the Golden Gate and it's delicious. They stack it up big time- this usually last me one half for lunch and one half for dinner. Owners are awesome and from NY so they bring the true east coast deli vibe to the west coast. Thanks for all the great lunches over the years

    Small cafe in Sunset area of SF. Barely any seating and seems like people just takeout from here. Classic sandwich spot in SF with açaí and Dubai chocolate strawberries. Dubai chocolate cup was over $20 after tax and tip! Big and delicious but a bit pricey. Pistachio could have been stronger. Would come again if I were in the area!

    This place is unclean, and the tables are filthy, including the kitchen. Regarding the desserts they serve, cleanliness also indicates how hygienic the staff are. Since I'm eating their food, I'm trying not to dwell on the employees' hygiene practices. It's unfortunate. Additionally, the desserts are quite expensive.

    DUBAI CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY CUP - 4.5/5
    Michael C.

    I'd been here years ago... and had nothing but good things to say. That hasn't changed. Looks like they pivoted their business a bit and are capitalizing on the viral Dubai Chocolate Trend. Kudos to them! #ViralTrends: ~ DUBAI CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY CUP - 4.5/5 They use melted Belgium Chocolate... the big difference maker! Commonly regarded as the best Chocolate in the world... which explains the rich, creamy and chocolatey, yet not too sweet profile. It's a bit on the pricey side at slightly over $20 after tax, but well worth it. I wouldn't finish it myself, you are most definitely asking for an immense Blood Sugar spike. It's large enough to finish half in one sitting and enjoy the other half later. Packed with Strawberries, Kunafa and good amount of melted Chocolate. Don't get it to go, you'll feel short changed. Order it to enjoy on the spot and then ask for a lid. The presentation is even better as well. If this had more of a Pistacho taste it would be a full 5 ***** for me!

    When anything on social media blows up, you always gotta wonder if its a hit or miss. Welcome Dubai chocolate. I'm not a baker so I wasn't gona make my own. I'm also not a hardcore "foodie" so I'm not going to put tooooo much effort and search for this item. But one day, after eating a full container of shabu meat for lunch, I needed something sweet to offset all that meat. Low and behold, I see Dubai chocolate cups at Yonkers. Sweet. I drive over and to my luck, no wait. Dubai Chocolate cups - the chocolate was rich and milky. The filling was silky but I didn't really taste the pistachio. The crispy knafeh was crispin alright. And the strawberries fresh. I googled the price of a bar of Dubai chocolate and holy smokes! I'm glad i just had to pay a portion for a taste of it here. Overall, would I pay $18 again for this treat, probably not.

    Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup | $18 (pre-order online to skip the line/wait)

    4.5 STARS I know some may be sick and tired of hearing about Dubai chocolate. The trend is getting out of pocket to the point there's even Dubai chocolate perfume. Great way to attract chocolate addicts and big backs! As someone that usually doesn't care for chocolate, I've been weirdly obsessed with Dubai chocolate since it went viral last year. I've had some awful Dubai chocolate and Dubai chocolate inspired desserts where some businesses are only trying to monetize off this viral trend BUT... Yonkers Cafe's Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup ($18)? Loved it. It's currently on my Top 2 fav, after Hanna's Dubai Chocolate Bar (Pleasanton). Large perfectly ripen, juicy sweet strawberries smothered in sweet but not too sweet melted Belgium chocolate and thick, creamy pistachio cream with deliciously crunchy kataifi (toasted shredded phyllo dough). So deliciously satisfying. We shared a cup and contemplated getting another one. Yes, $18 ($23 after tax+tip) is kinda ridic for a cup of strawberries (it was $15 last month) but compared to ONE (yes "one") Elly Amai's Strawberry at Erewhon for $19, this is a steal and you're supporting a small local business. But.... We visited on a weekday and they weren't too busy yet our cup was missing the crushed pistachios and strawberry crown so I can't give 5 stars. Hope they work on serving customers a consistent product. P.S. - Order ahead via Yonkers Cafe's website to skip the line and long wait on the weekends!

    Came here around 4:30pm on a Saturday and there was no line! We ordered the strawberries with Dubai chocolate for $18 (not including tip and tax) and it was tasty. It had crunchy bits on it too that added a nice texture. This was my second time trying Dubai chocolate and I wish it was more pistachio-y but maybe that's not how it's supposed to be? I definitely recommend sharing as it's very rich. My 2 friends and I shared one cup and were very satisfied afterwards.

    My boyfriend and I found out about Yonkers Cafe on TikTok since he was craving Dubai Chocolate. One thing we liked about it was the kataifi because it provided a satisfying crunch with every bite. One thing we think that could be improved were the strawberry since the pieces were too big and cutting it in half would be better. Other than that, I do recommend getting the Dubai Chocolate from here. Service was pretty fast, I believe it only took about 5 minutes to get my order and utensils/extra cup were available off to the side.

    Came here for the Dubai chocolate strawberry cup, so delicious and great portions! Cant wait to come back!

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.
