AOOctober 5, 2012A little piece of Paris in the heart of San Francisco, next to the Chinatown Gate; go figure.
Ed SteinwenderMay 27, 2012Onion soup is yummy...shrimp cocktail good. The shrimp were tiny but the sauce was yummy
A bit of Paris Enjoy a pastis while reading a foreign magazine or paper Or come for cassoulet day
Catherine B.September 4, 2011One of my favorite downtown brunch spots and a great International magazine selection.
Leila ReisSeptember 30, 2011Food is amazing! And theres more: my choosen dish wasnt so deli they took off from check. Awsome!
Thomas WNovember 8, 2010The croque madame is quite good. But when you see employees get Starbucks coffee from across the street, you know about the cafe au lait :-)
- The Croque Madame and Monsieurs are good for a quick bite.
Rodrigo ArtaviaNovember 30, 2014Food is good, but skip the meal and go to desserts. Try the opera cake...
Rua DelalunJune 9, 2019This is the WORST cafe ever, they should close this cafe and put who makes the coffees in jail! Coffee is disgusting, creme brulee isn’t served right and they don’t deserve to earn money!!!
DJ CapobiancoJune 10, 2017Adorable, but authentic French service (which is to say, really really bad service)
Jole PDecember 29, 2017The food is decent but prices are touristy.... Defs better finds in the city for a cafe
Nathan KamMarch 4, 2011The croissants are amazing. Almond one comes with cream inside. Get a plain one if you prefer.
