Kevin SpencerMay 10, 2015The BLTA was great but the salad that came with was sad. It was clearly very old lettuce and my friends had a hair in it
Ali RamzanaliMay 28, 2013They may not speak Starbucks on their cup sizes, but their cappuccino foam says otherwise. X(
Damien ChabaudJuly 31, 2010cool place, best choice of breakfast/lunch for cheap and excellent coffee !!!!
HaighterationNovember 21, 2010Wildly inconsistent wait times for food, but the chef salad and reuben sandwiches are great. -Josh K.
- Sebastian RobertsJuly 25, 2015Not actually dog friendly. Despite the outdoor patio, I was instructed to park my dog outside the wall. Still a decent place with good food. Just not as dog friendly as others have claimed.
Joel CorpusApril 1, 2012One of my favorite breakfast spots in SF! Must try's are the Croissant French Toast, Grind Omelet and the Chicken Apple Sausage. Smoothies are great as well if you want to splurge.
- Phil ChackoMarch 19, 2017I've had the oatmeal and French toast. Both mediocre. Slow service, no wifi on weekends.
I love the staff. if you tell 'em Ophelia sent you, they will treat you like family.
Byrne ReeseNovember 13, 2009order the peanut butter-banana "health shake" an item no longer on the menu, but should be!
Ugur KanerFebruary 2, 2015Good breakfast and lunch options. Try chicken breast sandwich on wheat. Ok coffee. Free wifi (got sluggish after noon tho). Couple outlets. Ok place to work.
John SpeckJuly 13, 2013You can often place drink orders before your food order and drink them while in line. Water is self-serve and is in the back of the place in a drink tank.
- Linda DongJune 29, 2012Horrible wait times, I've been here for over 30min waiting on a sandwich. Not the first this has happened.
The Oriental Chicken Salad is pretty decent, wish it had a bit more shredded chicken tho. Not too heavily dressed!
Love this place. Free wifi! Great breakfast burritos, scrambles, burgers and salads! Lovely, friendly staff that makes great coffee, too :)
try their Greek salad with grilled chicken strips.
ViolinMonsterJanuary 26, 2012The smoked salmon cream cheese is delicious! Remember to tip the baristas. They're hella nice and they deserve it.
