    Iced coffee is Sightglass, and is always delicious. Iced tea is always crystal clear and fresh. Hot chicken sandwich is super. So is the gluten-free peanut butter whoopie cookie. Awesome staff.

    They take the whole restrooms for customers olny thing a little to seriously. They make u order before u can put ur name on a sign up sheet just to have ur name called by some unlucky bathroom monitor

    Got the standard - bacon,scrambled eggs and cheese on an english muffin. Simple, no surprises, hits the spot when you need a filling breakfast

    The people are nice. Ordered a smoothie in the morning, realized I didn't have my wallet, so canceled the order. Even though they hadn't started making it yet, they made it anyway. #neighborhood

    I really like this place, the coffee is very good and so is the food. Nice staff and a lot of people passing by. Close to the beautiful Dolres Park. Granola was good.

    Drip coffee is the worst in the city. Stick with yogurt & fruit bowl in the morning and the turkey, avo, bacon, Swiss in the noon.

    So many places around here have huge Qs so this is a good option if you aren't willing to wait in line. The French toast is very good

    The breakfast burrito is amazing but huge for one person. Get the Dolores Egg Sandwich with arugula and prosciutto instead.

    When ordering the fresh mozzarella sandwich, ask for extra salt and pepper. They under-season this sandwich but proper seasoning is essential to let this simple beauty shine.

    This place isn't terrible but nothing special either. The coffee is watered down (nooo!) but I like the alfajores. Lots of gluten free options if that's a concern, but otherwise better stuff nearby.
