Found this Italian coffee shop in SF's North Beach that's been here since 1956. Not sure if now is still owned and run by Italian. The coffee is mediocre tbh. But I like the atmosphere there. Walked in and saw elderly locals gathered around the same tables. Lovely. The orange pendant lights, the vintage menu on the wall, the worn but beautiful.

Look no further! You’ve found the best espresso in town. Vibes can’t be beat. Don’t even get me started on the cannolis, couldn’t get enough of these! I talk about them all the time. Loved everything about this place.

This grill restaurant was an excellent experience. The food was very tasty, fresh, and cooked to perfection. The attention and service were warm and pleasant, making the whole visit even more enjoyable. A great place to enjoy delicious grilled food — highly recommended!

So glad we decided to stop here after dinner in the North Beach. All the reviews led us here and they were spot on. This is an icon in SF. We read that it’s been here for a long time and the original owner was a city celebrity. Walking in the shop we saw all the pics on the walls of the history, along with big time celebrities that have stopped here. I just wanted some tiramisu and my wife wanted a coffee. Too late in the night for coffee ☕️ for me. Loved the decor inside and the warm feeling it gives. She absolutely loves the personal touch and taste in her coffee!

Came here because of its reputation, and I’m glad I did. Caffe Trieste has a timeless charm—warm, slightly nostalgic, and full of character. The atmosphere invites you to slow down and enjoy your coffee, surrounded by photos and history. The espresso was rich and bold, just how it should be. Just a heads-up: it’s cash only, so come prepared! A lovely stop for anyone who appreciates old-school coffee culture.
