The oat-milk cappuccino was surprisingly good — smooth and comforting. The chocolate and pistachio croissant was absolutely delicious, flaky on the outside and wonderfully rich inside. ❤️

Our favorite way to start our day when visiting San Francisco. The food is great and the staff is very friendly. Even though we are all the way in Wisconsin, we talk about this little cafe often.

I've been on a non-alcoholic journey as I am three years sober, and discovering new NA drinks has been a crucial part of that journey. My wife and I finally got out to visit this spot, as the only true non-alc bar in the whole Bay Area. Well worth the trip. Joshua was super pleasant and guided us through an awesome flight of NA beers and a few mocktail samples (try the Golden Spirit, it rules). We shared our stories of sobriety with each other and a few of the bar patrons who popped in for a drink. Spaces like this are so critical for both people like me who have stopped drinking, and to drinkers who are starting to learn about the healthier ways to have a social drink. My wife and I went home with a box full of bottles and cans, and we cannot wait to go back. (also, dinner at the Laundromat was super clutch, thank you for the recommendation Joshua!)

TL;DR Where presentation is of higher quality than the Food FULL REVIEW This place had such a high rating that it was kind of surprising that it was so mediocre. San Francisco is not a food desert, but maybe this part of town is. We got both the regular and the lavender lemonade. The regular lemonade tastes straight out of a can of Country Time. The lavender lemonade definitely tasted like lavender, so if you like that kind of thing, it's excellent. The avocado toast lives on presentation. I thought I was about to experience Nirvana, but instead was greeted by hollow taste. The bread was nice and the avocado was fresh, but it was boring. The turkey sandwich looked pretty normal. The bread was fine, and the red sauce they put on it gave it some flavor. I added avocado, and had I not, this sandwich would have only been slightly better than the avocado toast. The only Epic part of the Epic Breakfast Sandwich was the Everything bagel, which was the highlight of my dining experience, but the eggs were boring as everything else was. Nothing was bad, but nothing was exciting either. This perfectly sums up this place. At best, the presentation was really good, but that's all that it had going for it. Essentially, the presentation is of higher quality than the food.

Amazing NA bar! So many options and both I had were delicious. First pic is the “Destroyer of bad vibes” and second is the “Good buzz Daisy.” I also got the vegan avocado wrap and it was awesome. Super chill vibe one block from the beach and if you want a tasty mixed drink but don’t drink alcohol, this place is crucial. Will def be back next time I’m in town.
