Atlas Cafe

I've never been a fan of tuna sandwiches for some reason, despite being a seafood lover. But this morning I woke up determined to find a tuna sandwich out here in SF that I might like, something more refined than what mom used to make at home (kind of bland, blah). My husband suggested that I might like warm toasty tuna melts rather than yesteryear's sad, cold, cheeseless tuna sammies, so I jumped on Uber Eats to find one that sounded like it could be a cut above the usual.Actually, what got me to look up Atlas was that someone recommended them on a thread in the AskSF subreddit. When I saw some unique ingredients in their tuna melt (like currant and citrus mayo) and that I could add Emmenthaler cheese for even more melty goodness and fanciness, I felt this was the one to try. Got it delivered.Love at first bite! I bet it would be even tastier next time with kalamata olives for more mediterranean flair and a little more acid. The sandwich also looked extra tasty since it was lightly panini-pressed looking, giving it a satisfying, buttery crunch and a light sourdough tang.Later I tried a totally different tuna melt from a different restaurant. It was out of balance -- WAY too much pickle and WAY too much mustard, and no complexity. Atlas's interpretation was far better - complex and refined but harmonious. Not words you usually think of when you think of tuna melts.If you're a tuna melt person, you might find this one to be next level. Give it a try at Atlas! I can't wait to get it again and experiment with more interesting toppings.

I found this cafe in the neighborhood block of the Mission District. Parking was okay to find around here. There are plenty of free spots to look around. The Atlas Cafe is so adorable and they have a small variety of pastries to try.There are several outlets against the wall. You can choose to sit indoors or outdoors (although, there won't be any outlets outdoors). It can be quite packed for a Friday afternoon. I like how they open until 6 PM and they play a lot of cool songs in Spanish.The fresh orange juice was sour and sweet just how I liked it. It was very enjoyable and they have free Wi-Fi you can use. I think the sanitation of the place could have done better.

There are a lot of excellent cafes in the Mission, and I think Atlas has earned it's spot towards the top of the list. The indoor seating and outdoor courtyards are excellent spots to work remotely for a bit. I also think there steamed eggs option for bagels or breakfast sandwiches is unique and delicious! Only removing two stars because I have stopped in a few times to find that their egg steamer was broken, and another time when I came across a few pieces of eggshells in my sandwich... Tough to avoid when the eggs are fresh and not from a carton, but unfortunately also not super ideal... I also wish it was not $3.75 to add avocado... I know SF has it's upcharges, but at what it would cost to buy two whole avocados at the market, that seemed a little excessive... Regardless, one of the cutest cafe ambiances in the neighborhood, and will certainly be back soon.

Pretty good spot to get some work done! Came during a weekday afternoon and saw lots of people working. The food/drink menu is simple but big, and there's lots of seating which is nice.

Ordered a cappuccino, and the foam was really smooth and nice. The espresso had a mild flavor with slight acidity. The service was a little longer than expected, but that's because I think it is more of a sit-down place rather than a coffee bar where the bulk of the business is to-go. The ambiance is a comfortable environment to have breakfast or lunch.

Write it down. Their Beet salad is the one!I like this place. It's cozy, cute, spacious, well-lit and has a beautiful back patio. The kitchen staff are my peoples, mi gente Maya indígena so I feel right at home. Love working out of here when I feel trapped in the office. A nice quick escape & a delicious bite, good coffee and nice people.

I came here to work, and got a vanilla latte and chocolate croissant. They had QR code menus and it was super nice. It's a great place to work. There's outlets, wifi, and the cafe isn't super loud.

A coffee with almond milk is 7 dollars, and the woman ringing me up was rude. I was very underwhelmed for such a cute little neighborhood place.

Lovely spot to hang out, work, and catch up with friends! I can tell why it's been a local favorite for a while. It is in the heart of a great block of restaurants in the Mission, and has a complete menu of breakfast bites, sandwiches, and typical coffee/tea selection. There's plenty of seating, wifi, outlets, and a back patio. Lemon scone was a big hit - texture was a great balance of soft and crumble + lemon was strong! Def a great sweet treat - the cashier was on point with the recommendation!

Cute little corner spot with patio seats. Nice spot to read a book with a glass of sangria in the afternoon/PM or coffee in the AM. Two gender neutral restrooms. Lovely staff.
