Barista Coffee & Brunch

No complaints at all coming here. The staff was friendly and it certainly seems like an immigrant-ran business. I was able to score outdoor seating after ordering a coffee and waiting for some friends to join. The weather was perfect on an early October day around lunch time. It also was shaded which kept us out of the sun. They ordered food and said it was fire!

Finally tried this neighborhood cafe and was disappointed. I am a bit of a coffee snob and their cold brew was not good. I would not get it again. It was almost grainy and too strong without some flavor profiles to balance it out. However, the atmosphere was good. I imagine this being a great spot to work remote for an hour or two. I appreciate this since there's not a ton of options in the area suitable for working. I did not try the food. The pastries looked decent. I will report back if I try something from their menu. 1.5 stars for their coffee 3.5 stars for vibes

Went on Sunday at 10am and had my choice of tables. By 11am there was a line to order. The menu offers 2 kinds of avocado toast so we ordered both versions. Bonus point for the bread actually toasted. Very rare for some reason. My toast was topped with mashed avocado, cherry tomatoes & hard boiled egg halves. The chili flakes enhanced rather than detracted from the avocado flavor. I was confused by the photo of the other avocado toast on the menu. The woman at the counter said what I thought was poached eggs was mozzarella. It didn't arrive with mozzarella. I think there was a language barrier going on. The tiny printing on the overhead menu board was hard to read, & I wear glasses. I asked the guy next to me if I could photograph his sandwich which looked delicious & crazy big. Turns out he's a local & filled me in on the cafe's history, raving about how welcomes they are to the hood, especially since they replaced a dive. Barista also owns the falafel place down the street. My new acquaintance even called over Mustapha, busy behind the counter, who told me they opened last year around Thanksgiving. It gets better. Kubi, the owner, offered us dessert. OMG, 10 stars for the Go Bananas Crepe, filled with equal amount banana & Nutella. The interior is inviting, filled up with what looked like local families & friends. Destination worthy. I'm coming back for sure.Support Local!

Didn't get a picture because I ate it way too fast, but the breakfast sandwich at Barista Cafe & Brunch breathed life into me last weekend. The textures, flavors, and ingredients were all top notch. And the latter I had was also delicious. I always ask for latte's to be extra hot, and my latte was steamed to piping hot perfection. The staff were all really friendly, and checked in with us multiple times making sure that we were enjoying everything (we were). The decor and ambiance was also lovely. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in SF!

Absolutely stop here when you are in San Francisco. The crepes are the most amazing and creative dishes. Of course we got sourdough avocado toast which was met with distinct flavors and topped with seasoning and oil to die for. The yogurt was a perfect balance of crunch and sweet. It is a small area to get a table but you can sit o ur side or just wait a few minutes and a table will open up.

This review is strictly for the coffee as I didn't try the food. After seeing the high reviews I gave this place a try to fill my caffeine fix. Boy was I disappointed. The flat white I had was not good. The coffee had a burnt taste and was really hard to finish. Price is also high given the quality. Better off getting something at Starbucks and I never drink Starbucks unless I'm at the airport or in another country.

Visiting our sons' new apartment and decided to get brunch here. They had a variety of choices but we decided to go with some turkey sandwiches and a crepe. The sandwiches had the usual fixings along with pickled jalapeños, which added a kick to the overall flavor of the sandwiches. We also had an egg and cheese crepe and it was actually quite tasty. We had a matcha latte, iced latte, and a vanilla latte and we all got the caffeine rush we were looking for. We went around 10 and although it was quite busy, we were still able to get a table.

I went here because it was probably the only place in the vicinity of where I was but I had a surprisingly good experience. First, I had a cappuccino. It wasn't the fancy cappuccinos or many coffee shops with latter art etc, but it was a good and tasty cappuccino. I also had an avocado egg sandwich and I fell in love with avocado toast (which I might have had once before). If I was in the area, I sure would stop again.

The place has the worst food you can imagine. The guy gave me a cold sandwich even after I asked for it to be warmed up. The worker he doesn't know how to treat customers. I don't understand how they run this place without knowing basic customer service skills. I was looking forward to trying this place but after this experience I wished I could take my tip back.

Amazing service in a warm welcoming environment! I love their iced almond milk latte.
