Caffe Centro

So happy this place re-opened! Always walked past it on my way to work when it was open and when it closed for a few months. Glad to be in on this little community coffee place. The workers are friendly and I can tell they really connect with their customers. The cafe itself is so cute and aesthetically pleasing to be in. It's such a relaxing environment in a busy city.

I heard this South Park anchor cafe has closed for good. Rushed over and found a sad, but hopeful note on the door. They're trying to figure out how to reopen. Maybe a cooperative? This is a locally owned, one of a kind purveyor of caffeine products, sandwiches, etc., much more beloved than any chain. Guess I'll have to stand by for word of their resurrection.

It's back! I'm thrilled this coffee shop has reopened. I had a matcha latte which was good except for the clumps of matcha that didn't get properly mixed, but I'm sure they'll sort it out. Looking forward to sipping coffee and tea in the park again.

There are many positive words to describe "Caffe Centro". A few that come to mind are 'quaint', 'relaxing', 'therapeutic'. You can kind of get the picture of where we're going here. And this is on a journey to a little hidden gem in the South Beach area of San Francisco. Conveniently located next to South Park Playground and close to Bryant and 3rd St's, this little place has been serving up big things inside dating back to 2005. To those of you that remember, much of South Beach went through a major revitalization from the early-2000's to late-2010's. And there is still a ton of work and construction being done on a daily basis.Since I was in need of a coffee fix, I came here during the morning of Saturday 4/1/2023 at around 11:20am. Parking (at least on a Saturday) wasn't all that bad but I can imagine is tougher to find during the workweek. The exterior of the building has a light canary yellow color complete with the business name on the awning and several tables/chairs for outdoor seating. The inside of the building offers generous seating, a display case that showcases compact lunches to go, and drinks that include bottled water, sodas, teas, Kombucha, and beer.They do offer a nice offering of sandwiches, salads, bagels, and of course, coffee/espresso drinks. During my visit, I ended up ordering a "DIY Bagel" which included sesame seeds on the bagel complete with cream cheese, alfalfa sprouts, and cucumbers. To drink, I enjoyed a "Blended Mocha" (which was more or less similar to a Frappuccino drink). My +1 went with their "Breakfast Wrap" that included potatoes, eggs, and onions with an "Iced Vanilla Latte". Our drinks were done in just a few minutes while our food came out only a few minutes later.I will say that with the skyrocketing food prices everywhere you go, the prices here were fairly decent as I was able to get filled up on my bagel and drink for around $12 (including tax). The bagel itself was toasted perfectly and as you can see in the photo I took, they did not skimp on the food. I even tried some of the breakfast wrap and man, this thing is loaded with food; enough to fill you up for awhile.Overall, "Caffe Centro" was an above average and enjoyable experience if you're looking for a quieter spot to read, study, or do work on your laptop. They have generous hours of operating being opened Monday through Saturday from 8am-3pm and closed on Sunday. They offer a decent Wi-Fi speed and location-wise, this place is within walking distance to Oracle Park, nearby shopping, and public transportation. With that said and done, I am giving Caffe Centro a 4-star rating.

Super good baked pastries. The black tea is very refreshing as well. Would come again

Just popped in for a quick cappuccino on a cold wet day. The service was quick and friendly and the cappuccino was delicious. Highly recommend.

So happy this neighborhood gem has reopened! Finally had a chance to stop by this morning and the food is great and the service is even better! Will be back very soon.

I had the lunch special - grilled mushrooms on focaccia bread - SO delicious! Friendly place by the park and close to my office, with lots of windows that can be opened for ventilation.

So happy this place reopened. Great place for coffee Sando and more. Beautiful location right in southpark!

I love this cute spot vibes are cozy! The drinks are super good and reasonably priced. I have ordered caprese sandwich which was so delicious. The bread was warm and soft I'm not sure if the make it there. They also have little cookies and natural protein bars by the register which are super delicious . The pecan one is my fave. The service is pretty fast and the guys working there are friendly. Definitely one of my top spots now
