Fueling Station

They were great with kids, they offered our baby girl a couple of fruits, and they were very helpful and fast with the food. The place was great.

My husband and I were in the area and wanted to stop for a quick snack. The Fueling Station popped up on Yelp and so we made the walk over. The menu isn't super extensive which was great for those of us who want to narrow down their options quickly. I opted for their banana and nutella toast and it was good. They had plentiful of outdoor seating available which made this a great pitstop for us.

Innocent enough name, right? But let me tell you, what's happening inside these walls isn't your average cafe situation. I walked in there, not knowing what I was getting myself into. The first thing that caught my eye was this so-called quiche Lorraine. Now, I've had quiche before, but this? This was different. The way that crust shattered when my fork hit it... like the petals of a rose flaking away. And inside - man, inside was this perfectly executed conspiracy of eggs, bacon, and Swiss cheese that would make a French chef weep.But that's not even the wild part.See, they had this banh mi. Vietnamese meets French in this underground fusion operation that shouldn't work, but somehow does. The crunch of that bread? Like footsteps in an empty alley. The pickled vegetables and herbs working together like some kind of covert taste operation. With a jalapeño that just comes out of nowhere to whip you back to reality.The real kicker was the cold brew. I'm telling you, what they're doing with that coffee... it shouldn't be legal. One sip and I could hear colors. The caffeine content in that thing? Let's just say if the FDA knew what was really going on in there...maybe don't have the cold brew after 3 PM unless you're planning to rewrite the entirety of War and Peace in one sitting.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Saturday, 9:15 amI found Fueling Station on my quest for the perfect San Francisco Avocado Toast. Good choice. I love how you can choose between The Works, Veggie, or All Aboard. Of course I chose the All Aboard combining avocado, bacon, poached egg, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes & onions. The egg was perfectly prepared, tomatoes not those refrigerated beef steak abominations. Everything tasted fresh, the raw onions added a little zing, cucumbers brought a satisfying crunch. Here's where I get crabby. I specifically asked for the toast to be toasted. They need to adjust the settings on their toaster, lowest setting barely grazed the surface. That made the bread easy to cut (yay), but difficult to eat with hands. I know, personal preference, but here's the deal. I always request toasted & 90% of the time cafes seem to have the same faulty toaster. The whole wheat (?) bread was not my favorite. I'd prefer a neutral sourdough or whatever slice. My English Breakfast tea with steamed milk hit the spot, giant tea bag took up 1/3 the cup. By 10am there was a line out the door, except for me everyone seemed to be locals, chatting with the friendly staff. Line moved well as four staff behind the counter. Bring your dogs, park the baby carriage. Interior space has plenty of eclectic furniture. Back room includes a love seat & additional seating. That's where you'll find the laptop campers & their empty coffee cups. Glad they're hidden away. There's also a couple communal tables, high table with rattan chairs, Three more tables inside the door, four outdoor cafe tables.I forgot to check in before paying & get 10% off the bill.No matter, I'll definitely be back.

I was looking for a quick breakfast on Polk on a weekday.There were rave reviews about this avocado toast with bacon and an egg. People were commenting on the bread, which I thought was underwhelming. The egg was cooked to perfection though and there was plenty of avocado.Bathrooms were clean. Staff was a little curt.

I'd say this is Banh mi inspired but not a banh mi.Their meat had some similar flavors but I wouldn't say that this is what it should taste like. Flavor was a bit too sweet on the pickled veg. Their cucumber was really juicy? It was a weird mix.At their price, I wouldn't go again. Maybe try to look for a place with more value. What I liked about this place is that it seemed like a fantastic place to work and study. It had ample space and outlets for one to spread out your work stuff. Gentle music too.

Tried this cafe because it's nearby our hotel in SF. The food was good but the portion was quite small and for the price, I think it's quite pricey. The seatings inside were nice. Their restroom was a bit clogged. There was water all over the floor and I hope they fix it soon because it's pretty serious. One of the servers was very nice. He gave us a lot of butter when requested.

Amazing cute place, the food is so good and such good prices, their matcha is so yummy and the service is great! I got the bhai mi sandwich and it was perfect so i ordered another! Definitely check this place out.

Great pork bahmi, tasty. Very relaxing space, and the owners are lovely to talk with.
