Nina's Cafe

Solid tiny cafe. I've had the breakfast sandwich (default is on a bagel but I had mine on sliced rye) and the chicken club. Both are solid and cheaper than most things in Hayes Valley but are also less fancy. But it's still a good value proposition and is a good grab and go option.

I had a falafel here, it was decent. Not a bad place to grab a quick lunch. The person working (Nina?) was cool.

This is a friendly little corner place in Hayes Valley. You'll find a very basic selection of breakfast items, sandwiches and coffee. They have a limited selection of rolls, bagels and drinks too. It's not a standout, and there wouldn't necessarily be a striking reason to seek it out. But, it's got a good vibe and it's never a quality let-down.With an office at Hayes and Van Ness this place is close, but also a decent reason to mix it up when you want to be somewhere a little more quiet. It's amazing what two blocks can do in terms of a change of scenery in SF.I've grabbed a few things here during short breaks - it's always been in the mid-Morning. Basic snacks like Croissants, Bagels (I usually go basic buttered/toasted), and rolls are easy enough. I have had their Breakfast Burrito a couple of times. It's, again, nothing special or especially delicious. But, for less than $6 it's a good amount of food if you're hungry. I also had their Veggie Bagel with Cucumber, Tomatoes, Red Onions and Cream Cheese which was solid. They also have lunch sandwiches which I have not tried.Brass-Tacks, a fine little space for what it is. I like a little place with one table and limited traffic. If you're getting something that takes a few minutes, there's also a Walgreens a few doors down. I normally eat what I get while walking back to the office.

we ordered 3 bacon breakfast burritos, a veggie bagel, and a falafel wrap and 4 coffees! It was about $45 and really worth it because everywhere else was probably going to be 3x that price! All of my photos are half eaten because we were so hungry LOL. but it tasted soooo good! One thing to note is that there going to renovate and be closed for a month! Definitely eat here for a quick relatively cheap tasty breakfast! :)

Came for a latte, got a latte. Asked for almond or soy milk and she reluctantly pulled a box from an unrefrigerated cabinet, shook it to make sure it wasn't empty, and agreed to use the milk substitute. Opened containers of soy milk should be refrigerated - I'll let you know how I feel later. She then wayyy over-steamed the soy milk, which I wouldn't mind to a certain extent but this was overkill. It is an almond latte, but for $5 I'd very much appreciate a latte done right. Still up for trying their food and revisiting my review another day

My new favorite place for lunch. Service is quick, ingredients are fresh, and only $7 for a sandwich.

I usually look inside as I pass by, on my way to eat somewhere else. Today I decided to give this corner spot a shot and I'm glad I did because their Pesto Chicken Sandwich is a winner. I wasn't expecting to be asked if I wanted jalapeños on it, but I was and I did and I enjoyed.

Yummy! They were friendly and the bagel sandwich was actually so good! Hit the spot for breakfast!

One of the worst places from food to service. Not only did I give them a second chance but this time I could even get food. From Google, yelp, their website and even a sign says 3pm closing. She stated they were closed through the window. And had already been doing the closing cleaning before I got there right at 2pm. When I kept asking whats going on the only response I got was "the new owner" and when I asked for a contact she just pointed at the door.Please don't waist your time or GOOD money on meh food and horrible service. I hope they get shut down is a city where so many strive to do great

Nina's Cafe delivers to the schools next to them. As a parent from one of the schools that do not have a cafeteria, I am very happy with their variety of food and services offered for a fair price. It is a great value!
