Pebbles Cafe

When it comes to coffee I like to try different varieties of coffee and for me it's my new jam is the mushroom coffee. Pebbles Cafe in Glen Park Village has the magical mushroom coffee boost. The Chagaccino coffee contains cacao, chago, cinnamon , and vanilla. Pebbles is a Brazilian establishment which those who know Brazil is the #1 producer of coffee in the world it produces about 40% of the world's coffee( Vietnam is #2 just to let you know ). The Chagaccino is not too sweet for sure and is more on roasted side which has a traditional coffee flavor. This is also a good place to grab my favorite superfood the Acai bowl. My go to Acai bowl is the Zico it has strawberries , and Acai strawberry blend, blackberries, blueberries, peanut butter and walnuts and I go to town (city) when I have this Acai bowl in front of me. The not too sweet juicy fruits with the savory smooth peanut butter makes this bowl so divine . Each bite is a delight. The Acai bowls here have different variety of flavors are all worth trying and have a strong kick ( most of the Acai bowls are named after soccer players). This is also the place where can get a tuna sandwich under $10 and a tuna melt with cheese for under $10 ( a value in San Francisco). They do have a secret sauce available and made by the owner. They offer a Peruvian hot sauce which is good to put on chicken. This is a great place to grab a Acai bowl , coffee, sandwich , and smoothie. This place is golden and shines like World Cup trophy .Come to Pebbles Cafe for the hard kicking Acai bowlAfter a few bites and sips of the organic mushroom coffee your mind and soul well be saying " Goal"

Cute Brazilian cafe with local flavors right by Glen bart station. Our car was being serviced for the day so we took bsrt to Glen stop and wanted to take a hike around the canyon park so we stopped first for a quick breakfast. A popular spot to grab a coffee and something to eat. They offer some Brazilian options, bagels and acai bowls! Cute and cozy and family run.The bagels honestly were ok - I make sourdough bagels at home so we are a bit spoilt when it comes to bagels taste. But the Brazilian options were nice. Probably try the acai bowls and the empanadas which we missed trying with their homemade sauce.

I think this is the third Brazilian cafe in SF I've been to (with the other two being Cafe de Casa in the Castro and Sunstream Coffee on Geary) and I say bring it on. I really enjoy savory Brazilian baked goods and the ones at Pebbles are totally solid. We got a kibbeh, a beef empanada, and a coxinha and all three were great. Their hot sauce is also quite tasty.

For my Brazilian people in the Bay, this place is BRAZILIAN OWNED and they make their own malagueta house sauce which is actually perfect with their empadas. They even have vegeterian empadas with palmito (heart of palm) and cheese, as well as tomate seco (sundried tomato) and cheese. Don't miss out on their variety of Açaí bowls named after Fútbol's greats like Marta and Neymar.This is a family run business of lovely people who make you feel right at home! The space is cozy, and really close to bart, or perfect for a snack after a hike through the Glen Park Canyon!

A first impression is so important and not just on a blind date. I went on a blind date when I was a confused teenager and still remember how she used a toothpick to clean her teeth. And she wasn't even finished with her Happy Meal. But I digress as I thought this Glen Park business just served coffee and other generic lunch items that any number of coffee spots do all over the city. However, what I wasn't aware of until my third visit was that it's really a Brazilian cafe in disguise.Gee, I didn't think I needed a mural of Carmen Miranda to let me know that, and I was perfectly content with the Low Fat Mocha I've ordered on my previous visits (photo: https://bit.ly/3L7mmv0). The Brazilian part of the menu is hidden under the Featured Items section and more prominently in the wide variety of Brazilian acai bowls they offer. The featured items include dim sum-like items like coxinha (shredded chicken and cheese stuffed in a deep-fried dough) and empadas (chicken and vegetarian pie options).On my latest visit, I actually tried the $3 Pao de Queijo (Cheese Bread) which got me a pair of piping hot balls with gooey cheese inside (photo: https://bit.ly/3rHdowx). I also tried the $8.50 Pebbles Salad, which was a nice plateful of freshness with Mixed greens, cucumber, tomato, bacon, turkey, hard-boiled egg, and avocado slices (photo: https://bit.ly/3OtupnE). It was accompanied by an Italian dressing which it frankly didn't need. It took three visits, but I finally know there's more than coffee served here.FOOD - 4 stars...tasty stuff with a Brazilian accentAMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...honestly looks like a coffee spot to me but at least with tablesSERVICE - 4.5 stars...always friendly and forthcomingTOTAL - 4 stars...coming back for more Brazilian treats as well as the coffeeRELATED - Exploring the Outer Mission?

Pebbles is so amazing! I got a Turkey, avocado, tomato bagel and added plain cream cheese. It's one of the best bagels I've ever had. The cream cheese was cold while the bagel was freshly toasted so the flavors and temperatures of the ingredients contrasted really well. The bagel did feel a little small, but with some coffee or a drink, I think it'd be really filling. I kind of preferred that it's not super gigantic or hard to eat and it's a manageable portion even though I could've eaten a little bit more. Overall, it was really good and the ingredients tasted really fresh. Also, the cashier is so kind and respectful whenever I've talked to them. The service is really fast and speedy and I feel like the price point is comparable to other bagel places, and a lot cheaper than ordering a bagel online through door dash or Grubhub. Definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area.

COVID-19 TAKEOUTSome people get their panties wet with the new new, the hot and new, instagrammable walls, opulent chandeliers, aesthetics, and/or hype.*RAISES HAND*So, we may ignore/overlook local businesses without the photogenic plates and drinks, and aesthetic goals. I'm guilty of this. I live nearby and for years, I've passed by Pebbles Cafe but never stepped foot inside because I thought it was your run-of-the-mill, neighborhood cafe. I had no clue they serve Brazilian Salgadinhos until I recently saw them listed on a 3rd party delivery app.After my nearby appointment, I popped into Pebbles Cafe to grab some Brazilian Salgadinhos. They're offering takeout, delivery, and dine-in (several small tables). No outdoor seating.M E N U* Brazilian Salgadinhos (kept in warmer): Coxinha, Kibe, Empada, and Pão de Queijo* Açaí bowls* Bagels* American breakfast and lunch sandwiches* Salads* Smoothies* Coffee & TeaB R A Z I L I A N S A L G A D I N H O S***Items listed from fav to least fav* Coxinha: Brazilian Chicken Croquette ($4)Best item of the four! The coxinha was still warm by the time I got home and settled in. The fried dough was crunchy and generously filled with a creamy, savory chicken filling. Delicious and satisfying. GET THIS!* Chicken Empada ($4)Baked Brazilian "empanada" with a similar filling to the Coxinha but with the addition of corn and olives. Pair it with a small salad at home, and you have yourself a meal. If you're extra hangry, two empadas should do. Beef empada also available. * Pão de Queijo: Brazilian Cheese Bread (2 pc - $2.50)While they were still warm, I ate one in the car before driving home. Hard and sturdy crust with a mochi-like chewy center. Good salty cheese flavor but denser than my preference. Available by pairs only.* Kibe: Brazilian Beef Croquette ($4)Got the last one in the warmer so I was happy about that until I tasted it. I think it had been sitting in the warmer for awhile, as the bulgur exterior was hard and ground beef filling was dry. I'm sure if I came before noon, it would have been fresher.Make sure to ask for hot sauce for dipping!S E R V I C EThe guy who helped me wasn't the friendliest but hey, it was a Monday.I'm kicking myself for sleeping on Pebbles Cafe all these years. It's a nice gem in the neighborhood that's worth the pit stop for Brazilian Salgadinhos!

Ok.. Quick walk in Glen Park to raise the low blood sugar. Stopped in somewhere new because I saw they had some pre-made little pastry type dishes.OMG...ordered the Beef & spices little savory treat (Keeby) .... EXCELLENT!Sandwich..I'd pass on the future....stick with bagel or beef pastry nice place to grab a late breakfast or lunch. Thank you for the great service.In appreciation,Sharine

Quaint small family run business with delicious Brazilian offerings. They also do delicious smoothies that help you recover from the hot sauce. The hot sauce is amazing btw.
