The Art Bistro

This charming little café is tucked away in the corner, making it easy to spot. Parking can be a bit challenging, but I usually double-park and keep an eye on my car after I place my order. The interior is quite small, with space for only 2-3 people at a time. They used to have a few small tables for seating, but those are not unavailable after COVID. The woman behind the counter, who appears to be the owner, is always there with a warm smile, joyfully greeting every customer. She's incredibly welcoming and sweet. My go-to order is the BLTA on a croissant paired with an iced vanilla latte, it never disappoints!

Such a gem of a coffe shop in the city! The best price you can get for a bagel sandwich in SF. Not to mention they give 3 pieces of bacon, delicious cheese they added some special seasoning to, and the bagel is soft and flatter than most bagel, not too thick. It's a perfect bagel imo. A very cute little corner store with the cutest, sweetest lady running the shop. Discovered this place two weeks ago and have been twice already!

Delicious breakfast sandwiches for a price you can't beat in the city! We stopped by Art Bistro for our first meal of the day. Unfortunately they did not have eggs because of the shortage. They customized our breakfast sandwiches with other ingredients to compensate. Only forms of payment accepted is cash and Venmo. The ladies were so friendly and sweet. I love the small business energy. There's not much seating, so we walked to the park up the hill to enjoy our food. I just wish I lived closer to this place!

I've been here quite a few times but it's finally time I wrote a review. This small hole in the wall shop at the corner of the street is a perfect location for a quick bite and some coffee or even Thai ice tea with boba! Every time I come here, it seems like a lot of locals visit this spot because they're always chatting with the workers. The lady there is the sweetest lady ever. She's so welcoming and friendly. I don't come as often as I'm sure others do but every time I do, her energy is the exact same - super contagious. Their prices have not changed (or if they did, not by much) since I came almost about a year ago. I've only tried their bagels here so I can't speak for their other items but that's because their bagels always hit the spot. They're bigger than most coffee shops that serves bagels + they allow you to include mayo, ketchup, and hot sauce! How awesome is that? They also use a generous amount of cheese, just look at how melty the cheese is on my bagel. I've tried their Thai tea once since they advertise it as the best in the world. I wouldn't go as far as to say best but it's a decent Thai ice tea. And where else can you get a large Thai ice tea for $3.50? You can get a big bagel and a large Thai ice tea for under $10! Right outside, they have a little small stand for food donations and for anyone to take if they need it. It's such a sweet gesture and it's awesome seeing people in the community contribute to it. Definitely stop by and support this spot if you're in the area and looking for a quick bite. The lady is the sweetest and you can tell she loves doing what she does. She even go as far to come around the counter and bring out your order!

When I saw the prices on their menu, I thought it was too good to be true. Nowadays, it's so rare to find a lox bagel under $14. I got the asiago bagel with lox, and was very happy with my order! The asiago bagel had a nice chew, and the cream cheese and lox added a good tangy and salty flavor to the overall sandwich. I would 100% come back!

Little hole in the wall coffee shop with awesome breakfast sandwiches. I got the bacon egg and cheese on croissant and the croissant was flaky and soft. My husband got the everything bagel which was delicious.Very limited seating only about one table outside but we sat there and they served us which was super sweet considering how busy they were.Cash only but they do take Venmo!

My go to spot for morning breakfast sammy near Lands End/Bakers Beach. The sammy is only $5 and the ladies are so sweet. Kindness exudes from this spot, as demonstrated by the basket of goods for those in need.

A neighbor recommended this place once but I didn't go. Then the Chron listed it as having a top Breakfast sandwich so that tipped the scale. "Hidden gem" might be an overused phrase but you could walk past the Art Bistro and not give it a second thought. I have, many times. But today the Marina Deli & Liquor thwarted my breakfast sando mission by shutting that part of its menu down at noon, and I went here instead. Major upgrade! On time, large, meaty, with super-courteous service. Its unassuming atmosphere and simple menu belies the quality they put into the product. The best establishments throw in something extra, like a chef's amuse, for example. Here you get a free sauce for dipping. Since a lot of their "clientele" are students from neighboring Presidio Middle School, prices are low and affordable for all. A great joint, hidden in the Richmond. Top breakfast sandwich for the price.

The Art Bistro, near my kids' middle school, is a true gem. The quality is outstanding. You can taste the love and effort in every delicious drink and sandwich. The prices are more than reasonable, making it a wonderful spot for students, parents, locals, and visitors to the city. Each visit is a masterclass in generosity and kindness, making you feel right at home.

I found this place when I moved into the neighborhood about 3 years ago and I just love it! It's my go to for yummy bagels! They're reasonably priced and the staff are so sweet and friendly too!
