I ordered the Chicken Avocado Sandwich, and it was absolutely incredible. It wasn't just delicious, it was a beautiful, well-crafted sandwich that looked as good as it tasted. You can tell the team puts a lot of love and care into every sandwich they make. We paired it with a latte, which was also excellent. Great coffee and an amazing sandwich are hard to beat. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and genuinely made us feel right at home. Great customer service made the experience even better. We're already planning to come back tomorrow for another sandwich and to finally try the clam chowder. Writing this review is making me hungry all over again! If you're in the Sunset District, don't skip Lou's Cafe. Their specialty sandwiches are worth every bite. Highly recommended!

So while I can't speak to in person service or decor the delivery is on point. My peachy salad was just ok. The chicken was cold and not crunchy, and the cornbread crumbles were not crunchy at all, like kind of in between stale and crunchy... weird combo. Peaches and pickled onions were awesome though. The dressings that it came with which were a bbq sauce and some type of special ranch also were a weird combo, glad it was on the side vs in the salad itself otherwise I'm not sure I would have eaten it. Crispy cauliflower was good but definitely not crispy at all! Probably got softer on delivery but definitely not something that should be advertised as crispy when it's not... The saving item was my carrot ginger agua fresca- this was amazing! Loved it, that gets a 5/5. Food is 3/5.

Really enjoyed the different flavors of agua fresca here. Spacious and clean interior with a cool SF landscape mural. Service was also friendly. Located on 9th Ave and Lincoln Way.

We came here for Sunday lunch, and there was a short line to order. Apparently the schmelty was…read moretheir signature sandwich, so we waited another 20 min to get that, and sipped on soups in the meantime.

The restaurant had plenty of outdoor seating which was great for big groups. The restroom was quite clean as well.

F O O D: I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon after a gig,…read moredrawn in by the nostalgia of growing up just a block away from this spot. I ordered the Magnifica sandwich, and it was very tasty. The variety of meats was excellent, and the olive relish added a perfect zing. I specifically asked for green chilies to be included, and they happily accommodated that request, adding a nice kick and veggies for me to enjoy. One of the most unique aspects of the meal was the massive selection of hot sauces available to try. There were tons and tons of different bottles lining the counter, which really helped "fancy up" the meal. I used them to spice up both the sandwich and the soup. Speaking of the soup, I had the tomato soup. I had expected a thick bisque like thingy, so the texture was a bit too light for my preference, though the flavor was definitely there. Definitely an elevated (in a positive way) campbell's tomato soup; don't forget the crème (if you're able to!) The hot sauces definitely added the richness I was looking for. A highlight was the Elote soup (their seasonal special). I'm not usually a corn fan, but I saw someone else getting a sample and took the risk and asked for it too. The manager was incredibly generous (and I recognized him from the website.) The sample wasn't just a spoonful; it was practically half a cup with garnishes included! Kudos to him for that generosity. It was pretty good, even for a non-corn lover. A M B I A N C E: The atmosphere here is fantastic: if it's sunny in the sunset, sit outside. It has a distinct retro feel, and the art is a major standout. I was particularly fascinated by the countertops embedded with pennies and coins. It feels like a tribute to "long live the penny," especially now that we aren't using them much anymore. It's a unique, nostalgic touch that makes the place feel special, especially for someone who grew up right around the corner. S E R V I C E: The service was a bit of a mixed bag. Upon entering, I wasn't immediately sure of the flow until I was quickly directed to order at the register before sitting down. While I tried to chat with some of the staff, I felt like I might have been bothering them or coming off as annoying (maybe I just have "resting bitch face"?). However, the manager made up for it by being generous with the Elote soup sample. While the manager stepped up, the general interaction with the others felt a little off, suggesting there's room for improvement in friendliness and engagement. In the end, twas worth a visit for the nostalgia and the Magnifica sandwich, but maybe keep the small talk brief!

A for effort. This…read moreplace got rave reviews for its roasted garlic pork and broccoli rabe sandwich. In Philly, where I'm from, a ladle of pork jus tops these sandwiches, creating a moist mouthful that ties the flavors together texturally. The Palm sandwich has no pork jus and instead has a spicy mayo, and some sort of chewy, smoky bits sprinkled on top. I'm really disappointed with this version. It's basically a very dry pork sandwich with a measly slice of provolone and broccoli rabe on one side and sauce on the other side. Unless your mouth is able to get around a 3.5" sandwich, the flavors don't mix. If you're going to make a sandwich that already exists and put your "take" on it, it should be at least as good, if not better. I hate paying good money on crap food. Boo.
