    Coffee was great and service was friendly! Cute little spot down in a courtyard. I did not try their food.

    Great vibes and love the early open hours! I got the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel sandwich and it was nice and tasty.

    This place is absolutely a MUST when coming to San Francisco! It's so understated but the ones who do come by keep coming back and so will I! The bagel and sandwich were so tasty and filling. Made fresh and with love. And the DIRTY CHAI?!?! THE BEST I've ever had. I hope this review convinces you that this is the breakfast spot you must go to when in SF! The staff are so nice and helpful as well, I had the best experience. Thank you!

    I did not eat here but I've probably passed it at least a hundred times. It's always clean and cute and smells good. I'm usually in a hurry when I pass by because it's right outside Powell (my favorite) station and tbh I'd feel guilty buying food from there with so many unsheltered around. Basically seeing and knowing how many right next to it are hungry. Otherwise it's in a prime location for travelers, tourists, and mall shoppers.

    Very tasty bacon, egg and cheese sandwich...

    I like this spot. Nothing fancy of course but the food is very well done and seems good quality and quantity. I came here twice for a egg and bacon sandwich, and I will come back again when I'm in the area.

    Cable Car Coffee is by the Muni at Powell Market. It's been here a while and it's funny and serves breakfast sandwiches and smoothies..etc..I decided to get something and it's murky and strange..fun San Francisco!

    This is a cute coffee/sandwich spot in the Benjamin H. Swig Pavilion (SF Visitor Center), a small lower level plaza in Union Square along Market Street. They have a huge variety of menu items and it was perfect for what we were looking for, basically coffee and breakfast sandwiches. The croissant sandwich with egg, cheese, and sausage was soft, warm, cooked perfectly, and so satisfying in the morning. And washed down with an iced mocha coffee drink not too sweet just perfect, I was happy!!! There's a bit of spaced-out tables and seating out front, but we took our goodies to go. Friendly service, cute cable car shaped storefront. What a great find near our hotel to start off our day (Super Bowl Sunday)!

In researching places near where we were staying, we learned about the Italian deli and shop. We were looking forward to stopping by to check out the store and grab lunch. The store itself is very cute and charming, full of so many items - fresh meats and cheeses, imported olive oils, pastas, desserts, wine, and liquor to name a few. There is an area where you can get coffee drinks and there is a deli area for ordering sandwiches, pizzas, specialty dishes, and salads. The variety of options is plentiful. I ordered an iced coffee beverage, which was great. My significant other and I ordered a sandwich to go, which we were splitting for a light lunch back at the hotel. The person helping at the counter was not very friendly or helpful with questions. We asked for our sandwich to be made on the Dutch Crunch bread, as we were looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, when we got back to the hotel, it turned out that the sandwich was made on a regular ciabatta roll, which was not fresh. Additionally, the sandwich was mostly mixed greens. For the price, I expected more meat. With so many great food options in San Francisco, it is likely we won't stop by on future visits to the City.

So much I was worried the ratio would be off. Told a friend that I didn't think it would be good. It would just taste like meat. I was wrong. Coleslaw wasn't too creamy or too sweet. Just right. Only thing I would change is asking for more peppers, they were so good so bright. Waffle Fries were great waffle fries, but the Mick Sauce was beyond great. To me it was like the best tartar sauce I've ever had. Maybe better. I would probably get an extra Mick Sauce and use it on my Sandwich. Friend got the Bradly and gave it top marks. All three meat flavors came through, jalapeños had great flavor that added to the sandwich. It's not cheap, but it's damn good. Be prepared to wait in line. I arrived around 1:50 and ordered around 2:20. I'm sure there are busier times. 100 percent worth the wait. They played CAKE and the employees were fantastic.

Three people working a tight space with three toaster ovens, and everything comes toasted by default. Their DNA is from pizza making, and it shows. The menu has around 40 sandwiches, so I asked the guy behind the counter for his two favorites and started there. The Godfather: Genoa and pepper salami, oven gold turkey, provolone, and garlic spread on Dutch crunch. Great texture, warm from the toaster, and the garlic spread ties it together. A San Francisco classic done right. The San Franpsycho: it normally comes with honey turkey, but they had rotisserie chicken on the spit so I swapped it in. Gouda, bacon, pesto, garlic spread, and remoulade. The pesto comes through right away and the chicken tastes like real rotisserie. Fair warning: it is messy. It drips. Do not eat this in the car. I could not find a clean way to eat it and ended up taking half home to finish. In their defense, I went rogue with the chicken order so that might have messed up the flow. If you're a sandwich person in SF, put this on the list. I'll be back soon.

We would definitely come back again when the sandwich craving hits!

Fear of Mission Out. The sandwiches are in high demand. The line on a Saturday that went from the intersection, around the fridge section, to the cashier took about 15 minutes and the sandwich took another 15. Both sandwiches were filling and fresh. We got hot ones with toasted bread. The couch potato with crispy pancetta was good, but American cheesier than expected. The preferable lemon pepper chicken sandwich was bright, flavorful, and tangy, with more dimension. I don't know if it's my favorite sandwich, but certainly top five. I give them five stars, however, because everyone was unpretentious and super nice, the sandwich artist is a machine, they have unique items, and they only charge $1.25 for a can of soda. As for the fresh chocolate chip cookies, my wife liked them. I didn't understand the hype. They were fudgey and doughy, so I guess if you like eating cookie dough you'll love them. We bought enough to have one as an appetizer and one for dessert.
