    Ham and cheese croissant
    Thomas R.

    I was working across the street from this place for over a week and found myself dropping in a few times. There's only street parking available and I noticed a lot of people blocking driveways to come into this place. Very minimal decor and menu. First time I got the chicken pesto sandwich and it was pretty good. It was relatively heavy so I didn't even bother to make it a sandwich, I kinda ate it like a pizza lol. The bread had a nice crunch and all the flavors were where they needed to be. My biggest issue was how long it took for them to make it. My lunch was almost over by the time I got my food and I only had to cross the street to get here lol. I'd recommend calling it in if you're on a time limit, modern solutions amirite? I also got a ham and cheese croissant made one day that was nothing to rave about but it was good enough. I wanna say the pricing isn't too bad here, especially for the city. The workers are chill and professional. A nice family business that seems to be keeping afloat and I support it. The menu can use some additions but if you're ok with just breakfast options and a few sandwiches then you shouldn't have any issues here.

    3.5 STARS Logos are important. Cuz brand recognition. Except for a Swedish company named "Locum". Look up their logo...SO much fail. *Facepalm* This little corner spot bordering Noe and Bernal has been a number of cafés through the years. Never made a point to shop by until I saw the black and gold Golden Gate Bridge Logo from afar last week. Ahhh haa! They must be related to Taqueria Gonzalez in The Portola so I decided to make a pit stop for dinner last night. Except when I arrived, I realized there was no "taqueria" in its name. Cafe Gonzalez is a cafe and it was dinner time so breakfast for dinner? Why not! They're open for takeout and indoor dining (4 tables). No outdoor seating. With the mandate lifted, no masks are worn. M E N U Bagels, breakfast burritos/bowls, salads, and sandwiches (Boar's Head). There's also some pastries and chips. For drinks, they have coffee, tea, juices, and canned drinks. F O O D * Breakfast Burrito w/ two eggs, cheese, potatoes, black beans, avocado, and salsa ($8.95) ***Add sausage patties (+$2) Since it's a spin-off Taqueria Gonzalez and I've had their burritos before, I thought the breakfast burrito here would be a safe bet. It was ok; it could use more filling, flavor, and texture. I couldn't find the sausage (one patty diced up) until I was halfway done with one of the halves. Since the tortilla isn't griddled, I think using tater tots or hash browns instead of diced potatoes would give a nice crispy texture and adding more cheese or a saucy element like a chipotle aioli would give it more oomph. S E R V I C E Super friendly staff. Family-owned and operated; kids were playing inside. They're still training folks so kindly be patient. A M B I A N C E Barebones with four indoor tables. P A R K I N G Parking can be tricky but they have a dedicated 10 minute parking zone in front. Overall, a decent morning pit stop before hopping onto 280 S. Wishing the owners the best of luck!

    Dry mediocre club sandwich

    Today I decided to participate in the economic boycott and support small mom and pops. Cafe Gonzalez I will never come back for this mediocre dry $17.24 sandwich. Unfortunately it's just not with it.

    Mikaela is wonderful. She cooks and serves everything on her own. I ordered a small americano with an extra shot and it smelled heavenly. I also ordered her homemade chicken tamale and it was piping hot and delicious. Don't hesitate to visit this hidden gem in the city!

    The Bacon egg and cheese was Cooked to perfection I'm from North East and that's all we eat so it's definitely can attest to the goodness factor lol . Very clean on inside I'll definitely be back . Great customer service as well

    Came in for a latte on a rainy day. I came in the afternoon so they did not have many bagel flavors left. They have a menu that looks good with breakfast burritos, tacos, eggs and sandwiches for lunch. The prices are about average for the area. Very nice relaxing spot to go have coffee and quick bite to eat. I plan to return to try other menu items.

    Decided to give this new place a go since it was open early and had some veg options. My unpopular opinion is that SF doesn't have the greatest mexican spots or theyre all at least overpriced, but this is coming from someone who lived in LA for over a decade. I suppose one can't expect anyone to be able to afford to live in this city selling $1 tacos though. Anywayyy, it's hard to find a good burrito in the city and it's even harder to find a good veggie burrito...well anywhere tbh. When a spot does offer one, its usually the same as the regular burrito without the meat and to be frank, beans rice lettuce salsa without the meat just ain't doing it folks. ENTER THE B3, which ive attached pictures of. I looked at this thing on the menu and was like...egg whites? Mushrooms? Carrots? In a burrito? It sounded kind of weird but then I also thought, they only have 3 burritos on this menu. Surely, somebody put some thought into this, so I'll give it a try. I'm glad I did. The burrito was great--different but refreshingly so, and that's what I was looking for in a veggie burrito! i devoured it without feeling sluggish afterwards. Compliments to the chef! Staff was friendly and accomodating. I ordered mine w salsa on the side (genetically predisposed to cilantro crowd represent!). The staff gave me some other hot sauce that paired nicely. I love supporting small, family-owned businesses and love it even more when they put out a good product. Keep it up!

    THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS! El servicio es muy amable. El precio es accesible. Es un lugar familiar

    2 eggs, cheese, avocado, potato, and salsa burrito 10/10; strawberry, banana, and milk smoothie also 10/10!

    Super solid smoothie and burrito! Great spot for a quick breakfast. Staff is super nice!

    This is the B1 burrito

    This is the best bagel store in Bernal Heights not just because of the delicious food, but the energy and ambiance of this place is so inviting. The owner is the kindest woman I have met and she provides an array of breakfast options that are all scrumptious. Please go here and support this business Such a staple breakfast place

I was pleasantly surprised by the offerings when I arrived. Tons of food options, and a solid selection of flavored lattes too. Me and my wife got a couple drinks and a brownie. Both of our drinks were quite good. Strong flavor and on the sweeter side (how we like it). The brownie also was surprisingly good. Definitely worth stopping in if you are in the area.

All roads in San Francisco lead…read moreto Mission street and no matter where you turn you will run into something interesting. Mission street runs by the waterfront of the Embarcadero to the border to county line of San Mateo in Daly City. Every block on Mission street can change from global business giants to mom and pop stores. Mission street at night is different from Mission street in the day time. In the morning there is a hidden gem right off Mission street where the coffee is rich and it's on Richland street. On a Mission street stroll I needed something to perk me up. Making a turn on Richland street I ran into Cafeto Coffee shop. Inside you can get breakfast sandwiches like the chicken pesto panini and also the ham and cheese flakey croissants like some in SF. Don Juan de la matcha was going to get the matcha but wanted to try the ice white mocha instead. It was refreshing and tasty. This is a good hidden spot to grab some good expresso. Walk on Mission street and turn on Richland street and make a pit "stop"where you can get roasted coffee drip and get that caffeine "drop" with coffee art on "top" at the "Cafeto Coffee Shop" The coffee and expresso packs a punch like late boxing legend "Rocky Marciano"whether it's the "Mocha Mexicano", or the "Expresso Cubano" or the "Americano"

    I have come to Black Jet a handful of times now (only because Bernal is so far from the Sunset!)…read moreand have had amazing experiences and pastries every time. If you need a cake for a special occasion or coffee / pastries for a cozy morning you can't go wrong here. For Mother's Day I preordered their Celebration Vanilla Buttercream Cake with Black Lockett Floral. I've ordered bday and holiday cakes before so I had high expectations, but this cake was gorgeous! A show stopper fit for the amazing moms in our lives. The devils food base was moist and rich and paired perfectly with the salted vanilla buttercream. My family compared it to an upscale Oreo hehe... It also made my mom feel so special which is all you can ask for. 10/10! If you're preordering there is no special express line, and the shop can be busy, so keep that in mind if you're in a rush. I usually end up grabbing more pastries and a coffee while in line so it's win-win for me. The shop also has a small selection of cute merch, cards, sprinkles and other assorted gift items handy for picking up on your way to a party. Definitely one of my favorite bakeries, especially when I'm looking for a crowd pleasing cake. Highly recommend repeat visits as their menu is constantly rotating with the seasons. Can't wait for my next visit!

Both were good, the danish I believe is seasonal so they change out the fruit and I got plum which was pretty sour but the rest of the danish was good.

Curious to see what new items they add to the menu and how their pies are next time!
