The owner was such a nice guy that it almost pains me to report that I didn't care for the $12.50 Classic Caesar I had here (Photo 9). Even though I know he made it himself and the serving size was generous, it tasted kinda like a pre-packaged salad you might find in a convenience store. The baby romaine was chopped a little too small. It also suffered from an overabundance of grated Parmesan cheese and Caesar dressing. The only aspect I didn't have a complaint about were the garlic croutons . I have a feeling I might've fared better with one of the sandwiches or wraps. I'd like to give him another chance if my appetite lines up with those sections of his menu. FOOD - 3 stars...just a middling Caesar [[HIGHLIGHT]]AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...fairly spacious in here[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] SERVICE - 4 stars...owner was really nice TOTAL - 3 stars...I'll try something else next time RELATED - Exploring the Sunset?

I really enjoyed my breakfast here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe was peaceful and the service was on point.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Asha was great in explaining the menu and showing that the breakfast menu was different than lunch. I arrived before noon so was still in the mood for breakfast. After 12pm they start serving the lunch menu. I ordered the smoke salmon plate and it was a masterpiece! Shoutout to Pepe the chef for presenting an amazing dish. Healthy and filling, I would definitely order it again. Next time I want to try the lunch menu! read more

If I could give zero stars i would. the waitress with the blue hair is amazing and so sweet. we had order matcha and none of them were drinkable. they all tasted like warm milk. when we complained we were offered to make new drinks but since the first experience had been so terrible we tried to swap themout of sodas but were told we had to talk go to the manager. this is the first time in my life a manager yelled at me for my order being "incorrect " because i choose to add flavor to my drink , something that was offered to me. The manager was so rude yelled at us in front of other customers simply for expressing being dissatisfied and then yelled at his employee. Our drinks were simply un drinkable no one wants to pay 8 dollars for a glass of warm milk with ice. he threatened to call the police on us. we left right after. read more

I've walked by Cafe La Flore many times and finally walked in for a bite. And what a bite it was! I have always appreciated presentation, food for the eyes. My smoked salmon sandwich is built beautifully and the ingredients are fresh. My sandwich came with soup or salad and I chose the cream of spinach. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was cordial and the cafe is quietly decorated with art.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ended my meal with a latte. This exceeded all expectations. Will go back to try more. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Food was mid but edible. Matcha is false advertisement. Got warm milk instead. Manager was uncooperative and rude, and told us it was our fault we added different syrups... Not only that, immediately shifted the blame towards the poor server (who tried her hardest to accommodate us). If you don't know what matcha is, why sell it. Refused to give refund or any other drink that wasn't this dog water. Wasn't looking for a full refund, just a simple swap. The server (blue hair) was the sweetest girl ever. Manager needs to seriously get it together. read more

Cafe La Flore Irving - Alledged Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

If you're walking the Crosstown Trail, this is a must stop to rest your weary bones. I had an iced vanilla latte and a smoked salmon sandwich with Kalamata olives. I think it was supposed to be open-faced sandwich but he warned me ahead of time that he only had wheat bread. It had a beautiful presentation which I wasn't expecting and was one of the best sandwiches I've had in a while. Service was quicker than expected since there was just one guy making the food and drinks and cleaning and running the register and I had a big group with me. Enjoy! read more

First time trying this cafe. It's a small cafe and wasn't busy too maybe because we came there around 4ish. The staff were very accommodating and friendly so we're happy. The place is tiny but clean. Street parking and you can pay with a card. I ordered a decaf cappuccino and it's really good but the appearance not so since the coffee was sprinkled with cinnamon powder messily. I rather have my coffee without it. Will I go back? Probably not because it's too far read more

My brother's friend who lived in SF for 7 years actually recommended this place to us, so my partner and I decided to come here for our anniversary! The sandwiches were absolutely amazing! My partner said it was like he was fine dining a sandwich. We got the roasted beef sandwich and the chicken salami sandwich. The sauces in both sandwiches were so flavorful and the presentation was beautiful. Both my partner's and my favorite was the roasted beef sandwich. I got the soup side with my sandwich and it was so delicious and felt super home-y. The service was also amazing! Super kind, sweet, and patient. I will definitely be coming back here again, and maybe next time I'll bring my laptop to work! read more

This place is the SPOT. It's definitely a hidden gem too because we walked in at prime brunch time (10 AM on a Sunday) and we were seated immediately.

Fancy little cafe out on Irving Inner Sunset. I'd actually been to their sister cafe in the inner Richmond. I ordered the Sandwich soup or salad combo and drink, although they had no soup and I didnt want a salad so I took potato chips. As you can see, these are definitely fork and knife sandwiches on a seeded sweet roll. someone else had a tuna melt but I didn't get a photo.Both sandwiches come warm so I suggest you eat there. My sandwich was $16 (the brie). I'd go back if in the area and wanted to have a sit down lunch read more

Cafe La Flore Irving - Delicious, fresh chilaquiles! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Stopped in and ordered a sandwich to go, went with the nor-cal jack. Sandwich was super loaded with the meat and even had a good bit of avocado! Loved that the sandwiches already came with a side salad, and they actually ended up being pretty big! Sandwich was a pretty good size too, I was even able to get two meals out of the two. Food was a little pricey and took a little while to come up, but it was a small shop with only two people working, plus it was fresh! Would probably come back here and grab a sandwich to enjoy at the park sometime. read more

This place is truly a hidden gem. Almost every Sunday, we get Cafe La Flore for brunch. Our go-to order? The Healthy Eater. Roll is the perfect texture--not too soft but not too crunchy--while the egg whites are perfectly cooked. We always ask for extra hot sauce. Do I know what hot sauce they use? No. It remains a mystery. But I will gladly drench my sandwich in their hot sauce every time. The Healthy Eater also comes with pineapples, strawberries, and bananas with strawberry yogurt--a nice refresher after the sandwich. The owner is very sweet and service is always friendly. They don't have that many employees so please be patient, especially when there are a lot of customers. You can always call ahead of time to check on the wait, or order takeout (they'll sometimes throw in orange juice for free!). read more

Hello new favorite restaurant! The food spins up creative classics into unexpectedly delicious and beautiful works of art. Smoked Salmon Open-Faced -- the eggs are perfectly soft and in-shape and the smoke salmon was fresh and came as a flower. The yogurt and fruits were a nice dessert touch too. Although this was a breakfast item, they still served at like 1pm. Thank you. Tuna Melt -- this blows all the tuna melts I had in my life. The toast is crunchy and it's full of flavor. I love the melted cheese on top. Food as you know it deconstructed and reconstructed in new ways. The cafe interior is quite lovely too. So much love and support to Cafe La Flore Irving! read more

This place has average smoothies, better than most places on Irving that don't use real fruits. I also ordered the Chilaquiles and all I gotta say is this rendition of chilaquiles is the saddest I have ever seen. I recommend the chef and staff look up on google what chilaquiles looks like. Because the presentation was like looking at throw up. The bottom is supposed to be covered in tortilla. Just call it a south west salad, not chilaquiles. read more

A cute cafe on Irving with lots of seating! They serve both food (like sandwiches) and drinks. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and they provide free Wifi on request.

"People haven't always been there for me but music always has..." - Taylor Swift Bonjour! Am I back in Paris listening to Begin Again by Taylor, or what?! A charming French Café in the quiet part of the Inner Sunset District caught my eye... Cafe La Flore on Irving! Oh the memories... Perhaps I've been here before, honestly don't recall, but back in the day, I lived just a stones throw away. It's odd how this wonderful Café has somehow flown under the radar for so long. Reviews are high but the location on Irving is more residential, so hm I guess, people forget about this gem? Oh well, as I enter, I find myself alone with the all French staff lol. It's early so that could have explained the low foot traffic. I am greeted in French offered a cozy corner window seat. Perfect start! I am treated with kindness, respect, and with patience as I peruse the menu. The menu is fusion French with Modern American, yet I decide to get a Breakfast Burrito instead lol, ironically it reminded me of when I ordered one in Paris! Silly cravings! For my beverage I decide on a Matcha Latté. I chill. The Matcha Latté arrives quickly with beautiful art - all about those details! On point in taste and a generous serving makes life worthwhile. The Breakfast Burrito aka Morning Wrap arrives shortly. The presentation of Morning Wrap was so French in aesthetics, but of course with the scrambled eggs, potato hash, bacon, avocado, pico de gallo, cheddar well it's obviously a boujee Burrito lol. *snap* And it was delicious! More on the healthier side versus the true Latin version, but it hit the spot! In the end, I'd return in a heartbeat! I loved the vibe, menu, and just how it brought back memories of my days walking the streets of Montmartre, Paris! And after playing that one song for the sixth time by Taylor Swift... well it's obvious a good Parisian day ;) read more

I don't know how this cafe isn't more popular! We came here around 2:45pm on Saturday afternoon after seeing the food pictures on Yelp, and we found street parking nearby. The inside feels casual and cozy. The two staff members were really nice and attentive. We got the chicken salami sandwich, breakfast burrito, and an iced latte. The plating is so cute and unexpected from a cafe. I loved how pretty our dishes looked, and they were both yummy! read more

Been coming here for years. A lot of care is put into the dishes, not just the taste or portions, but the presentation as well.

Quaint little place, with pleasant owner and server. We had only drinks - drip, white mocha, matcha latte and cupuccino. All were excellent.

Despite the somewhat dated appearance of the decor, this place serves surprisingly good breakfast. Came here after dropping off a rent check as it was conveniently nearby. Matcha Latte - I didn't have high expectations for this, but it was delightfully presented and tasty creamy and delicious. Open faced smoked salmon - I am thoroughly impressed by the presentation, which looks like a Michelin chef's creation! It's stacked a little high, which made eating somewhat difficult, but the ingredients are fresh and tasty, and nicely balanced. The fresh fruit was amazing, with a tasteful choice of sauces to improve the flavor. Overall a very impressive experience. This cafe definitely has the underpromise and overdeliver vibe. read more
