    Egg & cheese on a toasted English muffin
    Carol W.

    Memories of pre-pandemic. I visited this cafe for a quick bagel lunch then. Recently I was in the area, and remembered it. Without office workers, it was quiet nearby. Luckily they were open. Sometimes you want breakfast at any time. Their English muffin with egg and cheese is great! The cheese is melted perfectly and the egg is delicious. The melted cheese reminded me of my grandmother's grilled cheese. Prices are good, and the food is made quickly. The owner is very nice and friendly. They offer a variety of bagel sandwiches. Support a local business and stop by when you're in the area!

    Great place for a quick bite. I woke up in my hotel really early and was craving something to eat. Cafe Me wasn't far from me and they were open at 5:30am. They can be a little difficult to find because it's a small place. The menu is simple and the service is really friendly. Cafe Me has a variety of breakfast sandwiches on bagel, croissant, toast or english muffin. I got the sausage and egg sandwich and it came out hot and fast. I like that they cut them in half for you. This sandwich hit the spot for me and kept me full most of the morning. There are a few tables outside the order window for seating or you can take it to go. Great find!

    Cafe Me's menu is a variety of breakfast sandwiches on croissants, bagels, English muffins, or toast. You can pick any variety of bacon, sausage, egg, cheese, lox, etc. It's simple, it's fast, and the staff is extremely friendly and expedient. Cafe Me is uncomplicated and the prices are right. The croissants are rich and flaky, the bacon/sausage are solid, and the eggs have a nice fresh fluffiness. For a quick morning breakfast fix in the Financial District, I recommend Cafe Me and Il Canto Cafe.

    Croissant Sandwich w/ Bacon

    Super small breakfast sandwich joint. Quite well hidden from the nearby street as it's in a side passageway. Amazingly tasty breakfast sandwiches handcrafted to order! Pastrami! Pastrami!: I've eaten a lot of breakfast sandwiches over the years and this is the first time I've had a pastrami breakfast sandwich. It was basically like a regular pastrami sandwich, but with a fried egg in between. They actually did a great job on symmetry with each side having cheese melded to the bread, pastrami next the cheese and the egg resting between two hunks of pastrami. Also, I like how the rye bread was lightly toasted, but not like crunchy toasted. Very filling. It's kinda perfect for midweek brunch to go. English Muffin Sandwich w/ Sausage: Not as original as the Pastrami! Pastrami!. In fact, it was like a riff on McDonald's Sausage Egg & Cheese McMuffin. Except way better! For starters, their egg just tastes fresher and more egg-like. Their English muffin is also fresher. Their sausage seems higher quality. And their cheese seems more ample and runnier. And the best part, it was about on par with McDonald's prices (at least in San Francisco McDonald's). Everything Bagel Sandwich w/ Ham: The bagel was a tad dry. Also didn't seem as chewy as great bagels should be. But the everything spices were tasty. And, as always, the filling part of egg and gooey cheese was on point. The ham was a hearty meaty choice. Croissant Sandwich w/ Bacon: Reminds me of those similar sandwiches at Dunkin Donuts, except way better. The croissant tasted fresh from a bakery, not packed with preservatives and pulled from a plastic bag. The egg and cheese were good as always. I think bacon was a good pairing here to give a double crunch effect.

    Just got the tasty lox bagel from Cafe Me. It's a tucked away place with a lot of nice breakfast sandwich options and other items such as fruit and Odwalla drinks. It's more of a deli than a cafe though there are two tables outside. As others have mentioned, the owner is super friendly. Definitely a great place to pick up breakfast if you are in the financial district.

    Bagel egg and cheese sandwich w/bacon

    Came here before my appointment at the Japanese consulate for a quick breakfast before they closed and it was so good! Was a bit sad the croissant sandwich was sold out but I got it in a bagel instead! Service was quick and prices were good

    Burnt croissant sandwich with very little meat
    Jess C.

    $5.17 for a breakfast croissant sandwich. You'll pay $1+ at morning brew, and I was just turned off by the eggs at Il Canto which are cooked in a non microwave safe plastic to go container. Comes with 1-2 slices of low grade ham, I would next time get the Canadian bacon. I like the friendly service and that they take credit but the line was 10+ minutes at 9am. Crazy!

    Corned beef special on croissant. Croissant is $1 extra.
    Marc M.

    Great find tucked away down an alley. Luckily there are chalkboards on the sidewalk to mark their territory, but blink and you will pass right by and miss out on some remarkable breakfast sandwiches. Had the egg, cheese, and corned beef on a croissant. The croissant is $1 extra, but adds a little buttery goodness and soft chewy texture to a very good sandwich. This is basically an excellent corned beef sandwich disguised with the aid of a fried egg hat and croissant clothing. I'd call this a must for a hearty breakfast sandwich. The egg, sausage, and cheese on a muffin is exactly like the McDonalds version, only tasting home made and with a slightly peppery sausage patty that your mouth will be doing a happy dance for. The tiny shop is about a third of the size of a shipping container and that includes the kitchen, drink coolers, and a little standing room. Finding places like this remind me how much I love breakfast sandwiches! :-)

    Pastrami egg sandwich with sourdough bread.
    Cecilia C.

    Cafe Me is tucked away in a little alley, so it can be easy to miss if you're not searching! Their americano is not to be dismissed. Seriously good coffee that we had to go back to get another one. Their pastrami sandwich is also an A+! I had ordered it with the sourdough bread, which was perfectly toasty and flavorful. The egg and pastrami are a great pairing that make for a great breakfast sandwich, or really any time of day sandwich. I tried a bite of my fiancé's lox bagel, and holy cow I can wait to go back so I can get my own! He was in love with this bagel and admitted it was better than our hometown favorite lox. cafe me is a must go!

    Lox sandwich with sourdough bread - sorry I got excited and ate half of it before taking the picture.
    Christine N.

    There's a special place in my heart for places like this. A little semi-hidden gem that is just simple and delicious. I had the lox sandwich with sourdough bread. I don't know how they managed to make something so simple taste so good, but they did. The sourdough bread especially was perfectly crunchy and soft. Will definitely be back again!

    Vietnamese coffee and bacon, egg, and cheese bagel
    Zuri D.

    This was the perfect breakfast. I really enjoyed my meal and was very full, which was nice considering that it was reasonably priced. The Vietnamese coffee was also great, and the customer service was top tier. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because the bagel itself was pretty stiff.

    Lox bagel & medium americano. Yum!

A charming little bistro inspired by the Marlowe cows, I'm assuming, managed to stun us with several memorable dishes. The warm deviled eggs were an excellent start. Savory yet delicate enough to not weigh us down right at the beginning of our meal. The horseradish aioli wasn't for me, but I can see its appeal for a certain audience. You give me a Calabrian chili sauce and it's guaranteed to make me happy and this shrimp with sweet corn was no exception. Again, light but a punchy flavor that was enjoyable. I could go on and on about the different dishes we tried but the real standout of the night was the pork tenderloin with chorizo and peaches. The sweetness from the peaches somehow managed to enhance the flavor of the chorizo. This dish gives you a bold, savory and sweet bite all together but still won't have you feeling super heavy. The portion size is perfect. Im hoping to return soon for another exquisite meal.

There are a few tables outside the restaurant that are slanted on a small hill and a platform with a few tables on the street. We were seated on a table on the hill and had to be mindful of fluids/sauces filled to the brim. Blankets are also provided on each chair in case it gets breezy outside. The menu is set daily, so the dishes can vary from what's shown in previous photos. After ordering, it took over 30 minutes for our food to arrive. The summer vegetable hash comes with beans, squash, tomatoes, corn, carrots, peppers and eggs. I typically associate hash with potatoes, but surprisingly this dish does not come with potatoes. The dish was fairly mild, with most of the flavor coming from the individual vegetables. It's definitely a lighter, healthier take on hash and would be a good option if you're looking for something with more vegetables. The plow comes with eggs, lemon ricotta pancakes, potatoes and choice of meat. The lemon riccota pancakes were the star of the dish- light, fluffy and not too sweet. The potatoes were crispy. The steak + eggs was a hearty option. The steak was tender and juicy and went well with the chermoula sauce. Overall, I'm glad I got to try this restaurant at least once, but hesistant to come back because of the long wait and value of each plate.
