    My friends who I was meeting up was staying at a nearby hotel. We came here for breakfast since they had to check out 2 hours later. Not too many seating as everyone is just sitting there forever working. They have an extensive drink menu but breakfast was pastries and 5 items. You can get a chia bowl, avocado toast, eggs +, and a burrito. Overall the food was presented well and delicious. I did wish the potatoes were salted a bit. I got a mocha with soy milk. It was so pretty. Best coffee art I have had in a long time.

    Iced Latte
    Thien-Kim B.

    Stopped by around 4:30pm before a game. Espresso is strong enough and well balanced in the latte. Solid. Quick service and clean restroom. Lots of people on their laptops or chatting. There were lots of flies buzzing outside the establishment, near where the exit door is. Kinda ruins the mood walking up to the cafe.

    The honey and I dropped into Cafe Réveille as our last stop on a long day of walking around San Francisco. I ordered the Tropic Garden iced tea and he the Mountain Beauty iced tea. The service was prompt, but the layout for the straws and cup tops was a bit difficult to navigate. Our drinks were both refreshing and the cafe boasts two all gender bathrooms and quite a bit of inside and outside seating via the parklet. We would definitely drop in again, but the layout for the space, where the line begins, and where items are kept, could do with a redesign.

    Crunch bowl with chicken, açaí bowl, matcha latte

    Always packed with people grabbing a bite with friends or getting a coffee to work on their laptops. Seating both indoors and outdoors in their parklet and tables by the side walk. Overall place was modern, clean, reminiscent of a nice coffee shop. We ordered: - Crunchy bowl with chicken (5/5): warm bowl with kale, sweet potatoes, shiitake mushrooms. Side of chicken breast was extra $6 but added some protein to an otherwise perfect bowl. Lightly dressed which was a bonus - Açaí bowl (4.5/5): delicious açaí with fruits, wished there were some more berries and fruits, most of it was loaded with açaí and granola - Matcha latte with almond milk (5/5): rich matcha flavors, beautiful artwork Wasn't sure if we were supposed to bus our own tables after so I awkwardly grabbed our used plates and utensils and handed them over to someone by the kitchen (couldn't find a bin for these). My only other feedback was to allow guests to enter one of the two side doors that were marked "exit only" to get in to pick up utensils, waters, use the restroom, etc without having to bump through people waiting in line at the main entrance. Anyhow, would definitely come back for another delicious brunch! Cant wait

    Was hoping this place would be great because it's in an easily accessible area for me. However I was very disappointed by the Levantine Sandwich that I ordered. For $17+ tax/tip I'd expect a good amount of the grilled chicken breast inside the sandwich as was advertised on the menu - instead, what I got was a very very thinly sliced piece of chicken that was lost in a very large piece of bread and plenty of overpowering cabbage that I didn't really care for. The fries that accompanied the dish were also unremarkable.

    Mocha
    Eileen C.

    I came back on a Saturday morning around 10 and it was already bustling! There was no line though so I ordered and grabbed the second to last empty table with my order number. My mocha came pretty quickly and had really nice latte art on it! The espresso base today was a bit on the acidic side for me, but the cocoa flavor balanced it out a bit. The açaí bowl was absolutely delicious and just what I needed. There were so many toppings with granola and cacao nibs in every bite--I almost ran out of açaí at the end! The fresh fruit on top also tasted very fresh. It was the perfect treat to myself on a Saturday morning and enjoyed the open air and bustling (but not too noisy) vibes of the cafe.

    Almond croissant
    Ajay G.

    A wonderful location! They make the coffee really fresh and the almond croissant was tasty! The staff are friendly and welcoming first thing in the morning. I wish the almond croissant was a bit warmer, though.

    Lattes, homestyle breakfast, Shashuka
    Linda S.

    Food was tasty! This cafe had a variety of sweet and savory food. It ranged from typical American breakfast to açaí and fruit bowls. There are many breakfast options that are healthy. It had typical coffee options as well. The interior was so cute and modern with large windows for natural light. It seemed like the perfect place to get brunch or do work. There was a limited amount of seating though with probably only max 20 people fitting inside.

    Cappuccino, iced chai latte, passion fruit danish
    Ria B.

    I'm not gonna lie a lot of places in sf don't have the best acai bowls but this one was fantastic! They didn't blend the acai with a bunch of fluff and the flavor really came through. It was also packed with toppings which I know sometimes places skimp on. For 15$ it was pretty worth it in my opinion for the city. The cappuccino was solid and great, the chai was watery but the danish was tangy and great!

    Lisa W.

    A local steered us to this cafe as we were looking for excellent coffee and he sure was right. My friend loved her latte and my dirty chai was one of the best I've had. Popular place! Service was quick.

    Cappuccino  Hot Cocoa

    Came here late on a Saturday evening and loved the atmosphere. Service was quick and efficient My cappuccino was perfect and my partner's hot cocoa was quite rich and towards the darker side.

    I know your hours say you close at 5pm as of 7/8/23 (the hours on Yelp are wrong and say 7:30pm), but what time does your kitchen close? The website doesn't allow for any orders past 3pm and there is no phone number I can call. thank you!

    I live nearby and came here a few times already before 3pm, and their kitchen always closes early. I wish they advertised a stipulated time of when they stop serving food.

    Is the outdoor seating covered?

    Yes it is, they have 2 areas. 1 covered and the other open.

    Hi, is there currently indoor seating? If not, does the outdoor seating have any heaters?

    Indoor seating, outdoor without heaters

I made a reservation via Yelp for 3 people on a Saturday at 11:15am. My table was ready on time and they seated me even though our full party was running late. I got the Omelette Fried Rice (4.5/5), that came with delicious sriracha bacon, and an okay salad on the side. For my drink, I got the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk (5/5), which was fantastic. It's on the sweeter side, which worked for me. It was fairly busy and a bit loud inside.

I also like how this place also gives non fusion options like pad thai and pad see ew if your looking for more traditional foods!!

I asked a passing waitress how long was the wait--(30 minutes she said confidently). I had ZERO faith in that estimate. I was wrong. About EVERYTHING. The Host was a genius. Our waitress was a royal. Her serving team was the Kentucky Derby of thoroughbreds racing to place the silverware, condiments, used dishes, and refilled coffee going. The food tasted Michelin level. I can SAY that because we had eaten dinner at an actual Michelin rated restaurant the night before. (No Yelp rating needed because they ABSOLUTELY deserved it= NARI) I had a FRIED French Toast BECAUSE it cannot sit waiting to be served. My daughter had Eggs Benedict and the granddaughter had fresh fruit, fresh squeezed OJ in an ADULT glass (because she is a Big Girl now). While we paid our tab we heard a woman scream "I'm giving this restaurant a ONE STAARR REVIEW on YELP because of this WAIT!!!" OMG I thought someone had been ROBBED--but..on THIS Mother's DAY..it was only a spoiled young lady with poor manners. For me...now at a point in life that WAITING anywhere for anything is a PERCENTAGE of TIME I have LEFT to live...this breakfast was easily worth the time that it cost in human terms. Go any time you got a Mom, Grandma, Dad, offspring, first date or best friend you want to share a moment in time with early in the day over food and drink. No waiting worth mentioning. Thanks

We waited about 30-40 minutes on a Sunday, which was understandable given how busy and well-known the restaurant is. One thing that confused us was the ordering process. I initially wanted to order a particular dish (unfortunately I don't remember the name and for some reasons I don't have a picture of it), but one server told me they couldn't make it because they were missing some ingredients. Later, another server took the same order without any issues, and the dish arrived exactly as written in the menu. Since it was clearly available, I never understood why I was told otherwise in the first place. As for the food, it was good, but it didn't quite live up to our expectations. Having experienced Creole food in New Orleans, we felt the flavors there were more balanced and memorable. Here, our main dishes were a bit saltier than we would have liked, and overall the food didn't stand out enough to make us want to return. The atmosphere was pleasant, and I can understand why the restaurant is so popular. However, after visiting, I felt that some of the hype may be bigger than the actual experience. I'm glad we tried it, but if you're already familiar with Creole food from New Orleans, you may find it less impressive than expected.

I actually don't mind that- almost half the people were not around and it made the wait go faster. But I was a bit annoyed they sat us at a counter without asking- it was fine but we were expecting a table and would have probably rather wait a little longer for one. They only asked about inside vs outside and we said either was fine but no indication that we needed to mention we wanted a table. Most places seem to give you the heads up and make sure it was fine. Oh well. Everything sounded great and "The Plow" included 2 lemon ricotta pancakes, 2 eggs, pork sausage (you can also get chicken apple sausage links or bacon), and potatoes. The one nice thing of the counter is you get to watch them make everything and it is so organized and efficient. Food was solid. The wait went by pretty quick and wasn't a factor for me. I thought the pancakes were just okay- with all the hype I guess I expected them to be amazing but I honestly make better lemon ricotta pancakes (LOL). I think they needed a lot more lemon zest, maybe a touch of sugar, and the salted butter sounds great but added literally nothing. Maybe it was an off day and they weren't bad my any means but definitely nothing special. Similar thoughts on the pork sausage which was maybe slightly overcooked and the eggs which were a little under seasoned and I prefer mine a bit runnier. The potatoes were excellent, I liked those a lot and their hot sauce is very good too. $27 for the plate which seems a bit high but it's brunch in SF and it's nice they have the option to get the savory stuff but also a couple pancakes. And considering a single pancake is $7.50 it seems like a much better option to get the plate (overall all their sides are almost laughably priced ordered a la carte). I will say they use nice ingredients and a lot of the same producers I try to support in my own shopping/cooking as well as the same type of practice like pasture raised eggs. That in itself makes me feel good supporting them. I'd consider coming back but would request to sit outside and enjoy the vibes, definitely get something with potatoes, and maybe some hot sauce to go. Three and a half stars, I rounded up for now and will re-evaluate after another visit.
