    My favorite sandwich place within walking distance of my office. I must have walked by dozens of times without ever going in, even just to check out their menu. Again, my loss. Our office ordered sandwiches from them early last year and I realized I had been missing out some very good sandwiches. Since then I have had The Italian, Spicy Soppressata and The Clucker. Every single one of them were good. I know deli sandwiches and have been eating them for 568 years. The good folks at Cafe Seventy8 create art on bread. They are the Ferrari of sandwich makers. My Go-To is The Italian: all Italian meat, cheese and bread. Perfecto. The meats are savory, the cheesy melty and the bread toasty & crunch. Just thinking about it now and my mouth has begun to water. Alore! I should get one today. Check out the pics...

    Peanut Butter Toast with Sliced Bananas

    Pretty cozy cafe. Peanut butter banana toast was quite good, but a little expensive for what it is. Good service.

    I didn't spend much time here, but dropped by becuase it was nearby. I had heard that the "lesbian cafe" had good breakfast sandwiches, so I went with a bagel sandwich with garlic aioli, turkey, bacon, and arugula (?). As a NY native, I was not expecting much from the bagel, and while it wasn't anything to write home about, I was pleasantly surprised at how the sandwich all came together. If I had more mornings in the area, I'd definitely try another sandwich.

    The Clucker

    This place is such a cute cafe in Bernal Heights. The sandwich prices are extremely reasonable for a good amount of food. I really liked the red pepper Mayo they used in my Clucker sandwich!

    Queer Friendly Space

    The street is some what quiet even if it's sandwiched between Mission & San Jose, making it a nice space to grab a morning or midday meal. I stopped in to grab a light light bite (got a Croissant that was fresh and buttery), but I could see myself coming back if just to chill with a coffee, light meal and a book. The cafe has a lot of light & space, with some seating outside making it a comfortable space though my order was Togo. As for Parking ito not impossible, btw if you are here after 11am you might want to also hit up Mitchell's Ice Cream since it's just One Block Way for a scoop or pint :)

    Oat milk latte

    Cute cafe that smells great walking by. I stopped in for an oat milk latte to go. Barista was friendly and quick. Latte was perfect, and I can't wait to come back to try food or spend time there.

    Okay so my first visit here had a lil hiccup that lead to a love I never knew I would have for a sandwich. I ordered a high maintenance turkey sandwich, well because why would I would I make anyones, let alone my own life any easier... I like what I like. Period. And what I got was a Caprese sandwich on dutch crunch. Which they tried to rectify on my next visit but WHY! It was bomb! Okay one compound word that I do not use lightly... MOUTHGASM! Coming from a lesbian, that's a BIIIiiiiiig compliment! Any way, I now make my weekly trips here to Café Seventy8 a weekly stop during my work trip in to the city. Being that I rarely eat at the time I am here (the sando was a one off) I usually order what I call a Double Dirty Mexican Mocha with Almond Milk and Whip.. again I admit to being High Maintenance! Which is their Mexican hot chocolate and I add espresso (like I need more caffeine). Can I tell you the staff and owners here are the absolute sweetest! The atmosphere here, is to sum it up HAPPY. Smiles, hellos and "let me scootch over's" from the patrons. Happy comes from up top right, then trickles down. Cause and effect. Happy fun to be around owners/managers make happy employees. Happy employees make happy food and happy smiles. In turn creating a pool of pleasantness you cannot help but absorb when you walk in yo this beautifully quaint welcoming pet friendly non-judgmental corner café at the corner of 29th and Tiffany.

With all the hype of the reviews, I wanted to love this spot so bad, but I thought it was okay. COFFEE: 7/10 (Iced Vanilla Latte) SERVICE: 8/10 AMBIANCE: 9/10 COFFEE: 7/10 I ordered an Iced Vanilla Latte with Oatmilk and thought it was quite watered down. I was not quite a fan of the oatmilk that they used, as it left an interesting aftertaste. I do appreciate how they rotate quality beans and take care in their brewing process, but I just felt my drink could have been stronger and less watered down. I also felt that for the price I paid, the size of the cup was quite small. SERVICE: 8/10 The staff here is friendly and welcoming. They seem genuinely knowledgeable and take time to make your drink right, even when the line gets a little long on weekend mornings. The overall vibe from the team adds to the neighborhood charm. AMBIANCE: 9/10 I love the artwork here. There is so much to look at from left to right and all sides of the cafe. It adds a nice touch to the vibes. The space itself is cozy and bright with cool decor and art, giving it a lively yet relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. Seating a bit limited, but there is more seating outside. Parking is not the best.

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.
