    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!

    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.

    Came after seeing them on social media making the best banh mi in the city list…read more They bake their banh mi bread fresh daily & I can taste it. Ordered the coconut braised pig ear banh mi since I never seen that on any menu before. Enjoyed the flavors. Ordered the combo with the $3 Vietnamese coffee. Also got just a bread and shrimp spring rolls. Because the banh mi is big, it seems the filling isn't as substantial but the flavors were there. The shrimp roll was ok. Need to come back and try the pork. There is no beef that other places have. Mostly takeout but there are three small tables that sit two people each.

Their bread is made fresh every…read moremorning as opposed to other banh mi shops in SF and East Bay which pick up their bread from a distributor. They don't make their bread by the hour but they make a huge batch for the day each morning. They use quality flour and the prices are a little higher but the bread is fresh and crispy. This type of banh mi reminds me of the $1.00 banh mi that my family used to eat back in the early 90s. The baguette is much longer and the bread tastes the same... nowadays the banh mi shops have adapted a thinner baguette and the bread is not the same recipe as back in the 90s, it's either too airy or too hard and sharp. So this banh mi here held some nostalgia within me as we were eating it. The bread tastes exactly like childhood. Firm not too airy and crispy (ghon as we would say it). We ordered different types of banh mi and enjoyed all of them. There was even a sardine banh mi which is something I'd see growing up or eating at home only. Not a lot of banh mi shops offer sardine version. I had the fish cake banh mi, sardine banh mi and chicken banh mi while my husband had the cold cut banh mi. We both thought it was good for SF standards. The street is very busy and there is no parking. My husband waited around the block as I went in to order and wait for the banh mi to come out. It's not really much of a long wait. And this area is pretty out of the way for most. We just happened to be around here to see what this shop had to offer. This is a hole in a wall kind of place. So don't expect any sort of ambiance. Get your banh mi and go. Most families buy their banh mi for kids as snacks in the afternoon after schools done, or at least that's how I remember my parents doing it for us !

It checks off everything you'd want, filling, tasty, good amount of meat and veggies, and just a wholesome corner store deli sandwich!
