Stopped by for a large cup of house coffee ($3.25). Man behind the counter offered no greeting or hello, just poured, capped and handed it to me. Went to add sugar and cream was taken aback at the counter's unsanitary state. Sat outside to enjoy the sun. When I returned to toss my cup, nothing was changed. Three people behind the counter not waiting on anyone. I would expect someone could find the initiative to survey the state of the counter and clean up. Didn't happen. read more

Good cafe in the outskirts of Bernal Heights. Wifi with caffeine and food items offered on the menu. Got their caramel coffee iced and blended! It was good. Cash only under 5 bucks. Outdoor seating limited and it's great when the weather permits. read more

Visited this place on a Friday morning. Short line, but the service was quick and smooth. Ordered a ham and egg croissant along with a tuna bagel. The tuna bagel was absolutely delicious, definitely a must-try! read more

Popped by Cafe Seventy8 for a quick bite before my evening shift. I don't really understand the appeal. I ordered the Frenchie panini and an iced coffee. They didn't have cream in their pourer and was told they were "out for the day" when I asked for some. What kind of coffee shop doesn't restock creamers or milk? The panini took 35 minutes before it I received it, and mind you the cafe was almost dead when I arrived. The food was okay, nothing memorable. The service wasn't too great either. Cashier rolled his eyes at me when I asked about the sandwiches because I guess he had to make it himself. No one had any real enthusiasm for working here or even the skill to put on a fake smile for customers. Gave it a shot, not impressed. read more

One of the most delicious cafes ever. What a gem in the neighborhood. I tried a few items at Cafe Seventy8 and everything is always fresh, delicious, and delightful. Sandwiches are heavenly.

I'm a big fan of this cafe. The first time (and definitely not the last) I came here, I had a cappuccino and a breakfast panini. My girlfriend had a fruit and yogurt partait and coffee. My cappuccino had a perfectly thick head of foam on top -- made just the way a cappuccino should (unless you texture the milk instead, which is also a good option) -- and was delicious. As we sat down to enjoy our coffee, I could smell the breakfast panini coming. It was savory, gooey and just the thing I needed to get me going that morning. Overall, it was a perfect place for breakfast and I will be coming back. read more

Cafe Seventy8 - Breakfast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'll definitely come here again to do some work. I love how the price is slightly cheaper than most cafes in the city. I tried their Breakfast Panini + added ham = about $7. The portion was HUGE. I ate the sandwich for both lunch and dinner. They have a wide selection of bagels, pastries, and other beverages. There are several plugs located next to the tables which are nice when you're looking for a place to work. Wifi is strong too! I like how residents come here and make conversations with each other. read more

I love this corner. The workers are really nice and their food is always tastes amazing. Their coffee is also good and helped in those days which seemed a long day. I love to stop by to just pick up my sandwich & coffee bc I know they're going to be amazing. read more

I live close by and have been coming here for easy weekend breakfasts for awhile now. I love their bagel and breakfast sandwiches, and coffee is decent. Would do 3.5 if I could, because it is a little pricey for what it is, and because the service could definitely be friendlier. It can be hit or miss, I've seen the same cashier be upbeat and helpful, to looking like she's hungover and just rolled out of bed (and forgetting my orders) the next weekend. I'd like some more consistency in the atmosphere/ service provided but for now will keep going for a good to-go breakfast on a lazy morning! read more

Just want to check in and say that Cafe 78 still has the best sandwiches, coffee and atmosphere in town. You have to try the Heavenly Veggie sandwich. Great outdoor seating and service. Anett and Katie are caring and dedicated owners and community members. Lots of love for this sweet cafe! read more

I'm a huge fan of Katie's Vegan Eggs (a cold sandwich). Honestly better than real eggs sandwiches I've previously had. The soy lattes are also pretty good (I paid $13 pre-tip for both the sandwich and coffee). Another bonus is that I've always had space to sit and tables / power outlets for working on your laptop. (Even on Sunday afternoons during peak brunch hours). I would love to see some other vegan options on the menu! read more

wow, what a great surprise how delicious and friendly our experience was. also, it was spacious (made us feel that covid risk was lower) with tables placed far apart from each other and often next to open windows. lots of outdoor seating in the parklet. hot chocolate: delicious--probably made from scratch, not from a powder from the taste of it. bagel sandwiches: somehow yummier that what i make at home panaroma english muffin sandwich: beautiful surprise to find this here and have it taste so good. i didn't even add meat, and it was completely satisfying. service: the two guys working the cafe sunday morning were friendly, quiet, and very competent. crowd: diverse neighbors--nice sunday crowd. price: very very reasonable, especially for san francisco. for under $10, i left feeling very happy and satisfied. my wallet thanks you! definitely will be back again because it's top notch delicious at a great value price. read more

Amazing food and service, a must stop in the morning! Great selection of food and drinks, love the fresh grapefruit juice!

I can see why Cafe Seventy8 has such great reviews. You get a really strong cup of coffee here for cheaper than Starbucks or Peet's, so we're talking both quality and quantity. Not only that, their bagels, sandwiches, and salads are all made to order by just two people working the counter and food prep station. It would be a travesty if this local stable goes under or has to close because of gentrification and rising rent in San Francisco. Great service, strong coffee, free wi-fi, delicious food. They even have portable chargers for your phones. Solid stuff. ($5 minimum for credit cards) read more

This review comes after my fourth time at the cafe. I really tried to give it a few chances before such a bad review, but today was the last straw. The food is decently tasty and is fairly priced, 4/5 for that, but the service is atrocious. The people at the cash register have the worst attitude and are incredibly rude. Today the guy messed up my order and practically threw the sandwich at me and when I tried to get his attention (literally 5 feet away) he was talking to the guy making sandwiches. The woman working the register the other day acted like I was an absolute idiot for not knowing they'd be out of everything bagels around 10am. The management really needs to work with the employees on their attitude. read more

Stopped in because it was 65 degrees outside in San Francisco, and for those of you not local, we call that, "freezing." I wanted a warm beverage after having dinner at one of my favorite SF restaurants that apparently boycotts turning the heat on in winter and is somehow colder inside than it is outside. (C'MON, pizzahacker! I bought premium toppings. You can afford to put a few logs in the fire.) So anyway, I stop in and was really just glad to see this coffee shop open at 6:30pm on a Sunday and holiday weekend. I'd been leaning towards a chai but for some reason I blurted out, 'Mexican Hot Chocolate', when the barista asked what I'd like. I did kind of want it and the idea of a spicy dessert-y beverage sounded nice but I had a smidge of FOMO about not getting the chai... then someone pointed out the $5 credit card minimum so I ended up ordering the chai, too, for the my walking mate. It wasn't busy at all so they had just one person taking orders, making them, and ringing up. The general vibe is a little low budget and the baked treats on the counter were pretty stale (I got an overly hard dream bar). I was excited just to have two hot beverages in my hands to warm up a bit on the way back to my vehicle but bummed that my Mexican hot chocolate was really just a regular old hot chocolate. No spice, nothing stand-out, not everything I was hoping for but hey, it kept me warm for the time being and that was the main goal all along. read more

This place is the best! Low-key neighborhood spot that packs a punch - a friendly, delicious punch! - right to the tummy. Their hot sandwiches are incredible - like off the charts good - and they appear to do it all from the tiny kitchen behind the counter. I say "appear" because while I've never watched the process too closely (they are usually pretty busy and I usually have my head in my phone) the results far far far exceed the sum of their parts. So much so that I'm slightly suspicious of what goes on back there. My personal favorites include the Heavenly Veggie and the Spicy Soppressata. In fact, I think those are the first two sandwiches I've tried there, so the whole menu could be incredible but I've just never felt the need to go with anything but those two. It's a pretty bold proclamation to name you're sandwich "Heavenly", but hot damn if it doesn't hit the mark. My partner just described it as the best vegetarian sandwich she ever had. I agree. Melted Brie, avocado, olive tapenade, little bits of onion, on toasted ciabatta bread. Other highlights include the sidewalk seating, the adjacent parklet, the huge sliding windows that bring a cool breeze on a hot day, the awesome mural across the street and people watching at the intersection of 29th and Tiffany. What an awesome little spot at an awesome little corner of San Francisco. Shout out to Annette and Patty and the staff for creating and fostering a welcoming and friendly space. read more

Everything was really good here; beautiful location, great coffee, yummy bake goods. My one star was for the lady at the counter, chubby girl with glasses. She handled my "coffee raspberry" cake with her hands and throw it to me in a Togo bag. Classless. read more

Forgot my bag here after having coffee with a friend and called to say I'd pick it up in a few days since I don't live near by. I was told by the lady on the phone not to bother if I couldn't make it the next day since her boss would throw it away. I can see if the property went unclaimed but think it was a pretty rude response when I actually called about it. read more

Quieting. Hidden. Legit. What's up with these hidden cafe's in the Mission?! I fortuitously stumbled upon Cafe Seventy8 (anyone know the history behind the name?) craving a warm bev and assessed upon first glance that this place was gonna do me right: clean, spacious, and freshly baked goodies neatly on display. One star knock off for false advertisement (best chocolate chip cookies in town? hmm...read: anthony's?) but who's counting...so I got one anyway - not bad! The coffee was arguably the freshest brew I've had in quite some time. My beautiful Barcelonean(?) barista also made sure I had just enough room for milk and the temp was perfect! Sippable, not gulpable, and def not scorching. The red velvet cake looked scrumptious and I was equally impressed with the barista who constantly kept herself busy tidying up the area (I was there for 2 hours!) Caffeine fiends! Go discover this hidden treasure! $1.50 for cuppa joe $.75 med size cookie **Board games avail! read more

Service: 5 stars Coffee: 2-3 stars Service is usually super friendly. They don't know my face but offered to spot my $2 since I didn't have cash on me and there was a credit card minimum. "Just pay us back later when you're in the neighborhood." That's a 5 star experience for a neighborhood cafe! I'll definitely be a returning customer. The coffee here is amiss sometimes. I've had cappuccino here a few times, and it really depends on the barista you get. I've gotten rough foam and bitter cappuccinos to really smooth and delicious cappuccinos. The house coffee is a good deal and their iced coffee tastes good too. Have to average it to a 3 stars because I really wish they can establish some consistency on the quality of the espresso drinks! read more

Tip: If I order iced coffee and you put it in a hot-from-the-dishwasher glass so that all the ice immediately melts, please don't give me attitude when, after waiting politely while you chat with your hip co-worker and studiously ignore customers, I request more ice, which you also put in a hot glass, leaving me with tepid colored water, which is only one of the bad tastes in my mouth. Bottom line: I tipped $1.00 for a $2.00 brown water with attitude? read more

Please stop reading this review. Don't go to this cafe. It's so good that I don't want you creating lines there. Perfect coffee yes. But amazing panini sandwiches too. I don't know of any other coffee shop that does paninis like Seventy8. I had some American friends who live in Germany visiting--we had to eat there at least once per day, sometimes twice. Stay away from the Clucker and the Vege Delight, they don't have enough for you- go away! I literally tried every coffee shop within walking distance of Seventy8--none of them has a coffee-sandwich-price ratio that compares. read more

I am sitting here on my laptop with Free wireless eating the most delicious sandwich in the city. I ordered the "Heavenly Veggie" Panini and it is fantastic. I love this cafe. People are nice; they don't rush you out; and it's a local place where anyone and everyone is welcome. If you haven't come by, try to visit it, and if you like vegetarian, don't miss the Heavenly Veggie Panini! read more

The one thing I miss the most about living in that corner of the city is Cafe Seventy8! Staff is always friendly, and the quality is very consistent. My picks are the double cappuccino and the spicy soppressata sandwich. Can't go wrong with that! read more

The "Katie's Vegan Eggs" sandwhich is amazing! Add avocado for an extra amazingness punch. Also, their fresh juice is to die for. A great vegan lunch. read more

Liked the staff, it's sunny location and the others who were hanging here, but... the drip coffee was horrible. Too light-bodied and tasted old. Perhaps I caught a bad (or expired) batch, but it had me craving Folger's. I took it to go and, despite eventually thowing out half of it, considered replacing it when I passed by Nervous Dog a few blocks later. This place is near-ish my apartment so I want to like it. I'll give it a second try in hopes I just caught a bad brew today. I see potential. read more

such a great place. I'm currently sitting next to an elderly retired woman, who is using two tables to do her TMT exercises while watching her computer, she's got one table just for her USB mouse. She's been here for hours and she DID NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING! such great folks but really, we should buy something to support these businesses. Sure, I set up office here sometimes too, but I always buy an amazing sandwich or yummy soup. I can't believe how nice this place is. xoxox read more

Lovely neighborhood (cash only) coffee shop. Lots of goodies, I had carrot cake for breakfast the other day. =) I love their salami sandwich on an olive baguette with red pepper mayo, and cream cheese! They have a bunch of tables outside too. read more
