Cavalli Cafe - Cannoli and London fog. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Cozy little Italian cafe in little Italy . A ton of fun 50's style art work. Lots of jokes coving the walls along with historical photos. The staff is incredibly friendly. One small bathroom is upstairs. The cookies are scrumptious. Trying to watch my sugar intake and half of a treat was plenty. More for later. read more

Cavalli Cafe - Double espresso and a occhio de blue. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came by for dessert and coffee the other day and it was delicious! Staff behind the counter was courteous. Tiramisu was very fresh and delicious. At $5 a slice, it was a tad cheaper than other coffee shops around the corner. Latte was also smooth, although a tad pricey at $4.5. Cafe was empty upon arrival and they do take credit cards. read more

They should FORCE you to eat their *fresh* cannoli every time you walk by. It's so good and they make it to order! Friendly staff, nice upstairs seating, great selection of Italian cookies, tea and Italian coffee. Great for both locals and tourists (I first came here as a local but with a North Beach tour group - so fun!) There are a few outdoor seats, great for people watching but also loud AF since they are in front of a bus stop. :) I need to make this a more regular stop! read more

Cavalli Cafe - Cannoli and tea (but who cares about the tea - it's all about the cannoli! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Great chai lattes and cannolis! They do not have cannoli's on display because they pipe cannoli's fresh here. Beautiful plating with mini chocolate chips, crumbled pistachio, and candied orange. The chai lattes are the perfect combination of spicy and sweet. Try it out! They have 3 small tables for outside seating. read more

Went here because it has tiramisu. It was so good, I bought a second one. The cafe was also very cute, with a cool window bar to look out over the street. read more

I randomly came here because they're open till 12:30am & I'm here visiting San Francisco with friends. I really enjoyed their Dirty Chai Latte. They have really cool decor & an upstairs with a cool view of Stockton street. read more

Americano with cream... This is probably the best place in the area that can make it when the coffee isn't to light or too bitter. The young women working in the back are quick and friendly, most of all I love the layout of the cafe, very Italiana American, be sure to keep a look out for the world war II era helmet and fighter jet helmets above the inside door entrance, very cool! read more

Came here last morning of a two day visit to SF. Husband is of Sicilian decent so wanted to visit little Italy. Based on reviews we tried the cannoli. Although truly delicious, when we midsectioned the cannoli we found that the counter person did not take proper care to fill it completely, a decidedly lapse of commitment to perfection. read more

Cavalli Cafe - Truly Amazing taste, Great Canoli - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

A friend of mine is a regular at this place and claims Cavalli has "the best espresso in San Francisco." He KNOWS his coffee, so how could I not stop in during a west coast trip? "Best" doesn't even begin to describe this cappuccino I had. Mind blown. It was excellent. Santo, the owner, is amazing to chat with. He LOVES this cafe, he LOVES coffee, and it's very evident. Yanessa is super friendly, and it was such a warming experience to hang out with them for a little bit. It really makes you appreciate the value in these small businesses. A true gem! On a side note, I hear their desserts are quite excellent. I didn't get a chance to have any, but all the more reason to make a trip back. read more

It's sad when one bad interaction is enough to ruin a long relationship. I've been coming here for years as I live around the corner. The coffee is awful and grossly overpriced, the food is wildly sub par, and the pastries are soggy. I didn't care, as It was close to my house and they are open late - call them quirks of your standard bad cafe. I've spent hundreds of dollars here and never with any regret. Today I sat down to have a coffee and work, and while doing so, I bent over to tie my shoe, and as I have chronic back pain, I used the plastic seat at the table to support my foot. An employee ran out and rudely began to berate me for placing my foot on my chair. He then proceeded to shoo me away with a rag and wipe down every surface I had touched as if I were carrying the plague Before loudly and passive aggressively complaining about me to a fellow customer. I'm one who loves the quirks of bad businesses - the mismanaged greasy spoon, burnt diner coffee, and house painted murals on restaurant walls are endearing, but i draw the line at harassment. A polite request would have done the trick and would have ended with an apology and a smile. Spend your money at any of the numerous better cafes within a 50 foot radius, and skip this tourist trap. read more

I have to say the recent places I've visited via Yelp reviews have been excellent. This is another location that has a specialty: cannolli. Their cannolli may be the best around. The outer shell is crisp and the cream filling is piped in on demand. However, the other star is the candied orange peel. That candied orange peel is going to blow you away. That's definitely made on the premises. I also had a great cappuccino. Easy 5 stars. read more

Cavalli Cafe - Excellent cannoli and candied orange peel. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Cavalli Cafe has quickly become one of my favorite North Beach cafes. Their "noss noss" is a top-quality coffee drink, one of the best the neighborhood has to offer, and the custard-filled almond croissants are downright dangerous. Together it's a one-two punch! For longer stays, try to secure a spot up on the mezzanine overlooking the street, superb for reading or time with a good friend. read more

This place is amazing! The atmosphere is inviting. Outstanding local Italian cafe that's open late and serves excellent cappuccino, cannoli, and tiramisu. The ambiance is cute and friendly. Definitely coming here again!  Coffee was medium dark and smooth. Homemade almond cake was slightly sweet and quite delicious. read more

Visiting, and stopped by for some fuel for the day. Exceptional service, and good product. Bought a chocolate croissant and demolished it before there was time to take a picture. So good!!!!!!!!! Thank you and I love you. read more

A nice cozy neighborhood jaunt with great coffee and small bites to make the most of a sunny weekend afternoon.

Freakin yum! The cannoli are filled to order and are delicious! We grabbed some cookies too, they were good but not quite as stellar as the cannoli. Highly recommend! read more

Cavalli Cafe - Fresh cannoli - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I must say that before coming in here, I have read previous reviews on Yelp about this place and was hesitant on giving this place a chance. From what I gathered, the owner here is finicky with Wi-Fi use and somewhat rude if you decide to stay here for a long period of time. Not only was I intimidated on ordering up something from the chalkboard menu, I didn't want to linger here for some odd hours to get some work done. Typically, my work tasks requires Internet usage and the chalkboard board menu had this written, "No Wi-Fi." While scanning over the simple menu with that labeled underneath, the owner/baker was waiting for me to get something. I was on my toes while ordering up their Cannoli and I didn't feel welcomed, but some sort of tension going on while he was preparing the Cannoli. There were no greeting or much of a smile. I ordered it to go and felt like it was a waste of $4.50 to just grab that and leave. Their Cannoli had a cinnamon crunch to it and a thick taste to their filling, but not compelling for me to order it up again and solely at this place. The service and perks needs to be changed around here if they want customers coming back. Oh well. Lesson learned - trust the Yelp reviews and your instinct about a place before entering. Thanks, Yelpers. read more

Fabulous way to finish a meal from Soto Mare with cannoli and coffee. Great place to bring friends visiting SF

You haven't had a Cannoli until you have one at Cavalli, they sure hit it out of the park with this one. I also got a little treat and wake up boost when I took the managers suggestion to order another one of their signature items off the menu "NosNos coffee". read more

The cannoli blew my mind. So good!! I saw the store when waiting for the bus so I checked the menu and decide to try their famous Cannoli. I'm glad that I decided to give it a try. The cannoli was so good and not overly sweet, the candied orange is amazing and the ricotta cheese filling is very generous! Highly recommend! I would come back to try the tiramisu and other things. The store's decorating is really cool too. There is just 1 pros that the Cannoli is quite expensive almost $10 for 1 read more

I've had a lot of cannolis now, but I guess I still haven't quite learned what differentiates a good cannoli from a great one. Crunch-wise, the shell here felt a bit less thick than those I've had down the street at Stella Pastry or Cafe Grecco. The bf liked the ones down the street more. Filling-wise, the one here was definitely less sweet (a plus for me) and more cheese-like (as opposed creamy) and fell apart in the way ricotta does. This was then topped with little chocolate pieces and garnished with some dried orange and in a little pool of orange oil. 3.25/5 for me. The tiramisu definitely did have more coffee flavor than most, so yay for that! But even then, it still felt like it fell short of what I want my tiramisu to be like. In terms of light and fluffiness with real lady fingers and an ample amount of cream (but nothing that weighs you down), it satisfies. Not sure I'd be back for it, but it wasn't bad. 3.5/5 read more

Great service! We found this spot on a rainy day, and it provided delicious treats and warm beverages. This was for a business trip. When I got back home to Southern California, I realized I did not have a copy of the receipt with the tip as it was a business expense.

Great place to have coffee, dessert and people watch! I think this was the third stop on the North beach food crawl back in February with Rodney H. After having 2 meals, the only thing I could stomach was dessert so we ended up at Cavalli cafe. We got the following and went upstairs to have a seat. Cannoli ($4.50) - Nicely fried pastry dough which was filled with ricotta cream. Sprinkled with some dark chocolate chips and drizzled lightly with a fruit syrup. I loved that it wasn't too sweet! Affogato ($4.50) - I needed a pick me up so I got the Affogato. Ice cream and espresso. How can you go wrong?! We sat upstairs at a table right by the window overlooking Stockton, Columbus & Green. Great place to enjoy dessert and some good conversation. read more

We went for a walk in Little Italy and stumbled upon Cavalli Cafe. We ordered cannolis and the tiramisu. The person behind the counter was very nice and the place was bright and looked recently renovated. Lots of people hanging out upstairs and down so we thought it must be good. There was fresh mint water and the tiramisu was delicious! read more

Great cannolis! They fill them fresh at the time you order so that the cannoli shells don't get mushy. (The other cannoli places around in SF have them prefilled, and the crust gets soggy.). The taste is as good as Brocato's in New Orleans and Modern and Mike's in Boston's North End. Highly recommend. read more
