    Peanut Butter Latte
    Jeanie M.

    This is a charming spot for coffee, smoothies, baked goods, breakfast sandwiches and more. Staff were sweet. Prices were reasonable. The restaurant was spotless (and quaint/small). There's counter seating along the window inside. Tables and chairs are available outside. Food was fresh and good.

    Super cute, cozy cafe in lower nob! Stopped by on a saturday morning for breakfast -- decent amount of seating outdoors, but limited tables inside. Lots of coffee, plus different bagels and sandwich options. ordered the following: - matcha latte: quite good and foamy top - the ultimate: this breakfast sandwich was incredible. very flakey croissant, flavorful, filling. the avocado was fresh, and the sauce was delicious - blueberry muffin: fluffy w plenty of blueberries Prices were very affordable and the staff were so friendly. Will definitely be a staple spot for me

    Crostini & Java. I am still glad that i got to stumble upon this cafe. The sandwiches are made with precision and care. Delicious! Their smoothies are amazing! The strawberry smoothie kept me coming back again and again. The owner and the ladies are quite friendly and happy folks. But mind you, this place gets real busy. They have very very limited sitting space including the outdoor sitting so it is on you. lol. Not too pricey at all. Whoever wandering around the city of San Francisco, please welcome! Morning coffee with a spoon of collagen? Early brunch with a smoothie? You get the idea. I am sure you won't be disappointed as much!

    Super cute corner shop that is really small but offers a variety of items on their menu. They serve breakfast and lunch items all day!! Service: 5/5 Friendly, quick, and efficient service. You'd order at the front and the employees will call your name once your order is ready or come outside to give it to you if you're seated outside. Food: 4/5 French lavender latte - Creamy and strong but I personally lavender was a bit too overwhelming. Smoked salmon and eggs croissant - A little too oily to my liking and small amount of eggs inside, but it was so flavorful that I actually enjoyed it.

    My brother, Lane and I stumbled upon Crostini & Java on our first day in San Francisco on the way to Swans Oyster Depot. We already got coffee that morning, but it was definitely something I wanted to come back and check out since the line was out the door. We came around 11am debating if we were just going to get coffee or also grab something to eat. Since we were short on time we decided to get two sandwiches and eat it there. I had the salmon cream cheese croissant with an iced peanut butter latte and Lane ordered the california crunch with salmon and a hot mocha. I loved the flavor of the peanut butter latte, but there were many sips where I had straight peanut butter. Wasn't a problem, but definitely a bit too much sometimes haha. Lane and I decided to split half half on his sandwiches. Both were humongeous I only ended up eating half of the one I ordered. Delicious and satisfied. Lane mentioned how good his sandwich was and was adding sriracha mayo to it. I had fomo just watching him eat it cause it looked so good. It is very tiny in there with limited seating, but very intimate and homey feeling. Would definitely return if I was ever in the area!

    Breakfast sandwich

    I wanted to grab a quick coffee and breakfast sandwich and came across this one on Yelp. There is no parking. We had to circle the block before I decided to get out And order while he looked for parking. It's a small location. There's were people waiting outside while they waited for their orders. They have 2 tables with seating outside that were taken at the time and a bar sitting inside near an open window. I placed an order for a large caramel macchiato and a smoked salmon and cream cheese on an everything bagel. The coffee came out with in 5 minutes but the sandwich took about 10 minutes. The coffee was soft in taste. The bagel sandwich was ok. The salmon was primary in one area because I took a couple of bite with no salmon. It was a 3/5.

    Would 10/10 come back! The ultimate sandwich was amazing. Was easy to eat, the sauce was incredible, and very filling. Food came out pretty quick, despite the line.

    This little spot is well lit, on a busy corner, but it's the perfect hideaway to sit and sip and watch the world hurry by. I ordered a matcha latte and a pain au raisin. Both were perfect and just the taste I was looking for. This place makes a morning in Nob Hill the beginning of a great day.

    Crostini & Java has become my go-to spot whenever I need a quick pick-me-up during my lunch break. I always (and happily) get The Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich -- it's seriously SO good. I usually substitute the meat for chicken and swap the maple sauce for rosemary aioli, and it's perfect every single time. The staff is always so kind and welcoming, and the service is quick and efficient, which is perfect when I'm on a break. They also have a punch card program -- if you buy 9 coffee drinks or 9 lunch sandwiches, you get the 10th free, which is such a nice touch. Such a cozy little spot I'm really grateful to have nearby. Highly recommend!

    What I appreciate is that the prices are not outrageous so i will support any business that keeps it real in SF nowadays..

    The Works Bagel

    Cute small corner cafe with a small amount of indoor and outdoor seating. The sandwich menu is huge and everything sounds yummy! Lots of coffee and smoothie options too. I got the works bagel which came on an everything bagel and had bacon egg avocado and a really good maple dijon sauce! Super big portions and very flavorful and fresh. The sauce was delicious. Reasonable prices too. Service was super friendly and the food was ready quite fast. Would definitely come back for a quick breakfast or lunch!

    Pumpkin Spice Latte
    Heather D.

    Popped in here on my morning walk finally to grab a coffee and, obviously because it's turning into the season, i got a Pumpkin Spice Latte. It was absolutely perfect, and despite it being a busy Sunday morning, it still came out pretty quickly. I will for sure be coming back to grab a quick breakfast here as well, but on the go for sure, there isn't a ton of seating for long term but enough for a quick bite. All in all, such a cute and cozy little spot!

    Eric D.

    I am so glad we stopped in today this was probably so far the best sandwich I've had in SF. The aeoli is so good and everything is home made and fresh. The lavender latte was amazing and flavorful and the owner greeted us and you could tell the passion he had for his business and the food. I asked for extra sauce and I'm glad I did because it was absolutely delicious. The lemon almond scone was also fantastic. If I lived or worked nearby I can guarantee I'd be a regular! I may have to come back again before we leave absolutely delicious!

Service: The baristas were extremely friendly and diligent on getting drinks swiftly made to order, while also being knowledgeable and helpful with questions on the menu. Wait time: Less than 10 minutes between ordering of food / drink and it being ready when going at 10am on a Sunday. Matcha: The Velvet matcha had a good matcha flavor without being overly sweet and a good balance between ice and actual drink. The matcha foam that goes on top is also not excessive while providing a more deep flavor profile that the actual drink lacks a little in. They do also have lids on a side table to allow for you to take your drink on the go with both a straw option and sip lid built into the same top. The matcha crepe cake was okay but did not really have a strong matcha taste to it and the crepes themselves were not very flavorful either. For Presidio Heights, Q Specialty Coffee is a solid tasting matcha with plenty of natural lighting and a great place to catch up with friends or colleagues while enjoying a beverage.

Definitely go early to get everything fresh, but you probably won't run into a line if you don't. Highlight of the menu was absolutely the kouign amann - it was so buttery and flaky with this caramelized sticky sweet inside, rivaled in my eyes only by the Arsicault one. We also got the seasonal one (raspberry and guava) which was also really good. The passion fruit bostock was also interesting with this spongy cakey texture with an almond topping. The banana chocolate almond croissant was another favorite of mine, it's also such a unique item and definitely a must order. We sat inside at a table so we could eat some of the pastries right away which I highly recommend - everything lost freshness after a few hours and I probably wouldn't get anything from here again with the intention of eating it later. They have a ton of cakes too, tried the chocolate mousse cake, the berry cake, and the passionfruit orange and guava cake. The chocolate mousse was my favorite and runs on the sweeter side compared to other chocolate mousse's I've had. The other two are also amazing and have a bunch of different layers. I also tried the prosciutto burrata and cherry tomato tartine - an open faced sandwich basically - which tasted good but was kind of difficult to eat, either with hands or fork and knife. Would definitely come here again both because what I tried was so good and there are so many other things there I'd want to try.

The fish sandwich was decent, the cheese was cold but the fish was nice and flaky. I wish the fish skin was a bit more crunchy but I did like the slaw and sauce on it. 6.5/10 The pork one was soooo good and juicy. The crust was super crunchy and surrounded by the soft bread was such a nice texture. There was a sweet sauce which balanced the sandwhich nicely. Would get again! 8/10 We also saw the Japanese breakfast bento which looked realllly good and the salmon with matcha broth that others ordered and would def come back to try those!

It's a solid assembly line operation they got going.
