Not a fan - good service, but food was not great. My eggs Benedict came very plain! Just the two Benedict on a plater with nothing else - and the hollandaise sauce was too lemony and over priced. Ok, it is SF, so maybe that is just what you get - but $50 for breakfast... yikes! read more

Above and beyond service , great food, and plenty of street parking. Will be returning.

I've come here for years with my kids. Mike is the absolute best. The kids love the pancakes and I've never stirred away from the Country Breakfast. read more

Great comfort food with a little bit for everyone. The owner is incredibly friendly and quickly gets to know what regulars like, children included. Diamond Cafe is an integral part of what makes Noe Valley a pleasure to live in. read more

We dropped by Diamond Cafe a few hours before our flight while visiting some friends in the area. We were a bit in a rush so we're looking for something quick but still wanted to have a proper breakfast before heading out. Diamond Cafe was a perfect choice! The owner was super friendly and helpful, accommodating any ask we had for our group of 6 adults and 4 young kids. The food came out super quick and was really delicious. I had the vegetarian omelette and my wife had the bagel with hummus, both tasted great and were very well prepared. We were obviously a bit in a rush but it looked like a great neighborhood hangout I'd you have more time to enjoy a laid back breakfast or brunch. We saw some folks nibble on their brunch while being immersed in their book. Food and atmosphere were great but the excellent service alone deserves 5 stars for sure! read more

This place is good and service it good. I found a hair in my food and they replaced everything immediately. I ordered a Denver omelet and a crepe which is too much food for one person as portion sizes are huge. A meal for two cost around $55 which is a lot. Granted we ordered 4 dishes and coffees so you can get less but flavor is a win as is customer service. There is a tiny bathroom in the back you can use. The place gets busy around mid morning so I would come before to enjoy a relaxed meal. read more

Diamond Cafe is a Cozy Cafe in Noe Valley. The Owner is Extremely Nice. You will Notice Him Taking Orders, Bussing Tables, Etc. It's Easy to Tell that He Loves what he does and takes Pride in His Business. I Recommend their Mimosa Special 2 for $10.00 and their Bagels! Def worth a Try if You Haven't Already. read more

I stopped in for a quick bite and got oatmeal and coffee. The man running the place was so nice. I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast, which came with fresh fruit. The oatmeal and coffee were hot, and the fruit was fresh. I would come again for sure, and enjoy their cute patio space. read more

Great service and great food. Priced accordingly for the area. Outside seating was also clean and nice.

Fantastic crepes, good Italian-style cappuccino (I generally prefer third-wave style cappuccino, but when I want foam-topped espresso, this is the place I go). read more

I finally found a decent cup of espresso in Noe Valley! And as a bonus, it's cheaper than most: $2.45 for a single shot. Nice staff, served in a ceramic cup, and not sour. I don't ask a lot of my espresso but every other place I've been in Noe Valley is either sour or served in paper. Diamond Cafe got it right. read more

Good food decent atmosphere. Got the Huevos Rancheros and while nothing to write home about it was pretty good. My biggest issue with this place is the no laptops/no wifi rule (which is fine tbh) but why is it showing up at the top of my search when I'm looking specifically for a cafe with wifi? Not sure why it's doing this but I'm certain it's the number of reviews that say no wifi and yelps archaic search only understands basic search terms and nothing complicated like filtering out reviews that are in the negative. I gave it three stars which it deserves it's a basic cafe nothing more but I seriously considered dropping more for showing up and ordering only to find out that I can't get any work done here read more

Yelp says vegan options available...think again, went here and was informed I could have salad and of course a latte.

Really good food! Super nice staff. Kinda pricy. I paid 44$ for two sandwiches. One was their special and the other was chicken, with a soda and a hot tea. read more

Disappointing. The Eggs Benedict were the worst I've ever had. Everything was pretty much raw. The English muffin was not toasted, the ham was hardly cooked, and the eggs were too runny, even though they should be a bit runny. Plus there was no usual tomato. Also the service was poor and it wasn't clear if we were supposed to go inside and order or if we were going to be waited on. I asked and the guy said he would come out but he never did, so we finally went inside and ordered. It wasn't a very busy time either (12:30 pm on a Saturday). read more

This is my first time here. Recommended by my boyfriend. I ordered the number 4 bagel and the tropical smoothie. Fast service. Very nice people. There were kids out from school doing their homework. Cute little quiet place. Clean. Some seating outdoors in the sun. Lot of tea options. read more

Diamond Cafe - Number 4 Bagel! Smoothie was yummy - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

I think this is a really nice café, though probably not amazing enough for me personally to rate it as a favorite 5-star place. A friend and I ended up getting breakfast / brunch here after foolishly thinking we could show up down the street at Griddle Fresh for a late brunch without waiting an hour TT__TT. So sad, sighhh. But Diamond Cafe was a pretty good backup. First, parking in the neighborhood in Noe Valley isn't super difficult to find, so that was super convenient to start. Second, this place wasn't completely crowded around 11:30 on a Sunday morning, but was definitely buzzing. They have quite an extensive menu, and are super nice. Personally, I got the Chorizo Scramble, which came with potatoes and tortillas. My friend got the Chicken Pesto crepe. I kinda wish I got a bit more food with the scramble, but regardless, it was really delicious and filling *enough* so that I wasn't sad lmao. My friend's chicken pesto crepe was DELICIOUS though. Would probably recommend that. Anyway, I had a good solid breakfast/brunch here. Would definitely come back for a lowkey morning. It's a nice shop. read more

Food was ok. Nothing special and kinda pricey all things considered. There's a sign at the counter informing customers about there is no WiFi, no laptops are allowed, and there is a 1 hour time limit on tables. This ruined the entire experience for me. I felt rushed before I even ordered. A cafe should be a welcoming place one can feel comfortable staying at in a leisurely manner. read more

Great neighborhood spot right on Diamond. Tried two basic things Pancake breakfast with eggs and bacon: pancakes were kind of dry. Croissant french toast with chicken apple sausage and eggs: french toast was great, but man, croissant french toasts?! YES. Love it. The chicken apple sausage was great too. The egg whites I got were kind of mangled. So all in all, I'd try something like this again even though this one was a little odd. Pastries from City Baking (?) in the case in front. Looks tasty and will go back and try more. Takes credit cards. I have hopes of trying other stuff but for now I'll give it 3 stars. Street parking. read more

Popped into this spot for a quick brunch. Quant spot with friendly staff. Gives a home vibe. Food comes out quick. Has alcohol. I encourage you to stop in. It is small so five or six small tables inside and a couple outside. Not ideal for large parties but good for a friend or two. I'll be back. read more

This is a sunny, delicious corner cafe. I like it because it close but not too close to the busiest parts of 24th Street. Less traffic, walk-able, and easy parking if you are driving. They are a small business and have great staff. Our favorite is the chicken pesto crepe. They are still open during COVID for counter service. You can find a spot to eat in park up the hill. read more

Went for brunch with my best friend here this morning. Can I just say, delicious! I understand why it has such good ratings. This is a very small cute cafe with probably about 10 tables inside and 4 outside. They have pastries right at the front for you to see, quite a few things jumped out on the menu at me and sounded yummy. I got the Croissant Sandwich and my friend got the lox bagel. This croissant was the fluffiest and tastiest I've ever had and they scrambled ham, egg, and cheese together inside of the croissant. Came with some fresh fruit which was a perfect end to the breakfast. My friend kept raving about the salmon on the lox bagel talking about how fresh it had to have been for it to taste that amazing. The Orange Juice definitely shouldn't be missed because they fresh squeeze it each day and it has heavy pulp, and has beautiful flavor. There was just one gentleman at the counter taking orders and making drinks while tending to the customers sitting down. And others in the back making the food I believe. Extremely polite, talked with us for a bit about what was really tasty and worth trying. The outside tables are perfect right around noon because the sun is shining right down the road perfectly so you stay warm and get a breeze. Definitely worth stopping and checking out. read more

Diamond Cafe - Croissant sandwich and lox bagel. Orange juice is freshly squeezed each day. Delicious. - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

The man there in the morning greets me with a smile and positivity. He is a bright light who knows the value of any and all customers. Love the coffee, too. Thanks for being so warm and welcoming -- and okay when I was a few cents short one day. read more

This is one of my favorite spots in Noe Valley. Mohammed and staff are genuine and friendly. I always feel welcome. The food is great and also generous in size- in particular, my vote goes to the country scramble: the proportion of egg, cheese, and veggies (plus chorizo if you want it) is well balanced, and comes with a hefty side of potatoes and a tortilla. Service is responsive and it's also is a fun place to people watch and often has a neighborhood "buzz". With respect to the comments about price from some of the posts, we live in one of the most expensive cities in the world at this point and restaurants have to pay their bills too. I've had mediocre eggs down the block for almost as much and with none of the perks of the Diamond Cafe. For me, I'd rather support my local, and have great food, for an additional buck or two. This place makes Noe Valley feel more like a neighborhood. Five enthusiastic stars to the Diamond! read more

Perfect spot for brunch, crepes, or a salad. Delicious food, friendly owners, amazing location. Highly recommend.

They are the best place for breakfast and lunch in Noe Valley! Great customer service and super friendly staff, Michael and Gaby plus their staff are awesome. read more

So glad this place exists. No pretension, just neighborly kindness, good food, and a perfect low-key corner café ambiance. Long live Diamond Café! read more

Reasonably priced, delicious, friendly service--what else could you ask for? My favorite is the Huevos Rancheros and a fresh squeezed orange juice--always hits the spot. read more

Diamond Cafe - Huevos Rancheros & Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice. - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

An absolutely adorable corner diner that embraces the very image of an SF hillside smalltown local hotspot. If I lived down the street, I would come here every morning for coffee/breakfast and read a book or browse the internet like an urban hipster. I had the salmon scrambler with lemon cucumber water (free), both unique in its own right. Scrambler includes cream cheese and smoked salmon made with egg and comes with a couple breakfast sides of your choice. Portions will leave you satisfied but not bloated. Owner is a sweet man and just what you expect from a local mom and pop. read more

Well, I had baby number 2.. And between the last months of pregnancy and now her first 3 months of life. I have visited Diamond Cafe more than a handful of times.. Mochas are awesome, and there always seems to be butter croissants when I want one for my older daughter- even when I'm buying the last one. I have had the NY coffee cake twice now- wow.. Not too sweet, with big delicious chunks of crumble topping. Mohamed, the owner, is always friendly, asks how the family is, or says hello to my sometimes shy 3 year old when she's with me. Very pleased they are in my neighborhood. I still need to try the breakfast plates. read more

Really nice breakfast. They easily made my eggs Benedict to a veggie option ( they should put it on the menu) $15 per plate. The atmosphere is friendly casual and service was prompt. Eating outside was a treat and if you have a dog bring it along! read more

Overpriced mediocre eats. This place will get you by if you're starving, but you'll cringe as you pay, 'cause yo' mouth ain't gonna thank you. read more

We had a craving for crepes and came to this cafe around noon for brunch. The crepes were cold and stale. When we asked the cashier, she said they make all their crepes in the morning and use them throughout the day. If you want made to order, still warm crepes, this place is not it. read more

Good simple no frills cafe. Food a basic but good. Nice location - great to get some over tea and enjoy the sun read more

Average at most. Seems like there's a lot of other places offering a better selection. Ordered the veggie scrambled egg and was fine but nothing fantastic. The smoothie was good. If you want a place that does the basics then this place is okay. read more

Cute cafe with amazing breakfast. I think this place must have just opened. It's just a matter of time until there is a brunch line out the door. The couple that runs this place is super cute, friendly and accommodating. Great outdoor space with 4 tables. Coffee is awesome + they have almond milk. P.s. They cooked the eggs perfectly. Skip Chloe's and come here. You won't be disappointed. Unless, you like waiting in line for an hour. read more

Horrible food; dirty cafe; low effort in preparation and service. How can they ruin such a simple item as Greek salad? They can!

OK food, nothing special. Not a lot of it and light on the sides. The outdoor patio is indeed nice and it's at a bus stop. Open early and kid friendly. It was more the atmosphere of the place that turned me off - lots of signs explaining what we couldn't do. No using cups for water. No taking coffee to go. No computers. etc. Also, the prices on Yelp are very old - not a bargain anymore read more

Been meaning to try this place every time I walked down 24th street from Philz Coffee and finally tried it last week. Little did I know this was a whole new establishment altogether! My smoked salmon scramble was lovely, accompanying salad fresh and delicious. My girl friend agreed (she had the veggie scramble with a side of fruit). Our drinks were tasty too - coffee for me, chai for her. After we were done grazing, we decided to hang out a little longer to do some work. The owner was really nice and gave us the wifi password with no problems. Ended up closing the place down and he was so chill about it. Aside from all this awesomeness the cafe gets tons of sunlight too. Going back today to enjoy it again! read more
