    My family and I wanted to walk the Golden Gate Bridge and stopped here afterwards for a treat. Kudos to the workers here, they had non-stop lines of people for the hour we spent here. The workers were nice, the drinks were decent, and the view of course was beautiful. If you sit inside you can get some great photos of your drinks/food or yourself with the bridge in the background. When we got here there was no seating inside or anywhere to stand either. We sat outside and enjoyed our drink.

    I found this place on TikTok and decided to give it a try. I went early on a Saturday there's parking right next to the cafe and there's also an overload parking. This is next to the golden gate. There's a lot of walking paths as well as bikes. This place is busy and has a ton of tourists. It's nice and open you can see the menu as soon as you walk in. They have a pretty good selection of coffee and ready to grab orange juice. The prices were okay for there to be a lot of tourist it wasn't over priced. It does have the best view you'll ever want. Then you can walk around get your steps in with your coffee. There was a ton of bathrooms outside. We had a pretty good experience.

    I recently stopped by for an afternoon coffee pick-me-up while walking around the Golden Gate Bridge / the Presidio and was excited to try the Caramelized Banana Latte. This location is always super busy with tourists and locals alike but luckily the line wasn't too bad on a random Wednesday. The latte was great with a housemade banana spice syrup which reminded me of a banana version of a pumpkin spice latte. Love that it wasn't too sweet and the iced latte really hit the spot. This Equator location also sells warm paninis, salads, and breakfast burritos!

    It wasn't a cozy spot by any means, but it was functional if you happen to be walking on, around, or near the Golden Gate Bridge. On the upside, this coffee stop is a solid reuse of a historic 1938 circular Art Deco building. The surprisingly robust menu consists of coffee options, sandwiches, and light fare like avocado toast and quinoa bowls. Not remotely hungry, I came in here just before embarking on my windswept walk on the bridge. Surprisingly it wasn't packed with tourists, just lightly congested unfortunately with a touch of rudeness from both customers and staff. I don't know what encouraged the brusque behavior and curt interactions, but it made me want to minimize my time in here. I ordered the $5.50 Rooibos Chai Latte which satisfied my need for pre-hiking fuel (Photo 7). I'm not overly excited to return, but a future bridge walk might force me to change my mind. TEA - 3.5 stars...the rooibos was a nice touch AMBIANCE - 3 stars...cool building but a cacophony of sounds SERVICE - 2 stars...curt TOTAL - 3 stars...if you must RELATED - Exploring Treasure Island?

    Iced Habibi 10/10!

    The Ice Habibi completely won me over. It was refreshing, unique, and honestly one of the highlights of my visit. I also ordered the turkey panini, which was super delicious. The arugula added the perfect fresh, peppery flavor that really elevated the sandwich. On top of the food, the location is unbeatable. You get an incredible view of the Golden Gate Bridge while enjoying your meal, which just makes the whole experience even better. Great food, very nice staff, amazing drinks, and a view you can't beat!

    Found this cafe on Yelp when we were making our itinerary and chose it because it had the best view! We were right to come here, as the coffee was amazing! I had the matcha latte with strawberry cream top! My friend had one of the seasonal drinks (we can't remember rn but it was the one that wasn't an orange/citrus drink) and said it was good!! The pastries were very sweet and crispy! Though I wish there was an option to have them warmed up Servers were warm and friendly! They were even patient with other customers who I overheard were complaining about the wait time

    This coffee spot is at the beginning of GGB and a perfect spot to grab a drink! I got the Habibi latte was it was delicious! I loved the cardamom taste but wished the espresso was a little stronger! Service is super quick and friendly, and you get a great view on a sunny day

    We were told we had to stop by for a coffee after walking the Golden Gate Bridge, and it was the best recommendation. Not only was it a nice reprieve from the rain, but it has such gorgeous views of the Golden Gate Bridge. We were here in November, and it was surprisingly empty. But you could see the signs where it said it would be more than an hour wait for a drink. So definitely be prepared to wait in line to order and wait for your drink to be made during the peak tourist season. Few seating options - there's bar seating facing outward toward the Golden Gate Bridge. Otherwise, a few tables and that's it. Better for a grab-and-go when it's busy. But if you have the opportunity, it's super nice to relax at the bar and enjoy the view. We only got drinks, but their seasonal Red Velvet Iced Matcha Latte was decent. Didn't quite hit the flavors for my preference, but it still hit the spot. Overall, a good spot to get a quick snack or caffeine-fix. Nice to sit and relax if it isn't too busy.

    I am not a tourist I'm from the Bay Area, but walking across The Golden Gate Bridge was on my bucket list. I drive across all the time headed to my Dad's house in Daly City. This was my third bridge where I have walked. It was so many people out enjoying not only the bridge but the weather and lots of photos being taken. After parking I stopped in the Equator Round House for a cup of coffee and a turkey panini sandwich, both were great. I couldn't help but notice the gelato ice cream in the freezer near the counter. The bread used to make the panini sandwich was to die for. I look at San Francisco as being the French Bread Capital, it has some of the best. I started walking the view was super amazing I couldn't keep my eyes off the water. This was truly a one of kind experience.

    Cute cafe with an amazing view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Be prepared for a long line but the drinks and pastries with the view are worth it. The ube croissant was super yum and not too sweet!!! Boys loved the thick rich hot chocolate and I thought the brown butter caramel latte was delightful.

    What an incredible spot. Round House Café truly delivers one of the most iconic experiences in San Francisco, the views are absolute perfection, right by the Golden Gate Bridge. The coffee is excellent (featuring Equator Coffees), and their matcha latte is just as good. It's the perfect place to pause, whether you're grabbing a relaxed lunch, a light snack, or just soaking in the scenery. Beautiful, easy, and effortlessly memorable, a must-stop when you're in the area.

    Great location, beautiful views, delicious food, easy casual cafe great to stop by before or after walking the Golden Gate Bridge 9/10 Avocado Toast - the combination of ricotta and citrus oil was amazing 9/10 special beet/strawberry matcha - I really enjoyed it because it wasn't overly sweet and the flavors made the earthiness in the matcha come out

    Visited Round House Cafe for the first time on a weekday and it wasn't too busy at all. I recommend parking at the Battery East Trail lot and walking up--it's an easy stroll and avoids the congestion closer to the bridge. There was no line when I went in. I ordered an iced vanilla oat milk latte, which was just okay--not bad, but nothing memorable. Service was fast, which I appreciated. They have a mix of tables, high tops, and some outdoor seating, so there are plenty of spots to sit and take in the views. Overall, it's a convenient stop if you're sightseeing at the Golden Gate Bridge and want to grab a coffee without much wait.

Indeed the Twisted Street Cafe is one of my favorite all-time breakfast places in San Francisco. I moved back up two years ago. It was important to me to identify the best breakfast houses since breakfast is one of my most important meals of the day for me. I spent a couple weeks, trying out various places. In frankly was quite leery of anything on Lombard Street due to traffic, congestion, dirt and noise. And there were a few that I tried that were not worthy. When I came across the Twisted Street Cafe, I Immediately, I knew it was different. Small, boutique, but fresh fresh fresh food. This is the type of restaurant who remembers your name and I remember your favorite orders As an example, I was working from home and on a series of conference calls so I ordered Twisted Street Cafe from DoorDash. I clearly didn't pay attention to my order and it made a couple of errors on what my usual would be. They knew it was for me, somehow, and called me to verify if I wanted it done my regular way or the way it was came across their order. Of course I want it done the way I would normally have it, and I thanked them profusely for recognizing the mistake and helping to correct it for me. Their food is fresh. Their smoothies are incredibly tasty and fulfilling. They are located on the ground floor next to a very nice boutique hotel. I usually get takeout but on weekends, I'll choose to sit outside in the sun. Clearly, they have fantastic employees who are passionate about their job and really get to know their customers. Highly recommend Twisted Street Cafe for great food and consistency. 5-stars!!

Unfortunately the matcha was out of stock, but I opted for another green tea and the crab cake. It was raining the day I was there so I didn't end up using the pool.

I decided to come here for a full spa day as a treat on my birthday. I booked a massage and wanted to hang out and use all the amenities available. I left very disappointed. I booked a deep tissue massage. I expected a relaxing and meditative experience, and let my masseuse know that I struggle with shoulder pain from playing tennis for years. He proceeded to walk me through a sort of physical therapy session? Like, imagine doing the physical therapy exercises/reps for tennis elbow. I'm not sure if this is a normal thing to do during a deep tissue massage but it wasn't exactly relaxing. I also don't think it was very effective since those sessions are typically done multiple times. He barely worked on the rest of my body and only focused on my right shoulder. After he was done, he didn't give me any time to relax by myself before telling me to get dressed and that my hour was up. After my massage session, I decided to use the hot tub and relax in the lobby, which was fine. There were minimal complimentary refreshments compared to some other spas i've been to. I wanted to get ready for the rest of my birthday (dinner with friends) at the spa so I decided to wash my hair. I brought my own hair dryer and my makeup products. In the middle of my shower, the power completely went out. There was no announcement from the attendants about what was going on. They just continued on as usual. I rinsed my hair out (in the dark!) but it was still wet and needed to be dried immediately. After asking an attendant, they said the power goes off regularly and that they had no clue when it would be back on. If I had known this, I would never have tried to get ready at the spa! I might not have even booked there. I had to leave the spa early and go home because my hair was very time sensitive. I did not get comped. I didn't even get an apology. I walked out of the spa into the cold day with fully wet hair on my birthday. Definitely not worth the price point it's at and should come with a warning tag about the power outages.
