    Roast beef sandwich on sourdough and Bagel with Cream Cheese, Tomatoes and Avocado
    Sara M.

    A mom and pop, hole in the wall little sandwich shop - so so delicious! I came here alone and had the BLT, and came back a couple of days later and brought my husband. Delicious sandwiches and bagels and decent coffee and decent selection of bottled drinks/cans. and the owners are very friendly!

    Tuna on 9 grain bread (toasted)

    I had a show at The Great Star theater. I was hungry and had only 15 min before showtime. This was the closest to quick grab and eat. Fortunate for me even though it was past their 7 pm closing time, they still took my order and allow to eat there.. I got the tuna 9 grain bread. It was delicious and nicely toasted. The sandwich was perfect with curly lettuce and tomato. I got a small bottle of eater. I really haven't had a tuna sandwich since covid. My tummy was happy.

    Turkey sandwich on Dutch crunch with avocados.

    I've been going to Good Luck Cafe for 10 years, and it's always a solid choice. They use fresh ingredients and their dutch crunch is really good. They're inexpensive too. I normally get their turkey sandwich on Dutch crunch and add avocados. I've tried their other sandwiches and they're good too. Can't go wrong. It's a very tasty, filling and mostly light lunch. Always nice to support their mom and pop shop too.

    Consistent and generous Mom & Pop cafe - I've always called in the order and walked right over. Their Turkey, Bacon & Avocado on Dutch Crunch - YUM! Every single time. Perfect ratio of meats & veggies. While everything else during the pandemic on Kearny came and went, this might've been one of the three spots that actually stuck it out through it all and kept us "essential workers" fed for lunch.

    Turkey Breast Sandwich
    Sarah S.

    This sandwich was incredible! Maybe one of the best I've ever had and it was pretty basic. The fresh bread really took it up a notch. The turkey was delicious too, and all the condiments were just perfectly balanced and fresh. I ordered online and husband went to pick it up. Quick pickup and everything went great. Very affordable too. Definitely saving this to come back to. This is a top spot!

    Tropical fruit tea

    I have been eating at Good luck cafe on and off for 2 decades! I believe same owner, the same lady was behind the counter today. I went in today to order a honey ham sandwich and a tropical fruit tea. Just as I remember it, the best honey ham sandwich that I had tried anywhere!! I remember back in the old school days, it was cash only (not sure about now, I bought cash again), they made sandwiches, a few breakfast items and tons of snacks and ramen. They are still serving the all the above PLUS they have expanded their breakfast menu and coconut puddings. AND they have expanded into the bubble tea business with bobas, milk teas and smoothies. I hope Good Luck Cafe stays for many years. It's so nostalgic to me!

    Chicken Salad Sandwich
    Janice K.

    Happen to find this little gem while visiting. I'm glad i did. The sandwich's are so good! i had the chicken salad and hubby had the turkey on Dutch crunch rolls. The owners are kind and nice great service. I'll come back every time I'm here.

    Super convenient location in the financial district. The man at the counter was super friendly and helpful. They have lots of bagel and regular sandwich options. I got a breakfast bagel sandwich - bacon egg and cheese. It was freshly made! The boba I believe is homemade! They have great options for lunch as well as breakfast. You can eat in or take out. Very convenient!!

    Chicken Salad Sandwich
    Jenny X.

    Came here with a friend after Barry's and wow this place was unexpectedly great! Didn't expect much from a hole in the wall but the owner was super kind and super funny too. Good: - Super cheap prices for such large portions! Got so much food for $11 and I even added on avocado - Loved the chicken salad sandwich with Dutch crunch Bad: - Not a lot of seating inside Overall would definitely come back and try this again!

    Coconut puddings
    Teena N.

    First time here, Their strawberry milk tea is super refreshing and the best I have ever tried for a fruit milk tea. Friendly service, mini store and fresh sandwich. Next time, I would want to try their sandwiches. There's a parking garage close by.

    Menu board - $6 Sandwiches in SF
    Eric R.

    10/5 stars really Probably one of my top 3 sandwich spots when I used to work in SF. Cash only but don't let that deter you from a delicious, cheap, filling meal. This is a mom and pop shop (used to literally be the Mom and pop) but I think they changed a little over the years. I used to come here when sandwiches were $6. They're slightly more now but what isn't these days. Turkey, chicken salad, veggie, BLT, they're all great here. Make sure you get the Dutch crunch and you're set. There's a few tables to sit inside but I hardly ever did. Veggies are always fresh and bread is on point. Only bad thing I have ti day is the eel sandwich is a little out there. I may try again someday but something about eel/unagi with the typical sandwich toppings (mayo/mustard) wasn't doing it for me. Check this Spot out and you won't be disappointed.

    BLT Sandwich
    thrifted c.

    BACON EGG & CHEESE I tried the BLT & bacon egg and cheese sandwiches 10/10. A very nice man who made sure to ask us how our food was after the meal. Great service great food will be coming back

The wifi is pretty good, for those doing work there including being able to handle Zoom meeting. I've had their regular coffee and their Cortados, maybe one day I'll try one of their specialty drinks.

I've had tried their chicken and beef shawarmas, sharing them with friends, and those were better than I thought they'd be.

It has a very serene and relaxing atmosphere with a beautiful Pakistani and Middle Eastern inspired feel that makes it a nice little escape from the busyness of the city. I also enjoyed their desserts. They have a nice variety of cakes and other sweets, so there are plenty of options to choose from. Just expect them to be quite sweet. The service was decent and fairly self service. You grab your own plate, enjoy your food, and then drop everything off near the trash area when you are finished. The location is also a big plus. It is right in the middle of some of San Francisco's busiest streets and neighborhoods, with many popular sites within walking distance. Overall, it is a nice spot to slow down, enjoy some coffee and dessert, and take a little break from the city.

    Had a really bizarre and unnecessarily rude experience here today…read more When my coworker and I walked in, we were standing toward the front of the cafe and didn't realize we were in the wrong spot to order. Instead of just pointing us in the right direction, the person working gave us attitude about it. We apologized and explained that we thought we were supposed to stand where we were, and he responded with something along the lines of, "Well, the cashier is here, so you should be standing here." Just a weirdly hostile interaction over a very normal mistake. Then I ordered my coffee and asked for vanilla. He told me they didn't have any, so I said no problem and asked if they had another sweetener. His response was, "No, we don't. I don't do that here." I said, "Oh, okay, interesting," and he responded, "Yeah, that's why there are other coffee shops. You don't have to come here if you don't want to." I also asked for 2% milk, and again got a very curt "I don't do 2% milk," instead of just telling me what they did have. I happily switched to oat milk -- none of my requests were a big deal to me, and I wasn't upset that they didn't have what I originally asked for. It was entirely the attitude. Not sure why every interaction needed to come with so much sass, especially when we were being perfectly polite. Coffee was fine, but the service made the whole experience uncomfortable. Definitely won't be back, and if you're expecting friendly or welcoming service, I'd go somewhere else.

I ended up buying the Croissant De Saison ($5.00) to share: Almond streusel, strawberry-lemon verbena jam, almond cream +Unlike the typical croissant, it was covered in a crispy almond streusel, which was different, but in a good way! The croissant inside still maintained its flakiness. +Not too sweet: Filled w/a lightly sweetened jam +Compared to other bakeries in the city, I thought this was a good value. -Where was the almond cream??? -We couldn't taste the lemon verbena and thought the jam tasted like raspberry. Side notes: 1.) Indoor and outdoor seating 2.) Limited parking: It's walking distance from multiple transit stations, so would recommend that. *Verdict: Atypical French bakery with savory & sweet options and friendly service. The employee who helped me was patient and she answered questions I had about the items in the display cases. I'd like to come back earlier to dine in and try more of their offerings, such as the Pâté en croûte.
