Just finishing up my overnight oats. The fruit was visually appealing but the taste made it feel fizzy on my tongue and I had a few bites that tasted expired. The oats tasted like the smell of playdoh but the texture of the oats were quite nice. The young woman manning the cash register was pleasant and polite. Definitely a waste of $13. read more

On yelp it said they had Wifi here, but they do not! Not really conducive to studying/working here because it is a pretty small space. But, yummy food! There's also another location with the same menu on Fillmore, and a bakery location! About the food~ Avocado Toast: Delicious! We ordered it on gluten-free bread, and it tastes just like normal bread! Wasn't a fan of the jalapeños but the red onions, arugula, and egg made for good toppings! The avocado mash was a little bit brown (didn't affect the taste, though). Black Sprouted Rice Porridge Bowl (hot): This is also gluten-free! TBH, it was pretty bland. We added oat milk, honey, and cinnamon to it to try to sweeten it/add flavor. The granola was good and the rice was cooked perfectly, but I also wish there were more berries on top! Service was friendly and fairly quick. You order at the counter and then sit down. They also have a huge pastry case! I wanted to eat everything in it, but my friend and I ended up sharing the GF peanut butter cookie! It was chewy and had a nice crunch of peanuts spread throughout! If you are gluten-free, Jane is the perfect place to come! About a third of their baked goods are gluten-free, and they have gluten-free bread that tastes just as good as normal bread! Also, the sun shines pretty bright through the windows here in the morning, so if you're by the window, it may get a bit hot. read more

Jane On Larkin - Avocado toast and black sprouted rice porridge bowl (hot) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Jane on Larkin is an oasis in the TL. You will definitely step over waste land mines and dodge around meth smokers to get there, but it's a whole other world on the inside: the Cure on the sound system, well-crafted espresso drinks, and food that nourishes both body and soul. I especially appreciated the helpful duo at the register--kind, friendly, welcoming. The mocha was just right, too:beautifully presented, a nice balance of espresso and chocolate, and hot but not scalding. Thank you Jane! read more

Jane On Larkin - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I live in the city and in the neighborhood. I hadn't been here in about a year and have always had a good experience until last Sunday July 2nd. I met up with a friend of mine for a beverage and desserts to hang out and catch up. Both of us are self supporting, fixed income part of the LBGTQ community, very actively involved with communities, so going out to spend money is rare and a treat. We met up, at the counter paid, tipped in cash and sat and hung out for about thirty minutes by the window. We left walked elsewhere and when we tried paying for something I noticed my wallet was missing. We quickly came back and told a different person at the counter, I left my wallet. He smiled and said yes we have it. So he tells one of the barista Kitchen help to go in the office and get my wallet. She just stood there looking at him with her jaw open, surprised and hesitated to go. He says "yes go get it!" Very odd to be witnessing this. The young Asian woman with glasses who helped us with our order, was sitting at the counter on her break. I looked over and said hey, you helped me and I tipped you and left my wallet at the counter register by you. She just shook it off and said yeah, I told them to put in the office. I said my friend and I were sitting here for about 30 mins and you knew I left it and didn't tell me while I was here? She wouldn't even look up at me. It seemed like 5 mins to get my wallet back. They brought it to me in a bag and I looked to see if everything was there. I noticed $20 dollars was missing, I said well I was going to leave some money for keeping it, however it looks like someone has already helped themselves.. The guy just smirked and said well I asked if they were still here? I said, well my license is in here you could have seen myself and my friend were right here in front of the window for 30 mins. I definitely cancelled my cards as I don't trust them. I am very aware the economy is rough, and counter service people rely on tips and it's tough. But to purposely hold my wallet ransom, to extort more money, is wrong and bad energy.. We are hardworking people too, trying to support small businesses. But with that weird, toxic interaction my friend and I and others will not be returning. I work hard for my money, and with the world and society being bigoted, I'm not coming back here. I don't deserve to go into a business, having my property stolen, and be met with pretentious, narcissistic sociopathic toxic behavior. I did email you all last Sunday when it happened with my number as you should be aware of how some of your staff is, I got no response... It definitely was not like that when I came here a year ago or prior years. I am giving two stars for the beverages and food, but the stealing and withholding does not make me feel safe and coming back here again. read more

Three stars for the moist coffee cake and lovely coffee but the scones are stale and dry. The egg panini and croissant egg sandwich are just ok nothing spectacular....mostly greasy. read more

Modern cafe with adequate seating. I like the contemporary layout and aroma of the coffee with baked pastries readily available. Their chai isn't strong. Needs a lot more kick. A good place to chit chat and meet or do a bit of work...it's all up to you! read more

Food is great! Had the Happy Hippie Bowl (vegan), banana and peanut butter toast (vegan) and matcha latte with oat milk (vegan). All were ver delicious. Great customer service except for issues discuses below with noise. The location is not so good. Tenderloin area. Sketchy. It's the nicest restaurant in the area. Big almost floor to ceiling windows unfortunately overlooking sketchiness. The music was fine for the first 30 minutes or so then like most cafes and small restaurants, they started playing, loudly, hip hop. One song was just the "N" word over and over again. Awkward and inappropriate. I'm black and found it irritating, awkward and so inappropriate. And also, though the customer service was excellent, the staff behind the counter got super loud after a while. They were having a good time at the cost of a pleasant customer experience. I'm sure they weren't aware but I'm just sick of coming to cafes and restaurants with young staff too busy yammering on with one another that they don't know how loud they are AND how loud and/or inappropriate the music can get.... I'll try Jane on Fillmore next time since I really liked the food. read more

Jane On Larkin - Happy Hippie Bowl, banana and peanut butter toast and matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

The front side of the place is super discreet. Although I love Jane the bakery. This spot is more of a sit down spot with food items and a few bakery items. The savory quinoa porridge was quiet a surprise. Poached, egg, kimchi and kale. I could see myself making this at home. The Peruvian bowl left a little more to be desired. More salad dressing maybe. The chicken was marinated well but it was a healthy boring dish for me. I really enjoyed the ham quiche. The Swiss cheese was had a nice bite to it. Got a mocha latte on ice and it reminded me of chocolate milk with a hint of coffee. All in all a good spot if you want to get some brunch without a wait but I wasn't blown away by any of this food read more

Just like any other typical restaurant in the city, once they've become popular - they increased the price and reduced the quality of the food. My favorite pastry to get is their giant biscuit with load of butter and jam. See pictures below. They used to be a load of it, which you end up using a spoon because of the overflowing jam. That was 2 years ago and now it's just blah. Soon they'll be selling the biscuit without the jam, and just gives you small oz of jam in the cup. Back in the days owners will claim that they offer the same quantity/quality of food, but now that we have social media and take picture whenever we want, we can easily call them out with their BS. read more

I come here almost everyday. Super cute place friendly staff. Especially Damian batista is very very very great. Thank you read more

This is a public service announcement. Staff used wipes to clean things and areas that would be touched by staff and customers. I understand they are being vigilant about doling this. We were there this morning. It is usually a bustling place on Sundays. Not today while we were there. Nothing to add to my previous reviews about the food and service. We still go every Sunday. read more

I was so happy when I discovered this location. I used to go to Jane on Fillmore & the other one near Webster and loved both. This one is alway crowded if you want to eat in, but if you just want to pick up some coffee and fresh baked goods, the line moves pretty fast. My favorite here is banana bread! If you could get a loaf, grab quickly because they go fast. I was just there today around 10:30 this morning and could only get a slice, not the whole loaf. I ordered oat milk latte and my husband had a regular latte. We both agreed that it was just okay. If you want to dine in, get there early or before 10 so you get a table without having to wait long. read more

Very cute cafe. Great sandwich! I had the Jane club sandwich and a cold brew. Highly recommend

Ah I miss this place back when I used to live in the area. Great place if you're looking for some healthy brunch options. My go-to is a warm quinoa bowl with an egg on top. It's a large portion so it definitely keeps you full. So yummy! Definitely recommend their charcoal latte. Haven't tried their pastries but I hear they're pretty bomb. read more

Love this place but their to go stuff isn't the best. I've gotten the nicoise to go and it was super dry and they forgot to add dressing. Then I just got the salmon platter to go and they forgot the cream cheese and there's barely any salmon in here. Mostly just salad and veggies Review update: they gave me a whole new platter to go for the inconvenience read more

Neighborhood gem, always good service and their pastries taste fresh and are always good

I thought that the hyped avocado toast was very mediocre. Maybe I just got a not so great one. The avocado was bland, poached egg was NOT poached, it was well cooked. Salt was scattered in random areas. Bread was too dry. Definitely wouldn't order it again. Very crowded on a rainy day, so will be difficult to find seats. No wifi (but if you have an xfinity account then you can reach xinifity wifi). The baked goods all looked and smelled amazing so I will go back for those, and will come back with an updated review. read more

Jane On Larkin - Avocado toast - egg was too done! Not exactly poached with a runny yolk :( - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

The Larkin stretch of the Tendernob is so sadly lacking in any real options for hangin' out and chillin' that the sight of Jane from the Fillmore should have brought unfettered joy to anyone who has made a habit of strolling cautiously in the neighborhood. I know I was happy to see it take shape when I was walking home from a hearty bowl of tori paitan ramen at Mensho Tokyo. When I did return the following Saturday to check it out, the place was bustling with the staff barely keeping up with the line that was forming toward the door. Perusing the menu with some haste, I quickly decided on the $9 Avocado Mash for lunch with a $4 Cappuccino to chase it down. Amazingly I was able to grab an empty table right next to the gigantic pink floral mural (photo: http://bit.ly/2aGP9WG). On a thick slice of whole wheat toast was avocado, cracked black pepper, a poached egg, jalapeno, and pickled shallots topped with some arugula (photo: http://bit.ly/2a2js9N). It looked good, but the consistency was beyond moist where the avocado mash had turned the whole creation into an avocado mush. It was just not edible beyond a few obligatory bites, or more accurately, slurps. The cappuccino is what saved my meal as it came piping hot in one of their signature mugs (photo: http://bit.ly/2acLLSA). I nursed it so long I think I was starting to suckle. Regardless I know better to keep my choices to the more traditional fare on the menu like a Southwest Scramble or a Warm Quinoa Bowl. I saw smiles among the diners who ordered those dishes. Of course it could have been indigestion for all I know. Anyway, once I steel myself for another stroll up Larkin, I just might do that. FOOD - 3 stars...a mushy avocado mash saved partially by a fine cappuccino AMBIANCE - 3 stars...the space was amenable enough but it quickly crowds up on a Saturday afternoon SERVICE - 2.5 stars...honestly the least memorable part of my experience here TOTAL - 3 stars...no plain Jane but she does need a bit more bae to chill in this 'hood read more

I ordered a cobb salad and I've got to say I don't know how one can mess up salad, but this is probably the worst salad I've ever had. The chicken was rock hard and dry. There was a funny taste to the salad. I wanted to give it a chance but I am not ok. read more

**MODERN AND AIRY COFFEE HOUSE ON LARKIN** ABOUT ====== Jane opened on Larkin Street in March of 2014 where their bakery expanded. Their original location is on Fillmore.

COFFEE ======= CAPPUCCINO Nice latte artwork, but lacked strength. RATING: 3.5/5 My friend ordered a mocha with a home made marshmallow. Looked lovely. PRO TIP ======= They're famous for their Green Smoothie: spinach, kale, cucumber, green apple and lemon. Get it. OVERALL ======= Good spot for a light brunch and to meet a few friends.

Came by for coffee the other day and was thoroughly impressed! Despite being located in the sketchy Tenderloin, the interior is clean, airy, and rustic in a hipster SF kind of way. Their kitchen in the back is huge! Ordered the Iced Mocha and it was quite nice. Not too sweet, espresso was very smooth and they use Clover milk! Staff was friendly and restroom was relatively clean! $5 for an Iced Mocha! read more

I really liked the environment and I really liked the hospitality of the staff, but I wasn't too big of a fan of the coffee :( I want to give it the benefit of the doubt and say that it's because I had my latte with soy, but I felt like it was a little watered down. I also had the coffee cake and it was rock solid. I kept stabbing the cake with the fork but it would not come apart. I asked the staff if they could heat it up for me, and the worker didn't seem too happy about it. They brought the cake back to my table and it was finally easy for my fork to slice through, but there was no taste anymore.... I really don't want to complain about Jane on Larkin. For this cutty-ass area, this coffee joint is pretty legit. But I am not a fan of paying for watery coffee and rock cake. I want to give this another try one day. read more

Jane On Larkin - Soy latte and coffee cake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I order delivery from here all the time and it never disappoints. The French toast is great ! Just so good. Salads are fresh and healthful. However, why oh why is the salad dressing for the "healthy salad" which contains avocado slices, why is the dressing a small container of guacamole ?? Guacamole tastes horrible as a salad dressing. Please change this to anything else. If you have to spoon out globs of something over salad it's not a dressing urs. Will continue to order here, I love Jane and her mother is a very nice lady with lots of style, San Francisco treasures ! read more

I had really high expectations for Jane on Larkin after Jane on Fillmore and it was just what I've rated it as "OK." I ordered an Asian Chicken Salad and it was fine but nothing to write home about. At $20 I considered it to be pretty steep for what it was; unfortunately, the chicken got really weirdly hard by the time I boxed my remainder that I didn't finish and took it home (20 minutes tops). read more

I stayed in SF for a few days and saw this place was recommended for coffee so I stopped by and had a iced vanilla latte and a ham and cheese croissant. Very very good. I got a coffee from somewhere else the next day and I told myself "I should have just gone to Jane on Larkin again." My drink was so simple yet so tasty. Friendly staff and very clean and quiet in there. I would definitely visit again when I'm back in SF! read more

Randomly happened onto this coffee joint while going up the street for some pastries. We had some time to kill and wanted a cup of joe. My husband ordered a regular coffee for us to share and we spent about 30 minutes there. The place looks very industrial modern with metal chairs. It took us a long while to figure out this place's name. The coffee was very tart and we did not enjoy it. We noticed that a lot of people ordered breakfast items and those actually looked pretty good. I saw some oatmeal/yogurt items and one lady ordered a breakfast sandwich that looked pretty huge. Not sure if I would return for coffee but I would for breakfast if I was ever in the area. Street parking. Public transportation. One restroom. read more

Jane is one of my favorite local coffee/cafe spots in SF for its versatility. This place has "something for everyone," and is great for breakfast/lunch/brunch/a snack. There's an extensive menu list of sandwiches, salads, breads, and pastry case items (from Jane the Bakery) Tip: Jane on Larkin location has the best brunch menu, with items like the Tenderloin Benedict that aren't available at the Fillmore location. My go-tos are: any of the healthy salads (the portions are quite large) including the Chinese Chicken Salad (so fresh and satiating), the egg white sandwich, and the gluten free quinoa bread with honey butter and house-made jam (thickly sliced and toasted...so delicious). Seating is limited, though, and the place can get quite busy! read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in the Tenderloin. I usually walk over, there is limited street parking or garage parking. I like getting lattes and the Crazy Cookie $2.25. Recently I got: Banana & Dulce de Leche croissant (per sign) - I thought it was gonna be crunchy and flaky Kouign Amann, but it tasted pretty doughy, dulce de leche not sweet enough for me. I probably won't get it again. Kouign Amann - ate it at home re-heated, I liked it ok. Not as good as Starter Bakery or B Patisserie, decent though. Blueberry, lemon poppyseed frangipane croissants - I thought was pretty good. I might get it again. They serve sandwiches and salads, I think breakfast stuff too. You can charge it here.

During this quarantine, all I want is a warm and fresh bowl of veggies. I'm so happy Jane is offering their warm quinoa bowl. It is simple, yet tasty, and you can order it for delivery! Filled with quinoa, brussel sprouts, and sweet potatoes, this dish hit the spot for me. I don't even like sweet potatoes and normally pick them out of my dishes but I ate most of them in this one. Support small businesses like this one during this time of quarantine. It's safer than going to the grocery store, and helps support the community. read more

Happy, happy to find Jane on Larkin just a couple blocks downhill from my hotel on Sutter and Larkin. Have been to Jane on Fillmore on previous trips to San Francisco, so pleased to try this location. A cappuccino with almond milk and a mashed avocado toast to eat in, a blueberry scone to go. Everything hit the spot. Looking forward to trying more on the menu and in the pastry case! read more

This place is one of those puzzling places with really "nice" food that has great healthy and fancy ingredients, but somehow the food ends up tasting not that good...? We came here for weekend brunch and ordered the avocado toast, since that seems to be a popular thing nowadays. The toast was too thick and I just didn't care for the taste of the dish! We also ordered a cold rice/grain dish that I can't remember the name of.... I think it was probably prepared cold to preserve all the nutrients or some fancy reason like that. But we all agreed it would have tasted better warm. The bits of fruit in it were nice though. So overall, the atmosphere of this place is lovely, modern, clean and the food LOOKS beautiful but the taste falls short. read more

The space is nice and open, staff was pleasant. We sat at the bar and it wasn't overwhelmingly busy, as mercifully we were enjoying lunch on a weekday. I'm guessing that it gets a bit cray on weekends. My Cobb salad was pretty good, bacon could have been more luscious but I enjoyed the homemade Italian vinaigrette. If I may be nitpicky, I was disappointed in what I felt was careless preparation of my salad (and SF priced salad of course). You'll see in the photo that my avocado looked rather unappetizing, as part of the outer skin was left intact. Egg was clearly overcooked as well, exemplified by the depressingly gray tinge. Will come again and hope for a more lovingly prepared meal next time. Salad wasn't mind blowing but it was good enough to have another return visitor. read more

Great service and ample menu. A great place to take a pit stop, grab a cup of coffee and a quick bite. I had the chicken salad sandwich which was divine, toasted to perfection to give it that wondrous crunch. I got an iced matcha latte. On the menu it says iced matcha. The matcha came in a big pitcher premade. I was very hesitant upon seeing that and it not mixed in front of me; however, in pouring the matcha concoction with almond milk, it turned out to be quite tasty. Loved the spot, definitely used the flower wall as a backdrop. If I lived in SF, I would be in more often. read more

I really like the pastries at Jane the Bakery but my last visit to their outlet on Larkin was a huge disappointment. We got a ham and cheese croissant and a chocolate croissant to go. One for me and one for my friend. When we got home later, we were pretty frustrated to see that our chocolate croissant had been mistakenly replaced by another ham and cheese. I'm just glad my friend wasn't vegetarian. It didn't help that the pastries weren't particularly fresh that day either. So not a great experience but these things happen. What was worse is that we reached out to let them know of the mixup but never heard back. Super disappointing. read more

Trendy and casual cute cafe on the edge of a not so cute neighborhood. The place has limited seating, mostly of tables for 2 and max of 4. There is also a row of high-top seating around the kitchen workstation. I ordered the black rice porridge. This was good! It was soaked in coconut and almond milk, topped with goji berries, some kiwi slices, and a heaping amount of granola. The portion was huge, mainly because of the granola. Wish they would've added more fruit or rice, and less granola -- didn't feel so healthy with all the sugary aftertaste. Suggest getting this to share. I did love how unique this item was! My friend got the quinoa bowl with kimchi, almonds, poached egg, and some greens. Same thing here -- very tasty, just an immensely disproportionately large amount of quinoa as filler. Coffee was just okay. Would come back to try their pastries that looked yummy! read more

I've been wanting visit Jane for a while... seeing their insta pics suggested this place would be another must. After getting my Cruffin, I went directly to find the other bakery heaven.... I really love the design and ambiance of this place, filled with aroma of coffee and pastries and the floral wall. However, I didn't have a lot of time, so I just grabbed a citrus Brioche, coffee, and a PB toast to-go. I was so sad that they didn't sell loaves on that day... after trying their toast, I definitely will come back for buy a loaf of their levain bread! I also want to try their brunch items, they all look delicious and healthy! read more
