Bruh. We went here mainly because it was close to a free item pickup from Buy Nothing and I might become a regular now depending on my wife's mood. But mainly because this place is CHEAP AF and you get the same high quality in breakfast. I always get like pancake, hash brown, French toast vibes. So it's not like they can screw that up. It's an old couple that is running behind the bar. One regular said bye to Joe which was an old Asian man. So sick that it's super local and intimate. It's kind of small in here so not sure how popping it gets. But if you're nearby - go here because it's GOOD VALUE. read more

Joe's Coffee Shop - Sitting at the bar just hits different. Look at our receipt. You know it's fire when the receipt is like that - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is a hole-in-the-wall coffee shop/breakfast spot that serves American styled breakfast and Chinese appetizers/food. I personally like these types of places because if I ever want pancakes and wonton soup, they can serve both to me. Friendly service. Cash only. Located on Geary Blvd between 25th and 26th Avenues; steps away from Trad'r Sam. read more

They have the best hashbrown (non greasy). Crunchy, potatoes. I had 2 sunny side up eggs, 2 sausages, hash brown, added side order of pancakes, came in 2, was fluffy. The owner said costco ran out of eggs. I wonder how he got eggs. He jokingly said, "from his chickens." He said the eggs are about a dollar each. I'm going to start a trend, donate $5 for eggs to them. He said, if he doesn't get eggs, he will retire. These mom and pop shops will be like dinosaurs, extinct. I would say, run , get your breakfast now. He still have prices from the 80's . My breakfast cost $ 17 without tips. Go figure. I've eaten somewhere else fancy, it cost $30 out the door. It was a great breakfast to start my day. No thrills, just good old fashion breakfast.. read more

Always wanted to try this place and finally did so today. We snagged the 4 seater by the window that gave us a straight line view into the chefs, score! I love the old time feel of this place run by a small family, mom, dad, and son. They have breakfast food and Chinese food too, what a great combination. Restaurant was packed today and seats were immediately filled after other patrons left. Come to Joe's, it's an old time establishment! read more

Food was good but not good enough to go back. Portion sizes were small compared to American breakfast places. Large oj definitely did not taste freshly squeezed. I was wondering if it was bottled, it did not taste freshly squeezed. $4.50 for a large oj that wasn't fresh or very large. Prices did not match the portion sizes. It was too pricey for the portion size and I think there are other options, I was left still hungry. read more

Firstly, this was a very hard place to find parking due to the area. However as me and my friend group walked in, we were met with old school cozy vibes. We scanned the menu and immediately figured what we wanted. It came relatively quickly and the people working there were very attentive. I personally got the bacon and eggs as a side, 10/10 can't get easier than that. Awesome scrambled eggs, a little runny/yolk-y way with crispy-somewhat chewy bacon aka my ALL TIME PERSONAL FAV of eating eggs and bacon. Then my main dish was the French Toast! 8/10 on that one, it's egg-ier than what I like as well as on its own lacked a little flavor, but still awesome paired with the butter/margarine(?) and syrup provided. So yeah overall TLDR experience, 4/5!!! Coming here again (probably by bus ) read more

SOLID delicious breakfast! If you want good American breakfast with a side of wontons haha yeah I said wontons, then this is the place! Everyone was getting the wontons so I had to try it, they were big and delicious. The cornbeef hash was perfect! And coffee was perfectly strong and yummy, I'm a coffee snob! I like strong diner coffee not sour foofoo stuff. read more

This breakfast/brunch spot is a no-frills, cash only, American style diner. It's owned by a Chinese couple that runs this tiny spot and they work extremely fast and extremely hard. The diner doesn't have a lot of big tables so it's not great for big groups, but is perfect for 2 to 4 people. The food itself is very delicious for the Price and there are big portions. There's nothing super fancy on the menu, but if you just want omelettes, waffles, pancakes, toast, a breakfast plate... they have that at an affordable price! read more

Fantastic for 30+ years! Joe and Becky have been running this joint for longer than I can remember. My wife and I came here with friends before we got married. It was a ritual to come in and get a bagel "Becky style" and me the corned beef hash with eggs over easy. They are still here killing it and the food is just as good as I remembered! If you are looking for fine dining, this is not your stop. If you are looking for reasonable priced food and good coffee, this is your joint! read more

Lived in SF all my life (Sunset district) and never been here before. For good reason, as it's a tiny hole in the wall that can't fit more than 20 people (including bar seating). Their largest table fits 4 and is the only one to do so, meaning seating is very limited to small parties. However, i deeply regret not coming here sooner. We ordered the Western Cheese Omlette and Joe's Special, and both were fantastic. Very hearty but not overly filling. Most of the breakfast/specials come with a side of hash browns and your choice of toast, making those orders quite worth the price. They also mix their American menu with some Chinese food (won ton soup and Chow mein). Just make sure you have cash to pay, since they're cash only. If you're fine with simple diner food and want to support a small local family business, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. read more

Quaint dinner setup in the Richmond district for breakie. The owner Joe has been around before the 89' quake! Definitely a rare place to find now and days. Careful parking out front.

Correction: owner goes by Becky, not Vicky. I blame the masks. Still top rate local diner.

Simple food made well. With large portions and an Asian not so secret menu. Cash is queen.

Great hole-in-the-wall/hidden gem for breakfast. We've been coming here for more than 20 years. We were seated as soon as we entered the coffee shop. Today I had the two eggs, hash brown potatoes and toast. Hubby had pancakes and coffee. Service is extremely efficient, food is great, waitress is friendly, dishes come out from the kitchen very briskly. read more

Cute cash only hole in the wall with kind staff, decent prices (especially for SF), and good simple food. We got two breakfast combos and a 3 stack of pancakes, ate both of them right up. Only offered pork sausage and bacon so if you don't eat pork, not a lot of meat options (corned beef hash which we don't like). All in all, solid experience and we will be back. read more

Great hangout spot. The lady in front is always tentative. The food is above average but the customer service goes a long way

A sucker for hot cakes having short stack of 2 or more or Joe's special. A no thrills diner regarding ambiance that is packed usually. A simple mom & pop spot but never disappoint. Coffee is refilled accordingly. Diners r disappearing w/in each generation & used to flourish all over the neighborhood. Miz Brown's, Sugar Plum, Zim's, Foster's, Video Cafe, Louis's, Seal Rock's & so many others. read more

This place is so freakin' cute in a non-frills way. It's like if your Canto parents opened a breakfast diner and ran it as the neighborhood mom & pop shop that only the locals know about. I love it. Plain, simple menu with everything you need. Sit at the counter and watch the mom take care of business. Glance to the right and watch the dad crack eggs and flip hash on the grill. That's all you need on a weekend morning. read more

Food is typical but good; we've had breakfast and lunch here. It's an old Pizza Hut building, I think. This place is packed every time we go. Sometimes we wait 5 minutes, sometimes it's 30!

Ever since I moved to New York I've been looking for a good old school diner - and this fits the bill! Personally this is what I look for when I visit a diner: - Cheap: Should be able to get a decent meal for a couple of bucks. Burnt diner coffee is $1.85 with refills! Whoot! - Unpretentious/slightly rundown: No beautiful hipster aesthetics here, but good greasy spoon food. You can tell this place has been around the block but it's still going on strong. - Strong customer support: Vicky, the owner, is this older Asian lady that knows her customers and all their owners. She might not always be smiling, but she definitely has the memory of an elephant! ... and Joe's Coffee Shop fits all of this! I got the Corned Beef Hash and my friend got the Western Omelette. We were both extremely pleased. The Corned Beef Hash has that nostalgic feeling to it - it has a slightly mushy inside texture with a nice crispy exterior. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the toasted was definitely buttered. The Omelette was great as well! Loaded with ingredients and extremely cheesy. Will definitely be back! read more

Sometimes you just want an old fashioned pancake breakfast. You don't want some hipster version of it or some stupid deconstructed version of it. You just want it the original way and you want it done well. My brother and I stopped by for pancakes and the usual egg with bacon for him and sausage for me. Did not know what to expect. We were both blown away by how the cook got it so right. Pancakes were light, eggs cooked perfectly, and the hash browns! Just the right combo of crispy exterior and warm soft interior. Yes the place could probably use a makeover but it's got an old school neighborhood diner charm to it that is genuine. Some of the best food is served in the most humble of places. Joe's Coffee Shop is one of those places. So going back again read more

Hidden little hole in the wall with great food. The interior isn't much to look at and there isn't a lot of space but you are attendee promptly, food is made to order and served quickly. Drink refills a plenty. I felt like I was at my mom's house while having my meal, it's not very organized behind the counter but it gives you that home feeling. At least for me it did. I had the Joe's scramble. Mushrooms, spinach, ground beef scrambled in eggs. Very tasty. Hash browns were great. This place only takes cash but there are ATMs close by in case you don't have cash on you. I'd return. read more

Its been a while seen I've been to Joe's coffee shop or as I call it Vicky's place. When I lived in San Francisco this was the place to go. I used to come for breakfast at least once a week. Now I visit whenever I am in the area and feel like having a hearty breakfast. The place is very small and old fashion. It's a wonderful little place. The food is really good. Joe's coffee shop is owned by a very nice older couple. This place has been here for over twenty five years if not more. Their hours are 7am until 3pm and there located at 6134 Geary Blvd, San Francisco. The parking can be difficult at times but it's worth it. Do remember Cash only. And bring quarters for parking. Until next time. Chao! read more
