Food was delicious they authentic Brazilian pastries and the mushroom coffee is a must try !

I may have just had the worst experience I've had as a Black man in a restaurant in nearly 30 years of living in SF at Pebbles Cafe. I knew something was off as soon as I approached the counter to give my sandwich order. The proprietor walked away from the counter as soon as I got there and muttered, "I'll be right with you." So I waited and when he came back I gave him my order, which he wrote down while I watched, and then took the orders of the two people behind me. I went outside to wait for my sandwich, and a few minutes later, the White guy who had ordered after me walked out with his sandwich. Hmm. I kept checking email, and then the White woman who had ordered after the guy behind me walked out with her sandwich. I went inside, thinking maybe I hadn't heard the call for my order, but no, the proprietor said, "they're wrapping up your sandwich now." So I finally got my sandwich and walked to the car to have a quick bite before heading home, only to find that it wasn't at all what I ordered, not even close, so I took it back. The proprietor didn't seem surprised at all and asked if I had time to wait for them to make it again. I did not. I was about to leave, but he said to let him give me my money back and he did, less the 20% tip I'd left. The thing is, I've been Black for well over 50 years, and I've been treated this way before--any one of those things I would have let slide as honest mistakes, but together it was clear that I was being told that my business wasn't wanted there. To be sure I'll never darken that cafe's doorstep ever again. And it's too bad, I live close by and could have become a regular if I hadn't been treated so poorly. Live and learn I guess. read more

This place is very small but cute. Owner is very nice every time I come into his establishment. I always come and get an everything bagel with extra cream cheese and bacon. Although the portion is small, you can tell their ingredients they use are all fresh and bacon is always cooked to perfection. read more

One of my favorite places in Glen Park! I usually eat there at least once a week. I'm working my way through all of the acai bowls after concentrating on Zico initially. All of them are deliciously nutritious! My other favorites are the tuna melt and the mixed green salad. The owners are kind enough to let me substitute tuna for the usual meats in the salad. A wonderful addition is their Chagaccino, truly delicious and nutritious. A huge bonus is the friendliness of the family who owns Pebbles. I look forward to them posting the World Cup schedule on their wall. Overall, it is always a delight to chat with Claudio, Eloise, and Marcello! read more

When it comes to coffee I like to try different varieties of coffee and for me it's my new jam is the mushroom coffee. Pebbles Cafe in Glen Park Village has the magical mushroom coffee boost. The Chagaccino coffee contains cacao, chago, cinnamon , and vanilla. Pebbles is a Brazilian establishment which those who know Brazil is the #1 producer of coffee in the world it produces about 40% of the world's coffee( Vietnam is #2 just to let you know ). The Chagaccino is not too sweet for sure and is more on roasted side which has a traditional coffee flavor. This is also a good place to grab my favorite superfood the Acai bowl. My go to Acai bowl is the Zico it has strawberries , and Acai strawberry blend, blackberries, blueberries, peanut butter and walnuts and I go to town (city) when I have this Acai bowl in front of me. The not too sweet juicy fruits with the savory smooth peanut butter makes this bowl so divine . Each bite is a delight. The Acai bowls here have different variety of flavors are all worth trying and have a strong kick ( most of the Acai bowls are named after soccer players). This is also the place where can get a tuna sandwich under $10 and a tuna melt with cheese for under $10 ( a value in San Francisco). They do have a secret sauce available and made by the owner. They offer a Peruvian hot sauce which is good to put on chicken. This is a great place to grab a Acai bowl , coffee, sandwich , and smoothie. This place is golden and shines like World Cup trophy . Come to Pebbles Cafe for the hard kicking Acai bowl After a few bites and sips of the organic mushroom coffee your mind and soul well be saying " Goal" read more

Cute Brazilian cafe with local flavors right by Glen bart station. Our car was being serviced for the day so we took bsrt to Glen stop and wanted to take a hike around the canyon park so we stopped first for a quick breakfast. A popular spot to grab a coffee and something to eat. They offer some Brazilian options, bagels and acai bowls! Cute and cozy and family run. The bagels honestly were ok - I make sourdough bagels at home so we are a bit spoilt when it comes to bagels taste. But the Brazilian options were nice. Probably try the acai bowls and the empanadas which we missed trying with their homemade sauce. read more

100000000/10!!!!!! LOVE Pebbles Cafe! I have been going for almost 7 years now! The açaí is UNMATCHED, the coxinhas, sandwiches and bagels Everything slaps. The service is absolutely the best, this restaurant is family owned so it makes a great cozy environment specially because it's in one of the best neighborhoods. Love LOVE pebbles! read more

The people were friendly and the food was amazing. Eat the pao de queijo while it's hot. I ordered the chai and it was perfect!

Love the sandwiches and acai bowls. Marcelo and family are always so warm and welcoming. It's our favorite neighborhood cafe!

A first impression is so important and not just on a blind date. I went on a blind date when I was a confused teenager and still remember how she used a toothpick to clean her teeth. And she wasn't even finished with her Happy Meal. But I digress as I thought this Glen Park business just served coffee and other generic lunch items that any number of coffee spots do all over the city. However, what I wasn't aware of until my third visit was that it's really a Brazilian cafe in disguise. Gee, I didn't think I needed a mural of Carmen Miranda to let me know that, and I was perfectly content with the Low Fat Mocha I've ordered on my previous visits (photo: https://bit.ly/3L7mmv0). The Brazilian part of the menu is hidden under the Featured Items section and more prominently in the wide variety of Brazilian acai bowls they offer. The featured items include dim sum-like items like coxinha (shredded chicken and cheese stuffed in a deep-fried dough) and empadas (chicken and vegetarian pie options). On my latest visit, I actually tried the $3 Pao de Queijo (Cheese Bread) which got me a pair of piping hot balls with gooey cheese inside (photo: https://bit.ly/3rHdowx). I also tried the $8.50 Pebbles Salad, which was a nice plateful of freshness with Mixed greens, cucumber, tomato, bacon, turkey, hard-boiled egg, and avocado slices (photo: https://bit.ly/3OtupnE). It was accompanied by an Italian dressing which it frankly didn't need. It took three visits, but I finally know there's more than coffee served here. FOOD - 4 stars...tasty stuff with a Brazilian accent AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...honestly looks like a coffee spot to me but at least with tables SERVICE - 4.5 stars...always friendly and forthcoming TOTAL - 4 stars...coming back for more Brazilian treats as well as the coffee RELATED - Exploring the Outer Mission?

Their acai bowls are amazing, beautiful to look at and very generous portions. Their sandwiches are also tasty. Service is friendly, can't find anything here not to like. They make it a joy to support this small/local businesses. read more

For my Brazilian people in the Bay, this place is BRAZILIAN OWNED and they make their own malagueta house sauce which is actually perfect with their empadas. They even have vegeterian empadas with palmito (heart of palm) and cheese, as well as tomate seco (sundried tomato) and cheese. Don't miss out on their variety of Açaí bowls named after Fútbol's greats like Marta and Neymar. This is a family run business of lovely people who make you feel right at home! The space is cozy, and really close to bart, or perfect for a snack after a hike through the Glen Park Canyon! read more

I think this is the third Brazilian cafe in SF I've been to (with the other two being Cafe de Casa in the Castro and Sunstream Coffee on Geary) and I say bring it on. I really enjoy savory Brazilian baked goods and the ones at Pebbles are totally solid. We got a kibbeh, a beef empanada, and a coxinha and all three were great. Their hot sauce is also quite tasty. read more

One of my favorite local cozy cafes. The owners are so nice and the food is delicious. The hot chagacino is my goto.

COVID-19 TAKEOUT Some people get their panties wet with the new new, the hot and new, instagrammable walls, opulent chandeliers, aesthetics, and/or hype. *RAISES HAND* So, we may ignore/overlook local businesses without the photogenic plates and drinks, and aesthetic goals. I'm guilty of this. I live nearby and for years, I've passed by Pebbles Cafe but never stepped foot inside because I thought it was your run-of-the-mill, neighborhood cafe. I had no clue they serve Brazilian Salgadinhos until I recently saw them listed on a 3rd party delivery app. After my nearby appointment, I popped into Pebbles Cafe to grab some Brazilian Salgadinhos. They're offering takeout, delivery, and dine-in (several small tables). No outdoor seating. M E N U * Brazilian Salgadinhos (kept in warmer): Coxinha, Kibe, Empada, and Pão de Queijo * Açaí bowls * Bagels * American breakfast and lunch sandwiches * Salads * Smoothies * Coffee & Tea B R A Z I L I A N S A L G A D I N H O S ***Items listed from fav to least fav * Coxinha: Brazilian Chicken Croquette ($4) Best item of the four! The coxinha was still warm by the time I got home and settled in. The fried dough was crunchy and generously filled with a creamy, savory chicken filling. Delicious and satisfying. GET THIS! * Chicken Empada ($4) Baked Brazilian "empanada" with a similar filling to the Coxinha but with the addition of corn and olives. Pair it with a small salad at home, and you have yourself a meal. If you're extra hangry, two empadas should do. Beef empada also available. * Pão de Queijo: Brazilian Cheese Bread (2 pc - $2.50) While they were still warm, I ate one in the car before driving home. Hard and sturdy crust with a mochi-like chewy center. Good salty cheese flavor but denser than my preference. Available by pairs only. * Kibe: Brazilian Beef Croquette ($4) Got the last one in the warmer so I was happy about that until I tasted it. I think it had been sitting in the warmer for awhile, as the bulgur exterior was hard and ground beef filling was dry. I'm sure if I came before noon, it would have been fresher. Make sure to ask for hot sauce for dipping! S E R V I C E The guy who helped me wasn't the friendliest but hey, it was a Monday. I'm kicking myself for sleeping on Pebbles Cafe all these years. It's a nice gem in the neighborhood that's worth the pit stop for Brazilian Salgadinhos! read more

Pebbles is so amazing! I got a Turkey, avocado, tomato bagel and added plain cream cheese. It's one of the best bagels I've ever had. The cream cheese was cold while the bagel was freshly toasted so the flavors and temperatures of the ingredients contrasted really well. The bagel did feel a little small, but with some coffee or a drink, I think it'd be really filling. I kind of preferred that it's not super gigantic or hard to eat and it's a manageable portion even though I could've eaten a little bit more. Overall, it was really good and the ingredients tasted really fresh. Also, the cashier is so kind and respectful whenever I've talked to them. The service is really fast and speedy and I feel like the price point is comparable to other bagel places, and a lot cheaper than ordering a bagel online through door dash or Grubhub. Definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area. read more

Great food great options. Mom's sandwiches are the best . Great family place. Best açaí in san Francisco

Quick take: Beeakfast sandwiches are good. Lunch sandwich was disappointing. Cute little cafe on Diamond. Brazilian breakfast and lunch. Service is friendly. A few tables inside for those who would like to dine in. Brazilian cheese bread was yummy. I saw people buying the bread raw and taking them home. The breakfast sandwiches and coffee were good. Roast beef sandwich was disappointing. Barely any meat inside the sandwich. This had the potential to be a very good sandwich but it fell short. Everything else inside the sandwich was good.Will not be ordering any of the lunch sandwiches. For $8.50 I should be full after eating the entire sandwich. It's a cute spot though. read more

Really cozy vibe here and yummy açaí bowls with gluten free granola option! Nice people too. I will be coming back.

Such a cute, friendly place! We ordered one of everything from their "not a the menu but here are some homemade Brazil treats." They were all delightful! A middle eastern influenced ground beef, mint with a seeming falafel outer coating. Num! A little pot pie thing. A cheese ball with a delicious outside. A chicken one with a creamy filling. Hard to describe, but delicious! I also had a salad which was perfect with avocado, turkey, bacon, greens, balsamic dressing, and tomatoes. My boyfriend had a croissant sandwich with turkey, avocado and tomato. Stop in! read more

We ordered via Door Dash. We ordered the empadas, bagel with cream cheese, tomato, and cucumber, bagel with turkey, avocado, and cheese, avocado smoothie, and strawberry açaí smoothie. Empadas were on point! So good. Between the two bagel sandwiches, I liked the one with cream cheese, tomato, and cucumber better. The everything bagel was so yummy and toasty. The turkey on the other sandwich didn't taste very good, like it was old. The avocado smoothie was ok; it tasted like it needed more sugar. Overall, it tasted like they used fresh avocado, which I liked. The strawberry açaí tasted a little thin or watered down. But flavor was good. I'd definitely order empadas again! read more

The team is very friendly, and the açaí bowls and Pao de Queijo are delicious. That's all we have ever had there. But it is a wonderful Saturday morning routine for us. Thanks for everything Marcello and team! read more

Do yourself a favor and get one of the authentic açaí bowls here. Marcelo and Claudio run this warm, inviting Brazilian cafe and offer great conversation and delicious treats (açaí is a must-have, try a coxinha for something savory). Glen Park is lucky to have them. read more

Super delicious Brazilian savory pastries, and very good, strong coffee. A real gem in Glen Park.

Can't say it enough, I love Pebbles. Their empadas are probably my favorite savory pastry, specifically the chicken empada. The accompanying hot sauce is excellent and I say that as someone who couldn't initially take the heat (it is quite up there), but I committed and now I can't go without it. Also, their sweet breads are fantastic and they make a mean bacon egg and cheese. read more

This is a quiet little coffee and sandwich shop. You can sit in either bay window and watch the traffic and Braille parkers or just use their free wifi. As I didn't see the coffee machine in use I chickened out on a cappuccino and went for an Italian soda (crushed ice and cordial) I also had a pastrami sandwich and she didn't miss with the pastrami It is a nice spot and maybe I will brave a coffee next time read more
