"Mom and Pop" run, "mom" and "pop" are a very nice immigrant couple with a successful coffee shop/sandwich shop that fits in nicely in the little corner of the world they've chosen to live. GREAT roasted turkey sandwich - just like after Turkey Day! Made to order breakfast sandwiches as well and other basic, good, and fresh made-to-order sandwiches. Good, hot coffee and many other beverages. Noticed quite a few people meeting to have relaxing conversations, and some by themselves with the daily crossword and a hot mug o' joe. No price gouging!! Very affordable shop makes me want to go back and spend more money another day, not sweat it because I spent all my cash on a sandwich like at other shops. read more

So here's the deal on Pebble's that makes all the difference in a coffee shop: 1) Coffee: great brewed caffe trieste coffee that you can serve yourself in a jiffy if you are on the fly. 2) Great people: Sheena and Alice are eternally friendly and really get to know their customers 3) good diverse music: Sheena always amazes me with her selections, be it reggae, 80's, jazz, Tony Bennett or other more eclectic choices. She can DJ my morning moments any old day. 4) Wi-Fi? I just learned that. Maybe I'll linger a bit with that cup o' joe and enjoy the homestyle neighborhood scene that is classic Glen Park. Check Pebbles out some morning! read more

I came to Pebbles with this in mind: the ability to get a small coffee and a baked good and have breakfast at 8am in the morning, do a little bit of work, check my fantasy basketball team, and just enjoy the morning. Pebbles Cafe succeeded in all of this. I don't know how the food is, there is a smaller side selection of sweet stuff to eat with coffee, which is good, but not amazing, but sit in a corner windo seat and enjoy the sunshine. Reviews of the staff here are true to form - they are excellent and looking to keep people happy. Always easier to keep a customer than to make a new one, and they've got that down pact. I live near Glen Park, and this is a pretty nice spot for mornings I've decided. read more

Love these guys! Good price considering it's SF. The coffee is fresh and served in mugs. The sandwiches are perfect and they serve you pretty quickly. The staff is very friendly. It's a very cute spot with an interesting Brazilian vibe. My girlfriend and I have made it a habit to visit at least once a week ever since we moved to Glen Park. read more

Just happened to stumble upon this little place while I was in the area. I teach classes near the cafe and I was looking for a spot to hang between my classroom sessions. I definitely found my spot! It's family owned and the brothers that work there are very friendly. It's always shocking to find someone in my age group (25) who can actually hold a conversation lol I had an everything bagel with Bacon, egg and cheese. It was tasty. They also have Acai bowls and smoothies. I will definitely be going back!! read more

Pebbles Cafe - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

So my friend and I went to this place recently. It was an awful, traumatic experience. I ordered my coffee, a sandwich and a packaged zucchini for the baby. All was fine, until I went to pay. I noticed a "$10 minimum credit card charge + .50 fee" sign on the register next to the Visa and MasterCard stickers. She rang me up. It was over $13, which I thought was expensive for what I got. All three purchases were not very good. I handed her my credit card and said, "Sorry, you can't charge a fee for using a credit card." She tried to say that she had to and I said, "It's against CA law to charge a fee. " (See California Civil Code Section 1748.1 (a) I said she can offer a discount for using cash, but no fee on the credit card. I guess she knew this because she said, "Ok, no fee." When my friend arrived, it was the same story. She wanted to charge a fee and I interrupted and again told her she can't charge a fee. She said she had to call the manager. Another female came over and insisted this was ok. So, my friend and I called Visa. They confirmed the law and said they were in violation and we could report them to the California State Attorney General. They further informed us that we were entitled to three times the amount of the bill if they charged us a fee (for violating the law). Apparently the women over heard this and were talking. My friend informed them that they had terrible customer service. We left with a bitter taste (from the coffee and from the experience). Later, we went to Bello Coffee & Tea across the street. It was a wonderful experience there. Their coffee was amazing and the people were so nice. It was a nice atmosphere and they didn't violate the law by trying to charge a fee for using a credit card. Avoid Pebbles Cafe and just go to Bello Coffee & Tea across the street. read more

Any place where you can get a decent bagel sandwich for less than $12 deserves 5 stars in my opinion. The sandwiches, coffee, tea, and bagels are super yummy, and the place has a great ambiance! Everyone who worked their was in a good mood and incredibly friendly. This is my go-to for a quick breakfast and coffee in the area, I always leave happy! read more

I live in the area but had never been in before. I went in to get a latte while I was waiting to pick my son up from school. The lady there was friendly while making the coffee but then she asked me when I was expecting..... uh - really? Never mind that I had a baby 2 months ago, that's not really the point as nobody wants to be told they look pregnant when they are not, even if they recently were. first day back at work too so I was wearing a dress and heels though frankly I could have been wearing saggy sweats and it still wouldn;t have been appropriate. the coffee was good but I wont be going back for more read more

I met someone here to "work" but assumed it would be a cafe with decent baked goods. They only had pre-packaged muffins and poundcake which looked kind of greasy and scary. I was able to have a cappucino with soy milk while my friend had a sandwich. I guess if I were into sandwich shops this might be a good choice...but I'm not. The owners were very nice and let us stay longer than their closing time. But...it's not a cafe...it's a sandwich shop. read more

Amazing "pão de queijo mineiro"!!! Great coxinhas! Just moved to the area and always stop by for some Brazilian treats read more

Came in for a breakfast sandwich and was pretty disappointed. It seems pretty hard to mess up a breakfast sandwich, but ours were limp and flavorless. You're better off at McDonalds! One star for having decaf coffee but I won't be back, even though I walk by every day and live in the neighborhood. read more

Awesome family owned spot! Everything was delicious and especially loved the Brazilian goodies

I've been to this little pleasant cafe a couple times with a friend and have enjoyed the friendly Brazilian family who owns and runs it as well as their sandwiches (I only get veg), smoothies, and acai bowl. read more

I've now come here several times and they're so nice. It's a little hole in the wall, but they'll customize your meal/sandwich for you and it's super-reasonably priced. They're so nice and I go here a few times a month. read more

More gluten free tapioca yummy pastries and I'll give ya 5 stars! Exquisite take out food in one of my fav SF 'hoods, Glen Park, where my ensemble Eighty Mile Beach created 'Inclement Weather' in '95, where Bird and Beckett Jazz Bookstore hosts many fine events, where Glen Canyon is, where Cheese Boutique and Crepes abound...Ramen, Bella Coffee, Canyon Market, La Corneta.....I heart Glen Park!!!! read more

I had a BLT on a Dutch Crunch Roll. It was good! Overall nice selection, reasonable prices, clean bathroom, free wifi. Easy location across from BART. I would definite go back when I am in the area. read more

New management! What a breath of fresh air! Pleasant space, friendly staff, excellent coffee and snacks. Far apart from the expensive yuppie places popping up everywhere today. I'll be back. read more

I had thought this place was closed for good, but I am pleased to note that I was wrong. Friendly and quick service, good prices, and the coffee was fresh and tasty. Good selection of bagel sandwiches! read more

Very accommodating, great coffee, also the Brazilian cheese bread is a must for all and it's gluten free!

The owner is super nice and greets her regulars by name. The place is nice and cozy. The coffee is average, but I come here because it's down to earth. I find their plain breakfast sandwiches to be yummy. read more

Great food and new ownership is very pleasant to talk to. I look forward to going there more often wit

Under new management. Good coffee, good food and really great ambiance. A wonderful little place to sit for a little while or meet up with someone. I liked them a lot already but then I forgot my wallet and one of the owners spontaneously offered me a "muffin or something." Now they are obviously my favorite for ever. read more

This a neighborhood gem. The food is fantastic. Everything I ate here was excellent. They serve hardy food including a delicious assortment of açaí bowls. The sandwiches are hot and big! Their prices are very reasonable. In fact, they are a bit cheaper than all the other restaurants here while being better. The atmosphere is great as well, very relaxed and friendly. Enjoy! read more

Friendly service and a very cozy café with a great neighborhood/family vibe about it. Love working from here on occasion.

I really really want to like this place -- I've been coming off and on for the last 3 years with mixed results, but lately I've been reminding myself why I should head across the street to Bello instead -- and today was the clincher: overpriced New York bagel with a sad amount of cream cheese and when I got to the second half of it, a piece of hair was under it...ugh. I told them, and was given a ho hum "that happens, we're sorry". I'm sorry too -- because I'm done giving this adorable place a chance to prove me wrong. read more

Had the bulgogi dish here. It was served over rice and a side salad. I was hungry today for lunch so it was good, but not memorable. I'd visit again to try a sandwich. It's near the Glen Park Bart. read more

For a bagel and cream cheese it is $2.75 and you get barely enough cream cheese for half. Also, they just put a slice of cream cheese on it and don't spread it, I hate that. It's just laziness, and who wants to eat a bite of bagel with just bread and another bite with all the cream cheese they give you, which isn't much. read more

The Korean BBQ sandwich was especially tasty. Cute little cafe with a wide variety of sandwiches and drinks both hot and cold to quell the hunger or even the pickiest of eaters. read more

Good coffee, cute atmosphere and the tuna sandwiches are great!

Good breakfast sandwich and Cafe Trieste coffee. The lady that owns this place is super nice, and always make you feel welcome when you come in.. I was running late for work one time (or two), and placed a phone order, and they had it ready as I arrived with car double parked outside.. That you don't get in alot of cafe's in S.F... AWESOME! read more

I get nervous when I see those big serve-yourself coffee tins, especially when some of them seem to be flavored brews . . . but i had a nice cup of Caffe Treiste coffee that I actually like better than the Blue Bottle stuff across the street at Bello. Here's the rub: expensive. I can't believe I paid $5 for a coffee and bagel on which the cream cheese was just a garnish. By contrast, I think it's about $3.70 for the same thing at Martha's over in Bernal Hts, and that place is the realness with the quality of the bagel and amount of cheese, too. Seems to me that the more you pay for a bagel with shmear, the less shmear you get. I'm guessing it's because places that do that are trying to eke every penny out. Cause the sandwiches are relatively expensive, too. read more

It's your local cafe. You are either a regular welcomed as a soon to be regular. I had the bulgogi plate. It is very good. The cofee is the best though and they make iced Italian soda drinks, though I think you have to ask for them, they are excellent. read more

Perfect croissant breakfast sandwich!!! Now I call ahead of time and they have it ready when I get there. A bit spendy but I still Love the place! Rose read more

They make good lattes and the their plan bagel breakfast sandwiches are pretty good. I would agree this place is a little pricey but i like to sit down and read the paper and this place has good light whereas Bello across the street is so dark and hard to read in unless you are staring at a computer screen. read more

Pebbles is an ok second choice to Bello across the street. This is a potential diamond in the rough and I can't image how they could operate as if everything were ok when their main competition across the street seems to bring in about 10x the traffic. There are too many tables. The place always feels awkwardly crowded and the tables are never filled. Get rid of one or two. The music is horrific. It's rare that I would say this, but there was an easy listening song, carly simon or something on a repeat loop there the other day. I though the guy behind the counter would get it after about 3 times through, but on the 5th play I said something. He skipped forward....to the same song, which repeated again. I walked out. The coffee is totally subpar to what's offered across the street. They would do well to focus a on at least making the presentation a little more desirable. The food menu is long, but looks like it mostly come from frozen stuff. They've got a bulgoki offering that's pretty decent, but overpriced considered the other options in town. Three keys Pebbles: simplify, up your quality, and spend a little less time on your iPhone and more on worrying about how satisfied your customers are. read more

Omg, that waitress is so warm hearted, I like this place so much, the espresso is heaven:)

On a Saturday morning, ordered an egg & cheese croissant, waited 8 minutes, and got on a late train to work. It was cold when I opened it up. When I go to Peet's and get a chicken chorizo flatbread, I can be out the door in under 2 minutes during a weekday rush hour. This place would be my last choice for breakfast. read more

Decided to stop in and try one of their breakfast sandwiches. I got a muffin egg cheese bacon. Nearly $6 bucks, I didn't look at the price before ordered, that's my fault. There was bacon only on about half of the English muffin and I didn't taste it as much as it was crunchy. If you're in Glen Park go spend a little bit more and get a real breakfast at Tiger café or wait and go to McDonald's to get a better breakfast sandwich for half the price. read more

Cute little coffee shop. The owner was warm and welcoming, and the ambiance homey. Had a tasty breakfast sandwich (croissant with egg/cheese/bacon), and a latte. I enjoyed both the food and the coffee. The place is both simple and tasteful. Would return. read more

This place is horrible. I went there because I thought it would be a nice spot to sit and have some lunch but it wasn't anything near it. The only positive thing I have to say about this place is the comfortable seating. The service was atrocious and she rushed me to choose what I wanted and made me feel as though I were inconveniencing her. The menu is all pasted together and they can't make you everything that is on the menu. I ended up ordering the chicken noodle soup and how dare I assume they make it from scratch. It was over $4 for a bowl of Campbells Chicken Noodle Soup! When I asked for my money back she got very defensive and said they added their own herbs and spices but admitted that yes it did come out of a can. The coffee is not even all it is cracked up to be, Café Bello is still the best coffee in the Glen Park District. read more
