    Coffee And The Vegetable Sandwich
    Steve A.

    Got lunch at this cool cafe. It has a good location in the Civic Center neighborhood. Planet Cafe is only open for breakfast and lunch on the weekdays. Limited hours but certainly not on flavor. The menu is mostly typical cafe fare such as sandwiches. At lunch is a good time to go here. It's only open for breakfast and lunch. The menu is pretty simple. Has the basics of a deli. It's about $11 for a sandwich. Each of us got one of the vegetarian choices. I had the Vegetable Sandwich. This came with avocados, cucumbers, hummus, lettuce, red onions, and tomatoes. Also they can make and deliver kids' lunches. This is nice of them to be sure with already having there being a limited amount of food they can make. Basic looking cafe. It's only a few tables inside. This is a good place for takeout, but you still have enough room to eat inside, and there's the one sandwich option that's okay for vegetarians.

    The place is great with a very polite and talkative service slightly expensive but they provide you with well sized portions worth the price with an amazing taste

    Planet sweet crepe: banana, strawberries, drizzled with Nutella.

    Small place--it fit our family of 5 at the front table comfortably--order at the counter type of place. Feels off the beaten path. Parking was available and proved to be a good place for a quick breakfast for both sweet and savory crepes. Ambiance--definitely felt the throw back to France vibe, small cafe owned and run immigrants.

    Bagel and Egg Breakfast Sandwich

    Cute little cafe with a solid breakfast bagel. They seem to be known for their crepes so worth trying next time!

    Planet Cafe looks like another moderate mom and pop shop that serves coffee. I decided to have a smoothie for $5. It had pineapple and blueberry. It was good to try. I noticed they serve Ethiopian food. It's not a fancy place, but interesting for Ethiopian. This is in Hayes Valley.

    Banana Nutella Crepe

    Very friendly and hospitable owner. Delicious crepes and good coffee! Planet Cafe is a small cafe, but the food is outstanding. I will return.

    The Smoked Salmon Salad to go.
    L J.

    The salmon salad to go. The bread was delicious, well buttered and toasted perfectly. The salmon was fresh and also delicious. I'll be doing this for lunch many more times.

So we got an extra drink for free. Trying the iced latte, it was pretty disappointing lol. I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.

We chose this large city location thanks to easy parking and a convenient stop on our drive. It was a beautiful morning, which was easy to enjoy thanks to the high ceilings, big glass windows, and open main door. The first floor has a central counter to order food and drinks; the glass cabinet has a bunch of rotating pastries from a local bakery. They have restrooms and a merchandise area here too. At the front are counter seats along the front window, and also a horseshoe that looks into the roasting area, which is a great place to smell the beans. There's an upstairs loft that overlooks the cafe below, also with a test kitchen area and offices across to the front.

Where Sightglass lost points for me: -Fire up that hot spot, because there's no wifi. -My husband's breakfast sandwich was cold in the middle. -Worst of all... paper straws. I know, dramatic, but I want to enjoy my coffee without the inevitable ticking time bomb of a straw progressively getting more and more soggy with every sip.

But I have to praise that they do work fast and service is great. Indoor seating will be a tiny wait but is worth because the inside is so lovely, more like a Japanese tea room rather than some cafes that lean towards the clean modern usually all white interior look. We got seated at this cute little tea area almost felt like a sushi bar vibe. I was impressed that I could see that they had different water kettles labeled with appropriate temperatures for brewing their matcha. So I ordered for my date and me: matcha latte, matcha pie, and the cookie trio. Matcha latte was good! Nothing too crazy but still really good, I'm more of a hojicha person nowadays but solid drink and beautiful textured milk. The PIE! This is their best dessert and for good reason. Citrusy, but not terribly sweet, rich yet still has the subtle matcha flavor. I could see potential for a fall forward hojicha version of their pie one day. $10 for a slice but worth to share Cookie trio was a good pick too. My favorite was probably the Kinako oatmeal raisin cookie and I think would pair well with any warm drink. Matcha white chocolate cookie was not too bad, I think it benefited a lot from the bit of sea salt on top. The Hojicha chocolate walnut cookie was my second favorite! I don't see many hojicha desserts happening yet in matcha cafes so this cookie was a delight to have and honestly I've gotta try making my own. So warm but not too dominated by the chocolate. I wanna come back because they've got a matcha chestnut cake I wanna try next, just stellar for the desserts

Yemeni coffee was light and subtle with cinnamon. Milk cake was moist and not too sweet - texture reminds me of a les tres cake. Rose and saffron flavors were perfect and not too overpowering Turkish coffee is not bitter or too strong.

It's located at the filthy corner of 4th and Clara, which made the outside smell of urine. Fortunately the cafe itself is pretty clean, which is a nice escape from the street. I ordered an Americano and my friend got one of their $8+ lattes, which were fine, but nothing special. My biggest gripe was the service and absolute scorn of the customer. My friend and I sat at the counter basically in a staring contest with the woman behind the counter, who just stared right back. After some 30 seconds, we finally flagging her down to place our order. After turning around the drinks suspiciously quickly, my friend and I sat down to catch-up in the empty cafe. Before long, the barista pumps up the volume, increasing higher and higher every 5 minutes or so, as if to signal to us that our time was up. I asked her to turn down the volume, which she tuned down from an 11 to a 7, but minutes later it continued to creep up, like the snooze setting of an alarm clock coaxing you to wake up - except in this case, to get out. Ultimately, the volume got unbearable and we finally threw in the towel and got out of there to let the barista enjoy her music. Definitely never going back there - they clearly don't want the business. Food: 5/10 Service: 0/10 Price: $$ Atmosphere: 4/10
