    Incredible local and family owned cafe. I love coming here, they always make me feel welcome. The staff and owners are great, and food is really high quality with great ingredients and unique sandwich ideas! Love the sliders =) Coffee is delicious. Vibe is awesome. Great place to work and hang out for a bit.

    Chic seating
    Vicki A.

    Wandered into this cute cafe for a matcha latte to go and ended up sitting down to enjoy the tastiest steak sandwich and a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie, too! The ambiance was Insta-worthy, the service was friendly and prompt. Cookies were just out of the oven and the sandwich was made to order with an amazing pepper sauce, fresh greens, melted mozzarella (or a choice of cheddar) and tender steak. I spoke to Enrique who said they bake everything fresh and the bread for the sandwiches is ordered from Panorama everyday. Love that it was chewy inside and crispy on the outside but not enough to give you roof rakers. A neighborhood gem.

    Roasted Chipotle Steak Sandwich
    Ravuth L.

    Robin's Cafe is an absolute gem cafe in the mission district. It is very spacious and the staff is very friendly. I always get either the Chipotle steak or Pork Belly sandwich. Both of these sandwiches are very tasty, meaty, crunchy, and i highly recommend! I'm not a big eater, but dare i say, I could eat two in one seating. It's close to Dolores park as well, so you can even stop by to grab a sandwich before heading to the park.

    I always drive by this coffee shop and never have time to stop by, until last weekend. I was meeting a friend and we're deciding we're to meet, I remember this place since we were going to Dolores Park afterwards. The place was not busy, a couple of people outside/inside. Plenty of seat+tables in the back since they share the space with ODC The service was quick, informative, & pleasant. The food was quiet flavorful and quiet delicious. Presentation was on point Coffee was good, I had a drip and my fiend had a cappuccino and he quiet liked it. It was an overall wonderful experience. I would come back in I find myself in the neighborhood again. Would recommend.

    Matcha latte
    Victor C.

    What I got: Green Matcha Latte w/half&half and honey Avocado toast as listed on menu I had a great time, this meal was delicious! For $15 it's a high price but the quality and presentation were phenomenal. I thoroughly enjoyed sipping the foamy goodness of the latte while I did business on my phone. Mmm that was the best latte I've had all year!! I loved this meal! The toast was crunchy around the edge, soft in the center, well buttered too. The 'cado was tasty, no wrongdoings to be found. Likewise with the hardboiled eggs. The salt topping was so good! Service was fast too! I sat down at 10:32am and had my meal served by 10:40am. Big props these people are working hard!! If it's like this a second and third time, five stars for you!!

    The roasted mushroom sandwich. Those are shimeji mushrooms (im guessing), stringy mushrooms. Hosin sauce was a bit much. Will try to ask for no hosin sauce. Avocado was really good as well as their bread that was crunchy and held everything together. The side salad was good (always good to have greens). Next time try their hot chocolate made themselves. Nice place to hang out using the ODC lobby. Sunny outside too.

    Roasted chipotle steak sandwich
    Bella L.

    Great place for lunch with tasty sandwiches. My work ordered Robin's Cafe for lunch and it was a solid spot for a filling meal. I ordered the roasted chipotle steak sandwich, which also came with a side salad tossed in a simple vinaigrette. It was a pretty large portion of food for the price, which I believe was $15. The steak sandwich had plenty of sauce in it, and it gave just the right amount of kick. The bread was very soft and toasted just right, and the steak itself was amazing. It fell apart as soon as I bit into it and the proportions of all the fillings in the sandwich were great. I also ordered a cinnamon morning bun, but wasn't given that unfortunately. They ended up giving a chocolate chip cookie, which was good, but not what I wanted. Overall, Robin's Cafe is pretty tasty with large and filling meals. Sad that I wasn't able to try the cinnamon morning bun, but hopefully next time I'm able to.

    Matcha latte in Robin's cafe is soooo good!
    Shell J.

    I love this little gem next to ODC. In between dance classes I usually sit next to the window sipping the matcha latte made with oak milk and having a piece of zucchini bread, while people watching... it has become a thing as I really love the food and drink made by people who care. Part of reasons I am always there are the staff. They know what I want and they always put on big smiles when I step in. Isn't that like homecoming?!

They explained that the flight includes an espresso shot, espresso shot with milk, hot coffee, and iced coffee. I hadn't had a straight espresso shot before, so this wasn't for me personally just because it was so overpowering. I enjoyed the other three though. Like the majority of SF, parking is difficult to locate. I was dropped off nearby the location. There is indoor and outdoor seating; I was able to grab an empty spot late in the morning on a weekend, but I don't think seating is always readily available. It's not a huge space.

At 11 am on a Sunday they were out of their best- black sesame Kouign Amann and the Raspberry Almond Croissant, which I took care of by paying a visit to Juniper bakery (sister business) later in the day. The Mocha with the house made nut milk fell flat. It needed something. I am not a fan of syrupy coffees and appreciate the more purist approach but this one just didn't do anything for me. The chai latte which I would never order was actually the best chai latte I have ever had, it was smooth like silk. Maybe I just had the wrong coffee order. Besides that, got the hot chocolate and the coffee tasting. I was surprised there was no explanation provided with the coffee- I figured it's all Honduran but an overview of some sort would have helped. I enjoyed all the coffees in there except the latte. Will visit again, earlier in the day so they are not out of their best sellers and try a different order.

We went to the second floor and wow, the space was huge. I liked that each person could order and pay on their own and everything would be delivered to the table.

I'm not a usual fan of kimchi, but honestly, this was mouth watering, would 10/10 recommend. The bread itself was delicious. Flaky and soft. The matcha wasn't out of this world, I give it a basic 6/10. The Melona Matcha Latte was so much better. So was the Melona Soda.

I have gone to Blackbird a handful of times and have enjoyed the experience each time. Blackbird is primarily a bookstore, but they do have an outdoor window where you can order drinks ranging from matcha (Rocky's Matcha, if you're curious about which brand they use), lattes, and tea. They also carry a good amount of pastries (even mid-day, they have a lot of goodies), which I really appreciated. When you order your drink, you have to enter inside the bookstore to wait for your drink to be called, but you can take the time to stroll around and look at their book selection and trinkets. Heads up: the seating here is limited but very lovely. Inside, there are a couple of community tables, but their outdoor area is absolutely magical, with lush greenery and benches for you to enjoy your drinks. This time around, I got one of their seasonal drinks, a honey lavender vanilla latte, and I paired it with an Earl Grey olive oil loaf. The portion of the pastry was generous and moist, while the icing was not too sweet. Overall, a great pick for a cafe if you're in the area.

But Katsu is really becoming the new hype of the day for Japanese food, following the Sushi, Ramen, Japanese Curry, Katsu trend. So I came in with a critical view. I feel like Yoshoku in general may be next but I yet again digress. The box sandwich came in a cute little box. The inside was packed so I couldn't get a chance to fully appreciate the cafe, but the service was nice though the pay line may have moved slower than hoped. I'll say this. This is "the" best katsu sando in the bay. The katsu is crispy, but little on the softer side. But this hardness matches perfectly with the absolutely tender, soft, juicy pork wrapped inside. I'm looking at the menu again and it all makes sense. The pork has been in shio koji, making the meat ever so tender while adding the subtle but complicated marinated flavor. The cabbage is plenty, but not over packed to take away from the main Katsu flavor. What really perfects it for me, was not only the sweet and savory katsu sauce, but the mayo with dash of I think a karashi mustard. That slight tingle, the perfect kick gives a powerful awakening of flavor that really sets the it apart. This is art, an artisan. Culinary art is the refuge no raging rampant AI slop "art" can ever hope to touch. Until the day we get some cyborg implant to our brain into gustatory, olfactory functions.
