    Flat white and toast & jam with whipped butter
    Melissa C.

    Very cute cafe to study, work, or catch up with a friend. They have cute cups and plates when you eat in. Lots of plants and the bread is top tier. I sat inside which has pretty limited seating, but I got to peek outside briefly and it looks like there's a lot more plants and seating.

    Such a beautiful spot to enjoy coffee and some food. Came here with a friend in warmer weather and we both enjoyed our time here. We got a few drinks to try. This is mainly a garden cafe as most of the seats are outside, with just a few seats inside and lots of plants, trees surrounding the premise. I felt like we were transported into a secret garden. Magical. Service efficient. Located on Folsom and 17th St.

    I've been wanting to check out Stable Cafe for a while now but unfortunately chose a cold, windy Saturday to stop by with a couple of friends. We ordered coffee and breakfast food to try and I got a cappuccino along with the coconut chia pudding. Loved the strong cappuccino and the chia pudding was a great choice for a lighter breakfast. The housemade jam is great and gives the creamy coconut chia a nice tartness. There is a cute greenhouse patio seating area with a fireplace but unfortunately even with the fire and a more covered area, it was a bit cold to sit outside and we had to duck to another coffee shop after an hour. The patio is really such a nice place to enjoy good weather though and I'll have to be back to really take it in.

    Food was delicious and service was quick! Ambiance was so beautiful, cant wait to go back

    Latte and breakfast sandwich

    Huge outdoor seating area, great when it's warm! In addition, there is also greenhouse patio seating area with fireplace that is occasionally open. Saturday morning is pretty busy. Order at counter, seat yourself, and food will come when ready. The latte ($6) was very very hot, somewhat hard to carry to table since it was in a glass cup. The coffee had strong flavor. Smooth texture with enough foam. The breakfast sandwich ($14) was a great option: fluffy eggs, ham, and cheese on a toasted sesame. It was super cheesy, if you check out my photo. Overall, a good space to hangout with friends, but it does get cold if you're seating outside during cold weather.

    3.5 round up to 4. Trying to find a cafe to do somework and seeing how cute and aesethic place this is, my friends and I decide to come here. DISCLAIMER- NO WIFI. ( we used our hotspot) Street parking is easy which is so nice in SF. The interior and outdoor area is SO NICEEEE. Plenty of seating. This is also a nice spot to catch up with ppl too. For the food/drinks, we got the breakfast burrito and the chive cheese scone which are both delicious. The matcha latte is not good, the vanilla latte is alright. I would just come back for the food and vibes tbh.

    Turkey sandwich & matcha latte

    Came here few weeks ago with two friends. Parking was a little bit hard in the area on a weekday but luckily I was able to manage to find one. Love the vibe of this place. You have the outdoor patio for you to enjoy your yummy food & coffee. I had the matcha latte & Turkey Avocado sandwich. Matcha latte was delicious. The turkey sandwich also was pretty good. Nothing special but good. Overall we had a good experience and would love to come back to try something else!

    Cappuccino

    We stopped in last weekend for brunch. I loved the bagel with lox, we also tried the teriyaki chicken bowl. What a beautiful setting, and wonderful coffee. Would definitely come back again soon

    Stopped by Stable Cafe - really nice outdoor space with lots of plants, super relaxing vibe. Got the breakfast burrito and chilaquiles, both were pretty decent. Perfect spot for a chill coffee and morning meal.

    The food and coffee were both delicious. My friends and I sat on the back patio and it was cute and shady. I would reccomend getting there early for the weekends because the line got long!

    Cappucino

    I was waiting for an appointment nearby and decided to grab the nearest coffee - saw this place. Inside is beautiful! Large big door. Plants. Upstairs lounge area, and a wonderful outside area. Lots of room for a coffee shop. I was tempted to get something off the food menu, looked amazing, but just got a cappuccino to go. Lots of options beverage and food wise (seriously need to try their food next time I go, some of their stuff looks very creative). . Cappuccino was delicious and gorgeous. Great interior and exterior. Plenty of seating. Good service. Great place to lounge about and have a morning sip or a cafe breakfast I'd say. I'll be back in the area in a couple weeks of this review, so glad to know it's around.

    I met some friends for coffee and a little bite for lunch. Located in the mission, stable café offers a variety of coffee, breakfast items, and sandwiches. I was blown away by how much outdoor space they have, we even got a spot near a fireplace outside. There is inside seating, a couple tables in a "terrace", and a bench on the main level. Everyone was very friendly and the food came out pretty promptly. I got a latte, I like the quality of coffee they used. It was very hot and delicious. I wish I got a pastry, but I guess that's for next time! I got the Korean chicken sandwich, which comes with spicy chicken, pickled raddish, cabbage slaw, and mayo. I appreciate the little side pickle slices as well. The chicken was perfectly seasoned perfectly cooked, I really enjoyed the sandwich. I wish I got two since I just went to the gym before lunch. Stable a little pricey, but that's just San Francisco. I really enjoyed my time here, because of the space a lot of people are able to join in and stay a little while. It's a good spot for a yap!

    Iced Matcha Latte
    Helen N.

    While visiting from out of town, I took a spontaneous drive down Folsom Street and spotted a café that immediately stood out--clean exterior, welcoming vibe, and something about it just felt right. I've been slowly curating my list of go-to cafés in San Francisco, and this one instantly earned a place on it. Parking was, honestly, a bit of a challenge. Parallel spots were limited, and I had to circle the block a few times. But once I made it inside, I was greeted by a short line and a calm, well-organized interior. While waiting, I noticed a side door open and stepped outside--only to find a charming patio filled with greenery. There were plants everywhere: hanging, potted, tucked into corners--giving the whole space a fresh, peaceful energy. It felt like a hidden urban garden. I ordered an iced matcha latte and a breakfast burrito. The matcha was whisked just right--smooth, balanced, and not overly sweet. It's clear they know what they're doing. The burrito was well-sized, lightly seasoned, and came with a flavorful dipping sauce on the side. What impressed me most was how intentional everything felt: the clean restroom (yes, I always check), strong Wi-Fi, friendly staff, and pricing that's reasonable for the quality. The thoughtful design of the café, including its transformation from a historic horse stable, gives it a unique character. And that patio--with its mix of shade, sun, and all those plants--is the kind of space you want to linger in. Bonus: the outdoor seating is tucked away from the sidewalk, so it feels more private and peaceful. Efficient, consistent, and clearly run with care--this café checks all the boxes. It's officially made it into my SF brunch rotation, and I'd recommend it to anyone who values good coffee, good food, and an atmosphere that invites you to stay awhile.

Food we ordered: - Tom yum omelette w/ shrimp - Thai tea French toast - Drunken noodles w/ chicken -- the noodles they used are not the typical noodles I'm used to but it was filled with flavor with a kick of spice. - Tom yum noodle soup w/ crispy chicken -- my favorite dish!! The crispy chicken was recommended by the server and it truly did not disappoint. The chicken was crisp and juicy and the noodles were cooked perfectly. For drinks we got the Thai iced tea, butterfly lychee fizz, and the coconut milk latte. I got the Thai ice tea less sweet and it was perfect for me ( I usually don't like it super sweet). The butterfly lychee fizz was very refreshing (could be less sweet for me) and the coffee was also very good! Would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area or looking for brunch food that isn't your typical American brunch!

In my opinion Lapisara ranks in the middle due to the other excellent options available. Seated immediately--had a reso but on a Wednesday morning not really necessary. It took a long time for the single employee to get to us but we weren't in a hurry. Cappuccino was very good in a cute "bear mug" and very reasonably priced. We shared a pacific omlet--not much crab, lots of shrimp, and nice swiss cheese/scallions but tasted kind of fishy--potatoes were only avg. Son said huevos rancheros were average. Price point good for SF and portions adequate to share. Location convenient so we will try dinner there tonight before a comedy show nearby. Dinner-5++ stars; 4 of us Had dinner last night-6pm-reso but not needed. only one other group dining. Single Waitress was great-we let her know we needed to leave in about an hour for a show and she timed everything perfectly--we even had time for dessert. we ordered so many items that she brought over an extra table--we shared everything family style. Most Yelp reviews only mention brunch but the dinner was awesome--service; food: taste/quality, presentation, portions, prices we phenomenally low for SF ($200 with a bottle of wine for 4 people). We started with the garlic butter clams-small but tasty. Tuna tartar was excellent quality and enough to share. Samosas were more like empanadas--very good with peanut sauce so good it rivaled my own home made. We continued our culinary adventure with crab fried rice-delicious, a large portion and my son who lives in SF and has tried dozens of crab fried rice ranked it in the top tier. The pacific catch rice noodles with crab was also excellent-big portion, lots of crab, tasty. Final entree was their specialty-Mussaman Curry. Wow, tender meat/potatoe "stew" with a very unique flavor from the star anise/cinnamon and peanut--to die for. Creme Brulee was very good with lots of fresh fruit accompaniment My only complaint was a very limited wine selection. Lapisaia will become one of our regular spots for dinner!!!

I wouldn't call it spicy at all. The omelette felt small for the price and there wasn't much filling inside. It came with a side of potatoes that were really good. They had a nice crisp on the outside and were soft on the inside. I also got a regular coffee, and they do unlimited refills. The place was busy for brunch, and I liked the bear theme. Some of the coffees came in bear-shaped glasses, and some of the lattes had a decorative bear made out of ice.

The residential setting is part of the appeal - you can actually spread out, and it's a lovely area to wander while you wait for a table (and you will wait, so plan for it). The outdoor seating is the way to go. Indoor feels cramped. On cooler mornings they'll even hand you a blanket. Sitting outside on that peaceful corner watching the neighborhood wake up is a charming experience. Only downside of dining al fresco: a fly landed on my sausage. But credit to the staff - the waiter noticed and brought out a fresh plate without me even having to ask. That kind of attentive service goes a long way. The food lives up to the hype. The lemon ricotta pancakes are the star for good reason. They were light, fluffy, and not too sweet. The crispy potatoes were excellent too, just be warned they come out scorching hot (I burned the roof of my mouth going in too eager). Give them a minute to cool. Upside of parking on the top of that steep hill is that you'll burn off your breakfast calories getting back to your car.
