I wanted to like this place, but my Southwestern sandwich was just ok. This is a tiny deli inside the 450 Sutter building. There are a few tables. The place seemed very disorganized to me, and with SRO at the time o couldn't get a menu, then had no place to wait. I'm not knocking the place for that. Just annoying. Service was friendly, but they did seem really busy for a small place, so it took a while. Anyway, got my Southwestern sandwich and was less than impressed. Lots of lettuce and not much turkey for the $14 sandwich. Flavor was just ok. I would not do it again. read more

Sutter Street Cafe - 3. Southwestern Sandwich. Meh - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

I came here for their breakfast sandwich which was included in a list of the top breakfast sandwiches in the city by SFGate and it met my already-high expectations! This is a hidden gem that is easy-to-miss (unless you're going to the dentist or the doctor)--don't miss it! It's mom-and-pop, no frills, but reasonable-prices, hearty fare, and will make you smile! Such service and food, I keep coming back. read more

If you're anywhere near Union Square, do yourself a favor and stop by Sutter St. Cafe inside 450 Sutter! The moment you walk into the building, the warm, inviting aroma of toasted bagels fills the air, setting the tone for a fantastic breakfast or lunch experience. They have an impressive variety of daily specials and a great selection of breakfast and lunch options. We arrived early and were treated to Joe's signature hospitality--get there before 11 AM, and he'll even toss in a hash brown patty! It's those little touches that make this place stand out. The coffee, tea, and cold beverages are all excellent, perfect for pairing with whatever delicious meal you choose. Joe and his team truly make this place special. Their customer service is top-notch--always serving with a smile and a friendly chat that makes you feel like a regular, even if it's your first visit. The seating area is on the smaller side, but there are a few eat-in tables if you want to stay. We opted to take our order to go, which worked out perfectly.

Small hole in the wall located inside of an office building. Simple standard breakfast and quite a few options available. All day breakfast and sandwiches. Affordable, fast and the staff was very kind. My hotel wanted $35 for some eggs and bacon so I will always talk the walk over to Sutter St cafe instead. read more

My wife found this Cafe during a recent visit to San Francisco. Sutter St. Cafe was a block or so from our hotel. Cafe is in the bottom of an office building and is a hidden gem. Lady running the cafe is very friendly and efficient. My wife and I received our breakfast sandwiches very quickly and was very reasonable price wise. If you need a quick breakfast, it's a quality visit. read more

Great breakfast sandwich. Great people. Tucked away off the lobby so not so easy to find, but well worth it.

Food was excellent and well prepared! The service was excellent, the gentleman was really kind & welcoming to my family and I. Best deli spot I found here next to my hotel. This was a cute shop as my wife says :) I recommend it if you want a bomb deli sandwich read more

Hidden gem! Great food and excellent service. Small dining area. Perfect stop for quick sandwiches. Breakfast served all day.

This was the only cafe in the area that I could find with gluten free bread which is what led me here. You enter through a parking garage on Sutter Street and follow the signs to a door which will lead you to a very small and cute cafe with a not so small menu. There were over a dozen sandwich options all which could be made with gluten free bread! They LOADED this sandwich with meat and sauce and that is truly my love language. I tried the pastrami salami combo sandwich and it was better than I expected. I wanted to go back the next day but sadly they are closed on the weekend. This place is perfect for all of your quick sandwich needs. read more

Sutter Street Cafe - Pastrami salami combo sandwich, gluten free bread - AMAZING - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been coming to this building for doctors appt the last year and a half and today was my first time stopping for food. I'm so glad I did! It's a cute little cafe located on the first floor by the parking garage entrance. It's a little tight but perfect for a quick bite. The server was so friendly bummed I didn't get his name. The hash brown was cook to perfection- crispy and not soggy or oily. I got a regular coffee with half and half creamer and what I believe was the sutter st combo wrap. I added onion and chipotle mayo. Definitely hit the spot. Price was reasonable for the area. I would for sure come back and try one of their deli sandwiches. Come check them out if you are ever in the area. They also have some grab and go options like cheese and yogurts:) read more

How the owner is always great! Sandwiches are always fresh and their burger one of the best in Union square!

I remember when these small shops fed the Financial District. Every self-respecting office building had one, and they all verged on the miraculous, mom & pop proprietors working long hours, getting the coffee on well before 6am, serving breakfast and lunch, and generally closing around 3pm. The Sutter St. Cafe upholds this tradition, providing a surprisingly large menu of sandwiches and every inch of display space has enticing wares on display. The service is quick and to the point, the food comes out hot and well made. The ambiance is spartan but welcoming, a reminder that space in the FiDI is at a premium but designed for the people who make their living there. I visit my dentist in this building and the reward I get for getting my biannual checkup is a breakfast sando here, usually the #1. A classic example of a disappearing breed. read more

I got the healthy mix salad and the amount you get is really good for the value here in San Francisco! Everything was fresh and the people working there are nice and professional. Food is good too and sauce is on side. read more

This place could be hard to find but what you need to know that it's located inside an office building. You walk in and it's pretty tiny but you can tell that there's something special about this place. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich to my liking and I thoroughly enjoyed my custom sandwich. It was prepared well and was very tasty. The only criticism I would have is that the amount protein in the sandwich could have been much more. But despite that, I finished the whole sandwich and was fully satisfied. Definitely felt more like a homemade sandwich, which I enjoyed. read more

Great I love this place I have been coming here ever since I had my first appointment I am not from here. It's a great spot if you need a quick bite to get everything is fresh the service is a AAA+++.. love how they make everything so tasty read more

Sutter Street Cafe - Sandwich - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

Blue cheese sandwich was trash. Unprofessional hanging up on the phone mid convo. Lacked blue cheese maybe there was a sprinkle of it. Blue cheese lovers skip this place. There's more generous places out there with better more satisfying portions of blue cheese than just a sprinkle also it was more bread and lettuce than anything. Waste of $15. For that price, as an sf local, oh trust me there are way better sandwiches that are more filling than this place. TRUST ME. read more

Great food. Period. Made absolutely from scratch, the salad special was large and perfectly made with every ingredient fresh. The omelette was also as fresh as any I've had. The service was brisk and friendly. Would be a regular if I lived nearby read more

The people were kind food was decent but i got horrible food poisoning puking and having d***rrhea all night and the day after

this is a small place that can look like any ordinary sandwich shop, but it is now our favorite sandwich shop in San Francisco. we went while my husband was at Kaiser Hospital, and this lifted our spirits! the staff is the most sincere, kind, and helpful crew. my son and I agreed that the sandwiches were not just good, they were the best we ever had. the Dutch crunch bread is delicious. I had the vegan sandwich, and he had roast beef. they are huge. I ordered 1/2, and that was perfect. it would be easy to use as take out. my only regret is that we have to drive 75 minutes to get there! read more

Sutter Street Cafe - We could not wait to take a photo...best sandwich ever! - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

Awesome food after a long flight. The service was great and very prompt. Kind of hard to find but it was really good!

Food is 5 stars but I ordered online for the 1st time today and ordered through their website for a pickup and this is why I only give it a 3 star review. I went to pick up my order, a half black bean burger, and the owner/manager stated they didn't receive the order even though I got a confirmation. He also stated that they don't offer that burger in half size but on their website you can choose half or whole for $3.48 extra. But he said he would make a half size for me. They prepared it quickly but I questioned the price. I ended up paying $12.75 + $1.08 in tax for a total of $13.83 for just a half black bean burger and nothing else. On their menu at the deli, it shows the full black bean burger for $13.59 +tax. Basically paid the same price for a half as a whole sandwich just because I ordered it online. The owner stated that it's much cheaper to call in or order in person. He explained that there are higher prices because of the online ordering service like Grubhub,however, I specifically chose to order through the deli website because it didn't show any extra charge. I'm very disappointed how the deli handled this and upset that I paid full price for a half. I recommend eating their but NEVER order online! read more

Came in on a Tuesday for lunch. Right in the middle of a rush they had. It's really small, only 2 people behind the counter and they were working hard to get everyone's order out. I had the sutter wrap with bacon, and a hash brown. Both pretty good. It hit the spot. I will be back to try their deli sandwiches. read more

Good deli tucked in an office building. With no street front, you can easily walk right by it. The building is bronze-colored, art deco. Walk in through the lobby or the parking garage. Plenty of choices for breakfast or lunch. I had the Sutter Street Special. (basically ham and cheese on a bagette) It's a good one. Both breakfast and lunch are available. Grab something to go and make a picnic of it in Union Square. read more

We were searching for a restaurant that had more than three and a half stars and this is what we had finally settled on. We were not disappointed!! My boyfriend ordered the Niman Ranch Pulled Pork Sandwich. He said it had a great flavor and the bread had a nice crunch. The sandwich was a great size for the price. I ordered the Roast Beef Special Sandwich and it was amazing! I loved that it was warm and not hot. The flavor was amazing and the avocado made it so creamy. I did end up taking the pickles off because I liked the flavor better without, but such a good sandwich! All in all, we will definitely be back! read more

What friendly service! We came in for a quick bite and coffee while waiting to get a Rental car and they were So nice. I ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches and then asked for a coffee also. Our server politely told me that breakfast sandwiches ordered before 11am come with a free hashbrown and coffee! So I wouldn't need to get an extra order (instead, we ended up with 2 coffees and 2 hashbrowns included). We also got a club sandwich which was a hit! I'm so glad I found this place while we were waiting for our car. It's this kind of mom-and-pop service and friendly customer care that anyone would love to have in a small deli like this. The food quality was fantastic as well. I loved it and would gladly go back anytime. PROS: exceptional and friendly customer service. great food! CONS: none, except it's a bit small in there, a few tables to sit at (but I think it's really supposed to be a to-go place) BOTTOM LINE: Next time I'm in the area, I'll stop by for breakfast. These guys are great. You won't regret it if you come by for a bite to eat. read more

Sutter Street Cafe - Front door signage - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

I discovered this gem of a spot because it's in the same building as my dentist. My favourite sandwich is the Angus Burger, and they use Neiman Ranch meats, so humanely sourced. I get their breakfast plates, too- it's a good value and freshly made. However my fav thing about this place(besides the awesome customer service?) There is this Gelato that is locally made, called Fiorelli's in individual servings that I love. It has interesting flavours, like Earl Gray Tea, and their Salted Caramel is TDF! This place is worth stopping by. They also have gourmet snacks for purchase, from around the world. Lots of interesting drink choices, including kombucha. If you are in the area, check it out. You don't be disappointed or left hungry. read more

Even with our directions we somehow managed to walk right past the entrance there's a small, black sign hanging from the wall at the garage entrance at the same address and right behind it is one of the entrances into the cafe. This was a great place to grab some brunch! They have many breakfast (& regular) sandwiches options as well as bakery goods, coffee/tea, and even boba! The staff was friendly and the food was prepared fast. Indoor dining remains closed, but Union Square is just a short walk and we were able to enjoy our sandwiches in the sunshine. read more

Sutter Street Cafe - Small 3-incg sutter st cafe special sandwich. - Cafes Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was in the building for some work and parked in the garage next to the Cafe. As I was walking past there was this amazing smell of fresh coffee that just pulled me in. It's a super tiny place with friendly staff. I couldn't resist myself ordering a sandwich. I ordered a veggie black bean sandwich. I was primed to be disappointed and kicking myself to give in to my cravings. I couldn't have been wrong. So happy to be wrong. The sandwich was amazing, the black bean pattie was flavorful and quite moist. You know most black bean things are so dry that you need to gulp them down with water but not this one. The sandwich was simple and to the point. Flavorful and simple, just as it is meant to be. If a place like this opened up nearer to my home I would definitely eat more veggie stuff :) read more

Food and service are amazing. I was pleased with the gluten free option for a breakfast sandwich. Very friendly too!

Great sandwiches, also the guy who works behind the counter is super enthusiastic and friendly. I think it might be a little pricey, but honestly downtown San Francisco is expensive everywhere so I think the price is worth what you get. read more
