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. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite before work or looking for a solid breakfast or lunch in the city, Sutter St. Cafe is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back! --And as an added bonus--you can see one of the last operating public pay phones just outside the front door door!

Egg, Bacon Sandwich with Hash Brown
Rob K.

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.

The photos on the walls are neat too

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

super friendly service, the vibe is comforting! Almost reminds me of an nyc cafe... Got the Sutter street burrito, talk about full of bacon the way the burritos are done here are fire, the perfect amount of bacon burrito, like the bacon is the main ingredient in it and egg is on the top! The perfect way !!

Pastrami salami combo sandwich, gluten free bread - AMAZING
Jessica B.

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.

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:)

Tiny cafe situated inside an office building that houses a Wells Fargo Bank on Sutter street. Amazing breakfast items, breakfast sandwiches, sandwiches and salads. Cafe has a few tables to sit if you want to stay and enjoy your meal at the Cafe. Definitely a spot for a moderately priced place to eat.

All around pleasant experience in terms of both the service and coffee. I had the flight and…read morethought it was overall good. 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.

It seems like there's also an upstairs but did not get the chance to check it out. I got an iced latte with their almond macadamia milk, and they're also so nice to do complimentary cold brew! 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.

They do offer WiFi is a great bonus and they have a restroom for customers. There is a couple of 2 person tables, a window side table for solo patrons, a communal table that can seat 6-8, and lots of outdoor seating. I would classify coffee shop as your neighborhood cafe that is great to get some work done and not necessarily a spot with unique drinks. They do have a good selection of pastries for you to try from (unfortunately I was too full prior to try!) I do appreciate that they did have samples for you to try out. Something cool I noticed is that they did have individual mini water pitchers with mini cups for you to take from their sugar/milk station. It's very thoughtful and I appreciate the attention to detail. Not a spot to drive to or add to the list as a must try but if you need a spot to lock in, this is a good choice if you're in the area :)

Scan the qr code to order and they'll bring your drinks/food up to you I thought the food was quite good. I ordered the Galbi Patty Melt which came in the form of a croissant sandwich that had a great size and flavors. A friend ordered the kimchi fried rice. The portions and flavors on both were solid for a cafe. Definitely worth getting some food if youre planning on staying for a while. For coffee, i ordered the sohn signature cream top. This was a little underwhelming, as i felt the espresso didnt come through as strongly as i would have liked. The cream top also did not have much flavor which made it feel more like a normal latte than a signature item. Not bad, but not a must have either. Overall will come back. Good vibes, and a solid place to work from. There are some tables upstairs that are right under the AC, so it can be a little breezy

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. Even then, I don't think any tasteless tech bro are hopeless to create anything unique or beautiful.
