    I had a wonderful lunch at Richfield on the corner of California Street and 5th Avenue. The sandwich was excellent--fresh, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. The service was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, and today, with the sunshine outside, it was the perfect spot for lunch or a leisurely "breggie" (breakfast + lunch). A great neighborhood place to unwind and enjoy delicious food. I'll definitely be back!

    I've walked, run, and taken Muni by the Richfield so many times--but never stopped in. They'd be closed in the afternoon or evening when I went by, but the shape of the building...of course my interest was piqued! One morning, I decided to venture farther away than usual for my morning coffee and a snack. I hopped on the trusty 1 bus and after a few minutes, was there ordering a Spicy Hawaiian ginger chai ($5.25) and spam musubi (with egg and avocado.) Drink was delicious, warm, and good for the soul--not overly sweet. The musubi was put together well and I liked the avocado! It's not easy to find spam musubi sometimes. While I was waiting in line to order and also for my order, I overheard some regulars talking (and that's how I know they were regulars.) Service was wonderful and personable. There's some pretty nice outdoor seating. I love the merch too!

    My husband and I stopped by before heading to the farmers market on a Sunday morning. I didn't pay attention when I initially looked this place up online and didn't realize that: 1) they no longer offer indoor seating; and 2) there are no actual cups to enjoy drinks on site. No indoor seating meant that I was a bit cold when drinking my coffee, and no actual cups meant I was sad that I didn't bring my reusable mug. In spite of that, the drinks were decent! My husband got the vanilla latte (seasonal) and I got the Apollo. We both really liked the vanilla latte and would get it again if it's available and we are in the area. I also tried one of their musubis--it was a solid snack option. Overall, it's a good grab-and-go neighborhood coffee spot.

    Here's a delightful corner cafe serving the locals. Takeout only, one park bench outside, alas, occupied. No matter, too cold this morning, ate in my car. 9:30am on a Saturday I drove past several purveyors of avocado toast. Alas, every place I passed had a long line. Smaller line here & it shortened rapidly. Orders appear at the window around the corner. Help yourself to napkins, etc. I ordered tea and avocado toast with fried egg on top. I asked for the bread to be toasted. It was not. (Why call it toast?). The yummy bread comes from a bakery in Pacifica. I asked that the egg not be too runny. The top had runny, clear, obviously uncooked egg white. I let it slide off & ate the cooked part. Avocado mash generous, creamy goodness, sprinkled with seeds & chili flakes. More chili please. I'm giving them a pass on my order, as the super friendly staff was clearly slammed. The Richfield deserves another visit on a weekday. I'm sure the results will be much better. This is a place you can roll up to with your dog, counted 5 on my visit. Parking difficult, most people walked here from their nearby homes and appeared to know each other. In closing, worth a visit. Support Local!

    matcha latte

    ordered the matcha latte ($5.50) but it was too milky and I barely tasted any matcha once I mixed

    Cool takeout only spot in the Richmond that serves a simple menu of coffee, pastries and breakfast items. Coffee here is quite good and worth a trip out of your way to get it. The y serves bagels from the laundrymat which is also a plus.

    After some food coma from lunch, we needed a good coffee fix. The Richfield popped up in our search with promising reviews and it was closeby so we gave it a go! Coming from Clement, it's around the corner and initially hard to spot but with a take out window and some merch hanging outside, we spotted it. There were a few tables outside for you to sit while ordering it done by a takeout window. The coffee really hit the spot with a good balance of coffee to milk to sweetness. Really appreciated how local this place felt as well. Recommend: Cafecito Brevano

    I absolutely loved the spot where this cafe is located! It's on a tiny intermittent junction between two busy streets and the appeal is soooo good! They serve Proyecto coffee which in my opinion wasn't dark enough (and mind me I have given it multiple tries at other places too). In addition to coffee, they have a few pastries and musubi on their menu. Although not for the coffee, but I will certainly go back just to sink in the vibe of the location :)

    Quality coffee spot. A gem in this area for sure. Since 2015. Take out only. No more sitting space indoors. Nice people too

    I love when I accidentally stumble across a good coffee! We were on our way to Green Apple Books and the Clement Street Farmers Market down the block when I saw a bunch of people waiting on the corner of this little shop. It's just an window/counter that you order at, with no indoors. There is a bench to wait for your drinks. They use Snowbird Coffee and I enjoyed my cappuccino and my husband enjoyed his Ethiopia pourover. We didn't try anything else, but they have some pastries, along with musubis which seemed random! Service was fine and the drinks were pretty fast. Will be back when we return for the farmer's market!

    Really terrible watery low effort matcha latte
    Andii S.

    Bagel is decent, maybe a 6.5 out of 10, but by god they make the worst iced matcha latte I've ever drank in my life. It is soooo watery, and I ordered mine with whole milk! I even had to ask the barista to add more milk to which she tried to push back saying that this was the max they could give for a 12 ounce drink. I explained that it was watery and she went ahead and added more whole milk. I tried it again and somehow it's still so bad. I then let my partner try it without any context or prompting and his immediate response was "that's completely awful." Big yikes, do NOT order a matcha latte from here.

    Only a few pastries left
    Helen L.

    This building was an insurance building. It's a nice little place to sell coffee. TGTG got me here. I got a coffee and it smelled and taste very fresh. It reminded me of drinking coffee from a coffee farm. I will come back to taste their spice ginger chai. Their pastries are selling out. They have laundromat bagels and they are the best bagels Reading someone's review, please get extra cream cheese. This is a huge bagel and requires super Size cream cheese.

It needed some fried crispyness and a little more flavor of the garlic and onions. The sweet bell peppers were too sweet, and made it taste more American fusion than Michoacán. Nice portion size. The fish, I wouldn't recommend. Lacked seasoning, fish was small and I wish there was a tasty sauce for it or for the red cabbage. 4/10 Tortillas were stale as hell. Was very disappointed since that is literally the foundation of a taco. Honestly this spot is just okay. I'm not sure if I'd come back to spend $7-8 per taco, it's honestly very expensive for what they're serving. Staff were friendly. There is also a 4% surcharge.

A charming little bistro inspired by the Marlowe cows, I'm assuming, managed to stun us with several memorable dishes. The warm deviled eggs were an excellent start. Savory yet delicate enough to not weigh us down right at the beginning of our meal. The horseradish aioli wasn't for me, but I can see its appeal for a certain audience. You give me a Calabrian chili sauce and it's guaranteed to make me happy and this shrimp with sweet corn was no exception. Again, light but a punchy flavor that was enjoyable. I could go on and on about the different dishes we tried but the real standout of the night was the pork tenderloin with chorizo and peaches. The sweetness from the peaches somehow managed to enhance the flavor of the chorizo. This dish gives you a bold, savory and sweet bite all together but still won't have you feeling super heavy. The portion size is perfect. Im hoping to return soon for another exquisite meal.

    TLDR: Super lively spot for dinner in the heart of North…read moreBeach. Portions are large and everything is great to share. Awesome spot for big groups and comfort food. Decor is more old school and it can get loud, so be prepared to shout over dinner. ------ FOOD 1. VEAL PARMIGIANA (4/5) Tender veal with a light breading that paired very well with the cheese and tomato sauce. Large portion that was easy to cut and share. Wish the edges were a tad crispier. Appreciated that it came with a side (we chose the ravioli). Wasn't life changing, but it was solid. 2. SPICY VODKA RIGATONI (4/5) Pasta was perfectly al dente. They poured a very healthy amount of sauce on the rigatoni such that the pasta was well coated and there were small pools of sauce in each piece of pasta. Sauce has a pretty strong kick to it. It's not overwhelming, but I think it was enough for me to only have a few pieces before I called it a night. 3. TRUFFLE FRIES (4/5) For the most part these are excellent. It's a mountain of very thin, crispy fries (what McDonald's dreams it could be). The truffle flavor is very prominent, and the two different sauces this comes with are excellent (one is a traditional mayo and the other was slightly sweet). However, some of those fries were so salty as to be inedible. Remember to drink lots of water. 4. BREAD SERVICE (3.5/5) Of course, hard to hate on a free bread service. They came out with a big basket of thick sourdough bread slices and a small butter keeper. Since the bread was room temp, it wasn't very special and it was tough to pull apart. But the flavor was there, and the softened butter was appreciated, despite the small butter portion relative to our bread portion. 5. JOE'S RAVIOLI (2.5/5) Unfortunately the only big let down of the night. The ravioli had so little filling that I actually could barely taste it even though I could see it. The outer layer of pasta was relatively thick too, so it overpowered what little filling there was. The ravioli also stuck to each other, so I ended up just biting through multiple pieces of ravioli at a time and scoping up tomato sauce from the container so that I could add flavor to the taste of the pasta dough. Large portion though! ------ ENVIRONMENT / AMBIANCE * Old-school decor featuring red leather booths, ornate wooden banisters, and lots of separate rooms throughout the restaurant. Lots of tables and always packed * Darker ambient mood lighting. Definitely more casual feeling than their sister Little Original Joe's location in the Marina * The restaurant is in the heart of North Beach right next to Washington Square Park, Tony's Pizza, and Flour + Water Pizzaria ------ SERVICE * You really need a reservation to dine here. You could probably walk in and get a seat by the kitchen in the back, but it's super crowded back there, waiters and customers are constantly weaving back and forth behind you, and it's overall not nearly as nice as sitting at a table (not always the case at restaurants!) * Our waiter was fine. He did the trick but wasn't particularly warm or helpful. Was attentive with filling our waters throughout the night
