    Latte
    Luke W.

    Excellent small caffeine drip, we got some lattes. Great staff, chill environment, I didn't find anything sensational or experimental here unlike ube, hot honey, and reduced Champaign syrups sticking Midwest coffee in all directions however this did us just fine staring our city adventure.

    Americano hazelnut w/ everything bagel and cream cheese

    This cute little spot serves up tasty coffees with small breakfast plates. Located within a main hotel, its cute, comfortable small interior gives you a break from the busy street. We tried their hot Americano with hazelnut and it was just what we needed to start our day. We also grabbed an everything bagel that was loaded with cream cheese. This spot offers various refreshments and their restroom is located in the hotel and you need to the key from the cafe.

    Chai Latte

    Just tried a drink here recently after a run! Service was friendly, and I ordered one of their hot Chai Lattes. There is minimal seating indoors, but most of it was taken up by customers since it was quite cold outside. My Chai Latte came in a cute cup with their logo on it. Since I was okay braving the cold, I sat in their fancy outdoor seating area, equipped with a fireplace. The latte itself had a tasty chai taste and was quite warm when I received it, almost burning my tongue. On a cold spring morning in San Francisco, I'm glad I was able to give this place a try!

    Looked for a quick bite to eat in the area and this place is as good as their pictures and reviews. - salmon avocado toast 5/5 - latte with coconut 5/5 The open-faced sandwich was so hearty! So much topping and perfectly filling for a quick breakfast or lunch. Coffee was delightful, as requested. Latte with coconut syrup. I must try if you are in the area

    The Cafe is pretty simple; their food items are just common snacks you can make at home, and the price is perfectly reasonable. They have small amount of inside seating, but a lot of outdoor seatings that is shared with a Hotel. The wifi isn't super fast, but comparable with different coffee shops across SF. It does the job, and the coffee is good.

    I stopped by here with a group of four on a Saturday night. Got a chocolate strawberry smoothie, and a few other coffee and tea beverages. My smoothie had zero sweetness, and I could not taste any strawberry or chocolate flavor. It was very strange and kinda gross. Either there was something spoiled in the beverage (such as the fruit or milk) or they loaded it with artificial ingredients that are simply unpalatable. It would be different if the flavor was just weak, as I'll still sip on a bland or watered down smoothie. But what I got was not drinkable at all, and I had to throw it away. Everyone else who got a basic coffee or tea said their drinks were fine, not great but at least tolerable. Perhaps it was an off day, but I probably won't be back. I still gave this place 2 stars cuz staff was friendly and the place was cute with a few seats inside for hanging out with family and friends.

    The barista staff are the loveliest people! I needed to use the bathroom, but someone was using it at the time, and the barista was kind enough to let me know when the person was out and handed me the key card. Every interaction with them was so sweet. The inside is a wonderful place to hunker down for an afternoon chat or a work session. The seats are super comfy and there are little tables. We went around 2pm on Saturday, and there was plenty of seating. We got the matcha latte! Pretty smooth and frothy.

    This is for their açai bowl as my husband will drive 15 minutes to get theirs and think it's the best in the city and perhaps anywhere overall

    Breakfast Bagel

    the breakfast bagel ($10) was great when hot & fresh but the bagel got hard pretty fast once it cooled down. the place is pretty small and has limited seating. staff were pretty friendly!

    Ordered the Avocado Toast with a side of bacon. Extra points for the tasty, not very toasted, but holds up to eating by hand. Looks like the entire menu is grab & go. The avocado toast was beautifully presented topped with a lovely purple nasturtium, sans the utilitarian foam container. Menu has an abundance of bagel combinations, as well as some fine coffee & tea. Inside is 4 cafe tables, facing the windows, marble tops, cherry red stylish chairs. Theres a long banquet bench hugging the picture windows. Found out the cafe rents space in the Infinity Hotel by Hilton. That explains the classy chairs & fire pit outside. There's seems to be a 50/50 mix of locals, & tourists from the many motels (really cool vintage neon signs) dotting Lombard St. This is not the famous twisty portion of the street, rather, on a busy, noisy throughway towards the Golden Gate Bridge. I'll be returning to Twisted St. cafe for sure.

    Salmon Avocado Toast
    Jenny X.

    Came here after a run and got the salmon avocado toast. Good: - The salmon avocado was very pretty! In practice, it fell apart as I ate it though and it was well seasoned at least - The inside is heated which is great on a super cold day and there's a few small tables so about 10 people could fit inside - Food came quickly Bad: - Not too much seating inside - Small portion size but decently expensive - Nothing that blew my mind Overall wouldn't come back but it was okay, not the most memorable experience

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.
