    We ordered 3 subs and a soup. Everything was good. I kinda wish we stopped here just before the flight out because it was so much better than the options at the airport!

    Breakfast sandwich
    Hannah T.

    12.12.2024. Breakfast sandwich with ham. 8.96. Food came out really fast which I appreciated, so a good place to stop by on your way into work. I got the cheese bagel with my breakfast sandwich. Pretty generous with the ham and it was very cheesy. But overall a little dry. It could definitely benefit from some kind of sauce or salsa.

    I was here on Friday last week with my sisters for a day in SF en route to the SF Museum of Modern Art for the Yayoi Kusama exhibit event. We decided to have a breakfast part 2 here. My older sister and I got the bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese, tomatoes, onions and capers, one on a cheese bagel and another on a plain bagel. I can't remember what my younger sister got, but the food here was great. Everything about this place was great, including the service, the workers there, and the food. I hope to come back here soon next time I'm in SF.

    A nice stop while walking around. My husband an I both ordered bagel sandwiches, but unfortunately the bagels were switched. We didn't ask to have them remade, but it was a bit disappointing. They had a decent amount of toppings. Small inside, but it had some seating. I didn't see a public restroom.

    Bagel

    For me it's the best bagel in the city!! Good price and the people who works there are very friendly. Service 10/10

    Pear, beet, goat cheese salad!

    10/10 for flavor and size of chicken sandwiches! One sandwich is easily enough for two. They don't skimp on ingredients! I had the pear, beet, and goat cheese salad with balsamic vinaigrette! Loaded with the freshest ingredients, non of the greens were wilted. Pretty much a whole pear, walnuts, and the perfect amount of cheese. A whole rainbow of antioxidants. Honestly this salad was easily enough for 2-3 people. I had it the next day as well. Great value for a gourmet salad.

    I've been going to Working Girls for about 5 years. It's the best sandwich spot in downtown San Francisco. They have a huge selection of sandwiches and salads. Everything is fresh and tasty. The gentleman at the register has a memory like an elephant. And he is super kind and just a great guy. If you find yourself near Kearney, give Working Girls a try. You can order online if you are having one of those important meetings with a client. And they will deliver too. Matt says check Working Girls out. They have three locations.

    Italian Sub
    Adam B.

    I really wanted to like this place more, given its popularity (both on Yelp and in-person). But the sandwich competition in town now is pretty strong, so my expectations were higher. Their meatloaf sandwich was decent, but the other two were pretty meh. Italian Sub: Their Italian sub is just two meats, ham and salami. They disclose this on the menu, so it wasn't a surprise. But it just doesn't feel as a exciting as Italian subs from other places (especially in nearby North Beach) which use more types of meat, with a slant towards imported Italian meats. The ham was a bit too thick cut and seemed like Safeway-quality. House Made Meatloaf Sandwich: My favorite sandwich of the ones I tried. The meatloaf was full of meaty flavor with some veggies in the mix too. If I was having meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy, this wouldn't be meaty/dense enough for me. But on a sandwich, the somewhat diluted texture works really well. Spicy Thai Chicken Breast Sandwich: The chicken breast was unseasoned and a bit dry. The peanut sauce helped liven it up a bit, but the spice profile was kinda mild. So it tasted mostly like peanut butter with a little coconut milk, but none of the zing of satay. The cucumber and red onions worked well as a veggie choice.

    Italian Sub (added mustard & Dutch crunch bread). 5/5
    Shannon P.

    Staple lunch spot in FiDi. If I don't know what I want for lunch I usually go to Working Girls. It's filling and reliable. Past orders: - Spicy Cajun Bowl -- 5/5 -- bomb salad with flavorful meat - Spicy Cajun Sandwich -- 5/5 -- flavorful sandwich. Bread can make it dry. - Italian Sub - 5/5 - tons of meat! - Red Snapper Sandwich -- 3/5 -- fish tasted pre-frozen and there wasn't much in it. Other pics look much better than what we got.

    I was in need of a coffee and possibly something better than my oatmeal I packed. I walked over to Working Girls' Cafe and there was no line. I was greeted, ordered, and my items were ready in a flash. I got a large coffee and a breakfast sandwich #1 on French bread. I forgot to take a picture of my sandwich but I will say it was so good! This was not a wimpy sandwich and it kept me full most of the day. It was also a good deal for downtown. A sandwich and coffee for under $10 is a deal! I'll be back again to try something new.

    Good sandwich spot for lunch. The Italian sub is pretty filling and they don't hold back on the meats and veggies. Sandwich had a good ratio of flavor and moisture and felt fairly healthy. I'd come again for a healthy meal in the area

    Stuck looking for a good place to catch something to eat and drink while we wait for our visa applications. My husband had a protein bowl yummy ! I had an iced mocha . Fantastic stuff and all very fresh!!

    Prosciutto Sandwich. Had fresh prosciutto, mozzarella, lettuce, basil, and balsamic vinegar on a fresh baguette.

    This is a great little "hole in the wall" deli. It's right in the heart of the financial district, very close to the Dragon Gate. They are very quick and efficient. They originally made my sandwich incorrectly and were very quick to correct and so nice about the whole thing. The sandwich was delicious and very filling. They are a really good size and I easily have a second meal. I also got a chai latte that was very nice. It seems they have a lot of regulars and they work to remember them, asking about their day and checking in on them. The only downside is that there is no public restroom on the premises. Otherwise, it's a really nice little place.

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.

At 11 am on a Sunday they were out of their best- black sesame Kouign Amann and the Raspberry Almond Croissant, which I took care of by paying a visit to Juniper bakery (sister business) later in the day. The Mocha with the house made nut milk fell flat. It needed something. I am not a fan of syrupy coffees and appreciate the more purist approach but this one just didn't do anything for me. The chai latte which I would never order was actually the best chai latte I have ever had, it was smooth like silk. Maybe I just had the wrong coffee order. Besides that, got the hot chocolate and the coffee tasting. I was surprised there was no explanation provided with the coffee- I figured it's all Honduran but an overview of some sort would have helped. I enjoyed all the coffees in there except the latte. Will visit again, earlier in the day so they are not out of their best sellers and try a different order.

I have gone to Blackbird a handful of times and have enjoyed the experience each time. Blackbird is primarily a bookstore, but they do have an outdoor window where you can order drinks ranging from matcha (Rocky's Matcha, if you're curious about which brand they use), lattes, and tea. They also carry a good amount of pastries (even mid-day, they have a lot of goodies), which I really appreciated. When you order your drink, you have to enter inside the bookstore to wait for your drink to be called, but you can take the time to stroll around and look at their book selection and trinkets. Heads up: the seating here is limited but very lovely. Inside, there are a couple of community tables, but their outdoor area is absolutely magical, with lush greenery and benches for you to enjoy your drinks. This time around, I got one of their seasonal drinks, a honey lavender vanilla latte, and I paired it with an Earl Grey olive oil loaf.

Matcha latte with whole milk : It's very savory which is great, unsweetened by default. I thought this was one of the better matchas I've had if you want to be able to taste the matcha strongly. Olive oil spelt cake: It reminds me of pound cake. Not that sweet except the frosting/icing. It was okay but as someone who's not as fond of that kind of cakey texture, I'd probably not get it again. They have a really lovely garden and patio in the back. There is also a bathroom. The acoustics and set up for events isn't great, though. It was hard for me to concentrate on the speaker for the book talk since you can hear the noises from the cafe behind and also the sounds of other store customers all around you. That was the only downside, but I think it's a very charming bookstore otherwise.

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.
