    #2 Breakfast Melt with bacon, egg, avocado, on wheat toast.
    Lynn F.

    Wednesday, 11:30am I wandered off course from Union Square & ended up on busy Kearny Street in the Financial District. Working Girl Cafe on the corner. Ok, so there's 2 working men at the counter, whatever, gender is merely a construct in San Francisco. Nothing fancy here, but it's clean & cheerful. Total fail in ordering. I came in and stated I wanted Avocado Toast. What I got was a #2 Breakfast Melt with bacon, avocado on wheat toast. It was delicious, but will not make it into my now 70 + reviews of avocado toast. The cafe has a steady stream of regulars, probably from the surrounding office buildings & shops. Super friendly & fast service. A lot of grab-'n-go here, but they do have 5 cafe tables & a counter. Nobody lingering over a coffee staring at their laptop. These customers have places to go. Steady stream of cars outside, clanging metal containers in the kitchen. This place will keep your adrenaline running. If you're a tourist, this is a great place to avoid the pricey hotel food. I would return for the friendly greeting & being called awesome. Leaving with a smile. Support Local!

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

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.

Their galbi patty was good too, reminiscent of a Philly cheesesteak. I also tried their banana oat milk latte w/ decaf espresso, and unfortunately it wasn't too pleasant tasting to me, as the decaf espresso was on the sour side & it didn't complement the banana flavor (puree) that well. Maybe their matcha or hojicha version works better. Overall, I would return for their unique & well executed breakfast sandwich. Staff were nice + helpful.

Definitely brings back some nostalgia with the Melona bar flavor -- it was so good I ordered a 2nd one to go. My husband had their Banana Oat Milk latte and it was a good balance of flavor and sweetness (not too sweet). We also tried their popcorn chicken, kimchi fried rice, and galbi patty melt. Next time I'd skip the patty melt--flavor was good but it was messy and not worth $16 IMO. the kimchi fried rice and chicken were worth it tho!

Whether you are in the mood for a katsu sando, curry over rice, ochazuke with their matcha twist, or something sweet like the matcha cream pie, it is hard to go wrong here. All of the savory dishes I have tried have been great, but the fish katsu sando is one of my absolute favorites. The huge fish fillets are perfectly fried and flaky, tucked inside pillowy shokupan and topped with tangy yuzu shio koji sauce, tomato spread, and fresh crunchy cabbage. Every component works together beautifully, with richness, brightness, and texture all in balance. The pork katsu curry over rice is another standout. The katsu comes sliced into thick pieces that are still juicy inside, and it is fried expertly so the breading stays attached as you eat it. The curry has a really balanced flavor, even if I would not mind a little more spice, while the pickled radishes provide a nice contrast. I always add an onsen egg (for an additional $2) because breaking the runny yolk and mixing it into the curry adds another layer of velvety richness and creaminess. You can also tell they use high-quality matcha in their drinks, so the beverage menu is really more about choosing what fits your mood that day vs avoiding any bad options.

My babka was plated on a dainty ceramic dish, which matched the old-school European cafe vibes. The babka was light and fluffy, yet the outside was crisp and buttery like a croissant. The salted chocolate layers folded into the pastry were the perfect balance of sweet and salty, and the chocolate tasted high-quality. One babka could have probably been split into two servings, especially if you want to try multiple items, but I didn't leave behind a single crumb. All around us, the other diners seemed to be enjoying a full-scale brunch with savory pastries and what appeared to be a Turkish breakfast platter. It all smelled wonderful, so I'll have to explore more of the menu on my next visit. I enjoyed the mahlab cake a day later and was amazed that it retained its delicate and light texture. The icing was lightly flavored with orange, cherry, and floral notes, and the presentation was so elegant. The cake was the perfect accompaniment to my afternoon cup of tea. While I'm on a mission to try as many of SF's bakeries as I can, I am looking forward to returning to Loquat.
