    Mango açaí bowl
    Daniela B.

    I've been wanting to try this spot for a while, and overall it's a solid option if you're in the mood for an açaí bowl, coffee, or a quick sandwich. The location is great just a few blocks away from the beach. I ordered the Westside special sandwich and it was decent, but my order wasn't quite right. I had asked for no bacon and expected it to come with Monterey Jack cheese, but it came with American cheese instead. Not a dealbreaker, but a bit disappointing. As for the açaí bowls, I tried both the mango (unintentionally again order wasn't taken right) and the regular. The mango version was okay, but a little too sweet for my taste and leaned more toward an ice cream-like flavor. The regular açaí, though, was really good and definitely the standout. Service was a great and the staff were very friendly! Overall, I'd come back, especially for the classic açaí bowl, but would double-check my order next time.

    Dubai Chocolate Strawberry  Cup

    Stumbled upon this spot I've always seen online and have been wanting to try but never looked into where in the city it was. Me and my friends tried the popular Dubai chocolate strawberry cup. It was absolutely delicious, although a bit on the pricey side at almost $20. The size is pretty big though, so definitely shareable. I would come back and try other things on their menu like their açaí bowls or breakfast sandwiches

    Small, no frills shop. Got the Dubai chocolate strawberry cup. It was quite delicious and I especially loved the toasted kataifi on top which added a nice crunch. The price for it was pretty steep though coming at $18.75 for a cup.

    The lox was a little wet. It was the last portion in the bag . My bagel was not toasted . It was busy so I had to wait a little bit. . The place had a lot of photos. The place is pretty big. . I was looking forward to visiting this place but I was unfortunately not impressed.

    This is a very cute cafe. Beautiful artwork on the walls and nicely written menus. Everything is clean and neat in here. The workers are very nice and give you a warm welcome. The food was so tasty. They have very thick bacon that was cooked to perfection! I also love the zebra mocha. It was only $7 for a medium. I would've paid double at Starbucks for the same size and it wouldn't taste as good. I think there was chocolate candy or something melted inside of it. The fudge frappé is like drinking chocolate milk and coffee together. Super tasty. I will definitely go back and try some lunch next time!

    Summer 2025: Dubai chocolate strawberry cup was hella good. Not too sweet and had lots of strawberries. Great to share between 2 people. Might be too much for 1. Placed an order for pickup on their website so mine didn't look as pretty as people that ordered there. Others looked like they got more strawberries, mine looked like it had more kataife. Still totally worth the $20 after tax. I'll be back!

    Small cafe in Sunset area of SF. Barely any seating and seems like people just takeout from here. Classic sandwich spot in SF with açaí and Dubai chocolate strawberries. Dubai chocolate cup was over $20 after tax and tip! Big and delicious but a bit pricey. Pistachio could have been stronger. Would come again if I were in the area!

    DUBAI CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY CUP - 4.5/5
    Michael C.

    I'd been here years ago... and had nothing but good things to say. That hasn't changed. Looks like they pivoted their business a bit and are capitalizing on the viral Dubai Chocolate Trend. Kudos to them! #ViralTrends: ~ DUBAI CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY CUP - 4.5/5 They use melted Belgium Chocolate... the big difference maker! Commonly regarded as the best Chocolate in the world... which explains the rich, creamy and chocolatey, yet not too sweet profile. It's a bit on the pricey side at slightly over $20 after tax, but well worth it. I wouldn't finish it myself, you are most definitely asking for an immense Blood Sugar spike. It's large enough to finish half in one sitting and enjoy the other half later. Packed with Strawberries, Kunafa and good amount of melted Chocolate. Don't get it to go, you'll feel short changed. Order it to enjoy on the spot and then ask for a lid. The presentation is even better as well. If this had more of a Pistacho taste it would be a full 5 ***** for me!

    When anything on social media blows up, you always gotta wonder if its a hit or miss. Welcome Dubai chocolate. I'm not a baker so I wasn't gona make my own. I'm also not a hardcore "foodie" so I'm not going to put tooooo much effort and search for this item. But one day, after eating a full container of shabu meat for lunch, I needed something sweet to offset all that meat. Low and behold, I see Dubai chocolate cups at Yonkers. Sweet. I drive over and to my luck, no wait. Dubai Chocolate cups - the chocolate was rich and milky. The filling was silky but I didn't really taste the pistachio. The crispy knafeh was crispin alright. And the strawberries fresh. I googled the price of a bar of Dubai chocolate and holy smokes! I'm glad i just had to pay a portion for a taste of it here. Overall, would I pay $18 again for this treat, probably not.

    4.5 STARS I know some may be sick and tired of hearing about Dubai chocolate. The trend is getting out of pocket to the point there's even Dubai chocolate perfume. Great way to attract chocolate addicts and big backs! As someone that usually doesn't care for chocolate, I've been weirdly obsessed with Dubai chocolate since it went viral last year. I've had some awful Dubai chocolate and Dubai chocolate inspired desserts where some businesses are only trying to monetize off this viral trend BUT... Yonkers Cafe's Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup ($18)? Loved it. It's currently on my Top 2 fav, after Hanna's Dubai Chocolate Bar (Pleasanton). Large perfectly ripen, juicy sweet strawberries smothered in sweet but not too sweet melted Belgium chocolate and thick, creamy pistachio cream with deliciously crunchy kataifi (toasted shredded phyllo dough). So deliciously satisfying. We shared a cup and contemplated getting another one. Yes, $18 ($23 after tax+tip) is kinda ridic for a cup of strawberries (it was $15 last month) but compared to ONE (yes "one") Elly Amai's Strawberry at Erewhon for $19, this is a steal and you're supporting a small local business. But.... We visited on a weekday and they weren't too busy yet our cup was missing the crushed pistachios and strawberry crown so I can't give 5 stars. Hope they work on serving customers a consistent product. P.S. - Order ahead via Yonkers Cafe's website to skip the line and long wait on the weekends!

    Came here around 4:30pm on a Saturday and there was no line! We ordered the strawberries with Dubai chocolate for $18 (not including tip and tax) and it was tasty. It had crunchy bits on it too that added a nice texture. This was my second time trying Dubai chocolate and I wish it was more pistachio-y but maybe that's not how it's supposed to be? I definitely recommend sharing as it's very rich. My 2 friends and I shared one cup and were very satisfied afterwards.

    (NOTE: I can't actually rate the food becuase we didn't have any! We stopped in to ask about…read moreomelettes and the staff members recommended we head a few doors down to TJ Cafe, which we did, (see separate review). I just gave it 5 stars becuse everybody else has and I see no need to bring down the rating.) On the way back to our car from TJ Cafe, i noticed, through the window, that the wall of bottles was actually topped by a big sign saying non-alcholic! Having been a member of a non-drinking community since 1962, I was fascinated to see such display and dropped in to check it out We spent some 15 minutes with Josh, an ex-bar tender, explaining his philosophy on the social need for community life withoug depending on alcohol (See his Youtube channel: "Josh the non-Alcoholic" for more on this). Josh gave my wife a free cup of coffee since TJ Cafe down the road had no had free refills, and we entered a draw to win a bottle of non-Alcoholic French wine. Josh surprised us by telling us that the French wine industry is going big on non-alcoholic wines. I bought a can of Vanua Bliss - a Mango flavoured Kava drink - vastly different from the Kava served to me during my 3 years stay on Tanna, New Hebrides (1977 to 1980) which was made by youth chewing the kava in their mouths, spitting it out on to a coconut sheath, then pouring water into it and squeezing it into a half shell of a coconut and cerimoniously handing it to you under the shade of a huge Nambunga tree as the twilight deepened! Such are memories made of. While Kava is not alcoholic, it does have some muscle relaxant properties and give a weird buzz of the tongue. I wish him well in his endeavour to allow the teetotaler community to enjoy the social aspects of drinks with their meals, without worring about the alcohol destroying our brain cell and livers!

When I came up to the place, it was nice to see that there was some tables out front with a couple chairs because I was with my wife and I thought will this be a nice way to have our sandwich instead of sitting in the car. We are in San Francisco on an appointment. This place was recommended to us by a friend at the VA hospital in San Francisco at Fort Miley. He knew the owners and said they'd make quality foods that you can take out or eat there. Nola, the owner greeted us at the counter. We introduced ourselves as a friend of her friends and said I came strictly over here to have a Reuben. I looked over-the-counter a little bit and I could see a sandwich they were building while I was there and I went oh my gosh mine looks half that good I'm happy. Generous portions of meat tomatoes lettuce all the toppings. They also use top ingredients here. This place is small, but it has a big heart and the food is delicious. If you're thinking, I don't wanna sit at a restaurant then you should think about coming here and getting a sand and taking it down to the beach and enjoying it there right where you bought it they have tables. Please be sure to look at the photos. I've posted for this place. I'm sure that afterwards you will probably wanna have one yourself. I will definitely return. This will be my go to place. And thank you Nola for making our visit special.

    This is probably the only place where the sandwiches don't taste like the store's essence…read more I mean, don't get me wrong, a store's essence from any given deli/liquor store definitely adds unique character to the sandwich and sometimes I want that in a sandwich. But when you want a sandwich that only tastes like its ingredients, Irving Subs is the spot. Their Dutch crunch is famous for being fresh and actually crunchy. Their lettuce is shredded but fresh and crispy. The salt content is just enough to bring out the flavors. And the overall composition of their sandwiches are very well proportioned. You're not getting skimped, but you're also not biting into a mouthful of a packet of deli meat. They definitely know what they are doing. Service is good and ambiance is a small humble shop on the corner of 12th Ave.

    When I first tried Irving Subs (years ago!), I got the November sandwich on Dutch crunch and recall…read moreliking it - well-portioned for the cost, sweet/savory combo (sliced turkey, cranberry sauce, white cheddar, thick cut bacon). Back then, there were sliced cucumbers in the sandwich. I finally returned again recently and tried the Giants sandwich (turkey, cheddar, thick cut bacon, avocado) and Goodfellas (salami, mild coppa, prosciutto, provolone, pesto sauce). The Goodfellas was a bit too salty with the meats + pesto sauce. I think more lettuce/tomatoes/red onions and slightly less meats would've helped balance it out better. I had requested extra red onions, but it looked like the same amount as the other sandwich we got with no extra onions. Also was not a big fan of their pesto. We both preferred the Giants, which was relatively more balanced, but it was still not a very exciting sandwich. The primary flavor was salt, with only a few bites of sourness from the pickles, yet it also gave the overall impression of blandness. The house garlicky mayo didn't have any noticeable garlicky-ness. I also couldn't taste any of the brown mustard or house vinaigrette. The Dutch crunch bread was quite dry and both thin and dense. It looked so good in the pics since it's so stacked with colorful ingredients, but it did not pull through in terms of flavor. Halfway through I was just eating it to fill my belly with sustenance rather than enjoying it (though I didn't hate it either). Prices still seem pretty reasonable for the portion size; that would probably be the main draw for me if I ever return again. Maybe I will give the November sandwich one more shot next time.
