Coffee, pastries, and ambiance are great!
Cute family-owned cafe with convenient seating and a relaxed vibe right along the pleasant Sanchez slow street project. Great coffee and a good selection of pastries; it's a welcome respite from the normal busy and noisy city street cafes whether you want to wake up with caffeine or wind down with wine or beer.
Trying a different cafe in downtown SF each time we’re downtown. Today it was Noe Cafe. was the warmest day of the year so far - it was nice to have found a cafe with some outdoor seating so we could soak up the warm sunshine. There’s a queue spilling out of the cafe. It’s around 1pm in the afternoon. We get in line. Everyone in our group wants an iced drink. We get to the counter and they don’t have any ice. Nobody in the cafe seems to be interested in getting any ice. We ordered some hot drinks, the rest of the line of people left.
Great coffee and delicious pastries. They have great sandwiches for lunches well. Every Thursday they have tacos which are delicious!
A nice place to go with friends.
Cute spot in the heart of Noe with good coffee, gluten free pastries (if you go in the morning), and non gluten free (but delicious according to my husband) empanadas in the afternoons. Good outdoor seating and it is on a slow street so you can actually sit and enjoy without traffic wizzing by!
Back in my home city briefly for the holidays?...could not wait to visit my old neighborhood and have my favorite coffee and/or matcha made with love and such chosen quality by Maricar (the owner) who sprinkled her magic onto this local popular sunny Noe Valley corner spot.✨Although, I missed her this time, I noticed she offered more carefully curated selections to the menu, plus Happy Hour ?Fri./Sat.:an assortment of simple quality local handcrafted sweet and savory favorites that only a foodie would fall in love-and even a health connoisseur would appreciate.*Maricar has the networking sources and she hooked this place up with only the BEST!?After actually living next door to her at one time,I know first hand her attention to detail and cultivated experience with all things food and drink shows in everything she does...this is no exception.*Fresh, simple quality, laid back, warm fun vibe.*Dog-friendly and parklet patio
They charge music festival prices, but they aren't posted. We were shocked when a beer, served in a plastic cup, was $10. Would not recommend. Many better options in the area.
Update: had to lower to 4 stars. Empanadas and tacos on Thursdays are awesome, and it’s the best coffee shop in the neighborhood, but the coffee quality varies wildly between baristas. Can easily be very good or terrible depending on who’s at the coffee machine at any given moment.
Time and again Noe Cafe impresses me with great service, food and coffee. They're always expanding into new categories and growing as a community hang out spot. Try their empanadas!
