Cafe Francisco

A very welcoming greeting when arrived. Mocha latte was great! A quiet lil spot to sit and take in the morning on Powell St.

Coffee, pastries, sandwiches and salads, all made with care and attention to detail. I had a wonderful slice of banana bread that was delicious with my mocha. Seating outside and inside.

Such a cute cozy little cafe near north beach. Loved their bagels

Still going strong! Cafe Francisco is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, cafe's in the neighborhood. Near a quarter of a century ago when I moved to San Francisco, I started coming to this neighborhood cafe where I met many neighbors who later became friends. Many of them have moved on now, but those of us who are still around still get together here and enjoy each other's company over a beer, coffee or a meal. The coffee is good, as are the sandwiches, but my favorites remain the same: the Mediterranean Plate (under Salads) and Falafel Sandwich. For breakfast, I always go with Francisco Bagel with Lox! Those are my picks and I tend to get into routines and that is precisely why you should not limit yourself to my favorites list when you visit! :-)

A very relaxing place to spend a few minutes; wonderful feel of a cafe in a small Italian village; enjoyed a delicious salad, nice conversation with the manager, and topped it off with an amazing hot chocolate; definitely need to visit again for lunch.

Palestinian owned ???????? the owner was so friendly, he genuinely wanted to chat with everyone. I only stopped in for an iced tea, to charge my phone, and to pee. But the vibes were incredible - it felt like a movie scene. A man reading a newspaper, a couple chatting and sipping their coffee, a tv show playing from the screen, and the owner making all of the foods and drinks behind the bar. Since I was alone he chatted with me for awhile, about Chicago, food, travel, & his home country. Thank you, Ziyad!

We loved this place!!! Originally we wanted to go somewhere else but the line outside was crazy so we found Cafe Fransisco and even next day we went back for another bagel we were here in January 2025. I can recommend this place 100%.
