7.8
A compact Tenderloin cafe pouring careful espresso with a short, dialed-in breakfast menu—think toasts and eggy sandwiches. Friendly counter service and efficient mornings make it a neighborhood standby since 2016.

Breakfast Sandwich, Avocado Toast, Ricotta Honey Toast

When to visit: 7–9am for quick in-and-out

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; meters start early and spots are limited, especially after 8am.
Dress code: Casual—come as you are, work attire or weekend wear both fine.
Noise level: Low to moderate—easy to hear yourself during morning hours, slightly louder at peak rush.

Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—avocado toast, pastries, and egg dishes can be made vegetarian.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—it’s more a grab-and-go or solo breakfast spot than a lingering date setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—reservations aren’t taken; just walk in and grab a counter seat.
Is it kid-friendly? Better suited for adults—space is tight and seating limited; not much for kids to do.
Best For
Better for: Quick espresso and a simple, satisfying breakfast without the brunch crowd.
Skip if: You’re seeking a full-service brunch with large portions, kid-friendly menus, or lots of seating.
