Café Josephine

Wonderful little cafe worth seeking out. Lots of free parking. Acme Bakery breads. Nice wait staff. The grilled cheese with pesto and soup is delicious. Lovely patio seating area with million dollar views of SF and the Bay. The “parrots of Telegraph Hill” were circling the trees during my visit. Cafe is connected to the Randall, a free kid-friendly natural history museum. A must see for families with kids visiting The Bay. The museum and cafe are next to Corona Heights Park if you want to climb the hill for even more expansive views of the City.

Go for the museum, stay for the food and revisit for the food.
Yes! Absolutely mouth watering food and awesome service. Coffee was great. Egg Salad on toast was great, special spring grilled cheese was great, soup was great and chia pudding was great too.
I will be returning for food.

Hidden gem near Corona Heights park. Cute cafe with amazing city views. A variety of drinks and light lunch choices. I tried the egg salad toast and wasn’t disappointed. Definitely worth the visit if you’re in the neighborhood.

Gorgeous views while you sip your tea and coffee and munch on home made Rice Krispie treats! What could be better? Super friendly staff and outdoor patio that’s on the east side so less windy that usual. If the museum is open that’s another free treat as you can see the birds and critters. Such a fun place to grab a snack and drink.

We enjoyed the vegan toast, a veggie sandwich, banana bread, and oat milk lattes. Everything was delicious and made with such care. The views and gardens are beautiful. Such a great little place to grab some lunch with our kids before heading to the museum.

My nonprofit held an event at the Randall Museum and catered through Cafe Josephine and Sahara. The experience was fantastic. Sahara absolutely knows how to cater an event such as this which gave us great comfort as we were planning. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. I have eaten lunch at Cafe Josephine since and have always had a delicious meal and very pleasant experience!

Incredible food and coffee in a beautiful setting! We were lucky enough to have a gorgeous red-shouldered hawk perch right near our table as we ate. It's so fun to peek inside the Randall Museum from the shop and see all the wildlife! Can't wait to come back :)

Amazing little cafe within the museum. No real seats inside except for a bench, but many tables outside with shade umbrellas and spectacular views of the city. Serves Andytown coffee. Staff are very nice and clearly care about serving good toasts, sandwiches, along with bread, prepared salads, and small snacks.

Cute place to grab a bite at the Randall. Sandwiches are fresh and delicious. Extensive coffee menu. Outdoor seating has a beautiful view of the city. Friendly service. We'll be back!

This is the best tuna melt in SF.

Yet another S.F. gem. Go for the views, stay for the food, go for the food, stay for the views.

A true hidden gem. Delicious sandwiches and soup. Serving Andytown coffee. Great outdoor seating with a view of San Francisco.

Heckin love this place. The tuna melt sandwiches are bomb and the seating area is tranquil.

Perfect complement to the Randal museum. I always love a soup, salad, sandwich and coffee to enjoy outside. Staff always friendly, wait always reasonable. Simple quick menu.

Lovely find in the middle of a nice park. The cafe itself is tiny with outdoor seating.

I am so so happy they survived the pandemic! A little hidden spot where you can enjoy salad and coffee while enjoying the view of the city 🙂

Cute little cafe inside of the Randall Museum. Tasty treats and great view of the city.

The staff is very friendly and the outdoor setting is beautiful :)

Underrated, hidden gem in SF
