Fillmore Street Cafe

I just recently relocated to the area, and although there are many spots to choose from I just love this cafe. There are always people sitting in the cafe visiting, watching a soccer or football game, and the workers are so nice. I am always making "special" orders (modifications like no cheese, no dairy. etc) and the staff has always welcomed these requests and exceeded my expectations while making my order with care. It feels like you popped into a friend or family member's house to grab a bite/ coffee. I will be coming here often!

One of the neighborhood gems in the Fillmore district. Great location right if Eddy and Fillmore. Awesome bagals, coffee, sandwiches and anything in between. It's got a homemade, wholesome vibe to this place and not too mention the fantastic service. If you have not tried this place out, it's about time👍🏻🇺🇲🤩🎊🥯!

A great place to stop for bite to eat. The smell emanating from their kitchen in the early morning is like something out of story books. The restaurant is locally owned and ran, and they have an extensive menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It has that old fashioned diner feel, with pieces of hand drawn artwork on the walls. Highly recommend.

Pretty good coffee, very reasonable prices, great place to work, good place to study. Have spent some great moments in this cafe and will always be grateful.
The host is always very welcoming and gracious, and gave me water like 5 times even though I just bought one coffee and stayed for a 2 hours-long meeting. The snacks are not inexpensive, but they taste good.
There is also a beautiful area outside, but it gets extremely chilly in the winters.

However:
-It can get loud, might not for you for studying if you like quiet, library-like environments.
-The restroom is a little smelly.
-There are a bunch of people smoking and gambling post 7:30pm, in case that bothers you.

I lived for a while in NYC so I wasn’t expecting much but these breakfast bagels are absolutely delicious. I got the Indian style breakfast bagel with melted cheese on a poppy seed bagel and will definitely be coming back soon.

A friend of mine and I went to grab sandwiches from here in the morning and they sandwiches were delicious. I've also come here in a group and with another friend just to have a cup of hot chocolate. Each time I've come, the atmosphere has been positive. The cashiers and food preparers are also expedient.

Family owned operation here with the nicest people staffing. Tip: Order an egg bagel sandwich (or on bread); it's made fresh using a pan, not a microwave. That's al but disappeared from restaurant menus. It comes like an omelette, nice and browned. They also have WiFi for free. Just ask for password.

Beyond the nicest people there!! Such kind simple hearted people. Great memory and now they remember what I order just hearing my voice. Delicious Veggie garden burger and excelent side dishes (salad or potato salad or chips). My favorite place to eat when im feeling lazy!

Ahhhhhh man! OK SO .... CHOCOLATE CHAI !!!! ...😲 OMG dude for real... Sooooooo good ... deliciously decadent.

Yes so I loved it totally caught me by surprise and was so much better than I had expected like nothing I've ever tasted b4. honestly I'm not big on coffee or tea let alone chai. But I lucked out on this one and think I've found a new favorite.

ThAnk you for much for a great breakfast and excellent customer service.

The sandwiches are awesome at Fillmore Cafe. These guys really try to accommodate for my picky orders. I usually get the Chicken sandwich, and they give a side, either macaroni, potato, or Cesar Salad. You can also get chips. I eat here about 4 times a week, and it beats subway any day.

You have to remember, these are Eritreans and Ethiopians running what they think is an American cafe.

Get the Faoul Maddamus (sp?). It’s a solid meal for $10 and you can’t find it at most places. They sell the special spongy bread separately. Spend $5 for a package of the stuff and eat the dish the way it was meant to be eaten. Or with the standard American bread it comes with, can’t go wrong either way.

The bbq chicken sandwich was good. No complaints and I recall the taste with fondness.

Fantastic Cafe! Makes you feel right at home no matter where you’re from. Beer or coffee, wine or smoothies, bagels or steaks. Warm and flavorful coffee. Lemon sliced full bodied corona.

Bagel and a coffee solid would come again

Really good bagels sandwiches and the place seems like a great neighborhood spot. I had the lox bagel

One of the few affordable cafes in SF. The hot chocolate chai is a must have, nowhere else makes it as delicious as here. All breakfasts made to order as well.

Had cafe latte from here and loved it. The staff is also friendly.

I got a coffee and a bagel with egg and cheese, and both were pretty good, and the location is great

Great service and the best coffee in the city! Their sandwich is yummy!
