Great local spot for an easy breakfast or lunch. Non alcoholic beverage options only, crafted specialty mocktails and serving up good coffee with quick service too. Vibrant vibes with cool music with indoor and outdoor seating including a parklet. The warm sunny day made for a perfect outing along Ocean Beach, a stone's throw from Lands End and The Sutro Baths.

After a 6 mile walk with lots of stairs we were famished and did not want to drive too far to eat. Yelp led us to this charming cafe. It's unassuming yet has great food & nice outdoor seating (parklet with a sweet succulent garden). The prices are quite reasonable for what you get. The iced Matcha was delicious- nice and creamy. The hummus plate was so yummy. I wanted to buy some hummus to go, but they don't sell it individually- I think they should consider doing so. The staff were all very, very friendly.

Amazing spot, so close to the beach and there's ample parking. I highly recommend this place. The servers are awesome and kind! The food is warm and delicious. I recommend the breakfast sando! There's outdoor seating available as well as indoor and they're fully accessible as well as the bathroom in the back. The vibe is unmatched -nice music, decorated with some surf stuff and succulents.

What a fantastic addition to San Francisco. A completely alcohol free establishment is much needed. Sober living is becoming more and more popular and it's nice to see businesses who can fit into this mold and thrive. The food was basic but very good and there is a plethora of options for drinks.

Great little place to come for bites and coffee. I parked by the beach and walked over just a block away. Enjoyed their Epic breakfast sandwich could have been halved for two. Good coffee and local vibe. Good internet with options for beer and wine later.

This place is so adorable and has so much to offer on their menu. We got the breakfast sandwich and the bread pudding. The breakfast sandwich comes on a bagel and has a huge slab of egg with cheese, as well as meat patty (we got a veggie one and it was great). It was so delicious and we really loved it. The bread pudding was also excellent. The only thing I would say about the bread pudding was that we paid $8-$10 for it, and they didn't really give you a whole lot that made it worth $8-$10, and you can tell they tried to cover up the small size by putting a bunch of whipped cream everywhere in the box. I suspected they did this because they were running out of it, but I'd rather they be honest about how much you're getting instead of trying to cover it up, hence my 4 stars.

We need more spots like this! Amazing non-alc bar/cafe with outdoor dog friendly seating. Combo of non alc cocktails, hemptails, and so many options! We got a couple of drinks and baked good but can't wait to return to try more.

This place is so cute and the servers are so animated and welcoming. It's always crazy busy for a reason. The food is great, if a little pricy but the non alcoholic cocktails and spirit replacements they serve are so interesting. I highly recommend the egg sandwich and the bread pudding.
