Little corner store Café offering bagels, paninis, smoothies, salads and hot (coffee, hot chocolate etc.) and cold beverages (iced coffee, iced tea and sodas). I had the breakfast wrap, it was very good. My mom had a plain bagel with butter and jelly and a Latté. She liked all of it. Overall it was a very good place to grab a quick breakfast but definitely not a bargain place. One wrap, one plain jelly bagel, can of diet Coke and a large Latté was $19. I guess $10 per person is the going rate for breakfast these days. I wish they would've kept the front door closed, it was a little chilly in there.

Was craving paninis and salad and found this small cafe. It is located on the corner of taraval and 24th ave. I called in a house salad, turkey club and parkside. Their menu isn't huge, but they cover the important items. The food was ready fairly quickly. The paninis were fresh and hot. I loved the house salad. It was well mixed and tasted really fresh. It was a great place for lunch. Since visiting, I've come back a few times and there's always a handful of people hanging out here. The food is really good and I love how their salad is so fresh and has such a variety of items in it. They also serve breakfast items which seem just as good.

We ordered the Turkey Club sandwich, the Yummy Salami, iced caramel latte and a house coffee. Total was about $30 for two people. Between the two sandwiches, the yummy salami was our favorite because of its unique spicy jalapeño mayo. Photos are unavailable because we chowed it down pretty fast. There was only two pleasant staff members working, but we only waited maybe 10 minutes or so for our items. There are 14 seats inside and some seats outside as well. We didn't have an issue with getting seats. Wifi was also available.

This is a nice cafe with very reasonable prices, especially with iced coffee which is my go-to. They have some syrups and optional self-serve sweeteners. They have a small selection of sweets, bakery, and bread items. I'm a sweet tooth and I found the amount of syrup that you get didn't do it for me. The coffee was great, however, and on our trip we visited a few times. No seating in doors as of now but there were a few spots outside. The restaurant is clean and the lady that served us was nice.

I've been driving by this place wondering if "El Cafe" meant Mexican food. Sort of. I had a curried chickpea wrap, which was very tasty. Also, tea came in an attractive ceramic mug, which was a good hand warmer. I rated the atmosphere a 5 even though it was quite chilly because I get that we want lots of air (covid). It was a cold, rainy day.

Nice cafe and nice ladies working there. Unfortunately, their espresso drinks are El Crapo- sour and acidic. Perhaps the Nomads shouldn't be growing coffee after all, at least not roast espresso. Also it'd be actually nice to have your expensive coffee drink in an actual porcelain cup when dining in- not in a to-go paper cup with a plastic lid... But I guess it doesn't matter at the end, seeing how the cup won't improve the taste of bad coffee.

I always feel so welcome in this cafe! Everyone on staff always greets me the moment I walk up to the counter. The drinks are awesome, I usually go for an almond cortado and the male barista (why haven't I asked for his name yet?!) makes it to perfection every time; perfect amount, perfect temperature, perfect foam with a heart in it, and with a smile. This is definitely my go to coffee shop in the Parkside!

Who wants to pay $7 for a cup of hot milk? I don't know what is going on with the coffee shops here in SF but only 1 shot in a 16oz drink or 2 in a 20oz and then $1.25 for 1 extra shot is absolutely asinine and this is a common occurrence at almost every other shop. You are literally gutting people for money by not giving people the coffee they should get and also gouging the price charging 350% of cost.

Exceptional turkey club. My son declared it "the best sandwich he's ever had in his life." Avocado toast was also good on very tasty rustic bread. Reasonable prices and relaxed atmosphere. Small, but we were able to find a table inside.

It is currently open for indoor dining so you can definitely come here to chat indoors, do some work on your laptop and just relax. I got the latte which is why I gave a four star, the latte was a little burnt after-tasting which definitely didn’t feel good. The breakfast burrito was super delicious, tasting super fresh and healthy but still being very flavorful.

We have never ordered food from this location, but this cafe is open bright and early in the morning. To get our daily caffinee or should I say sugar fix, the products are very great and original. It is everything you would expect from a local cafe, and a great place to study. The staff are very friendly, and it was a overall very enjoyable experience.

Nice cafe in Parkside right around the corner of McCoppin Square. Service was friendly and prices are reasonable. There are a few small tables outside and across the street is a park with benches. I had a Parkside Panini and it was pretty delicious, bread was pressed warm and crunchy, and the red pepper mayo gave the taste a great highlight.

This place is a gem in the neighborhood. Their coffee is brewed to perfection. My friend, that likes espresso, said that their espresso is very good also. I like that they have ceramic mugs for "for here" drinks; less use of disposables. They have a wide variety of baked goods also. The proprietors are very friendly and courteous.

Cute little neighborhood spot for quick breakfast bites. My wife got a gingerbread latte with oat milk and I got iced coffee. Both were good. We also got the peanut butter, banana toast.

Excellent service, clean place, nice location! I've been looking for a place to eat a bagel with salmon for a while, I didn't get to this place by chance, I appreciate who gave me this recommendation, I've been in the coffee business for a while. I loved the place a 14 minute drive from my house. Thank you so much

Great food and kind, personal service! Has a local feel. The only negative was they left the door open early in the morning so the place was freezing!!!!

This is our go to for coffee in the Central Parkside. The panini and breakfast sandwiches are big enough to share and the coffee is solid. They are lovely folks behind the counter, just be patient waiting for your order. If you sit at a table outside, they will bring your food to you.

Very small, cozy neighborhood coffee shop. Most of the seats inside were taken, but there are a few small tables outside, with view to the park. The prices really make this place worth it.

Love this place! It has been my go-to for over a year now. Their bagel sandwiches are great and their coffee is excellent. The employees are also super nice and have great service. I highly recommend El Café!

The new owners are kind and friendly people. As you can see from the pics, the pastries and drinks are delicious and the ambiance is laid back. Great neighborhood spot to connect with friends or for a date.

Breakfast panini is my favorite. All of the baked goods are excellent.

Fun spot in the Sunset for coffee, smoothies and sandwiches. We sat outside but the inside seating looked cozy. The staff was very friendly and helpful with food suggestions.

Delicious and very affordable breakfast place, lots of options for all taste pallets, including vegetarian. Outdoors tables are a plus! Good coffee and yummy smoothies too.

A cozy cafe in the corner of Taraval and 24th. It's worth trying the Mexican mocha

Coffee was delightful. Try the Mexican hot coffee. Warm and delighting. Pair this with a bagel sandwich it will not disappoint.

On Taraval @ 24th ElCafe is a small friendly spot to get a good cup of coffee and light nibbles. . . Nothing fancy, just right.

The staff is so nice. It's a tranquil spot to have a relaxing cup of tea. There is wifi and plugs. I'll definitely come back.

I do like the coffee, but not the service. They didn't trust me what I ordered so the woman asked the guy to verify it

Great little local cafe. There's seating and food available, and the library is a half block away. Friendly people

My go to spot for breakfast on the go! They have really good bagels and smoothies and everything is organic

Friendliest people here. And it’s right next to a really nice sloping park to drink your coffee on
