The Art Bistro

A nice little hole in the wall place. Friendly staff, the bagels and croissant sandwiches are HUGE. Definitely would recommend. One thing they do is have food for those in need outside the shop to feed children, that was heart warming to see. Good food and good intentions.

It's a cozy mom & daughter cafe - It's CASH only, so be prepared. No parking lot, but there's usually street parking nearby. Seating is limited to a few cafe tables and a sofa area. They have a decent selection of sandwiches. Although there was a slight language barrier, my order came out just as I requested. The focaccia bread was perfectly toasted and they also have a great selection of teas.

Super friendly service!! Nice environment but a little small!!! Delicious food!!! It takes a while to get the croissants but it is definitely worth the wait!!!

Love this place. ❤ Prices are very good for the large and quality sandwich i get. Always get a croissant sandwich and make sure to ask for the honey-mustard-mayo, too! I usually get the turkey with cheese and this time added avacado. Worth the extra dollar! Milk and a sandwich for under $8!

This hidden gem was worth the drive up from Sunnyvale! The owner and staff were kind! Food is bomb, and Thai tea was great! Before leaving I heard the staff in the back give out a huge "thank you," to my husband and I for making the drive up to try them out. Will definitely be coming back again! Khob Khun ma ka💕

A real hidden gem! The woman running the place is so warm and welcoming that makes you feel right at home. They offer a variety of hearty small bites with generous portions at great prices. We tried the lemon loaf cake, Thai iced tea, and croissant sandwich and enjoyed all of them - you honestly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

The bagels and croissants are absolutely delicious, and the iced Thai tea is fantastic! The staff are super friendly, and best of all, the prices are unbeatable—easily the best deal in SF!

Must go. I just had the best bagel sandwich of my life for $5 in 2025. Happy people, delicious food. What more could you want?

Literal hole in the wall. Amazing food, amazing drinks, AND it's all super cheap. It doesn't really have seating or a ton of space, hence the hole in the wall joke, but it's a full 9/10. Went there a couple years ago and literally could not forget it. My friends also agreed that it was amazing and most importantly, SUPER FLIPPING CHEAP. I would go here every day if I didn't live an hour from the city. Editing to recommend my onion, bacon, egg, and cheese bagel. Mango boba tea. Hot cider. Their regular bagel and cream cheese is also really good, not too much or too little cream cheese. I also pictured my friend's food, since I ate mine too fast.

lovely little corner cafe with the best breakfast croissants and chai lattes! the service was wonderful and super inexpensive for such a quality experience. $6 bacon, egg, and cheese croissant with a $3 medium chai latte — can’t beat that! was only in san fran for a 4 day trip, and visited twice. if you live here, how lucky are you to have this gem 🍀

I stumbled upon this place and found a hidden treasure in the Richmond district! This cafe may be tiny, but the food is SO YUMMY! It is highly affordable, and the food is so inexpensive I felt guilty for paying so little! The people here are very kind and welcoming. If you’re ever around Lands End, definitely visit the Art Bistro!

Best breakfast I've had in San Francisco! The bagels were delicious, and the service brilliant. Would recommend!

Really enjoyed the breakfast sandwich that I got from here, and for a pretty reasonable prices as well. I didn’t love the hot sauce.

By far the best place to eat in San Francisco. Fantastic value for money and lovely staff. Food simply amazing (I'm Italian and have really high standards on food) I recommend the Bagels with melted cheese. Coffees top notch too

I’ve been coming here since middle school back in 2008, art is the best person. She has the best personality and hospitality. Her food and coffee is amazing. Would highly recommend coming here and support this local business. Also, can anyone tell me how she makes her egg for her egg cheese bagels?!?? I need to know the secret, they come out perfect every time!!!! 😭😭😭

Tiny, cozy cafe in the Outer Richmond (31st Ave x Clement). Great values eg house coffee for $2, big and yummy 😋 daily special sandwiches for $4.95. Very nice people, too 😊

My mom and I came here when visiting the Legion of Honor, and it's a cozy quiet shop near a beautiful view of the Golden Gate Bridge. We got a bagel and a daily special - it was only $10 and it was so good! The woman serving was so nice and the service was great. Would recommend if you are looking for a straightforward lunch and coffee spot!

Delicious coffee, large and hearty breakfast sandwiches, nice owner. Probably the cheapest cafe around, except everything is fantastic. No seating. Worth going out of your way for.

Came to SF to visit a friend and we ate here 5 times it was so good. Friendly people and amazing food. Thank you so much!!!

A hidden gem! Recently visited this little cafe with a local regular. The breakfast sandwiches and coffee are phenomenal! The owner is just the sweetest! She greeted everyone with the warmest smile and acknowledged regular customers by name. Even more impressive, she remembers their orders! They have truly mastered the art of amazing customer service!

Happened upon this space while on a puzzle hunt-walkabout thing. The breakfast sandwiches are killer, they have SO MANY kinds of Haribo gummy candy, and the folks are sweet as can be. There was not much room to sit as they were doing a little renovation work when we were there, but I’ll say it again, awesome breakfast sandwich!
