Sammy's Cafe

They closed for 6 months and they came back even stronger! I was amazed by the service and quality of food. I ordered the pastrami sandwich my friend ordered a veggie bagel with very berry smoothie and her mom ordered an egg and cheese bagel. We felt the San Franciscan vibe and reminded us of European cities. If you are looking for a vibe like that, and a place to enjoy sandwiches 🥪 , salads 🥗 , bagels 🥯 and more check it out :)

The lady working here has the best aura. You need to go here for the sole purpose of checking out at the register.

Great staff, service, food and beverages! Warm, welcoming and cozy!

The food was great and the staff is very polite. Thanks

I’d give a 4.5 cause of price. But honestly 20 dollars for a meal, coffee, and brownie isn’t horrible. Otherwise they have just about every food you could think of and it’s made fairly quick. Really good burritos, great brownies, and decent coffee. For sure worth checking out

This place was delicious, came here with friends on a trip where we specifically wanted to try different restaurants and we still wound up coming back here for a second round. I had a lox bagel the first time and a breakfast burrito the second time. Both were delicious and the burrito was wrapped in a way that you'd get a taste of everything in each bite. This would hands down be the breakfast and coffee recommendation of the trip.

Breakfast burrito soo good!!! Thank you for being awesome.

amazing service, the staff checked our food and the baklava was amazing, prices not bad for SF too

Love this place. Had a really niche mocha here. Not too sweet, not too chocolatey. Also, it was a good place to sit down and do some work.

Super friendly service. Excellent breakfast sandwich and burrito. Cozy atmosphere. Definitely worth going to.

Great people here! They’re so accommodating with special requests and so nice. Food is yummy too.

Love Sammy’s Cafe! Great vibes, amazing coffee, and the friendliest service. My go to spot in San Francisco.

The staff was very warm and welcoming. I enjoyed my tuna melt. Will be back to support this local business.

Great place for a quick stop or to sit and enjoy your food. The service was exceptional. My kid always takes a little longer to order, I didn't feel like he was rushed by the cashier, which is always nice. The Turkish Delight we tried was yummy 😋. Mind you, it was our first time trying these.

"I recently visited Sammy's Cafe in San Francisco with my two kids, and I must say, we had an amazing experience! The sandwiches were the best I've ever eaten, and the coffee was so fresh. The place was cozy and clean, and even my kids enjoyed the variety of small groceries available. What amazed me the most was the freshness and cleanliness of the store. I'll definitely be coming back as a regular customer. First time I do a review like this because I love the place and the employees so much." Now the open 6 days a week, so I will go there for my lunch and breakfast.Most of the time. I was always looking for places to have some peace when I eat, This one meets my desire. Thanks

As a local here in San Francisco, I truly believe it’s the small businesses that give this city its soul—and Sammy’s Café is no exception. This hidden gem captures everything that makes San Francisco special. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly, and the quality of both the food and service is top-notch. My partner, our little beagle, and I stopped by for a quick bite and coffee, but the warm, inviting vibe made us want to slow down and stay a while. The cozy, homelike atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy the moment. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape from the city’s hustle and bustle, I highly recommend a visit to Sammy’s Café. Whether you’re grabbing a drink or savoring a quiet meal, it’s the perfect place to pause, recharge, and enjoy your own thoughts.

Best service in a cafe that I have ever had: friendly and attentive. Great coffee. Loved the pistachio milk cake. A few minutes' wait for the quality is totally worth it.

Ate at Sammy's for the first time in a few years and the sandwiches extra delicious now (also toasted). Their new dutch crunch bread is amazing, light crispy and fluffy compared to what I often see elsewhere which is more chewy and tough. They do a great job balancing all the sandwich ingredients to work in harmony for a great bite.

Best turkey avocado 🥑sandwich 🥪! I had mine made on sourdough bread 🍞 and it was AMAZING! If your looking for a good sandwich, I highly recommend you to try Sammy's!!!!! 10/10. The bread, produce, cheese and sauce was the best combination 😋 The staff was great, very helpful and welcoming. Nice and clean café! They also sell handmade fresh BAKLAVA. TRY THAT TO, OH MY GOSH, it was heaven. STOP READING MY REVIEW AND GET TO SAMMY'S, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. THANK ME LATER 😋

I came in with my daughter for breakfast. They have the best bagels and sandwiches. My daughter got her self a sausage burrito. She said it’s the best burrito she’s ever had. They use very fresh ingredients and it is a very cute cafe. The inside is very clean and organized. I ordered an egg bagel and it was so delicious and toasted. The interior is very fascinating and incredible.

Delicious freshly made sandwiches! Good smoothies and coffee. They have all sort of yummy sauces! Very kind & good service :)

Good food, friendly staff, and beautiful design. I loved the pairings on the wall :)

I went here for breakfast everyday while I was in SF. The breakfast sandwiches are so good!! I am grateful for the staff working out how to redeem my united food vouchers too.

This place was really cute on the inside and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. The service was perfect since they delivered the food to my table, and also accommodated to my questions and needs.

A nice surprise find. The ham breakfast burrito reminded me of the one's I make at home. It was delicious and filling. My son loved his Eggs, ham and cheese bagel sandwich. The Vanilla Latte was just as I love. Very happy with my late breakfast.

The breakfast was very tasty. The Arabic coffee was strong as it needs to be. We loved the cozy atmosphere. The owner explained about the pictures from each SF district.

Amazing amazing chicken pesto sandwich. Chicken wasn’t dry at all, pesto was yummy. Staff were so friendly love this place!!

Sandwich shop with coffee and snacks. Great people, delicious food and coffee. Not really a sit down spot, but they have a couple of nooks to sit at to eat or while you wait. Lokum / Turkish Delight is outstanding.

I love the food here considering I just recently moved to the city. I’ve been trying to look for a good cafe/deli and so far Sammys cafe has had the best sandwiches I’ve tried. You might have to be a little patient because they don’t have a lot of workers and it can be quite busy at times, however the wait is worth it!!

This was my first time visiting Sammy’s, and he’s truly someone who makes you start your day with a smile! I asked him to customize my hash brown burrito with avocado, and he actually came outside to show me if the amount was enough or if I wanted more. He even asked me to taste my coffee to see if I’d like an extra shot added. Such thoughtfulness and care are rare these days—shops like this are a real gem!

We came here several times in the morning for coffee, and my girlfriend also had breakfast here. I had a mocha, which was really delicious, and the bagel we ordered was freshly prepared – you could definitely taste the difference. The staff was super friendly, and there are also some nice seating options inside.

If you are in an absolute hurry, this may not be the place. But if you have 20-30 min to order and eat, this is one of the best. A colleague and myself both at the chicken bacon sandwich. It was absolutely perfect. One of the best deli sandwiches I have had in a while. We had it on sour dough bread and used the hot red pepper sauce on every bite. What a great find.

Eggselent ham, cheese, and egg croissant breakfast sandwich. We had a little mishap (our fault) and the staff immediately took care of us. I'd take a picture but I ate it too fast!

Sammy’s Café is such a nice and chill breakfast spot. The food is always fresh, and their sandwiches are really good. They also have yummy desserts and smoothies that I love. The inside looks super clean and cozy, and the people who work there are really nice. It’s the perfect place to grab breakfast or just hang out with friends.

The bagels were BOMB . Coffee not so much but its worth trying out.

Great sandwiches. I got the chicken salad on a croissant and my family got the veggie bagel and a ham egg and cheese on a croissant. All were great. Atmosphere, drink selection, and restrooms are all nice. Public water pitcher is a plus also.

Great spot for a quick bite to eat. The coffee is Australian Approved (I’m the Australian). Will say it is a bit expensive for an Australian though - $20 USD for a bagel and coffee (~$36 AUD). I love the decor in this place.

This place is okay. It's affordable in comparison to the other places in the area and that's appreciated. The breakfast sandwiches can be skipped but the lunch sandwiches are delicious and worth a try.

I’ve been here twice. The food is really good but it takes WAY too long to come out. Both times it took almost 20 minutes just to get a bagel with cream cheese. Definitely order ahead if you are in a hurry.

The first two times I went to the "new" Sammy's Cafe I had a bad experience. Unpleasant greeting, if I even get a greeting, and curt responses. There wasn't a line everytime I arrived and food took extremely long with two people working in the kitchen. Today took the cake. I called ahead to prevent the excessive wait time. Once arrive my order was wrong. I had to wait an additional twenty minutes for two sandwiches. Once home one of the sandwiches was wrong that I paid for, bacon instead of sausage, no tomato that I paid for the other had burnt bread. After three times I'm not coming back. Food was subpar, service was unpleasant, and speed is extremely slow for what you pay for.
