Perfect turkey panini, crunchy on outside and moist & fresh with a lot of filling on the inside. Generous portion

Grabbed a burrito here on a stop over in the city while traveling home. You can see the care in service and commitment to community this place has honed in on. The burrito was perfection - and I am a New Mexican, not easily impressed!

Stopped by for a breakfast burrito and wow wow it was delicious. Packed full of ingredients and their chipotle sauce is delicious. Highly recommend this place.

Traveled from Fontana California. The burrito was very delicious. The service was also extraordinary.

Absolutely amazing breakfast burrito! I had the meatlover avocado, and the taste was really great, dense and filled up but easy to eat without spilling everywhere. Hot sauce is just the cherry on top. I will miss this place when I'm not in SF.

Ordered DoorDash from Canto Cafe and got two burritos — one veggie and one meat — and both were excellent. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the meat burrito was generously loaded with sausage, bacon, and ham. If you’re looking for a high-protein option, that one definitely delivers. That said, I personally preferred the veggie burrito — the flavors really stood out. Absolutely worth it. 10/10.

Got the Best Friend Burrito and it was delicious. The carnitas was a different flavor than your normal BB. Very cute little shop - and the service was great.

Ordered delivery while staying nearby, got the chipotle breakfast burrito with bacon, avocado and hash browns inside. Service was SO fast, and this was the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever ordered from a restaurant. So much flavor, but not salty or greasy at all. Just perfection!!

Everything was great from customer service to the actual sandwich. It was fresh, filling and affordable. I'm happy we stumbled upon this gem during my visit. I'll definitely return to try another sandwich tomorrow. They also move quickly. I waited maybe less than 10 minutes and it was worth every second

Perfect breakfast burrito. The chipotle sauce is excellent. Takeaway only but the Embarcadero Center is just a block away with plenty of public seating. Very busy, I waited about 10 mins. Consider ordering for pickup.

Gut-busting Chipotle Meat Lover’s breakfast burrito. Good value and taste. I should NOT have tried to eat the whole thing. Now suffering from food coma. The crispy bacon adds a nice textural crunch. It was my breakfast, my lunch and my dinner. Friendly, warm service even for pickup. Way better, heavier and much better value than the trendy breakfast burrito place off Union Street in Cow Hollow. Look at all of that ham and sausage in there!

Run, don’t walk, to try this amazing breakfast place. Hole in the wall in middle of SF business district. One of the best breakfast burritos I’ve ever had. Huge line. Order online and pick up in 10-15min. Wild owner who screams the orders out and manages this crazy operation to perfection. Very limited outdoor seating. Most people take to go. Just amazing breakfast burrito - recommend sausage potatoes and avocado. Their special sauce is delicious. Simple awesome.

It's a walk-up, take-out spot with amazing sandwiches and breakfast burritos. The pesto and chipotle sauces are a delicious touch to any of the hot items. The fresh orange juice was refreshing and not too sweet. I ordered several times while staying nearby and will visit again when I'm in the area.

Friendly service! I got the chipotle burrito with potato and bacon and it is really good. Tables outside, walk up restaurant. Really glad I went here for breakfast.

5/5 for the breakfast sandwich. For the price its a no brainer, the coffee was really good as well, not that strong but gives you enough energy.

For what it is, which is a grab n go breakfast cafe, this place is exceptional. I genuinely cannot think of a breakfast burrito (their specialty) that I've enjoyed more thoroughly in recent memory. It was crispy on the outside, and filling and delicious, somehow without feeling heavy. The bacon was crispy as well, and the avocado was perfectly fresh. I will absolutely go out of my way to eat here again, and I'm telling anyone looking for recommendations to do the same. Delicious.

Best breakfast burritos in town. They have a very yummy sauce in the burritos that make them taste like no others. Portions are big and filling. There is always a line but they are super quick at getting the orders out. I recommend the Meatlover with avacado. It’s amazing.

It's kinda wild to me how many places without seating there are in SF. Thats really the only negative thing I can say tho. I got myself an incredibly delicious breakfast burrito. It was fast, affordable, and absolutely delicious. The fresh squeezed OJ is def fresh. I had 2. Next time im in the area ill be coming back for more.

Super popular local spot for breakfast burritos. The food is good and they have plenty of customization options, as well as other non-burrito options. There are usually people waiting for their order, so if you want to order, line up near the "register", so the guy knows you want to order and is not just waiting. Recommend their Bacon Avocado, yummy!

I had the breakfast burrito with chicken and red onions, and it was really tasty — and absolutely huge! The portion size is massive, definitely great value for the price. The flavor was good overall, though I would have wished for a bit more red onion since it’s listed as a main ingredient. Still, a very solid and satisfying burrito.

Wow what a great spot. My brother just got me this one day. Maybe the burrito was better because it was a gift but also I think it was just solid. It does something unique with a breakfast burrito. The flavors are super present and the inside is moist. Really solid breakfast burrito. I got the meat lover because I am a huge meat lover. It had great mixture of the egg and the meat. Usually I feel like breakfast burritos are more on the dry side. Probably because of the eggs or potatoes but this breakfast burrito was moist and flavorful. Super impressed by this place. I have no clue how the service or atmosphere is because I got it delivered. I can only imagine how much better it is if I got it fresh. I would rate the burrito high eights, maybe like 8.7 for a breakfast burrito. One of my favorite breakfast burritos I have had. So 4.35 and I have no clue how the service atmosphere is again. Overall, solid breakfast burritos.

Alright, to start out - the food was delicious. I got a sausage, egg, cheese croissant and an iced mocha coffee. They were both great. However, the service here was horrible. I placed the order online and got there to a crowd of people waiting outside for their orders. That would be fine if they didn’t proceed to serve walk-up customers over and over before my until about 40 minutes later I asked them if they had my order. The food had just been sitting there behind the counter ready to go except the coffee…….so, the food was barely room temp still. Also, I ordered 2 slices of banana bread and they gave me 1 piece and it was the heel of the loaf. Bleh. Overall, food and coffee was great, but the experience and service was absolutely not.

One of the worst breakfast burritos I’ve had in my life. I got the avo, potato, beans one and it had 0 flavor. I couldn’t even finish the burrito entirely. I would recommend getting the other flavors instead if you visit.
