Crostini & Java San Francisco Reviews
One of the most cutest little brunch spots on Bush St & Hyde St in San Francisco. Cozy and small but with a big heart that welcomes all. This spot serves brunch sandwiches and all sorts of coffees/lattes with a delicious pastry section. Love it! whenever I’m near this area in SF, I make it my go-to for my morning coffee!
Absolutely loved going here for breakfast while I visited SF! Every single thing I tried was delicious from the food to the coffee. The staff is incredibly nice and welcoming. Couldn’t recommend Crostini & Java enough!
I love this place! I have been going here 5 years now and I’m a loyal customer. I really appreciate the hospitality that Soraida and Magally provide me, they’re the best. I highly recommend all the food & drinks here - there’s so much to choose from!
My favorite cafe in San Francisco! I bring all my friends here when they visit the city. Great options for coffee and amazing prices for their sandwiches. Not a big place but has developed a large and loyal customer base. The employees are fantastic! They make your coffee immediately and will bring food to you once it’s ready.
Crostini and Java is one of those rare places that serves breakfast and lunch all day and gets everything right! Great food, excellent coffee, and a fantastic staff, including Demi, one of the hosts who always greets me with a smile and makes my day. I’ll definitely keep coming back. Be sure to tell them ZOOLOOK sent you!
Excellent coffee. The cappuccino in house was just the right temperature. Loved the mozz pesto sandwich as well, perfectly crunchy ciabatta and plenty of arugula.
Very good lavender latte. The lavender can smell and taste. This just makes a coffee to another level. The bagel is really good. The works bagel had perfect combination of flavors. The bacon in particular cooks perfectly. Crunchy, and not oily. The seating are little congested, but overall very good cafe. Staff is really funny and friendly. Best services cafe in SF. They also had toilet and provide water too. Love this Cafe so much while visiting in SF. Will certainly come back when I had chance next time. This cafe is at the corner. Parking available nearby. Also had public transport too.
Went here on a Sunday morning to try their pumpkin spice latte and ultimate breakfast sandwich with ham. Found out PSLs aren’t for me but the sandwich was totally worth it. The first few bites when it was hot and drippy were immaculate, and as it cooled down the taste from the croissant came out more and more. And to top it off, while it looks small, the sandwich completely filled me up! Highly recommend you take your time with your meal here and enjoy some people watching or chit chat.
Had the pleasure to visit this lovely cafe while on a business trip. The French Sandwich was so delicious and the service was above and beyond. I accidentally knocked over my coffee and the waiter insisted on him cleaning it up, despite my own attempts to fix the mess. They even gave me a free refill, which I definitely did not expect! The staff care about their food and service and it shows in every aspect of this lovely cafe.
Perfect delightful and cozy We came here two consecutive days as staying nearby The California crunch is a must have . We had it at both occasions with chicken and just the plain one At both times - it was mouthwatering we also ordered the Avocado egg toast and it was well seasoned and very tasty I ordered a turmeric latte and it was perfectly balanced spices and great ! And then the lavender latte. The first few sips were a little bitter but then it became like a smooth delight we could wait to have more
Quaint and delicious with great service. Came here for two reasons: to continue my breakfast bagel tour de SF and to wait for the post office to open. Pleasantly surprised and totally understand the great reviews. Visiting UCSF or just visiting SF- this spot is worth a stop. I had the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel and man it was 🔥🔥🔥. Better than the one I get Saturday mornings at the farmers market which is hard to beat. The soy latte came fast and was scrumptious. Would recommend!
Very tiny cafe in Nob hill. They specialize in the croissant sandwiches which I love to get every now and then. The matcha isn't the best, but the vanilla lattes are good. I love the workers here and the ambience is always nice for such a small place. There's also outdoor seating so perfect when the weather is nice
This place is perfect. Amazing breakfast sandwiches and coffee tastes great. Right in the thick of action but far enough away to take a rest. I walked here through the tenderloin and saw crack being smoked. No one was unfriendly. Service was great, lots of happy customers. If you eat outside on the hill, it feels very European. I will come here every time I visit.
😻😻😻Cozy cafe with great options** Crostini & Java is located in the lively Financial District, a great spot for a coffee break or quick bite. The food is reasonably priced for the area, with fresh crostinis and tasty coffee. I especially loved that they offer matcha with no sugar and oat milk as an option – perfect for those who prefer dairy alternatives. It’s easy to get here with plenty of bus and BART options nearby. The cafe itself has a cozy and casual environment, with indoor seating that’s perfect for grabbing lunch or working on the go. During warm days with chairs out side Service was friendly and quick, which is a big plus if you’re on a tight schedule. Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area! Most have avacado toast A match + avacado toast add tip $13.5
7 August 2024 While going for a walk around the city on our first day visiting San Francisco, my father and I came across this little shop and decided to stop for a coffee and a sandwich. The two ladies at the counter greeted us with a smile and were always very friendly, contributing to making our experience there pleasant. The food was also fantastic: we shared two sandwiches, a roast beef sandwich and a “California crunch” sandwich with salmon, both of which were delicious and we absolutely recommend! The coffee was also great, and could not get any better. Overall, we would definitely return to Crostini & Java in San Francisco for another quick bite, and we recommend that you also pay a visit for excellent food and service!
I experienced extremely rude service from one of the baristas. Decided that it was not the day to deal with poor service. Walked over to another cafe and had an excellent experience with great coffee and service. See how easy it is to treat people right?
