The Law Café San Francisco Reviews
This café is an absolute find! Not only are the salads and sandwiches delicious, but they have the best pesto I’ve ever tasted—fresh, flavorful, and a game-changer on every bite. Whether you’re into turkey, chicken, or vegetarian options, the pesto brings everything to life. What really makes this place stand out is how affordable it is! You get gourmet-quality sandwiches at prices that don’t break the bank. The portions are generous too, so it’s great value for money. The café is also super conveniently located, making it perfect for a quick bite or lunch break. And with a cozy vibe and friendly staff, it’s a place you'll want to keep coming back to. Definitely a hidden gem—highly recommend!

The Law Cafe's staff are super friendly and welcoming. Their food is incredibly delicious and their prices are unbeatable. I'd be willing to travel across the state just to have their famous chocolate chip cookies again. Hastings is lucky to have them!
Wonderful establishment nestled away in the University of California Hastings. They offer a great arrangement of warm and cold food, snacks, sweets and more! The staff is super friendly and the place is always clean and really affordable! I highly recommend.
Inexpensive, fast and friendly. This place offers a great variety of breakfast to lunch options! It's open to the public so don't be scared to go inside the law school!
A great place with a variety of food and drinks at reasonable prices. However, you need access to the college campus (currently a photo ID/student ID) to access the café. Closed during summer/winter break.
So good!! I love the wraps here. They put amazing aoli’s in them and they are huge for a pretty low cost. Also a big fan of the pre-packed meals. There’s a Mediterranean pack with dolmas and hummus that’s amazing.

Great spot for a quick snack at a reasonable price. I live nearby and don't attend the school but visitors can grab a quick bite after checking in at the security desk. The upstairs foyer is quite scenic if not due for a cosmetic update.
Great place but be aware that this is not a public space. It's only for UC Law students and other businesses professionals. I couldn't get in. I would've loved to try the coffee 😄
Soups are great. The hours listed are incorrect, though, it's open until 4 PM M-Th and until 3 PM on F.
