Bazaar Café — Restaurant in San Francisco

Bazaar Cafe hosted our engagement party in their incredible garden.

I can’t imagine a better place to host a gathering of 10-30 people.

Their garden is beautiful and organic with plenty of books and crannies. It was a great place to host a party.

Somehow the garden is always 5-10 degrees warmer than the rest of the city. It blocks the wind and keeps everyone cozy.

We asked them to create a spread for us and they dazzled us with so many bite sized, delicious snacks for our guests. From a charcuterie board to bite sized Bundt cakes to buttermilk biscuits. They went above and beyond what could be expected.

I’m always respectful, I tip generously, and I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. But this will be my last visit.

These patterns may be subtle—but...

After a day at Crissy Field, we were looking for a nice spot to take a end-of-the-day coffee break. We found Bazaar Cafe, and were pleasantly surprised. It looked like it was closed (since curtains were closed over), but if you encounter that same issue don't let it deter you! The inside was eclectically decorated, and classic music filled the interior (had I brought something to work on, I'm sure I would have been as focused as ever!). The coffee, too, was very enjoyable. It is simple, but just what I was looking for. The real jewel of this cafe is the garden area in the "backyard." It was beautifully landscaped, and super relaxing (there was almost zero city noise!). In summary, if you're in the neighborhood, take a coffee break at...
