Blue Danube Coffee House — Restaurant in San Francisco

This will be my very first review and I felt compelled to do so because my boyfriend and I were so jazzed to try this place out we even drove an hour on empty stomachs so that when we arrived and got our food we could totally grub out on what looks to be total mouthwatering delicious dishes! Walking through their door, I'm surprised that everyone in the establishment didn't hear our stomachs growling in celebration that we had finally arrived and were finally going to be able to grub after our long trip here. I go to the counter and order my food and the gentleman working says to me....

...."OH YA, UMM SORRY, OUR KITCHEN CLOSED AT 6" 😳😭🤯

NO WHERE ONLINE DOES IT MENTION THAT THEIR KITCHEN CLOSES EARLY! NO WHERE!!!!

I'm rating them a 2 because you can't deny that their food looks amazing, but then again I'm rating them a 2 because we were unable to order anything! Long travel, empty stomachs and leaving VERY UNHAPPY! This all could have been avoided! It's a simple fix. I really suggest that online you let your customers know that you close your doors at 7, but (the most important time of all) you shut down your kitchen at 6.

Really wishing I could have tried their food. Maybe next time I'm out this way the stars will align, but one thing is for sure, they won't be the sole reason for my travels to this area anymore. * 😔 what a let down, totally...

Whereas other patrons want a place to park themselves and use WiFi for free, I want to be able to get a seat, eat, relax with a beverage, read or people watch. Here at Blue Danube people are engaged in reading a real book (!), having a meal or snack while conversing with their friends, and being present in the experience. Blue Danube is charming! It’s not a cookie cutter chain coffee shop. It’s a local, one-and-only place. You feel like you’re in Berkeley, the Latin Quarter of Paris or a eclectic Vienna when you sit at these miss-matched tables. Generations have penned books, written in their journals and sketched art at Blue Danube. It’s an eclectic décor that is colorful - love it! The food is tasty and hot drinks are Hot(!) which you need in the chilly Richmond neighborhood. This café employed their regular & student staff during the pandemic - which is meaningful to me. As a family owned business, it supports its neighborhood so we need...

Seemingly good spot for meeting with others, not good spot to do anything that requires internet. Was looking forward to my smoothie despite the high price, but it unfortunately was on the bland side- tasted watered down. Realized WiFi wasn’t open but when I asked about the password, the staff told me they don’t give WiFi access with a food/drink purchase. Luckily, I could use my phone’s hotspot, but this would’ve been a bummer if not for that since I came here specifically to get some work done online, especially since most other coffee shops were closed late afternoon on a weekend!

Was very busy, lively, on the louder side. Seems they're aiming more to be a community hangout, but I'm not in a rush to return even for that purpose given the lackluster drinks my...
