Fiddle Fig Cafe & Coffee — Restaurant in San Francisco

Note worthy cafe! This cafe is a great addition to the North Beach neighborhood! Literally a short walk from the famous Lombard Street tourist attraction, it’s an easy choice for lunch, coffee or tea, or a nice place to get some work/studying done.

The ambiance is super chill, trendy and the plant aesthetics are just the right touch. We saw a lot of people studying and I can see why; not too loud or fussy and perfect menu items to fuel you for a long study or work sesh. It’s also very clean inside, including the bathroom, which is a rare find in San Francisco.

Also a big plus for us is the outdoor seating! The weather was great that day and we had our dog with us so it was a great place to have lunch with our dog. Pet friendly always wins for us.

Drinks: I ordered a mocha, which was perfect- great flavor and nice alternative milk options available. I saw they have a lot of other options like teas and smoothies, will have to try it next time.

For the food: Açaí bowl- simple and delicious, solid item on their menu I would order every time.

Chicken sandwich- the bread is amazing and the chicken was chopped up nicely, a great fresh tasting option.

Veggie sandwich- this was the highlight of our lunch. Same bread as the chicken sandwich so we loved that already but the veggies were perfectly seasoned and grilled. The flavor is amazing, not too overpowering either. Definitely getting this again!

The sandwich portions are big, I was stuffed! Definitely worth the price.

If only I lived in the area, I’d probably frequent this place more often, but it’s definitely a note worth cafe to check out...

This place is so cute! Stopped here for breakfast and to work for a few hours, and it was pretty easy to find a seat by the wall early in the morning. It got a bit crowded later during the lunch rush, so I recommend stopping by outside of rush hours to grab a seat with an outlet. There were a decent amount of plugs but not enough to serve every table- pretty expected! The music was great, the servers were nice, and the general vibe was sit back, chill, and enjoy the surroundings. It was easy to stay focused on work with no major distractions. For food I ordered the breakfast sandwich and at first glance I was doubtful, as it visually resembled the microwave sandwiches from Starbucks. But wow, looks can really deceive. The sandwich was DELICIOUS and had the perfect texture - I think it was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had in San Francisco so far. I can’t recommend it enough, in fact I’m worried about not being able to enjoy other breakfast sandwiches during my trip! If you’re a visitor like me, then I recommend taking an early morning cable car out to Lombard street, checking out the crookedness, then walking down Lombard street to this cafe. A nice little combination of touristy stuff and...

TL;DR - Staff is nice and food is decent. I would come back.

Food: Avocado Toast: tasty toast with fresh avocado. The addition of the everything bagel seasoning creates a nice balance. Yogurt Parfait: the yogurt is not overly sweet and also not overly sour. The one we were served struck a nice balance with the fruit and oats. Seasonal Kougan-amann: Ours was pear flavored and the taste was nice. Though way too much butter was used on this. It was practically dripping and my hands were covered in butter. Maybe use less of that. 😂

Coffee: Mocha: The mocha had a nice presentation but seemed to miss the expected deep chocolate flavor. While there was some chocolate at the bottom, with was a small amount and not mixed well. This really just tasted like a coffee with milk in it, which is unfortunate.

Note: The chalkboard menu has a portion (left side of the image) which is VERY difficult to read. I had to get a printed menu and another patron literally pulled out binoculars to see it. Small letters with a bad contrast is a horrible design for a sign. You guys should rewrite this part with...
