Garden House Cafe — Restaurant in San Francisco

This was one of those personal great finds and by accident.

I was really going to one of my regular Chinese restaurants and it happened that they were closed on that day and as I was walking back to my car, I gave the Garden House Cafe a second look and decided I'd give it a try.

I checked out the menu and I opted for the bacon and egg sandwich option and asked the lady to use croissant instead of their usual. She was more than accommodating. The sandwich was very good, but it was the whole atmosphere that compelled me to write this review.

The interior was old school coffee house darkish, but it felt quaint and cozy comfortable. Some folks were busy with laptops as they worked away given they have free WiFi access there.

But what sold me on the place was the outdoor patio/garden-like dining area, quite Eden-ish in tranquility as I settled in for one of the most relaxing midmorning brunch I've had in a long time.

I lucked out in that the weather was perfect, I had the patio area all to myself and had no other pending errands to do. Maybe that was just it, that for a short period, time felt unhurried and with bacon & egg sandwiched in a croissant, could life...

Charming family-run cafe with a lovely patio, warm services and great values. Highly recommended! (Please note: cash only)

I ended up in the area after a run and came to Garden House because of the good reviews it receives. I was not a bit disappointed. The food has big portions at very reasonable prices. There are lots of sandwiches and pastry items to choose from. My sandwich tastes good and definitely satisfied my big and hungry appetite. The chocolate muffin costs only $2.5 but is so big that I can only eat half of it.

The cafe is pretty quaint. There are old books, posters and furnitures in the dining area, as well as a cute, half shaded patio in the back with plenty of tables.

The lady owner of the cafe is such a warm, funny person and gives you the vibe of a nice neighbor. She has been running the cafe for 20+ years and I definitely see why locals would support her business. I for sure would love to...

This place was amazing! We were on the 49 mile scenic drive and googled for a breakfast place. The good reviews led us to this cafe.

The cafe is old fashioned and looks almost a bit run down, but in the cozy, old good way! An old piano invites to hit some keys. There were two super friendly girls at the counter taking our orders. They answered all questions regarding the menu super patiently and just seemed to enjoy working there.

We ordered a latte, a cappuccino, a Thai iced, two ham and egg, and one spinach egg cheese breakfast sandwich. In addition we ordered a blueberry crumble and a carrot cake. All was really good!

When we asked to get a to-go bag or a container another lady (owner?) immediately offered to wrap it for us.

Overall great experience, good food and amazing customer service. If ever in SF again we'll definitely...
