New Taraval Cafe — Restaurant in San Francisco

My review is based on take-out on 3/7/2021. Indoor dining wasn't available as the owner wants the staff vaccinated before that can happen. New Taraval Cafe makes a very tasty breakfast! My "Irish Breakfast" was ready in about seven minutes. It was two eggs, Irish sausages, two Irish bacon pieces, black pudding with potatoes and a piece of sourdough toast. Their version of the Irish breakfast does not include what is typically in an Irish breakfast, which is baked beans, grilled tomatoes, Irish soda bread and/or mushrooms. They did include black and white pudding pieces which is typically included in a "Full English Breakfast." This was certainly a good lazy Sunday treat for myself. I love using the sourdough bread to break the yolk and soaking it before eating it. Now I have this weird craving for some tea. Good job New Taraval Cafe. I enjoyed my meal very much...

Fast, friendly service and generous portions of standard diner food at this no-frills, hole-in-the-wall greasy spoon.

Three things stood out to me as really exemplary:

(1) Coffee was better than most diners. You expect watery, flavorless coffee at a place like this, but the coffee here was tasty and strong.

(2) Lightning fast service with a smile. There were like 4 different people who attended to me, and I was constantly being checked on, so my coffee was never less than half full. Everyone was really warm and friendly even they blazed through taking care of a packed restaurant.

(3) Substituting fruit for a mountain of greasy potatoes was a standard option that they offered. The fruit was a large portion of apple, orange, tangerine, green grapes, and...

At first when entering this cafe, it may come off as plain and simplistic. It has a somewhat dinner feel with booths and a bar top side near the kitchen. But don’t let that deter you from experiencing this wonderful establishment. The first thing that was obvious about this place was its amazing customer service. The staff was very friendly, providing great service and welcoming positive attitudes. This place is great for breakfast. The food not only tasted great, it looked amazingly appetizing. The cost was reasonable and the experience is worth it. This is a place to check out if you’re looking for something a little different that’s not like a major chain of restaurants. This place stands out on a good note...
