Poesia Cafe — Restaurant in San Francisco

Okay so I went to Poesía Cafe with the intention of only getting breakfast there. I had seen on Yelp the beautiful sandwiches and coffees that other folks had shown and I wanted to check it out.

As I entered the individual behind the cash register greeted me with a big smile and welcomed me to the store. He asked me if I needed any help in selecting any items considering I had told him it was my first time there.

I ended up getting two pastries and a breakfast croissant which were both delicious.

I'm not going to lie I like the service that I received, the tastiness of the food, and the colorful atmosphere that I decided to go back for lunch.

I ended up getting a Caprice style sandwich which was delicious. And I ordered another two pastries so that I could take home with me.

Both times I would have liked to have stayed and eaten at the restaurant unfortunately I had meetings. I can say though in both instances the restaurant was perfect for having conversations either inside or outside. It didn't feel overly crowded even though it was so close to the Castro....

✨ A Hidden Gem That Feels Like Home – Poesia Cafe ✨

Stepping into Poesia Cafe in the Castro is like being transported straight to a cozy coffee shop somewhere in Europe. The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth, and a kind ambiance.

The coffee is absolutely delicious – rich, smooth, and crafted with care. Every sip took me back to mornings spent in little cafés home, where the espresso is strong, and the smiles are genuine. Their pastries are out of this world, too.

This place has heart. From the friendly staff to the calm, inviting atmosphere, Poesia Cafe is everything a neighborhood café should be. It’s now my go-to spot for coffee, pastries, and a little peace in the middle of the day.

Can’t recommend it enough. A true treasure in the...

Look, I’m sure this place is good at other things but good Lord do not order the cookie. It was insultingly bad. In middle school we had cookie giveaway but no one wanted it bc it tasted like cardboard. This was worse. And they charge $4.50 for it hahahaha. Just take it off the menu. Or they should go eat an even low-end cookie anywhere else and you’ll realize what you’ve been doing to people 🤣 The cookie is 0 stars, the 2 stars are bc i wish i didnt have to be mean review guy but its just that bad haha

Reply: nah, thats not it. If it was people who’d never had a cookie or who enjoyed cardboard i guess they’d like this. I was there at 1pm, wasnt like it was old. Maybe a rival bakery snuck in a DUD...
