Round House Cafe — Restaurant in San Francisco

A Golden Find: Round House Cafe - Coffee, Views, and Deliciousness! If you're looking for the perfect spot to fuel up with fantastic coffee and a bite to eat while soaking in breathtaking views of the Golden Gate Bridge, look no further than Round House Cafe. From the moment you arrive, the setup is simply beautiful. We were lucky enough to snag a table outside on a sunny, blessedly non-windy day, and the experience was truly magical. Enjoying our meal with the iconic bridge as a backdrop and the lovely scenery surrounding us was an absolute treat. But it's not just the location that shines. The coffee here is top-notch – they proudly serve Equator Coffee, and you can taste the quality in every sip. Beyond the excellent brew, their selection of sandwiches is impressive and, importantly for us, included some really delicious vegetarian options. It's clear they put thought into their menu, catering to various preferences. We also indulged in some fresh juice, which was a refreshing and vibrant addition to our meal. The service was friendly and efficient, adding to the overall positive experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Golden...

The best thing about Equator Coffees at Golden Gate is the stunning view — that’s the main reason to visit. You can sit and look out at the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, the ocean, and the passing boats. It’s a truly breathtaking location, perfect for soaking in the scenery.

Pros:

You're up high so the view of the Bay is epic. Good portion of Mount Diablo's tip is also visible on clear days.

Great place to go if you occasionally like to be surrounded by people you don't know.

There's four outlets for devices.

Music is good if you like it less manufactured/ mainstream.

International crowd; great people watching.

Cons:

Due to SF's notorious high wind, they have to leave both their entrance doors open (as the wind would slam them otherwise). As a result there's freeway noise.

Old building and their floor vibrates as people walk by depending on where you sit.

Can get very busy, expect 15 mins to pass before getting your drink.

Doesn't have enough space, seating for how...
