Silverstone Cafe — Restaurant in San Francisco

A basic low end coffee shop in the Mission Dist. Even though this review is mixed I will say I have coffee here 3-4 times a week.

The bad: If you are looking for trendy then look elsewhere, the Batista's are NOT trained, the do not tamp their espresso grounds in the portafilter, they just pour in the grounds and jam it in the machine. Their drip is a mix of 4 different types of grounds (Batista told me this). Basically terrible coffee lol. Come here only for cheep drinks and the chill atmosphere.

The good: They open up at 5:30am 7 days a week (or close to it), Staff and owner are SUPER nice, they are never busy in the morning no matter what day of the week it is (a big plus for me), it is clean, they have a GREAT patio, decent WiFi, fresh fruit for sale, some cute prints on the walls, a very spacious floor plan, good place to go if you don't want to stand in line or want to work on your lappy in peace.

So even though I only gave it 3 stars I love this place. The stars are because of the lack of care put into what is the main product they are pushing (coffee). If they upped their coffee game (stopped mixing grounds, offer a couple different roasts and actually trained the Batista's on espresso production) this would be a great...

This place is my new favorite locally/family owned cafe. The food is fantastic, the people are so kind, and the place itself is beautiful. They have tons of options for any diet and the service was super fast. The space is clean and welcoming, and the walls are decorated with beautiful art and murals. The location is super convenient (literally next door to BART), and they even have an outdoor patio. I got a bagel with cream cheese and a blended coffee, and they we're both absolutely fantastic. The bagel was toasted to perfection, and the coffee was great. Overall, this place is awesome, and adorable, and I will be recommending it to everyone I know regardless if...

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat on my way to hit up some local thrift stores. Had an everything breakfast bagel with ham and it was delicious. Service was quick and the woman behind the counter was very friendly and welcoming. The only issue I had was the TV playing at an extremely loud volume which made communication a bit difficult (I have some hearing loss and tinnitus). It's a neat place, though. Lots of interesting art in the walls and the area behind the counter is beautiful. I'd recommend stopping in if you are in the area. (No pictures of the food because I was...
