Taffi's Cafe — Restaurant in San Francisco

Tried Taffi’s at noon on a Saturday since we were on the hunt for chicken & waffles, and Four Chairs was way too stuffy with a 1 hour wait, while The Front Porch’s version of the dish has been too dry. Taffi’s had no wait and did not disappoint—waffle was crunchy on the top and moist on the inside. Lightly sweet such that it could be enjoyed without the warm maple syrup. Chicken was well seasoned and perfectly crunchy, but not at all greasy. Generous portion too—3 pieces that amounted to half a Cornish game hen-sized chicken.

We also got the breakfast burrito with chorizo. Our server (who we later learned was Taffi herself!) kindly let us swap out the dairy (cheese + crema) with avocados. Only critique was that the potatoes in the burrito may have tasted better a little less charred (tho some char is 👌) and cut smaller for more even distribution. Might also be fun to have extra salsa on the side, though the hot sauce options on the tables worked in a pinch.

Bonuses: the cafe gets amazing natural lighting with a lovely view of Bernal and strikes a great balance of being cozy but not stuffy thanks to its open windows; the servers were super attentive, going so far as to rearrange the tables for a walk-in with a party of 7; bathroom was clean with good soap and strong water pressure 😂👍; and dogs seem to be allowed inside.

Great neighborhood spot for an unplanned,...

For a while I have been wanting to try out Taffi's cafe, I finally had the opportunity today to try it as I was working in the area not too far from the restaurant. I came in and was greeted by the owner Jimmy. What a nice guy. He recommended some specials they have on their menu but what stood out to me was the section for the hamburgers they have smash burgers. I don't know about you but I love me a good hamburger let alone a smashburger. I opted for the standard smashburger which was a double patty with tomato lettuce bun and special sauce I added bacon and grilled onions burger comes with fries. I added an Oreo milkshake as well. First off the burger was incredibly juicy and flavorful It had a wonderful crisp on the patty the bacon was really good as well as the grilled onions. The burger itself was a very good portion I had trouble finishing it. The oreo milkshake was thick made with real ice cream and paired perfectly with the burger. I was very satisfied with my first visit to Taffi's Cafe.

The inside of the restaurant is relatively small but it has a very nice homey local feel to it. When I'm in the area I will definitely be back to get another smashburger or try something else off their menu. Keep up the...

This is a very cute corner breakfast spot in a nice neighborhood. I like supporting new, small businesses, especially when the owners are so nice & pleasant. Food has been good every time I’ve been here. Had the brioche French toast first time I was here and it was great. Today I opted for a lighter, more traditional breakfast and it did not disappoint! Eggs cooked well and thick cut bacon was crispy. The smashed breakfast potatoes were crunchy on the outside, smooth on the inside and seasoned perfectly. The also have salt water taffy on the bar because one of the...
