Noe Cafe - San Francisco, California

Holy shiiiiiat. This is THE BEST ESPRESSO IN TOWN. And I’d like to think I’ve had upwards of 20 different ones in the past few months.

Their beans are just delightful. Explosively flavourful, and a chocolatey delight. Do yourself a favour and go to Noe! It rhymes for a reason.

Beautiful cafe on a street corner with outdoor seating and a variety of pastries and drinks.

There was a short line when I visited on a Wednesday afternoon. It appeared that the indoor seating was closed off. When it was my turn to order, I stepped to the counter and got a "Fresh OJ" and "Everything Croissant" which totaled just under $10. Paying was easy because they accept mobile payments and cards. The juice tasted fresh but was in quite a small cup for $4. Still, it was a reasonable serving. The croissant was super flaky and there was a good amount of everything seasoning on top. It was filled with a squiggle of cream cheese. Utensils, napkins, and that sort of thing were on a little table further inside. The walkway wasn't very wide, but a small wheelchair could squeeze through. Overall, it was a good experience, though pricier than I expected. But if you're going to a cafe, it's because you want to splurge a little and not make a drink for yourself.

Great neighborhood cafe with well-made coffee and a large selection of pastries and snacks. The indoor space is taken up by the coffee bar in the middle, but there's a lot more seating outside which is great on a nice day in Noe Valley. The cafe just seemed a bit understaffed on the weekend so I had to wait 10-15 minutes, so keep that in mind if you're in a rush.

Have been coming here a few times with a friend that lives nearby, not a fan of their weekend morning long lines. Drinks are ok (passable) but pastries and hearty breakfast items are all great. They have great empanadas, very delicious dill biscuits and the lox is also very good. They had run out of bagels before noon today but we were still able to get some of the other goodies.

I won't go out of my way to get my coffee here, but I'll stop by happily for a biscuit.

Hidden amongst the residential neighborhood, café but have some great options. Iced Americano had a bit of a sour taste to it, like the shots were under extracted or coffee choice wasn't the best for espresso use.

Service was unexpectedly not as friendly or even typical customer service-y. Three people behind the counter, one or two customers just ahead of me, but everyone working had an -I don't really want to be here - kind of attitude, which was a bit off-putting. When handing out the food/drink they were a bit nicer but hardly acknowledging. Just strange for a neighborhood coffee shop. When I said thank you, loudly, when taking the order, they just turned and went about their business.

Love this sunny corner cafe in one of the best SF neighborhoods. Coffee is great and community is friendly and chill:) Taco nights on Thursday are to die for!

I had a fantastic peanut butter cookie and good coffee in the afternoon. Loved the vibe — so many plants! Family and dog friendly with outdoor seating (although there’s no indoor; it’s reserved for employees). They also have merch and coffee for sale. Yummy local coffee stop.
