It feels pretty nice to have a warm and tasty coffee in a cold & rainy morning. We lived in Union square and had a hangover at the Saturday night. The first thing when I woke up on Sunday was looking for good coffees. Thankfully we found this coffee shop next to our hotel. I ordered a cappuccino and my husband had a cup of americano. Both of us loved it, it made our morning so relaxing and cozy.
Cute, small cafe, with a wide selection of breakfast sandwiches and coffee. The sandwiches are large, so large my family saved the other half for lunch. Had the Bulgoli sandwich, Breakfast Special sandwich and pesto grilled cheese - all delicious. My husband enjoyed the drip coffee. Great place.
Ate a lemon 🍋 cake 🍰.. hot chocolate with cookies 🍪 whipped cream on top and always.. good time with new member of family..I’ve review was written to be helpful to you, the consumer and to also bring relevant information to the attention of the business in focus.

This coffee shop offers far more than just coffee, and its conveniently located near my house. It gets really crowded, but there is seating both inside and outside. The service was fast, and the food was delicious. Locals and college students, along with tourists, recognize that this is an ideal location for breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee, or desserts!
I love their breakfast sandwich (Eggs, cheese, sausage and bacon). What ever you order, you must to try it on Cragel bread (Bagel + Croissant), its heaven. Their coffee is great too.
Cute cafe with mostly indoor and a little outdoor seating.I did not order any coffee but tried their chicken sandwich and it was scrumptious!! Although it takes quite a while (around 10mins) to prepare and there it was packed when I was there, which was around 10 am on a Sunday.
Got the cragle with is a Croissant shaped like a bagel. With cheese bacon and egg. With a coffee. Just the right amount of food. Great coffee too. Enjoyed the good food
Friendly and fast service. Fresh coffee amd quality espresso beverages.
Hands down one of the best breakfast sandwich places around! Their croissant bagel hybrids taste SOOOO good that I swear I dreamt about it that night. Peaceful spot to relax, study, or read and eat a great breakfast, you wont regret it!!
Awesome breakfast! Got sausage cragel sando and pour over Ethiopian coffee. Expensive for breakfast, but so worth it! The guy making it was so nice too! Def recommend for quick nice breakfast
Quiet place with great coffee and breakfast. Staff are quiet but pleasant. Great ambience to chill out and enjoy your cup of coffee - I had a mocha that was not too sweet and had a really nice balance of coffee and chocolate - most places make it such that you can barely taste the coffee. I also really enjoyed the egg salad on onion bagel. Definitely worth a visit.
Great hole in the wall place. Must have the cragels!
Omg! Best cafe. I love the staff here. Must try bagels and coffee in SF.
Good coffee, cragel, WiFi, out door seating, gender neutral bathroom, and friendly baristas. Also love their music
PROS:- really good food!- good drink options, especially warm drinks for winter days- close enough to Union Square for conveniency, but far enough to avoid the crowd (and hence the wait typical at Union Square restaurants)- my friend had a sandwich, and I had a bagel, both have a lot of filling and is extra heavy, so we both had takeaway. Good price for portion!CONS:- limited seating. You’d have to share tables if needed be.
This is a sweet neighborhood coffee shop that is also downtown. A couple of tables and chairs outdoors (as of now, but could change with the recommendations of the Governor) very good espresso drinks, great menu for breakfast items and a list of sandwiches that would rival anywhere. It is very clean and well organized but I have to say the staff is really welcoming and pleasant. So all in all I highly recommendBeanstalk Coffee, a coffeehouse as it should be.
Awesome vanilla iced latte and bagels!!!
Visited during a quiet time of day (1.45pm). Service was exceptionally slow (12mins for a simple order). When delivered, cream cheese bagel was at least day-old bread, and perhaps older. Coffee (Flat white) was thin and runny, and particularly bitter.Probably one of my worst Quick-Lunch experiences for many a month.A sad member of San Frans otherwise excellent Cafe set....
I have allergies to egg and dairy products, so I searched for a vegan cafe on Google... unfortunately I can tack this onto my growing list of Google messups, because this place could barely accommodate me. However, I would say the staff here are very friendly, and tried their best.I had their only vegan option: Mims veggies sandwich without the mayo sauces and cheese, which was good. I ordered a soy cappachino as well, which was too hot for the soy (for those of you who dont normally do coffee, its when the soy is on the verge of burning and so the foam doesnt set properly), but Im grateful they had the option. If I didnt have allergies, Id come here for sure!
The seating is communal here, so be prepared to share a table. Our server was awesome and very attentive. Id definitely come back again during a nice warm sunny day to enjoy their outdoor services!We have been to dinner here several times, and always enjoy our food. We have had their tamale plate, chicken fajitas, and their Mexican dinner. The complimentary chips & salsa are some of the best in town if you enjoy spice! The location is difficult to get to but once you follow the GPS for your first visit youll never forget.
Delicious. I just had their Nina’s veggie sandwich and it was phenomenal. Very fresh ingredients with a warm and crunchy bread. Yum. I also STRONGLY recommend their pour over coffee. I had the Colombian one and it was very flavourful. What a great find!

Coffee is very small, not really good taste (burnt)
We went during Thanksgiving Holidays. I has a vegan sandwich and it was just great! You can feel it is the neighborhood coffee shop. The owner is very friendly. I loved it!
They have a wonderful selection of breakfast items, bagels with cream cheese, bagel sandwiches, croissant sandwiches. They also have a very nice lunch menu, we will have to come back for lunch. We enjoyed some bagel sandwiches and a delicious cup of joe. We will be back the next time we are in San Francisco.
Nice site for quality cafe food. The food was amazing. Quick and friendly service. It has an awesome atmosphere.
This guy is a machine, coffee has no burn and he was rushed with customers!!good bagels
I was just visiting from New York and luckily found this wonderful little cafe. The food and drinks there are simply amazing, and served with a smile and caring attitude that was incredibly refreshing to this New Yorker! I stayed in the area for 4 days and had or picked up my breakfast there every morning. Yeah! It was THAT GOOD!! If you are in the Union Square area, GO to the beanstalk! You will not be disappointed!
Legit breakfast options made quick by what appears to be knowledgable staff. Nice cozy cafe. The cashier/waitress/owner(?) is friendly/competent/cute. I probably have stricter criteria than this for most days but really, cant find any complaints here.

One of my fav places in san fran
I love everything about this place. Coziest, charming decor and amazing sausage, egg and cheese sandwich. My latte was the creamiest and my husband felt the same about his choices. The owner and staff were beyond nice and I am going back soon because they now have Pinkberry frozen yogurt!!!!
Quick service and good quality food.
Awful $5 pour over coffee- zero flavor and watered down
Try the pour down coffee. Brilliant. Good breakfast choices. Reasonable prices. Happy, smile-filled service.
Interesting place. Pretty nice service. Food... Not so much. Breakfast sandwich was one of the worst Ive had; dry bread, pre-made eggs, strange sausage. Espresso is decent.
Nice place for Cafe food. i love going here. had a friend come into town and she asked me to take her here again. the bill was appropriate for the quality. i see why this place has a lot of great reviews.
Comfortable and cozy. Had a egg, bacon and cheese cragel. Generous portion. Tasty but a little dry. Good coffee.

Have been coming here since they opened, and the food quality and service has been consistently great. Love the sandwiches!
Good service and nice place!
Long wait marrs the place but the bulgogi sandwich and the bread it was on was pretty good. However, not sure it was worth $11+tip. Tight space. Ended up sitting with others at a large table, which was fine, but a bit too cozy to be relaxing.
After a long walk up and down the hills of San Francisco.A welcome respite.Staff could have been a little more welcoming.Coffee good.
Good food prepared while you wait. The owner and his wife are charming, warm with a good eye for similarly dispositioned staff. Popular with local residents because the food is consistently well prepared. The Union Square adjacent location attracts tourists from hotels and cable cars. Often has an international feel as a result. They expanded the space to add additional seating. You can still pop in for coffee a chat or small selection of baked goods. The sandwiches are good to take out if you prefer. Mornings expect a wait, particularly on weekends. Not inexpensive but, certainly a value. They are opening a second location, I believe in the Sunset. Stay tuned.
During my trip to San Francisco, I walked into this cafe for breakfast. I had Bush Street breakfast sandwich - Wow, Awesome!! Just perfect!I received kind service, wood tables are beautiful, the cafe has relaxing environment.
This is a cute little coffee place just off all the hustling from union square. Youll find a lot of locals here just enjoying a cup of good coffee. They are also good for a light and quick breakfast or brunch. I love their interior - super high ceilings, a lot of light and very modern and cool. It has a good amount of hipster vibe to it and they certainly take it serious preparing your espresso or sandwich. Youll always get a smile from the barista. They also serve slow drip coffee which tastes excellent. Seating is limited but usually you can always grab a table.

Good food, good coffee, takes a few minutes to have your sandwich made. nice quiet spot to work or study. WiFi available
This a great neighborhood place get a sandwich or other things that isnt too far from the more commercial establishments that surround Union Square (SF). The service can be slow, but worth the wait. The photo is of my terrific veggie sandwich that I ate outside in the sun in Union Square.
Loved this little gem! Stopped in for coffee and breakfast sandwiches and they were so delicious! The cragel is soo good. Their lunch sandwiches looked amazing as well. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a local cafe. I will say the place is kinda small so if you visit while busy you’ll need to grab it to go cause not much seating.
Cafe food and the atmosphere here is very good. The staff was very friendly and kind. The bill wont shock you.
Great spot for coffee and snacks. Its a bit blurry since we went here a couple months ago but I think we had this really yummy bugogi sandwich.Filled with tender and flavorful meat on some toasty bread, it hit the spot! The cafe is quite small with minimal seating. Service was great! Super nice staff and our orders came out fast.
One of the nicest veggie sandwiches I have had in the city. Also good coffee.
If youre reading this review just come to Beanstalk. Its has great coffee and a great staff. The place is larger since the expansion (obviously), but still isnt a spot to bring a large group.The breakfast sandwich and cold brew are one of my favorite weekend morning treats.
Definitely get there early for the cragel. Loved the bulgogi sandwich.
Drip coffee was delicious, but the breakfast sandwich was just alright.
Great iced coffee. The food can take a little while to prepare, but it is worth the wait. Theres a good amount of seating and plenty of tables.
Cute little cafe with a nice selection of sandwiches. I tried the pesto grilled cheese which comes on toasted ciabatta. The pesto is flavorful and the cheese is melted evenly. I also got a hot chocolate which was good.
Had a spicy chicken sandwich, tasted nice. Was pretty crowded when I arrived around 9, but cleared up pretty quickly.
I have only ever gone here for lunch but I really like the sandwiches. Although the sandwich prices pack a heavy San Francisco price, they are very filling. I can usually only eat just a sandwich for lunch with no sides. They use quality ingredients, vegetables and freshly made bread. All sandwiches are toasted in the oven and come with sauces and veggies unless you specify what you dont want. Service is usually quick if you catch them at the right time but they will get a nice sized lunch rush. Only have had a few occasions where new sandwiches makers have taken longer then normal but that wont stop my from still giving this place 5 stars. My personal favorites are the Spicy Chicken and the Bulgogi Beef sandwiches.
Beanstalk serves delicious (and overpriced) breakfast sandwiches, but what else do you expect from a place near Union Square? Id recommend a breakfast sandwich (made right in front of you, so you know its fresh) and a latte - walk down the block and enjoy them at a table in Union Square.Weekends the line can be a bit long, but if you have some time to kill its worth it.
Came here on a Sunday morning. There were a few people in front of us but it wasn’t crazy. We ordered two breakfast sandwiches to go and it took 25 minutes for us to get our sandwiches.
It has to he one of the finer mochas I have ever gotten. If you like your mochas creamy, then get one here. The food is also pretty good. Its not the best, but its good. Fresh ingredients that really make a difference. The food is a bit on the pricey side, but if youre willing to spend a little more, I recommend coming to this place.
Simple breakfast. Egg and cheese bagel was nice. In an area void of weekend options this is a good choice.
Nicest coffee I had whilst visiting San Francisco. Gem of a cafe. Get out of your hotel and have breakfast here. Great sandwich and bagel too
Coffee is delicious. Bagels are yum according to hubby. No gluten free options, unless you wanna buy an apple. not suited for celíacs :(
