La Cuisine Cafe

Indeed a hidden gem. Very small space but huge taste. The interiors are so pretty, you feel like sitting longer. We were there ~8:15am on a weekday and they were busy. Fast moving office crowd and it looked like the owner/employee knew most of his customers. They were very flexible with our requests and made the perfect light warm milk for our child. The avacado toast was delicious and so filling. The NY bagel is a regular size bagel with veggies inside. The coffee was excellent!

TLDR: cute cozy spot with seating on a busy corridor, nice decor and relatively inexpensive for SF downtown Stopped by this cute spot and got an iced coffee for $4, cheap by SF standards near downtown. Looking up and seeing the nice artwork and murals, as well as the old school chandelier shows some character in this establishment. Love these old school places that exist less and less these day

The food is delicious and this mocha is the best and tastiest I've ever had (and I always order mocha at coffee shops). The whole place is adorable!

I am writing express my deep disappointment regarding the treatment my husband, his colleague, and I received at this establishment earlier today. Upon arriving for breakfast after my husband’s work shift, we were immediately approached by the owner while sitting at an outdoor table. Before we could even offer a greeting, we were told to leave because the tables were reserved for paying guests. Despite my husband politely explaining that we intended to order, he was abruptly cut off and ordered to leave the premises. Determined to proceed with our visit, I entered the cafe with cash in hand. The owner shouted over other customers that the establishment was credit-only. When I presented my credit card, the owner then stated he would not serve the men outside, claiming his right to refuse service. A customer behind me remarked that my husband and his colleague appeared "homeless" due to their work clothes, a sentiment the owner appeared to agree with and use as a basis for refusal. Even after I clarified that I was purchasing breakfast and coffee for all three of us, the owner refused to serve us entirely. This experience was deeply hurtful and embarrassing. To be judged and denied service based on work attire is unacceptable and contradicts the values of equality and inclusion that define the San Francisco community. We were eager to support your business, but the hostile and judgmental behavior we encountered ensures we will not be returning. I hope you take this feedback seriously and reflect on how your staff and ownership represent your establishment to the public. Shame on you La cuisine! Shame on you!!

It’s a nice little get-away from the busy city outside. Small but cozy french cafe with beautiful interior decors. Absolutely loved the California Brioche Toast - they ran out of brioche and used croissant instead - it was amazing. The owner is super friendly. The hot chocolate and latte was good too!
