Sweet Joanna's Cafe

Sweet Joanna’s is the quintessential workday lunch spot - Review - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Almost everyone who walks into this decades-old cafe is greeted by name, quickly followed up with “the usual?” Like them, we’re drawn into Sweet Joanna’s inSoMafor a quick grab-and-go lunch and the always-free tables that are great for getting some work done. This weekday-only cafe is built for nearby office workers, with strong coffee and seven kinds of tea lattes (go for the hojicha), an always-stocked pastry case with solid donuts and croissants, and nearly 30sandwichoptions. Prioritize the tuna melt and classic egg salad—behave like a proper San Franciscan and get them on dutch crunch—or you can just build your own. Gather up a small crew whenever you need an office escape, or if you’re flying solo, there is wifi, but just know the music is a bit loud, so avoid taking any calls." - Patrick Wong
