Cafe Gourmand

Amazing Mediterranean and Tunisian food, I had the Shakshuka Mergues which is lamb sausage with Eggs, tomatoes m, onions and peppers served with baked Baguette. Awesome. They also have rotisserie chicken that is not on the menu and make couscous on Sundays

I stopped in omw home from the post office...I was craving a pastry but the savory smell was too enticing to ignore. Once the fellow at the counter (I'm thinking proprietor) told me that they bake their bread fresh daily, I was sold. I asked for a recommendation, (which, in spite of his best efforts and cheerful patience as I tried - first to pronounce - and then memorize the name of the dish, completely eludes me now) but it was their specialty; a hot sandwich on warm soft flatbread with a mysterious selection of melted cheese, lamb sausage (I think!) and an egg omelet. I had every intention of taking a photo, but it smelled so wonderful that I forgot until, well, the picture below shows what was left. It was different, delicious and I will definitely be back!

My fav Tunisian place in the United States 🇺🇸! Glad to be here and try s7an tounsi Lablebi And mlokhia tounseya ! Khal you are an artist !

Got the merguez sandwich. Harissa was good, merguez flavorful. Sandwich was pretty big, half an entire baguette sliced in half and filled. Excellent portion size to pricing. Only the one person behind the counter (owner?) when I went in, who was very friendly and running everything (answering phone, making sandwiches, cooking on burner, cashier, etc.). Happy there's something good to support in the old Shakedown spot.

Best lamb sausage I've ever had - holy moly. It was very flavorful and perfectly cooked. I got the plate, which came with a generous hunk of baguette. Can't wait to come back and try the other meats they have (and I believe they're all homemade). Also, they have coffee! Super excited to have another place to get coffee in this neighborhood. Cafe Gourmand has drip and espresso drinks as well as a good selection of non-dairy milks for unfortunate people like me who are lactose intolerant. Cheap prices, especially compared to some of the competition. There are cute bar/window seats and a few seats outside if you want to watch the TL go by as you eat/drink.

Visiting from out of town and we had sandwiches before leaving back to the airport. Amazing sandwiches! They’re big and worth the money! Definitely need to check it out!

This is my new place to go when I'm in sf downtown. This is a deli with a Tunisian touch. That's the only deli with those flavors you'll find in the bay area. There is some sandwich that you'll found only in this store. Like kafteji (vegetarian food) sandwich or plate and homemade mergez (lamb sausage) sandwich or plate ... (Tunisian speciality) The products are fresh with Tunisian spices. This is one of the few deli where you can have french baguette for your sandwich which is very hard to find in the bay area. This is a new place, just give it a try if you want some new food flavors in your mouth with decent prices, it's worth it.

Food here is made with utmost care. Owners and staff are super friendly. Can’t believe they make their own bread, roasts, sausages.. all of it is good! I will be a regular!

I ordered a mix of prosciutto, chicken and turkey sandwiches (on dutch crunch) as well as chocolate and tres leches cake. I had the chicken sandwich and chocolate cake, and both were delicious. My coworkers tried the other sandwiches and the other cake and everyone loved it and asked me to order from here again. I will most definitely be ordering from here and highly recommend.

I'm conflicted about leaving such a poor review, because I do know they carry weight. The owner is a pretty nice guy and the food is ok. However, I always feel uncomfortable walking by, much less going inside because of the groups of men socializing outside. It reminds me of traveling alone in Egypt or Turkey and being ignored because I'm a woman. They take over the sidewalk and are very rude If i try to pass, i have walk in the busy street because there is no sidewalk room. I'm not sure they have a license for outdoor seating but they don't care They use their stools to hold parking places for friends (parking is hard enough already without these kinds of shenanigans). I go out of my way to support small businesses in my neighborhood but I feel uncomfortable in and around this restaurant and I won't be returning

Came back for more delicious plates Got another item that's not listed on the menu , Grilled Trout Fish plate served with Fries, salad, harissa, bread and kefteji. Out of this world!

Great spot to try authentic tunisian fast food ! Awesome service and yummy flavors, definitely recommend
