Cafe Melange

Peacefully hidden in city hall. Courteous staff. Fresh sandwich & wrap. The food photos don't match the offerings.

Best ever! The overnight oats with chia seeds, vanilla, apple, cinnamon and brown sugar are both the best overnight oats I’ve ever had and the best chia pudding I’ve ever had 😋 The cob salad was pretty good with super fresh and crisp lettuce and lots of chicken The bacon wasn’t all that crispy, and I thought it was a little odd that it came with ranch, instead of blue cheese, but it was huge and super satisfying! The overnight oats are so good, it seems more like a chia pudding to me, kinda sweet like a dessert The oats are also vegan and made with almond milk, if that matters to you & the Cesar salad and southwest are both vegetarian Also, the texture on those oats is absolutely amazing! Thanks! 🙏🏻 😘

There's a new cafe at City Hall! First, it's kinda hard to find. If you enter from the front entrance, go past the info booth and make a left into one of the exhibit room. You'll see a pic of Dianne Feinstein. Keep going straight and walk down the stairs. Make a right and go all the way down the hall. You'll see the entrance to the cafe to the left. I ordered a drip coffee and the breakfast sandwich (shakshuka). It was pretty good! It's an egg and cheese patty in a brioche bun. The bun was soft and fresh and the egg/cheese patty was yummy. When I think of a shakshuka, I think of eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce. The description of the menu says there's salsa verde, but I didn't taste that. I added Tapatío, which is the acidity I was craving. I think a tomato or some sort of spicy tomato sauce would really elevate the sandwich. And maybe some fresh greens as well. Though, for $9, it was a good deal. It did come with oranges so that was nice. The drip coffee was good. I added some cinnamon, cream, and sugar which was delicious. The coffee is from Tallios. Service was great! We were greeted with big smiles. Today was their grand opening so I'm sure they were excited. We got our food to go, but there are tables across the cafe. It looks run down, so I hope City Hall spruces it up soon so that it's more inviting. The website says this cafe is a Bayview collective, featuring African and African-American restaurants from that neighborhood, like Radio Africa. I'm very excited to see another cafe at Civic Center, especially a place with African/African-American cuisine. I think it will bring more foot traffic in the area. I hope that City Hall has better signage in the future to support this cafe.

The staff here are so nice and friendly. I come for the coffee and stay for the kind atmosphere. The food options for snacks or lunch are great. So glad to have a new cafe in city hall!

Our server Eden was amazing! So very friendly, efficient , and friendly. She could not of been more professional.

So happy to have Café Mélange in City Hall! Olton, Yvonne, and company bring great energy, delicious food, and excellent coffee to the building!

So happy to have a cafe back in city hall! great food & coffee and lovely staff!

With time to kill before a medical appointment I decided to spend it at City Hall. I asked the security guard if there was a coffee shop. Yes. Head toward the staircase where many weddings are held. Go through the South Light Court where there's a little history about City Hall, and down the stairs. The cafe is on the ground level. Friendly staff and lots of food choices for breakfast, lunch, desserts and coffee bar. It's a collective of small business owners from the Bayview District. I got an Americano around 1:15pm. I took it over to a nice eating area across the hall from the cafe. The only thing that took away from a nicer atmosphere for me was what appeared to be a staff meeting. One of them had a dog on leash (maybe support animal) who was eating his dog food off the floor. At least bring him a doggie bowl. Opened since March of this year.

Fabulous service, quick and easy snacks and coffee. The new mint mojito coffee with the fresh mint is off the charts good. Fabulous time of year too. Enjoy your coffee from the fourth floor and listen to the music from the weddings or the gorgeous endangerment photo parade). Great service, easy access through the (shh fabulously less crowded) Grove Street street level entrance or the Van Ness elevators (all three working compared to Plaza side/main entrance).

This cafe is located in the San Francisco courthouse. I went to a wedding inside this courthouse and desperately needing coffee because I was exhausted. The nice police officer walked me down to the cafe. I asked the barista what the best thing is on the menu was, and he said the signature chocolate-hazelnut mocha. I'm usually an iced coffee type of girl but decided to get the hot version . Anyways the barista put his ALL in the drink. It was amazing ! It was a perfect temperature and I didn't burn my tongue , and the flavor was so so so good . It was PERFECT . I went at the end of July, and I don't remember what the name of the barista was . But it was Friday July 26 at 8:30 ish in the morning . Whoever that was deserves a raise or bonus or something haha. I have yet to have a latte like that!

Good to have an option in City Hall and my dumbo tasted pretty good. I just wish the portion was larger (or it was a little cheaper). For the price, it didn't quite feel like a whole meal.

The soup was delicious and it was still warm when I brought it home with me. I would order it again if I am nearby the area.

A cute cafe at City Hall that is convenient for staff and visitors. A little hard to find for the first time. Staff are all nice and helpful. They have grab-and-go sandwiches and salads which have been a life saver for me. Their eggplant sandwich is great and I had a steak sandwich that I haven't seen again, but was so good. I have yet to try their warm food but the options look comforting. They make decent coffee too.
