Magnin Street Cafe & Bistro

Great food and outstanding service!! Ms. Consuella makes everyone feel welcome and taken care of! The rest of the staff are so friendly and professional. We ate there 3 times. The food and service were consistently excellent! Best french toast I had! I loved my avocado toast and the hash browns are delicious! Try it out if you are in the neighborhood, you won't regret it!

This cafe was perfectly located around our hotel. It always await time, but I will say it was worth it. The food was delicious, and so was the coffee. The staff was very pleasant and cooks, did amazing, with the high demand of volume that was going in and out of that restaurant. I had a smoked salmon, lox, and caviar omelet, which was delicious.

A great place for early morning breakfast. Loved their avocado toast with poached eggs and my guy got ricotta pancakes with berry compote, and he like it too! Friendly staff, good location, plenty seating, fresh food.

I had a fantastic breakfast at Magnin Street Cafe and Bistro in San Francisco! The pancakes were absolutely delicious—fluffy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The coffee was amazing, rich and smooth, making the perfect pairing for my meal. What truly stood out, though, was the excellent service. The waitress was polite, attentive, and generous, ensuring I had everything I needed for a great start to my day. The cozy atmosphere added to the experience. Highly recommend Magnin Street Cafe for anyone looking for a delightful breakfast in SF!

I was new to San Francisco when I stumbled upon this place by chance—and I’m so glad I did. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. Most importantly, the breakfast was delicious. I had the San Francisco Omelet on my first visit—the filling was generous and flavorful. I liked it so much I went back the next morning, and it was just as good the second time. Highly recommended for anyone in the area looking for a great breakfast spot!

We ordered the French Onion Soup, Calamari Plate, and Fish & Chips — all were delicious and made with high-quality ingredients. The fish was my favorite — perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The cozy atmosphere and warm hospitality made the experience even better. Definitely a place I’ll return to next time I’m in SF!

I had breakfast there for 3 days during my trip to San Francisco. The service staff were all fantastic and the food was great. I particularly loved the San Francisco Omelette. I will definitely be back whenever I am back in the area.

I had gone here with my brother for breakfast the other morning and I was hesitant to write a review but I feel that it is needed. We originally planned to go here for the high ratings online but after eating here, the high ratings just don't add up. The ambiance is unique but not cozy, it's as if they are trying to pretend to be an upscale eatery but can't maintain the image with the level of knickknacks and junk placed everywhere. The food did not meet our expectations. My brother, having ordered a plate of French toast, received only one and a half pieces of bread, and for the cost, that's just embarrassing on the behalf of Magnin Street Cafe and Bistro. I ordered a breakfast sandwich which for $20+ should have at least been more complete and seasoned. This was so disappointing and we will not be back. I suggest you think twice before wasting your time and money on this establishment that doesn't take pride in their food.

All the employees were incredibly friendly and professional. What stood out the most to me was the food though. We got the ricotta pancakes, French toast, hasbrowns, chicken sausage, and toast (iced mocha was really good too!). Everything was incredible- and if I'm visiting SF I would highly recommend this place. I know if/when I come back I am making sure to come here again!

Once again, this has become my go-to place. My friend and I hit up this place for dinner before walking up the street to take in a show at the SF Playhouse. Everything I have had is terrific! This last time I had the salmon dish (crispy, juicy, delicious) Working my way through their menu! Will let you know more as I taste more! Service is always quick and friendly. Ambiance is quiet and spacious.

Stumbled upon this place near my hotel and it became a new favorite from the first bite. Walked in and was greeted immediately and able to get a table. Went with the ribeye which was perfectly seasoned, perfectly cooked, and absolutely melted away. Juicy but with a great crispy sear. The potatoes on the side were crispy on the outside but cooked to perfection on the inside. The service was really attentive. Really couldn't ask for more. A bit quiet on this Monday evening, and was nice to relax/unwind with a glass of red and the soft oldies playing in the background. Will absolutely be back.

Clean bright and filled with good ol holiday cheer! Huevos Rancheros Corn tortillas with two eggs, any style, ranchero sauce, beans, chorizo, Kot cheese, cilantro, and jalapeño peppers. Interesting style here, as it emulates street tacos - some sloppy goodness here. Bistro Bacon Egg and Avocado toast Brioche bread with crispy, bacon, poached, eggs, avocado, pesto sauce, and vinaigrette. Except the bacon was missing (see menu confusion, below), this is a fresh, yummy and healthy option. Shakshuka Space, tomato, and bell pepper stew with poached eggs, goat, cheese, and fresh herbs. Served with warm focaccia. Service was slow but super nice (smiles go a long way during the holidays). Another issue was we found out later that there is a different brunch vs lunch menu - and so that wasnt communicated at all to us - which eventually led to a mistake in an order which could have been easily avoided. However, I would definitely come back knowing the food is excellent. That's all.

New lunch place. They have a great seafood salad sandwich. They have a happy hour that we will love to try.

Excellent food, service and ambience! The servers are really friendly and the pasta was delicious.

Great food, great space, friendly service, would highly recommend for a yummy bite to eat

During a delightful day taking in the festive Christmas season in San Francisco, we were hungry for lunch! The restaurant was slow and almost completely empty. We were greeted as we entered and offered drinks immediately. I tasted a couple different beers and settled for a cold, refreshing Lagunitas Pilsner on tap. We ordered the beef burger which was really tasty, prepared perfectly! We also enjoyed the San Francisco Club sandwich with fresh crab and shrimp, it was delicious too. The fries were hot and crispy too! The food took approximately thirty minutes to ve served but was hot and tasty. Our server never checked up on us and our food but she was friendly. I would recommend dining here. They have excellent food and great choices! The ambiance is very peaceful with classic Christmas music playing in the background. The restaurant was decorated nicely for the Christmas season!

Stopped by for brunch and was so glad I did. The ambiance is nice, very simple but clean. The food was great! I had the San Francisco Benedict and it was sooo good! My husband had the pancakes and they were also delicious! Coming back again!

This cafe was just up from our hotel and it's was sooo darling! We went to grab breakfast before we head home and the waitress and staff were so welcoming! The Benedict regular and San Francisco was so delicious, and I loved that it was served with greens!!!. We also got the matcha and chai teas!!! They were so delicious and delightful!!! I loved the opened kitchen and bar when you walk in. I also appreciate the booth sitting. I'm all about the big windows in a cafe. We will definitely be back!! Thank you for the great service!!!

We had a great breakfast at this brand new little cafe. It's spotless and comfortable inside. The staff was exceptionally and sincerely friendly. The current menu is limited. We enjoyed the California Breakfast and Avocado Toast & Egg breakfast immensely. It's worth the walk from Union Square or the theatre district and convenient to Powell Station.

Service was great. Ambiance was nice too. I liked the jazz music. I had the ricotta pancakes and they were delicious. I also ordered a side of chicken sausage. I don't think I would order the chicken sausage again. I loved this place and will definitely be back.

This is simply a great little diner. All the usual breakfast things and the waitstaff is so nice. He helped us figure a way to order differently to pay a bit less. Excellent omelet. Avocado toast with poached eggs was perfectly done, although it was a little too high to get my mouth around. Next time I will ask for the toast on the side to make it less high. Not a destination restaurant, but exactly what you want in a quality diner.

Yummy food- hash browns were crisp and not greasy, eggs were perfectly cooked, greens graced with delicious light lemony vinaigrette. Cappuccino just right as well.

You have to try this ricotta pancakes if you are in a mood for some sweet in the morning! So moist and fluffy! Just the right amount of blueberry compote on the top. The lemon zest adding some fresh accent! The restaurant ambiance is very cozy, have some vintage arts on the wall, and some cute Lego arts in the display cabinet. Good for family! Service is amazing, all the servers are so friendly! Big shoutout out to them ! Will come back soon

Pleasant atmosphere though almost empty due to downturn in hotel occupancy and shuttered businesses near and in SF Center, one block away. Food was good although chicken salad had dried out chicken with leathery texture. Affogato dessert was outstanding g. Service by friendly Colombia server was exceptional. Steak and burger were great

Cozy and cute. I walked in on a Sunday and was greeted by the hostess and quickly seated! I ordered the fettuccini pasta and it was delicious! It came with a side salad. Interested in coming back to try the burger and wings.

Yummy food and amazing service! Kid told me to up my hot chocolate game after enjoying his

Great breakfast in Union Square. I had the American Breakfast. Just a full on pleasant experience! And...the coffee was great!

Brand new place. So good! Service was superb and the Penne Pasta was delish. Great prices and very close to local places to shop and visit. A must visit. Ambiance is very Paris.

Great diner/cafe for a breakfast before a conference. Attentive service and good food. Enjoyed the eggs Benedict and a satisfying coffee.

We got seated right away and were greeted with a wonderful hostess and server. The food we ordered came out pretty quick and they all tasted amazing! The ambience, music, food is A+ but the service is over the top! Thank you for giving u a h / s a wonderful experience!

This was the perfect place to end up my bday weekend, the service is excellent chelo and Charles made me feel like home, I have to come back my fave appetizer the Surf & Turf platter. Love me some pork belly and perfect fried Calamari and thick fries The New York Steak was delicioso, and let me tell you about the lemon dessert 10 out of 10 you have to try it out, If you're looking for a great place to have glad of wine or Nice cool beer this is the perfect place Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 Recommended dishes Surf & Turf Platter

Wonderful everything- service food and the vibe in this place is special . I'm recommending it highly

Pretty much ignored by server even though place was empty. Chicken salad was ridiculous. 6 slices of paper thin, dry chicken on a bed of boring lettuce. Dressing so lemony made me cough. On top of that ice tea was $5. With tip and tax it was $60 for 2 person highly mediocre lunch. Won't be back.

Fantastic service. Excellent food. Great atmosphere. We love this place and will be back. Our server, Luis, was the best! He wore the most exquisite tie (that he made himself!).

Ate at this wonderful cafe before a show at the Curran Theater. What a treat! The service was wonderful and the food was delicious. I would give this place 5 stars and would return in a minute!!

Super friendly service, great breakfast food and fast service. I had the eggs Benedict and it was delicious. Great coffee drinks too.

Found an amazing spot for brunch! I tried the Ricotta pancakes and the Egg Benedict with Salmon - both were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

Amazing that we were the only ones having an early dinner, because the food and service were fantastic. We both had the crispy duck, and it was flavorful with generous servings of potato and mushrooms.

Nice two pieces of grilled Pork Chops and large portions of stewed vegetables . Delicious! Nice music and feels like stepping into Paris.

Fantastic breakfast! The farmhouse breakfast was very filling and I ate every bit. I especially liked the marinara beans! The fresh squeezed OJ was delicious but maybe would have liked a bigger glass for $8.

Had breakfast this morning with a friend and we loved it. Charming cafe and the server was very warm & attentive. I had not realized they just opened a few months ago. I'll be back!

I found this place near my hotel and the menu looked inviting and the prices more than reasonable for the city compared to others I have seen. I had the French Onion Soup and the Salmon and both were very good. Not a cooked spinach lover but have to say the way they cooked it was excellent and I ate it all. My server was a young lady who I believe was from Turkey and her name sounded like "Tuba" She was very attentive and her smile was lovely. Thanks for making my meal a nice one!

This place is amazing. The staff are friendly, the ambiance is great, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for how nice the food was! And what a great happy hour deal-- super tasty burger + fries & a draft beer for $16 flat. I work at a hotel close by and will be recommending this place to our guests! Going to be returning for brunch sometime.
