Cavalli Cafe

Pretty darn good for SF. Not Bronx New York quality, but for SF this was one of the best cannolis I’ve had here in ten years. WORLDS better than Mara’s bakery around the block. The cannoli was not too sweet and the ingredients were fresh. Presentation was beautiful. Service was friendly. Atmosphere was excellent with an uncrowded nook upstairs where I enjoyed a nice chat overlooking the busy street. Two old gentleman speaking Italian downstairs while the Latino service staff manned the counter. I went during a weeknight so it wasn’t crowded. This was my desert stop after Tony’s slice shop down the block. Overall, a very positive experience.

It has most fascinating people watching view of street life that I could gaze forever ; cafe seems to have been transplanted here from Casablanca with international soundtrack , along with French pop and rock ; walls are adorned with photos of old San Fran , making it a photo art gallery. I also like the tackiness of how they display photographer Ruth Orkin’s famous photo. Some photos and murals outside cafe on bus stop nearby are great too. Love their frothy cappuccino and fashionable cups; their pistachio cannoli is to die for! Also they televise all global soccer matches for free. Only thing missing is a hookah; Love taking photos of the scenes surrounding this cafe , esp on quite Monday nights

An authentic cafe! We had craving for dessert and luckily we were right by this place. We were really surprised by the food and great service we got here. Fresh and delicious tiramisu and cannoli which you can never forget. This place has this atmospheres of an italian cafe which adds up to whole experience. People were really having good time here. And the prices are just right. Do go if you are around, stop by for coffee or dessert, look no further…! Note- cannoli is a must try!

Relaxed yet classy. I went solo for a pick up. Chose a mocha & Tiramisu. WOW!THE BEST! thick foam head on mocha in a 8oz Mason jar- The Tiramisu slice was generous & moist throughout! And for extra fun: the many coffee themed mini signs on the high walls kept me entertained. ...One more perfect part: A handsome friendly barista/front clerk!
