Hidden gem in Hayes Valley. When everything around is overpriced, Cafe La Vie offers the same quality products at a more affordable price. Great bagel sanwhiches and lattes!

Only place I've seen serve $2 black coffees around. But I got the London Fog which now my favorite way to order tea. Nice little spot with WiFi and outlets as well. Would go by again.

Best almond latte i have had anywhere in the world. Quaint coffee shop with a cozy ambiance. Just around the corner of octavia and hayes. All the other coffee shops on hayes are over rated, for coffee don't let thos place pass.

Chill atmosphere, animal friendly. Great year round, but also a great place to grab some shade on a hot summer day, with the nice trees out front. Coffee is fine, but that also depends on who’s making it. The owner and main barista is absolutely the cutest!

Charming neighborhood cafe with artsy ambiance. Reasonable breakfast bagels and great staff.

Great vibe! There’s Wifi, a bathroom, and friendly staff.

Decent small and low-priced local coffee shop with a pleasant vibe. Unfortunately, it’s hard for places like this to stay in business in an ever more expensive neighborhood. I hope it stays!

Always wonderful staff/baristas and good coffee too... not weak, but not too strong either (though you can order shots of espresso if you like it strong!)
Not too much seating inside, and there's inevitably some schmuck taking up the 8 person table in the back with their laptop.
Nice, large bench seating outside that wrap around the old trees in this neighborhood.
Bagel sandwiches ahr ta die fahr!!
Oh, and the bathroom is covered in blackboard with chalk available... Always wonderful messages left by guests :)

So, I've never been here. But I was a little dismayed to hear some dude behind me in line at Hog Island Oysters discussing how this place pays him under the table because he doesn't want his tax dollars to go to paying for various things such as immigrants and whatnot. Man, I wish I could pick and choose what my tax dollars went to, or just ask my employer to pay me cash so I didn't have to pay them.
