Cool Cravings

Super friendly staff. Great tasty sandwiches, made to order. Lots of choices. Everything is always fresh. You'll enjoy the juice bar. They really work hard at ensuring you are satisfied and making suggestions with your orders if you are indecisive like myself. Fast service.

Best wrap we've ever had. Fresh and put together perfectly, and their smoothies are the best! The staff are very welcoming and friendly, so if you're in San Francisco, you need to eat here!!!

Great sandwiches, great coffee, even greater service! I was in SF for two weeks and came here sometimes to grab a morning coffee and sandwitch. On my third visit, they asked me whether I wanted "the usual". Super nice and helpful staff.

After placing my order, I was able to chat with the owner briefly who told me that he bought this space which used to be a deli. Let me say that I'm glad he did! Although finding parking may be difficult, this cafe is worth checking out. TL;DR version: 1. HUGE selection of food - try the chicken curry bowl 2. They have a juice bar in here - try the Complete Workout 3. 5-star atmosphere / food / customer service 4. I'm coming back again ATMOSPHERE: I love how this cafe was pretty spacious and could accommodate approximately over 30 people. When you enter the cafe, you're met with the counter to place your order. If you look to your far right, you could see that they also have a juice bar here - how unique is that?! FOOD: One thing that stood out to me was the wide variety of choices Cool Cravings had! It took me a while to figure out what I wanted and asked the owner what he suggested. What's cool that he told me was that his 80-year-old father cooks the specials and that the chicken curry rice bowl was fantastic. I was eventually sold on that. I ordered the chicken curry rice bowl while my boyfriend ordered the chicken place with rice and salad. We found a table to sit and in probably 5 minutes, the owner placed our food in front of us. From the very first bite to the last, I couldn't believe how I haven't been to this cafe yet. I feel like if I ate this every day, the law of diminishing effect would be broken because I would not get tired of this! The chicken was cooked properly and wasn't too overcooked. The potatoes were tasty and soft - just right. We also got some juice. It's like Jamba Juice in a cafe but better! I ordered the Complete Workout, which was comprised of strawberry, banana, mango, and pineapple. The Complete Workout was literally all my favorite fruit blended into one. There's a slight sour-y tang in the aftertaste. CUSTOMER SERVICE: As soon as I entered the restaurant, the employee behind the counter acknowledged and greeted me with a friendly smile. I observed around the cafe and the people that worked here seemed to be super friendly. I appreciated how I was able to get to know the owner and chat a little bit, especially about the history of the cafe. One thing that I witnessed that was kind was when there was this female patron that was about to pack up, one of the employees asked if she wanted a bag before she even had to go up to the counter and ask! Staff here is on point. I wouldn't say this place is fine-dining, but it's affordable luxury because they have 5-star food with a 5-star staff. And c'mon, where else would you find a gem like this in San Francisco?! I highly suggest coming here and bringing your friends. I'm super excited to come back again and try the rest of their selections!

This is a great place for sandwiches. The Reuben ("Curb the Crave") is particularly good. Besides sandwiches, they have an assortment of other foods including soups, salads, and deli staples like dolma. There is probably something for everyone. The refrigerated drink selection could be larger, however they do have a juice bar to make up for it. This place can get crowded around lunch.
