Pebble's Cafe

Love this Brazilian café! Claudio and his family took over this Glen Park place a few years ago and kept the name Pebbles. They're super nice and serve the city's best pão de queijo (cheese bread), coxinhas (savory dough pockets filled with chicken), and empadas, IMO. They also have amazing fruit/acai/health bowls named after soccer stars like Pele and Neymar, as well as delicious smoothies. Ótimo! (Perfect!)

The coxinha and kibe, made fresh and served piping hot, with some of their bright house-made malaguta chili sauce, are on point here at Pebble's. All of the pastels and other savory hand pie treats are exceptionally good. Some authentic flavors and vibes of Brazil that are well worth the trip to this charming cafe in cozy, bustling little downtown Glen Park. The acai bowls and plates look good, too. There's plenty to explore on their creative menu. Nice folks.

Pebbles is a cafe I love to support. I'm met with friendly staff every time I go there. I usually get an acai bow, but lately I've been branching out and sampling other menu items. I am so glad I did! They have really tasty Brazilian bakery items, as well as toasted sandwiches and great coffee. You can get your items to go, or dine in. It's right next to bus stops and BART, so it's an easy detour for a quick meal or snack.

This place is wonderful. Food is reasonably priced given today’s economy, and the person at the register was very nice. I had a Medium Latté and a Turkey sandwhich. I spent around $15 (with tip). Sandwich was phenomenal; the bread was toasted which was unexpected and a pleasant surprise. The latté uses a very neutral bean; not floral nor fruity, but not on the other end of the flavor note extreme. The barista/register man didn’t burn the espresso too, which is always nice. Worth every penny.

Pebbles Cafe is located across from the Bart Glen Park train station. Pebbles Cafe is also located in the cute and quaint neighborhood called Glen Park. My experience eating lunch and drinking CHAGA at Pebbles Cafe was very positive. My introduction to CHAGA was a pleasant surprise. CHAGA is a hot mushroom beverage that can be ordered with or without caffeine. I chose no caffeine. According to the barista, a cup of CHAGA has 1104 Orac per gram. A nuclear immune booster. While enjoying lunch at Pebbles Cafe, I ordered a SFIHA. This empanada was filled with potatoes, ground beef, onions, and cilantro. This meal is served with a light chipotle sauce. I give the SFIHA 5 stars. The interior seating has 5 tables and chairs on the sidewalk for lounging. I highly recommend a visit. The CHAGA is 10 stars.
