What Diners Say

★★★★★ "Nice Italian bakery. Better than many Italian places in North Beach. I had the cappuccino and the Muffin Coffee Pecan Praline. Both were great but the muffin lacked the coffee taste!

★★★★★ "Yummy Italian-style cafe and bakery serving a wide variety of viennoiserie , cookies, cupcakes, pies and cakes. Perfect to enjoy with espresso or coffee.

★★★★★ Remi Tayar 3 weeks ago

Absolutely delicious! The burrata bruschetta was fresh and flavorful, the croissant perfectly flaky, and the pistachio biscuit was a standout!

★★★★★ "Okay so I went to Poesía Cafe with the intention of only getting breakfast there. I had seen on Yelp the beautiful sandwiches and coffees that other folks had shown and I wanted to check it out.

Great place for a coffee sandwich or pastry. Great service. Easy to walk past so keep your eye open.
