Uwe Jens NeumannJune 23, 2014Never been to a French café that doesn't serve baguette. But otherwise it's very French ... except the gate to China Town across Bush St.
Ed SteinwenderMay 27, 2012Onion soup is yummy...shrimp cocktail good. The shrimp were tiny but the sauce was yummy
Catherine B.September 4, 2011One of my favorite downtown brunch spots and a great International magazine selection.
Great bar staff...hooked me up with a free Bloody Mary
Rodrigo ArtaviaNovember 30, 2014Food is good, but skip the meal and go to desserts. Try the opera cake...
A bit of Paris Enjoy a pastis while reading a foreign magazine or paper Or come for cassoulet day
AOOctober 5, 2012A little piece of Paris in the heart of San Francisco, next to the Chinatown Gate; go figure.
Nathan KamMarch 4, 2011The croissants are amazing. Almond one comes with cream inside. Get a plain one if you prefer.
- The Croque Madame and Monsieurs are good for a quick bite.
Jole PDecember 29, 2017The food is decent but prices are touristy.... Defs better finds in the city for a cafe
Rua DelalunJune 9, 2019This is the WORST cafe ever, they should close this cafe and put who makes the coffees in jail! Coffee is disgusting, creme brulee isn’t served right and they don’t deserve to earn money!!!
DJ CapobiancoJune 10, 2017Adorable, but authentic French service (which is to say, really really bad service)
Nic WernerOctober 7, 2016Overpriced tourist trap. The food is mediocre, keep going up Bush Street if you want French.
Christopher ScottFebruary 1, 2010Their plain croissant are great! Do yourself a favor & skip Starbucks for your morning stop-off.
SandraFebruary 10, 2018While the food is good, expect “Parisian style” service: snotty, condescending and plain rude.

"Definitely allocate some time here to stroll around and take some candid shots of the gate. The location offers an abundant amount of goodies from Asia, and souvenirs. Tip: bring your bargaining game!"
