Social Cafe

Amazing family couple cafe. They are so sweet and their salads and drinks are delicious. Their chicken pika is also the best, I come here all the time! It’s real coffee!

I’m from Miami and this is, hands down, the best Cuban sandwich I’ve ever had! The ham croqueta and cortadito were also absolutely incredible—so delicious! Everything was very fresh, and everyone was very friendly! Definitely highly recommend and will be coming back soon!

Cuban food is very hard to come by in the Bay Area, and if you’re wondering why this place has a 5.0 rating stop by and see for yourself! The Cuban sandwich here genuinely was better than the ones I’ve had in Miami. The pork is much more flavorful, and the bread is house made and super fresh. I am shocked I didn’t know we had a Cuban bakery in the heart of SF, but you gotta stop by and see for yourself! They also have a lot more love put into the products than Porto’s in LA. Thats the key for what truly adds to the experience, because that the owners are all extremely passionate, and put a lot of care into the product. They’re here themselves in the bakery / kitchen, quality checking everything. On top of that, all the items are fairly priced, made in house and super fresh. I spoke to some other people from the east coast who also agreed this spot is legit. I’ll hundred percent be back here to try the guava and cheese pastry and other items. The cafecito tasted exactly like the corner shops in Miami too. What a gift to have this lovely Cuban bakery in SF. It was the only thing that was missing in the city, and we are lucky that we got a good one!

Delicious pastelitos and Cuban coffee! Great prices and great service too! Thank you for bringing back wonderful memories of Miami for me! I was only in town for a wedding, but discovered this cafe on Google. I believe I talked to the owner when I was there. So nice and friendly! It was fun to briefly share stories. I never really drink coffee, but enjoyed my cortadito. My husband and I shared the Cuban sandwich which brought back so many memories. The guava y queso is my favorite! The mango was so good too! I also ordered the OG meat pastry for my husband to try as well, and I was given a complimentary croqueta to try along with my order (thank you again)! Soooo goood! Sadly, I only have two photos lol it was too delicious 😉 The only tricky part was parking. My husband dropped me off and did a few loops lol but that's the city I guess. Honestly, these were better quality pastelitos and croquetas than the ones I had most recently in Miami! Maybe because I went to calle ocho. But I even tried another place, and no bueno. Social Cafe is the real deal! If I'm ever back in the area, I'm definitely visiting again 😊 Dale!

TLDR: very fair prices for good food! I came in and ordered two pastries that were a little on the smaller side but they were only $4.50 for both!! I got the meat pastry and the flavor was good, though a teeny bit dry. The guava and cheese sweet pastry was awesome and I loved it! The prices are super fair for being in San Francisco, great choice especially if you’re here for jury duty at 850 Bryant
