Crema's Take
“Piccadilly Grace is a reliable neighborhood café where the sandwiches—especially the Balboa Italiano and pastrami—are genuinely worth the trip, and the specialty drinks like lavender lattes and chai offer enough variety to keep regulars coming back. The vibe is perfect for lingering over lunch or meeting a friend, though recent menu changes and new ownership mean the experience feels a bit leaner than it used to be. If you're in San Marino craving a quality sandwich and a well-made specialty drink in a comfortable setting, this is solid ground.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

The cafe has a new name and a new slim down menu. The portion of the Balboa Italiano sandwich is generous. The pastrami sandwich was delicious. Chai latte is a little too bland.
Still one of my favorite neighborhood cafes and have been coming back for years. I discovered this gem on a bike ride & it was love at first sight, then at first bite. The sandwiches and the lemonade are the showstoppers but everything is fabulous.
2024 Update: Service was friendly, and I still very much enjoyed my quiche and lavender latte. But the $25 marketplace panino was totally a ripoff… —————————————————————————- We came on a Sunday during lunch time, and it was already packed. Not gonna lie, that immediately…
