Stanza Coffee Bar
1673 Haight St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“Stanza is a no-frills espresso bar where the real magic happens in the kitchen—their made-to-order breakfast burritos and sandwiches are genuinely creative, with combinations like chorizo black bean or veggie sausage with avocado and salsa that keep people coming back. It's a solid spot to camp out with your laptop and a well-pulled shot of espresso or creamy matcha latte, though you might encounter a wait during peak hours and the vibe can skew chatty and loud.”

Off the menu: Veggie sausage, avocado, salsa, green onions, potatoes and diced tomatoes. So good #2 Chorizo Black Bean Burrito, magnificent. Enjoy
Got an iced matcha latte & chicken arugula sandwich - stayed for around an hour to do work! Decent place to sit down and work although it can be a bit loud sometimes. Service is a bit on the slower side but there’s not many people working there & the quality of food is good. My chicken sandwich was really really delicious! Couldn’t tell but first bite made it taste like it was on garlic bread. The bread on the sandwich was great. However, I probably wouldn’t recommend the matcha latte. It was quite a bit powdery & there was nothing in it to make it sweet. A bit on the more expensive side for cafe food.
The workers are insanely rude. Their response to me while laughing at me was: “You probably just didn’t like it” when all I asked kindly was “Hi is it possible to switch my drink out I didn’t really like it. It was watery to me” There’s a million other ways to be nice. Try “I’m sorry it’s against our policy / Sorry you experienced that we can’t” instead of staring at us blankly and laughing :) Don’t order their chai or let alone support rude owners.
Really underrated cafe! Really good coffee and some pretty wild breakfast sandwiches options at a decent price!
Great causal, breakfast burritos and sandwiches. Nothing too fancy - but everything made to order, so it’s fresh and well worth the price. There can be a wait sometimes. I was debating getting a breakfast burrito from Whole Foods, but for the same price, you get a larger and fresher burrito here. Would recommend if you want something nice and simple. Had the breakfast sandwich (eggs, cheese, bacon, avocado on a fluffy brioche)
