Crema's Take
“Their affogato—vanilla ice cream topped with a shot of espresso—is the perfect antidote to a foggy San Francisco afternoon, and the owner's genuine hospitality makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. The Irish soda bread pairs beautifully with their espresso, and the outdoor seating right by the zoo makes it an easy, low-pressure spot to linger with family or a friend. Go here if you want solid coffee and pastries served with actual warmth, not the performance of it.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Parking available.

Java Beach Café by the zoo is a hidden gem for families! It’s the perfect spot to grab a quick bite, enjoy a good coffee, or treat yourself to a pastry. The best part? It’s incredibly kid- and baby-friendly. They have plenty of high chairs, booster seats, and even a bathroom…
