Cheminé
3030 Fillmore St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“Nestled on Fillmore Street, Cheminé is a warm family-run cafe where thoughtfully crafted drinks like their signature gingerbread matcha and creative seasonal cocktails pair beautifully with house-made pastries and remarkably flavorful salads—their marinated chicken and baklava cheesecake are particularly worth seeking out. The space invites you to linger over a slow sit, whether you're meeting a friend or enjoying a full breakfast, all while feeling the genuine care that comes from a multigenerational kitchen that treats every plate like a labor of love.”

What an incredible find! I stopped in while shopping on Fillmore St. Everything was beautiful and the food was delicious! I highly recommend the burrata peach salad, and the spinach and feta borek. Everything is so fresh and homemade tasting. The staff is friendly and delightful.
Get the baklava cheesecake! Its soo yummy and homemade by the mother. I got a peppermint mocha & gingerbread matcha which was perfect for the winter afternoon. I was surprised by how much space there is and excited to see this spot grow. The service was amazing, you can tell they care for each customer and want to make sure they’re satisfied with their order! I’ll definitely be coming back
The food was so good! My peach salad was amazing. It’s nice that it’s a family business. The drinks are also very pretty. I will say though that the service was nonexistent, you had to get up from where you sat in the back of the place to get your food.
The chicken in the California Salad is literally the best chicken I've ever tasted in my life. Juicy, flavorful, tender. They told me they have a secret ingredient...ask them what it is! The mom is making everything (amazing recipes) and the son is at the front - so friendly and kind! We had 3 desserts - the Baklava Cheesecake, the Pomegrante San Sebastián, and the Tiramisu Brownie. All the desserts are beautifully presented and taste so good. The interior is super aesthetic. The entrance is really sunny. Lovely European vibes (or Turkish rather) 😉!
Honestly these are the best salads I’ve had in a long time. I came with my friend who said the chicken in her California Salad is the best she’s ever had. Apparently they marinate it in pomegranate to give it amazing flavor and tenderness. My salmon salad’s was so refreshing with a great balance of flavor. It honestly was so satisfying. And don’t get me started on the cheesecakes. The pomegranate cheesecake is TDF. 10/10 all the way.
