Crema's Take
“Cafe Mystique pulls off the rare trick of being equally good for a serious espresso martini and a full dinner—their cocktails are genuinely creative (pomegranate cocktail, anyone?) while the kitchen nails everything from shrimp pasta to perfectly crispy calamari. The sidewalk seating is prime real estate for people-watching in this part of San Francisco, and the service stays warm and attentive even when packed. If you want a spot that's equally at home as a pre-show dinner destination or a chill evening hangout, this checks every box.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.
