Bandit
632 20th St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“Bandit is a neighborhood gem in Dolores that's earned serious loyalty for its standout breakfast sandwiches and creative morning fare like their famously heavy Captain Crunch burrito, with staff who genuinely remember regulars' names and orders. The spot expertly straddles two moods—casual enough for a quick grab-and-go lunch or leisurely enough to settle in with a laptop, making it equally beloved by weekday workers and weekend explorers. Beyond the coffee, their tater tots and grilled chicken sandwich have inspired genuine devotion, with the kind of thoughtful execution (perfectly toasted bread, fresh fillings) that keeps people coming back weekly.”

Love this place! I eat here every week, and do not get tired of it. My go to is always the grilled chicken sandwich, and fries. Have also tried the captain crunch breakfast burrito and their tater tots - both fantastic! Lots of drink options and great coffee as well. Highly recommend this spot for a quick bite
This is my go-to lunch spot everyday I'm in the area for work! The staff has been amazing every time. They've taken the time to remember my name and order, which I genuinely appreciate! I heavily recommend this spot if you love a good burger and fries!
I accidentally bumped into this place in Dolores, SF last week for an impromptu lunch and honestly fell in love. I’m not really a sandwich person at all, but their sandwich had a real vibe. I went back again and ordered the Vegan Pork Sandwich for myself, a chicken sandwich (picture attached), and fish & chips for my mom. Everything was so good but the Vegan Pork Sandwich deserves a special mention. The bite, the flavor, the texture, the overall feel and everything was just spot on. What really stood out was Saba’s hospitality which was truly mesmerizing. When I gave him my honest, first-hand feedback, he offered me a soda on the house. Such a genuinely warm and hospitable person. For someone who isn’t really into sandwiches, Bandit has set the benchmark for me. Kudos to Team Bandit. Wishing them all the very best for the future.
Tater tots - 4/5 crunchy and fresh! Captain crunch breakfast burrito - 2/5 foodie friend said this is popular on TikTok but I think you can skip. Looks small for $17 but it is an extremely heavy dish, felt gross after. The crunch comes from tator tots, but it would have been more refreshing with greens. Friend says she would not go out of the way to get it, but would consider it as an option for sustenance Drip coffee - 3/5 okay coffee, would have preferred mug instead of paper cup Casual vibe, spacious, our group got here early for brunch around 11am, right across from Dolores park, good place to hangout and chat
Bandit serves one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve ever had! The bread is perfectly toasted—crispy on the outside, soft inside—and complements the fresh, flavorful fillings beautifully. Every bite is a delightful balance of texture and taste. A must-visit spot for anyone who appreciates a great breakfast done right!
