Darwin Cafe - San Francisco

The salad here is delicious, with generous portions at reasonable prices! I highly recommend this as a lunch spot. Tips: You can add a side salad to your sandwiches. There are plenty more seating areas on the left side. The entrance isn't very obvious; it's located a bit past the dish drop-off area on the left.

What a charming little spot hidden away in a small alley! I arrived around noon and had to wait a bit to place my order. There are seats available both indoors and outdoors, plus a quaint bar area nearby. They serve both hot and cold sandwiches, each accompanied by a small salad. It's a great place to visit for a nice change of pace.

The sandwiches for lunch at this bustling café are excellent. Try to arrive just before noon to avoid the crowds.

Incredible sandwiches, baguettes, and salads for lunch. They have a new dining space that adds a lot more space, or take it to go. Just get there early or prepare to stand in line for a bit. But it's worth it! One of my favorite lunch spots in the neighborhood.

As I waited for my order, I took a moment to admire the cafe's charming and secretive ambiance. The walls were adorned with a bookcase and lush houseplants, and the menu was handwritten, adding a personal touch to the place. I settled outside with my iced tea, scrolling through my phone while I waited for my sandwich. When my order arrived, the sandwich looked tempting and was served quickly. The bread had a nice roast to it; though a less discerning eye might mistake it for burnt, I appreciated the texture. But after taking my first bite, I realized I was disappointed. The sandwich was at least an inch thick, piled high with turkey, but the cheese was barely melted, and the pears, turkey, and onions were cold rather than warmed through. I ended up dismantling the sandwich and eating just the bread, mixing the turkey, onions, and pears with the side salad that accompanied it. While the service was fantastic and the sandwich had potential, it unfortunately missed the mark. That’s why I’m giving this place a three-star rating.
