Food: The meat lasagna is pretty hearty here and great with salad and bread. The yogurt parfaits are one of my favorite breakfasts for the choices Ive got in the area, but youll need to get there early because they run out fast. They make the best iced mocha around here, other than Philz Coffee, because they use a dark chocolate powder rather than syrup. Decor: Typical cafe, lots of people meeting up, watching soccer or working from home. Service: Great baristas who are efficient and personable. I like that they accept transactions under $5 on a debit card.

A great local place. Comfortable. No wifi is a plus. Best coffee in town. The original Trieste in North Beach goes back to the beatnik days of Jack Kerouac and Allan Ginsberg. Its still run by the same family. A good place for a cup to go, or to sit down for a while by yourself or with friends. Theres often live jazz or Italian opera singing in the evenings and at weekends.

Nice selection of salads, but all the food is a bit on the pricey side for a cafe. The service is spotty, some of the staff are clearly not happy in thier work. There is often live music and invariably the music is quite good. Had lunch here today, 4/22/17, the place is filthy.

Yes sure, the real action is in North Beach. Lucky to have this spot in the neighborhood though. Not just saying that because of the Dianas pastry or the good folks on both sides of the counter. This is the best first-wave cafe. Period.

and having only a coffe, you have to support the scornfull look of one of the waiter (always the same). thats a café I really like, but I wont back! Please note that if you come to this café to drink only a café, youre not welcome!

This cafe is unpredictable depending on when you come. Sometimes it can be good and other time bad. Coffee is always consistent, but the small bites are a hit or miss. Best to see it replenish and go grab it before sold out.

I had the latte, my daughter had a steamed milk with light flavor. The seats outside were nice because we could watch our bikes while enjoying our morning drinks. The prices are decent and the drink sizes are ideal.

My local favorite. Excellent coffee, food, beer, and live music some evenings. But the prize goes to the staff. My beverage order is often started before I get to the register. They really get to know the clientele.

I came here one afternoon after class to study. I ordered a chai latte and a slice of cheese cake. The cake was delicious! Not too heavy and the crust had just the right crunch. The chai was also very tasty.

I like the fact that the whip cream does not come from a can. Its the real stuff. Along with all of their food, it is nice to know its made with care. Thanks guys.

Wonderful neighborhood staple that serves traditional cafe options as well as a few more substantial plates. Great windows and live music in the evening.

Pretty good outpost of Caffe Trieste. An above-average coffee house, but without the ambiance of the original one in North Beach.

Decent coffee, amazing pasties, fun live bands and a chill wait staff. Recommend Caffe Trieste if you want to get work done

They have great coffee and fantastic atmosphere...even music sometimes. However, no WiFi makes it less-than-perfect for me

Service is always terrible here. My advice to owners: fire all staff and sell the business
