Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Absolute find!!! This cafe is one of a kind. Located just off the busy freeway overpass, it’s a small rambler style house converted into a cafe. The menu is simple and fresh and offer a number of drink and food options including pastries, bakery items, small sandwiches and more. The variety is pretty large despite the size if the place and the quality of food resembles any cafe in a big city. Be warned, it’s popular among locals so the line sometimes wraps outside. Making an online order ahead of time if you’re in a rush might be a good idea. A must visit if you’re in the area!

Cafe de Casa in South San Francisco is a revelation. I’ll be honest, I almost cried during my meal. The flavors here have a profound way of transporting you back in time; it tasted exactly like the food my grandmother used to cook for me. It’s rare to find a kitchen that can replicate that specific, nostalgic "childhood memory" seasoning. The combination of the rice, beans, and perfectly sautéed onions on the steak is a masterclass in Brazilian comfort food. I am already planning my next visit. If you want a meal that feeds your spirit as much as your appetite, this is the spot.
