Atlas Cafe, San Francisco, California Restaurant Details

Food:

I live across the street from here, and I've come here on and off, mostly for coffee. I've been there occasionally for live music at night, but I was under the assumption that they didn't have a liquor license. Well, it was apparently a mistake to ask on a sunday morning, because the woman at the cashier rudely answered that they did serve alcohol and then walked away, acting busy and completely ignoring me and my husband for the next five minutes. It was really awkward. Perhaps its my fault for expecting a "sorry, i have to take care of such and such", or something resembling politeness and friendliness. If they used to be cool, they're certainly pretentious now. Sightglass is much, much better. You want to go there! And, if you want food, there are lots of great places to eat at alternatively, but progressive grounds is probably the closest equivalent.

Food:

Food is great (I had the Cubano sandwich). There is plenty of seating, an outdoor patio and free wifi.

Food:

Try the Atlas Classic Tuna sandwich, you won't be disappointed. Many of the bagels and pizzas are equally tasty. So, how to have a great lunch or brunch is easy: Grab these items and sit right on down at a table in the outside portion where it is almost always sunny. Rinse and repeat. You're welcome.

Food:

The roast beef sandwich is really good. And there is a nice back patio area that is dog friendly.

Food:

Been here a few times. The food and coffee is good -- I really loved the beet salad. The ambiance is kind of meh -- every other minute the staff shout the order numbers that are ready at the top of their lungs. When they clean the dishes it's like they throw them from the tub into the sink as loudly as they can. Makes the environment kind of negative for me. Also, the wifi is super slow when it's busy.

Update: Downgraded to 2 stars since they don't update Google with their winter hours (so I showed up to find them closed). Come on!
