What we say
European-style cafe
This cafe is a well-known social hub of the Castro, located at key intersection of Church & Market, and a great place for coffee and people watching. The outdoor patio and sidewalk tables are the place to be on a sunny Castro day or rare balmy night. The kinda place where they boys compare bicep tats, and the girls show up on Harley's. In a less social mood? Find a nook and lose yourself in a book. It also houses a kitchen that churns out fresh daily specials and great light fare. Perfect for breakfast, lunch or light dinner as you search for the next wife or hubby.

From the smallest kitchen in the Castro comes some very good food, and the drinks on offer will appeal to all. Mellow vibe, sunny patio very welcoming, inside just as nice. Enjoy!

The food here has since improved with the arrival of new executive chef, Bronson, who is always introducing new items to the menu. The crowd that comes by for food, coffee, drinks, or just to meet up with friends; are definitely an assortment mix of the gay population of San Francisco. Favorite thing at Cafe Flore - $5 for two margarita's on Tuesday afternoon/evenings.

I have to admit they don't have the best coffee nor the best food or dessert. But I have to say I do love the location and the ambiance of this place. It's a great place to meet up with friends, dates and tricks...so I guess skipping coffee and dessert and just go straight to his apartment...LOL! Also, I highly recommend Friday nights for their groovy sounds! If you want to avoid crazy teeny-boopers at the Cafe and the snooty queens at the Lookout then check this place out!

Unbeatable location, beautiful outdoor area, nice ambiance/vibe... so what's missing? Good food. And good coffee. I admit it, though: I haven't had a coffee/latte/cap in a while at this joint, but it is precisely because the three or four times I did they were just dreadful. I'd say if you want coffee, just cross the street to Peet's.

You don't really come here for the food, but to hang out and meet up with friends or make new ones. The salads are good as is the coffee but the service isn't always the best. But come here anyway. This is the perennial meeting spot and they have events many evenings.
So, what do you say?
