Cafe Flore (Closed Permanently)

A San Francisco MUST

Get a table outside with an umbrella on a sunny afternoon and watch gay life go by

great setting

you stand in line for upscale diner food, but this is one of the best places in the castro for hanging out in the very cool shed like cafe and the outdoor patio, perched in one of the best locations in the city, the corner of market and noe. great people watching, and on a sunny day sipping iced coffee on the patio or sidewalk tables it is nothing short of heavenly.

an institution in the Castro

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!

Decent Food, Very Inclusive Crowd

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.

Alternative Dating Place

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!
