This is a solo diner's paradise! You order at the counter, but you get restaurant-quality food. I find that the presence of the counter gives it a cafe vibe that makes it very easy to feel comfortable as a solo diner. The music was also very relaxing (specifically un-obnoxious saxophone covers of pop songs). The shakshuka was full of value not just from a flavor and freshness standpoint; you also get a great mix of carbs, fats, and protein in this dish, which I really appreciate as a solo diner. Oftentimes, you go out on your own and have trouble deciding what to order because many dishes are huge and either really carb-forward, fat-forward, or protein-forward, and often not super nutritious. This dish was really balanced, so I didn't feel like I needed to order multiple dishes. Environment: the dining area is very clean, not claustrophobic whatsoever. Beautifully but simply decorated! The service was very friendly, and they even gave me some baklava on the house, which was also tasty! I really appreciated this gesture. I cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu and pastries.

Everything about this place is worth trying, whether you're seeking sweet or savory, they will nail it. And the service is attentive and excellent!

Delicious French toast, pistachio latte. Everything was soooo good. Service was fantastic. Parking is a bit tricky. Plan on walking.

Hidden gem in pac heights. Was in the area as my hubby was in the hospital (cpmc) so stopped by initially to see what they had on the menu. I was intrigued by the Tanturi Sando so decided to give it a try. It was delicious and I especially liked the seasonings. Their baklava looked amazing so got one to go. OMG seriously the best I've ever had. I'm not sure but I'm betting they are made in house as most I've had or seen elsewhere didn't even come close. It was so good that I went back the next day and tried the quinoa salad, another winner. To top it off the server came over and gave me another order of baklava on the house! I would highly recommend this place and do not skip their baklava. Take it to go if necessary but do-not-skip it!! All in all the food and service are top notch. I will go back for sure (hopefully without a visit to cpmc)

Best breakfast Burrito in town. Not all the spots in the city gets it right, crispy bacon! Oh and also tried the french toast, it was well presentedand tasted delicious

Came on a Sunday for lunch and there was ample parking in front of the restaurant. Inside was not too busy. All the food options looked good, ended up getting the hummus plate and breakfast burrito. Both were delicious. Pistachio latte was good as well, I liked how it wasn't overly sweet and had a good nutty flavor to it. Service was great. I think the manager was sitting at the table next to us doing her work, she checked in periodically to make sure everything was okay. The ONLY improvement I would suggest is adding more pistachio-related items to the menu -- especially since it's in the name! Maybe like pistachio pancakes/waffles, pistachio salad, etc.

the coffee was so good!! I got a latte and usually I find they have way too much milk but this one was so strong in the best way! the food was also great

This is a peaceful, clean little cafe tucked on a busy street. Service is friendly, but perhaps because I arrived at 2:15pm and they close at 3p, I found staff was a little busy with closing duties and not as attentive as they probably are at other times. I ordered a BLT with added avocado (bringing the $15.50 sandwich up to $18.50), which was high in price but thankfully was prepared with fresh produce, crispy bacon, and came with a nice serving of delicious fries. They don't offer iced tea, which is my lunch go-to drink, so I bought a bottle of water before realizing they offer free self-service water :( When my food was ready, I saw it sit on the kitchen bar for awhile unnoticed, so I walked over to get it myself, but when staff saw me doing that, they apologized and gestured for me to sit back down and they'd bring it over. I also had to gently remind them that I'd ordered a bottle of water, which they then brought over to me as well. I think they were just distracted cleaning up. I appreciated that they didn't rush me out and said I could stay past closing if I needed more time to eat, but I was done by 2:45.... I would have relaxed there until 3p, but as I finished eating, one of the gentleman went outside to have a cigarette right near the door and the smoke drifted in and filled area where I was sitting. It probably wouldn't have bothered anyone else, but it was a bit unappealing to me. I think smokers are supposed to smoke 15' away from entrances in SF, surely because smoke easily drifts in as it did.

Pistacho Cafe is a nice addition to the food corridor on Franklin near Sutter Hospital. You order at the counter, then food is delivered to your table. Coffee is good, breakfast items are solid, and service is efficient. We sampled the Eggs Benedict, croissant egg sandwich, and breakfast burrito. All came with fried potatoes in a green sauce. Delicious. There was a nice crowd when we left about 9:30 on a Saturday morning. Try it, you'll like it.

A new bright cute restaurant in Cathedral Hill! They serve breakfast and lunch dishes. I wanted to try something new and opted for the Tantuni, a Turkish dish (the owner is from Turkey). The roll was pretty good! It's a decent size and quite filling with a good amount of meat. I rarely eat Turkish food, but I think the flavors were great. I only wish the fries were crispier and more seasoned. And maybe if the roll had a crunch to it. Overall, great spot. Service seems good too. Apparently they have a pistachio latte which I'd love to try.
