Poesia Cafe

Nice Italian bakery. Better than many Italian places in North Beach. I had the cappuccino and the Muffin Coffee Pecan Praline. Both were great but the muffin lacked the coffee taste! Great atmosphere and nice service!

Yummy Italian-style cafe and bakery serving a wide variety of viennoiserie , cookies, cupcakes, pies and cakes. Perfect to enjoy with espresso or coffee. Ready-to-go Italian sandwiches served on housemade focaccia are solid. A simple Mortadella with Sun-dried Tomato, yum. A constantly revolving soup of the day as well as breakfast items make for a full-service cafe, with options for anybody. Sun-filled outdoor seating great for people watching in Castro.

Absolutely delicious! The burrata bruschetta was fresh and flavorful, the croissant perfectly flaky, and the pistachio biscuit was a standout!

Okay so I went to Poesía Cafe with the intention of only getting breakfast there. I had seen on Yelp the beautiful sandwiches and coffees that other folks had shown and I wanted to check it out. As I entered the individual behind the cash register greeted me with a big smile and welcomed me to the store. He asked me if I needed any help in selecting any items considering I had told him it was my first time there. I ended up getting two pastries and a breakfast croissant which were both delicious. I'm not going to lie I like the service that I received, the tastiness of the food, and the colorful atmosphere that I decided to go back for lunch. I ended up getting a Caprice style sandwich which was delicious. And I ordered another two pastries so that I could take home with me. Both time

Great place for a coffee sandwich or pastry. Great service. Easy to walk past so keep your eye open.
