    the new brunch menu at Café Sebastian in downtown San Francisco and wowww Started with their almond butter toffee iced coffee. I’d come back just for that 😇 For starters, we had the truffle deviled eggs, spinach artichoke AND crab dip (whoa) , and a round of oysters. Main dishes we went with the tuna Niçoise salad and huevos rancheros And of course, the sweets: an insane stack of fluffy pancakes plus a scoop of their mango sorbet! dreams do come true yall 🥲 would you try this place?

    Newest aesthetic cafe in SF—Café Sebastian near the Transamerica Building! ✨☕️ From the cozy vibes to the market-driven menu by Chef Brad Kilgore, everything feels thoughtfully curated. We tried the Ricotta Toast with vanilla bean, strawberry preserve, and lemon pepper honey—such a perfect balance of flavors! And the Banana Bread? So moist and delicious. They also have solid coffee, tea, and full meals if you’re looking for something heartier. Definitely a new go-to spot for coffee dates or a chill weekend brunch! Who’s adding this to their SF cafe list? 👀 📍Cafe Sebastian | @cafe_sebastian_sf 🌉 San Francisco, CA #sfcafe #aestheticcafe #sanfranciscocafe #sffoodie #sfeats #sflunch #sfbrunch #sffidi #fidi #sfcoffee #coffeelovers #bayareaeats #bayareacoffee #sanfranciscofood #cafegoals #coffeetime #cafesebastian #sfdiscover #sfrestaurants #sffoodscene #cafehopping #cafedesign #sanfrancisco

    The Cafe was full, but the service was excellent. It was SF Restaurant Week and the Cafe had an excellent choice of entrees and desserts. I had the salad w green goddess dressing and a schnitzel chicken. The fresh herbs in the dressing, the goat cheese and Japanese radishes set the flavors apart from an ordinary chicken salad. Bravo to the pastry chef who made an excellent ginormous choc. chip cookie w brown butter and sea salt. I will definitely go back.

    Great gem in the newly renovated Transamerica Redwood Park of downtown San Francisco. We had a later lunch on a Friday and pretty much had the place to ourselves. Delicious food and great service! Highly recommend for lunch and we'll be checking out the sister restaurant AMA for dinner

    Fantastic lunch, perfect spot to take friends or clients. They definitely have a great selection of food options. I ordered the chicken Cesar wrap and it was the best I’ve ever had- DELICIOUS! Friend ordered beef tar tar toast and soup, she loved it. Love that they also serve Mexican coke! Will definitely be back.
