Fiore Caffè

Delicious food, personal service, cute location, quiet vibe, did I mention delicious food??? Two visits so far:
Breakfast:
Had the tortilla española and remember it being perfectly gooey and really tasty.
Dinner:
A couple great veggie options (gnocchi mushroom cream sauce dish still has me in a daze!) and the rest of the menu was so tempting I’ll definitely go back for more. The rice ball was excellent and can’t wait to try their crostini selection!
Note: Not as great if you want kosher options, as many dishes had pork or prawns or a combo. (You can still find good dishes but far fewer choices.)

I love this place. This was my second visit — the time before was 6 months ago. I don’t know why I didn’t write a review then.
Like I said — I LOVE THIS PLACE! I yell because it is that good!
Cute, quaint homey feeling. Seriously Fiore Caffe feels like a good friends home.
My husband and I met the same friend we saw 6 months ago in this very same spot — same table as well :) We all had a great time. Service is awesome and the food is so super yummy.
Thanks Fiore Caffe for being the perfect place to meet and old friend.

Great little spot. Really enjoyed hot authentic it felt inside. Both the host and waitress had heavy Italian accents.
We ordered the Capellini and Tagliata — both delicious. Meat was cooked perfectly. We paired our meal with a bottle of the Pino Grigio and that was good too. Cold and crisp.
Def coming back.

Came here for dinner & it was kind of amazing how «meh» the food was for San Francisco. Brussels sprouts were soggy, for example, and Brussels sprouts are not heard to cook. But this place has such a nice vibe that I can see why it’s packed most of the time. Would come here for a drink more than anything else.

My wife, baby boy and I recently stopped in on our trip to SF. It’s a cute little corner café with a nice buzz early in the morning.
A fresh and healthier lean on their menu. Although I ended up picking one of their more unhealthy items. An amazing eggs Benedict with bacon and country potatoes on the side. Also came with a fresh green salad and a light vinaigrette.
Coffee was delicious and service was great. If we’re ever in the area again, we will definitely stop in.

I stopped by with a friend for a Sunday brunch during the noon primetime hour. I remember coming here for the espresso a couple years back and see they’ve expanded to full service offerings. Fiore is a great little café to get away from the obnoxiousness of the weekend brunch scene. No wait for a table, tucked away in a quieter corner on Guerrero but close to central Mission. The atmosphere is casual, open and airy. 5 stars for ambiance and service, 3 stars for the food. Service was good, she checked in with us a few times and refilled water.
Three Egg Omelette — Pretty standard, good fluffy texture. Side salad was your typical mixed greens as well. Good light dressing though
Iced Coffee — mild, not strong, not much flavor
Price point is decent for SF brunch and I’d be open to trying dinner here. I’d come again for the atmosphere since it’s such a great cozy place to catch up with a friend for brunch, but not worth making a trip for the food.

Exactly what we were looking for on an early Sunday morning. Great meal and quick service. Highly recommend their fresh squeezed OJ and loved their 3 egg omelettes (mine was egg whites and was delicious)! Only downside was no wifi… But will be back for a croissant tomorrow to go!

We had lovely brunch at this sunny little café. The staff were friendly and the food was great. Most of us got some form of dressed up scrambled eggs. The breakfast potatoes were especially good — my potatoes were coveted by those who did not have the good sense to order their own.

Underwhelming. After reading other Unilocal reviews seemed like this was going to be a simple but good place for a weekend brunch.
I was happy that this was a cozy little spot and easy to book the day of. The coffee was normal and the food was just meh. We got the croissant sandwich and eggs Benedict. The sandwich was pretty average. And the eggs Benedict was also average AND had half an egg shell in the poached egg! Why I’m giving it 3 stars is because it’s not bad, not like there was anything wrong with it and the service was good.
I guess if you’re in the area and can’t find a place to go since weekend brunch reservations at good places are so hard to find, you can come here. Otherwise, I wouldn’t recommend it.

We had a group of 9 and decided to come here because it was one of the only brunch places that took reservations. We weren’t down to wait several hours for a seat. From the photos, the place looked really small, which is not uncommon for SF restaurants. But when we got there, they gave us a long table in the back and it accommodated all of us comfortably.
We got 2 caraffes of mimosas to start (6 servings each to be exact). The orange juice was freshly squeezed, which usually I’m not picky with mimosas, but when you’re paying by caraffe and it’s not unlimited, then it makes all the difference in the world. I happily sipped and enjoyed this slowly throughout the meal.
The majority of us ordered the eggs benedict. We had the option of getting one with salmon and one with prosciutto, which most of us opted for. Both were equally good. Portions were huge, English muffins toasted perfectly, eggs runny, side salad nicely dressed, and potatoes a must (as I say in all my breakfast reviews).
Our waitress was fast and attentive. We had to be somewhere else later that day and was worried brunch would take a long time, but they got us out of there in under an hour and a half! And that’s with some of us ordering dessert as well.

I’ve only gone here for breakfasts, but it’s always awesome! Excellent service, portions and taste. Breakfasts include some nice side salad and spiced potatoes. I recommend the eggs benedict with smoked salmon.

We came here for Valentine’s Day and it was perfect. The people are all so friendly! Great service! Cute and romantic restaurant for Valentine’s Day. Great prices. We ordered appetizer then the pasta was amazing. Gnocchi and the special — heart shaped ravioli. Bottle of wine and amazing desert. Thank you for a great evening. Highly recommend. We will be back!

Horrible owner, bad customer service. Yes the reviews about «the rude man» that’s probably him, and reviews about bad service are true. Not surprised to read some people had the exact same feeling I did!
I chatted with him the first time I was there, he’s from Spain. He complained about people staying there too long, people with laptops, everything in SF is expensive, investing so much money on his business, etc. I found his complains to be understandable, but the day I bought just a cup of coffee (no laptop, never did that, I usually buy just coffee with a pastry, occasionally a sandwich) he had such an attitude.
I then realized he was having an attitude with me, but was behaving «extremely» different with other people, it seems because they were ordering a lot. I mean the guy almost became like a little humble cat desperate to sit them, maybe put a red carpet.
I swore never to step there again, I do not supports fellow immigrants who are rude, and so «nit picky» about what «type» of clientele they assist, or become humble only towards people because of how much they buy, or how it will make their place «look».

Really should not serve Early Grey Tea in a water glass

Came here for breakfast earlier today and honestly we were disappointed. This is one of the few instances when Unilocal rating is incorrect. The staff was unorganized, no one really knows what was going on or how to be a proper waitstaff. Hot tea was served in a glass tumbler, which irked me like no other being a tea lover. The baguette the fish sandwich was served on was rock hard. «Fresh fruit» is nothing else but sliced pears. My husband’s spinach omelet was «so so» in his own words, so it gotta be pretty bad. No one checked on us once during our meals. The reasons I gave this place two stars: no wait and my girlfriend’s decent, although overpriced, piece of grapefruit cake.

this is basically our go-​to breakfast place. i have the croissant breakfast sandwich, although i always order it with a milder cheese than gruyère. but that’s probably just me, i’m not into stinky cheese, which they have. my girl gets the scrambled eggs with stuff in them which is fine. they give you potatoes and a nice salad. coffee is good, juice is fresh-​squeezed. vibe is mellow and neighborghoody.

The service was very slow and to the point where I had to get up to get the check after we had been sitting at an empty table with no drinks either for over 15 minutes.
The food however was really good! I had the salmon Benedict.
I almost rated 4 stars just on the food alone but then I remembered how long I waited.

The rudest man ever behind the counter!!!
Maybe he was having a bad day? Was I wrong to walk to counter to order coffee? Then I was told I couldn’t sit at a table because THAT particular table was reserved. Where was the reserved signage?
If this is suppose to be a assigned sitting only, then I should have been greeted at the door and taken to a table. I am never coming here again.
I am a native. I went to high school across the street 40 years ago. I hate how the Mission is changing!

This restaurant is a neighborhood hidden gem! This is one of my go-​to places for brunch since they take reservations and it’s nearly impossible to go anywhere else without a wait for weekend brunch in SF. The food and service are both excellent. One of my favorite dishes is the 3 egg omelet. The ingredients are all very fresh. The ambiance is great here and most of the crowd are locals.

I’ll be coming back here for sure!
It’s a nice small restaurant. Relaxed atmosphere and very nice décor.
I was here for lunch on a weekday. I had the quiche of the day and liked not only the quiche but also the side salad and loved that it also comes with fresh fruit.
The menu has something for everyone. I’ll come back for dinner and update this review.
So far, it looks like this may be a new favorite!

A group of us converged for a catch up over brunch. We had booked and ten of us gathered around the long table at the front of the restaurant.
This place is quaint and has a relaxed feel. It has lots of natural light and just away from the ‘hustle and bustle’ of the Mission area. We arrived and all had been organised for our arrival.
The dishes were variable in their taste and flavour. To summarise they ranged from being average to good, with the 3 egg omelette being the most popular amongst us. This dish was good with a sensible portion size of omelette and pan roasted potatoes; interestingly my serving came with tossed lettuce when I thought I was getting onions, tomatoes and mozzarella. The Tuna salad was an average dish with it being unwhelming in taste and flavour.
The coffees were good, not the best but I would have again.
A nice place to visit perhaps lacking a little X factor to making it a memorable destination.

Just some questions: how would you feel if you were seated at a table and then, about 1 hour later as you were eating, were told that you only had 5 minutes left because an earlier group made a reservation? On top of that, served a glass cup that was chipped at the rim?
Food was whatever. Can easily find something better in SF with better service. Café was cute though! Pity.

Really cute little café, perfect for a leisurely Sunday brunch. Not too crowded as it’s tucked a few blocks away from the busy parts of the Mission. (Not sure what it’s like on Saturdays, so may be best to make a reservation, which is easy to do online.) Authentic European feel as the staff and owner are European as well.
My friends and I ordered the: steak and eggs, spinach omelette, fish sandwich, and tomato soup. Everything looked great and tasted it too. Prices are also reasonable.
Definitely worth returning to try some of their other items.

We came for Saturday brunch and made reservations ahead of time. When we arrived the table was ready for us.
I ordered the 3 egg omelette with vegetables because I was looking for something filling and not too expensive. My girlfriend ordered the egg benedict with salmon and prosciutto. She thought it tasted fine although the portion size was a bit small.
The place wasn’t too busy, so they didn’t rush us after we had finished eating. Got to spend some quality time catching up with friends.

Cute brunch spot offering al fresco seating (wish it faced the sun in the morning) with a small selection of simple but well executed brunch foods. And better yet, at 10:30am on a beautiful Saturday morning there was no line.
The breakfast sandwich ($ 11) was especially delicious because the croissant was so fresh and flaky — I couldn’t stop eating it! The bacon was not bad and if anything I wish there was just more meat.
I liked my almond milk cappuccino, it was nice and creamy, but nothing on par with Ritual, Grand or Coffee Bar which are my go-to’s.

This review is for weekend brunch.
This is a cute little neighborhood place that we selected for brunch with my in-​laws because it was close by and we could make a reservation online. It was light and friendly, great atmosphere for a sunny day. They had a better-​than-​average selection of vegetarian items, and our group got frittata, quiche, an omelette, and eggs Benedict. Everything was tasty but not spectacular, but the friendly service and nice atmosphere brought it up to 4 stars. It’s also on a corner that’s a nice distance from the busy foot traffic of either Valencia/​Mission or 24^th St. further to the west or east. The iced tea was also particularly delicious! And the Meyer lemon bars we got for dessert were WONDERFUL. The only negative was that they only had Tabasco as far as hot sauce — I know that’s important to some people when having eggs! It’s a great little place and now I’m sorry I hadn’t tried it sooner.

I really wanted to give this place 4 or 5 stars, but I just wasn’t that impressed with the food! The space is cute and cozy, the service is attentive and efficient, but the dishes are just so-​so.
Our group of 3 came here for dinner and shared the burrata special and 4 types of crostini — everything was okay, but nothing was a standout. Similarly, my main, a pasta dish with broccoli rabe and tomatoes was not very flavorful, and it was also too oily. The tiramisu we shared for dessert was also just ok.
A lovely spot that I wanted to love, but couldn’t.

Stopped in here with the whole famdamnily on a Friday for late lunch when we, all of whom are inseparable from our mobile devices, failed to notice that our first choice didn’t open until 5 PM. There were seven of us and only one table that would accommodate, and as it was occupied by two (plenty of other tables open) we looked around in a plaintive way until the nice ladies got up and offered to switch. Given it was about 2:30 I took it as a good sign that we had trouble finding a place to sit.
The menu is limited to a few entrees, sandwiches, salads, some desserts and a decent selection of wines on the chalkboard. Prices are modest and overall the food of good quality. I had the sweet Italian sausage sandwich on baguette, came with a side salad, simple but good. Sis had the spinach and cheese ravioli with vodkas sauce, she said they tasted fresh and sauce was nice. I tried the zucchini soup, again nice your typical chicken stock and cream based veggie offering. Grandpa’s new squeeze had the grilled eggplant panini and it looked pretty decent, she said it was indeed. Portions were adequate but not overwhelming, and they must of been about right as nobody ordered dessert.
A nice lunch spot if you are in the neighborhood but I won’t BART over there with it as my ultimate destination.

We went for a stroll down Guerrero for brunch and ended up at Fiore Café sitting right at the corner of 24^th. It’s a charming little sunlit café, lots of bright light bursting through the broad windows and bouncing of the modern décor.
It’s a full service café, offering brunch, lunch and dinner menus with an Italian twist. They also have a wine menu with a range of Italian wines in every form: sparkling, white and red.
Service was incredibly warm and friendly. They screwed up an entrée and fixed it in minutes without issue. We felt very welcome there.
So why 3 stars? The food just fell very short of a 4 star place in the Mission. We had the salmon scramble with sweet red peppers and mozzarella and the spinach scramble with caramelized onions and mozzarella. Both tasted average, something anyone could have made.
I’m sure this is a fine place for the folks living right there on the block but we won’t be going out of our way to come back, but I wish them luck because they were such a nice a set of hosts.
