I need a quick lunch while being in town for work. The chicken salad sandwich was so delicious, as was the lovely hot leek and potato soup. Quick service and warm atmosphere.

Small neighborhood cafe with simple and tasty dishes. Popular with locals from the neighborhood.Vegetarian options: If you want something quick and good to eat, then this would be an ideal spot. The other fact is they close are only open from 8 to 3 so you either should call your order ahead before they close.

Plastic, plastic, plastic. Everything is single use plastic, including for eating in. Please change.

We came by during the Golden Streets bicycle and running event taking place in South Pas on Mission. The area was very busy with many bicyclists wanting to grab a bite to eat after the event. We ordered the pricey breakfast burrito and it was very good but the hot salsa lacked a spicy bite. It's a nice cafe with sidewalk area seating. I'm glad to see more small restaurants opening up in this area of Mission street.

Just devoured half of the Marketplace panini, and can confirm it's absolutely delicious. The chicken is roasty-tasting, juicy, and so flavorful. Reminds me of one of the best chicken sandwiches I had in Marseille. I balked at the sticker price but decided to give it a shot. It was 100% worth it! Grab one of these sandwiches, head to Garfield Park, and enjoy an easy afternoon.

Went with a friend for a light brunch. Coffee drinks & food choices were delicious - sidewalk table on a nice day - wow! A relaxing leisure experience.

I've been eating here for years, and the food has always been great. However as of late their menu has become even more expensive and the quality of portions seems off. I ordered a breakfast burrito recently and was surprised that since they changed their online ordering system, the burrito no longer has bacon included. You have to add bacon which is an additional $5.20 on top of the already $15 burrito. My fault for not selecting that I'll admit (I had take out and didn't realize until I got home) but all of the other ingredients in the burrito seem nearly missing. There was hardly any peppers and onions or cheese, and I think I had like two tater tots. I feel silly for complaining about this but I genuinely love this place, and since their price hikes I feel a lot less inclined to spend so much whilst getting so little. $40 bucks for two meatless weak breakfast burrito's and an OJ. Attached is a photo of my burrito which was essentially a block of scrambled eggs with a few small pieces of green pepper tossed in. YUM.

Very popular cafe with the locals but the menu is somewhat limited and pricey. Ordered a couple of time through ubereat and thought the food was just okay. Portions were reasonable. Sandwiches plus salads and chips - nothing out of the ordinary. But friendly service and a safe option for those who aren't adventurous eaters.

SHRINKFLATION ALERT - as popularized in the 80s TV commercial, I’m wondering WHERES THE BEEF or, today, the chicken in my marketplace salad. For $18, to receive a scant 5 small pieces of diced chicken is an abomination. The owner should be ashamed of herself for being so chincey. I used to enjoy walking here for lunch, sadly, no more.

My visit to San Marino Cafe & Marketplace was a letdown. The overpriced & underwhelming sandwich, the tasteless soup, and the deceptive menu left me feeling unsatisfied and disappointed. Food Presentation: The sandwich was served wrapped up in paper, no plates. The soup came in a paper cup with a plastic spoon. The overall sandwich and soup combo came out to be a whopping $31, and was very underwhelming.Service: The only service is when they drop off your food wrapped in paper to your table and that's it. They don't check in or say anything. $21 Sandwich: They advertised their Marketplace Panini as "Top 100 in California!" But it tasted just average and was overpriced, like a baguette sandwich you can get at Panera bread but 2x more expensive. In addition, the menu board advertised all their sandwiches served with a house salad by default. However, once you pay $4 extra to add a soup, they take away the salad and replace it with a mild lentil soup. That's considered a substitution, not an addition as the menu states. Overall, the San Marino Café is Located in a pleasant and pretty neighborhood. Food wise, their sandwich and soup are not worth the high prices.
