Samovar Tea Lounge

Janie Liu: Love it! The service is top notch and the tea is impeccable =) A lil pricey but worth it. Definitely a good place to sit down and chat with some frens. Will go back again.

Oasis Cafe

Julia Gleason: Any place that serves beer on tap for $2.50 is an automatic four stars in my book! Although, funnily enough I didn't have beer last night. I had their hot chocolate which was rich and creamy, a delightful treat. Oasis Cafe is a new little joint on Divisadero with a pretty darn good space. There's lots of seating and a big flat screen to watch sports or whatever else is going on. They serve a variety of things: fresh squeezed juice, sandwiches, beer and wine, coffee, and pastries to name a few. They're open late too so if you want a place to grab a few cheap beers with some friends this would be a great spot.

Mango's Cafe

Julia Gleason: I've been passing by Mango's Cafe for almost a year now on a daily basis and have never ventured in. After a long day of marching in the Pride Parade, the BF and I wanted some hearty sandwiches. We decided to give Mango's a go which, seeing as how it was our first time, was a tad on the risky side; we were famished and had no idea whether we'd like it or not! We're both happy that we chanced it because our sandwiches were fantastic. I ordered the California Chicken Panini. The bread was delicious, crunchy on the outside and soft as I bit through. It was filled with plump white chicken breast, fontina cheese, bacon and a pepper sauce. I was so pleased with it that I ate the whole thing (I typically only eat half of anything I order - I have a small tum!). I'm looking forward to coming back here one morning and ordering something from their espresso bar.

Angel Cafe

Julia Gleason: Angel Cafe is my favorite neighborhood breakfast and coffee joint. I live just down the street so I frequently pop in for their breakfast sandwich and cafe ole'. Their bagel sandies are the best in SF (or at least that I've come across thus far) and their coffee is delicious. I typically get coffee with steamed milk but lately have been making my own at home because I've been drinking decaf. Today I tried their decaf ole' and it was delicious! Aside from Philz, I haven't had a decaf blend that tasty in a long time. It usually tastes burnt but with theirs I could barely taste the difference. The staff is super friendly, they make a point to know their regulars names and know their orders. Every time I walk by they wave. If you're in the hood or even if you're not (it's worth the bus ride) you definitely need to check Angel out.

It's Tops Coffee Shop

Julia Gleason: It's Tops is right around the corner from my boyfriend's apartment but since we don't stay there often, this was the first time I had been to this cozy little diner on Market Street. When I say cozy, I mean cozy...it's a small space with just a handful of booths and some stools at the bar. I was told they were known for their pancakes so of course, me being the pancake whore that I am, went for the blueberry. Actually, I went for the 49'er combo which included: potatoes, bacon, sausage, eggs and pancakes; my eyes are always bigger than my stomach. The cakes were definitely delicious but after eating at The Original Pancake House and Dotti's, which have the absolute best pancakes on the planet to-date (aside from my mother's), they just didn't measure up. My boyfriend ordered a side of hash for $5 but when it was arrived there was definitely not $5 worth of food on the plate. Other than that, though, everything was a-okay. I would definitely come back.
