Editorial Review for Dolores Park Cafe – by Nina Weinshenker

The Scene
Relax and read the paper or check out the cool black-and-white photographs on the sunny yellow walls. Big windows offer pretty views of the vast green expanse across the street. Many dog owners stop in here on their way to the park, so expect to step over at least a couple of pooches on your way in.

The Food
On a nice day, sit at an outside table underneath the shade of the big palm trees and sip an iced coffee, a smoothie or fresh-squeezed lemonade. Enjoy a tuna sandwich (albacore with lots of dill and onion and not too much mayo on whole-grain bread) paired with a big pile of crunchy potato chips, or perhaps a huge Greek salad or toasted "Thai bagel" with cucumber slices and peanut butter. On a cold day, sit in the sparklingly clean interior and snuggle up to a white-chocolate mochaccino.

My wife loves this place but really I do not see the appeal. There are way better places to go that here. Always loud and not enough seating.

I chose Dolores Park Cafe for a quick bite for lunch with a friend, and though the menu sounds simple and good, my Fresh Mozzarella sandwich was pretty bland and the Cafe Latte was warm. It's a good place to hang out and people watch, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're hungry and need something tasty to fulfill your cravings.

Pros: Atmosphere, location, view

Cons: Pricey bland food, warm coffee
