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…

Favorite Cafe in Mission
by MMmikel at Citysearch
This is my favorite mission cafe. The hot chicken sandwich is amazing and super fresh. Fresh being the key word! Great mochas and amazing smoothies. I've so much on the menu but these are some of my fave. Fun staff sometimes! Owner always says hello when I walk through the door. Great location!

Not Bad
by markengwels at Citysearch
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.

Pricey food, but atmosphere good.
by eljim at Citysearch
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

Neighborhood Cafe in Mission
by redlamp32 at Citysearch
There's so many great things about the Mission, but having simple, cool neighborhood cafes is not one of them. But, Dolores Park Cafe is the salve to this ache. If you're looking for good, basic sandwich and salad fare, done with just enough care, go here. They also serve coffee drinks and other things you would expect in a sidewalk cafe. The prices are reasonable, given the quality of the food. The park is right across the way, if you want to grab something to go. Also, if you're a fan of cleanliness where you eat, this is a great spot.
- Pros: Food quality, Location, Super clean

NOT Faboo, for many reasons
by leslieontherun at Citysearch
I just have to respond to the review titled "Faboo." The reviewer mentions the personable owner and the dogs. Actually, the owner allows her own dog in the cafe but insists that everyone else's dogs remain tied up outside. And, the owner is anything but personable. She's a snob and rude, but the place is ok when she's not around. Plus, the food is way overpriced and not that great. It's a neighborhood hangout, that's all.
- Pros: nice location, sunny
- Cons: rude owner, $$ average food, no outlets for laptop
