Editorial Review for Cafe Flore – by Stephanie Rosenbaum
The Scene
High wood-and-glass walls and tons of greenery screen this popular outdoor cafe from the nonstop traffic around a busy Castro intersection, but that hasn't stopped Cafe Flore from being jammed at all hours with the see-and-be-seen crowd. Perfect for sunny weekends, or anytime you feel fabulous enough for appreciative stares.
The Food
The front counter dispenses caffeine and a wide selection of cakes and pastries. However, if you need something a little more substantial, a tiny galley-sized kitchen off to the left offers a surprisingly comprehensive menu, from morning fare like eggs with potatoes and crunchy slabs of Acme levain toast to midday treats like a juicy, delicious Niman Ranch hamburger served on focaccia with house-made ketchup. A couple of pasta dishes, salads, sandwiches and specials like roast chicken or sauteed veggies over basmati rice round out the offerings.

The new copper top table tops that were recently added have made a beautiful transition into the holiday season. A very realistic fire place has warmed up the interior space wonderfully. The cafe changes with the seasons as every walk of life comes through it's rustic entry. The food is always delicious. The music has a nice flow of worldly and exotic rhythyms. Red umbrellas cover the side walk tables. Non pretentious serving style. Go up to the bar or kitchen window and order, find a table and a server will bring out the food. Every table has it's advantage point. The crowd represents every ethnicity and sexuality. I love it. There is some attitude but it would be boring without. A great place to write a novel or to fall in love. It's perfect! The Christmas decor looks great. Thanks for such a cool chill space. They now serve cocktails and I recommend a Mojito.
Pros: People watching, food, Mojitos, Ambience, Music,
Cons: I wish it would stay open later

This is my favorite cafe. Beautiful patio. They have hard liquor, too. Dog friendly. Food is good, too.
