Nina's Cafe

I discovered this breakfast place only in one of my last days in San Francisco, unfortunately. After that, I have been there twice.
If you want a cheap and tasty breakfast, you should come to Nina’s cafe, Nina is also super friendly!
Will be my regular breakfast place next time I come to San Francisco.

Terrible breakfast burrito. More of a breakfast wrap, no salsa, jack cheese, avacado, nothing. Just some bright orange american cheese and some hot sauce. Saw it being made and asked if they could put some salsa or spicy cheese on there to make it more like a burrito I got a rude no.

I usually look inside as I pass by, on my way to eat somewhere else. Today I decided to give this corner spot a shot and I'm glad I did because their Pesto Chicken Sandwich is a winner. I wasn't expecting to be asked if I wanted jalapeños on it, but I was and I did and I enjoyed.

Came for a latte, got a latte. Asked for almond or soy milk and she reluctantly pulled a box from an unrefrigerated cabinet, shook it to make sure it wasn't empty, and agreed to use the milk substitute. Opened containers of soy milk should be refrigerated - I'll let you know how I feel later. She then wayyy over-steamed the soy milk, which I wouldn't mind to a certain extent but this was overkill. It is an almond latte, but for $5 I'd very much appreciate a latte done right.
Still up for trying their food and revisiting my review another day

So let's say you're in Berkeley, and the thought of yet another vegan tofu seitan "delight" on a baked-in-the-moonlight roll with sprouts served to you by a ponytail-waving middle-aged ex-stock broker leaves you cold, what do you do?
Hie on over to Nina's Café, where Nina her own self will charmingly proffer the usual café kit and kaboodle, along with truly satisfying alternatives like the chicken curit with rice and salad that I just enjoyed. Not spicy, but properly spiced.
Free WiFi; she'll hand you the login info upon request.
Sidewalk seating too. A must-repeat.

We ordered 3 bacon breakfast burritos, a veggie bagel, and a falafel wrap and 4 coffees! It was about $45 and really worth it because everywhere else was probably going to be 3x that price! All of my photos are half eaten because we were so hungry LOL. but it tasted soooo good! One thing to note is that there going to renovate and be closed for a month! Definitely eat here for a quick relatively cheap tasty breakfast! :)

Very rude "service," if you can even call it that. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but it looks like other people have experienced the same attitude.

I always forget about this place at lunch.... great sandwiches, fair prices, great customer service. This is the kind of hole in the wall I used to know SF for, what happened to all of them? No don't blame the techies, we all had some part in this - being the victim is harder the more you TRY

Make the extra effort to find Nina's Cafe"Deli" in the Four Fifty Nina's Cafe office building. Just bear right after entering. The sandwiches are freshly made by a very accommodating staff. And they were great. Also nice looking bakery items and lots of snacks. Plus breakfast all day. Great breakfast or lunch option near Union Square.

If you like stale bread, day-old pastries, crusty tuna salad, paying $10 for a reheated frozen burger from Costco, and microwaved "sausage" reminiscent of dog food, Nina's Cafe is for you.

Awesome home cooked breakfast burritos and Cesar wraps. And don't pass up on those sandwiches.

This place has been all over my Instagram feed for a while now, and since I've been living in NYC, I haven't been able to try it until now.
I went today with a friend, and luckily caught them right before they were about to close (Heads up - this place is a truck! Their hours are pretty reliable, though!) The guy working was super friendly and welcoming, which I always appreciate!
My friend and I both got the original acai bowl ($10.50 including acai, granola, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, shaved coconut, and honey), but it was so hard to choose what to get! They have 3 different acai bowl

Awesome value for the money, blows Subway out of the water with a similar menu. The sandwiches are large, fresh, and delicious. There is also a rotating selection of lunch-sized portions of lasagna, chicken salad, and other sides.
I highly recommend the mozzarella+tomato+basil sandwich which comes with a huge portion of mozzarella.

Nina's is a great place for breakfast or lunch and every Tuesday I treat myself to homemade Pupusas. I get the Zucchini with cheese, but they also have pork. Very reasonably priced and if you take a coffee break there you can watch the morning news.

This is a friendly little corner place in Hayes Valley. You'll find a very basic selection of breakfast items, sandwiches and coffee. They have a limited selection of rolls, bagels and drinks too. It's not a standout, and there wouldn't necessarily be a striking reason to seek it out. But, it's got a good vibe and it's never a quality let-down.

With an office at Hayes and Van Ness this place is close, but also a decent reason to mix it up when you want to be somewhere a little more quiet. It's amazing what two blocks can do in terms of a change of scenery in

LOVE this place!!!! It's a little corner shop run by 2 fantastic women!! They are ALWAYS friendly, kind, and responsive! Their food is always fresh and delicious. And the prices are AMAZING!!!! Today I got a bagel with cream cheese (breakfast) and my tunafish sandwich (lunch) for less than $10! They are FOREVER getting my business for lunches at work!!

Great sandwiches for $6-$7. Quick grab and go. No seating available. I loved the smoked turkey sandwich loaded with jalapeños on sour dough. In and out in 3 minutes during lunch time!

Rossi always provides great service. Her sandwiches are reasonably priced and better tasting than Subway.

Yo quiero Nina's.

(insert shame and guilt here)

Nina's version was my first since this overweight, no exercise/EDM time of my life.

She does a few things different. Pita bread instead of fried corn shells. Turkey instead of suspect beef. Hummus if you ask instead of artificial everything.

Few bites in realized she does it way, way better.

So good. And enough turkey spilling out to make another.

Good. Definitely wanted three.

Just what I needed - a quick bacon egg and cheese on my way to the airport. For $5.25, that's just what I got. What I loved most was that this woman actually cracked the eggs and whipped them up herself; no pouring out of a carton. Definitely recommending this to people in Hayes Valley who don't have the time (or money) for the other options in the area.

Brought my car in for smog check across the street. Good thing for this little corner sandwich shop. Had the $6.00 gigantic chicken salad sandwich in a Crunch Roll. Either I was hungry or this was a great sandwich or both. They make it so quick!

I really can't figure out why Nina's is actually in business or a business for that matter.

We live very very close to here. Went in a couple of times and personally I think it is a money laundering front or something seedy because the food is completely uninspired and the service is the same. It's not really a cafe even. They have a pile of corn dogs & not much else in the deli display and the coffee is just plain bad!

Nina gets an extra star for the use of their unsecured internet when ours goes on the fritzz.

This is a great local place to get an inexpensive lunch in a part of town that is charging by the arm and the leg these days. All i want is a simple sandwich and a bag of chips without having to shell out ten bucks. Rossie is a very nice and friendly person, ya sometimes need that in the morning or mid-day when getting bite to eat.

I usually get a bagel with egg, cheese and sausage, a bargain at 3 bucks or a turkey on Dutch crunch for lunch for about 4 bucks.

Nina's is a tiny little sandwich shop.. when you go in there, they're usually busy making lunches for some of the kids in school next door. They're friendly and make tasty sandwiches for a reasonable price.
