 1. San Francisco Soup Company

50 Fremont St
San Francisco, CA 94105
(415) 904-7660

Category: Soup

Neighbourhood: SOMA

4.0 star rating
  12/14/2011

While it's a chain, this is one of the better places to eat lunch in the immediate vicinity.   The soups varieties are a bit hit or miss... I don't really care for their signature / standard soups, but the featured specials are usually pretty good.…More »

This is one of our favorite lunch delivery / take-out spots for work.  The food is OK, somewhat spicy, and the takeout portions are fairly large.  They do not charge separately for rice like so many restaurants here do.  You definitely have to plan…More »

Primo's incredibly cheerful decor and atmosphere makes it a perfect lunch spot on a nice day -- in fact, I even enjoy eating in the covered "patio" dining room during rainy days.  There's something about the brightly colored and eclectically…More »

I haven't been here in a while, I no longer work nearby and it's a little too far to get there and back during my lunch hour.  Once in a while I make the trek even though it means eating my burrito as I walk back up 2nd Street. :D

Very, very tasty…More »

  12/23/2011

I used to eat here very frequently for lunch; now that I no longer work in the area, I still make it a point to venture out to South Beach once in a while to eat at the cafe.   It's a charming little place, very comfortable and inviting.  It is not…More »

5.0 star rating
  1/24/2012

I went here a couple of months ago with a friend, and I was really presently surprised.  As it it located in Yerba Buena Center, I expected it to be a tourist trap with poor quality food, and I picked it mostly because it was a short walk away and…More »

Neighbourhood: Outer Richmond

3.0 star rating
  1/27/2012

I go here a LOT, but only because it's close, fast, and convenient.  Nothing special.  The super  burritos are quite large (like, as big as my forearm), but most of the other items on the menu seem like fairly poor value given the number of other…More »

3.0 star rating

Everything I've eaten here has been quite okay - not great, but very edible.  The burger and sandwich portions are pretty generous, and they prepare orders quickly, making it a good spot to grab a quick lunch or take-out.  It can get a little busy in…More »

Not much to say about this one... burgers are prepared to order, meat tastes fresh, a good assortment of condiments to add.   Service is quite quick despite being prepared to order.  Not my favorite burger place but a good stop in this neighborhood.

I'm surprised by the poor reviews.  This is very close to my work, so I eat here pretty often, and have had many, many opportunities to sample the food and service.  I've never had poor service here (though some of the cashiers are a little flaky /…More »

So, I tried this place for lunch recently, after having tried the Beverly Hills location with a friend.  I like the concept of building a custom sushi roll, and I think, for the size of the store, they have a good variety of options.  I love that…More »

5.0 star rating
  2/23/2012

I feel an awful dbag reviewing a Starbucks, of all places, and even more so for giving it a 5 star rating, but I feel the need to point out how amazing the staff is at this particular store.  This place gets *really* busy on week day mornings, but…More »

Very cozy atmosphere.  There's a nice little bookshop inside and lots of tables at which to read and enjoy some coffee.   The coffee is quite good, and they give free refills!  Given the size of the cafe, they have a pretty good selection of food…More »
