Velo Rouge Cafe - San Francisc

Beautiful, delicious and healthy food. Nice sitting space outdoors. Vegan salad and wrap were so delicious

Turns out this place is bicycle-friendly but not people friendly. I moved to the neighborhood almost two months ago. Instead of making coffee at home, I like to get a cup of coffee from either this place or Cinderella Cafe 3-4 days a week. I like these kinds of cafes, small businesses, and supporting them. Today, I came here for breakfast because I worked six days this week, and I thought I deserved a proper breakfast at a lovely place. I ordered Eggs Benedict, and it took some time for the server to understand me, which I totally get. I know it can be challenging because there are thousands of different accents out there. What I can’t understand are the reactions she showed me, saying “what, huh?” When she brought my food to the table, she literally threw the plate onto the table. If you think I’m lying, please check the cameras; it happened between 8:00 am and 8:20 am. What the heck did I do to deserve this service? I was going to ask her if they had free refills, but I didn’t even mention that. There was another table with a couple and a kid, and I saw how she served them—she wasn’t rude to them at all. Why me?? I’ve been wondering if I did something wrong or if there was a miscommunication that caused her behavior, or if that’s just how she is. I even tipped 20% before I saw her attitude. I worked in restaurants for six years, so I know how annoying some customers can be. That’s why I always treat servers with utmost respect. However, if you’re not happy or overwhelmed, I am not the person you should take it out on. I’m not coming back, obviously. I know it’s not really going to hurt the business since I only get coffee twice a week, but it’s a shame that such a beautiful place has staff who are incapable of reflecting that beauty.

Such a good local cafe ! Really love going here. Staff here is amazing and attentive : karla was great at servicing both times we were there . Request Need more vegan options .

Really nice spot with great service. iced latte was bitter and watery :

An absolutely charming cafe! The service was excellent, as was the food. Both their breakfast burrito (called the Leipheimer) and their classic diner-style two egg breakfast (the Arguello Breakfast) were excellent, as was the latte I had. The cafe is a cozy, comfortable spot to take a nice leisurely coffee break or meal. The proximity to GGP is another big plus!If you aren't a bike person, you won't find the bike theme to the cafe over-the-top or annoying. But if you do like to bike, their menu is full of bike-related easter eggs (the Leipheimer Burrito, etc), and there are lots of fun old school bike racing pictures and posters around the place!
