Funny because everyone was moaning about how shitty that place was a few weeks ago when people were posting old photos of Dolores Park!

DP Cafe has been sucky ever since I moved to SF in the late 1990s. The food is nothing more than so-so at best, and seems even worse considering Tartine, Delfina and Bi-Rite are right around the corner. Coffee is usually luke warm. But it survives due to location, obviously.

Bi-Rite will probably snatch any empty space up!

the DPC greek salad is delish and i have to appreciate a place that let’s DP-goers use the restroom without buying anything. it’s not a cool or interesting place – just a neighborhood cafe serving basic food and drink. get over it, hipsters.

Award for a valid point buried in an impossible-to-understand mess of grunts and badly formed and placed ellipses goes to YouguysisBrutal and his one-time-only handle!

You guys are brutal and pretty much idiots. Hey Hey…go Blue Bottle for letting the media and politics boost you up! If anyone ever dug deeper you would know that your heart throb pimp, Blue bottle is backed by a super huge venture capital company,…uhhhh, some far right in the company…ummmm…oh yeh, just like Whole Foods!Touted to make Blue Balls, I mean Blue bottle the next Starbucks.
Ummmmm, I think they are called..uhhhhh…Kolhberg Ventures. Go Four Barrel. Go
Ritual. Maybe one day you can franchise just like Blue Bottle with super rich Venture Capitalist too. Im sure Mission Mission would find a way to fuck you too.

Ebb & Flow will be taken over by the Mission Beach Cafe folks. Read that on Eater last week.

Yes, in 1970, and for quite awhile before that, way before it was the Real Good Karma Cafe, it was the Good Karma Cafe; the first natural food restaurant in San Francisco. There were no big windows on 18th St. It was dark, woodsy and brown, and basically a total revelation. I know it’s hard to imagine that tea, miso, and sunflower seeds seemed like revolutionary foods, but if you grew up in 50′s America they did. It felt like the coolest place in the world to me, and I cooked my version of Zen Fried Rice (brown rice, sauteed with cabbage, canned tuna, and tamari) in various home kitchens all through college.

Expensive, average everything, little effort in what they serve. Great location, shame about all the rest of it. Staff seem to have an air of superiority too, like most baristas….

my best experience there was one time when I met a friend and we just sat at a table in the sun, didnt buy anything, just talked for an hour and then left. So, props to DPC for that.
