Favorite little spot on the hill. Best lox bagels ever. Best kindest staff. Marina and Pedro are so kind and welcoming and make the best food and drinks I just adore this spot! True SF vibes. Been coming here since a baby

The BEST hot coca! I don't know what kind of secret formula or fairy dust they're using but I ordered a large and it was so good, I ordered another one!

This morning was my first visit to Thinkers Cafe :) I ordered a pecan bar, which was delicious. The cashier (guy with the glasses) was also very sweet and attentive when I asked him for their WiFi information. My only qualm is I wish they had better lighting. Otherwise, thank you for a nice experience!

Yummy Turkey Pesto sandwich, thiccc and flavorful. Soy latte was standard. Cute shop and I found parking easily. Very friendly service. Lots of options on the menu. Studied here for a bit in the morning and it wasn't too crowded. Only thing was I sat by the window and there were lots of mosquitos/bugs. Would still recommend to check the spot out!

Came here after a long run and got a single smoothie and also tried my friend's burrito! Good: - Fast service and really good prices for the area - The smoothie was so good and filling! I liked the summer fruit smoothie since it wasn't overly sweet but it had a great flavor profile - Nice outdoor seating on a beautiful day Bad: - A more casual place, a little more run down Overall not a fancy place but it a good affordable place for food.

Thinkers is a small neighborhood cafe in a quiet street in Potrero hill, right across the public library and within a block or two away from other thriving local businesses and a park. The inside is a bit small and could probably only seat 3 or 4 groups, but I do I like that they have outdoor seating with a little bit of shade from the trees. I haven't tried any of their food, but I frequent Thinkers for their coffee, their fast service, and the amazing people behind the counter who are super nice and lovely to talk to!

Great breakfast, sandwich, soup, and salad shop right in the middle of a charming neighborhood. My sandwich was favorable; the bread was well toasted and the meat seasoned to perfection. The place is gorgeous inside; it takes you back to a simpler time when the customer service was superb and the food amazing. I love the green decor and the coffee area. We sat outside, it was a hot day, but the restaurant is situated on the side of the street where there's shade, and the wind constantly is sending a breeze your way. Great Place to eat!
