Best Place to Meet Up in the Castro

Cafe Flore has ample patio seating, heat lamps, and a colorful decor

Cafe Flore, voted “Best Cafe in San Francisco” by readers of the SF Bay Guardian, Bay Area Reporter, & SF Weekly in 2012, and “Best Well Drinks” amongst San Francisco bars by SF Weekly readers in 2010, has been the heart & soul of the Castro since 1973. A landmark all-ages cafe known for our distinctive brunch and dinner menus, sunny patio garden, full bar with great drink specials & community events, we proudly offer the most central meet up spot in the Castro, with a heated outdoor patio.

Our crowd is a mix of loyal locals and visitors from all over the world. Our location is at the bustling intersection of Market, Noe and 16th streets with supberb sightseeing of the historic F-Line streetcars (authentic cars from all over the world), the gorgeous members of three nearby gyms, and the eclectic LGBT locals. We’re also THE place to see and be seen by San Francisco’s most colorful crowd, and a well-known cruising spot.

Why Wait, Have a Seat, Enjoy!

Cafe Flore is a great place to meet people. Since we are self-service, you won’t usually have to wait to sit down…order food at the kitchen counter and find any available table (inside or outside) and we’ll bring your order to you. Order drinks & desserts separately at the bar. You spend less time waiting, and more time enjoying your friends!  Unlike most restaurants, we don’t have a wait list, but due to popularity, we ask that you not take up more space than you need and to relinquish your seat 15 minutes after finishing your order.

Welcome to San Francisco’s Cafe Flore, a Self-Service Bar & Restaurant for People of All Ages

Kitchen & Full Service Bar open every day of the year.

Sidewalk Seating on Noe Street at Market is Great for a Sunny Brunch, Served till 4pm
