"Presidio Heights' all-day cafe As Quoted is all about gluten-free everything, including the toast, topped with banana or avocado, which is made daily with sorghum and multigrain flours, honey, eggs, and avocado oil. For bigger portions, get the chicken bone broth." - Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff

"As Quoted is gorgeously clean and white, with a long marble bar and warm brass chandeliers hanging from the ceilings. And the menu has the added value that everything is delicious, healthy, and allergy conscious—excellent lattes (even a turmeric option), a smoked salmon sandwich on gluten-free bread, and a kale and avocado salad are all excellent picks. Plus, it's really easy to take meals to-go. "

"Gluten-free toasts and green juices attract the athleisure-clad parents of Pac Heights like bees to raw, organic honey. As quoted is something of a local gathering place for conscious eaters, and while the prices might demand a raw, organic bank account, the quality is tops. Online orders can be placed via Caviar." - Eater Staff

I start at 5 stars and go down if needed. One bathroom made wait a bit long. Got a scramble and the large broth. One for us to share one to take with. I would probably settle for kettle and fire heated up for the price but it's nice to have and support a small business on a cold day. I have mixed feeling about a place like this where it's like you order like it's in and out but you tip like it's a restaurant? But it's clean. It's quaint and I'm sure they're doing their best. 4 stars across the board I felt like each had room for improvement. Perhaps id hit it with 5 stars if there wasn't a prompt for 18 20 and 22% tip (it could've been 10/15/20 but to me felt like over the counter service)

Wanted to like this place, was excited to check it out. Bought a chia pudding, a cookie, and an oat latte, came in at just over $18 with tip, on par for SF. Blueberry’s in the chia had gone bad, cookie was stale. Oat latte was made so hot it burnt my mouth, zero latte art, milk just dumped into coffee and handed over. This coffee shop has such an amazing in-counter espresso machine ($$$), but they skimped on the barista (lady with the straight cut bangs - sorry). Amazing aesthetic and nice place to hang out and do work, but I ended up dumping everything I had bought and going to another coffee shop. I’ll probably leave this review up for a few weeks until I feel bad and take it down, but there ya go.

Wondering if this BLT sandwich came “as quoted.” Menu says nothing about open face and the bread wasn’t toasted. A single raw slice of bread with lettuce, cherry tomato, and a piece of bacon broken up into little bits: $12. $3 more to add an egg on it. They also left a heap of coffee grounds in my iced coffee and served my friend a $16 bagel with lox but only offer it on plain un-toasted bagel with plain cream cheese. Didn’t bother cutting the bagel in half which made for a difficult and messier eating experience. Why serve two different bagel sandwiches on the menu, if all you offer is plain bagel with plain cream cheese and won’t toast the bread?

I get the breakfast tacos every week. Sometimes they heat the tortillas and they are delicious. But lately they’ve been serving them on cold corn tortillas that break apart as soon as they are picked up. The ginger bone broth is yummy though.

Super good! Our fam is 1/2 gluten free and everyone loved this place! Everything on the menu was great, but the drinks (match, turmeric, etc) were a little watered down. Super quick!

Parking is very expensive here, even for 5 minutes. Probably not worth it to come once a week, specially for the size of the drinks they come with. I order a large mocha every time, and they give the smallest cup, it’s just not worth it anymore. The food is pretty decent, but I’ve yet to try their avocado toast.

A lovely Café, serving amazing coffee, but the food was very bland. I came in and asked for avocado & poached egg on toast. They said they could only do it on bread. When it came out, the presentation looked fantastic, but unfortunately it was both textureless and tasteless. The gluten free bread was similar to a rye, but had the texture of a firm cake, with no discernible crust so wasn’t so different to the avocado on top. The avocado really needed seasoning and perhaps some lemon juice to give it some flavour. The coffee was amazing, on the other hand! A really nice morning blend that was not too strong and bitter. The staff were also really pleasant. I’ll come back for the coffee, and perhaps try something different on the menu in case this was an off day.

This place is hand wavy at best. I should have taken more time to review the menu ahead of time. It was too busy to take time reading the wall. That said… the wet egg is a total nope nope nope for me. The muffin is a bit grainy/sandy and the beet latte is bomb. I wouldn’t pair beet with cinnamon but I like to be a good sport and take things as they come vs always expect the Red Sea to part for me. It’s loud like the other reviews say. Too loud for a meeting or sending emails etc. I wish I would have gone for toast or waffles and I would but the wet egg is enough for me to feel morally violated for many moons.

I don't know. The place looked nice, but it just wasn't for me. I got a bit flustered ordering their breakfast, but that was on me. I tried the café au lait, which was pretty bad. I couldn't finish it. The breakfast was a bit soggy so I didn't finish it, either. The price seemed alright for SF. Service was good.

Walk past this place all the time, but was scared to give it a shot due to the elevated prices. Got the Herb salad and it was absolutely incredible - great flavor and the avo + chicken made it worth the extra $$. The chai was spicy and not sweet, which is hard to find. Will be coming back here. The taco salad comes with avo and chicken included in the price which was really nice!

Breakfast was fine a little bland and pricey. Cappuccino was decent. BUT cookies weren't edible and they were $4.50 a piece. :(

Matt J.

Yelp
Unfortunately this doesn't make As Quoted unique, but like other restaurants, they don't offer a legitimate vegetarian protein so you have to remove chicken, pay the same price for less food and have a dissatisfying meal. On top of that, the dressing is forgettable.

The open faced breakfast sandwich was pretty good, with thick bacon. I was getting it to go, though, and it proved pretty messy to eat. It's basically all the ingredients piled up on a piece of sourdough toast and falling off the sides. My gripe is that I got there when it opened, as did about a dozen other people. The server told us all the wait would be about 10 minutes, and it turned out to be over half an hour. There's very little chance he didn't know how long it was really going to take. I didn't have that kind of time and probably would have left had I known. Someone else got more openly furious about it than I did. Don't mislead customers. It's just a bad practice.

This place has the best food oh by the way it's gluten-free don't go there though cause it can be crowded and I don't wanna share my favorite spots. The banana nut banana muffin is killer. That salad are really good and oh yeah they use Bacon so worth checking that out as well as the good cheese. Enjoy. This place is great.

A must if you're a celiac or gluten free in sf! Everything is gluten free and the food is amazing! I definitely recommend the waffle and toast. Also located in a very cute part of town

I am hoping it was an off day on 9/13. Chicken Salad to go had barely any chicken/brown lettuce and the tortilla chips were even stale. This has happened before with the salad however the banana muffin was also not the typical magical experience. Disappointed.

Loved the vibe and the food at this place I had a great kale salad , my friends had the Mexican salad, avo sandwich All in all great food!

Expensive. BLT was strange. 2 cherry tomatoes cut in half and very little bacon. Pretty much like a salad on toast.

Went for lunch a couple days back. Pretty busy, but efficient busy. You order at the front and food is served to your table or to go. Lots of healthy options, you do get your money's worth in terms of greens to paper green ratio. Snowy Plover - exactly as described. Sparkling water, espresso shot, whipped cream dollop. Tarty, sour, sweet finish. Open faced Breakfast Sandwich w/ Poached Egg on top. Looks great for photos. Impractical on how to eat, it can get messy. Not very flavorful... You're just eating a salad with a whole crouton and bacon strip without any dressing. I'd come if I wanted to splurge. I wouldn't go out of my way for this place though.

I love the simple white décor. It makes the café look bright, clean and minimalistic which is very fitting for Presidio Heights. The beet latte tastes better than other places I've had it at, I think they add vanilla or spice so it has more flavor to it. While beet lattes are very pretty they usually taste bland and boring and can't compete with the taste of coffee. I tend to just stick to the coffee drinks here since the menu is a little pricey though I'd recommend the avocado toast. It's served with radish and red pepper flakes which gives it a kick. This place seems very busy with the moms with young children crowd and firemen. There aren't any coffee places on the block so it can get busy and full. I don't really like their hours, it closes at 3pm weekdays and is closed on the weekends.

Came here on the weekend with a girlfriend to grab a drink before we started our day & immediately after walking in I knew it was going to be a very long visit. There is only one barista and one station to make drinks. We ordered the TURMERIC LATTE & the ROOIBOS CHAI LATTE. The drinks were underwhelming, the wait was long, and it was actually quite warm in the cafe. The cafe looked really cute, and I wanted to like it, but I just wanted to finish my drink and leave as quickly as possible. ENJOY!

Came here for a quick lunch yesterday and ordered the avocado toast & the unsweetened jasmine green tea. The avocado toast was decent, but the texture of the bread was a little off as it's gluten-free. The jasmine green tea was surprisingly really good; it didn't taste bitter and it had a bit of floral taste to it. Prices are somewhat high for what you get (small portions; $3 for 1 poached egg), but then again, what's cheap nowadays?

Diana K.

Yelp
Horrible chicken bone broth. Luke warm, tasteless, literally the worst bone broth I've ever had the pleasure of spending $7 on. Literally tossed it in the trash before I even walked out of the cafe. Heading back down to Proposition Chicken in Laurel Village for the most delicious bone broth ever....which is only $4 for double the size.

Good ambience but food wasn't at its best. Could have been better. Self service , you gotta grab your on food. Decent Cafe place tho. Wait time could be longer.

I stopped by As Quoted the other day for a coffee stop after an 8-mile run with my run club. (This cafe was very conveniently located right next to my finishing point, so I couldn't resist a post-run cappuccino.) I think I had my expectations raised pretty high upon walking in, because the place looked super cute and quaint. The baristas and servers up front were also very friendly and welcoming. I liked that they use Califia's almond milk for their almond milk drinks... but unfortunately, I was less-than-impressed with my cappuccino. The espresso was so bitter, that even the almond milk barely left a dent in the acidity. I also wish there was more foam in my drink (I like my capps on the dryer side), so my $6 drink tasted like a very bitter, milked-down latte. I'm not sure I would come back a second time, though I appreciate that it's just right across the street from A Runner's Mind (one of the places my club commonly meets for our Saturday runs).

I was walking around the area and decided to finally stop and try this coffee shop! I immediately noticed how inviting this place was, the inside was super bright and clean. What I ordered: - I decided to try their gluten-free BLT open-face sandwich (5/5 recommend, it was super filling, and the bacon was delicious) - Iced coffee with oat milk (strong, not overpowered by oat milk) I believe my total after tip was around $21, a little pricey, but everything was fresh, fast, and tasty. Great coffee, a gluten-free food menu, lovely ambiance, decent street parking, and friendly staff! There is plenty of inside seating and about 3-4 tables outside. The only con that I can think of, is that they are only open on WEEKDAYS. Thank you! :)

Started a new job across the street and I noticed this place is always lively and busy from morning to early afternoon. Very clean and bright space to enjoy a coffee or grab some breakfast or lunch. I'm a sucker for avocado toast so when I saw it on the menu I went for it. Ordered with a side of smoked salmon and also an iced latte. Their bread is gluten free and very hearty - it went well with the avocado and chili flakes plus the smoked salmon and lemon. The coffee is strong! I'm pretty sensitive to caffeine and my iced latte kept my energy up for my entire 8 hour work shift Prices are on the steep side, but quality is fresh and the service and space are lovely. I'll most likely make this a weekly treat - even just to enjoy their strong coffee drinks.

I've had several items from this restaurant. My opinions on each: Americanos- mediocre. Even just adding a little cream, you no longer have a hot coffee, just a lukewarm one. Flavor is okay. Taco Salads- okay, but not enough dressing and so I basically ate a dry salad. Banana Muffins- these muffins are the reason I come here on a semi regular basis! This goes to show you don't need multiple bakery items , but just need one or two really good ones! They are consistent and delicious every single time. The cookie they offer is also quite good. The restaurant itself is beautiful. It's clean, sleek, and minimal. I have friends that also go here and we all wonder why they 1) close so early (3pm), and 2) are CLOSED on Sundays?! That doesn't make any sense, for a restaurant business to be closed on one of the busiest weekend days of the week.

Yelp
this morning around 11;00am, they had no bread! (hahah), so we ordered the brekkie, bowl.... a bowl of frisee, and one poached egg.... not worth the $$. nothing special at all! and a staff guy started removing our bowls with out asking if we were finished...we needed our forks for the potatoes...

A great addition to the neighborhood. Great for people watching as it's filled with the local elite. The menu looked fantastic full of nourishing and healthy options. Which is something I value greatly as I am working on getting my health on track and get that glow from within ;) This time I just had just coffee and the bone broth. Both were warm and perfect for the cold morning. I will return to test the rest of the menu.

Yelp
Great spot for a quick bite of lunch and coffee! The interior of this place is very pleasant - clean, spacious and plenty of seating. Looks small from the outside but they have space that goes pretty far back. You'll find a lot of families with their kids/dogs here as well as people working on laptops. I'll admit, it kind of kills the vibe when you're trying to have a nice little lunch or conversation with a friend and in the background are people on zoom calls. I don't mind people working at a cafe but I feel like this place could be more enjoyable if they enforced a no phone call policy. Maybe that's just me? I ordered their breakfast toast and a vanilla latte. I saw some of the other reviews saying the drinks were watered down. I thought mine was pretty good so I'll probably come back to try some of their more unique lattes. Toast was decent too, my only gripe is how "SF priced" this place is for what you get. I know their whole concept is locally sourced/healthy but just be warned their food costs a premium! Overall I'd come back though, it's in such a cute area of SF too!

Melody D.

Pretty expensive but delicious food. As a sweetgreen enthusiast, this has probably been one of my favorite salads ever. I got the herb salad with a poached egg, which came out to about $26 including tip. The portion was HUGE and there were a lot of ingredients inside (yum squash). The vibe was clean and minimalistic-- very hip. The service was great for a cafe. The place seemed busy but not at all hectic.

Clean and minimalist decor inside, seems like a good place to do work/study. Got an Americano with oat milk and the gluten free banana muffin and both were great! Definitely want to come back and try the meals.

I haven't eaten at the cafe, but I've gotten take out from there twice. I had the taco salad twice and my mom had the Chinese chicken salad. Both were tasty. I loved the cumin vinaigrette on my taco salad. The only thing I would say is that the cafe needs a good wipe down - the floors and the tables.

Erin L.

Way over priced. Turmeric latte doesn't even have espresso so you pay more if you want it. $9 latte!!! And it tasted terrible. $6 muffin!!! Ahh!!

My mom and I came here after she had a medical procedure around the corner. She had been fasting and was tired and a little grumpy, and really really wanted a cup of coffee. She was delighted to find a gluten free cafe nearby. The coffee was good and plentiful. She had a lovely salad. I had the BLT. Yum! The beet latte needed a little salt. The hot chocolate was fantastic. The staff were very kind and helpful. It was a great spot to get a bite and recoup after a challenging morning.

Samantha G.

I enjoyed this spot! Great for people with allergies, especially gluten. I went with my boss in between meetings and it seems like a good place to study or do work from. There are two large tables in the back room that is larger and then there are smaller tables from when you walk in to the back area as well. I ordered the avo toast with salmon and my boss ordered a cobb salad. Both were really good and fresh. The bread was gluten free so its a little dense but that is to be expected. I also order a tea and it came in a big teapot which I always love because I need ALL the tea :). They also had a lot of coffee drinks too if that is your thing. The decor is very minimalist and cute. The crowd is giving Marina. Overall a good place to stop in for a bite if you're in the area.

Consider the context. In this case the neighborhood and what the market will bear. Is this Egg sandwich with bacon worth $13? The individual ingredients were good. Ok. Weirdly, the egg was cold but maybe it god cold quickly because I was sitting outside? I've never had a pre-cooked poached egg. The truth? Apparently for me it was worth trying for me. Would I do it again? Nah. In other neighborhoods I can get a lot more for minimally more. But. This is where I was. Nicely presented. Nice interior. There are other less expensive options. For my money. Yours? I don't know what money's in your pocket. No judging. Just my opinion.

Consistently delicious healthy organic gluten free dairy free food!! I work a few blocks from AQ and have eaten here 30+ times. The portions are generous, filling, and leaves me feeling satisfied and full for several hours. The drinks are great, the matcha is very earthy, grassy and the coffee has a strong flavor. Expect to pay the appropriate price for high quality food, preparation, and living wages.

Yum! Gluten free open faced sandwiches, Tumeric lattes, avocado toast, delicious salads -- love this neighborhood spot. A little pricey but worth it for the quality, convenience, and healthy offerings. It's a treat.

Kate L.

I've only ever had cafe au laits and they're not too bad. They use Andytown beans and the default size is large. I do think the coffee could be stronger and suspect they're skimping on the proportion of ground coffee to water.

In the midst of lunch, the kitchen staff wheeled the big garbage bins, blue and green right through the dining room out the back door. The room is not wide and all of us got a chance to smell the rubbish as it rolled by. Then came the dirty rubber kitchen floor mats. If that is not totally disgusting what is? The health department is investigating this unsanitary and gross situation. Who in the world would ever think of eating at this sewer.

The most hipster SF joint you've ever been to. But also exactly what I needed. Went here after running the Lyon steps with my husband for brunch on a Sunday. EVERYTHING is gluten free and mostly dairy free. It was a DREAM! Yes, it pricey, but you can leave full for a decent price if you order right. We split the bagel with dairy-free kite hill cream cheese and smoked salmon ($18) and the Avocado Toast ($9). I had Beet Latte (?!!) which was interesting and my husband had a very sweet but delicious Mocha. It's also in such a cute little neighborhood in Presidio Heights. Would love to live there.

I've been to As Quoted a few times and quite honestly this place has SO much potential to be an SF favorite but it misses the mark in a number of ways. First of all.. I can confirm that what people have said in other reviews is true.. the drinks are weirdly watered down. They haven't addressed it. I remember getting a chai and it was not good. Their salads are TASTY. However, I usually order for pickup and they NEVER give enough dressing on the side for the size of the salad, which ruins it. You can ask for extra dressing but they can charge extra for that... the most bizarre thing. Overall, it's good, but needs a few fixes if they listen to customer feedback.

You come here even though it is a block away from a Peet's and a Starbucks because it is chill. People are fun to look at and are not hogging all the seats to sip coffee and use the place as a study room. Oh and yes it is away from all the homeless people. Did I mention it is the way that you'd want your kitchen to look? Clean and simple. With outdoor seating and minimal ready to eat or microwave food items, this place allows you a quiet place to simply get a cup of coffee and meet up with someone for a short meeting. Basically your Pacific/Presidio Heights gossip shop or cool place to run into an old friend and give a kiss and tell about your recent trip to Paris, Vietnam or the Himalayas. But you can't tell them about it now as you are off to a Spinning class with a hot new instructor. Oh wait. This is a coffee review, right? Absolutely the best! Coffee is coffee right? No! They do plain and simple espresso drinks amazingly! As I sat there talking to my friend and listening to her blab and tell me about her trip to Australia I had to stop her mid-sentence. I realized I needed silence so I could take a sip of one of the best lattes I've had in a long time. Smooth, creamy and sweet, it didn't need vanilla or any additions to appease me. So why not 5 stars? Went back the next day to see if I was hallucinating. I was not. Just as tasty. Only problem was that it was not that hot. Another cool thing. No dumb hearts with their foam. My gal gave me a "q" and a wink.

TL;DR - Clean cafe, decent street parking, and healthy menu but hard to access wifi. Argh. I really wanted to work-from-home from this cafe but I could not log into the wifi because they require a check-in on Facebook (is there a workaround) and I really am not comfortable using my work laptop for that. I got their Turmeric Latte which had pieces of fresh ginger and turmeric, which was actually quite tasty if you like it a bit chunky. They did not use powder and grounded the herbs there onsite. They also serve wine by the glass for about $8.50-$11 a glass. Their food menu really was far too pricy for a cafe. But if you like that kind of stuff, go for it. They have tons of healthy salads.

I really want to like it here but my experiences have been marginal. I was nearby today and hadn't had breakfast, so I stopped in and ordered a dark green (or deep green?) smoothie. What I got was more like a cup of chunky juice. It was not blended all the way (by a long shot) and had clumps of greens and cucumber throughout. Green smoothies are an acquired taste, that is a given, but I can usually take my medicine as long as it's made right. Aside from my bad smoothie, the clientele is very real housewives of Sacramento Street feeling. Lots of snobby, picky, angry, bony ladies who might be better off having chardonnay for breakfast instead of gluten free avocado toast... I guess I'll stick to Project Juice.

Buzzy, fantastic healthy and delicious food, gluten free, great energy! Best salads in the city using all organic produce. Love the Avo Toast. Highly recommend!!!

Another pale white modern café similar to Samovar Tea and Chai, this one has a little bigger space with some background Spanish songs. I thought I wanted to go to that cozy spot after I spent some time window shopping into the sidewalk sales event of Sacramento street. All I had to do was to keep going straight and I eventually find what I'm looking for my coffee break. Once again, I don't drink coffee. I'm a heavy tea drinker. After looking at the drink menu, I chose the beet latte (I would go for the golden milk latte made with turmeric but, oh well). My latte made with real fresh beets retained its distinctive reddish color. Aside from almond milk and cinnamon, the beet flavor taste familiar and different from other tea lattes like matcha and chai. If it's possible, hopefully one day, I would love to see how the female workers brew a "Blue Chai" tea latte, made with real butterfly pea flower! I would love to go back and have a smoothie, salad, or other fancy dishes if I'm in a mood. One of the best places to settle down for a drink and unwind.

Love the looks of this place! Very clean, and there was lots of people. I ordered a drink and an open sandwich for brunch, but wow so expensive. It came out roughly $15! I wish they would reduce the price for the open sandwich. My friend who ordered BLT was sadden by how small it looked. They put a really big lettuce, but little bacon and tomato. I would come here to have coffee with a friend, but I don't think I would be ordering side dishes unless I really need to.

A hidden, unknown spot in the Presidio Heights but amazing for healthy, good-for-you options. Came here after a workout class with my friends. The interior is simple, minimalistic and white. I would say it's both a great spot to come with friends and to come alone and get work done. I ordered the herb salad with the green goddess dressing. Added chicken and a poached egg on top. Overall, tasted great; the only think I would say is, you should order extra chicken since they didn't put much on mine. My friends ordered the avocado toast and the yogurt bowl. Personally, I am addicted to hazelnuts so I was biased and loved the yogurt. P. S. They have oat milk - get the matcha latte with it!

Adorable place that could use some work on logistics. 2 person seating tables along the entry, bar along the side, two big tables in the back that can seat 6-8 ish. Pros: - cute space - decent coffee and food is tasty. Taco salad for $15. Cons: - Steep steep prices that don't quite correspond to value - WiFi is spotty. Don't recommend this spot for working - slow service, I waited for my food for FOREVER and eventually just walked over and picked it up from the counter

This is my favorite cafe in Presidio Heights. Not only is the place adorable, but they also have great food and drinks. They also happen to be gluten free. I typically order the turmeric latte, which is one of my favorite turmeric lattes ever: fresh turmeric, fresh ginger, almond milk, coconut oil, sea salt, black pepper and coconut sugar (I prefer it without the sweetener, but my palate steers towards the savory side). I've also had a couple salads from As Quoted and they are super delicious and satisfying. Highly recommend stopping by this place if you're in the neighborhood!
