Great cafe in a popular part of town. Friendly quick service with quality drinks and food. Has outdoor patio and indoor seating. Tried their lentil soup (very savory and satisfying!) and their spicy chai latte (not too sweet or spicy, a good blend). Great place to relax and chat, definitely recommend!

After spending several hours at the Huntington we were looking for some lunch and nice place to sit and came across this place. We had sandwiches, salads and lentil soup. Everything was delicious but I think the lentil soup was my favorite. Nice place to sit and eat if you’re in the area.

Ecstatic that my friend found this place and shared it with me. Although I’m not normally in this neighborhood, I will come back just to eat here. I very much enjoyed the Figgy Piggy Panini with salad that I had and am looking forward to trying their other sandwiches. Street parking can be a little difficult depending on the time of day you come, but they do have a small lot right behind. As their name states, marketplace, they also carry a selection of spices and wines for sale. I’m not much of a coffee drinker, but they have a full coffee bar. A lot more outdoor seating than indoor seating and a single, shared gender bathroom.

A cute and folksy little cafe in a beautiful city of San Mariano where the famous Huntington Library is located. I love the vibes and charm of this Main Street where most of the local good shops and restaurants congregate.

Surprisingly good! We came on a Sunday during lunch time, and it was already packed. Not gonna lie, that immediately gave me a good feeling about this place. I assumed that the food must be good.

I stop by SM cafe about once a month at least. It’s in such a quaint little neighborhood, there’s always outdoor seating, shade, and a comfortable area to meet up friends for lunch. I’ve had a few of their sandwiches but I actually love their chicken scoop salad the most. I don’t love the name but the serving size is great and the onion bacon dressing is everything. I haven’t had the chance to stop by for dinner but I can imagine how nice it would be during the summer evenings.

I’ve only had breakfast and lunch here. Great selection of delicious pastries and hot breakfast foods (such as breakfast burritos and sandwiches). They have a few tables inside and along the sidewalk. You have to order at the counter but they are pretty fast. They have a great wine selection as well for lunch and dinner. A neighborhood treasure!!

Overpriced, Rude, Slow Service – I’m sure the owner will reply they are having staffing issues, but waiting 45 mins for a sandwich after ordering is a joke. So is using staffing issues as an excuse – Covid was 3 years ago and nobody is buying it any more! Food was tasteless and WAY overpriced. Save your money and dine elsewhere in nearby South Pas.

Surfer J here with another top review! Obviously I ordered the surfer chef’s club sandwich. Delicious packed with turkey bacon avocado on scrumptious toasted toast. My lady boo had a breakie burrito. They don’t charge for oat milk in coffee which is gnarly. I got some baby donuts to go for my dog Marley. I’ll let you know later his thoughts, but he ain’t to particular about his donuts. We’ll back again San Marino cafe for some more sweet vibes.

Wow, I paid almost $150 for a charcuterie board and it was supposed to be for 8 people, but the actual size of it was so small that I’m embarrassed to even bring it to my conference. If you are thinking about buying one of these charcuterie boards from here DON’T, save your money and go somewhere else.
