Tasty sandwiches! Try the Bun Mee house special.
Danielle Massell
Absolutely incredible spot - nice, comforting space where you can relax, work, read, or chat - good wifi - nice variety of drinks and food to choose from - and above that all, the people running the cafe are just wonderful!! They make you feel right at home and so well taken care of! Love this spot, will definitely visit again soon!! PS. I ordered a salad with salmon and avocado today - it was delicious :) wish I had taken a pic, but trust me it's a good choice!!
Blaise Baldeschwiler
Inexpensive, friendly, and absolutely delicious... My new go-to.
Ellen Hibdon
Good location, nice atmosphere and service. The coffee is tasty, and there are good pastries and breakfast sandwiches to eat. Enough tables to do work. The place feels spacious and the internet is adequate, and the noise level is not too high. Also a good place for socializing.
Will Kirkpatrick
They do not have a single gluten free item, but the coffee is good.
Robert Shultz

Very friendly people.the best latte in the Bay.
Chad Avellar
Great coffee, and very few hipsters

It’s a cute place. Nice vibe and nice corner location. But two things didn’t work for me: the staff were being a bit roudy amongst themselves and louder than us the whole time, and they have really bad internet service. So if you’re looking for a coffee shop to escape for an hours worth of work, this ain’t the right place.

Great Cafe with a good selection of drinks and food. Friendly staff

Ok seatings. Yummy sandwich, which is a great time saving if you don't want to walk away for food. Clean bathroom and all.Nice floor-to-ceiling glass, but this is also the biggest drawback. During the day noon til sundown, the sun is intense and uncomfortable.Edit: I asked the owner to lower the blind, and he did it immediately. Nice!

Great cafe to work from or to go and grab a quick bite. We always get the banh mi’s.

Best sandwiched and staff. They are like family to basically everyone who lives in this area. Truly a beam of light in these dark times!
Rebecah Freeling
These people are so amazing - so kind and helpful to everyone. And the brie sandwich is fantastic!
Zena Sherman
They make it their business to know each customer by name and welcome you in each time you come through their doors and they know what you ordered the last time and can say your order before you even tell them. These are wonderful people in a really nice little coffee shop!
Raymond Carbonneau Robles
Very affordable, friendly atmosphere, open when other places are closed. Good, broad menu selection. The servers are SO nice. Such a pleasure to interact with them. The ingredients are super fresh and delicious. The bread for the banh mi is clearly baked same day, and all of their vegetables are crisp and vividly colored. BE HERE

If you’re wondering if you should stop by this cafe for a coffee and a Banh mi sandwich- the answer is always YES! This place is super yummy, and the workers are kind. The atmosphere is open and friendly to all. I think I’ve brought my whole family in at this point! lol. It’s definitely worth it.
Benjamin Lunday
Excellent little café with a wide range of good drinks and meals (would definitely recommend a Thai iced tea with a pork banh mi). Quiet and well-situated, good place to bunker down and get work done with plenty of outlets and an abundance of natural light.

This is the only place I've ever found that makes a Jasmine tea latte and it is SO good! Staff are very friendly and it's a nice chill coffee shop. My absolute favorite spot! ðŸµðŸ’šâœ¨

Love the ambiance and their green tea matcha's are fantastic. Go there to catch up on some work with comfortable seating and free wifi or enjoy the cars passing by while eating a vietnamese sandwich outside seating. Either way it's the perfect neighborhood shop
Israel Sotomayor Azcuna
Best place around for a good coffee and a beagle ☺
Sophie Morley

Great neighborhood cafe with super friendly folks who run the place.

Got the mocha. Excellent. None of that mainstream products.
Jovelyn Richards
This wonderful cafe is my Sunday:good morning! I pass multiple coffee houses coming from miles away for the lovely service and beautiful smiles. The theater I work at is not to far from Nomad’s. I get coffee for my actors and snacks. The coffee is soooo good.
Nicole Pannuzzo
Had a good experience at Nomad Cafe. They’re bun mee sandwich’s are delicious. Ice coffee was not the best but the environment was great, had WiFi and outlets and the staff was friendly.

Sudabay Ajaj
I walked in here by mistake and I was instantly amazed with this place , how clean and the vibe is just amazing , I ordered the chicken panini pesto, its out of this world
Sue Foster
I go to Nomad cafe on the way to my meditation center across the street. Nomad's sandwiches are really good, especially Tuna Melt. I've also tried tofu Bonme, really delicious!
Luke St john
I love the blueberry cheese danishes, banh mi, raspberry bars, almond croissants, and the bottled drink selection
Lady L
Good service but food is just ok. They hugely overcharge for a thin smoothie that lacked any flavor other than almond butter. Getting tired of wasting my money on useless cheap establishments that dont care about quality
Peter P
Banh mi is good!
Sarin T
Love the staff! They are so kind. I go there at least once a week for kombucha or a pastry. The pork chop banh mi is super delicious. Looks basic but so flavorful.
Caleb Rogers
Good food, unique, good drinks, friendly staff.
Aurelius Tishlarich
This place is the best! Bee and company always meets you with warm smile and friendly conversation. Diverse selection of drinks and food items. Go here at least once a week because great overall environment and service.
Ben Chang
As cafes go I really dig this place. They make a great tuna sandwich and the place is simple with plenty of outdoor seating. WiFi is good too. I'll definitely return.
Olivier
Good coffee, good sandwiches, good people! You can sit down, sip on your drink and work on your laptop, they have wifi. They also have a small terrace for the summer (basically the sidewalk) but it pleasant during nice weather.
David Khalili
This is a great place to get a cold brew and do some work your laptop. The seating is comfortable and ample, and the outdoor seating is great on a sunny day. Be sure to support your local business.
Brianne Lund
Good coffee. No complaints.
Meow Kitty
I love this place, one of my regular spots. They have a great selection of breakfast and lunch, plus their coffee is great too. I recommend their bagel breakfast sandwiches and especially their Vietnamese sandwiches!! So yummy
Andrea Bloom
Love this place! Perfect for reading or studying. It is quiet, has decent drinks and food, and a good number of tables for a small venue. Love all the windows, and the waitstaff is super friendly. Also love the 60s protest photos from the area.
Dallas Kane
Yummy sandwiches, breakfast or Vietnamese. Tasty iced coffees and Thai iced teas. And they deliver! Always tastes really fresh and a good deal.
Delma Valencia
