La Promenade Café: Reviews & Ratings
not pictures is the breakfast bagel and other coffee we got. I love the ambiance and the fast service, this place is open very early compared to most places making it very accessible. The service was great and they had multiple options for you to choose what cheese,meat and bread. The matcha was not sweet but they have a station with simple syrup to add to your liking.
Came here to get some work done, I loved the amount of seats and options they have. I managed to snag a booth with the person I met up with and it was nice because it provided good privacy but also didn't feel stuffy. Large space, and had a really good iced chai and BLTA. For sure would come back here again
Great coffee and tea drinks on Balboa. I love their chai latte and espresso drinks. They have a bunch of seating and tables in their large cafe. It's a great place to get some work done on a laptop or read. The employees are always super friendly and kind!!
Love this cafe. Street parking is usually not a challenge. Lots of space and such cute decor. They have coffee, breakfast, lunch, and wine - a bit of something for everyone. Their food is surprisingly good - ESPECIALLY the tomato basil soup. The staff are super friendly and patient! Great spot to catch up with a friend or get some work done!
Soup of the day was luckily tomato basil soup, I paired it with tuna sandwich, and my friend asked for a grilled cheese on sourdough bread. It's a cute coffee shop that opened on the New Year's Day, and they have quite a lot of books in the back with some board games. Looks cute, vibe is friendly, food is decent.
Ambiance: it's a city themed coffee shop located outer Richmond area, poplar study and work spot for locals Service: very fast and efficient even though there's a waiting line Food & Drink: big menu for coffee drinks and light bites items mainly for breakfast Breakfast bagel - **** egg, meat, and cheese, small sized bagel and tasty, recommend Cafe Mocha - **** solid taste, recommend Bombon - *** a hot beverage made of sweet condensed milk and espresso, very sweet flavor Price: decent quality and affordable prices, expect $10~$15 per person
Dropped by here for a matcha latte (which was pretty good) but will definitely be coming back for the ambiance if anything! It is such a cozy spot for studying with some friends. Service was great and I will be trying a sandwich next time!
Comfortable and cozy cafe to get work done at. There's soft music playing and some quiet chatter but overall feels like you are at a library. A large space with lots of tables available. Many food options to choose from and different flavored lattes. Coffee was pretty average but the lox bagel I had was amazing. Parking is fairly easy too. They also have some secondhand books for sale in the back.
I like how this place is open later. They are open until 6pm and Thurs-Sat until 8pm. For such a major city I'm always surprised that so many cafes close before 5. In addition to the standard coffee drinks, they also have beer, wine, smoothies, and Italian sodas. What I like about here in addition to the hours is that it gives cozy coffeehouse vibes. It has a cute Parisian mural and a bookshelf with all books from Green Apple selling for $5. What I don't like about here is that people tend to bring their laptops and keep the tables for hours. I almost feel like there should be a time limit for laptop users sitting there for long periods of time working.
