Viva Cafe

True gem! Super friendly chef and great (!) food for only 15. I wish I found this spot earlier, but it’s very hidden. It looks like a lobby coming in, but just follow the food scent.The brownies are absolutely worth the calories!!

Viva Cafe, a perfect little "hole in the wall" coffee shop tucked in a hot tech firm building.My office is located on the top floor of this building and it's only natural that this beautiful cafe becomes your "home away from home". The food is amazingly fresh and organic with plenty of flavors to go around. Daily specials are always a treat and a surprise. Especially when Italian Sausage Sandwiches, Chicken Tamales and BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches are on the menu that day (they run out quick)! Your daily picks in the mini fridge are chicken salads, fruit salads, acai bowls, parfait bowls, meaty sandwiches, artisan pastries and a wide variety of coffees and drinks! Believe me when I say that this building runs on coffee... the employees that work in this building are powered by none other than Viva Cafe.The owner and chef, Vadim is a genuine badass! If he notices you're becoming a regular at his spot, the cafe's prices get hacked just for you. He takes detailed care and talented craftsmanship to your orders, almost as if he makes it a goal to get it perfectly tailored to your taste each time!*Ask for catering details, if you're interested. Ask for wifi password.

As I walked into the store, the chef welcomed me. The food was warm and fresh. He packed all the varieties from their menu into the box, I wish there were a bit more vegetables though.

I go to this place every week. The food is freshly prepared. The portion is big enough to last me two meals. The price is very reasonable. The taste is amazing. The chef is super nice and friendly.

Decided to try this place over a hotel breakfast. Smart move on my part. Fresh cooked breakfast bowl, cheap and super good. Little hole-in-the-wall back by the elevator past the guard. Almost missed it.

This place is awesome. The chef and the staff were very kind and committed to serving the best combination of their food. I loved both the quality and the quantity.

This lunchspot is a hidden gem in the financial district - everyone comes back after eating - truly customized and delicious meal, generous portion, and a great chef and owner known as “V”!7/14/23 update: they now serve breakfast from 7:30-11:30am. They cater and customize your breakfast and lunch even when you order on the fly! Five stars!!!

Was visiting SF and had the best breakfast burrito of my life here. Super friendly owner and big portions. Must try!
