Cafe Da Fonk! - San Francisco, California

Ruvaid

I've been visiting in the bay area for two weeks and this is definitely the best breakfast/lunch I had, hands down.

We had the Zadie's breakfast sandwich, Big Ralfie's sujuk supreme breakfast, honey lavender black tea, and a chocolate chip cookie.

The food was fresh and well-made, the staff was super kind, and the cafe's vibe is immaculate.

This kind of local run shop is the reason I love visiting cities. It's so great to see a halal and black-woman owned place like this. I'll definitely be visiting again my next time in the area.

10/10.

We have lived in the neighborhood for 3 years and finally stopped by for my birthday. I feel sad that I missed out on this place for 3 years! We ordered the signature breakfast sandwich and huevos ranchero-like dish. I love the creativity and spin that the owner and chef put on the dishes.

The biscuits were delicious! They had 2 sweet ones and 2 savory ones. I preferred the savory ones- jalapeño cheddar and the everything biscuit. They taste a bit richer and complex, compared to ones I have tried from other places.

I am pleasantly delighted that the menu is so diverse- dishes ranged from burgers to chicken curry to biscuits. I will be back to try the other dishes.

🤯 Biscuits are better than Khanfectionary in the Mission. The jalapeño biscuit for the breakfast sandwich was delicious and comes with a nice arugula side salad.

🥚 We also had the huevos on crispy little tortillas. Very good, especially with the chipotle sauce on the side.

☕️ pour over coffe was also lovely

🥰 the owner stopped by our table to check on us and she is a delight. She spent about a decade in Berlin, Germany, and brings some international flair to the café menu, ambience, and playlist.

🤤 the everything biscuit, the apple pie biscuit, and the Matcha strawberry biscuit are also worth trying. I personally like the everything biscuit the best, but if you want something a bit more sweet go for the 🍎apple pie biscuit, and if you want a lot more sweet (think bear claw level sweet) then go for the Matcha strawberry option. You better grab a coffee with that one though ‘cause it is SWEET.

🛋️ the place has eclectic seating, with a couple of couches a few two top tables and a few four top tables. Great to pop in on your own, or with a few friends.

so happy to find a halal cafe serving such unique dishes and well crafted coffee. i got the halal spam and egg breakfast and every bite was fantastic. the halal turkey spam was sautéed and seasoned perfectly and balanced well with the house sauce, soft egg scramble and side beets/avocado.

i'm also usually not a fan of fruit lattes but cafe da fonk has perfected the balance in their rose and fruit latte. not too sweet and just the right notes to taste the coffee. also got to try a sip of the chagachino and it was great too!

lots of seating, natural light, vibey music, local art. would be a good spot to work!

will be coming back here again 🙂

What a cute gem of a cafe to hang and work at! The vibes and atmosphere of this place is just so homey, and we were greeted and welcomed by such a warm soul in Yassy. The bowl was hearty and homey, drinks were cozy, and the cookies were such a delight. Thank you!!

This place is really cute, it got nice vibes and songs. First of its HALAL. I am super thankful for that because not many things are halal. So it’s always good to have more options. People with halal dietary restrictions definitely check this place out.
The lady at the counter was very friendly and patient. I went there with my siblings, mom and husband, who took their time to decide what to order, We ordered all the food below and everything was fantastic. The rose and fruit along with some dessert baked sample they gave us were splendid! The only things my mum added to her grilled chicken plate was that the chicken felt a bit dry and not as juicy but the flavor she loved a lot, but then again my mum is a bit picky.
The sample she gave us was of carrot cake, bread pudding and the ube pie/tart. All of them were really good. Our favorites were the bread pudding and ube pie, those were super super good.
If you are in the area definitely stop by and try this place out.

Great experience, the food was AMAZING (especially with the fluffy eggs and fresh baked bread) and the atmosphere was super cozy!!! Would definitely come back for the breakfast sandwiches and the fresh mint lemon honey tea!!! And also the people there were super friendly and down to earth!!!
