Well located, reasonably priced, and the food tastes good, but nothing exceptional. Very few vegan options, and the one I really wanted wasn’t available. They were able to adapt a couple of dishes for me, but the adaptation was just removing the cheese without adding anything else, so be prepared for a very basic flavor if you do that.
I was really happy that they had Agua de Jamaica (and it was very good).
I don’t think I’m interested in coming back.

Delicious vegan tamales! The namesake drink, cafe de olla, really hits the spot on a (rare in the Mission) chillier day. They also serve a really good iced tea. I recommend asking for hot sauce for the tamal since it’s not crazy spicy but instead brings a great smokey flavor with the right amount of heat. Friendly staff and great prices!

The next time you say, “i think i’ll just get a burrito” ignore the urge and head to Café de Olla, and treat yourself to Oaxacan dishes for something much more flavorful. The Tlayuda with Carne Enchilada will satisfy your every craving with a delightful crunch and char on the corn tortilla. Perfect for a full meal or like i did, get it “on the side” with a Memala, which also packed a savory punch with the luscious asiento & beans. Also, don’t miss their namesake, the Cafe de Olla, for an iced coffee treat that can’t be beat.

Food was good but nothing really stood out. We had cafe de olla- it was pretty mid. We ordered food and the wait time seemed unusual long being that they were not too busy. We tried the mole tamale – it was okay. We also tried tlayuda – it was just ok.

La mejor comida oaxaqueña en San Francisco by far I used to have to drive to Petaluma for this, but glad to see its now within San Francisco!
We ordered the tlayuda de maíz azul with cecina enchilada and memela with tasajo. Both had flavors and textures that brought me back to Oaxaca; food tasted homemade and made with love and care. If I lived closer, I would have to come every day.
Besides the food, the environment is welcoming, filled with light and colors that resemble Oaxaca.

Super cute cafe with friendly people and tasty food! Nothing else to say. Their food is pretty standard but I absolutely love their hot drinks. The Mexican mocha and cafe de olla were superb. So rich and flavourful. Love the vibe here

The food was nothing special. We came for dinner and waited over 30 minutes because there were 4 other parties waiting for their food. If we had known we would have gone somewhere else.

We ordered 4 varieties of tamales, the blue talyruda, and torta. It was all quite mild and they barely give you enough salsa. The only thing good was the hibiscus Agua fresca and the Mexican coke.

Great food, amazing coffee! Super helpful and nice staff.
My friend likes to say he didn’t like tamales until he went to Café de la Olla, now he’s OBSESSED; must try in here!

Café de Olla offers an authentic Mexican experience that’s hard to beat. Their tamales are a must-try—packed with great flavors and just the right amount of spice. At about $6 each, they’re worth every penny. The texture is perfect, and the filling is always generous. If you’re looking for a place that delivers on both taste and value, this is it. Highly recommended!

This place represents everything that is great about the Mission. It delivers world class, authentic Oaxacan food in a cool, hip and quirky cafe setting with a sustainability theme. My first taste in this cafe came from the michelada, which was absolutely sublime and spiced to perfection. The next was the chicken mole tamale and it blew my mind. It definitely was the best mole I’ve had in my life to this point. The last was the beef tlayuda, and it was absolutely delightful also. Make sure you give this place a try when you’re in the mission. It’s a a must stop by place.
