"I visited Bella Cafe recently and had a genuinely lovely experience. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and welcoming, making it a great spot for catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet moment alone. The interior is tastefully decorated, with comfortable seating and soft music that doesn’t overpower conversation. I ordered a cappuccino and a croissant, and both exceeded my expectations. The coffee was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced, clearly made with quality beans. The croissant was fresh, flaky, and buttery, tasting like it came straight from a bakery. Service was another highlight of my visit. The staff were friendly, attentive, and patient, taking time to explain menu options and make recommendations. My order came out quickly, even though the cafe was fairly busy at the time. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes you receive. Overall, Bella Cafe is a wonderful place to relax, enjoy great coffee, and feel genuinely welcomed. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable neighborhood cafe with charm, and consistent quality keeps me coming back again."

"My favorite union Square lunch place. Bella Café is such a hidden gem! The La Traviata sandwich is insanely good; fresh ingredients and tons of flavor. The Italian pastries and desserts all look amazing (and taste just as good!). Super dog-friendly spot with the nicest, most welcoming family-run team. You can really feel the love here."

"My friend and I discovered this charming cafe a few days ago. It is tucked away in a little corridor which adds to its charm. Today I went and ordered an americano. They even brought me a personal container of oat milk. I ordered a sandwich with mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil, and it was wonderful. One of the young men who was working came and poured me a glass of water at my table, and left a pitcher if I needed more. This is an authentic Italian cafe. The owner walked me through the different sandwich options and explained things to me. Everyone I spoke to was so kind, helpful, and friendly. I loved the coziness and authenticity of this cafe. A true gem!!"

"Quiet, charming cafe. You might miss walking down Geary St. If you don't glance down the slate laid alleyway. Well selected panini and dessert offerings. They serve Illy coffee for those who miss the financial district location. Daniel, the barista is as charming as he is capable and handsome. The staff is warm and inviting as is the space itself. Nestled away from the general hum of Union Square."

"Bella Café is an absolute gem in San Francisco! I stopped in for a coffee and was blown away by how good everything was. The Illy coffee is excellent—smooth, rich, and perfectly made. My cappuccino was one of the best I’ve had anywhere. I also tried their antipasto plate, and it was outstanding. Freshly sliced meats rolled and plated beautifully with roasted peppers, olives, grapes, basil, and shaved Parmesan. Everything tasted fresh and authentic, like something you’d get in a little Italian café. The dessert case is a showstopper. Each pastry looks like it belongs in a bakery window in Europe. I had a lemon tart, and it was perfectly balanced—tangy, sweet, and light. Next time I’ll definitely try more of their pastries because they all looked amazing. The café itself is clean, modern, and comfortable, with a relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being pushy. Whether you’re looking for a quick espresso, a light lunch, or a beautiful dessert, Bella Café delivers. Easily my new favorite café in San Francisco, and I’ll be coming back every chance I get. Highly recommend!"
