Bravado, Italian Coffee Bar and Lounge

It was perfectly good. Close to the ball park.

Love this spot! Everyone is very nice, complimentary, and knowledgeable of the menu. It’s very clean and upscale compared to other coffee shops-​white leather seats with a chic vibe. They have flavored cappuccinos and other fancy milk/​espresso drinks. Their breakfast sandwich is bomb! It’s made with dutch crunch bread. It’s really big, too-​can definitely share it. It also always smells delicious in the morning. And there’s wine and champagne-​win win! I’ve never had to wait long.

Fancy digs, cool friendly staff, and some tasty drinks. They also serve some less common coffee concoctions (or at least under less commonly used monikers), like the «shakarado», «fraspuccio», and «paspuccio». You can get yourself a proper meal here, too, but I haven’t tried those stuffs yet.
Not crowded at all during weekday mornings after 9. Using wifi needs an email/​fb/​google account; speeds one morning were 8 down /​3.5 up. Power strips are present along the base of one of the walls, which were nice to see. Definitely a good place for work or a chat!

Bravo for Bravado! Met a friend for lunch and ordered the chicken pesto wrap that was grilled to a deliciously crispy bite. Décor is clean and very tasteful modern. Loose leaf tea offering very nice. If you are looking for delicious food, comfy chairs, nice ambiance and great service Bravado is your place

Everything you could ask for in a coffeeshop:
— Wifi is fast, free and reliable
— Chairs are comfortable and plentiful
— Drinks (both coffee and tea) are delicious!
This is one of my favorite places to come work in the city. I wish they were open later/​served food on the weekends, but I still come here all the time :)

I love this place. The ambiance is wonderful — super cool décor and comfy tables/​chairs. Atmosphere is calm and usually not too loud/​crowded, which is conducive to working. They also have super fast free wifi — definitely a plus!
The service here is nothing short of awesome! The baristas are all super friendly and make an active effort to make you feel welcome.
The coffee and food here do not disappoint! Their cappuccino is spot on, I probably drop by here 2 – 3 times a week just to enjoy one.
Definitely recommend this spot!

We stop here for a beer and a bite every Giants game. It’s a great modern space, elegant but laid back. Surprisingly sophisticated food choices.

Why can’t this place exist where I live (Sac)?! As a freelance designer, I enjoy the benefit of working while traveling. When I’m working in SF, again… there’s no doubt I’m going here.
The staff was immediately warm, welcoming and helpful. The space was calm and not too loud or crowded. We could tell all the customers were repeats as the staff seemed to know their names and catch up with them in a warm but unobtrusive way. All the customers seem ed to have one thing in common: they were getting things done, relaxed, enjoying some lovely drinks and maybe the company of clients or coworkers. If you’re into that work environment, like I am: this is your place.
The staff could probably see my husband and I were new to the concept of a coffee bar/​lounge and patiently and proudly walked us through their menu. They were quick to give props to local businesses when I was hungry and their kitchen was closed and also when they were closing and we were interested in burning more time somewhere before hitting traffic. The space was relaxing, luxe and modern– a great space to feel inspired and to feel like I’m cranking out excellent design work. The selection of wine and specialty coffee drinks was also very lovely.

Undercover hip and chic spot across from the ballpark for when the Giants just don’t provide enough adrenalin– just drink a double espresso and you are good to go. An Italian friend of mine loves this spot which is an endorsement good enough for just about anyone so if you are in the mood or need I suggest a visit. They also sever lunch and breakie.

Walking into Bravado and I feel like I’ve entered a spa! It’s calm and relaxing atmosphere is a welcome change from typical overcrowded, loud coffee shops. The music, the art work, the furnishings all contribute to the experience. The coffees are prepared properly in the European style one rarely gets these days. The breakfast omelettes are delicious! Fresh veggies, pastries to die for. And I haven’t even commented on the staff. They are all friendly and welcoming helping to maintain that spa-​like ambiance. If you are near AT&T Park and want a place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee, be sure to stop in and enjoy!

Lovely and cozy little spot. I arrived at around 09:30 and the dim lights with the natural sunlight was euphoric. I ordered the yogurt parfait and the mokkaccino (excise my mispell). The coffee was delicious and it hit the spot quite well. The parfait was fresh and was a good amount. The music was delightful and overall a great spot. The service was amazing as well. Definitely a place to return to when in town.

My fraternity hosted a private event here and we could not have been more pleased. The décor is beautiful, the staff was very friendly, and the food was presented very attractively. We will definitely use Bravado for events in the future!

Décor is modern posh, lots of indoor seating and quiet and comfortable enough for casual conversation. The barista forgot about my pour over coffee but apologetically and kindly made a new one. Coffee was mild, just palatable.

Great breakfast sandwiches! Huge! Awesome! The service was superb. The coffee even better.
Already making plans to come back…

Stopped for beers before Giants game on a weekend. They have nice clean modern décor inside and there is a patio area on the outside. I ordered apocalypse beer that I didn’t like too much but the employee that he led me out was really friendly. Would definitely recommend esp with $ 20 pitcher special.

Really meaty pastrami sandwich! They offer smoothies, coffees and decorated lattes.
Outside seating is offered.
A nice café shop that is conveniently located across the AT&T ballpark stadium.
There’s too much competition for business, such as Starbucks, Philz, Safeway and other restaurants in this area competing for business.

Overall: The perfect spot for studying, families, anyone (even hipsters).
I love this place. The staff is super friendly and accommodating.
Space: 5 stars. They have comfy benches and chairs with pillows, beautiful tables to allow plenty of working space and an overall relaxed environment. Its one of the few coffee houses in SOMA that don’t have the warehouse setup.
Staff: 5 stars. Again, super friendly and are happy to help with customer requests.
Beverages: 5 stars. I’ve only ordered cold brew here but they have a nice selection of beers on tap, cider and bubbles.
Tip: they do not serve food on the weekends. I haven’t had any food yet but they have a variety of pastries and on the weekdays have salads and sandwiches.

It pains me to write this, which is why I won’t give it the one star it deserves, but maybe some tough love can encourage improvement.
I came here immediately before a ballgame, looking for an unpopular place where I could have an honest beer quiet conversation and no security inspection hassle. That’s my style, in a crowded place I look for the worst bar in sight, I found it. Unlike the truly nasty secret hideouts, like Sinbad’s, which achieves its unpopular status through carpet mold and fear of food poisoning, Bravado scares you off with painful awkwardness, a cheerful sadness.
The place is sincere, kind, the staff (who appear to be the owners, or friends of them) are in a good mood. But nearly everything here was misguided and disjoint, from the beer selection to the interior decoration to the music selection. When I arrived they were playing «Highway to the Danger Zone», when I left it was «We built this City on Rock and Roll», scientifically proven to be the worst rock song of all time. Meanwhile, hapless out of town visitors were flopped out on the furniture lamenting their failure to score a baseball ticket.
Despite a sandwich board promise of chicken wings and other savory snacks, there was none in sight, just a few leftover pastries from the morning. I can tell from the design that they’re trying hard, just clueless about it (and I’m no design hero). there are uplights, flowers, all kinds of things. They have a really cool Italian light fixture hanging from the ceiling that won a bunch of design awards and you can buy on Design Within Reach for many hundreds of dollars I think. That would be nice, but they have a clutch of eight or ten of them arrayed inartfully next to each other, whic kills the mood. Interior decorating-​wise, it’s kind of like, one unicorn and one rainbow — good. Ten unicorns in an overcrowded pen hiding in fear of the wrath of rainbow — not so good.
I think they need an Italian coffee intervention, at least based on the baseball game day offerings. I hear my friends who really love their coffee, so sorry if I offend.

This place is awesome. I was just expecting a classic coffee shop that was ‘okay’…whelp. I was wrong. Their coffee kicked Philz’s butt out the door and around the corner.
The 24-​hour iced-​coffee knocked me on my butt, it was so strong (I was warned), but it was absolutely phenomenal. Apparently they make one batch per day — so if you snooze, you lose!
The shop is really cute with such a relaxing atmosphere. The customer service was such a bonus — the two gentlemen behind the coffee bar went out of their way to be super friendly and helpful with the menu.
I saw some wraps go past and they looked SO good. I’ll definitely be coming back for some food to go with my über-​strong coffee next time!

Super cute coffee shop with the cutest baristas, those Vietnamese guys always smiling and very friendly who prepare the best coffee and better than expected sandwiches. Pizza was not something to dream about, but there was a lack of places opened went we visited, so that killed the hunger of the moment. I like the mellow vibe and the mix of coffes-​shop, bar-​lounge. Nice blend.

This place has it all.
First of all, there’s good coffee. They use Italian coffee instead of locally roasted. But you can get Blue Bottle or Ritual at a number of small shops in the neighborhood.
Next, they have a great, comfortable space. You can get some work done or have a chat with some friends. It’s all the comfort of the big chains, but without the chain.
They are laptop friendly. Lots of outlets, great WiFi and fast internet (with no expirations).
The food is good. They even have a few veggie options. The desserts are even better, especially the bread pudding.
Finally, the staff are friendly and helpful. They are willing to do what they can to meet your needs.
Its great having a nice space with good food and great coffee in the neighborhood. It’s like my second home office…
