the acai bowls (any of them) are gasssss I came to Pebbles for the first time with a friend who suggested we go for a coffee&breakfast, and we got an açaí bowl and some pao de quejo to split. wonderful place for a wonderful fall morning with a friend

For my Brazilian people in the Bay, this place is BRAZILIAN OWNED and they make their own malagueta house sauce which is actually perfect with their empadas. They even have vegeterian empadas with palmito (heart of palm) and cheese, as well as tomate seco (sundried tomato) and cheese. Don't miss out on their variety of Açaí bowls named after Fútbol's greats like Marta and Neymar. This is a family run business of lovely people who make you feel right at home! The space is cozy, and really close to bart, or perfect for a snack after a hike through the Glen Park Canyon!

Do yourself a favor and get one of the authentic açaí bowls here. Marcelo and Claudio run this warm, inviting Brazilian cafe and offer great conversation and delicious treats (açaí is a must-have, try a coxinha for something savory). Glen Park is lucky to have them.

Super delicious Brazilian savory pastries, and very good, strong coffee. A real gem in Glen Park.

I adore this place. Authentic, delicious Brazilian breakfast. Try their Neymar Bowl and sub strawberries for bananas. YUM! Always friendly and often include a cute note on the outside of the bag. Great biz doing it right!

Delicious Brazilian chicken pie and hot almond latte, what a wonderful way to start the day! Definitely recommend Pebbles Cafe!

Pebbles is so amazing! I got a Turkey, avocado, tomato bagel and added plain cream cheese. It's one of the best bagels I've ever had. The cream cheese was cold while the bagel was freshly toasted so the flavors and temperatures of the ingredients contrasted really well. The bagel did feel a little small, but with some coffee or a drink, I think it'd be really filling. I kind of preferred that it's not super gigantic or hard to eat and it's a manageable portion even though I could've eaten a little bit more. Overall, it was really good and the ingredients tasted really fresh. Also, the cashier is so kind and respectful whenever I've talked to them. The service is really fast and speedy and I feel like the price point is comparable to other bagel places, and a lot cheaper than ordering a bagel online through door dash or Grubhub. Definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area.

A first impression is so important and not just on a blind date. I went on a blind date when I was a confused teenager and still remember how she used a toothpick to clean her teeth. And she wasn't even finished with her Happy Meal. But I digress as I thought this Glen Park business just served coffee and other generic lunch items that any number of coffee spots do all over the city. However, what I wasn't aware of until my third visit was that it's really a Brazilian cafe in disguise. Gee, I didn't think I needed a mural of Carmen Miranda to let me know that, and I was perfectly content with the Low Fat Mocha I've ordered on my previous visits (photo: https://bit.ly/3L7mmv0). The Brazilian part of the menu is hidden under the Featured Items section and more prominently in the wide variety of Brazilian acai bowls they offer. The featured items include dim sum-like items like coxinha (shredded chicken and cheese stuffed in a deep-fried dough) and empadas (chicken and vegetarian pie options). On my latest visit, I actually tried the $3 Pao de Queijo (Cheese Bread) which got me a pair of piping hot balls with gooey cheese inside (photo: https://bit.ly/3rHdowx). I also tried the $8.50 Pebbles Salad, which was a nice plateful of freshness with Mixed greens, cucumber, tomato, bacon, turkey, hard-boiled egg, and avocado slices (photo: https://bit.ly/3OtupnE). It was accompanied by an Italian dressing which it frankly didn't need. It took three visits, but I finally know there's more than coffee served here. FOOD - 4 stars...tasty stuff with a Brazilian accent AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...honestly looks like a coffee spot to me but at least with tables SERVICE - 4.5 stars...always friendly and forthcoming TOTAL - 4 stars...coming back for more Brazilian treats as well as the coffee RELATED - Exploring the Outer Mission? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/37B1acE

COVID-19 TAKEOUT Some people get their panties wet with the new new, the hot and new, instagrammable walls, opulent chandeliers, aesthetics, and/or hype. *RAISES HAND* So, we may ignore/overlook local businesses without the photogenic plates and drinks, and aesthetic goals. I'm guilty of this. I live nearby and for years, I've passed by Pebbles Cafe but never stepped foot inside because I thought it was your run-of-the-mill, neighborhood cafe. I had no clue they serve Brazilian Salgadinhos until I recently saw them listed on a 3rd party delivery app. After my nearby appointment, I popped into Pebbles Cafe to grab some Brazilian Salgadinhos. They're offering takeout, delivery, and dine-in (several small tables). No outdoor seating. M E N U * Brazilian Salgadinhos (kept in warmer): Coxinha, Kibe, Empada, and Pão de Queijo * Açaí bowls * Bagels * American breakfast and lunch sandwiches * Salads * Smoothies * Coffee & Tea B R A Z I L I A N S A L G A D I N H O S ***Items listed from fav to least fav * Coxinha: Brazilian Chicken Croquette ($4) Best item of the four! The coxinha was still warm by the time I got home and settled in. The fried dough was crunchy and generously filled with a creamy, savory chicken filling. Delicious and satisfying. GET THIS! * Chicken Empada ($4) Baked Brazilian "empanada" with a similar filling to the Coxinha but with the addition of corn and olives. Pair it with a small salad at home, and you have yourself a meal. If you're extra hangry, two empadas should do. Beef empada also available. * Pão de Queijo: Brazilian Cheese Bread (2 pc - $2.50) While they were still warm, I ate one in the car before driving home. Hard and sturdy crust with a mochi-like chewy center. Good salty cheese flavor but denser than my preference. Available by pairs only. * Kibe: Brazilian Beef Croquette ($4) Got the last one in the warmer so I was happy about that until I tasted it. I think it had been sitting in the warmer for awhile, as the bulgur exterior was hard and ground beef filling was dry. I'm sure if I came before noon, it would have been fresher. Make sure to ask for hot sauce for dipping! S E R V I C E The guy who helped me wasn't the friendliest but hey, it was a Monday. I'm kicking myself for sleeping on Pebbles Cafe all these years. It's a nice gem in the neighborhood that's worth the pit stop for Brazilian Salgadinhos!
