About this business

The Giotta family opened this charming cafe in the 1950s, making it the first espresso bar on the West Coast. Now, it is a North Beach staple with its polished wood surfaces and celebrity-photograph-lined walls. You'll get the feeling that if Chris Isaac, Bill Cosby and Tony Bennett are loyal customers, you should be too. Along with excellent coffee and homemade cuisine, enjoy the live music; several family members and a boatload of regulars are professional singers.

Warm coffee bar, ok food Caffe Trieste is in my neighborhood and almost always packed. I can only imagine that it's a draw for the atmosphere because there's usually a long line to wait in and the tables are super cramped together. Somehow everyone seems to be having a good time though..

Best Italian Coffee in North Beach This historic coffee house has been a North Beach fixture for over 50 years. This is where the local San Francisco writers and poets still hang out, having a coffee in the sunshine, playing guitar and singing along. There is a wide choice of coffees and the Trieste has its own brand of beans. The regular coffee with aerated milk is perhaps the best. Opens early morning for breakfast and remains open till late night. PROS: Local ambience CONS:
