Incredible international vegan cuisine! - Edit
Located in downtown South San Francisco. This adorable and artsy vegan restaurant is a must for any local or passerby. Right off the 101 and nessled in an adorable building on Grand Ave. This is a must stop location. I regret we haven't come here sooner and we will absolutely be back on a regular basis. The vegan brunch menu was to die for. My husband tried the all too real eggs Benedict. I went for the wet burrito, and to round it out the jalapeno poppers. The food was great, the atmosphere was pleasant and welcoming. Overall had a wonderful experience and will be coming back.

Really loved it - Edit
Wasn’t sure what to expect. Reviews seem mixed. We loved it, staff was kind, the patio was awesome and our food was really wonderful! I never know what to order at a vegan place - too many choices and staff was so helpful! I’m excited to come back again 💗

Excellent vegan beef - Edit
This chef is clearly a very skilled "mad scientist" maker of plant-based meats (my kind of dude!). My wet beef burrito was great, and the BBQ "pork belly" the couple across from me were eating looked even better. He seems to be the creator who supplies ingredients to some other vegan restaurants in the area. Come to the source!

Bland - Edit
Cool environment but completely bland food. Philippine Sisig and Northern African Lamb Kebab barely had different flavors from one another. Lumpia was very disappointing compared to the other ones I've tried in the bay. Needs way more flavor in everything

Vegan Brunch - Edit
Nice little spot in South San Francisco. The menu says that it’s vegan international cuisine, but to me there’s a lot going on. We ordered some appetizers as well as brunch. We started off with the jalapeño poppers and lumpia. The jalapeño poppers were really good. The lumpia was just okay. I ordered the eggs benedict, which was really delicious. I was very impressed with it and the runny “egg.” My husband ordered the pancakes, which were great as well.
Read moreThe restaurant space was really nice and they have an outdoor seating area in the back, where they have live music at times.
We enjoyed the brunch, we have yet to try the lunch/dinner menu.

Don’t understand the hype - Edit
I’ve been looking forward to trying this place as it has great reviews but I left confused and not understanding the hype.
Read moreWe ordered the chicken and waffles and omelette. Everything they used was just premade ingredients thrown together that anyone could do at home. The waffle was burnt and fries were not cooked fully. The chicken was disgusting and had absolutely no flavor or seasoning with a weird texture.
The breakfast potatoes were so overcooked half of them were almost black and the cheese in my omelette tasted plastic as well.
The prices were very high for the quality of the food and the staff said about two words to us the entire time we were there.
Inside looked like it was filled with someone’s old household items stored in their garage and there was dust everywhere. The place needed a good cleaning.
This place was a definite miss and I felt really sad and disappointed after leaving.

Delicious and filling 🍗🧇 - Edit
The savory chicken and waffle sandwich was out of control good! The portions were generous and I had to take half of it home. Looking forward to trying one of their just egg omelettes next time.
Read moreOne con was that there were quite a bit of fruit flies buzzing around while we ate, and one even died on my plate.

Absolutely mind blowing!! - Edit
I’ve never had a vegan breakfast this good. We got eggs Benedict and chicken and waffles. The eggs Benedict was so good I thought it wasn’t vegan for a second until I remembered we’re at an all vegan restaurant! Try it!!! 20/10

Great 1st try for vegan only - Edit
So nice to have a completely vegan restaurant nearby. Got takeout and not disappointed. Server made sure I got the correct order & gave me a cup to fill for hot sauce from dozens to chose from. Ordered Philippine sisig & portobello Argentina Chimichurri. Generous serving size, great flavor. Worth every penny. We generally aren't fans of faux meat but the sisig had a great texture/chew. Great rice & spinach saag like The chimichurrri was not as spicy as I was expecting which pleased me. Lots of garlic. Mashed potatoes were not overly mashed, also how I like them! Asparagus was cooked perfectly, al dente. Looking forward to eating in.
Read morePros: excellent menu & food, helpful staff, good value for high quality food

Bland food - Edit
Nice team, great ambience and great live music, however, the food was very bland and what ppl who are not vegan frequently associate with “boring vegan diet”. Lack of spice in both Indians and Argentinian foods. The only thing that was spicy was jalapeños. Giving 1 star for jalapeños. Unfortunately, the lack of taste was overwhelming. Both indian and Argentinian plates tasted about the same. In addition, there was a hair in the samosas

Fair but not not a destination restaurant - Edit
I've been to Sky Cafe twice -- here's my story:
Read moreVisit 1 - Saturday morning. Greeted by the owner, front dining room was empty, so I scored a seat by the window. I ordered mimosa and french toast. My only complaint about the french toast is that it was way too sweet -- next time, I'll ask them to NOT use sugar to caramelize the bananas but it was otherwise very tasty an well worth a visit.
Visit 2 - Friday morning around 11am (not a holiday) - the place was packed, Owner was not on site, but a young woman and middle aged man were doing table service. I thought I'd keep it simple since they were busy and waited 46 minutes for a BLT sandwich that was dry and disappointing. The french fries were overcooked and the bread was "meh" -- I can't even imagine how one might screw up something as simple as a BLT. It costs $15 -- the same as Vegan Butcher's Son "Killer BLAT" -- and while I certainly didn't expect the Vegan Butcher's Son "Killer BLAT" but this was definitely NOT a $15 sandwich, and service was really poor.
Next time I go in and see the restaurant packed with very few people actually eating food (mostly waiting) -- I'll probably go elsewhere.
Pros: Vegan french toast!
Cons: Uneven customer service, Expensive sandwich that was mostly bread & flavorl

Jack of all vegan food - Edit
we went here on Mother’s Day and don't know if my experience was an everyday thing. It took us almost an hr to get our order. Left feeling the place could be better managed. The ceviche and lumpia were ok but loved the spinach omelette. Even with this experience, I would still go here and maybe try more of the omelettes, pancakes and french toast..may be stick to the diner fare.
Read morePros: vegan omelet was good , all vegan is always the best, staff is courteous
Cons: long wait time, not everything is to write home about

Live music and great food - Edit
Came here on a Thursday night (live music night) after work with some friends and the vibe was immaculate. Not only was the food AMAZING but the music was great too. Anyone can jam with the band which I liked. And the mashed potatoes and veggies were seasoned perfectly. Overall 5 star and will be coming here again!
