First and foremost I just want to say wow. They employees were polite and friendly, the selection of items availabe was very good and the prices were incredible. We were staying a half block up and I noticed a chain coffehouse across the street which I normally would go to but love smaller establishments when I get the chance to enjoy them. So we popped in and were not disappointed. We had coffee drinks which were made promptly and a sandwich which was to die for. It was the Proscuitto sandwich with fresh milk mozzarella, basil oil fresh lettuce and tomato. It was extremely yummy. They also carried "chips" which were lower in calorie and fat grams as well as non-fat soft serve yogurt. You can't always find things like these when you are looking for a quick bite so it was greatly appreciated.

I literally JUST tried this place for lunch today and it is spectacular. I got there at 11:50 and there were only two other people there which was great. Get there before noon if you can. Even if it's like... a minute before. I got the California melt, and it was literally one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Wouldn't change a thing. $8 with tax but worth every single penny. Delicious and large. I've only eaten half so far, but I think I may need to polish it off so it doesn't smell up my purse on the way home... ha.

Oooooo weeeeee, this place has great specialty sandwiches. The last one I tried was Pesto Chicken and it was to die for! They also have great Chai Tea, better than Starbucks in my opinion.

Brandon P.

Awesome sandwiches! The variety of choices was unbelievable, 22 specialty sandwiches, and about 10 standard sandwiches, all under $8. We had the red snapper and Thai chicken sandwiches, witch was way more food then we could eat. I wish we could take this place back home to Seattle with us!

The salmon Fillet sandwich is really good

Tried the BBQ pork sandwich, ultra delicious and very nice soft sesame roll! Warm, delicious, just fantabulous....itching to try the spicy chicken sandwich or the bagel.... Update 3/25: My bf tried the Proscuitto - proscuitto, basel, tomato, mozarella with balsamico on toasted warm roll....mmmm.....

Not bad for a quick stop, Had the california melt. now dont get me wrong but i thought with anything with the name California you would think Healthy. Why is there always bacon ? any way good sandwich, a little greasy but palatable.

great option for sandwiches for a fidi lunch. portions are huge. i usually just got for a deli sandwich but their specialty sandwiches are pretty good. they also have a frozen yogurt machines with decent flavors (cookies and cream, peanut butter).
(4)
Sahra H.

The bread here is SOOOO good, especially if you like lots and lots of sesame seeds nestled into a crusty roll. Yum! My California melt was definitely substantial and filling. BTW, I am erring on the side of 4 stars, even though in my mind it's really a 3.5-er.

I can't speak for the other Working Girls' around the city but this one is my go to spot for lunch. One of my all time fav sandwich shops. I usually get down with the Meat loaf, Chicken Parm, Pesto Chicken, or a straight up BLT. Salads are great too. Friendly people... the kind that remember you and say things like "Hows it going boss?" Only downside is it can get pricey if you make it a habit.

#3 with Turkey breakfast bagel is the best! YUM! I love the fact they have selections with no eggs from the get go... Their sandwiches are yummy too. I love the Italian when I am feeling like I need some eats... And the yogurt with fruit hits the spot when I am running late in the mornings. I have never encountered rudeness here... I wonder who they are talking about. There is a guy there that looks like he is a manager or something... he has always been nice to me and when they took forever on an order he even offered me some free stuff... but I know how it is during rush hour... but that was a kind gesture. The minus 1 star is for price and for the long amount of time it seems to take to get an order... it is a tad bit pricey... but hey... I rather go here than McDonald's!

i don't know anywhere you can still get a medium size mocha for $2.75. wait, I'm sorry, i meant a LARGE (the sizes here go: regular, large, XL) and i even order it the way i do at starfucks (skim xtra hot 2 splenda light on the whip) and they get it right EVERYtime. the ladies in front are always charming and prompt in the morning when i lounge around for about 30 minutes before work starts. and during lunch when i go in for a thick prosciutto sandwich (with fresh mozzarella, balsamic vinegar and olive oil) or a crisp greek salad (tons of goat cheese and kalmata olives) they rush order and have my sugar free redbull On t he side to go!! prices are amazing considering the quality and amount u get and there are TONS of choices on the menu to choose from. a girl needs another option then spam musubi sometimes....

I've just moved here and walk around looking for lunch. I came by Working Girls. So far, it's been fast and to the point. Yet, not looking for anything else but something at least ok food and fast . I do have to say that I really have enjoyed the food more than I thought. Price is not bad and food is worth the money. I'll be going there again.

PictureGirl F.

It's all about the California Melt Sandwich. Very tasty. The ordering line moves fast and the folks behind the counter are super speedy at making orders as well. I haven't had any of the other sandwiches, but most of the salads are good. Very large portions. This place is on the regular, weekday lunch rotation.

This is absolutely the best cafe in the downtown/financial district for lunch. A bit pricey, but not OVERpriced...WG always serves up the freshest ingredients at perfect serving sizes. I love the soups - their corn chowder is delish! And on a warm day, nothing beats their frozen yogurt! Chocolate & Vanilla are staples, and they always have a fruit flavor of the day... And I second that about them treating you like royalty if you are a regular...yumm yumm!

Jamie G.

I've been going here daily for about a month, and the guys that work here are so personable and great to chat with. Plus they ask me about work and school every morning. I've only gotten one thing... whole wheat bagel with tomato basil cream cheese. The bagel + friendly chit chat= 5 stars.

I work in the building right next door, and one of my coworkers and I decided to go there to get a breakfast sandwich. We get there and the main guy that works there wasn't very friendly towards us, but I'm use to that so it didn't phase me. Well we get our sandwiches and head back to our office and discover unwanted items inside of them. We bring them back and one of the other workers take ours sandwich and we tell the cashier guy and he tells us we are lying, and it becomes a mess. We get the number and name of the manager and complained. She gave us each 20 dollar gift certificates. Why is it they still give that to you when you say you will never eat there again!

Found this lil hot spot many years ago ... when in need of some good comfort food this is the place. The Prosciutto Sandwich --- oh yummmmmy! Be forewarned this place gets crowded so either phone your order in or get there early.

Lisa R.

All I have to say is the Caprese Salad with chicken is one YUMMY salad! If you have ever wondered what Italy would taste like on a salad - this is it!!! The place has no A/C, so you might want to get it to go on those warm afternoons. Another con is that this salad will cost you about 9 bucks. Overall, this salad is definitely something you have to try.

I had the unfortunate pleasure of working on Christmas Eve this year; shouldn't people be spending time at home with their families, driving each other crazy? Whatever no point in complaining about it, some view profit before people and I happen to work for a company that does exactly that. Anyway, as I was looking for a quick bit to eat with a coworker around 5pm in the Financial District, which is pretty hard; I mean it is hard enough finding a place open after 3 pm apart from Subway but today Subway was already closed; I came across Working Girl Cafe. It was the first place that I saw open (well the second; there was a pizza place that didn't look very appetizing), so I went in and ordered their Pesto Chicken Sandwich which was amazing and only $7.95. I'm hooked! And my coworker had a Tuna Sandwich, which she devoured! They also serve frozen yogurt and not the healthy tarty kind but the sweet and creamy kind, that sabotage the 5 lbs I just lost. So I had to restrain myself but this will give me an excuse to go another time! But I did get a good cookie. Great service!

I finally got around to trying this place during my last week in SF. Now I'm wondering why I waited so long! This place is really tasty & very affordable. I had the California Melt sandwich and loved it. I was too stuffed to try the Red Velvet Froyo or else I totally would of. Friends I went with had the Cacciatore soup and Chipotle Chicken Salad and they both were very happy.

Great -- really great -- bagel sandwiches. I was addicted to the #2 on a wheat bagel -- smokin' ham that definitely tasted like black forest, two, count 'em two, types of chees, piping hot egg, seriously sweet tomato, and just the slightest sprinkle of herbs. Sadly, I've given them up in favor of a morning yogurt in a futile attempt to save both money and my waistline (or whatever's left of it). However, I still go for a cup of coffee every morning, which is only $1.50 for a decent-sized large. I've never been for lunch, but the fro-yo's tasty, and there's always a decent selection. I'd maybe be careful with the pastries, though -- there's always a ton, and not sure how often they're refreshed. The folks are always friendly (but what happened to the nice asian girl that used to work there?), and there's always an interesting art school element if you like people watching. There's a serious lack of seating -- although, to be honest, I'm always running late to work anyway. Sucks it's not open on the weekend.

For the price you pay, this place is great. Tax is included on the menu's price, so the price that you see on the menu, is the price that you exactly pay. They make bomb sandwiches and salads. A great place if you are looking something quick during lunch

Cynthia B.

I love this place!! I get the same salad almost everyday here. Greek salad, no onions... dressing on the side. I walk in and they're always friendly and everyone who works there knows my order, thus getting me out the door faster and back to work.

this is my favorite lunch spot! i originally thought coming here would be too far of a walk and it would also mean i'd have to sacrifice lunch in the westfield shopping centre (my excuse to go there and shop as well...). but thankfully i was wrong! we've been able to sit down & have lunch at the cafe and even had time to sneak in a little shopping within the area and still got back to our office within an hour. im impressed. i crave their sandwiches just about every single day, they are THAT good. i really love their sandwiches because they're warm, toasty, and aren't frou-frou with stupid greens & vinagrettes. there are still so many sandwiches i want to try, so far my favorite is the mexicalli sandwich! my only suggestion is to add some sort of vegetable in the chicken parmesan sandwich (basil? lettuce?) because something was missing. the people who work there, work quickly, it's amazing. i really cant emphasize enough how hard they work, even in the busy lunch chaos, they keep checking up on me to say "it's on its way" or "it'll be done soon" --- they work HARD! plus they are very nice and very neat. this is a more grab-n-go type of place, but sometimes we're able to snag one of the outdoor tables. best of all, they offer about 4 flavors of frozen yogurt everyday and it comes in a nice big cup :). please bring back the banana cream flavor because i want to try it out! if i think about what truly deserves five stars, both in service & food, i have to say that this cafe definitely exemplifies their five stars every single day. you have to see them to believe it, they work HARD and their sandwiches are always 100% perfect.

I can't think of another sandwich shop where I can order a prosciutto sandwich and a terayaki chicken sandwich all off one menu. Both are equally delicious.

Mixed Green Salad. So delicious, I forget I'm on a diet. (even without gorgonzola, it is still good!)

This is my favorite place to get some breakfast in the financial district. One caution... do not get egg sandwiches because they are microwaved. Besides that, it is probably the healthiest place to eat in the area. They excellent fresh fruit salads, yogurt and granola and some excellent sandwiches. They offer the cheapest Bagel with Lox (Smoked salmon) that I have seen anywhere else in the city, cheaper then Noah's or anywhere. The moral reasons for why I choose to eat here are numerous. I will not go to Starbucks across the street because it is some huge global chain and why would I waste money there? Why would I eat at subway's next door when I can get some quality ingredients here? This place hires mostly women who probably wouldn't get a job elsewhere. Note the name "Working Girls Cafe". This place is a good service to the community of San Francisco. Besides all that the people that work there are nice and I like to come and support this restaurant!

AhLin C.

A bit expensive, but it is good. The specialty sandwiches are toasted so it's all warm and the cheese are all gooey. A bit pricey, but for $7, it's a fairly big size sandwich. Not much seating for dine in, but it's good nevertheless.

Have been working in the FiDi for a year now and have never had lunch at this eatery, though I've seen many standing around waiting to order/pick up their food. I figured it's popular for a good reason, so last week on my way home from work I realized I had no food in the fridge and was huuuuungry. Walked past Working Girls' Cafe and decided to try it out. Got the Cobb salad. Lordy! It hit the spot! It was so good I went back today, only this time I decided to try the Greek salad. It's good, it's hearty, it's large, it filled me up. Not as good as the Cobb, but still good. Okay, it's official, this place has now become one of my steady lunch eateries.

scott w.

wtf?!?! i read all of these 4 and 5 star reviews and i expected something fantastic. i got the fire roasted pork sandwich. it was ok. i didn't hate it, but i didn't love it either. i just don't get the 4 and 5 stars. come on people? go two doors down to boxed foods and get something a little more interesting and higher quality for about 50 cents more.

Stumbled across it accidentally and didn't realize how popular it was. I just wanted a sandwich and didn't have very high expectations. But I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was!

rukshan b.

This is one of my favorite lunch spots! They always have very fresh salad mixings! My favorite is the Cobb it's big and has a lot of 'extras'. I haven't eaten many of their sandwichs but i stand by their salads.. It does get super busy at about noon but that's natural and the wait isn't ever tremendously long.

Working girls, aka. plain jane's first job. It's an A-OK place to get a Sandwich. Really, just okay. Nothing really special about this place. I don't really know why people think this place is anything great, because a monkey could make these sandwiches. Heck, you can even see them make your sandwich live, nothing you couldn't do yourself. Anyways, this place has sandwiches, soups, and salads. Typical for a financial district lunch venue. Once again, nothing blows my mind. Service is average, staff is ok, decorations on the wall are alright. This place is so average that it makes me angry. Anyways, try the red snapper sandwich, it's probably the best they have. Bottom line: If you are next door, try the snapper, if you're far away go someplace else.

Mark D.

Food was good and the service was quick and excellent. I think their boss was in the customer area, because when I was leaving I heard a quick "Thank you". Their chocolate chip cookie was a little bit on the dry and crumbly side...which is a pretty wimpy complaint. They also serve soft serve ice cream, which I'll save for the next visit.

Each week brings a new opportunity to get the Chipotle Chicken Salad from Working Girls. This is because two years ago, I decided to limit myself to once a week to avoid ODing on its spicy/nacho/salad goodness. It's a filling salad with an addictively tanging dressing and I enjoy every bite! The bagel sandwiches are pretty good for those occasional mornings that call for that sort of thing. The brothers who own the place keep track of their regulars (even me!)

Ginny K.

I like the food at this place a lot. The salmon sandwich is to die for and the greek salad is awesome. There's not much seating and it's usually quite loud so I never eat in, I always take it to go. 3 stars only because the prices are on the high side compared to other nearby lunch spots and because I've been bothered by something I've encountered a few times here - although friendly to customers, the guys who appear to be management types don't seem to pitch in to help the staff much. One day recently the woman who makes the food in the back tried to give one of them my sandwich to bag and pass to me, he looked at her like she was crazy and refused to take the sandwich from her. That kind of bothered me, it was clear that she was really overloaded and he was just standing behind the cash register chatting with the other management type. Maybe I misinterpreted, but I was kind of disturbed by the attitude.
(3)
Sarah L.

Although they recently raised their prices (only a tiny bit $2.25 for a small up from $2 - which was much easier to conjur up on the spot) the frozen yogurt is great with very generous portions and lures me into this little gem on a regular basis. The food is surprisingly good as well for a tiny little cafe.
(4)
Tara M.

I only started going here relatively recently, despite having worked in the area for a while, and it seems like a decent, reliable place get a sandwich. (I only tried a salad once and wasn't thrilled, particularly when it's compared to one from Mixt Greens.) I've recently enjoyed sandwiches with both chicken and turkey from here, although I'm not sure whether the meat was pressed. Fine wheat roll, though, and filling. Fast service.
(4)
Christine W.

I passed this place a million times going to boxed foods or eating at the thai block but today I felt like trying something new. I had the pesto chicken sandwich and it was delicous! Foccacia - toasty yet soft and fresh. Chicken - tender and scrumptious. Can you ever go wrong with pesto? If I could put pesto on desert i would. Add in sundried tomatoes and cheese and you've got yourself a great tasting sandwich. If I was more dainty I would have only ate half and saved the rest for tomorrow but instead I ate the whole thing and wishing that I wore stretchy pants. The only reason I took a star away is because I ordered my sando and it felt like 5 people behind me got their sandwiches first. Would I go again? Definitely!

Jennifer M.

Working Girl Cafe is my fave place for downtown eats like sandwiches and salads. First of all the employees are very nice and cheerful, and the food is fresh and healthy. I think their Greek Salad is outstanding and their vegetarian sandwiches are scrumptious. There is a serious dearth of places like this in the city and this place makes me realize this.
(4)
Ali D.

Amazing customer service. Makes the get-in/get-out for lunch really easy, breezy. The experience here is always wonderful - they know me by name/face and know all my co-workers too. As for the food, all of it is great - I especially love the cobb salad and bagels. Love it.

Debbie L.

Been here once a while back but loved it! I keep meaning to go back but I work in Oakland so it's tough since they aren't open weekends. But the one time I was there, I got a salad which was fresh, very colorful and very tasty!

boys welcome. love this place. The sandwiches are huge and i love the bread, really soft and fresh. They're quick, and moderately priced for the size of the sandwich you get.

OK, two words: Prosciutto Sandwich. It's the first one listed on their wall menu, so it must be a good seller, and for a good reason. Warm prosciutto (italian thin sliced ham) on a toasted baquette type bread with mozarella, a few other goodies and lots of red vinaigrette. Wow. On my first day back to work in SF in a year (had been commuting), this reminded me why I love it here so much; great food everywhere, and this is one more to add to the list.

I consider myself quite lucky to work in the same building as the Working Girls at Kearny and Bush. Chewy bagels, super friendly employees, and sandwiches that are, magically, invariably delicious. Plus, they're always willing to substitute and customize. I'm not an ice cream fan, but my co-workers swear by their frozen yogurt.
(4)
E.Mo. ..

This shall be the first in my reviews from a catering experience. I work in a firm, and either provide for or attend many meetings that require lunch delivery. Working girl is a bit overpriced for a sandwich, and the'yre usually never ever deliver when they say they're going to, but they are uber-friendly, quite accomodating, and always throw in extras. I'll continue to order from them, as they also have a plethora of sandwiches to chose from. Even your most finicky can find something appealing here.

Laurie A.

I hate that I have discovered this place! Not a dieters friend....their mixed spring salad is just spilling over with crunchy walnuts and tangy blue cheese- so delish! But my achilles heel is the caprese sandwich. It's my fav sandwich, hands down. I'm not sure I can talk about this because I may become overly excited....a toasted bagette is spread with a perfect basalmic vinagerette, topped with thick slabs of fresh, milky mozzarella, sliced red tomato and a healthy pile of basil leaves. Viva Italia! So simple, yet sumptuous. Can a sammie be sumptuous? Yes, it can!

Rachel M.

they have a great prosciutto sandwich -- so simple yet delicious. i love it on lightly-toasted ciabatta. also, the people are friendly and quick. great place to grab lunch!

James J.

Finally a place that knows how to make a salad right. Sure they charge you almost 9 bucks for it (A salad....lettuce?!?!?) but let me tell you something San Francisco. It's hard to find a decent salad and I will make sure that my salad money goes to this place just so that I can do my part in ensuring that this place stays in business. Try the Greek, it's fucking BOMB!
(4)
Stacy M.

I just stumbled along this place and remember reading pretty good reviews of it on yelp, but I wasn't too impressed with the Chipotle Chicken Salad. I thought that the lettuce was a little wilted and it tasted very mediocre. I ended up throwing most of it out, except that I was starving. Maybe the sandwhiches are better? The service was great though, friendly and speedy.

I've been eating here for 10 years....... Working girls , we have a love hate relationship. I love my tuna sandwich on sliced wheat. I hate the french rolls and the knots is causes in my tummy. I love the Greek salad. I hate the Greek salad. I love the mixed greens, I hate the mixed greens......I love the ginger cookie....this could take all night. You're always there for me for this you get 4 stars...and your sweet staff...always looking out for us. I know you will always be there for me and for this, you have my devotion.

I had reservations about being seen going into/leaving such an establishment. I wondered if there would be men hanging around the doorway offering me $$ to suck them off, when all I really wanted was lunch. So, after casing the joint for awhile and not seeing any johns I took the plunge and got a really big and reasonably priced salad. Been back a few times with no problem. I hear their sandwiches are tasty, but I prefer some greens in the afternoon.

massive yummy salads -- there really is no need to order a large, the smalls are HUGE! great chinese chicken salad, greek salad (my coworker swears by it, with no onions), and more.

How could I miss this place?? Sandwiches are toasty, juicy, scrumptious and delectable. Salads are incredibly huge. If you order salad with chicken, it comes with huge chicken breast. They are not stingy with the food at all. They got so many unique specialty sandwiches like top meat loaf, fillet of salmon, bbq chicken parmesan, and california melt. I don't think you could find these sandwiches at other places. My favorite is teriyaki chicken breast. Thinking about it already makes me melt! I think once you get hooked to this place, you can never leave. Good Luck!

Working Girls, you rock! The service is always perfect, the food is good and fast, and the price is right. I also use WG for phone/fax ahead orders for up to eleven people and they've always come through perfectly. Local people serving up great food with flair: Do you need anything else for lunch?

Working Girls is the best place to grab lunch to go in the financial district. The service is great. While they bark at you sometimes to get your order, they aim to please the customer. Once I forgot to order my salad without dressing and the owner took my old order away and gave me a new order without dressing. Another time, I ordered and realized that I had forgotten my money. The owner made me write him an IOU and told me to pay some other time. Their bagel sandwiches are a fabulous deal. At only $3, you can get an avocado-bacon-egg bagel sandwich. Their salads are great as is their caprese sandwich. My friend loves their lemon-garlic chicken sandwich but I haven't tried it yet. Oh, and their frozen yogurt is great. Sometimes they have cheesecake flavoured fro-yo. Mmmm...

tess from the movie was from staten island. steve, this reviewer, is also from staten island. so this place has that going for it, which is nice. and also the caprese sandwich on wheat roll.

after checking yelp i discovered that this place sells fish sandwiches! this was exciting news since its only a block from my work and i always crave fish. i've been to working girls many times before but i never noticed that they sell fish sandwiches...guess i didnt read the menu too well. the guy who owns the place is cool. the food is good. good salads, sandwiches. the blackened red snapper sandwich was great! it even had avocado and this good dressing yummmmmmm. i also saw that they have salmon sandwiches there. it's a little more than i like to spend on lunch but its the financial district and is actually less than other sandwich places round here. also they have good breakfast sandwiches that are pretty cheap.

Syonora A.

not too much of the fan of their sandwiches, but i do love the chipotle chicken salad..totally fills me up.

Caitlin H.

I'm lucky that this place is just down the block from where I work. And with TWO Starbucks sandwiching it on either corner, I'm glad to see Working Girls' getting good business - they certainly have mine. I usually just grab coffee there, which is always good (and preferable to the crap we have in the office), but the other morning I left home late and needed some breakfast, so I got an egg/tomato/cheese bagel melt. It was simple, but great and kept me full through lunch time (and was only $2.99). I've also had the salmon and grilled chicken sandwiches from Working Girls. Both were good, but I liked the salmon the best - the fish was done perfectly and not too dry and flaky. YUM. The staff is always nice too - I have yet to become recognized as a regular, but there's a guy in my office who practically lives at Working Girls and they treat him very well.
(5)
Keith R.

Working Girls looks out for you. They've always hooked me up there and if you're a regular customer they treat you like royalty. I'm a sucker for their pesto chicken sandwich, but you really can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches.

Kristina G.

Quick service, amazing bagel sandwiches and a decent chai, all for 6 bucks? I need to come back to experience this frozen yogurt next time it is not rainy and cold in the city. When is that again?
(5)
Andrew H.

Simply put, the best greek salad in SF. A lunch place for the downtown working stiff. When I worked there it was only $4.95 too. The dudes that work there were like mega nice too.
(5)
Jon Y.

it's good, but not great. i usually get the italian sub. this place gets PACKED during lunch hour, and sadly, the decrease in performance is super apparent. the margin of quality between my 4pm italian sub and 1pm italian sub (not on the same day, mind you) was pretty large. i find it a little pricey for a sandwich, but it's certainly comfort food.
(4)
Aaron L.

A great local business with a very friendly and efficient staff. The salads are huge and fresh, and the sandwiches will never leave you hungry. Breakfast tends to be their Achilles' heel, but no matter... definitely a place you can walk into and find something you'll want to eat in a pinch.
(4)
Brenna R.

good good good place, the one on montgomery too...yummy soft serve ice cream, although its gets really crowded around lunch time...but duh for the area...but 4 o'clock nice hour for no line and yummy soft serve snack pick me up for the work day!

Amme P.

Simple sandwiches and salads with a fresh, Italian twist. The mixed greens salad with walnuts, goat cheese and balsamic vinagrette is one of my favorites anywhere. Get your food to go and enjoy in the sunshine somewhere.
(4)
Ryan L.

I like the lunchtime menu here. Good, basic sandwiches and salads. The food is fresh and the prices are good. But the ordering process is so haphazard and chaotic. And forget this place on a warm day. The lack of ventilation turns this place into an oven. Good if you want to get a sandwich and hit the sauna at the same time, I suppose.

"When TCBY left my building I didn't know what I was going to do on what we like to call 'yogurt Fridays' I found working girl! All three of them have frozen yogurt and great toppings! Their regular food isn't so bad either."

SL F.

The food was good, the service wasn't. I just got a quick breakfast snack- a donut and fruit cup. I got the food fast and the donut was super fresh, and the fruit was plentiful. But, the woman put the fruit cup, which obviously containted a lot of juice, in one paper bag by itself to let all the juice roll out. I'm glad I sat and ate at the place otherwise I would have had "ground fruit salad" for breakfast. The place seemed a little dirty too. If you want a quick fresh snack, this is the place to go. If you want quality, good service, I'd say don't hold your breath for this place.

i decided to finally try working girls' cafe after 4 years of working in the financial district. i have a major weak spot for prosciutto and mozzarella and tried out special sandwich number one. it pretty much rocked my lunch hour. make sure to get there at 11:59, because the line out the door is intimidating once the full on financial district lunch-crush hits.

Ossama A.

Despite the rather interesting name for a sandwitch place they make some good sandwithces here. Prices are reasonable and they are pretty fast - grab your sandwitch and go. It gets really busy around the lunch time rush.
(4)
Katie H.

this place is scrumptious. they have a very vast variety of breakfast bagel sandwiches, decadent lunch sandwiches, create-your-own sandwiches, and kick ass salads. prices are reasonable and the food is yummy! they have a little room to eat, but i recommend taking your food to go and eat it at union square park.
(5)
Steve S.

I was introduced to Working Girls' a few months ago by a friend at work and have been going regularly ever since. They have a huge list of good sandwiches, many of which are served warm or toasted. My current favorite is the California Melt, which has turkey, avocado, bacon and swiss. Yum, i think I'm going to go there for lunch today.
(4)
David F.

the guys that own and run this joint are cool and fun. they know all their customers, give you a free brownie if you're nice, and are always attentive and fast. the food is phenomenal. great selection of interesting and unique sandwiches and salads.. never takes more than 5 mins to get in and out. prices are on par with downtown sf sandwich lunch spots.. if you are getting a salad, and want to tweak it up a notch - add the black beans and corn to any salad for free... (vegetarian protein at its best).
(5)
Samantha W.

not too shi-shi, not too divey. perfect for a quick lunch with something for everyone on the menu. i've recently become obsessed with this place- partially because the food is good and partially because it is exactly how i imagined working-lunch places in the city would be like.

Cindy L.

i had one of their breakfast item: smoked salmon, cream cheese, tomato, capers, and red onions on choice of bagel. the bagel itself was very burnt, i felt like gnawing on a piece of charcoal. the bagel was also not very sizable. overall it was eh.

Eh. I had the Almond Chicken Salad sandwich, it was just okay. Nothing special. I probably wouldn't go back here, there are much better sandwiches to be had.

i'm lucky to be just a short walk away from here. i love their red snapper sandwich. sometimes the wait is too long but it's definitely the wait! try their peach oola oolong iced tea in a bottle by honest tea. mmm tastes soo good!
(4)
Beth W.

i love their sandwiches. no matter what you order, you can't go wrong. you will not be disappointed. during the weekdays it's obviously crowded for lunch since everyone in the financial district needs to eat. try going on a saturday.

Andrea R.

I must look like I need some protein because the "working girl" behind the counter at Working Girls' Cafe seemed very upset when I ordered my spinach salad sans chicken. Can't a gal just enjoy her veggies without some meat? It's not even supposed to come with chicken! My large spinach salad was very tasty even without the chicken. ;) And I also enjoyed the soft piece of bread that I asked to be served with it...I guess "working girl" didn't think I needed anymore carbs. The perfect quick stop for lunch in SF...and one of the healthier, less expensive lunches I've enjoyed there as well!

Very good hot sandwiches -- try the pesto chicken. The decor isn't much to look at.

Tim P.

"Fire Roast BBQ Pork Sandwich" -- in a word: "pass". I should have realized when they mentioned capers that this was a dicey choice. The "pork" was more specifically "ham", and was not far off a pre-packed Oscar Mayer lunchmeat version. The sauce was watery and of weak flavor. There definitely wasn't any "fire" in this sandwich. My advice? Walk across the street to Oz for the same sandwich if BBQ pork is what you're craving on this block. Cheaper and better. On the plus side, the purchase was the fastest credit card transaction I've ever seen.
(3)
Kortni S.

Service is super quick here! I had the caprese sandwich, it came on a lightly toasted French roll, and had the perfect proportions of basal, tomato, and cheese, add in a dash of olive oil and pepper and you have the perfect bite of this crisp sandwich! Their fountain soda machine had coke zero, how cool is that?!? Great place, I'll be back to try more, stay tuned.
(4)
Jonathan Z.

Some of the biggest, tastiest salads I have ever had. I've had the Cobb Salad and the Chipotle Chicken Salad, both of which could have easily fed a small family. Beware the side breads, which are ginormous as well, but if you're having a cheat day, I'd recommend the Dutch Crunch Roll - hard on the outside, soft on the inside. Much like I became after eating here a few times.
(5)
Jessica R.

There is a male barista here who consistently flirts through his lattes. At least the ones he makes me. That is, he draws hearts and other cute images in the froth. And then smiles and calls me "Miss". So adorable. Wow I'm easy. Regardless, it makes me happy coming back here when I'm in the city. He's probably a latte froth whore, but I don't care. It's the little things.

Linda C.

This little corner place makes delicious sandwiches and salads. The portions, especially the salads, are HUGE! They have lots to choose from and some specials that change from time to time. Service is friendly here. They have counter seating and a couple of tables inside. - Chipotle Chicken Salad: hint of spiciness, good dressing, nicely seasoned meat, variety of veggies - Italian Sandwich: good, packed with the usual meats on nice thick bread, and just enough vinaigrette to give it a little extra flavor

Working Girls Cafe in the financial district has the same menu as the soma one: deli sandwiches, specialty sandwiches, bagel melts, coffee, etc. froyo review only froyo availability: (yocream) -milk chocolate : creamy, thick, and smooth. more milk than chocolate, texture ok but flavor bland. -alpine vanilla -peanut butter pricing: (s)2.95 (m) 3.50 (l)4.25 dry toppings .75 , saw a few toppings buried under something...passed frodrips: -taylor dispensing machines, plastic cup -saw hh farms poster in window and yocream stickers on cashier counter, froyo is definitely yocream, hh farms froyo a lot sweeter. -didn't ask for samples, familiar with yocream line, just checking servicing of froyo service. -open only m-f? -decor is that of a cafeteria -wacky wabbit wating: none mikey wouldn't come here.

3.5 stars. Per 2 friend recommendations, decided to try working girl out for their sandwiches. Ok, when the other yelpers comment on how good the bread is, take note! DANG! Their bread is For REAL! lol. Fresh and chewy....this is why I can never live without bread. Had their chicken parm sandie - decent! Excited to try their many other sandwich options.

I stopped in here one morning with my husband for breakfast, as no place closeby was open yet. My husband is a croissant lover, and I love my bagels, so we each got a breakfast sandwich [his with bacon, egg and cheese, mine with ham, egg and cheese]. We made the mistake of eating my husband's croissant first...the croissant was dry, heavy and tasteless, and the cheddar cheese was oily. All around, it was very bland. My bagel was slightly better, thanks to the bagel being delicious...but I wasn't very impressed. At $3.50 for a breakfast bagel [plus an additional 75 cents for a croissant], it was cheap, but nothing too memorable. The best part of my breakfast was my iced chai tea latte. 4-stars for that!

Amber C.

I work a block from Working Girl's Cafe and it's my FAV. I think it might be the fav for everyone in our office :) They have kick-ass sandwiches, great bread, lovely humans working behind the counter... it's deli quality. Also! Don't go to La Boulange and order a breakfast sandwich - for at least $2 less you'll get a stellar/superior one at Working Girl's. I personally like the tomato + egg + ham on sliced sourdough (substitute for a bagel). Makes Monday morning a bearable experience!!

Ahh, another workday lunch spot to add to my list. A friend took me here the other day to grab some sandwiches before heading to a park. At first I wasn't impressed because their menu looked similar to just about every other cafe in the financial district (it really kind of is) but I was happy to hear that they served breakfast items past noon. I'm always on the hunt for scrambled eggs in the afternoon and most cafes stop serving them after 11:30. After taking a bite of my ham, egg & cheese croissant, I decided this cafe is pretty good and worth going back to. I'm excited to try their salads and chicken parmesan sandwich. Oh, and there's more.. on my way back to the office after having lunch at a park, I passed by working girls again and noticed people eating frozen yogurt. So I turned to my friend and asked, "they serve froyo here too!??" .."Uhh yea".. ..Definately worth going back to.

Margaret R.

Great sandwiches! The bread is so fresh, nicely toasted and has that nice crunch to it. I tried the red snapper sandwich, which I found a bit too spicy and fishy. However, if you enjoy fish sandwiches, you need to try it!! I really enjoyed the chicken sandwich. It felt lighter since the meat / bread wasn't soaked in sauce unlike the red snapper.
(4)
Derek N.

I had to get a second breakfast, so I dove inside WGC and got a bagel & lox sammie along with a decaf house coffee. The place is brightly lit and airy compared to Posh Bagel on Sutter. The wait was average, and the sammie satisfied. Window seating allows a hectic view of the Bush/Kearny traffic thoroughfare.

Wakako U.

Sandwiches are tasty and I love that they know what I am saying when I ask them to dig out the dough on the bread. My favorite is the California melt - turkey, bacon, avocado, swiss.

Got Mandarin chicken salad: didn't get green peppers, onions or mandarin itself... Even though it is pretty good salad, chicken was cooked perfectly. I will definitely get back and give it another chance.
(4)
Christina P.

I highly recommend their chicken almond sandwich! I haven't stepped foot in the place myself, but some coworkers picked this up for me for lunch one day and I was really impressed! Only complaint is that it was pretty expensive for $9 with no sides or anything, though the sando is so big you could probably split it with a buddy. It seems like a quick and easy place to pick up something yummy and relatively healthy!
(4)
Yelp R.

My boyfriend and I decided to try Working Girls' Cafe today after seeing good reviews on it. I ordered the Mandarin chicken salad while he ordered the Pastrami sandwich. I think I had a great deal with the salad ($8.99) because they give you a lot in a big container and if you were to eat there but you're not able to finish it, you can just take it to go without having the need to ask for a take-out box. The pastrami sandwich was ($7.59, I think) and my boyfriend described it as "decent" but thinks that there are probably better tasting sandwiches in the Specialty menu. Overall this was a good experience. Workers were friendly, and food was good. We'll definitely be coming back.
(4)
Wendy L.

A bit expensive for a sandwich ($9), but SUPER delicious! I got the red snapper with guacamole and absolutely loved it. Service was efficient and polite; I went for a late lunch to avoid the lines. Although I love Muracci's down the street, there's just something absolutely perfect about sandwiches for lunch. Seating is limited, but the windows are large and there is plenty of natural lighting. Overall, a good experience. I plan to try the salads next time!
(4)
Tina K.

Place is fine, food is good. but extra charges for sandwich condiments such as pepperoncini's, cheese, and sliced wheat bread= overpaying for a pretty simple sandwich.
(3)
Samantha M.

HUGE tasty sandwiches, though I don't really reccomend having the entire one for lunch and then heading back to work after. You will want to fall asleep, seriously! But service is fast and good here, fresh bread, and the place is always packed. I would eat here more often but I can't work on a lunch so dense. :) You can have one sandwich here in the mornings and be good to go until 7:00 pm or so at night, unless you work in hard labor or do some other strenuous job. Even so, you'll be good on one sandwich till about 3. LOL

Bud L.

Good sandwiches, nice staff, and food is made quickly. My favorites are the meatloaf and blackened red snapper sandwiches. Part of my weekly lunch rotation.

Beet salad is where it's at. Also, their salads are really filling and large. Lines can be slow during lunch and they are liable to get backed up with orders. They are also one of the few places by my office that is open on Saturday.
(4)
Richa A.

I've been to the one on New Montgomery a few times and am happy to say that this one offers the same friendly service and delicious salads. My only complaint (with both locations) is that for the Chipotle chicken salad, the tortilla chips have never been totally crispy. I always ask for dressing and sour cream on the side, so not sure if it's just the moisture from the rest of the ingredients that makes them a little soggy or what... but I might start asking for chips on the side as well!

Liz H.

Working Girls' is my go-to place in the Financial District when I want a salad for lunch. For about $9 you can pick from a variety of fresh, hand tossed salads with great toppings & dressings. My favorite is the Chipotle Chicken Salad! Yes, $9 is a bit pricey for lunch but we are in the financial district so you won't find a meal-sized salad for much less. As an added bonus, the manager and staff are very friendly. The wait varies a lot depending on what time you go, but they are making everything as it is ordered so its totally worth the wait.

Wes T.

Pretty straight-forward sandwich joint in the FiDi. Big menu with lots of sandwiches, some of them have clever names. The ingredients are good, so you won't be disappointed with the work they turn out. It's a small space, so you probably want to take your sandwich to go. They have coffee, too, which makes it an OK brekkies spot. I would highly recommend the breakfast sandwiches, as they are awesome. #4 on an English muffin, personal fave.

Lolia S.

Fro-yo girl here. I've never been to a Working Girls' CafÃ© before so I'm not sure how similar the locations are (I'm assuming the menus are similar and the fro-yo is the same). A few months ago I saw a sign for Honey Hill Farms fro-yo in their window but now the sign is gone and they serve Yo Cream fro-yo. Flavors of the day: * Raspberry (sweet) * Peanut butter * Chocolate * French vanilla Prices: S ($2.75)/ M($3.50)/ L($4.25) They barely had any toppings. I had a small French Vanilla fro-yo. It was fine - nothing special and not that good of a deal considering how much you can get at some other fro-yo places (e.g., Natural Selections, Yogurt Park, Yumi Yogurt). The fro-yo was smooth, thick and not runny. There was a hole in the middle. The dÃ©cor seemed spartan and cafeteria like, probably because of the plastic chairs they use. The service wasn't very good. I asked for a sample of fro-yo and she looked annoyed. Every place that serves fro-yo should be happy to provide samples. You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.

Mamie B.

Heading home from work in the Financial District, this is the perfect place to stop to pick up the best Caesar salad around. Yes, it's large enough to share, but it's so good who would want to? Ask for half of the dressing on the side and eliminate the guilt of eating the whole thing yourself. In fact, the Caesar salad is so good that I haven't tried anything else on the menu.
(4)
Dmitriy A.

Extremely good sandwiches and salads. I really cannot overemphasize how tasty they are. I suggest the CA melt Sandwich and the Spicy Chicken Salad. Coffee is terrible. Don't know why they invest into changing that.
(5)
Zoey S.

Despite its rather chauvinistic name, this place was pretty good. I tried the mixed greens salad and added chicken. The chicken was awesome - super flavorful and tender; the rest of the salad was good too, though not particularly noteworthy. After seeing the random frozen yogurt bar beside the cash register I was mildly concerned for my salad's quality, but somehow those girls (though ironically my order was taken by a male) pulled it off. Sandwiches there are supposed to be pretty great as well. I'll be back sometime soon!
(4)
Christine H.

I bought the buffalo chicken salad.. something like that.. and thought it was decent. I didn't like that they tossed the salad for you and didn't ask whether you wanted dressing on the side. The dressing was much too rich for me. I also came back another time and got the prosciutto sandwich which I thought was pretty dece as well. 3.5 stars, but will round it up once I find that item that is to die for on their menu!
(3)
Julie L.

My man + I unfortunately tried a roast beef sandwich one day while in the neighborhood. Good lord. If I couldn't physically see the roast beef after actively looking for it, I would've thought I ordered a vegetarian sandwich. There was literally no mayo or lubrication between the humongous piece of bread and the almost non-existent meat w/ the few pieces of vegetables they put in there. For $8/sandwich, you would think they'd be a little more generous w/ the meat or at least the cheese? No they're not. FAIL. With places like this, I am starting to really doubt there's any good sandwich places around the Financial District.
(1)
Kelly M.

Ah, Working Girl. The sandwich and salad standby. I always had a caprese salad with salmon. And a honey green Honest Tea. It's one of those places that packs a slice of fresh bread with the salads, which you inevitably forget to eat, even though when it's first offered, of course you want fresh bread! And then you realize, after a couple of weeks, that your shelf in the office fridge is piled high with Working Girl bread slices. Which only reminds you that you are hungry, and you start the cycle all over again.
(4)
Matt P.

Their salads are pretty good but expensive for what you get. I like that their Ceasar doesn't use the crappy Sisco ceasar creamy dressing, they use the other vinegar type stuff. Still mass market but tastes beter IMO. If only they didn't drown my salad in it..,. +1 for great service though and I like that their credit card machines don't require signature. Keeps the line moving really well.

Edgard G.

So today, woke up early and promised no to drink coffee. On the way to class I see working girls cafe....grrrr I order a muffin and a coffee, it's 3.55 and look in my bag for the plastic. After couple minutes of no luck the lady tells me, not to worry can pay tomorrow. Is that costumer service or what! Don't know of a place that would allow that to happen. Love the working boys!
(5)
Tony N.

A little of everything- sando's, salads, coffee, pastries and sometimes fro- yo. This is the workhorse of cafes in the financial district and I could always depend on them to put together something tastily, healthily, and expediently with a full stomach. I still haven't figured out why the name, though. There's a tiny television in there sometimes, too.

Colleen C.

Well, after consuming FAR too many tortilla chips and margaritas the night before, some ruffage was in SERIOUS order... A quick jaunt from the office found me at Working Girls' Cafe, with a big heaping serving of Cobb Salad, fresh greens, bacon, sliced egg, and a tangy balsamic. Add a sparklin' water to boot, and I was a happier camper. Relatively inexpensive for the area: Total under $10 for lunch. Perfect to pick up, and walk to a nearby park for some sunshine and recuperation... Work it, Girls. Yep...I'd be back.

If sandwiches could talk I would be in a very compromising relationship twice a week (sometimes three times) to my marriage. I love you Prosciutto, and Ginger Curry you're my soul mate. This place consistently makes yummy sandwiches. Not only do they actually give you the ingredients you ordered (most places give you one slice of cucumber or a pathetic droopy slice of ham), this place packs it all in. Did I say yummy already? Tis a little on the expensive side, but worth it. As I'm eating my way down the sandwich menu, I thought I should step out of my comfort zone and try a salad, well, was that a nice surprise - not swimming in dressing and again, packed full of the ingredients on the menu. One 'working girl' to another: you rock my lunch world. ! Keep it up!
(5)
Amber D.

This place is great for lunch during work hours. At times the line can be a bit long, but I also have gone in there during lunch hour and gotten my food within 5 minutes. The staff is really nice and friendly. One time I waited about 10 minutes for my food and one of the nice workers compensated me with a free cookie. He always remembers me when I come in, so that is nice too. The cobb salad is really good, but I always have to ask for extra dressing. I've also gotten the chipotle chicken salad which is extra bomb. I will definitely be having that again. Definitely try working girl cafe!
(4)
Kathleen S.

I can only speak for the fro-yo and the service on this review, but yay! As someone trying to maintain a healthy diet (New Year's resolutions are still alive and well), I was VERY pleased to find a place serving chocolate fro-yo that doesn't taste like its been stripped of all its naughty goodness. I got a small cup of their dutch chocolate (YoCream brand?), and its absolutely delicious and creamy... very satisfying. For $2.95, they really pack the cup. Definitely TASTED like a deal. The guy who helped me was a sweetheart too. I'll be back soon to try their other goods... per most other Yelpers here, I shouldn't be disappointed :)

Gina R.

Working girl is great for breakfast, lunch and snacks. Most of the time, I'm in there for breakfast. They will make your morning coffee and breakfast just as fast as Starbucks if not faster. Michael works the front, and he delivers great customer service. I like their regular coffee, egg bagel & cream cheese and #2 breakfast sandwhich on an english muffin!
(5)
David H.

I walked by Working Girl Cafe for about 8 months before I decided to eat there, I was pleasantly surprised, First I tried breakfast which was toasted sour dough with eggs and bacon which was filling and good. Next visit was a Roast Beef sandwich which I couldnt eat in one sitting and it was only about six bucks! Next was a Cobb Salad which was Freaking HUGE for only nine dollars! and full of all kinds of good stuff and a tasty dressing. But what really sold me on the place was the owner/manager who came over and just had a genuine conversation with me as I waited, he couldnt be more friendly and again genuinely interested in the conversation we had. Then he remembered me the next week. And it wasnt just me I have seen him engage several customers with a big warm smile. Its just great to buy lunch a few times and really feel appreciated for supporting a local business.

It was my first time visiting this location, and it will also be my last. I ordered a Greek salad, and found a baby CATERPILLAR hiding behind a leaf on my plate.

One of the best sandwich places ever. The staff is friendly as well , and the selection of chips puts other sandwich stops (and some grocery stores) to shame. The brownies are great as well, much better than you'll find at any similar place. I've only had a few items on their menu. The basic turkey sandwich, and the cajun chicken breast, which is one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Cajun and mayo don't sound like they'd mix that well though, so I've always ordered mine without mayo.

Working Girls consistently delivers a solid sandwich. I particularly enjoy the prosciutto, red snapper and cajun chicken sandwiches. Service and prices are both very good. So why only 3 stars you ask? The "wow factor." Everything is very good here, but nothing blows me outta my socks. With so much good food nearby, Working Girls doesn't hit my list of bi-weekly (or even monthly) must-eats.

Ya know, I was really excited to try this place out because I feel like I always hear about it. I got their turkey sandwich and I was sad to finally come to the conclusion that it was only OK. I wanted really badly to like this place, but honestly, I left feeling very "meh" and given all the incredible sandwich spots in SF, I think I'd go somewhere else.

If you're looking for a delicious salad, affordable and filling enough for the whole day, come to Working Girls' Cafe! (god, that rhymed) But seriously, I was looking for some place around my work that has good salads. I looked at reviews for mixt greens, boxed food company, and they all seemed overpriced.. I'm not much of a salad eater myself, and I don't particularly like dropping a whole lot of dough for food that I can make better. But those times I don't get a chance to make a lunch & I'm feeling a bit hungry, I hit up the salad. And let me tell you, working girls' salads are no joke. They're huge! They also have a good array of options, and a special salad as well. (after ordering, I noticed they had roasted beets with goat cheese I was like dangit, why is that sign there and not at the register?!) So anyway, here I am, sitting at my office now enjoying this really big portion of mandarin chicken salad, and its great. I think you should hit up this small cafe, they have good options. This is only my first time, but I can tell they have good food already and I'll def go there again

The food and service made me as happy as the Lady Marmelade-esque connotations to the name. It was a brisk Sunday morning and Downtown was particularly desolate. Where many other storefronts were shuttered, Working Girls Cafe was open and the ladies running the place were working at a steady clip. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with ham, eggs and cheese on sourdough and was satiated by the simple joy of the inclusion of a few tomato slices in there. Hubs had a bagel and cream cheese that pleased his NYC palate. Prices were cheap, the service was prompt and polite and we were soon on our way to enjoy the rest of the day.

Solid sammiches/soups/salads in the financial district. Nice little cafe where you can grab lunch. Minimal seating but available. Service is fast and prices are reasonable. They have a pretty good selection ranging from 7-9 dollars. I like their salads. Mmm Chipotle Chicken Salad es nomnomnom.

I go here every sunday because it's one of the only places open for lunch around my work. The staff is all super friendly and nice, it's always full of cute people, and the vegetarian sandwich is one of the most delicious sandwiches i have ever tasted in my life. I always get it with no pickles or tomatoes, but with sundried tomatoes, sprouts, avocado, cucumber, and pepperjack cheese on foccacia (in addition to the lettuce, onions, dijon mustard, etc it already comes with) and my tastebuds singgggggg. The only thing that I don't like is the price. The sandwich alone comes out to be $7.90 after tax (mainly because there is an extra charge to use foccacia bread), and honestly, it's worth it, because it IS really good, but I still don't really like paying more than 5 bucks for a sandwich.

I'm obsessed with their greek salad. The dressing is light and flavorful, not oily at all. The herbs give it a great zing and all the flavors work well. I usually get it as is but when the pants get tight and I need to cool it on the carbs and up the protein I add the chicken and it is sooo juicy and flavorful. Friendly, efficient, good food, it's all you could ask for during your lunch hour. If I had my way I wish they would use pitted olives and sliced pepperoncinis to limit the labor I have to put into eating it, but satisfied nonetheless. and the boy that works the register is adorbs

I'll agree with something that's been noted already, that it sounds like a hooker hangout. I've never been bothered by that. What do people expect? It's a block from Maiden Lane, which not so long ago relatively, actually was a hooker hangout (and now you can find spas and marketing agencies there; I'm a fan of both). :) Anyway, I've always liked this place a lot (good food, good people) but today must warn those who are on restricted diets. Today upon initially making my coffee with cow's milk instead of soy they did correct it, but then upon returning to work I unwrapped my correctly labeled and charged eggplant sammich to find I'd been served spinach and chicken. I'm a pretty flexible feeder when I need protein but once I realized what I was noshing, I gotta admit I couldn't finish. Kanye West could pop out of the utility closet, put me on national TV and give me permission. I still wouldn't be able to, because now I'm sporty-smelling the fried fowl frazzle-funk on my fingers. Drop me in the middle of Siberia and I'll be the first to eat face. Until then, though... and I'm also recalling I've often been unable to find a veggie soup option upon inquiring... Mistakes happen etc. so I'll almost certainly be back, but I'll be careful if/as I do. Maybe if they had a tip jar this kind of stuff wouldn't happen. Not that they aren't already prompt with their service, and I'm sure they've got their reasons. I'll see to it the leftovers go to someone willing.

The California Melt sandwich is simply one of the best combinations of smoked turkey, bacon, melted swiss, guac, condiments and assorted veggies stacked in between two halves of a toasted loaf of bread that I've ever had. It's difficult though to justify paying almost $10 for a deli sandwich regardless of how good it is. A working girl has gotta' make a living too I suppose.

Conveniently located to our hotel, Working Girls' Cafe had some good breakfast, though the prices were a bit steep - hey its the city? We ordered a bagel with scrambled eggs, cheese, and tomato and yogurt with fresh fruits and granola - so good! It was delicious. It feels like a neighborhood spot - and the service was friendly and quick.

Someone brought lunch in to us; it was the 1st time i had sandwiches from Working Girl Sandwiches were Much better than Specialty's (see my review of that awful place). They were definitely more "special" than Specialty's. Pesto Chicken was good. The cookies were pretty good; not amazing, but not super sweet and quite tasty. The chips are tasty Would go there in a pinch. it's a little pricey though?

Just got a crappy chicken sandwich down the block at Max's and started thinking about the fantastic salmon filet sandwich at Working Girls Cafe. A buddy took me there and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of sandwich made for the price. The salmon filet sandwich had a great lemon caper sauce that masked any fishy aftertaste. Not easy to do with this type of sandwich. Hey guys at Max's, you could learn a thing or two about making unpricey quality sandwiches made fast. Bottomline, great first impression. Def visiting again!

Lauren F.

DELICIOUS! This is definitely one of my new favorite lunch spots. I got the BBQ sandwich which was totally awesome. A little filling (I was full for the rest of the day). They have a wide variety of sandwiches and salads to choose from. Can't wait to try more!

Marsha Z.

It's been tough working further away from Petite Deli, but Working Girls has filled the void (somewhat), when I'm craving a caprese. The sandwich here costs nearly $4 more, but while just as filling, does not have the same love and care put into it that Young seems to give at Petite. Like other food joints around here, lunch is busy, but I find the wait never to be very long. I used them recently to cater my first work lunch event, and ordering and execution was perfect. Not to mention, I got a free sammy. There's a limited amount of counter seating and tables to dine to begin with. Add to it, a hoard of people crowding the door, waiting for their order to be called--it's too crowded to have a relaxing lunch. You're better off schlepping it back to the office or sitting outside on a nice day.

This place is way way overrated on Yelp! I have been wanting to try this place for a while and today I finally did. I was pretty disappointed. I had a turkey sandwich with avocado on a sourdough roll (which is what I get everywhere). First, the turkey was gross. And I like store bought deli turkey. I'm no snob. This was like baloney but they called it roast turkey. Second, the bread was not fresh. Third, the sourdough roll was not that sour nor did it have that wonderful crust that makes sour rolls so good. Fourth, the avocado was not fresh avocado but rather avocado spread. Fifth, it cost $10. I could not have been more underwhelmed by this sandwich. There is a place right across the way tucked away in the building next to mine called Kinetic Cafe (or something like that) that serves the exact same thing but better and for $6. And that includes a soda and a bag of chips (and I'm talking about a big ol' bag of Cheeto Puffs). Next time I want just a plain sandwich, I'll stick with that place.

Very tasty Cobb Salad with an exceptional ranch dressing. Not cheap, but it is off Union Square.

There are few sweeter things in life than strolling along, arm in arm with someone you love, enjoying the sunshine and leisurely slurping on a big ice cream cone... Fast Forward to San Francisco circa 2007: There are few sweeter things in my hectic, insanely busy weekday than dashing down the streets of the financial district in the midst of the lunch rush, matthew capital r in tow, bundled in layers to fend off the icy freeze in the air, rapidly spooning fat-free, sugar-free frozen yogurt down my piehole because I am late for a meeting but I couldn't resist the seductive allure of calorie-free pina colada-flavored frozen dairy substitute. Working Girls' isn't my first stop for lunch (although the food is fine and pretty cheap for the hood) but it is the LAST place I stop on my way BACK to the office after lunch. For Frozen Yogurt. Which, at $2.25 for a heaping bucket of the stuff is a much cheaper "treat" than a lunchtime trip to Barney's.

My favorite place to get lunch that is near my work. I've been here when it's packed and the wait isnt too bad. it might be s little difficult to find a spot to wait for your food but you wouldn't be waiting too long. I ALWAYS get the filet of salmon sandwich. ALWAYS. its THAT good. mmmmm....comes with capers and all.

I love Working Girls and go there many days for lunch. Great salads, and I think the bread for the sandwiches comes from my favorite bakery in North Beach. The owner is so nice and friendly, too.

Rong H.

Ordered the mandarin chicken salad for eating in. They forgot to put the chicken in. If I hadn't started eating there I wouldn't have noticed. Then one of their guys made fun of me for asking where's the chicken in the salad (albeit in a good humored way). Not much to say besides check carefully what you get before leaving with your to go container. Salad is not bad but not spectacular either. Wait can be long at times.
(3)
Grant M.

A solid place for lunch in the Financial district. Both the salads and sandwiches are solid. The price is reflective of the size of both which is on the large side. I usually get the salad but get the Chicken Parm once and it held up to similar sandwiches I had back East. Chek it out if you are in the neighborhood.

4 stars? How? I ordered the Spicy Chicken Teriyaki and the Butternut Squash Soup as a lunch order to go. The sandwich: Bread was stale. Nothing really wrong with it, but with all of the sandwich places in the area, why wouldn't you go to one with fresh bread? The tomatoes were way to old - at that stage where they break up into mush with the lightest touch and really mealy texture. Not appetizing at all. The chicken was the same crappy reheated chicken you would get a subway. So why pay twice the price if it's the same low quality sandwich? The soup: Awful. It was the exact consistency of water. I'm guessing it was the bottom of their pot, and they just added equal parts water to have enough for their lunch service. Watery and tasteless. I love soup and I just threw this one away. I don't understand that hype about this place: a low quality sandwich with old produce, old chicken, and stale bread? corner cutting soup? Ugh.

Had a delicious sandwich with lemon-y chicken, artichokes, red onions, a creamy sauce, which was all stuffed in focaccia bread. A little bit pricey (imo) for a sandwich, but still delightfully tasteful and close to my office.

Adam B.

Great lunch spot. Their chicken chipotle salad is great - you wouldn't even know you're eating healthy-ish! I had the chicken parmesan sandwich today, which was also very good. It's grilled chicken rather than the usual deep fried, another point for healthy without giving up much in taste (the well-toasted bread provides the necessary cruch factor). Definitely desitined to become a usual for me.
(4)
Rohan D.

Decent lunch spot. The sandwiches are about standard price in the area and the ingredients are good. The California sandwhich is their best. They have a bunch of other smaller deserts and things but not really worth the cost. There used to be a guy here who asked you about your order to make sure nobody forgot and would tell you if it was coming up but he's gone now.

Chef S.

The place is a bit pricey for what you get but they have good service and the sandwiches are pretty good. Tried the salmon sandwich would order it again not to far from my home so that's a plus as well

order the grilled eggplant sammich, be careful when biting into it - it's hot! - grab a cold drink, eat while watching Fi-Di folks march up and down the streets in power suits and kitten heels, and tourists enjoying their day of exploration. om nom nom nom nom. take it easy. really enjoy your fresh, well-made sammich. watch the world go by. and when you're done, join the flow of people and go wherever your legs take you. they make a pretty mean grilled eggplant sammich. simple food, decent service. give it a go. don't rush.

If I am in SF I go to Working Girls at the corner of Bush and Kearny everyday without fail. The staff are fantastic. The line is short and moves quickly. The food is delivered promptly and with a smile. I love this place so much they should name a sandwich after me. Doug "the caprese" Edmonds

Pretty decent for a quick grab of coffee while on the go (along with a quick pastry or bottled drink) but didn't see much to offer aside from that. However, if I am looking for a quick cup of coffee, I'd definitely put this place on the list.

I've been coming here for lunch for about five years, and it's one of my staples. I never thought I'd ever say (in my head, at least) about a salad, "Too much stuff! Too big!" WGC's salads approach that, though. They're spectacular. My current favorite is the mixed greens with walnuts, gorgonzola, apples, and other goodies. With chicken, it's ten bucks, but it's huge and wonderful. The Asian chicken salad and the baby spinach salad are similarly delish, with the Caprese coming in right behind. Their sandwiches are imaginative and lovely as well. Today I had their Caprese sandwich. Fresh mozzerella, thick slices of tomato, julienned fresh basil and romaine served on a toasted french roll with a balsamic vinaigrette. Jeezusgod, it's good. I don't come here as often as I'd like because it tends to fill up when I go to lunch, which is on the late side (1:00-ish) and there isn't a lot of space to wait. On the other hand, they're 'way efficient and get you in and out briskly but not brusquely. Oh, yes--they have great frozen yogurt, too, if your sweet tooth's talking to you.

Ray F.

Their chipotle chicken salad is the best salad I have ever had. This place rules. They are fast, friendly, and make great food. But this salad in particular is beyond comparison. I'm not a big "yelper" so you know this salad has got to be good in order to make me yelp about it.
(5)
Neil B.

My co-workers and I go to this cafe nearly every day for lunch. The food is relatively cheap - maybe a dollar more than your average subway sandwich, but taste absolutely amazing. They also serve breakfast all day, and a personal favorite of mine is their turkey avocado, and cream cheese breakfast sandwich.

I had a tuna sandwich and chips and the sandwich had generous portions but it didn't rock my world. However, the service is very quick!

Misty G.

There are a few reasons why I really like this place: (1) It reminds me of Romy & Michele and their quest for a "Business Woman's Special," you know, for the women who believe they invented post-its. {hehe... that always makes me giggle} (2) They have a great prosciutto sandwich filled with lettuce, tomato, fresh mozzarella and a deliciously tasty balsamic vinaigrette. Honestly, that vinaigrette really adds to the flavor of the sandwich. (3) They have BAKED sour cream and cheddar Ruffles, which kind of makes me feel just a tad bit healthier. Not to mention Half & Half Nantucket Nectars to wash it all down.
(4)
Robert S.

Horrible, at best. They are clearly working, but I am not sure to what end. The service was shoddy, the scrambled eggs are actually frozen egg patties, and the coffee was TERRIBLE! I'm in town for work and have tried this place and Darn Good Food just up the block. Easy call. The working girls will no longer be working for me.

Katie A.

Huge salads and sandwiches for cheap! I got a massive greek salad with dolmas and a soda for $9! Loaded with kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, onions, cucumber, feta, and peppercinis, this bad boy could have easily been enough for a few folks to share. Don't be deterred by the long lines.. It moves very quickly and the salads and sandwiches are ready to go in a matter of minutes. Extensive menu of sandwiches, soups, salads, and they've got fro yo with bigger toppings than I've seen in Seattle. Definitely get it to go and enjoy eating in the park.

Ian M.

It's odd to me that I have lived in the Bay Area for many years and worked in downtown SF for so many of them, and yet somehow, someway, I had never been into a Working Girl's. They lack teh ubiquity of Lee's but there still seem to be plenty of them, and I do like sandwiches and clever business names, so what's not to love? Well, after today I can say I've been. And I can say that it was good enough to give another chance, but not good enough to go running back. My standard issue roast beef and cheddar was standard at best, and my girlfriend's tomato-lentil soup was similarly uninspiring. The specialty sandwiches did look pretty good, but I winced at the prices, which were all well over $7 pre-tax, not including beverage or other accoutrements.
(3)
sasha h.

Come here because they are fast, have a huge menu and pricing is decent depending on what you get. I used to come to working girls daily but I've eaten there too much at this point so am taking a break. Between the make it yourself sandwiches and large selection of specialty salads, there is something for everyone. They are open on weekends which, if you work at 555, you know you have minimal pickings on the weekend so 1 extra star for that. It is not incredible food but fine for your everyday work lunch which is all it is meant to be.

phillip w.

This place always seems pretty crowded during lunch so I finally decided to come and give this place a shot, a little bit of confusion when you go in cause there are people jus standing around everywhere. Anyhow they have a large menu of items to choose from. Mainly sandwiches and salads. So I got a sandwich..the California something.. thats what I got...it consisted of - a toasted soft roll with sesame seeds tomatoes lettuce red onions bacon which had a nice crunch~ turkey and avocado. Nice and warm sandwich. It was pretty good and I got pretty full too. Im suprised cause it wasnt that big. Oh and the sandwich is about 7.75 or something around there. So pretty good price. The only thing I would suggest they do is make the sandwich pick-up a bit more organized. That way you have a area for people to wait instead of floating around waiting for your number to be called. And I think it might also be smart to have the drinks near the cash register so people would be able to see what drinks they could purchase. But other than that, its pretty good~

Claire C.

I don't really like sandwiches so it really is a testament to Working Girls that I come here at least 3 times a month. Sometimes it's their bagel breakfast sandwich and sometimes a good ol' regular roast chicken sandwich. The specialty sandwiches are excellent as well. AND this place has the best ginger cookies - chewy, soft and spicy. Good service too. One of my fave places in FiDi.
(4)
Emma L.

Probably my favorite spot to grab a sandwich in the FiDi. As much as I want to try all the delicious sandwiches on the menu, I almost never allow myself to stray from the chicken pesto. Yummy. Very generous with portions. Only criticism would be that the daily soup specials aren't posted, and I always forget to ask. The people who work here have always been super nice and fast, but the seating options are extremely limited to a point that it's pretty uncomfortable to actually eat here. Breakfast is also delicious and very cheap.

Good sandwiches for a quick bite but not great. Better than specialities but not worth the almost $8 prices. There's no home-made bread or gourmet cheeses or anything like that. I don't get this place.

This was the first place that I ate at in San Francisco and back then it wasn't great but I went again today (for the first time since then) and I had a completely different experience. I really like this place. They have a good selection of quality sandwiches and it's pretty fast service as well. Unfortunately they are a little walk from my work otherwise I would be there more often.

6 ounces (which is way more than it sounds) of delicious fro-yo for under 3 bucks? Thank you!! I love this place for a quick little snack on my way to work or if I'm just in the neighborhood with my dog (Trish is super sweet and always throws in a tiny biscotti for gus :) I always have an enjoyable meal here. They have verrrry good soups especially on rainy days. Great prices and great food. Loves it!

i've had quite a few sandwiches from working girls over the past few years but today was my first shot at a salad - and yum! the spicy chicken salad with corn, beans, mixed greens, sour cream, cheese, onion and tortilla chips really hit the spot! ready in about 5 minutes and the chicken was still warm. fantastic!

Suzanne V.

This place is close to my office and I always forget about it... which is good because their sandwiches are effing delicious and I can't afford to be buying one every day! Staff is efficient and nice - my current obsession is with their red snapper sandwich - so amazing! One of the best sandwiches in the FiDi - go try it now!

Marie C.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the turkey sandwhich from this place. The staff is pretty friendly as well. I only get a half hour for lunch, so speed is important to me. I always get back to work with plenty of time to eat. The frozen yogurt is off the hook as well.

Jessica M.

Sadly I had high hopes for this spot for a go-to breakfast place as I walk by it on my way to work every day. So much for the title! There was only one other person in there when I arrived and it still took about 15 minutes to make a simple toasted bagel with egg and cheese to go. Not only that, but it was barely edible. I ended up throwing half out. Nasty cheese that was hard around the edges, sub par bagel, and what appeared to be something worse than Eggbeaters. Never again. Ohwell. Not even sure if I'd try their sandwiches after this experience. Too many better places in the area.

Alex G.

Thank you, Working Girls', for being the shining light in the world of darkness that is Bush and Kearny - Overrun by FiDi's most ruthless worker bees. I used to visit only when Starbucks had a line out the door.. Now it's become a daily routine. Your bacon, tomato and avocado on an onion bagel hits the spot perfectly every morning. And paired with your large iced coffee.. It's heaven. Staff is so friendly, especially the younger girl working the cashier every morning - she's a doll.

Sandos on par with Yike's Yace and You's Yafe. Except with actually self-descriptive names. Funny how "for here" orders are still wrapped to-go. And how it's Working *Girls* but there are dudes. San Francisco is a leader in gender acceptance.

This place is quite expensive but have tasty salad. I really like their Mandarin salad. This is located in the financial district in which gets super busy.. Long line for healthy freaks lol 11-1pm usually their busiest hours. Besides salads, they also have wraps, chips, and selection of drinks. Nice employees and have several seats available for those who would like to eat there. Overall, I will come here again whenever I crave for expensive salad that gives a lot of veggies.

I wanted a healthy option while in SF and I found it! I got the roasted beet salad which had goat cheese, pear, and walnuts. Loved the flavor combination. I also added chicken which was good! Salad comes with bread too! You can make modifications too which is awesome!
(4)
Annie K.

I seriously love this place. Everything there is tasty - have had their salads, sandwiches, and bagels!!! The only reason why I give it 4 stars is because their soups are only okay...sort of bland and lacks depth. In addition,, one time i asked for a tomato, cheddar bagel and they just put cheddar in it! Didnt oopen it up to eat it until I got back to the office :( Try their chipotle chicken salad, lemon kale, and california melt!!!

Carrie L.

I usually bring a lunch to work -- but one day I forgot and was wondering around FIDI and found this gem! One thing that caught my eye was that there wasn't a long line. I literally walked in, waited a minute or two to order and I was out! I got the chipotle chicken salad and omg it was good. Towards the bottom it did feel like the lettuce was drowning in dressing - but that might've been my fault for letting my food sit there while I was working simultaneously. My favorite part of the salad would definitely be (besides from the obvious, chipotle chicken) the tortilla chips in it! I know it basically defeats the purpose of a salad... but it was nonetheless delicious! Will be back to try more salads the next time I forget to bring something to munch on!
(4)
Amy Z.

I've eaten here a handful of times over the last few years and wondered why their salads seemed to skimp on the ingredients. Turns out it wasn't my imagination. They are. If you can't eat or don't want a certain item ( in my case black beans) because everything is pre mixed you lose a whole host of other vegetables like corn, bell peppers, onion). Really lame when you are offer salads and not fair to the customer who is paying a fixed price for everything but only getting partial veggies. I understand shortcuts, but I've never been told and it isn't at all explained on their menu. As I've said lame.
(2)
Brianna S.

Hate to bring down the average here, but I was sorely unimpressed... Landed here when on the hunt for a healthy yet satisfying Monday night dinner. Opted for the Chinese chicken salad, which was mainly limp lettuce and overcooked chicken. Wasn't a fan of the dressing either. The rest of the veg was pretty sad looking, too. I was disappointed to not see the beet salad on this location's menu. I'm sure this place impresses in other regards, but it didn't do it for me. Service was friendly and quick, but I was disappointed in the quality and taste.

Harmony H.

I came here for lunch for the first time after reading the previous yelp reviews and really enjoyed it. They have a bunch of sandwiches and salads to choose from and it's all fresh and healthy. I got the kale and quinoa salad which was delicious. I'm excited to go back to try more things!
(5)
John D.

Super fast (in and out in less than 2min) and really fresh, stop by this place if you are looking for a sandwich or a salad. Portions are huge and are most of the time large enough for 2 people. You can sit inside they have 4 tables for 2 people and also a few additional seats on the side. Prices have slightly increased compared to their online menu but you can basically expect to pay $9.95 for a sandwich and $10 for a salad (add $2.50 if you want to add chicken).
(4)
Hannah K.

Love this place. I come to st frequently when I'm In sf. Family owned and operated. Always fast, NEVER disappointed when I frequent this place. Menu is so good, tons of variety. The coffee is way better than SB across the street. They always talk to you with respect and do there best to rush your order, because they know people have places to be. Ten stars if I could.

I normally bring food to work for lunch. But if I go out and stay up super late the night before, I end up hitting snooze one too many times and I have to make a run for the bus. This was my situation last Friday. When figuring out what to have for lunch, I decided to finally check out Working Girls' Cafe. I ended up ordering the Caprese sandwich: fresh mozzarella, tomato, basil, olive oil and balsamic vinegar on a toasted french baguette ($9.25). For some reason, it took a while for them to make this. Even the cashier apologized for it taking so long. Wasn't a big deal to me in the end, but it was nice that he acknowledged how long I had been waiting. I brought the sandwich back to work to eat in our break room. The bread was warm and toasty. I took a bite of the sandwich and wondered where was the flavor?! The mozzarella, tomato and basil where all cold which provided an odd mix of temperatures in comparison to the bread. I wanted the mozzarella to be warm and gooey. The olive oil and balsamic barely added any flavor. This sandwich was in need of some seasoning, like salt. On the positive note, the mozzarella and tomato tasted nice and fresh. And the sandwich was huge. You're definitely getting your money's worth in terms of size. My coworker raved about how good her California melt was here, so I was expecting an amazing sandwich. Instead I got a sandwich with good ingredients, but no flavor. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. Who knows. But I won't be back to get their Caprese. Maybe I'll try the California melt instead?

I looked up "best Caesar salad" in this area and it gave me this location! I work nearby so I do searches like this all the time and they rarely disappoint! This is one of the best salads I've eaten! But I do modify everything after the first times I try things. I add light feta cheese and no onions. This salad is huge! I never finish it. I tried the chipotle chicken salad yesterday and it it life itself. I just took off the onions but OMG! So good. The chips are perfect in it! Will continue to go!

Came here twice for lunch while at a conference last week. First time I had the pesto chicken, second time I had the cobb salad. The pesto chicken + eggplant was amazing and I ate half for lunch and the other half for breakfast the next day. Portions are generous! There was a line out the door one day but they move very quickly. Reasonably priced and friendly cashiers. Limited seating.

Service was fast here and they are pretty friendly. Limited seats available but they are generally always empty as people come here for take out or for a quick meal. Salad portions here were pretty generous! Add on salmon and no regrets!

Noticed that the kale salad was quite popular so I had it, but it was not that good. I say that as a Kale-lover. The name of the salad was misleading because it was something protein, which I automatically assumed had some sort of meat - but it was pure kale. The dressing did not feel that healthy and the little piece of bread was a little piece o' bloop. Kale on kale on kale. KALE NO!

Work it girls!! At least these girls can....or at least the girls and guys making the food : ) I stumbled upon this place on somewhat accident, after coming back from picking up my capsules at the nearby Nespresso boutique. I was in route back to bart, as well as in hopes to find an inexpensive place to eat for lunch. That's when I noticed this cafe. Interior and exterior is nothing appealing, for the place just exudes your average, no frill cafeteria- like cafe. Don't let it fool you though, these girls know how to work it; and I also got the sense they must be doing something right based upon the long line of patrons eagerly waiting to get their grub on. They have a really appealing sandwich selection to choose from, as well as a nice selection of salads along with other treats. I was in a carb watching kind of mood, so after eyeing the Cobb Salad they offered, my ultimate decision was quick to come to. I got the Cobb, requesting no blue cheese, and instead of the vinaigrette they offer, I requested their spicy ranch on the side. Total $9.75. Salad was made in less than 10 min and was put in plastic container to go. I ended up sitting at the bar table by the window. Now for the salad, AWESOME!! Not only was the presentation captivatingly appealing, it all turned out to be mouthwatering delicious! All the components that made up the salad were fresh and absolutely delectable: fresh crispy bacon, vibrantly colorful, juicy tomatoes; perfectly ripen slices of avocado and quality tasting deli style turkey! Oh and the spicy ranch dressing? Sensationally creamy with a really nice spicy kick! Married the salad beautifully! Muah! Who would a thought this place would execute such a fantastically fresh, tasty salad? Sold! If I worked close by, this place would certainly be my staple food spot.Continue to work it girls! I'll be back : )

So many delicious-sounding options to choose from! Breakfast bagels, sandwiches, and salads... there is something for every time of day. Actually, I was pretty overwhelmed with all the options, but it's great that all the sandwiches are the same price ($8.95) unless you want to add soup or salad. I was a bit confused walking in because there was a man walking around and cleaning the store but no one standing at the cash register, so I wasn't sure how to order. He asked me what I wanted and gave my order to the lady making sandwiches behind the counter. It was a little offputting but hey, it makes you feel like you're part of the family. I ordered the Fire Roasted Pork Sandwich, which has BBQ Sauce, Provolone Cheese, Capers, Lettuce, Tomato, Mayo, and Red Onions on a Toasted Soft Roll. Delicious! Love how many ingredients they include in all their sandwiches, along with the bread that goes best with those ingredients. I would come here again because of how close it is to my workplace. Great place to grab some lunch to-go! Plus they are open until 6PM on weekdays, which is longer than many lunch places in FiDi so extra snaps for that.

Child's play. Force of evil: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Châ€¦ Force of good: Perhaps the San Francisco's youngest cashier who took my order and money with impressive aplomb. Might have been the offspring of one of the older workers who made up my excellent quad shot sugar free vanilla Americano with a splash of nonfat milk. Just $3. While the kid might have been learning, the baristas were absolute pros.

Great spot to get a quick sandwich or salad takeout during lunch. I came for the baby spinach salad and the portion size was so generous I could have eaten it for three meals. Recommended! (:

Possibly the best sandwich in the world...ever. I like the grilled snapper, the Calfornia melt, the Mexicali, and the BBQ chicken sandwiches.

Looking for a place to find a salad on a Sunday afternoon we happen across Working Girls'. We were actually on our way to another place, but we saw their sign outside on the sidewalk with a list of their salads & they sounded pretty good. Plus there was a line inside so we figured that should be a good sign as well. The guy who took our order was very friendly. We ordered the Mixed Green salad - sans cheese & apples, but added chicken. Also, the Caprese salad - sans mozzarella, but added salmon. As we waited, we continued to look at the reviews of this place on yelp. A couple of reviewers said they found cockroaches in their salads. Of course, we were like "UH OH... Is it too late to cancel our orders?" But we braved on. Our orders came up. The first thumbs up I have to give them is the fact that the chicken & the salmon on both salads came out to us piping HOT!!! So with the idea that there might be some extra "protein" in our salads, we actually ate them fairly slow & scrutinized every bite. In the end, we finished our salads without any problems. And I have to say they were delicious! The only thing was eating our food slowly & cautiously hoping to NOT find a cockroach... Again, no cockroaches here for us! Mixed green salad - sans cheese & apples: yelp.com/biz_photos/workâ€¦

This is the place to visit if you need a salad to go in downtown SF. Large portions, fresh ingredients and friendly service. Will customize upon request. Lines move fairly fast during lunch rush, but don't expect to be out in 5m.

I was on a business trip for two weeks in San Francisco, and the Working Girls' Cafe was on my walk to Moscone Center. It looked like a pleasant place, so I decided to try it for a quick breakfast one morning. What ended up happening was I kept coming back almost every morning! Delicious coffee, and if I wasn't in too big of a hurry, I'd try a different breakfast sandwich. Tasty and filling every time! Probably the best part was that the staff began to recognize me, and a small coffee was always poured for me as soon as I walked in, without me even needing to ask. From the cooks and prep staff to the cashiers, they were all hard workers. On my last day, I was sent off with well wishes. Much appreciated that they treated a short-term customer with such respect!
(5)
Gail M.

I love this place! I always go here when I'm in the mood for a salad. I usually get the Mandarin Salad or Caesar Salad with grilled chicken. Both are delicious. I docked one star because of the size of the place. It can get pretty crowded during the lunch time rush.
(4)
Emily Z.

Although there isn't much seating, the sandwiches here are great. I'm a sucker for avocados, so I got the California melt on my visit to San Francisco. They really loaded up on avocados, which I loved, and was extremely filling. The bread was really good too, and if you're trying to decide between a sandwich and salad, I'd choose sandwich just for the bread (although I haven't had their salad yet, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.) One sandwich could probably be split into two meals or a meal and a snack if you don't eat a super large amount.
(4)
Jenny S.

I come here most mornings for my breakfast bagel - turkey, avocado and tomato, it's very tasty and they give lots of fresh avocado. I also get the salads here, the chipotle chicken is good and the bread for the sandwiches is tasty and fresh. Great customer service too.
(5)
Jennifer S.

Not that impressed. Food is fine, by the service was terrible. They were very busy with a line out the door, but that's no excuse to ignore people. My friend needed to go up to the counter to ask for something during our meal and they refused to make eye contact.

Lizzy R.

I come here for lunch almost every day lol! They have the best salads. Try there chipotle dressing-so good! Customer service is great here!

I got the avocado, tomato, and bacon sandwich--very simple and very good. I saw one of the employees bringing in buckets of fresh avocados on ice (from a local farmer's market?), which I appreciated. Only complaint: no wifi. There was an open network I was able to use for a while but then it was too slow to be usable. I asked the cashier if they had their own network and he said they didn't--even though Yelp lists it as having free wifi.

I just got the Lemon Garlic Chicken sandwich and it's ridiculously good. The wait wasn't as long as I thought it would be since they were very busy. This is a REAL deli style sandwich!

Popeye says that spinach will make you stronger. I don't know if that's propaganda or just him having an addiction to a leafy vegetable. Either way, the only way I'll eat a spinach salad is if it's prepared at Working Girl's. The dressing, toasted nuts, and dressing are so good. I once ate here every day for two weeks until my spinach salad craving went away. I haven't tried anything else here. Don't need to--since all I want is their spinach salad.

Great sandwiches and salads! Love this place as it is very consistent, fast and affordable. Highly recommend this spot to anyone who works in the area and needs something healthy/fast for lunch, my go-to is the Chinese Salad (I sub Avocado for Chicken).

Just visiting and the first meal of our trip was a disappointment. The coffee has an odd scent and our sandwiches were bland.

Rachel C.

All of the sandwiches looked pretty tantalizing, but being on the West coast, I had to have fresh tomatoes, so I went with the Caprese Sandwich. It was a very good choice, with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, lettuce and balsamic vinaigrette. I also feel like they didn't skimp on the ingredients. Sometimes I feel like when you go for an all veggie sandwich, it's literally a piece of lettuce. Not so with this bad boy! The bun was legit too. I'm not a big fan of baguettes, and while it had the texture of a baguette, it was slightly softer and easier to bite into. Very good choice, if I do say so myself!

Andrew W.

I often come here for lunch as I work just off Montgomery Street, 1 Block away. Working Girl has a very extensive menu. I find myself always going back to the chicken pesto sandwich. It's delicious. Chicken breast in pesto with sundried Tomatoes, provolone cheese on Toasted Foccacia. It has many different sandwiches, salads and also has breakfast items. I haven't been for Breakfast as of yet. I plan on it though. I have ordered the Ceasar Salad and I'll say you get a nice size portion. The shop is small, there is often a line out the door but it moves rather quickly. There is some counter spaces to eat along with about 6 small tables in the back. Most order there food to go. I'd recommend a stop at Working Girl for lunch anytime.

Lillian C.

I stopped by this cafe because I was super hungry and needed something to satisfy my hunger. For this purpose, the cafe was excellent. As for a place that I would actively seek out and take my friends to? Probably not. I had a Cobb salad and it was a pretty large portion and ingredients were fresh. The taste of the salad was okay, but nothing special. Perhaps their sandwiches are better? I'll update the review once I try them.

Candace F.

Can't go wrong with these sandwiches and salads. My go-to salad is the Chipotle salad which is a bit spicy, sour cream, and tortilla chips. It is a big portion for $10. I also like the variety of sandwiches they offer. I try to get a different one every time I order lunch from here. I like all the chicken sandwiches and the California dream (turkey avocado cheese). The eggplant sandwich is a favorite amongst the vegetarians in my group. The service is friendly and fast. The lines get really long so go before 12 noon or call ahead to place your order. The prices have gone up and I can't afford to eat here as often but you can't wrong with anything you order here.
(4)
E. P.

This was my first time trying this place. I'm not usually in the area. But I would definitely come back. My salad was very good (Mandarin Chicken salad) and reasonably priced. The people who worked there were both friendly and efficient. There aren't many tables to eat there, but it's great for take out! Overall, a very positive experience.

Salad lacked dressing and chicken. I ordered a Cesar salad with chicken and anchovies. Came out to $11 dollars for lettuce and stale croutons and hardly any chicken. Ate half of it for lunch at 12, now my tummy hurts.

Such a bad experience. I admit I should be happy finding something open on Sunday in the Financial District, but I think I was more unlucky to find this joint. I got a parmesan sandwich to go. While I am waiting I saw my chicken on a plate with cheese and sauce go into the microwave. Shame on you guys, microwaves are for popcorn! So there is one girl running the microwave and one guy 'working' the cash register only concerned with the girls who walk by and come in. He's looking at photos on one customers iPhone of her 2 Fast 2 Furious car when she says, ' Can we order my food, I only have 15mins.'. Money well spent on that guys wages. If he put that much energy in helping out in there they could have time to heat their food properly. Needless to say the sandwich was forgettable at best. The chicken tasted once frozen, sauce was out of can. No flavor. This is just one item, yes, but the practices I saw in there leads me to believe everything else follows. No return for me.

Awesome place! ! Clean and quick place for lunch. Can't give it 5 stars because they were out of the bread I asked for. But awesome sandwiches. Will be returning to try breakfast soon!

Sandwiches and salads for the working girls in Financial District! They offer a good amount of selections in their sandwiches and salads! Their Prosciutto Sandwich with mozzarella cheese, layers of prosciutto and basil was decent. Their Chicken Parmesan with melted, warm cheese and saucy chicken meat fared better. Their salads were freshly tossed. Their Caesar Salad delivered that Caesar dressing flavor that I prefer pretty well. I like their bottled lemonade and peach juice beverages. It compliments the sandwiches and salads. What a great name to the cafe to promote and give pride to the working girls in the Financial District and beyond!

I ordered the lox combo on the cheese bagel.. absolutely delicious! I would recommend it. Will have to try this place again. A lot of people seem to get salads, so I might have to try one of those.

David C.

If you need a salad and you don't want any nonsense, working girls is your place to go. There are dozens of salads and sandwiches on their menu, but I'll save you time and let you know to get the chipotle chicken salad. Its a mixed salad with assorted greens and romaine topped with tortilla chips, corn, beans and plenty grilled chipotle chicken. You'll get plenty to eat. Enough for two moderate meals. There is always a line from 11-2 but they take orders fast and you get your salad in no time. The sandwiches sound interesting, but stick with what 90% of the people order: the salads.
(5)
Misha T.

I was kinda disappointed. The california melt isn't bad but in a city where I truly believe we have the best sandwiches in the country (seriously, Ike's, Lous, Sentinel, Darwin, Morty, etc. it's a wonderful life), Working Girls' Cafe just doesn't rate.

Madeline S.

I kept hearing about Working Girls as soon as I started working in Union Square. Yesterday a colleague and I went to try the cafe with one thing in mind: the kale and quinoa salad. We ordered and they tell us it's sold out, even though we can see there are many kale salads reserved for pre-callers. We can't decide what we want now so we stand around for a little while and suddenly the cashier says they will make us the kale quinoa salads. Well, praise the lord because this might be my new favorite salad. It's light, tangy, filling, addicting and just too good to even describe. I plan on eating this salad at least once every two weeks as a healthy indulgence. You could add a protein but it really doesn't even need it. Finger licking good!

The kale garlic quinoa salad is the BEST!! Not only is it delicious, it's huge, big enough for 2 meals so definitely worth the $11. Every time I've been there the line is out the door so I always call in ahead of time and they have my order ready at the counter. I haven't tried anything else on the menu because I'm so in love with that salad.
(5)
Kristin C.

I come here almost once a week. My favorite salad in financial district! I am obsessed with the protein quinoa kale salad with garlic dressing and feta cheese. It's not on the regular menu, but it's on a small laminated paper under the main menu that says "featured salad" or something. There's always a line but it goes by very very quick. :). Exactly what you want for the regular workday... quick, easy for takeout, yummy, healthy.

Let me share with you my TRAUMATIZING experience at Working girls: Today, I ordered a beat n goat cheese salad, ate 3/4 of it to then find the biggest DEAD ROACH in it!!!!!! I have never in my life been so disgusted of what I had just ate. The best part of the story is that when I brought it up and showed it to the manager/owner he said: "I'm sorry these things happen"!!?? If you have an appreciation for dead or living roaches in your food then I would definitely suggest you eat their salads. If like me, the view of it makes you instantly puke, DEFINITELY DON'T EAT THERE! #worstfoodexperienceofmylife

Bahar A.

We were pretty satisfied with this place. The lemon garlic chicken is super tasty, which I preferred over the Mexicalli, and the Greek salad was fresh. The muffins looked super good so we got a lemon poppy seed muffin to go. However, my mother thought that the coffee was adequate, but I did enjoy my hot chocolate; it wasn't uber sweet like it is at a lot of places. Lastly, this isn't really a complaint, but something that made us feel a bit uncomfortable there: the man that was working there, who was not young might I add, was checking me out. Kinda creepy.
(4)
Tiffany D.

Holy mackerel! This place was great! I was referred here by the front desk of my hotel and was not disappointed at all! This is a sandwich place that blows Jersey Mike's, Subway, Togo's, Blimpie and all those other food chains out of the water. The food was great, the service was great, and the food was ready speedy quick. I had a sandwich that had California in the title with bacon, avocado, turkey, and other fixings on a soft roll with a side Caesar salad. My boyfriend had the hot Italian with a Caesar salad on the side. We had no leftovers. The servers/owners were extremely friendly and attentive. My boyfriend and I decided to hang out with them and watch a World Cup game.

I'll give this place a solid 4 stars. The place is usually crowded which I consider a good sign, good stuff draws people, nasty food=usually empty. I got the chicken Parm and added a side salad for $3 so it was a bit over $12 total. Over all it was pretty good, I liked the salad more than the sandwich. The salad definitely was more than I expected in a mixed greens side salad, it had candied walnuts, Gorgonzola, & apples...while most side salads are just blah. The sandwich was pretty good, but not amazing, but the menu is pretty expansive I'll definitely be back. I feel like maybe the salads here are the star of the restaurant. Oh yea and the staff were super friendly and helpful.

Maribel R.

Let me just say this is the best place to get a Sandwich!! Came once and that's all it took for me to come back! I've had a few of their sandwiches and the ones that I recommend are the Spicy Cajun Chicken and the Spicy Thai Chicken Sandwich. The Cajun Sandwich I'd say is medium spicy and the thai is not spicy at all... I completely love this place! sandwiches ranges from $7.50-$9.00 depending if you add cheese or other sides.
(5)
Meredith L.

Tasty sandwiches, great ingredients. Service can be a bit slow and they don't always nail the order (I order no onions and once in awhile I get a bunch of onions). Also a bit pricey, but likely for the top quality ingredients so it is okay. Their salmon sandwiches are especially good.

J S.

Good breakfast sandwich. Got #2 with egg, bacon, and cheese on sourdough. I will definitely come back.

Alexandra I.

This is such a great place! They have so much to choose from and it's all really good. Only downside is that it's so good that so many people come here for lunch that it can be a bit of a wait for your food on some days. My favorite dish that I have gotten is the prosciutto sandwich. SO PERFECT! I loved every bite. The Caprese sandwich is also amazing. They don't put too much balsamic and the tomato is fresh. I've also gotten a couple of the salads when I'm trying to be good and they are yummy and huge!

Jessica T.

I've just recently learned that Working Girls' Cafe offers a kale and quinoa salad (for some reason it's not listed on their main menu). My co-workers ordered it the other day and it looked incredible. It was full of kale and had a nice heaping of quinoa and other vegetables intermingled amongst the green. I stuck with my standard greek salad, but I'm definitely looking forward to returning to Working Girls' for a dose of their lovely charm and their new healthy kale dish. Trust.

I try to eat salads at lunch, if I can help it. No carbo-loading at lunch--makes the 3:00 p.m. caffeine crash that much worse. I've walked by this cafe repeatedly, and thought I would swing by to try it a couple of Fridays ago. I came around 1:00 p.m. in hopes of beating the lunch rush. Fail. I always take my lunch to-go, as I do not usually have time to eat in-house. WGC was pretty full, even after prime lunch hours--there was barely any space for me to wait for my salad. The salad took about 15-20 minutes. It's not the longest I've ever waited, it just wasn't a comfortable wait--there a lot of other people waiting with you. I think my order got lost in the shuffle, as after about 10 minutes they asked me what I was waiting for. I ordered a Cobb salad--which was A-OK. It was dressed appropriately (not too much, not too little), and that deserves an award in and of itself. Like everywhere else in the financial district, salads are a little pricy at WGC. But I have come to expect this. Does anyone know where you can get a decent salad under $10? I sure don't. Maybe I'll try it before noon next time. Not bad!
(3)
Kevin S.

I really like this place. Their filet of salmon sandwich is so good! Oh man, I'm craving for one so bad at this very moment it's making me access my taste buds to try and remember exactly what it tasted like! My latte was 'ordinary'. The service was good and the staff were very friendly and nice. The prices are reasonable. This place is good for brekkie or lunch so, if you happen to be nearby or work in the area, give it a try.

Sangita A.

Delicious and large sized sandwiches! Came here with Renu for lunch on a Wednesday at noon, but it wasn't too busy. It's about $9.72 per sandwich but you can make 2 small meals out of it. Food: Almond Chicken Sandwich- delicious! my fav! It's like a healthy salad put into a sandwich- the cubes of apple were a nice touch Chicken Pesto Sandwich- they don't skimp on the pesto but the chunks of chicken were a little flavorless Service: Funny, sarcastic guy dishing out the orders who likes to give me a hard time when I dont hear my number. Fast and efficient cashiers. Ambience: Small corner establishment with about 4 tables of 2 in the back. I'd come back to try the other sands! -Hungry Hungry Pongy

I was fresh off a 13-hour sleep with more baggage beneath my peepers than Susan Sarandon and Vince Vaughn combined (credit: Family Guy). I'd woken up dreaming of a breakfast bagel fit for a king, stacked with bacon and egg and cheese and possibly hash browns if I could ever get an establishment to agree to such a thing. Working Girls came close . . . their bagel was good, mighty good in fact, but the cheese factor was overwhelming. As in, too much of it. And we're not talking bad yolks (zing!). Put this down to cross-cultural differences, but my bagel drowned in melted, stringy cheddar. Which would be a goldmine if you're a Wisconsonite Cheese Head, but was altogether too much to handle for a non-national who doesn't eat as much cheese as your average Seppo. Could feel my arteries clagging up as I ate. Whuf.

I've walked by the cafe many times, but never walked in. I wasn't too hungry for lunch, but decided to stop somewhere for salad. I randomly chose Working Girls' Cafe...how fitting, I'm a working girl. I looked at their giant menu and settled on the Caprese Salad. I wasn't too happy with the price tag...what, $8.50 for a salad? Ughhh. The lady behind the counter was really nice too. My salad came out in 5 minutes or so. When I saw the size, I immediately felt better about the price. I ate half for lunch and the rest for lunch the next day. Considering that, not bad! Lots of mozzarella, tomatoes, black olives, and mixed greens. It wasn't heavily dressed either; I hate when my salad is drowning. The balance was perfect! Not many seats inside, but I think most people grab and go.

Annie T.

Sweet (ish) people, but disgusting Cobb salad. I like not having to wait in line and being able to sit and enjoy my food, but that all didn't matter because my salad was just dreadful. The avocado was discolored and not fresh, bacon was very salty and stale, the turkey I'm pretty sure was taken from packaged sandwich turkey, and to top it off, the side bread had a moldy taste to it. Nothing about my salad was at all appealing nor satisfying. I won't be coming back.

Hands down my favorite sandwich in town. First off, I am old school, so I like classic style American style sandwiches that taste great, warm, and the prefect balance of softness and crunchiness. I am not a big fan of all the hipster artisan sandwiches that taste like nothing but dead squirrel covered in grass. If you feel me, look no further, this is the place.

My friend and I were pretty hungry after taking a class downtown so we walked over to this place. We were looking for a new place to try and the name kind of made us curious. The place is small and the workers are fairly friendly. I decided to order the Spicy Thai Chicken sandwich and I think my friend got the California BLT or something. He forgot. He also ordered a chai tea for himself. The chai tea was pretty good. Nothing spectacular but not bad. I'd say it was more on the good side than bad but my friend didn't like it. He said it was a little too sweet for him. We didn't eat our sandwiches until much later. We split our sandwiches so we got to try both. The Spicy Thai Chicken was good, but I expected more from the spicy peanut sauce they used. It didn't really taste like peanuts so it was more of a slightly sweet spicy chicken sandwich. I did not like the red onions in the sandwich at all. My friend agrees with me. My friend's BLT type sandwich was good, but more on the average side. The avocados they used were okay, not the best. I honestly don't remember much about this sandwich. Overall, okay place. Good for a quick lunch.

I have been their customer for a long time; because of where I work right now; I don't visit them as often as I used to. The staff is great, fast and friendly. The owners are on hand with their business so it makes the place run in order. The sandwich menu is quite big and not limited to it, you could order salad too. Normally I find palace to seat either in the bar section or table but normally people come here to pick up their "to go" order. There are many alternatives on this street but because of tasty food, friendly service; I normally go to this place and I highly suggest it.

Working Girls' Cafe ( San Francisco ) ...No " Working Girls" here...Just girls working. Wandering the crowded streets of downtown SF (near Union Square) in search of some action...for my stomach. Running on an empty tank and belly making all kinds of funny growling noises (sh@t)...People seem so restless today but I'm about to show THEM ALL RESTLESS, unless I get fed soon... This little chinese lady's arm beside me is looking real edible right about now. My affinity for asian women is well-documented. No yellow fever...but may break out into a feverish pitch if someone doesn't direct me to the nearest & bestest (not a word) lunch spot. I'm no "John" but stumbled into Working Girls' Cafe on Kearny St. Not what I expected as the name conjures up a vastly different portrait of what this place should look like -in my mind...So for 20 bucks, the only pair of breasts I got to touch were those in the Teriyaki Chicken & Spicy Cajun Chicken sandwiches....;) -tigre

Torn on this review. Decided to try the place out based on the Yelp reviews. I ordered the California Melt. It was delicious. That is until i got to the center of my sandwich. There was a long black hair sticking out of it. Made me sick. That went into the trash. Quality control may be needed here. May be a one off accident. Still sucked.

Really good sandwich/soup and salad spot. Worth trying the Italian sub (sooo good!!) and the Chipotle salad is very tasty as well. I work up the street so coming here is very convenient but also worth it! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Good salads, however they recently raised their prices and then followed that up with reducing the portion size. Very disappointing to pay $11 for a salad and the container is only half full. I will not be returning to Working Girls Cafe unless they either lower their prices or return their portions to actually fill the container that their putting the salad into...

I found this place TOTALLY by accident, when the other place I went to was closed. I was NOT disappointed! I ordered the Avocado Turkey Cream Cheese and Tomato Bagel on Asiago, which was delicious! This place was so good that I tried to go back the next day. Unfortunately, by 10am, they had already run out of bagels, which definitely says something about the place.looking forward to my next visit already!

California melt is by far my favorite, but the chicken pesto and the chipotle chicken salad aren't far behind! Seriously amazing.

I really liked this place for a couple of reasons. 1) quick 2) good salad options. As a vegetarian I appreciate a menu that offers yummy and varied options. The spinach salad I ordered was substituted with a mixed greens blend bc they were out of spinach but it was a great proportion- good bang for buck- and delicious. The house dressing was a sesame ginger variety and was amazing. Bottom line is I would repeat offend :)

Rarely do I ever stray away from my tried and true lunch spots, but last week I made an exception. The boyfriend and I decided to venture away from the Jackson Square area and try out Working Girls' Cafe. The sign outside advertising salads and sandwiches immediately drew us in. They have a pretty long list of salads and sandwiches but I eventually ordered the Cobb salad for ~$9. It was HUGE! I could barely finish it but it was extremely tasty. I really like the fact that Working Girls' puts a lot of time and effort into their food and only use fresh ingredients. Everything in my salad was crunchy, fresh, and delicious. I only wish that they added egg into their Cobb salads. Service was fast and kind. The staff at Working Girls' is quick with their food prep and with handling groups during the lunch rush. If you are tired of all the lunch spots in the FiDi, take a little walk to Working Girls'. They have a variety of salads, soups, and sandwiches, all at decent prices, and made and served with a smile.

They have a delicious kale and quinoa salad here! I've tried kale and quinoa salads at other places nearby and this one is delicious. It has a tangy lemon vinaigrette and has a Greek salad flavor. The kale is not tough but tender (one other place a block away could learn a thing or two on this front). Service is super fast! Highly recommend!

Esther C.

It's your standard deli. While everything I tried during my San Francisco never fell short of amazing. This place in comparison was definitely the place I least liked. I was expecting some amazing, unique flavors or interesting sandwich combinations but did not get what I was expecting. Maybe it's my own fault that I went in with high expectations. BUT do not get me wrong, the food was good here -- just, not amazing. If your visit is limited, I would pass on going here, otherwise, it's great for the occasional visit. ** I did like that this was a nice mom & pop shop.
(3)
David S.

I'm not sure I like this place. The sandwiches seem to all be a little too complex for my tastes, with lots of sauces. When I walk in and look at the menu, nothing ever jumps out at me as an obvious win, so I sit pensive for a few moments more, but still they all seem unappetizing.

Got their blackened red snapper - it was kind of meh because the fish was all mushy (it's not a filet). I miss Ironside's blackened red snapper sandwich.

Fast and easy, that's the way we like our lunch here in Financial District. A big menu on your left hung high up on the wall, figure out what you want, order, 10 minutes later, you are enjoying your lunch. Straight and forward so you don't have to waste half your lunch hour waiting for your food to get prepared and packaged. Don't get me know, these are not pre-packaged food, they make it when you order it. It's just that they are more efficient and got the whole system down so everything runs smoothly and delivered promptly. Got the Caprese Sandwich and I loved how the bread was toasted, it had a nice crunch. The ingredients tasted fresh and I was content with my lunch. I made it back to work with a full belly and time to spare.

10$ will get you a solid sandwich. A bit on the pricy side if you ask me.

I have only been here one time, and tried the recommended prosciutto sandwich. I thought the sandwich was exceptional. The bread was warm and soft, even though the contents of the sandwich, the mozzarella, the prosciutto, the tomatoes and lettuce were cold. It worked very well, and was very flavorful. The sandwich was filling and generous in portion. I will definitely be back to try more here.

Blackened red snapper sandwich was delicious. Real big for the price. Field of green salad also tasty, got the side salad six for $3. Lettuce fresh. Walnuts were candied but not overly sweet. Two of us shared the sandwich/salad.

how have i never reviewed working girls?! it's about time, because i love this place. everything i have tried from working girls is amazing. they have great salads, sandwiches and breakfast bagels. the employees are all very friendly and helpful, but prompt as well. good coffee too! i'm thankful that working girls is close to my work. i love getting takeout here when i can.

One of the best cobb salads I've had (and I'm pretty picky). Fresh, REAL ingredients. Excellent Gorgonzola. My mom loved her California Melt. The proprietor gave my little brothers chips on the house, and called my dad "boss." What more do you want?

Working Girls' Cafe is a decent lunch spot but surrounded by other stellar options, it has its work cut out trying to stand out from the crowd. It can be a little confusing when you walk in. There's a line to order and a group of folks waiting for their orders. The two often blend together so it's worth asking which is which. I had the soup and small salad combination and for around $8, it's pretty decent. I had the Greek salad which was chocked full of olives, tomatoes, feta, and pepperoncinis. In regards to the soup, I'm actually not sure what I got. I think it was some bean stew which was decent but the next time I'm here, I'll just probably get a full-sized Greek salad or try one of their many sandwiches which seem to be the main draw here. I'm probably not going to be a regular at Working Girls' Cafe but I think it's still an option. With that said, there are some many choices along Kearney that it might be a while before our return visit.

Cesie A.

I got the Mexican (?) sandwich this time. WOW sooo good! It was a super messy sandwich because of all the avocado and sauces on it so I definitely don't suggest this if you're trying to eat with a new friend or potential lover. But it's a great eat-at-my-desk sandwich. Stuffed with beans, corn, chicken, cheese, salsa, avocado. YUM

Customer service was really good despite being packed. My sandwhich was tasty and met my expectations. What more can you ask for?!? :-)

Working Girl Cafe is super close to my office so I stop by here for lunch sometimes. I usually get the Greek salad. It comes with tomato, cucumber, red onion, pepperoncini, kalamata olives, feta cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, and a little bit of mint. It really good if you are looking for a light lunch. I have also had their bbq beef sandwich which comes with roasted beef, pepper jack, BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomato, mayo, red onion on a toasted French roll. It is delicious, I do not order this as often as it is a heavier menu choice than the Greek salad. There is usually a little bit of a wait for this place at lunch time, but it is worth it.
(4)
Christine H.

I really like their beet salad though I have also heard the prosciutto sandwich is something to behold. The Timing is very hit or miss but the salads are generously sized and come with a slice of bread. Chipotle chicken salad is really good too. A good regular lunch place.

This place actually makes me crave salads. Yummy Greek salads with added chicken :) Very crowded at peak lunch hours, which is a good sign. But , they process orders with the speed of light.

I bought the mixed green salad with chicken. The box costs $10 and it was not full. I sort of wondered why it felt so light because in the past, they stuffed that box to the rim. Do not get the salad. It is a rip off. Sandwiches are still worth it.

David O.

These guys make a pretty tasty roasted eggplant sandwich, served with red peppers and feta cheese on Focaccia bread. It's a tasty lunch and I think I've ordered it 3 or 4 times now. I've also tried their Southwest chicken sandwich which was quite good. If you're looking for a solid and fresh sandwich in the FiDi, you will find exactly that at Working Girls' Cafe!

OH NO THEY DIDN'T JUST MAKE MY HOT-COCOA WITH.... (4 stars) ghirardelli chocolate (4 star alone)!!!! Yup, they busted out with the Ghirardelli. This is one of my favorite places to get some hot cocoa near the office. But when ordering toast is another story. - food & beverage, good - prices, eh fair i guess - service, they need to pay better attention - ambiance, reminds me of my highschool's corner store near the cafeteria HEFFER-STYLE STATUS. I usually order two things from here 1) hot beverage and 2) toast with butter. HOT BEVERAGE (hot chocolate) - GHIRARDELLI, need i say more? HOT BEVERAGE (latte) - Pretty smooth taste. I'm not sure what kind of beans they use but its not high quality nor gas station quality. WHITE TOAST w/ Butter - I've asked this a few times and by the time i get to the office to take my first breakfast bite its always (with a f'd up expression on my face) "toasted sourdough with butter?". Maybe the staff needs to know the difference between their bread loafs, just because it looks white doesnt mean it's plain white bread. I'm tired of sourdough with better, who orders that? Doesn't taste too thrilling. Will I be back? Not everyday, occassional swing bys. Until the next review....

I'm probably here too much for lunch, but it's close and really, really good. And I've had the salmon filet sandwich more than anything; I highly recommend it if you don't mind waiting a little longer for it. They take a thick, fresh piece of salmon, filet it, slap it on toasted focaccia and cover it with a lemon caper sauce, lettuce, tomato, mayo and red onions. Lovely. However, my focaccia was a little over toasted once, but it wasn't the end of the world. The California Melt is my other favorite. But everything is made-to-order, fresh and reasonably priced. And they're all really friendly. It's for working boys, too.

Stumbled upon this place while walking to Subway on my lunch break. It is much better than Subway and I'm glad I found it. The outside isn't super glamorous, but don't let that fool you. It's always pretty busy around lunchtime, so I suggest calling in your order if you are in a hurry. They are pretty good at getting things out quickly though. They have a large menu with salads and sandwiches as well as pastries and coffee. I have only had their salads and this is one of the only places in the area I'll go for salad. The caesar dressing is delicious and the portions are hefty. You can add chicken, tuna, or other protein to your salads as well. I have yet to actually finish a salad I've ordered. I've been meaning to try their sandwiches and I've heard good things. The service is fast and friendly, even though they get busy around noon. If you are looking for a place to grab a salad or sandwich at lunch, I would definitely recommend checking Working Girls out!

So today, i forgot my lunch. I usually bring my lunch to work so i don't eat out much. I was starving so i asked my coworkers to give me some recommendations on where to go for my lunch and one of them mentioned working girls cafe, and highly recommended the chipotle Chicken salad. Then my other two co-workers talked about how they just had their sandwiches form there earlier. So i figure ill give it a try. I decided to try their salad even though i didn't like salad to begin with because my co-worker said it is really good. I am not a fan of salad, or should i said "Was" not a fan of salad, never liked it, but when i tried the Chipotle Chicken Salad... my whole perspective on salad changed... it was soooo Good!!!! So good that it changed me from hating salad to liking it!! BEST salad I ate and probably will be the one place I will eat salad from. Also,Will definitely come back to try out their sandwiches and other items they have to offer. Also, Great service, the staff is friendly and nice! Could this be Love at first taste??....

Filet of Salmon Sandwich - Definitely a fan. Teriyaki Chicken Breast Sandwich - very mediocre. Chicken wasn't cooked that well, and the pineapple made things marginally better for me. Breakfast sandwiches are mediocre. Nothing to be wowed with. Friendly staff.

Decent food, but the service could use some polishing. We stopped in here for a quick breakfast - I ordered an English Muffin with turkey, eggs, and cheese, my boyfriend ordered a bagel with butter & jam, and my friends ordered a variety of other breakfast sandwiches. The pricing was pretty good, but the pick-up was a little confusing - our receipts had numbers on them, but they didn't appear to be calling out any numbers, just throwing wrapped-up food stuffs on the counter. When we went up to investigate, the man who was running the show looked at us as if we were stupid for not knowing which was which....even tho all the sandwiches were unlabeled. We grabbed what he told us was ours, walked back to our table to unwrap, and found we were missing the bagel. The man ran over, looked at my receipt, and promptly said "Oh, she charged you for the bagel, but not the butter & jam - *sigh*. I guess it's ok. I'll make you one now" and ran behind the counter to make one. He appeared shortly with the bagel, but still seemed displeased that we did not pay for the butter & jam...so much so that when I bought a few bottles of water before I left, I had to actually ASK for my 30 cents change. He simply took my $3 for the $2.70 charge, put it in the till, closed it, and then picked up the phone. He was...just planning on keeping it, I guess. Even though my breakfast sammich was tasty, I don't think I'll be headed back here - and that man's attitude makes me want to warn everyone else to stay away too.

Don't get me wrong, Working Girls makes decent food; the only problem is that it's not really what I'm expecting. Recently, I've been having a craving for salad. So I gave their Cobb Salad a try - it was okay, decent ingredients, but skimped on the good stuff - avocado, bacon, bleu cheese, and chicken (actually they put turkey instead chicken which loses points with me). Altogether, it was an okay salad, but I would hardly call it a Cobb salad. I gave them another shot - this time their Caesar Salad - and again, I got something that was decent, but again didn't feel like the right thing. First off, they ran out of anchovies - and Caesar Salad without anchovies ain't a caesar salad. Furthermore, they used a very acidic dressing that suspiciously tasted like the same vinaigrette from the Cobb Salad. And a caesar salad without caesar salad dressing ain't a caesar salad... Again, they make tasty salads, but I don't know if I could go back just out of principle. I feel a little bamboozled, but nevertheless, the food is decent.

It all started with the frozen yogurt, no it's not fat free, but a creamy and delicious chocolate and vanilla swirl. Note to self: Must get lunch before desert. The rest of the time, I get salads at Working Girls, the Cobb salad is my favorite, one I can highly recommend. The girls are definitely hard working and worth a try, excellent for lunch on the go --- Go Girls!

I've had the pleasure of eating working girls twice, thanks to our CFO! The first time I ordered the Chipotle Chix salad and the Second time I ordered the Cobb salad. I scarfed both of them down! OMG, besides Pluto's I love WG's salads! They are nice and green and so damn yummy! Couldn't get any better!

Caitlin B.

5 stars for the chipotle chicken salad, which I first got after reading a recommendation here, and it is big! I get it without the sour cream, and go back and forth on whether I get the chips and or cheese as well. Even without those ingredients though it's still delicious and has lots of stuff in it: mixed lettuce, spicy chicken, red bell pepper, red onion, black beans, and corn. yum.

So, I am walking back from picking up the B2B costume from Hannala and I need a place to eat on my way back to work, and I like sandwiches and then a light came down in the foggy cold spring time weather- "Working Girl's Cafe" appears. Turkey sandwich is fan-tastic. I forgot to ask for regular mustard (Damn it!)- but despite the burning mouth from "Grey pupon" my sandwich was tasty! I will admit, I am a sandwich snob... I love them and there are very few places in my mind that hold up to the Holy Rhineland Deli in Thousand Oaks, CA. Working girl comes close. Now, you may be wondering why I only gave it 4 stars if I liked it so much? Well, the sheer number of specialty sandwiches is overwhelming and I really want this place to earn its 5 stars. I think next up is the salads, the women ahead of me got one, and it also looked tasty. The line moved quickly and the employees seemed nice. No one is angry like at Max's market. Oh and sandwich & chips was only 7.50- not bad in the FiDi! [Edit]- I actually went back today (5-16) and got the California Melt. Awesome. Seriously yum! I think I will have the salad tomorrow! Their Cobb looks tasty! [Edit #2]- I went back today for their Cobb salad. I was not a fan. I can't bump this place up to 5 stars just yet. 1st of all, the Cobb salad didn't have egg on it!? what is that! if I am paying 8 bucks for a Cobb salad I want egg on it! I also didn't enjoy it because I don't like feta cheese, but that isn't their fault I forgot to tell him. They also changed the dressing for me because I don't like vinaigrette, so they earned some points back, Over all the salad experience was a little bit of a let down... I am willing to try the chicken Cesar... to be fair, a non-deli snob would probably rave about the salad, but I just was disappointed. Maybe I expected too much because the sandwiches are amazing... who knows. I will probably stick with the sandwiches from now on though.

This place has quality sandwiches and salads. I used to eat here probably three times a week when I was working nearby. They really have quality ingredients and some tasty sandwiches. Although it can get really busy during lunch they get your order to you quickly as the guys working there are in overdrive functioning in unison like a well oiled sandwich making machine . You can get a side salad for $2 when ordering a sandwich (which is a lot of food). These sandwiches are sweet goodness.

Lisa C.

I ordered a prosciutto sandwich for $7.95. For that price, I was anticipating it to be really something special, but it was not. In fact, it tasted downright weird. It had prosciutto, lettuce, basil, tomato and some sort of weird cheese. At least I think it was cheese. Instead of a french roll, they used a sesame seed roll. Normally I clean my plate, whether I like the food, or not, just as my mother taught me. But after eating 2/3 of the sandwich, I had to throw the rest away. Oh, well, better luck next meal.

H. L.

meh. i came and ordered a vegetarian sandwich, which you get to pick four toppings for (95 cents charge per topping if it's an add-on). i only wanted two, so i thought it would be okay to upgrade to focaccia bread (95 cents extra), but apparently not because she charged me for it. I asked her wouldn't it make sense that since i am not getting four toppings to let me substitute it for the bread? nope. so i got this sandwich that just had cheese and avocado for $8.50. seriously? i'm never coming back here again with the bad customer service and the outrageous price.

John F.

Maybe they need to hire a couple men.... I was excited to try this place after reading all the reviews. Maybe it was over hyped... it is over PRICED for sure! My sandwich was OK... not BAD... not great... just OK. I do not think this place is better then most of the other sandwich places in the area.

Derek B.

I must have walked past this place 53 times over the last two years on my way to the Subway around the corner (and I must have walked by the one on New Montgomery at least 23 times on the way to Chipotle). While you can't enjoy affordability of a $4.95 six-inch turkey sub or the calories of an enormously delicious fat burrito, I have to say this might be my new favorite sandwich shop within a five block radius of my office (Sutter & Montgomery). A sandwich with chips and soda is going to set you back about $9 which is pushing it in terms of lunch in the FiDi these days, but I think it's worth it. Tons of choices and flexibility with the menu and overall efficient service. I've never seen it get too crazy during lunch hours and sure beats the hell that is The Crock(er Galleria).

Update 7/16 went back for some froyo since Cafe Ambrosia had a big line and it was super good. Creamy, and they blended the toppings in the middle, not just on top. Good stuff- but because of the prices, I'm still keeping it at 3 stars. --------------------------------------------------Â------------------------------------ Line moves quickly and on a nice day, waiting outside for a bit is not so bad. Don't think I'd go on a rainy day though. Got a large greek salad. Was about the same size and price of a Mixt Greens salad. Good, but I think I'll just stick with Mixt Greens so I can change up the ingredients when I want to. Menu looks interesting (especially the frozen yogurt) so I'm sure I'll be back - just not for the expensive salads probably.

Not just for the ladies... although this has a different meaning in the context of my review for Working Girls. They make some tasty sandwiches. Pricey though with their recent fee increase. I can't comment too much as I really only order their Salmon fillet and Prosciutto sandwiches but just based on those I say 4 stars. What can I say they're tasty? Plus they have frogurt. I come here for lunch a lot and AJ is now my home skillet. Conclusion: If eating here makes me a lady, then me and my uterus are A-ok.

Melissa B.

If you are a creature of habit- this could be a good lunch spot for you. The food is very consistent in quality and portions. I eat here way toooo much because I work close by. If I get busy and dont have time to go out they even deliver. The price is reasonable, and I have had many of their sandwiches and salads- all good. My new flavor of the week- the hot and toasty California Melt. deeeelicious!

They have a good selection of bagel sandwiches. If you go later in the day, the variety of bagels to choose from diminishes. But my smoked salmon with cream cheese, red onions and capers on a plain bagel was still good. The salmon tasted pretty fresh and the capers and red onion complimented the richness of the cream cheese and salmon. It's not a sandwich that I would rave about, but one that I would recommend.

I found it a bit ironic how there were no 'working girls' here but every customer who came here, with me being the exception, was a woman. I ordered a greek salad. It was quite good and big for the money. It also comes with a piece of fresh bread. The service was super nice and helpful. If you were in the area, I would recommend this place for a quick snack or lunch.

With a name like "Working Girls' Cafe," I wasn't sure exactly what to expect. Down the street is a hair-stylist place named, Blow, so if they take these innuendo names much further, I'm going to have to start carrying a roll of $1 bills with me when I go to lunch. But I digress... It was a late lunch on a brisk afternoon. Inside, a bunch of "working girls" were hovering behind the counter, just waiting for me to order. I says, "What's better? The BBQ Pork or the Blackened Snapper sandwich?" She says in a heavy spanish accent, "Well, I don't know, but I like the Snapper.' I says, "Sold!" at $7.25 plus tax. Here's a few bullets of my experience: -Felt like a number, just another customer to interrupt the employee conversations. -Staff was O.K. -Service was quick -Sandwich was damn tasty While waiting, the women making my sandwich kept looking at me. Almost as if she was saying to herself, "There's the guy. The guy I'm making the sandwich for. I hope he likes it. He's sitting down waiting. I'm going too slow. No I'm not, this is the same speed I always make sandwiches. All done. Will he like the sandwich? I could care less." Instead of handing me the sandwich now that we had such a deep "glance relationship" going, she took it to the cashier who bagged it up and handed it to me. Disappointing. The service would have been excellent if she handed it to me with a smile. Oh well, opportunity lost. Will I go back? Maybe for the snapper and a few more glances.

I've been happy with every sandwich I've ever purchased. They're great about customizing. They're friendly and fast. Great for a quick lunch on the go. For a specialty sandwich (ie, chicken curry grilled with cheese, tomatoes, onion, lettuce on focaccia), I thought $7 was at the high limit of what I wanted to pay, but that is considered reasonable for the area.

do NOT order the chipotle chicken salad unless you really really really really really like chipotle. I will amend with future meals, but this salad sucks the big one, too much dressing, not enough tomatoes or red bell peppers, wayyyy to much chipotle.

Popular place to grab a quickie in the morning~ Nice Coffee selection, Bagels options and Full breakfast sandwich menu. The location is very convenient~ set right in the middle of the morning traffic~ The service is very friendly and effecient~ quick enough to ship you right back out on your way to spend beautiful sunny day in the cubical world without any further delay. The coffee is fresh, the bagel is decent~ So, Come On Down!!

I must say I was very pleasantly surprised by the tastiness factor of their baby spinach salad. The dressing was simply amazing! It was a pretty good size too so I filled up and didn't feel the need to graze on the bread they supplied. The bread I must admit wasn't anything to write home about - pretty plain and not very tasty. But the salad was great. Also, my friends got sandwiches and pretty much devoured them so I am going to go out on a limb and say they enjoyed them! There isn't too much space to sit and eat and the out door tables don't have much of a view or a pleasant feeling to them. But it's definitely great grab and go food and if I'm ever in that area again, I'm definitely going back!

Everything is top notch! I love the sandwiches. It's hard to choose from the large variety. There is not a better egg and bagel sandwich in the area. It's made fresh and is good quality. It's also a great place to a frozen yogurt with candy toppings. What a nice break in the day! It's also my favorite place to get a good cup of coffee. The flavor is bold, but not overpowering.

i could write something witty about this place, but i've used up all of my wit today. plus, i think i'm a little hungover. this is why i hightailed it down to working girls for a roast beef sandwich with everything (hold the onions, hold the cheese) on whole wheat toast, and came right back down to the computer to write more titillating office correspondence to colleagues in the field. i have 2 staples at working girls: the tuna sandwich and the roast beef. tuna for when i need protein, and the beef for when i'm slightly famished or hungover. whee...hangovers are the best because i get to eat roast beef.

Really like the proscuitto sandwich. Cobb Salad was huge, lasted for two meals. They have really fast service, which is great for a working girl :) and once I saw that they had Red Velvet fro yo, it was intriguing and next time I will def. try it!

Super Service!!! We went on a Sat afternoon before our daughter's Halloween Carnival. Got a Fire Roast Pork Sandwich and Prosciutto Sandwich. Our daughter was having a hard time with the sandwich, which was on a toasted, seeded roll and she finally gave up (she just got her braces). The counter guy (shoulda gotten his name) saw that she wasn't eating and he made up a Ham & Swiss sandwich on softer bread for her and she ate up. Even got her a frozen yogurt for after. The sandwiches were good, but where else can you find people who actually watch and care about your dining experience? Most places would have just let us eat our sandwiches and go, but this guy was concerned enough about our daughter that he took the time to make a sandwich just for her. 5 stars for the service - 4.5 for the food. Will definitely be back.

Thank God for Working Girls Cafe at the corner of Bush and Kearney. I love the #2 breakfast sandwich and their coffee is really good. You can not beat a large coffee and a "real" fresh bagel with cream cheese for $4.00. Also love the chicken salad sandwich....really yummy. Overall it lives up to it's name. Good, fresh and healthy food at an affordable price. Also the folks who work there are always friendly, generous and super fast.

I have never eaten a sandwich so fast. Thank you fellow Yelpers for recommending the Caprese, it was really perfect. One star off (for now) because I ordered take-out, and have no clue what the place looks like inside.

The yogurt they make that comes with fruits, oatmeal, and cinnamon, is absoulutly great!!! The dark skin man (i think he is egyptian) helped me out. He is so nice all the time! Great attitude for waking up so early in the morning! I was expecting the bottled water to be $1, but it is over priced, so I couldn't by it, (i didn't have time to go to the ATM) and he said I can pay for it the next time I come in. How many places can be as supportive as he? He is great! and the yogurt is great, which he makes... and he is such a nice guy!

First of all, it shares its name with one of the greatest movies of all time. That automatically makes it appealing. There are a few great points for any Working Girl's Cafe, first being the Chipotle Chicken Salad. It is delicious! Fresh corn, spicy Chicken, tortilla chips, sour cream and grape tomatoes really do make for a winning combination. Secondly, they offer great frozen yogurt. I truly get a tickle when the Mint is in stock of offered. They are generous with their portion and their toppings. Now, word of warning when it comes to their sandwiches.....they often toast the hell out of their bread. A little crunch is great, but shattering bread on a Caprese sandwich is really unappealing. Just make sure you ask them NOT to toast the bread!

Alright gentlemen, we've all been there. Union Square, shopping with the girl: you lost a bet OR you really do like seeing the little lady try on the latest pair of $800 Louboutins. But somewhere between Gucci, and Banana Republic she gets hungry. Inevitably, you ask: "what are you hungry for?" and you hear the dreaded response "Something light and healthy". I'd rather hear "Stick em up and gimme your wallet!" in a dark alley. BUT, never fear, this cafe is a hop skip and a jump around the corner from Banana R and all points on the northern end of Union Square. Good food, made to order. I had a broiled salmon sandwich, pretty tasty. The girl had some sort of salad, with light dressing etc etc. Anyway, the staff was super helpful and accomodating. Prices were good, I think it was less than $20 for us to have lunch. I'm keeping this place in mind . . . I may not dread the next time I hear the dreaded 4 words shopping in SF again.

3.95 for a huge bagel sandwich with turkey, 2 kinds of melted cheese, tomato and a toasted bagel is the best sandwich deal in the area. I added a little Tobasco because they don't use much seasoning (Ask for some from behind the counter) The place is clean, the employees are very friendly. Only complaint on my visit was that I tried to fill a water bottle from the water tap in the soda fountain and water went everywhere because the stream is too wide. Will definitely be back!

: D I was visiting a friend that works next door to this cafe and decided to drop in for a muffin. I like muffins and I've tried a lot of random-flavored muffins. I also really like tea. A lot. Which is why I'm getting my teeth whitened ; ) So I decide to get a muffin and tea (no surprise) and I see an unusual muffin. I ask the dude "What muffin is that?" and he's like "Take a guess. If you guess correctly I'll give it to you for free!" So I take a second and observe the texture and colors and go "I see zucchini and carrots but I don't know what it's called..." so he goes "So if there's zucchini and carrots it's a ____" and I say "Carrot-Zucchini Muffin??" Free muffffffffffinnnn!! ; D I got the Yerba Mate too. Man that was good. They bake everything by the way. I prefer non-Starbucks cafes.

You can get yummy sandwiches here for lunch! This place is close to my workplace and I go here occasionally when I feel like a tasty sandwich.

I walk by this place every morning en route to work.. and I stop about once a week. All of the yummy breakfast sandwiches and muffins get me in trouble!!! Oh well for healthy eating! The orange juice is delish and I really love the yogurt/berry parfaits!

Working Girls is a good little shop. A block from my office and a great place to fill that afternoon snack need. I like to go with the frozen yogurt. The have fun flavors and they mix it up from time to time as well. The salads are also a treat. If you are a big salad person, this is the place for you. I tried a sandwich there. It was tasty but hardly filling. If I am going to pay 7-8$ for a sandwich give me something that is going to fill me up otherwise I can go to Quiznos around the corner and get my $'s worth.

Had the blacked snapper sandwich because it's not something you can get just anywhere. It had good flavor, but the insides kept falling out, so I had to alternate between picking up the fish and putting it in my mouth and biting the empty sandwich. Messy, but it was good. Not the cheapest of places--about $8/sandwich. Eh.

Totally dependable place for a workweek lunch, but the name sounds like it's for hookers. But I'm not a hooker. Although I am a writer, which is a different kind of whoring.

Bumping this up a star...am finally getting looked in the eyes when I order, and am 100% hooked on the greek salad. And...the real plus? They have COKE ZERO ON TAP. This, my friends, earns Working Girls' my undying devotion.

Um, I only have but a few words for this place and they are as follows.... Hot Pastrami on Rye with the works. *wipes mouth with back of hand after a meal packed with tasty glee* That is all.

I really liked this restaurant and a huge plus for being open on the weekeneds. the only two things i have tried are the mexicali sandwhich which was great. it is also quick and priced reasonably.

I just discovered Working Girls last week and it's quickly becoming a staple. I've been "accidentally" forgetting to bring lunch so I could come here. My favorite is the prosciutto sandwich (prosciutto, mozzarella, lettuce, olive oil, and pepper on a toasted bun, $8). So simple, yet so flavorful. I'll get that and a bag of Dirty BBQ chips and I'll be in a good mood for the rest of the day. And I'll even walk from BART an extra two blocks past my building to get a lox bagel ($5.25) here for breakfast (and if you know me, you'll know that I HATE to walk).
(5)
Nancy J.

I am so sad that I no longer work near a Working Girls! My staple is the prosciutto sandwich with fresh mozzarella & olive oil, vinegar, tomato, lettuce salt & pepper on a toasted french baguette. YUM. They give you so much prosciutto it's insane. And their salads are good as well, especially the Chipotle Chicken and the Mandarin Chicken. DEElicious! They also have frozen yogurt!! Not the tart kind that I like, but still good with lots of flavors.

This two star rating is based on value alone. I use to come to Working Girl pretty regularly. Their sandwiches good. Nothing amazing, but good. I went back for the first time in a while today to discover that the same basic sandwich that I grew accustom to is now 8+ dollars. I don't have a problem paying $8 for a good sandwich like at Sentinel, but these are nothing that great to tell you the truth. For the money, two stars

So glad I found this place. They have the best chipotle chicken salad in the financial district. Yummers! In fact, I'm getting that for lunch tomorrow. :)

The staff was really nice and efficient but I ordered the Cobb salad and it was the most boring salad I've had in a long time. The bacon wasn't of high caliber and the vinaigrette was pretty much tasteless. If I'm in a pinch I'll go back and try something else, see if this was an anomaly.

This is a great place for salads. My boss got me started on their Cobb salad which is great. However, I was disappointed recently when they switched to a new and smaller recyclable type of container (I applaud to the fact that the new one is recyclable). The salads are now smaller and a little more expensive as well. But it is still a great place. I love that even in rush hour you can get your food really quickly.

Last Monday I was on my way to get my eyes checked, and stopped into working girl's cafÃ© for some breakfast. I didn't have much time, so I got a cranberry muffin and an iced latte. The people were nice enough, there was no line (it was probably 1030 though) and my breakfast was tasty. The muffin wasn't the best ever muffin or anything but it wasn't bad. Your average muffin. The inside isn't that cute, so I would recommend taking your breakfast to go, like I did, although there are some seats there if you have no place to go and outside is chilly (which is often). I would come back, esp to try the lunch. Plus, I love the name lol.

Colleen B.

I really need to try something different when I come here, they have a good selection - and everything on the menu sounds great..........but I'm stuck on their Salmon Sandwich. Fresh salmon, never overcooked, caper mayo, red onion lettuce and tomato, served warm and juicy. Best in the financial district!

One thing I have always missed after leaving New York is breakfast shops on every corner, selling cheap breakfast sammies on your way to work. This morning I was in desperate need of some morning grub on the run, when I passed by this shop. The prices were pretty good and they had a lot of breakfast options on top of their lunch options. Service was quick and friendly. And lucky me got to eat a nummy egg, cheese and tomato bagel. Sweet! Gotta try lunch next time.

I really like this place, especially since it's so close to my work. Their prices are weird though (i.e. a plain bagel is $1 but with cream cheese it's $2) I guess it's really good cream cheese. They have yogurt in the morning with a little granola and a bit of fruit for about $5. A little pricey if you ask me. However, what makes up for it are the people that work there. The manager will let you pay later if you don't have enough cash and they will always take a credit card no matter if you just order a cookie. I try not to go there during lunch not only because it's expensive for an everyday meal but because it's so crowded. However, I go there for dessert because they have the best frozen yogurt and they don't just sprinkle the topping on like other places, they give you A LOT of it.

I try my damnedest to bring my lunch to work. I mean, there are so many options when it comes to lunch meats, spreads, pot pies, and campbell's chunky soups. Which is my favorite? Well... I mean, who can say for certain? Today I love the chicken corn chowder, but what will tomorrow bring? I don't know. And when I don't bring my lunch I usually curse myself. I need to be cheap around this city just to pay rent and my phone bill. But at least Working Girls is good enough that I don't feel I'm wasting my money. I usually get the almond chicken salad sandwich. It's tasty, good texture, meat-heavy, fatty. You know, high in all the things I love most. There's a middle eastern guy who seems to run the joint. He's sexy in that pin-me-down, spit-in-my-face, call-me-demeaning-names kinda way. Not that I'm into that, I'm just saying what he's like. In fact, he kind of treats me that way already, and we're not naked and in my bedroom or anything. I'll endure the slight abuse for two reasons: One because it gives me a hard on. And two because that chicken salad is yums.

I always love what i get here. I can hit it up on the way to work for a yummy breakfast sandwich (they dont skimp on anything) and I'm lucky to work but a hop skip and jump away from them so I can say hello at lunch. The cobb salad is delicious, the Caprese, proscuitto, mexicalli, california melt and spicy thai chicken sandwiches have not disappointed me. They've got a lot of options for a lil cafe. You don't wait too long, but the place does get hoppin' around that time of day, when your belly rumbles and your face hits the keyboard if you don't get food soon!
