This week at Noe Cafe

Happy Tuesday, friend. Here is what is happening at Noe Cafe this week: tacos on Thursday, cookies are in the spotlight, and smash burgers back on Saturday.

Thursday: Taco Day with Alfredo

Alfredo is back this Thursday and the menu is stacked. If you have been meaning to catch taco day, this is the week to do it.

Your Taco Is On Us

Show this page to Alfredo on Thursday and your first taco is free. No code, no app, no catch. Just pull it up and he'll hook you up. (5/7 only)

Grab a taco, grab a beer, grab a seat. That's it. That's the plan.

Free Beer Tasting with Original Pattern Brewing

Original Pattern beer tasting at Noe Cafe.

Also happening Thursday: we're hosting a free beer tasting featuring Original Pattern Brewing. If you know them, you already know — they're very well known for their IPAs and they do not mess around.

Come through, try some beer, eat some tacos, hang with the neighborhood. It doesn't get better than that.

Partner Spotlight

Karen's Cookie Kitchen

Karen from Karen's Cookie Kitchen.

If you have ever grabbed a cookie at the cafe, there is a very good chance it was one of Karen's. Karen's Cookie Kitchen has been supplying Noe Cafe with her incredible cookies for over six years — and once you have had one, you understand why we have never looked anywhere else.

Karen has been baking since she was a teenager. Her peanut butter chocolate chip cookie is basically the same recipe she has been perfecting since she was 13 — just a few adjustments along the way. She started selling at the Ferry Building, and now her cookies are at Noe Cafe and the Tap House in Big Sur. What started as a hobby turned into something that genuinely makes people happy.

Next time you're in, grab one. You will not regret it. Follow Karen on Instagram for limited edition flavors and updates.

Saturday: Smash Burgers, 2-7 PM

Saturday afternoon, same drill: smash burgers from 2 to 7 PM. They sell out every single time, so if you want one, come early.

New Pop-Up Alert: French Crêpes Are Coming

Galette House crêpe pop-up.

Big news: this past Sunday we hosted our first-ever crêpe pop-up with Galette House — a lovely French couple making beautiful, authentic crêpes and galettes — and it was a hit.

We're thrilled to announce that Galette House is going to become a regular thing at Noe Cafe. We're still nailing down the schedule, so keep an eye out for dates.

Pop-ups are weather-dependent and schedules can shift. Instagram is still the fastest place to catch day-of updates from us and our pop-up partners.
