Our story

About AP's Cafe

AP's Cafe is a small, family-run spot on 24th Street in Noe Valley. Every day we fold and bake our empanadas by hand, filling them with flavors from kitchens around the world: juicy Argentinian beef with olives and peppers, cozy chicken curry, and our vegan cauliflower masala. Each one comes out golden, flaky and generous.

Alongside the empanadas you'll find our savory pies, soups, sweets and coffee. Grab a quick bite at the window seats, take a box home, or order delivery.
