Our story

About AP's Cafe

AP's Cafe is a small, family-run spot on 24th Street in Noe Valley. We bake Argentinian-style empanadas every day: thin, golden pastry wrapped around generous fillings, from classic Argentinian beef to curry chicken and vegan cauliflower masala.

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.
