Firstly, I feel like the world’s worst food blogger right now. I could’ve sworn that place with the great falafels was called the Blue Moon Cafe, but when I looked it up I found out that was the name of an Asian fusion restaurant all the way on the other side of town. So right now, I really have no idea what this place is called, I just know that it’s somewhere on Haight street, where all the hipsters and people with bad fashion like to hang out (it’s actually less than a block from Coffee to the People).
Anyway, I have nothing but good things to say about this nameless place. I’d heard about falafels for a long time, but honestly, I didn’t know anyone who was into Mediterranean food so I had never eaten one. That certainly changed with a band. Not only was this avocado, rice, burrito, falafel thing the first of its kind that I had ever eaten, but it was delicious. Even though the hummus was much to spicy and just about killed me before I realized I shouldn’t put more on my falafel, it was great.
Like Coffee to the People, I was lucky enough to return a second time to get a falafel for the plane. For about 8 bucks you can get a foot long, foot around falafel that stuffs even me, with my ability to enhale an entire 14″ pizza without much concern for my health. Definitely worthwhile. I wonder if you can get half orders but even if you can’t I think it’s totally worth it since the falafels keep well and you can just toss the second half in the fridge for another time.
Anyway, if I can remember what it’s called I swear I’ll update the post!
EDIT: Thanks to Sharon for jogging my memory on the name of the place!

It’s called Blue Front Cafe, and it’s good stuff, but not exactly authentic Mediterranean cuisine. Are you still in SF? Try Ali Baba’s Cave for the biggest falafel wrap you’ve ever seen. There’s one on Haight also, but try the one in the Mission. (Actually, just try the Mission in general. We have way better vegan food options!)
Hi Sharon! Thanks for helping me out, that name definitely makes sense to me now,
. I’m gone for SF but I hope to return sometime, 
Wow that Falafel looks awesome!
