Welcome to the Chameleon
The Chameleon is a neighborhood cafe serving gourmet coffee and community. Located in the Russian Hilll neighborhood of San Francisco, we offer a menu of fine foods, free wireless and regularly sponsored exhibitions of local artists.

We recognized an absence of a retreat conducive for reading, writing and relaxing. So, we took an opportunity to apply our interests and experience to provide a space for creativity and to work in the area of our greatest passion--coffee.

Our vision is to be the cafe of choice for San Franciscans and to promote community through a personalized experience.
