Gleaner's famed egg sandwich -- the Painkiller -- resembles Hawai'i in this way; people give it a try, and then they never try anything else. It's that good. Gleaner's has a size-able menu, but I've only ever tried the Painkiller. Their secret? Most say the homemade ketchup. But the cheese is awfully good too. So's the little Hershey's kiss they put on the side. A small, thoroughly cheerful cafe at the northern end of the Italian Market, Gleaner's has great coffee of course, plus a peculiar feeling of being at once discrete and communal, like you could poke your head into any conversation around you at any time without interrupting it. Or huddle in your thoughts undetected. There's no place like Gleaner's. You should go.
Lovely owners, lovely shop. Our first time there, but they were addressing multiple regular customers by name and preparing their “regular.” Hard to find a place like this anymore! Delicious innovative drinks- yum!

I just can't say enough great things about this staff. Life can be chaotic and exhausting, but Gleaners is always a welcome and needed dosage of kindness, simplicity and, of course, caffeine :)
I hope they realize how well loved they are by the neighborhood and beyond. Coffee's great, but wholesome encounters with sincere people is the endlessly more important reason I stop by whenever I can. What a wonderful crew!

Cash-only coffee staple in the Italian Market. Their specialty drinks, coupled with La Colombe beans, makes this place my go-to. Staff are very gracious and friendly as well!
The honey rose latte is particularly delicious if you want to get out of the usual classic espresso offerings. Would recommend!

Greeted by super sweet staff and they made me the most lovely drink that tasted like spring. Called the Petal Pusher- jasmine green tea with rose, vanilla and steamed milk. Highly recommend stopping by this cute little cafe.

My new favorite coffee spot! I ordered one of the specials and I wasn’t disappointed; Half coffee half hot chocolate! What made my experience even more brighter, was the beautiful ladies and their bright attitudes! The art in the shop was so dope and different woman made the quilts on the wall! I will be returning soon!

Amazing customer service. Extremely nice and knowledgeable about the area, felt very welcomed during my first visit. They even put a cute stocking sticker on my cup before giving it to me. The little things matter and Gleaners is doing all of them exceptionally well. Highly highly recommend.
