Built in 1938, one year after the Golden Gate Bridge was completed, Round House Café is one of the oldest restaurants in the Bay Area.[1] It is a circular Art Deco building built by Finnish-American architect Alfred Finnila and overlooks the bay.[2] In 2021, a local coffee company, Equator Coffees, leased the site.[3][4][5] The diner was renovated in 2012[6] and the gift shop was then removed as a new, official gift shop has been included in the adjacent plaza renovations.[7]
