I always enjoy dessert with a good cup of filtered coffee and Steps of Rome in SF definitely hits the spot. You can get a slice of tiramisu for $4.50 and enjoy a cup of coffee for $1.50. I guess it's not really cheap but a great place to bring friends or just hanging out in the city on a nice evening. They serve entrees as well but I've never been there for that. From what I've seen, portions are decent and look fresh. I definitely recommend the tiramisu or the taratufo.
