Great quiet place for good coffee/espresso drinks and breakfast; tried another place on Saturday am and the line was ridiculous. This place we clean spacious and a nice menu. Recommend.

Matcha and mango shaved ice used to be good. Please don’t use the outdoor seating; there’s faeces on the street outside pretty much everyday

Vey good bulgogi sandwich. Maybe if comes with the dipping sauce like the bulgogi sauce will be better.

Joy’s Place has quickly become one of my favorite cafés in San Francisco. I came with a few friends and we ordered the mango bingsoo, green tea bingsoo, and one of their waffles—and honestly, everything was spot on.
The bingsoo was super fluffy and light, almost like freshly fallen snow. The mango one came loaded with fresh fruit and mochi on top, while the green tea bingsoo had a deep matcha flavor that wasn’t overly sweet—just really balanced and satisfying. They even serve condensed milk on the side so you can customize the sweetness, which I really appreciated.
The waffle was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Great portion sizes, super sharable, but also so good you might want your own.
The café itself has such a calm, welcoming vibe. There’s a beautiful plant wall, clean design, and it just feels like a nice place to take a break or catch up with friends. The staff is friendly and the service feels genuine—no rush, just good energy.
If you’re in the area, definitely check out Joy’s Place. Whether you’re a dessert fan or just want a good hangout spot with quality drinks and treats, this place is worth a visit.
Great coffee and snacks! So glad these guys survived lockdown. Probably one of the only coffee places open late in the city with decent wifi.

Food was good but my cashier didn’t even say hi when I walked into the shop, she put my food for there when I clearly said to go, then she didn’t even bother to hand me my food and put it on the counter for me to walk up to her, and then left my coffee in an open container and went to help the next customers with a completely unapproachable demeanor. I tipped her up front and was kind but she treated me like a burden just for being a paying customer, she also put my waffle in an upside down container. Don’t do her job right and she had a terrible attitude, I work a high volume food counter so when I say her service was lacking I know what I’m talking about. It’s a shame to have a negative first impression like that. I hope she has better day.
