Super cute vibes. I got my drink to go but if I had time I would have loved to hang around. The ube latte is one of the best I’ve had in SF

Nirvana Soul in SoMa is seriously one of my new favorite spots. Their drinks are incredibly creative — not your typical coffee shop menu, but true one-of-a-kind creations that actually taste as good as they look. You can tell they put a lot of thought and fun into every drink.
The staff is consistently warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. You don’t just feel like a customer here — you feel like part of the community the moment you walk in.
The plant-filled vibe and colorful decor make the whole space feel bright, calming, and inspiring. It’s an awesome place to hang out, get some work done, or just grab something delicious before exploring SoMa.
Highly recommend stopping by — this place absolutely lives up to the hype.

After checking out of the Hyatt I wanted a little something something that was not basic. We thankfully found Nirvana Soul Coffee and it became my favorite in SF. First off, it’s a cute little coffee shop with a few chairs inside to enjoy your drink and bite to eat. There are so many plants inside and cute seasonal decor creating a visually appealing atmosphere. The Lavender Honey Latte was so good, not too sweet, not too strong, just right. It comes with an espresso shot which is just what I needed after a late night. My sister got the peach iced tea and loved it. We easily split the Cheddar Bacon Waffle and it was like nothing I had before. It was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with a cheddar, bacon, and light scallion flavor. It hit the spot so good I was ready to start my day after this treat. It’s clear they put thought and effort into their menu and atmosphere. I can’t wait to go back next time I’m in SF and try something else off their delicious menu.
Cute coffee café (a San José - based business). Their first outpost in San Francisco! I tried a chai latte. It was okay…I just needed a little more sugar & got a few packs to add to my beverage. One of the few open early morning…they open at 7am weekdays & 8am Saturdays. There is food. Looks like the pastries are from Neighborhood Bakehouse (Dogpatch). I find Phil’s beverages to be weak. Happy there is another option near SF’s Caltrains station!!!

I rarely take the time to write reviews, but my experience at NIRVANA Soul coffee shop in San Francisco was so disappointing that I feel compelled to share it.
I have never felt so disrespected at a coffee shop, especially by my own people. The staff member's attitude was completely unacceptable. I simply asked her to pour off a little coffee so I could add more honey—she had filled my cup to the absolute rim, and I didn't want to waste it by dumping it in the trash. As someone who owns coffee shops myself, I know this is a reasonable request.
Instead of accommodating this simple ask, she rudely told me to get out of the way so she could help the other customers—while I was in the middle of politely explaining my request. I told her that if I added the honey with the cup so full, it would spill, so could she please just remove a little coffee first. She curtly replied that she couldn't give me any more honey, only sugar, and refused to pour any coffee out.
I had to walk to the trash can, where coffee spilled everywhere, and then settle for sugar instead of the honey I requested. So now I have a mixed drink with honey and sugar, lol. Throughout this entire interaction, her attitude was over the top and unprofessional. I had to tell her to calm down, and she responded with a smart remark. As a brother, I didn't want to disrespect her, so I kept my composure, said nothing more, and left.
I intentionally passed up another coffee type of establishment just a door down because I saw what appeared to be a Black-owned business and wanted to support it. So sad.
