Good location- Uber latte tasted like steamed milk so would adjust my order next time. Plenty of other unique drink flavors

We got three drinks: dirty matcha, strawberry matcha, and ube cold brew. They were incredibly gross & the drink size was pretty small. My order, the strawberry matcha, had no milk at all and tasted like entirely strawberry. It was virtually juice. We also all feel sick now.

Nice comfortable cafe in downtown San Francisco

Changing to three stars now
This place went down hill real fast and it’s becoming inferior option in this area.
The drink is too sweet and the coffee in it is not tasty at all…
The staff is super indifferent and unable to fulfill customer needs. I asked them to add Ube sauce into hot latte and they just told me no … the way they speak with me is condescending.
Not planning to come back any time soon.

The new deserts are amazing! My personal favorite is the ube cupcake and the passion fruit mochi donut. Amazing!

Fantastic little innovative coffee shop that is very welcomed to the community - especially after nearby Starbucks shutdowns

Worst Americano I ever had. Drink was very weak and was luke warm. I won’t be coming back.

I'm sorry but the coffee wasn't good. I tried the donut coffee and it was just okay. No different than a mid-tier coffee with some vanilla syrup. The person making the coffee was nice, but the cafe had lots of flies; can easily cause suspicion of hygiene. If you're coming from Europe side, you can avoid this. Don't fall into FOMO. The posters and board is inviting but coffee isn't holding up to the standard unfortunately.

Espresso is bitter and sour without much other flavor. It also tastes slightly stale and burnt. The plant-based breakfast burritos are decent at least.

The donut coffee was bomb — sweet, delicious, and totally worth the visit for that alone. But I have to say, selling pizza toast at 2 PM was a miss. It was hard as a rock and completely inedible. Super disappointing. I’d go back for the coffee, but definitely skipping the food next time.

Probably found one of the best matcha drinks I’ve tried! The mango matcha was so good and they definitely do not skimp out on the Matcha. I’ve tried so many other Matcha places that barely put any Matcha in the drink or they overload it with milk. Their Korean bagel was also Delicious. You guys have to try it! I wish We had this coffee shop in Las Vegas! Will definitely be back when I visit San Francisco again.

The latte and drink selection is so delicious, not to mention all the mochi donut flavors, like passion fruit and ube! I’m in love with their jasmine latte. Super recommend to anyone in the area who is kind of tired of drinks being 90% coffee and 10% milk lol.

The banana latte & ube latte were incredible. The service was kind, welcoming, and efficient. We will be back!
