Cute little spot, quiet and not many people. It took over 30 mins for our breakfast sandwiches to be ready which was surprising given the number of people. Friendly staff and tasty latte.

A Polk St gem. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Great coffee and tea selections, and it seems they are adding more food options lately, which have all been good in my experience. I take my dog occasionally. Wifi is plenty fast enough to work on, which I'm usually doing here, too. A lot more personality here than in the other coffee shops on Polk. I'd recommend trying to score one of the window spots for good 180 people watching/light.

Racist attitude. The lady looked at us with racist glances and took our orders as if we were fools. Very poor service to Latinos. I'll never come back here again.

If you’re looking for a quiet, mostly empty place to work/study, this place ~3-6pm is it. Not many people at all and wifi. However, the food options were not that good in my opinion. I wanted to get food but when I came ~3pm there was hardly anything left so I ended up getting a smoothie. The mango smoothie was pretty sugary and not that good (I think there was too much juice for my taste maybe). Staff member there was friendly and accommodating.

They have solid pastries and quick bites. I got the croissant with mozzarella cheese and arugula. It was amazing.

The coffee is not good at all, I asked for a mocha and 1st: the milk instead of having a nice smooth texture is just pressurized with hot bubbles and that’s it. 2nd: coffee is really blend. 3rd: their chocolate is the most basic one and does not have a chocolate flavor instead it tastes like sugar.
Expect your coffee to be ready in 20 mins or so.
For an almost 7 dollar coffee, I expected more.

Love the cafe always chill and nice people
The tahini latte is not to sweet and perfect treat. Also the music here is always good vibes and a good book reading/ studying atmosphere

Their flat white and caramel cheesecake are to die for. Really enjoyed the background music and interior as well.

This cozy little coffee shop on Polk Street is an absolute hidden gem! The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm, friendly smiles from the owners, who truly make you feel at home. The music and ambiance create the perfect vibe for relaxing or catching up with friends.

I had the best matcha latte here—smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. The quality is top-notch! And don’t leave without trying their apple crumble cheesecake—it’s a slice of heaven you won’t regret.

If you’re in the area, make sure to stop by. This place is everything you’d want in a neighborhood coffee shop and more!

We stopped by to have coffee, one person helping all !! People who ordered breakfast get their coffee first. Took along time for our old style foamy cappuccino .

The vibe is nice but a 35% suggested tip on the pay terminal is absolutely unacceptable. Tips are supposed to supplement workers, so if you’re suggesting tips that high, you need to pay your workers more. Service was also just okay and the bathroom has no lock.
