Hello. I'm here to add information about this location that they do not provide wifi nor outlets. It's closer to a casual eatery than a cafe you could hang out and work in. The tea and interior are nice though.

A quick summary of my thoughts is that the service and vibes are excellent, but the food is far too expensive for what you get. Drink are fine.
I tried the hojicha and matcha lattes and the tea itself was good, but there was far too much milk to the actually enjoy the tea flavor. It was more like steamed milk with some tea flavor, rather than a tea forward drink.
The pork sando was fine. The portion size was good but the breading was thin and not crispy at all. The pork was lacking in some flavor as well so while it felt like a whole lot of pork sando in my mouth when I take a bite, the amount of flavor and texture I was getting didn't quite match the void left in my wallet for this $19 dish.
We also got the matchazuke, which, in a vacuum is good. There was matcha mixed into the broth according to the description, and it looked that way too since it was green, but taste wise, it was barely perceptible. The salmon was good quality and cooked well. The toasted rice was a nice touch, although once soaked in the broth, got pretty tough to eat. At $18 it's acceptable.

I highly enjoyed my iced matcha tea! Very balanced early flavors. The cafe environment was very calming and relaxing. I had a lovely morning just sipping on my drink and people watching. There’s plenty of seating and I could see this as a productive place to get work done or meet up with friends. Agreed with some other reviews that service could be better.. I JUST walked in and one of the male servers said “do you know what you want?” Like no? I just walked in! Will still be back next time to try the matcha latte and matcha pastries.

I was so sad when Stonemill Matcha shut down during COVID, so it was such a great surprise to see it reopened now that I’m back in the Bay Area!
It’s fall season, which means pumpkin spice everything 🎃 We ordered the seasonal Pumpkin Spice Hojicha Latte, the Halloween special Hojicha Pumpkin Pie, Matchazuke, Tamago Sando, and a classic Matcha Latte.
Everything was really satisfying. The Tamago Sando tastes about as close to a Japanese konbini sandwich as you can get in the States (minus the price point). The matcha was just as good as I remembered.
It does get pretty busy around noon, so it’s best to arrive a little earlier to beat the lunch rush. So happy Stonemill is back!

This was a favourite space of mine in San Francisco and this is first time visiting this place after their pivot to make it more of a dine-in destination. Food and drinks were impeccable, with some items like the Chicken Okayu and Japanese Curry hitting the spot. I had a delicious pumpkin spice hojicha which is an autumn special. Special vibes which is a mix of calm and liveliness. Gochisosama!

The food was definitely the highlight. The matcha cream pie is an absolute must-try!
We also had the pork katsu sando, and the mustard sauce had a nice kick to it, almost like wasabi.
For drinks, we got the strawberry matcha iced latte and the rose matcha latte. They were okay, a bit too milky and watered down for my taste.

Matcha isn't even mid. It's such low quality matcha. I don't get how this place become such a hype? Katsu sando was decent but pretty hefty price, almost $20.
We had hot matcha latte and matcha rose late, egg sandwich and matcha cream pie. Everything was delicious. Loved the egg sandwich served in a box. The matcha cream pie is worth going back for. We’ll go back to try some other dishes.
