loved their matcha! probably one of the best in the city. the thick an creamy texture makes you want to come back. the food are okay. i tried the katsu curry and my friend tried their chicken porridge - they taste decent but came in great portion. my favorite is their regular iced matcha and strawberry matcha latte 🍵

Impressed by the matcha drinks! So rich and flavorful even though I ordered non-sweetened. Not so much by the food. The desserts are too heavy for me.

The place closes at 4pm. They had stopped allowing dine-in when we arrived at 3:30. There are a couple of tables outside for take-outs, but they collect them at 4.

Stonemill Matcha is a gem of a lunch place in the Mission, with delicate Japanese entrees, often matcha themed. Their matchzuke with rice, steamed salmon and a match broth deserves a Michelin star! Their sparkling matcha with yuzu is also excellent as are the pastries. They are also very quick in their service.

The cream pie cake is to die for it was so good that I came back the next day and got another one…. The citrus is not super citrusy at all I think this is genuinely top 10 desserts I’ve had in my life!

Service Needs Improvement
When our food arrived, we noticed the bowl was broken and part of it was missing. We called over the staff, but they didn’t address it, didn’t replace the bowl, and still served it to us. This felt very unprofessional.

I told the staff my friend would arrive in 10 minutes, but they refused to give me a table until my friend got there. There was no waitlist, no other customers waiting, and over half the tables were empty. I had to stand at the front door, what’s the point? This policy makes no sense.

Not worth it in my opinion.

My friend and I went in about 30 minutes before closing, and even though they had tables available, they told us we would be limited to take-out only. That sucked because it was pouring outside, but we decided to order anyways.

She got a cold matcha latte, and I got one hot, and two things stuck out to us about the matcha:
- it was bitter, in an unpleasant way
- it was gritty and almost vaguely chalky

I also ordered a cake roll, which was disappointingly small, a tad dry, and lacking in flavor.

Anyone could easily make better stuff at home. So I will probably not be coming back.

When we got there in the morning on a weekday around 10am it wasnt to crowded but quickly filled up. The sando was a favorite, juicy and crisp. Their ginger matcha latte was my favorite drink item. Also got a regular matcha latte but probably wouldn’t order again.

Hot matcha latte was good and not too sweet with regular milk and sweetness level. The cold strawberry yuzu-ade was really refreshing.

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.
