Coffee was great and the shirts the staff wear make them easy to spot. Simple but classy design, fits the café theme perfectly.

Saddest strawberry matcha of my life. Soo sad. Where is the matcha? I feel like I was robbed of $8.50. I wanted the matcha I saw in the reviews, not a cup of strawberry milk. 2 stars because the barista was nice.

This is a fantastic cafe so close to City Hall! I will be coming here every time I'm in the area. The specialty lattes like strawberry matcha, espresso tonic, and lavender latte are well-prepared and delicious. I also tried the Everything Bagel Sandwich that was so filling.

The owner is really dedicated to his craft and grew up in the City. I can't wait to see what other seasonal drinks he will come up with. Definitely worth the visit!

Hole in the wall coffee shop with smoothies and hot drinks. Stopped by for a quick caffeine break on our way to the Golden Gate Bridge and ordered a latte and a blueberry loaf. There’s a couple of counter seats but it’s a small place so most people who came opted for takeout. The employee helping us was very nice and helpful. The vibes were chill and it was a good spot for a lazy Sunday morning. Credit cards accepted.

Absolutely fabulous hidden “unexpected“ café. The owner, who was also working was great. He was super friendly, even remembered our order after one visit! The smoothies are great! The coffee was top-of-the-line! The specialty drink was the bomb! The food was fresh and yummy. We will always come back when we visit!

I am very happy to have discovered this coffee shop, which is conveniently located a few blocks from City Hall. The prices are reasonable, coffee is great, and the service was friendly. I got the Rose Iced Latte, hich had a perfect blend of coffee and sweetness (not to sweet). I also got the bacon, egg, cheese and avocado sandwich on an Asiago bagel, which was perfect. The owners of this place clearly know how to balance simplicity, quality and affordability. The barista was also super friendly, and though the space is small, there were seats available during the noon hour -- and I loved the music! If I could give 6 stars, I would!! Please come here

Delicious flat white (from an Aussie). Double shots are the norm

The coffee is amazing, the pastries are delicious, and the barista is great, but unfortunately, I have to say that if you’re planning to work here, don’t. The music is way too loud, and it’s impossible to focus. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to leave quickly. I would understand if the place had been packed, but it was just the two of us there. I ended up going to the nearest Peet’s to get some work done, and I actually ran into the other guy there—he must have had the same experience as me.
