PSL was sad- not foamy at all. Club sandwich was pretty good though, would get again

A cappuccino is not a latte. They don't know the difference. Need I say more? $5 too.

This place is the perfect little shop. The food is good, they have a pretty big selection of food and drink for a little shop. The two woman where working were very sweet, kind and accommodating. Just an over all great experience.

Cash or Venmo only, there's a slapping matcha latte for later in the day. Pre sweetened but only the slightest and still bitter ya!

Best egg, mushroom and spinach wrap, and the avocado and spinach smoothie is out of this world.

Don’t waste your time. (This is not about the barista, they were fine. This is about the owner) * They don’t accept credit or debit cards here and expect you to Venmo or Zelle them the money. I came in around 4:30 to get a quick chia tea and I asked if I could sit inside while I waited for my friend, the owner snaps at me “15 minutes and we close” when it says they close at 5 like- I just took the time to Zelle you for over priced coffee and a 30% tip for the barista and you’re gonna be rude to me. I’m planning on disputing the charge with my bank. Honestly don’t come here.

Very small mom and pop shop. I just got an iced soy latte. The latte is just okay it's not phenomenal, yet it's still $7.27, there wasn't any flavoring or syrup either so for a basic soy latte I don't think it was quite worth it.

Favorite place for my daughter and I to swing by every time we take a mini vacation at our family's home in Cole Valley. Can't wait to have their jalapeño cream cheese on an everything bagel.

Ordered a cappuccino, half the cup was foam.Went back and stated that it should only be 2cm foam. Barista remade and then the woman behind the front counter rudely said that next time I need to ask for not much foam.Don’t blame the consumer when you guys are the ones incorrectly making coffees.

Did not like my latte that much. But the good part was that you can pay with Zelle. The pastries looked good too.

Beautiful establishment mixed with outstanding management I will always pay them a visit when I'm in the area! I made the mistake of sending them a substantial (to me anyway) amount of money by accident and the owner so so helpful and understanding and promptly returned my money without making me feel like I'm some criminal out to get her you are greatly appreciated

They brew flavored coffee with their carafes so when you try to get a regular non flavored coffee it tastes like that gross artificial Kona or hazelnut stuff.They need to designate specific carafes for flavored coffee as the flavor persists for some time.They also just microwave their bagels lol
