It seems like there's also an upstairs but did not get the chance to check it out. I got an iced latte with their almond macadamia milk, and they're also so nice to do complimentary cold brew! So we got an extra drink for free. Trying the iced latte, it was pretty disappointing lol. I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.

The amazing food part is mostly because of places like Sōhn and Neighbor Bakehouse. First of all, Sōhn's space is very aesthetically pleasing with so much open space with strong industrial-minimalist elements. Food just made it better. I got their very popular Galbi patty melt and because it was so good, I got another one to go for my husband. And a cup of hot tea. Wow! The Galbi patty melt was so juicy and delicious. I definitely get why they are so popular. The service was friendly as well. When I came in, the staff was friendly and asked if I was eating in or take out and directed me inside. It was very busy with a lot of people, so i opted to sit downstairs in the bar area. Enjoyed my patty melt and people watching. Located on 3rd St and 22nd St.

It was perfect for the slow, introverted energy duo. We arrived later than estimated but that is alright for the weekend meetup, so we have noticed that most of the pastries or food that we saw on yelp photos were sold out. However, they still offered the sandwich on a crispy pastry. (I chose the meat patty). It was also very popular, so there was a 15 minute line from the door. When it was our turn, the staff asked if we prefer to sit on the lounge, and to be frank, that was the spot I wanted to sit. When I saw browsing through the photos and saw the lounge space, I thought, wow, I would like to be there, so in a way, my little dream came true. When we arrived in the lounge, there were three guests sitting but near finished. In a few moments they left, so this corner was --for a good long while -- a spot to ourselves. This area had 2 couches, one large table, a small one, and 2 more comfy single sofas. It was stationed in a corner, so there was a balcony view to peer down the first floor. There was a tiny standee with the QR code, so we ordered iced lattes (it was a hot day that day) and the two patties. We also ordered a large cookie. In the order of food arrival, the sandwiches arrived first and the cookie was next. It took a while for the coffee to arrive. I remember the patty was so juicy, I was being careful not to let it drip. It was a hearty good hamburger in a way. Generally, the lounge experience was exactly what we wanted, so it was the highlight of our meetup. I recall chatting about lots of things, catching up and sharing some metaphorical tea.

After I ordered, I took a seat in the waiting area by the Togo window to wait for my order. There was plenty of tables for dining in, but they were filled so I grabbed my order to eat outside. There was a little area in the front of the store for you to eat at. Stonemill matcha has been on my radar for a long time now and I'm happy to say I was not disappointed. I ordered the matchazuke 4.5/5 and the matcha latte 4/5 and they were both delicious. The matchazuke was perfectly savory, each bite packed full of umami. The piece of salmon was seasoned nicely, not too salty and paired perfectly with the matcha. The matcha broth was so comforting, you could taste the bonito dashi they used to make it. I was worried the portion would be too small but it was pretty filling! The matcha latte had a beautiful deep green color and was creamy and not too sweet. I did noticed that it was a little grainy, which was the only thing I didnt like about this experience. My partner ordered a hojicha latte and said it was a 5/5 and it's her new favorite place to get hojicha latte in SF. I would definitely come back and try more of their menu. I'm eyeing that matcha silk pie!

They offer free wifi. I tried the pandan matcha. If you like pandan, would recommend trying it. It's not too sweet, but the pandan flavor overpowers the taste of the matcha. Also tried the kopi ginger. The ginger adds a little kick to the coffee, but its not too bitter since there is palm sugar added to the coffee. I asked to reduce the sugar and they were able to do so. Staff is super friendly and willing to provide recommendations if you have a hard time deciding. Will be coming back to this place to try the other drinks and food options.

Located at Lombard near Van Ness, this particular spot has been around a few years and looked fully occupied by regulars with their laptops. I happened by on a weekday afternoon, and it was percolating. I was one of those lost-looking customers who entered the premises and had no idea what to order when he got to the register. The smiling server realized I was confused and pointed to the signature menu on the wall. I thought I should start basic and order the $7.25 Iced Kopi Pandan, a tantalizing mix of dark single-origin espresso, housemade pandan syrup, and almond milk over ice (Photo 8). It was delicious, maybe a tad too sweet for me as the pandan lent a pronounced vanilla-like flavor. The same flavor was more effectively applied to the $6 slice of Pandan Bread which I saw waiting for me to order on the counter (Photo 9). It was more a sponge cake and less a dense quick bread with coconut milk and egg whites keeping it fluffy. It was a tasty treat worth the indulgence.

The chocolate is rich, the pastry is soft yet flakey, and there's a perfect little pinch of salt that really brings the flavor together. I'd also really recommend going to their monthly Loquat at night events with their incredible Sabich sandwiches.

My first priority was to try Loquat's famous babka, but the petite pink mahlab cake was also calling my name. I selected the salted chocolate babka to enjoy at the cafe and took the mahlab cake home to enjoy later. My friend and I lucked out because a table for two opened up right as we ordered. My babka was plated on a dainty ceramic dish, which matched the old-school European cafe vibes. The babka was light and fluffy, yet the outside was crisp and buttery like a croissant. The salted chocolate layers folded into the pastry were the perfect balance of sweet and salty, and the chocolate tasted high-quality. One babka could have probably been split into two servings, especially if you want to try multiple items, but I didn't leave behind a single crumb. All around us, the other diners seemed to be enjoying a full-scale brunch with savory pastries and what appeared to be a Turkish breakfast platter. It all smelled wonderful, so I'll have to explore more of the menu on my next visit. I enjoyed the mahlab cake a day later and was amazed that it retained its delicate and light texture. The icing was lightly flavored with orange, cherry, and floral notes, and the presentation was so elegant. The cake was the perfect accompaniment to my afternoon cup of tea. While I'm on a mission to try as many of SF's bakeries as I can, I am looking forward to returning to Loquat.
