Came here for the Neko Oji-san collaboration, as that's how I learned about the cafe (I love the…read morecomedy short form manga online, check it out!). Parking nearby is horrendous, super busy even on the weekdays before the rush hour so I can't imagine weekends when people are out or other high traffic times. Get ready to make some rounds and pay for parking and be careful since there's very specific signage and times. The cafe itself is cute and cozy. Front area is a gift shop with lots of cat themed gifts and goodies like keychains, stickers, and such, and also some items from local and small artists too, which is neat. The cafe also has community events like movie showings ("The Cat Returns" was one of them which is a great choice) and cat yoga. If you're local, you can also get a time stamp if you are a frequent visitor. Definitely follow their socials for more information. There's reservations online and you can also do walk ins if it's not super busy. You can book for a 55 minute visit or a 30 minute visit. PRO-TIP: There's a discount for students, so if you want to be surrounded by some feline friends while you study or relax, great place to do so. You can hang your coat on the rack and there's a mini shelf area for your shoes. So you gotta walk in with socks! With each visit you can either get a hot cup of tea or a cold can or box drink from their fridge (sparking water, juices, etc.). Very refreshing and you can enjoy it in the cat area too. Sanitize your hands before and after visiting. There's lots of cats hiding around, sleeping, walking around, and some are super friendly and will go into your lap. There's toys you can play with the cats with and there's a wall of adoptable cats. Lots of seats or you can opt to sit on the floor with the cats too. There's relaxing lo-fi music throughout too. Pretty cool that they rescued 2 cats from Qatar and neat that we got to see them. As with all cats, some can be a bit spicy but it's usually just a warning teeth rub. I own cats so there's nothing new. I'm horribly allergic to the cat that specifically lives in my house, but I didn't get an allergy here, meaning that the cats are clean and well taken for. My favorite was a large sleepy orange boy, Ron (permanent non-adoptable resident) that was hanging out next to me the entire time.

We didn't have any trouble walking in though and we were the only ones inside for most of the time. You get to choose a beverage of your choice from the fridge. They're mostly sparkling waters. We took off our socks and found a table to sit at. Some of the cats came up to greet us when we were sitting. There are also toys available for you to use to play with them. Many of the cats were napping or lounging around but don't mind if you come up to sit next to them and give them pets. There were all types of cats and some of them are actually available for adoption if you happen to fall in love with one!

We made a reservation for a party of two on a Sunday at 3:15pm to celebrate my birthday! It's $70 per person and we paid a deposit when booking. There is a pre-set tea menu with savory and sweet snacks and your selection of one beverage; tea, lemonade, iced tea. Mimosa and champagne is also available for an extra charge. They do ask if you have any food allergies or restrictions. Ugh, everything was soooo cute!!! The servers were also very sweet and friendly. The beverage selection was a bit overwhelming for me and I didn't know what to choose! One of the servers recommended us the mango iced tea, which was actually really good! However, I wish I would've gotten a hot tea, so I could use the cute tea pot, cups, and the hello kitty shaped sugar cube lol. I didn't think the snacks would be enough to fill us up, but we ended up having to pack leftovers! We really enjoyed the savory items; my favorite was the cucumber sandwiches and the egg salad cone! Out of the sweet items, I enjoyed the strawberry tart and strawberries and chocolate whipped cream parfait; which weren't so sweet! I'd definitely like to come back and order a hot tea next time so I could use the tea set hehe. This really fulfilled my inner child!

Whenever the Hello Kitty trucks come to a more local area, I have been unable to go. I love all of the decoration that is everywhere in the cafe. I also enjoyed that they offered many different treats and drink options. It was really hard for me not to buy everything! This is also located inside of the mall, so it is nice to be able to walk around. This is slightly far away from where I reside but I would love to come back and see what new and different treats they have to offer! I would also love to visit the Bow Room!

Our home is being fumigated so we came up to a friend's apartment for the weekend in San Francisco…read more This place was in walking distance so despite the bicycle theme, we walked over. Glad we did it. It's a good place for a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast, and potatoes and good espresso drinks. Although we did not try it, I am sure their bacon is probably pretty good as well. The eggs came nice and fluffy, the toast is a relatively thick-sliced sourdough, and already buttered, and the potatoes were cooked to the point where they are soft inside and firm outside and nicely salted (prepped elsewhere?). They have a few outside tables, but I wanted to sit inside so we did. You walk up to the counter and place your order and pay and they give you a little number to put on your table. The food is brought to you at the table and when you have finished, you bus your table. This got me thinking about tipping. In this context 15% or 20% is probably inappropriate. First, they don't show you an itemized bill so you can't even see whether you're being asked to tip on the tax (which tip on tax, do you tip the IRS?). Then, since what service you receive is obviously less than what you receive at a full service restaurant with similar prices that's another point. Finally, we now have Living wage laws that apply to restaurant workers and the point of tipping was because in the old days serving people were not even paid a wage, and then their minimum wage was something like only 20% of the actual minimum wage. You'll have to make your own decision, but I'm going to start thinking about this a little hard harder and be more discerning. In addition to our eggs and cappuccino and Cortado (a great Cortado I might add) we got one of the cinnamon raisin pecan rolls to go. I look forward to coming back with our friends who live nearby. Also, there is a neighborhood grocery store with a nice selection next door so you can pick something up for a picnic in the park if you want.

I got the strawberry matcha and the seasonal lavender matcha. Both drinks were bitter and tasted watered down. Default sweetness was not too sweet but the matcha didn't have the creaminess even with regular milk. Strawberry puree was good but not enough to carry the diluted matcha. The matcha cream pie was solid. Soft matcha filling with very crispy edge. Whipped cream on top was also tasty. Would not come back here for the matcha. Maybe their food is better. With matcha coming out that quick feels like it wasn't prepared well and lost its quality. Street parking here or parking garage next street over.

The cost of entry to the actual cat cafe includes a drink of your choice, but you don't need to have a time slot to enjoy their menu.

There was some issues with our reservation but the lady who helped us was super nice and was able to resolve the issue. The cat lounge pass comes with a complimentary drink! We got checked in and ordered our drinks before heading to the back where the cats were. We were given shoe covers and an overview of what to expect and what to do/don't with the cats. And before we go in, hand sanitize! I love how the group is limited so it isn't too crowded and the cats do not get overwhelmed. You get a good amount of time with all the cats. All the cats were very friendly and super cute! I had a great time! Drinks: - yakgwa einspanner: the korean cookie cream top was not too sweet and perfect combo with the cold brew. It came with a small yakgwa (korean honey cookie and it was yummy) 8/10 - green grape ade: a little sweet for me, tasted a bit artificial but it is as expected from a sparkling grape soda 6/10 Overall, had a great experience! If you love cats and Korean cafe drinks, this is the spot for you! Would definitely come back! Staff were friendly especially the lady who helped us out!

*Dusting off the cobwebs*…read more Not down there but my bookmarks. A savory cafe spin off of THE b. patisserie, B on the Go has been on my list to try since they opened in 2015. I was finally able to visit when I had an appointment around the corner. For those who may not know, b. patisserie is one of the best bakeries in the city from James Beard Award Winning Belinda Leong. She's an alum of Gary Danko and the defunct Manresa. She also owns Routier, a French bistro across the street. M E N U Array of breakfast and lunch sandwiches, everything is house-made (rotisserie meats) including their bread. SF affordable, nothing over $14. Breakfast sandwiches available until 2 pm. They have a limited selection of b. patisserie's bakery items: croissant, scones, and cookies (get their chocolate chip!). Kouign amann is not sold here. Coffee and bottled drinks available. F O O D * Porchetta Sandwich w/ chicharrones, arugula, chimichurri, house-baked ciabatta ($13.75 + $2 double protein): https://tinyurl.com/5u3ybmjv Thin, juicy slices of flavorful porchetta with crackly [chopped] chicharrones cradled by the fresh, crusty soft ciabatta. The bold garlicky, herbaceous chimichurri and peppery arugula cuts through the savory, meaty richness. BOMB. * Braised Pork Belly Breakfast Sandwich: Braised Five-Spice Pork Belly w/ egg, fontina cheese, spicy aioli, potato bun ($12.25) Sorry, no pic as I bought this for a friend. I watched the staff make it and was salivating. Generously thick slice of pork belly crowned with soft, custardy scrambled eggs. S E R V I C E Friendly and prompt. A M B I A N C E Cozy interior with eight tables and chef counter seating (open kitchen). P A R K I N G Very rough street parking. Overall, if you can't get to the Ferry Building for Roli Roti, I think B on the Go's porchetta sandwich is a great alternative and several dollars cheaper too!

2.5 Yelp Stars****…read more I love B patisserie and go there almost every week to get the fancier for my kids and a chocolate chip cookie for my husband. My husband heard the lunches were good at B so I thought it was the lunch menu at the bakery. Turns out there was a B on the Go savory lunch cafe across the street at the corner from B patisserie. Finally decided to try a lunch from here but nothing stood out to me like the one from the B patisserie lunch menu. I ordered the pork belly banh mi. It was the fastest banh mi I ever received, quicker than Vietnamese places. Right then, I already knew not to have my hopes up for a delicious Vietnamese sandwich. As expected, my banh mi was tiny and the bread was not toasted. The guy literally just stuffed the bread and gave me the banh mi. It was missing the pate (legit Vietnamese style banh mi) and slapped on with what tasted like sweet mayo. The carrots were drowned in vinegar so I could taste the acidic component to it. There were only a few pieces of pork belly like a beginner making the Chinese bbq pork aka cha siu. For almost $14 (double the price of most regular Vietnamese banh mi in the city), this was a great disappointment! Definitely would not recommend the banh mi here! However, I would recommend the mushroom cheese panini at B patisserie. I paid $14 a few times for that one because it was tasty. Service here was quick since there were barely any customers. The cafe was relevantly empty and quiet. Not my type of cafe. Most likely would not return.

If I wanted to spend a long time working there, I would probably prefer to get a pot, but I'm not sure why someone would spend a long time of this area unless they worked at an office here.

Popcorn chicken: it was alright the flavor wasn't memorable but the rice cakes it came with were an interesting addition.

Not too salty but personally I didn't think it was anything outrageous. sohn signature cream top: I think I enjoyed the drink the cream top was a good contrast to the rest of the drink. It was a good size and not too much ice. I would recommend to try it if you haven't. Or unsure of what to get for drinks. I think this is a place worth to give a try if you're looking for places to take pictures and try new drinks.
