The drinks and such are still solid. One of my go-tos in this area of Soma. A good place to meet up for coffee or to have a destination to walk to during a one on one. I usually get the adeni chai and it usually comes scalding hot, so be careful. 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.

I got the banana matcha latte, which was made with real banana purée, so you get a little banana moment with each sip. It was creamy, lightly sweet, and such a fun twist on a matcha latte. Each drink was also decorated with a tiny dried flower, which is apparently all it takes to make my entire day. It was such a thoughtful little touch and made the whole drink feel extra special. Would definitely stop by again if I'm ever back in the area!

I tried the Thai Kaffe Latte and it was tasty! The drink was made quickly and to my liking, with oat milk and light ice.

Amazing date night spot and open surprisingly late. :) They have a wide array of wines, beers, and signature cocktails. I got their hot apple cider and it was good! It wasn't strong [:(] but it was definitely delicious [:3]. The chairs built into the wall were a little uncomfy but they looked so chic. The bar projected an anime on the wall on the night that we went and it made for a great vibe. Service was a little slow (it seemed like it was only one person servicing the whole place) but they were friendly and attentive! Would 100% recommend checking the Social Study out if you're in the area!

I really can't put into words what a vibe this place is. From the exposed brick walls to the reclaimed wood tables, floors etc. the whole place felt "lived in" and upbeat. The drinks and service were top tier, and the curated small bites menu of snacks were a perfect accompaniment to the evening. If you are in the area, or want to pregame before a night out in the Fillmore or Japantown, this is a good place to kick the night into gear.

It was a vibe. My energy was kept up with one of their delicious hot matcha cappuccinos! Now for the food...I ordered their regular breakfast sandwich, but there was nothing regular about it. I love that they used a pandesal (Filipino bread) for the sandwich bun! And the sauce!! The sauce gave it incredibly unique flavor that had me stuffing my face. I tried a bite of their sausage biscuit smash and was equally impressed! It was like a Sausage McMuffin, but 10x better. I would definitely come back and grab some of their sweet treats to go too! Also, would definitely recommend this spot to friends looking to grab some brunch.

Really delicious baked goods! My favorite is the kaya toast, which has super soft milk bread with a…read morecoconut pandan jam that is not overly sweet. It has the perfect balance of sweetness with just a hint of savory. The coconut flavor is subtle. The kaya bun had a similar coconut pandan filling and was also delicious, though I still preferred the kaya toast. We also tried the croissant and gyeranbbang, both of which were good. I have also had their Mt. Tam Basque cheesecake before, which is incredibly rich and decadent. It is perfect for enjoying a few bites at a time, though it is a bit too heavy for me to finish in one sitting. The yuzu americano drink was not my favorite pairing. It tasted carbonated and sour, which I guess true to the description, but it just was not for me! Friendly service! Convenient to place online orders through their website. Street parking only.

The place is called Stonemill Matcha so I should've got some matcha or latte, but I digress. I've…read moreheard this place has one of the best katsu sando around and as a lover of Katsu, I couldn't skip it. There's some good places in SF like Cafe Okawari. But Katsu is really becoming the new hype of the day for Japanese food, following the Sushi, Ramen, Japanese Curry, Katsu trend. So I came in with a critical view. I feel like Yoshoku in general may be next but I yet again digress. The box sandwich came in a cute little box. The inside was packed so I couldn't get a chance to fully appreciate the cafe, but the service was nice though the pay line may have moved slower than hoped. I'll say this. This is "the" best katsu sando in the bay. The katsu is crispy, but little on the softer side. But this hardness matches perfectly with the absolutely tender, soft, juicy pork wrapped inside. I'm looking at the menu again and it all makes sense. The pork has been in shio koji, making the meat ever so tender while adding the subtle but complicated marinated flavor. The cabbage is plenty, but not over packed to take away from the main Katsu flavor. What really perfects it for me, was not only the sweet and savory katsu sauce, but the mayo with dash of I think a karashi mustard. That slight tingle, the perfect kick gives a powerful awakening of flavor that really sets the it apart. This is art, an artisan. Culinary art is the refuge no raging rampant AI slop "art" can ever hope to touch. Until the day we get some cyborg implant to our brain into gustatory, olfactory functions. Even then, I don't think any tasteless tech bro are hopeless to create anything unique or beautiful.

The pork cutlet was perfectly crispy on the outside while staying juicy on the inside, and everything came together so well. For something sweet, the strawberry and cream milk bread sandwich was amazing too. It was light, fluffy, and not overly sweet, making it the perfect dessert after the savory. the hojicha cream latte was sooo good too! The hojicha flavor was rich and roasted, and the cream made it extra smooth without being too heavy. The service was friendly, and while the food took a little longer to come out, it was definitely worth the wait. Everything tasted freshly made, which I honestly prefer over getting food that's been sitting around. There is a little bit of seating inside, but since it's in San Francisco, parking was probably the hardest part. Overall, the food completely made up for the parking hassle. If you're in SF, Tadima is definitely worth checking out!

Sitting in their garden for brunch on a sunny-ish day (SF rarely gets hot-hot) is so good, & thankfully, so is the food. My $20 order of Chilaquiles is the most expensive item on the menu; proof that a moderately-priced, filling meal can still be found in this economy. Enjoyed my plate of two eggs, properly-crisp bacon, & small pile of sauced-up tortilla chips. I 86'ed refried beans, as I'm not a fan, but for those who partake, I imagine it bulks up the meal considerably. Food arriving to the table cold is my only complaint, but it wouldn't stop me from eating here again tomorrow.

I would love to come back for brunch!

Tartine absolutely lives up to its reputation.

The chocolate chip cookie had crisp edges, a soft center, and plenty of rich chocolate without being overly sweet with the salt touch. The turkey sandwich had soft bread, quality turkey, and the chicken skin is unique and provided a balance would love to try a panini next. The fruit tart was beautiful and incredibly fresh, with perfectly ripe fruit and a light, creamy filling that wasn't too sweet. The corn salad was a pleasant surprise too and maybe a favorite with bright herby bites that complemented the richer bakery items. Everything tasted fresh, and you can tell Tartine focuses on quality rather than overcomplicating dishes. Expect a line, especially during peak hours, but it's worth the wait. Whether you're stopping in for pastries or lunch, it's an iconic San Francisco bakery that's easy to recommend.
