I'm here 3-4 times a week on my way to work, and it never disappoints. The space has a great vibe, but what really keeps me coming back is the team. The baristas are genuinely kind and welcoming--shoutout to Julia, Amy, Issa, and Caitlyn for always making my mornings better. If you're nearby, definitely stop in and try the Raw Honey Latte--it's perfectly balanced and not overly sweet.

Order a latte ($5.75) which contained pretty good coffee beans, some cherry and chocolate notes. The barista was quick at making the drinks. The matcha is hand whisk here as well which is awesome to see. In addition, the baked goods are from local bakery in Noe Valley and there's also warm food. I'll come to try the food next. Overall, a wonderful coffee place to work and hangout.

If it's a nice day then there's also some tables and a bench outside as well, which is perfect for people watching or just enjoying some sunshine. I stopped in to surprise the wifey with some pre-Valentine's day coffee. I ordered a blueberry latte with almond milk for her and a cold brew for myself. The blueberry latte is made with homemade syrup which gave it a nice touch. The cold brew was silky smooth but packed enough energy to help jumpstart my day! Overall fantastic experience, and of course Yummy Certified!

They have a range of milk teas for $10 and popular ones include the turon milk tea (which truly does taste like it!) and mango float. They are sweet but delightful to sip while you chill at the cafe whether you have work to do or want to indulge in a creative project. The cost of the boba goes toward fundraising for youth initiatives and other community needs! The times i have visited they've hosted free pop ups and events like a clothing swap and dessert tasting. Wifi also worked great! They are lovely advocates for community and also recently just started a community pantry. Check them out or follow them on socials for events!!

This cafe is really nice, with a beautiful faux tree in the center of the room and comfy chairs all around for you to chill or study. Most people that come in are either WFH or just enjoying their food / drinks quietly, although there is music that is playing from the speakers. I was on a WFH meeting and actually found that no one else could hear the music on the other side, which was great! Keep in mind that it's best if you have your own hot spot if you are WFH. The bathroom was also a single stall, very clean and nice, and they also had sanitary items for $0.25 from a vending machine inside the bathroom. In terms of drinks, I love a chai latte and this place exceeded my expectations! This will have to be my new favorite spot to get chai, where they had a perfect balance between the milk ratio as well as the chai, not being too spiced, but just a perfect amount. I did notice that if you pay cash it was slightly cheaper, so keep that in mind when you do come here! I also got a beef empanada and it was delicious. They warmed it up perfectly for me and brought it over to my table where I was working from and for my first time here, I would say I had an awesome experience! Would definitely come back again :)

The interior had cool green tiling on the counter, hanging plants, and a little stand with fresh flowers for sale. Ordering was convenient on the electronic kiosk. For drinks, I ordered the Mint Lemonade (so tasty and refreshing), but the caffeinated beverages looked awesome, as well. For food, the 3 of us ordered the Pistachio Berry Twice Bake Croissant, Smoked Salmon & Labneh Bagel, Cream Cheese & Heirloom Tomato Bagel, and Armenian Sujuk to share. The Pistachio Berry Croissant was unreal! The outside was perfectly flakey and the inside was so gooey and delicious. The bagels themselves were mediocre (I always have low expectations for California bagels), but the filling was great, especially the smoked salmon and labneh. The Armenian Sujuk (pizza) as very tasty, and was also great leftover the next day. Service was quick and friendly. Would happily return for more!

I like how many options there are ranging from breakfast to lunch items that are well balanced. Order and pay at the counter by the entrance and they'll give you a table # and assign you a table.

The sides are fries (can upgrade to sweet potatoes fries etc for $) and comes with a house salad. A place I'd definitely come back to.

So, for…read morethose of you who didn't know what a pupusa is, it is kind of like a deep fried quesadilla pancake that has beans, cheese and whatever choice of meat you would like. I usually get 2 plain beans and cheese, small but very fierce filling pupusas. They are also inexpensive too. My daughter loves the chicken tenders and French fries which is her favorite type of food. Service 5/5 - The waiter is very polite and makes sure your needs are met. My food came out very fast. Place is very clean and 1980s Back to the Future nostalgia--vibe in here. Ambiance 5/5 - Perfect date movie night since it's located right by the movie theatre right off Junipero Serra Blvd. I love how it's been 20 years ago when I went to the movie theatre and this place is still here.

Cons: there's only one restroom. The juices especially the passion fruit juice was way too sweet for my liking. staff are limited in the English language. This is the Mission District you can't expect fine dining, just point to what you wanna order if you don't speak Spanish. I highly recommend that restaurant.
