    Avocado toast
    Lauren C.

    Avocado toast is excellent, so fresh and delicious. Lots of good pastries. Slow service, but really nice spot overall.

    Mocha
    Evelynne L.

    This is such a cute little coffee spot! The interior is such a vibe, I saw lots of locals come in the whole time I was there. There is not much seating so expect to take your coffee to go. I got the mocha with oat milk and it was crafted nicely but I felt like there wasn't that much coffee taste - the oat milk overpowered the espresso a little too much, I will try it with whole milk the next time.

    My drip coffee and butter croissant

    I definitely felt seen here! Sweet baristas that know their craft, welcoming and friendly staff that look out for their customers wellbeing and safety! Such an adorable little coffee shop with two window seats available on both sides of entrance. They have mild blends of Latin American coffees, which my sensitive stomach can handle and on top of that- THEY'RE ORGANIC!!! I got a regular coffee, which had a beautiful light, fruity acidic smell with a semi creamy or nutty aftertaste. It paired wonderfully with my butter croissant! My friend enjoyed his matcha latte and a morning bun! I loved their honey inside sitting area, but since we just came from yoga, we wanted to sit outside in the fresh air. I will definitely come back here again, especially since I found out they also have hojicha! I love that rich flavor and the fact it's not too sweet or harsh on my sensitive stomach. Hee

    Okay I have to say it - this place is so CHARMing! It's a tiny spot on Ocean Ave, but the logo makes it stand out. The interior is red and white and quirky, and the staff are sweet and patient. We loved the chai and matcha lattes that they blended. They took their time making our drinks, and we appreciated the attention to detail. They were delicious, and we love having them on Ocean Ave!

    Such a cute new neighborhood coffee shop on Ocean Ave, right across the street from 24 Hour Fitness. I've been complaining for years that Ingleside needs more coffee shops, and this is the perfect little addition! I ordered the holiday drink, a cranberry espresso tonic, and my fiancé ordered the regular espresso tonic. Both were delicious and super refreshing. There's limited space inside, so it's not the most ideal spot for working, but it is a wonderful place to sit, relax, and enjoy a great cup of coffee with a pastry on a Sunday morning. There's also plenty of residential parking nearby, which is always a plus! Will definitely be back!

    Peppermint mocha
    Janessa M.

    Stopped by here for some lattes and ordered their holiday specials. We got their gingerbread latte and peppermint mocha and both were equally good. Both drinks weren't too sweet, which I loved! I'd definitely would love to try their other drinks/food when I come back. I'd recommend trying this spot out!

    hojicha latte (hot) - $6
    Tiffany T.

    Hojicha latte ($6): 3/5. It was very earthy and completely unsweetened which isn't really my cup of tea. It lacked the sweet undertones of good hojicha so I'd probably try something else next time. Breakfast burrito ($11): 5/5. I got this with soyrizo and it was chef's kiss. Came with a side of fresh pico de gallo and a packet of tapatío for some more flavor but honestly no extra seasoning was needed. Service: Pretty fast. Came here on a sunday around 11am and it wasn't super busy.

    Food: 4/5 Servive: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 A cozy cute neighborhood coffee shop tuck in ocean ave. Came here on a Saturday morning, it was honestly quite busy. It seemed like a group of run club people stopped by here to grab coffee. Matcha Latte with Earl Grey: 4.5/5 I would say the Earl Grey matcha was pretty good. I like how it gave a little kick to the matcha. Matcha Latte with Lavendar: 4/5 The matcha at charm is good, lavendar added a bit of floral taste to the drink. It was good. Tuna Melt: 3/5 It was alright. Breakfast Sandwich: 3/5 EHHH idk if i loved this.

    Coffee Heaven! Lavender latte and the amazing burrito with the to die for salsa! I'm definitely coming back  visiting this little Gem!

    Amazing little gem in SF, delicious Burrito and lavender latte. We stay close and we have breakfast every day!

    Iced matcha latte with oat milk
    Ellyzha A.

    Absolutely loved this charming place. My boyfriend and I dropped by at around 10am for a nice morning pick-me-up. Be prepared to wait as there's only 1-2 people making the drinks + some staff in the back making the food. It's a fairly small coffee shop. We both didn't mind the wait! The line really picked up after we got to queue. I ordered an iced matcha latte with oat milk + extra matcha powder. I also purchased a matcha tin they were selling. It was mixed with a chasen & chawan which I was happy to see. Overall - worth the wait. The color of the matcha was beautiful and exactly what I look for. Strong in matcha flavor + they use my favorite oat milk brand. 10/10. I am typically very picky about my matchas but this one was really great. Can't wait to come back!

    Super cute coffee shop on Ocean Ave! Aptly named, this place is very charming! Charm is currently decked out in a mix of Lunar New Year and Valentines Day decor, including cute floral arrangements on tables. Came in on a Friday around 9am. It's a cozy spot with a small amount of table and counter seating that seems to attract a lot of locals (quite a few came in and out during my visit). I can't resist a seasonal special, so ordered one of the Valentine drinks, the BerryChoco--Licious Latte, and it was yummy! Not overwhelming sweet, made with their homemade strawberry and chocolate syrup. Really enjoyed it and was tempted to get their matcha special before heading out... Edit: I got it and it was yummy! Classics played on the radio and yummy pastries from Black Jet Baking were available. Was pleasantly surprised by this local spot but highly recommend!

    Cool bathroom tho
    L C.

    Bleh. When I walked in, the barista (and I think owner) was happily chatting up a group who already had their drinks. If it was just for a minute, that'd be one thing, but I stood there for a good 4-5 minutes, completely ignored and feeling so awkward and like I had intruded. Not a "I'll be right with you" or anything to that effect. When she finally got to me, the energy and cheer just fled her body. It was just jarring to experience such a contrast in service. I'm not sure why I received different treatment. Maybe I'm too old for a super duper Gen Z cafe. The almond matcha latte was okay. Like other reviews noted, it was too milky. My hunch is that this place is best for syrupy fun flavors.

    Cute little spot close to City College, SF. They offer out of the box flavors like black sesame coffee. I was not sure what to get and the service person helped me choose. She is friendly enough and really gave me some insights on what the flavors are, she was patient and honest about the taste of what they offer. Although I am not into these flavors, it is worth the shot to try different kinds of coffee mixes.

    Solid breakfast burrito and cappuccino. A little heavy on the cheese for me but most people like cheese so maybe it's like 15% quesadilla.

Ballast…read moreCoffee was the perfect place to go to because it is less than 10 minutes away and has a lot of street parking available (which is rare in SF lol). Like everywhere else in SF, you have to pay for street parking but it's free after 6pm! The vibes inside are of a typical coffee shop and there is a good amount of tables and seats! The barista makes each drink one at a time, so it could take a while to order and get your drinks, but it just shows that they are very intentional with their drinks! I was super excited to find out that Ballast Coffee is actually a Filipino coffee shop that serves Barako Coffee, which I believe they source from the Philippines. They also sell barako bean roast blends for $20 in case you wanted to make it at home! Since they use Filipino barako beans, I had to order their Ube iced latte and Ube hot chocolate! The coffee had a slightly fruity yet chocolatey undertone that made it really delicious with the Ube! I do think that the coffee had a lighter taste to it, so it let the ube taste stand out more. My favorite was the Ube hot chocolate because it was super decadent and warming! I'll definitely be back at Ballast Coffee to study more and to also try their Ube Mocha as well as other drinks!

I ordered uber latte. I must admit I'm not a latte drinker but when I tried their latte it was surprisingly delicious. I would order it again when I come back. As for the donuts, it's pricey ($5 each) but it was delicious and it was a dense donut. Went well with the latte and it actually satisfied my hunger for sweets. So if you're here in the neighborhood, give this place a try. I'm pretty sure you'll like it. Give it a shot :)

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 :)

Sadly, I wasn't impressed -- the shell tasted like store bought frozen phyllo dough and the filling was lacking. The sandwiches were also disappointing -- especially the meatball, which was mostly carrot filled and only contained 3 sad meatballs. The combo is how I measure every Vietnamese sandwich shop and this one lacked pate and flavor profile just failed for me. Service was kind though. Seems to be a family run business and surprising number of neighbors come by to pick up an item or two. Unfortunately, this isn't the hidden gem I expected
