Chatz was right down from my hotel (the Clancy) and there are SO MANY coffee options in the city that I said screw it...I'm just gonna walk to this hole in the wall. Then again, who am I kidding...I love a good hole in the wall. This spot did not disappoint. The white mocha was yuuummmy and so were the sandwiches. We did return the next day as again it is super convenient and the guy working was so nice and sweet. I'm not gonna say it's the best I had but a solid B in customer service and food for sure.

This is THE best spot for coffee and breakfast in the morning. Quality: 5 Value: 5 Service: 5 Ambience: NA (takeaway only) This is the definition of a little "hole in the wall" cafe owned and operated by immigrant small business owners. This is 100% the place we should be spending our money. Not only is their banging coffee like half the price of Blue Bottle / Philz / other corporate options, but they also have absolutely top quality breakfast burritos AND bagels AND sweet baked goods. Chatz has literally anything you could want out of a morning coffee run, and it's inexpensive, and the owners are super nice.

Cute, tasty, hole in the wall, sandwiches, burritos, coffee, and nice hard-working people. I think they made my breakfast burrito fresh from scratch. I uploaded a couple photos for 2024.

Calling this a coffee shop is a stretch to say the least. It's merely a kiosk with severely limited hours of operation. That's probably why it's taken so long to give it a try even though I've been working in the general vicinity for years. I stopped by when I noticed quite a crowd of customers forming around 8:30AM (see photo). They looked like serious caffeine addicts (...you can just tell, y'know), so I thought I should give it a try with a medium cup of coffee which was pretty much at a Peet's price point. Smooth and not tongue-burning hot. It went especially well with the yogurt cup I bought with fresh berries and granola (see photo). There were baked goodies as well, but I just needed something to replace the usual cottage cheese with pineapple chunks I buy as part of my routine at Walgreens up the block. It was only later when I checked them out online that I found out they roast their own beans and sell quite a few varieties of coffee. It made me want to come back and try a latte at least when I can afford the calories. COFFEE - 4 stars...a smooth cup of joe (...and a nice yogurt cup to boot) AMBIANCE - 3 stars...gee, it's a stand SERVICE - 4 stars...quick and attentive TOTAL - 4 stars...stands out among the caffeine-fueled competition

The shards of metal at the bottom, notice also the extremely tiny shards.

I used to think this place was great, Its on my way to work and I go about 3 times a week or more. I usually get a simple bagel with egg, cheese and avocado, veggie burrito with a large strawberry protein shake. Today I went and bought all three of these item, for my breakfast and lunch. Was drinking the shake when my throat started to become itchy, did not think much of it and thought it was just one of my allergy symptoms. When almost at the end of the shake something got stuck at the end of the straw and I look and it was a 2 pieces of metal shards at the bottom. Not only that, there were tiny silver shards also. I took pictures and went back there at the end of work about 1:50 pm as I got off early and went to speak to them. Like usual it is the men and the woman at the coffee shop, I show them the shake bottle and explain that is was at the bottom of the shake, the men took it check it and threw it away without my permission. But I was not worry for I already taken pictures, he checked the blender to see if the blades where broken, it was not. Then he said it might be the ice for they bought ice from a vender since their ice machine was broken. He said it might be the ice or the ice machine that the shard could have come from. I communicated I am worry for if I potentially swallow some some shards and if I get sick from the shards damaging my stomach and throat. And for him to check the ice to make sure it is safe. He said he was sorry that happen and he will take full responsibility if i get sick or if something happen. I mostly love this place except of what happened today. I hope I will be fine and nothing happens to me because I would rather have my health than get sick and involve the law or messy procedures.

Coffee is average. The breakfast burritos need some help. Tortilla is often soggy and in poor condition.

There was a lot of natural light in the coffee shop, definitely a visually-appealing, 'aesthetic' place. I got an iced red tea and it was delicious. The tea was botanical, smooth and fragrant. Amazing experience! Excited to come back and try the coffee and pastries, which looked super fresh.

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.

Walked over early on a Sunday AM to do some lesson plans before the rush of the day and was surprised to see a no WiFi sign at the checkout.

I got a vanilla latte with oat milk and it was SO creamy and well balanced. The espresso tasted great, the vanilla wasn't overpowering, and everything worked really well together. I'm actually someone who rarely finishes an entire coffee, but I liked this one so much that I finished the whole thing! My one disappointment was that I specifically came here hoping to get some work done and found out they don't have WiFi. It's a little surprising considering how many tables they have, and the space otherwise seems like it would be great for working. Definitely something to keep in mind if you're bringing your laptop. But purely based on the coffee, I had a great experience and would absolutely get that latte again!

I can't believe it's taken me this long to finally try Stonemill Matcha, but I can now agree with…read moreeveryone else that it is definitely worth the visit if you love matcha. Since Stonemill opens at 10 AM, I arrived around 9:40 AM. Shortly afterwards, a long line started to form behind me. Once inside, my friend and I placed our matcha orders and were seated in a cozy nook by the window. Despite the steady flow of customers throughout the morning, our drinks were brought out in about ten minutes. My matcha latte with oat milk was served in a large ceramic mug, and it was certainly one of the smoothest matcha lattes I've had in SF (where there is no shortage of contenders!). The matcha itself was slightly earthy, and the latte had a hint of sweetness to balance the flavor. I did not order food this time, but I saw several people around us order the Japanese breakfast set and matcha cream pie, which I will have to try on my next visit. Despite the constant line to enter the cafe, the ambiance inside remained relaxed and welcoming, perfect for savoring our matcha.

Ordered their iced matcha latte with oat milk, unsweetened as well as an iced hojicha latte with…read moreoak milk, unsweetened. Getting a pretty basic, straight forward matcha or hojicha beverage is always a good way to tell how a store's quality of matcha is. Of course just a plain matcha like usucha is a better way of telling but I like mine with oat milk. Upon first sip of the matcha latte, I could tell immediately that the matcha quality is of very low grade. It was extremely bitter even with the oat milk which was unfortunate. I sipped on it on my walk home and once I was back, I added more oat milk to the cup. That's how bitter it was! On the other hand, the hojicha latte was quite alright. Nothing to write home about but I didn't have to make my own alterations for that one. I'd come back for a hojicha latte but definitely not for their matcha. I can make it better at home..using a high quality powder.

Coffee is great and staff is always super welcoming and have attention to detail. I always stop in for a bag of freshly roasted beans and doing so gets you a free cup of drip coffee or cold brew. The only thing that is slightly inconvenient is the constantly long line to order. On the bright side once you order you get your drink right away regardless of what you order. It's a solid assembly line operation they got going. Especially in my case when I typically only get a bag of beans to-go I wonder if they could change the system to allow me to forgo the line altogether, that would be a pleasant change. Anyways I highly recommend this coffee shop! High quality all the way around!

It was nicely spiced, smooth, and made with House made macadamia almond milk. Delightful!
