A 'Too Good to Go' winner, for a skinny price they packed up Mac & tuna and grilled chicken Caesar salads, a deal. We augmented our TGTG special with two iced, spiced chai lattes, a warm breakfast burrito with egg, potato and bacon and a chicken sandwich to take to school the next day. The sandwich was tasty but $9.75 it was light on chicken though well seasoned. This location of Cumaica is large and sun-drenched with several tables if you want to dine in. Service was pleasant. read more

Here for the Avocado Toast listed on the menu. Delicious, but not avocado toast. It's a sandwich. We even had an extended conversation on toasting the bread. I don't get it. I customized, nixed the tomato & butter, kept the raw onions, added hard boiled egg & bacon. Super friendly staff. Busy intersection. My experience included a homeless guy standing in the doorway. No danger, just sad. If you're one of those laptop campers, nobody will bother you here. Anyway, it's a hike from Union Square, but I'd definitely return. read more

Stopped in for drinks in the morning. Ordered a strawberry banana smoothie, iced chai and a lemon bar. All 3 items came to $17. Expensive drinks, smoothie was good and chai was bitter with an overload of ice. Friendly service. Menu has all sorts of coffee, beans, and non caffeine drinks as well. Plenty of grab to go food options like muffins, scones, cakes, parfaits, salads, burritos, as well as toast and sandwiches. read more

First thing first, please look at my picture and judge from that.. it's not the best & I didn't think I wanted to post a review but I changed my mind. I got a matcha latte - had too much ice and very milky. I also ordered a bagel w/cream cheese warmed - my bagel was a bit burnt & the young girl smushed my bagel. I don't want to say she did it intentionally but it felt like she did. I sat at the window table enjoying my day. This was my 3rd time visiting here. read more

Nice ambiance with decent food and drinks. We were regulars pre pandemic and then post pandemic we were purposely charged extra food that were not ordered. As we waited for our paninis to heat, I visually tallied up the drinks and food, no receipt in hand, so I asked why I was charged more. The cashier immediately tapped on the register that had my charges saved after already helping others. Her English was limited but she printed a receipt with all the items listed. Our order were listed at the top and the muffins were added to the bottom. She refunded my credit card without needing my card and deducted the muffins knowing that I realized the overcharges. Sadly we no longer support this business. Hope they improve their business practice. read more

The price for everything changes every time I go in there. I told a coworker and she said the price depends on the cashier.

This unpretentious coffee shop has a homey cozy centered vibe that stands out from the more common coffee chains. I love their bacon burritos and nitro cold brew. read more

Love this place! I live nearby and don't like Peet's and try to avoid Starbucks so I tried Cumaica out and it's definitely my new go to. I like my lattes on the sweeter side and they make them perfect to my taste here! They also have bagels, pastries, sweets, and snacks! I love the lox bagel and have had a few of their pastries which were all yummy!! Cafe inside is clean and I like the decor of the front entrance! read more

Love this place. Lovely staff. Good coffee and food. Clean rest room. Bright, clean space. Puts the Peet's across the street to shame

Despite the so so reviews I tried this place out in the pursuit of a dark chocolate mocha. I asked if they were available here and was surprised when the barista said yes(didn't see it listed on the menu but maybe I missed it). The dark chocolate mocha was yummy. I returned to try out the chai, which was too gingery for me. Also had my first salmon lox badge here and now I'm hooked! Service is quick and friendly, staff took her time preparing my lox and it was yummy! read more

First time at Cumaica, but I don't think it'll be my last! Had their chicken salad sandwich and it was stuffed full with chicken salad. The chicken salad was pretty unique because it had raisins, red bell peppers, celery, and the usual stuff that goes in chicken salad; the raisins and bell peppers made it unique! It included a good amount of lettuce, too, which I love in sandwiches. There was a display case full of different breakfast type pastries; doughnuts, scones, coffee cake, etc. and everything looked fresh and tasty. I didn't have any, but everyone said the coffee was good, too. The cooler that might have held cold beverages before was totally empty, so maybe it's no longer self serve. They did have cold beverages in one of the cases, though, but you'd have to ask for it at the counter. The interior of Cumaica is clean and modern. I don't think there are any tables inside, but there is one just outside their establishment. There were a couple of people behind the counter and the person who helped me was nice and pleasant. read more

I've always wanted to come here but haven't until today. This was a cute spot... nothing flashy or anything fancy. It's a very simple coffee shop with a decent food menu and decent coffee. It definitely gave a more neighborhood coffee shop vibe. I typically try to get a sparkling americano, but this didn't seem like the place to order that (I'd order that at places like cafe rèveille). So I got the vanilla latte instead because it just sounded good. I was surprised with the overall quality of my drink... I wish I took a picture of it but I drank it because I was sleepy. But the flavor and texture of my drink was fabulous. I was tempted to get the lox bagel because it sounded great but I didn't. I got the breakfast burrito with bacon. It was small but quite filling. My only feedback for it is that it could use a little spice... like siracha or chill crisp oil or something. But that's a personal preference maybe. I did see someone else order a lox bagel and will definitely get it next time because it really did look BOMB DOT COM! Lol The service was fine. The people here were nice and they warmed up my burrito. You can tell this place has plenty of regulars because they knew right away what they'd want when they walked in. Bonus, this might have been just the day I was here or a personal preference as well but there was quite a bit of customers I'd consider "eye candy"... lol Overall, I'd recommend checking it out... and I'd also come back too if my client cancels and I'm in the area. read more

My first purchase of "Too Good To Go" and was told to pick up between 1 pm to 2 pm. I got 4 pastries. 1 scone, 1 walnut muffin, 1 glazed scone, and one glazed lemony something. Pastries were fresh and tasty. Was able to share with co-workers. read more

I love this quaint local coffee shop. Since starting a new job in SF where Cumaica is within walking distance, I am a regular patron. I typically order their coffee, which is always hot and good, or get s tea. I like the variety tea selections and when I want to be fancy I'll get a Cortado. Their lemon glazed scones are delicious - super moist and fresh. As I write this review, I just scarfed down a everything bagel with cream cheese. The bagel was light and nicely toasted. The staff is always welcoming too. This is a true reasonably priced coffee who in the downtown area! read more

Great location, great coffee, great service! Huge cafe at the corner of 10th and Mission that I love going to over the weekends for a quiet morning coffee and avocado toast. They have a bunch of standard breakfast options like different flavors of bagels boiled eggs, avocado toast. It is quite expensive though, like everywhere else in the city I guess. For an avocado toast, couple of boiled eggs and a coffee you end up with a $30 bill. Overall, great coffee and fun place to soak in the sun along with the coffee! read more

I had the nitro cold brew coffee as well as an egg and cheese bagel with sausage. I enjoyed both. I was attending training in the area. If they were open later, I probably would have gotten more stuff from them. read more

Checked this place out when another spot was closed and it was hit or miss. I got the iced dirty chai and the egg cheese and sausage bagel. The bagel sandwich was good. I was supposed to get an iced dirty chai but when I tried the drink, it didn't taste like chai at all - it tasted like just coffeee. When asked if it was mine, it was confirmed to be a chai, so do not recommend ordering that here. read more

I walked 40 minutes from my office to a different office in this neighborhood and was parched. Luckily, Cumaica was open for about 20 minutes so I caught them when employees were just starting to clean up. It's also located near quite a few apartments, and I am jealous of the people who live there because they can come here more often than me! I tried the Mexican hot chocolate and it was warm and cinnamonny. Service was quick and friendly. I'll have to come back to try some of their food and sweets. This would be a good place to do work or read, too! read more

Being a loyal customer of Martha Brother's & Cumaica since the 90s. I prefer to support small businesses. Quickly stopped in with a colleague to grab 2 cups of regular coffee. The total was $8.50 paid with $100. No receipt was offered. Count your change before leaving!!! $42.50 is a HUGE DIFFERENCE from $91.50. That was an expensive 2 cups of coffee. Don't rely on the cashiers integrity. This was an unpleasant experience. Sadly, having read others' reviews/encounters and the rude responses from the establishment really reflect poorly on the business. Corrective measures should be implemented to rectify customer concerns. Very disappointing. Although, I won't continue to patronize. I'd hate to see the business that you and your family worked so hard for deteriorate due to the carelessness & negligence of others. read more

very amazing food ambience is comforting and the service is top tier!! would totally recommend!!

Really lovely, locally-owned coffee shop on 10th and Mission, between Van Ness and Civic Center Stations. Good assortment of pastries, prepacked sandwiches/salads, as well as freshly prepared breakfast sandwiches too. Very bright and clean inside with good energy and happy music. Outside seating is limited (maybe 2 tables) but plenty of seating inside. read more

SoMa could definitely use another neighborhood cafe, but convenient hours would also be nice. I rarely walk by when this corner cafe is open because I'm usually doing my strolling in the evening after I do my routine at the gym (like letting the elliptical do the work for me) or the weekend when I'm getting coffee at The Market (since I can't afford anything else in there). Even though it's relatively new, the vibe here is a lot earthier than its geographically immediate brethren, Peet's and Coffee Cultures, where most of the hipsters congregate. That may have to do with the pre-packaged picnic food they sell here rather than the high-end pastries of which they have just a few on the counter. I came in for just a $2.25 cup of their House Coffee (photo: http://bit.ly/2BRrtzX) and parked myself at one of their high-top tables. It was satisfying for a pick-me-up before heading home, and I noticed the motley customers coming in and out of the store looked like relatively normal people unlike the anorexically slender, nose-ringed youngsters who frequent the coffee stops across the street. COFFEE - 4 stars...a fine cup of joe AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...pretty spacious SERVICE - 3 stars...a bit indifferent but who cares TOTAL - 4 stars...the hipsters go elsewhere, 'nuff said read more

This place is SO underrated - their coffee is amazing, their pastries are delicious and fresh, and the staff is so friendly. They have a huge selection of food and pastries and so far everything I've tried has been great - and super well priced! Cheaper than any nearby coffee shops. Most of the bad reviews mention service or things unrelated to the food/coffee (which are amazing) so I wouldn't listen to them especially if you want quality food/coffee read more

This is for Too Good To Go review only. The original order is saving $15 worth of food and I received a cream cheese bagel and a bacon breakfast burrito.

Tasty, no frills coffee shop. This is a standard urban care done well. The coffee beverages they serve are delicious, including the espresso drinks. The pastures are varied and plentiful (I can't resist the morning glory cake). The service is very fast. More substantial breakfast sandwiches and bottled beverages are also available. The interior is fairly clean, considering it is right on the sidewalk on Mission, but still shows the signs of years of urban service. This cafe is a great pit stop for the sleepy city wanderer or office worker. read more

Saw a lot of locals here coming in for a quick cup of coffee. The coffee itself is pretty good here but the food is just all right. The front cashier lady was super nice and helpful and gave me recommendations! She would just fill in the order with sizes and customizations I never asked for so I ended up with a slightly different order than what I wanted. I got a caramel macchiato but I wanted it a little sweeter and when I went up to the barista to ask for some more caramel/simple syrup/sweetener she was rude and seemed annoyed and I felt really bad. :( It's a pretty typical coffee shop but there are others really close by that would curate a better cup of coffee for you. If you just wanted a quick local cup, this place will definitely do the job! read more
