12 oz tuna salad + chicken Caesar salad "TGTG"
Jennifer O.

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.

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.

Lemon bar
Annie L.

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.

Too good too go pick up. I was a little disappointed in what I got. But, it's ok I still was happy with it.

Food taste great with an amazing ambiance and unique service for those coffee lovers they had variety of coffees roasted

My iced matcha latte as you can see all the ice in that cup I took about 3 to 4 sips & it was gone & next to it my poor smushed burnt bagel
SAreina B.

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.

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!

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.

Dark Chocolate Mocha
Sharice W.

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!

Chicken Salad Sandwich on wheat bread
Annie W.

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.

Lots of fresh food and healthy items available
Fiona M.

Food, service and ambiance was very welcoming. The place was clean with lots of fresh food and healthy food options. My hot chai latte with oak milk had a great aroma and was delicious.

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.

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.

(i sound like an american health influencer...oh wait i am american). anyway they're a bit too sweet but the frangipane tastes good. the plain one is boring in a bad way. pain suisse is okay too. it's ironic that their best croissants are the day-old ones since they are twice baked with frangipane pumpkin bread was pretty good! again a bit too sweet but spice and pumpkin came in strong like pow pow. bostock was good too - my first time. again a twice baked pastry except it's brioche and the syrup is passionfruit. the fruit flavor was slight but i wish it was stronger. super interesting to eat though i also wish that the heat and freshness of the pastries didn't vary so wildly. some days they're cold as frozen peas and other days they're nice and crispy and warm and fluffy and fireplace-y and hot-mug-y. sorry i have a lot of wishes. unfortunately big B may not be able to satisfy them. i wish i can go back to try the black sesame one but i'm too broke and i have an astronomically low attention span so i can't wait in line

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!

Instead of lingering inside, the move is to take your drink to go and head down to Rincon Park, whether there are plenty of benches and waterfront views.

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

On my question if I can have a spoon was short "right there" not even pointing me any direction.

What a shame, I don't expect 5 star service but simply splitting ice cream, giving me a spoon or just pay any attention to me as a customer would be enough for those tips that they asked upfront. Lesson learned, never again, although we are in this mall often.
