The barista looked very grumpy but when I asked him if he baked the pasties in the back, he said, yes with his little easy bake oven and tiny light bulb.... I love people with a sense of humor and I had a blast. The latte he made was good too. The people behind me in line were cracking up at our banter. What a great experience.

I've been craving Brazilian cheese bread after eating one from a Brazilian steak house and this…read moreplace definitely satisfied my cravings for it. Their Pao de queijo is a large enough portion where you can half it. Also tried their cheese waffles but it didn't have the same cheesy bounce that the pao de queijo has. But the dipping sauces was a great addition and paired even better with the pao de queijo. Might just order that on the side next time. Overall, the ambiance was very chic. Saw a couple dogs sitting on the floor with their owners so I'll choose to dine in the next time I bring my pup.

All around pleasant experience in terms of both the service and coffee. I had the flight and…read morethought it was overall good. They explained that the flight includes an espresso shot, espresso shot with milk, hot coffee, and iced coffee. I hadn't had a straight espresso shot before, so this wasn't for me personally just because it was so overpowering. I enjoyed the other three though. Like the majority of SF, parking is difficult to locate. I was dropped off nearby the location. There is indoor and outdoor seating; I was able to grab an empty spot late in the morning on a weekend, but I don't think seating is always readily available. It's not a huge space.

I was SO SO excited to try Kopiku since it's been on my list for so long!! I visited on a Saturday…read moreand luckily the rush came in right behind my friend and I. I'm a lover of pandan and had SO much trouble choosing a drink because of it lol. I ended up ordering the kopi klepon and it was amazing! The drink was super creamy and earthy, and I loved how vibrant the pandan flavor was. Oftentimes when I get pandan drinks the flavor is way too light, but this had the perfect amount. It also had a bit of palm sugar in it, which added just the right level of sweetness. Definitely lived up to the hype!

Been wanting to come here for the longest time since Indonesian coffee sounded so unique! Luckily…read moreno line on a Saturday morning but people slowly started coming in by 9:30. A couple tables along the side but overall not too big inside. Couldn't decide what to get but I loved that their menu included visuals for the components of each drink. Price is slightly on the higher end but I guess you can't get Indonesian coffee anywhere else in SF. Ended up with a macchiato and cappuccino to try. Staff was friendly and I appreciate that they were informative about the macchiato being different than how Starbucks does it. Our drinks were freshly made and ready in 5 mins. Size of the macchiato was definitely a lot smaller than I realized but the coffee was nice and bold. Both drinks allowed us to appreciate the pure coffee bean taste without being too bitter. Looking forward to coming back and trying the popular kopi pandan!

What can I say? Location matters when it comes to coffee. I can't think of a more pedestrian…read moreunfriendly intersection in the city than Lombard and Van Ness. After all, there isn't a freeway that connects the bridges, so all the vehicular traffic courses through this congested main artery like a coronary you just know is bound to happen. That's what makes it less than desirable to be a pedestrian on this block. However, this compact coffee spot does an exemplary job in mitigating the traffic noise and safety distractions by serving solid caffeine options. I survived the crosswalk and had a satisfying $5.50 Cold Brew (Photo 7) next to the window. That's all I can ask.

This is by far my favorite Yemeni coffee shop that I've been to. Hema…read more Their cinnamon date latte is my go-to fan favorite. I've gone back three times now specifically just to get that drink. It's so beautifully presented too, with three dates on top. Really, really good food overall, and generally just really friendly staff every time I've been to all of the locations I've visited. This specific location is right downtown, so it's a quick walk to the Ferry Building, which makes it an amazing spot. Really good location, really good coffee, really good food, great people, and they have a nice seating area. Like I said, this is probably my favorite Yemeni coffee place I go to, and I will definitely be going back many more times.

A great spot with very unique drinks and pastries…read more I worked a bit here last Wednesday and this was truly a perfect spot. The chai is very good and quite different than others in the city with a bit more of a spiced savory flavor. I paired that with their homemade baklava which was absolutely delicious. It's also such a wonderful place to work. The staff is kind, the wifi is strong, and there are plenty of outlets with music that isn't too loud. Hoping to return soon.

This is a popular neighborhood bakery that is also famous in the entire city. They're famous for…read moretheir Kouign Amann, French pastries with an Asian flavored twist. When the full size Kouign Amann runs out these breadsticks, see my photos, are excellent substitutes: caramelized, sweet, crunch, and flaky. Sort of like bite size Kouign Amann. The layered coffee / espresso cake is excellent, just the right amount of coffee, sweetness and cream. It's subtly sweet and just the right harmony of bite through the layers. It's a little small portioned but love the sleek rectangular slice. They often have seasonal, Asian inspired flavors such as sesame Kouign Amann. For holidays, order ahead, and arrive early. For fresh Kouign Amann's, get them early in the morning. They sell out. Location: near UCSF Mount Zion medical center.

It was perfect timing for our group of five. We'd just finished dinner nearby and came specifically for the legendary Irish Coffee. This was my first time here but my friends have been raving about it. The employees were great. As soon as we sat down, they brought menus and waters for the table. We ordered 5 Irish coffees and they showed up at our table within minutes. That cold, heavy cream on top is perfect, and while you can definitely taste the whiskey, it's not overpowering. We couldn't stop at just one. It's loud and crowded here but the staff were so efficient, they were clearing empty glasses the second you're done. Parking around Ghirardelli is a nightmare as usual, so just head straight for the square's garage or take an Uber over. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area!

The raspberry syrup is especially good mixed with the oat milk, and the matcha is decently strong in caffeine and flavor without being overpowering.

Visited this coffee shop a Thursday morning at around 8AM. The spot was a bit busy, but there were…read morea few tables opened and the line was on the short side (2 folks before me). I was in and out in around 5-10min. I ordered the maple cinnamon latte and the triple ginger scone. The maple cinnamon latte was DELICIOUS. The sweetness of the maple balance perfectly with the cinnamon. I had never heard of the ginger scone before, so I decided to give it a try and it was surprisingly very good. I was scared that the flavor of the ginger would overpower the sweetness of the scone, but quite the opposite. It had the spiciness of the ginger and the sweetness of the scone. Overall, would 100% revisit. It's also a great sport to work remotely, with a lot of sitting areas and tables.
