A cafe with a very cute interior and Thai-style coffees next to GGP! This location is two stores down from San Tung and about a 10-15 minute walk from Golden Gate Park. It is tucked away and a bit inconspicuous, so be sure to keep an eye out if you decide to come over here. Since it is near the park, parking is difficult, and taking Muni would be best. The store itself is small, with two tightly packed tables for seating, and the order counter is surrounded by delicious-looking pastries, giving it a homey vibe. I went in the afternoon on a weekend, and there was no line at the time. I really needed a caffeine boost, saw this place on Yelp, and decided to try it out. I try my best to order coffees/drinks that are unique to the place so I can try their signatures and form my best judgment. I decided to order the Thai Caffe Banana Latte and saw that it was labeled as blended with bananas. When I went up to the counter, I asked about the consistency of the latte to ensure it was not a creamy blended drink (like a smoothie) but still liquid, like a typical latte. I am unsure if my question was confusing, but it seemed to bother the person serving me that I was asking questions, and they seemed to be getting impatient with me. When they rang me up, I paid, but I forgot to ask for almond milk since I felt rushed while ordering (even though no one else was in the store at the time). I asked if I could still add it in and pay the upcharge or separate fee. They ended up telling me to just tip them the extra $1 in cash or add it to the Square payment as a tip (I gave $2 in cash because I felt bad for inconveniencing them). When I got the drink, the coffee was strong, bold, and not as sweet as I thought it was going to be (which was fine!). Since the original coffee without banana says it has condensed milk, I thought it was going to have more of that sweet note with the banana, but I could be incorrect in assuming it would be sweeter. That said, the banana itself was mashed into the drink, and unfortunately, I did not taste it very much, though I did sip up some banana pieces. Based on the drinks and the service, perhaps this place just is not for me, but I would not tell you to avoid it either. I would recommend trying it yourself to formulate your own thoughts, since maybe my experience was a one-off and the drink I got was not the one that best represents this cafe! read more

Super cute coffee shop with a bright, warm, and welcoming ambiance. The shop is on the smaller side but there are a few tables and chairs inside. I ordered an iced Coffee Caramel Latte, subbed oat milk, and I asked for less sweet. The drink was good. I loved the little flower and sticker on the cup. read more

We stopped by about 30 minutes before closing and were pleasantly surprised by how quickly our drinks were made. We ordered the Matcha Oat Mango and the Thai Milk Tea and both were delicious. The Thai Milk Tea was not overly sweet but the Matcha Oat Mango was on the sweeter side, which I think is from the mango jam. Some matcha places make their matcha really bitter and here it wasn't. We're not from the area, so parking was a little tricky to find, the store is on the smaller side, but it's super cute inside with a cozy vibe. Overall, a nice little stop. read more

I stopped here randomly to get a matcha latte (hot). With just a touch of sweetness, and an unexpected dusting of matcha powder, it hits the spot. She's resting on the marble cafe table, while I write this review. Yes, "she" because you'll have to look at her portrait to understand how beautiful she looks in her decorated cup in this eclectic, romancy cafe. You can get a variety of dainty snacks here, including brownie bites, mixed nut crackers, and almond cookies. If you need something more, there are egg bites, potato puffs, scones, and Thai curry with rice. Doggie treats and a water bowl too! Next time I'll try the specialty, Thai milk tea. My new favorite little cafe. read more

I wanted some coffee and like to support small shops. I was drawn to this cafe because a reviewer mentioned a warm and welcoming atmosphere. This was definitely not the case. The employee looked like she didn't want to be there and is in need of customer service training. I ordered an iced drink that tastes of chemicals. 1 star for the cute flowers taped on the cup and 1 star for cleanliness. read more

Very small -- but it doesn't seem crowded when I got there around 11:20! It has two tables for outdoor seating (but seats two each). Came to do work -- works nicely if you don't need too much space but not super ideal. A lot of the people who passed through came to talk and catch up with friends. They have a nice selection of specialty drinks -- got the Thai tea coffee iced latte and it was tasty. This is a nice spot for a quick drink and to have a small chat with friends. Will not recommend if you want to do work (I did tho) only because space is limited (thought there's an outlet available for charging). read more

I visited Earth Tone Cafe and the service is what really brought my rating down. On the menu, the rose tea is only listed as a cold drink, so when my order was given to me as a hot tea instead, my boyfriend politely pointed it out. Instead of acknowledging the mistake or asking for clarification, the server bluntly said that we never specified hot or cold, even though the menu itself shows it as a cold drink by default. She did remake the drink, but the way she handled the situation just felt unfriendly. On top of that, she took back the hot drink instead of letting us keep it, which just came across as a bit stingy. Otherwise, it's such a warm, cozy, and cute spot. The decor is aesthetic and inviting, making it a great place to sit and relax. The drinks and food also look amazing, and I was excited to try them. I ordered a blueberry scone, which was flavorful and had a nice tang, though I wish it had been warmed up. The rose tea was tasty as well. It's a shame because the café itself is really lovely, and I would have rated it five stars if the service had been more professional and welcoming. I really hope they work on that, because otherwise, this place has a lot of potential. read more

My friend and I popped in to try a few drinks. I had a perfect Americano, and one of the three teas he ordered instantly became his new favorite. I'm still obsessed with the cups, too. I'm not big on writing reviews, but I had to for this place because the owner completely melted my heart. He clearly loves the neighborhood and knows every dog that comes in by name. I didn't bring my dog this trip, but I wish I had after finding such a warm, welcoming spot. Come for the drinks, stay for the people, and bring your pup to meet their new best friend. Truly a special place. read more

Earth Tone Cafe has been in my bookmarks for a while now, and I finally found some time to visit them during a weekday afternoon. The shop was mostly empty, which is what I hoped for as I wanted to enjoy my book in a comfy spot. It is a smaller sized cafe, which makes it feel very cozy, with both indoor and outdoor seating offered. The shop was bright and clean, and the staff was also very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. I really wanted to try their ube latte, which I saw photos of on their Yelp, but it wasn't on the menu. I asked the barista if they still offered it, and she said she could make it for me! It came out a very vibrant purple color and I could taste and feel actual chunks of ube in it, which I was surprised by as other cafe use some sort of artificial syrup or powder. Definitely check this place out for a slow and relaxing experience with great coffee options! read more

I came out to the city because my sister had some errands to run. My mom wanted to find a coffee shop in the Sunset, and found this, and it was a hit! I ordered the mango tea since I don't drink coffee. I asked the employee if the tea they used was green tea, and she said they use black tea. Regardless, the tea was really good and helped energize me from the first swig. I loved that the tea was iced, because it was such a refreshing drink for a relatively warm day in the Sunset at 70. The employee was super friendly and even though the interior is kinda cramped, they have a table and bench outdoors for customers. I don't have many reasons to come to the Sunset, but I would come by here again if I was ever in the neighborhood. read more

A cute mini coffee shop open until late afternoon! Dropped by around 3:15pm for afternoon coffee. Got myself a banana latte and it was great! Definition of "not too sweet" for a flavored latte. There were chunks of banana in the drink, which added to the banana flavor of the latte--it reminded me of a dirty (shot of espresso) banana milk from Boba Guys, but less sweet. This place is great for one-stop coffee, a small snack (I saw some egg bites on display and other trinkets), and/or catching up with a friend. Mini tables are provided inside and outside, as well as a dog water bowl for passing by dogs. All in all a cute coffee shop on Irving with interesting flavors on the menu. Will definitely return to try them! read more

First off, me and my friends walked in around 5:45pm and we didn't realize they had closed at 5. Once we did, we said we would leave but the lady working (by herself, mind you!) said it was fine and we would be her last customers for the day. Not only did she make us all drinks wayyyyy past closing, but she was so sweet!! The decor is very cozy, feels very hole-in-the-wall. The drink was a pretty standard matcha and she had a handful of nondairy milk substitutes. Please support this business!! read more

I got my drink handed directly to where I was sitting! Although it's a small spot, it has quite a bit of seating inside and outside, about 7 people inside and 8 people outside. I came here to study and it was great, lots of lighting and enough outlets around to charge. Now to the drinks and food!! I ordered an Iced Thai Milk Tea and it was honestly very delicious and perfectly sweet. My friend ordered their Cafe Latte and it was super basic and delicious, which is what you want from a simple coffee choice. They also have very funky and cool flavors to try out in terms of sweetener for coffees which I will definitely be back to taste. read more

But if you got the seat, it's very cozy and quaint. I'd love to just sit here starring out on the street, enjoying the Christmas lights on the window or just busy bodies walking pass the cafe. Outside is a bit cold in winter. The coffee beans they chose were quite aromatic and tasty. I had the shortbreads and weren't impressed.

Wonderful spot! The service is so nice and the food is great (highly recommend the Korean burger…read moreand cold noodles). Will definitely be coming back to work from here.

One thing about me is that I love, love, love a cute cafe. I've been wanting to visit Sohn for a…read morefew months now, but I finally got to try on my recent trip to SF! Ok, first: the vibes. It might be a little controversial, but to me, the ambiance of a cafe is most important! And at Sohn, the atmosphere is immaculate. It's very obviously a Korean-style cafe. The interior is washed in a palette of soft neutrals and pale wood. Lots of open spaces, airy lantern light fixtures, fabric tapestries, etc., etc., etc. So beautiful, and so perfect for photos! (My friend and I took lots, believe me.) The only "complaint" I have is that it isn't open seating; an employee will seat you when you arrive, so you can't really choose where you want to settle. Kinda bummed because I wanted to see upstairs. Even though I prioritize cafe aesthetics over food, I'm pleased to report that the food and drinks at Sohn are just as delicious as they look. Style AND substance! There's a QR code at each table, which you scan to order. The workers bring the items to your table directly, which is pretty nice. Here is a rundown of everything we ordered: - Banana oat milk hojicha latte: Wait, why was this so good? It actually might be one of the best drinks I've ever tried. You can tell they use real bananas; there are literally chunks of banana at the bottom. No artificial syrups here. The banana is sweet and creamy, not bitter at all. Plus, it's oat milk! Yay for my fellow lactose-intolerant friends. The hojicha was okay, though. I think that, if it were nuttier, the roasted flavor would've complemented the banana so well, bringing this drink to a whole new level. - Coffee hojicha: Pretty bitter if you don't add syrup, but once it's properly sweetened, it's pretty good. Since their hojicha isn't very flavorful, it's easily overpowered by the coffee, so I wouldn't recommend this one. (Though it's not bad.) - Popcorn chicken: This was so delicious and beautifully presented in a round stone bowl. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the fried rice cakes were a unique inclusion! They are rolled in a seaweed seasoning, which reminds me of furikake. Glad they have savory items, too. - Gochujang cookie: Meh, honestly, you can skip this. It's not a bad cookie per se, but it tastes like a regular ol' sugar cookie. I don't taste the gochujang at all. It's not even a pretty cookie, haha, so I wouldn't even order it for aesthetics either. But overall, I had a great experience at Sohn! I saw a lot of people working on their computers here, but it's also a solid spot for photos or hanging out with friends. Parking wasn't too bad when I went (a weekday afternoon), but I heard the line can get long. I would totally recommend this place, and I hope I can return soon to try more items.

If I wanted to spend a long time working there, I would probably prefer to get a pot, but I'm not sure why someone would spend a long time of this area unless they worked at an office here.

Amazing date night spot and open surprisingly late. :) They have a wide array of wines, beers, and signature cocktails. I got their hot apple cider and it was good! It wasn't strong [:(] but it was definitely delicious [:3]. The chairs built into the wall were a little uncomfy but they looked so chic. The bar projected an anime on the wall on the night that we went and it made for a great vibe. Service was a little slow (it seemed like it was only one person servicing the whole place) but they were friendly and attentive! Would 100% recommend checking the Social Study out if you're in the area!

I really can't put into words what a vibe this place is. From the exposed brick walls to the reclaimed wood tables, floors etc. the whole place felt "lived in" and upbeat. The drinks and service were top tier, and the curated small bites menu of snacks were a perfect accompaniment to the evening. If you are in the area, or want to pregame before a night out in the Fillmore or Japantown, this is a good place to kick the night into gear.

Most pastries were sold out, just a few options left at 1:30. Kumquat twice baked was on the sweeter side as most twice baked croissants are. Don't see kumquat often so was glad to try it, but wasn't my fave since it was pretty dense, especially with the crumble on top. Black sesame cappuccino was small but mighty, very flavorful, and I especially appreciated staff giving me a heads up that it's typically on the sweeter side, giving me the option to dial that down per my preference. I think the kumquat croissant was $10 and the black sesame cappuccino $7, so on the high end for sure.

We got the strawberry matcha latte and the hojicha palmer which were ok but the Matcha Cream Pie was the highlight with the light lemony notes in the cream.

The hojicha palmer tasted like Korean pomelo tea - I think they use that marmalade in it - and again I couldn't taste the roasty aromatic notes of hojicha that I love. Note that they seat you, you don't seat yourself.

The salted cheese cream on top added this perfect savory balance to the sweetness of the drink. It's one of those combinations that sounds a little unexpected but just works. My one note for next time is to go half sugar so the matcha flavor can really shine through, but that's a personal preference more than a criticism. The Black Sesame Latte was good, but we both wished the sesame flavor was a little more pronounced. If you're going in expecting bold, nutty black sesame notes, it's a touch on the subtle side. Still enjoyable, just leaves you wanting a little more of what drew you to order it in the first place. Overall a really fun spot with creative drinks and a great vibe. Already thinking about what to try on the next visit!

Sitting in their garden for brunch on a sunny-ish day (SF rarely gets hot-hot) is so good, & thankfully, so is the food. My $20 order of Chilaquiles is the most expensive item on the menu; proof that a moderately-priced, filling meal can still be found in this economy. Enjoyed my plate of two eggs, properly-crisp bacon, & small pile of sauced-up tortilla chips. I 86'ed refried beans, as I'm not a fan, but for those who partake, I imagine it bulks up the meal considerably.

On the May Fourth be with you today Star Wars movie has Cinderella undertones. Growing up the Piroshki was all around the corner liquor stores in San Francisco especially in the Mission District ( a whole different Cinderella story). The piroshki would be a fast microwaved treat to have during lunch and after school. Over the years I have been very selective when picking up a piroshki from a corner store because they can be very doughy. There is one bakery in San Francisco which has been making a variety of piroshkis for over 70 years. This Russian bakery has both the savory and the sweet . It's located on Balboa street and it's called Cinderella. On a Spring stroll I landed at Cinderella. Inside you can see and smell the delicious bake goods which can be sweet and some salty like some in SF. On the sweet side I enjoy their honey cake but no donuts . On the savory side it's the piroshkis. My favorite is the beef and cheddar piroshki. It wasn't too cheesy like some in SF but the beef was tender and it almost tastes like a smashed burger ( not to be confused with smash burger) all in a soft bun. The are other interesting items on the menu like Pelmeni which are Russian dumplings and Siberian Pie. You can wash it all down with a Matcha Latte ( for Don Juan de la Matcha) or the Kompot drink. There is a planned expansion to the Mission District in with a location at 2937 24th street. This will be a good Cinderella story for all of San Francisco. Go to a place which has a good piroshki "supply" these piroshki buns get baked and some they do "fry" they have other baked goods and food you can "try" like their Grilled Salmon salad and the Cherry Vareniki the Russian Dumpling which has sour cream & sour cherries or the "Siberian Pie" So go on a stroll to "Cinderella" which is the place when it comes to piroshki and baked goods because they got "hella" tasty variations like the Blinchiki with Caviar with more than a bump and you also have one made with it "Nutella" and this bakery sings to me like a Broadway " A capella"
