Banana matcha
Lisa N.

Stopped by Earth Tone Cafe after lunch at San Tung on a whim, and it ended up being the cutest little surprise! I got the banana matcha latte, which was made with real banana purée, so you get a little banana moment with each sip. It was creamy, lightly sweet, and such a fun twist on a matcha latte. Each drink was also decorated with a tiny dried flower, which is apparently all it takes to make my entire day. It was such a thoughtful little touch and made the whole drink feel extra special. Would definitely stop by again if I'm ever back in the area!

OMG what a gem! A nice little hole in the wall that they decorated so well that makes it seem bigger. The colors, the furniture, to the flowers taped on the cup. I tried the Thai Kaffe Latte and it was tasty! The drink was made quickly and to my liking, with oat milk and light ice. Although, I had little interaction with the lady working, the tiny details made the experience. When we're in the area again, I'll definitely be visiting. Such a cute and genuine place.

Thai banana cafe latte
Diane N.

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!

I found this coffee shop on yelp. Decided to give it a try! It is a very small coffee shop one tables and two bar stoles. There's two tables outside. The inside is really cute. The service was fast. They put a little flower on the cup. The coffee was pretty good and kept me up all day.

Coffee Caramel Latte
Sophia H.

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.

Only 16oz

Don't start your day here I ordered a matcha latte iced but requested no ice, because it's a raining morning , similar to what many cafés can accommodate. I was told that this modification wasn't possible. I also asked about switching to low-fat milk, but that was also not an option. For a drink over $7, the experience felt quite limited in terms of customization. At checkout, there was a prompt suggesting tipping starting at 15%, which felt a bit strong, especially considering the service structure. Overall, the experience felt very standardized with little flexibility. Might not be my preference for a casual coffee stop.

Thai Milk Tea & Matcha Oat Mango
Christina T.

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.

Stella Y.

Very cute place with good coffee. Own by a Thai woman and it was fun to chat with her in a little Thai since I have learned a bit of the language in Thailand. She's super friendly and often feed dogs treats to dogs visiting with their owners.

Mmmmatcha
Sondra H.

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.

Christina T.

Amazing ambience. Really cute decorations all around. Good coffee. Great customer service.

Tiny tiny coffee shop with limited seating inside and out front. Their drink menu is pretty large with unique flavored coffee, tea, and matcha options. I tried the hot banana Thai kafe latte which is their thai style coffee with real mashed up banana, LOVED it. Each cup comes with a cute dried flower on it too! I really enjoyed this drink, now I want to add mashed bananas to everything

Strawberry matcha
Ashley M.

This is the tiniest little coffee shop and it's super cute. There's a limited menu of drinks and a few bites. They have little succulent plants as well. There are only a few seats in the cafe and there is a table outside. I got the strawberry matcha and it was really good. The cups are cute with a little flower!

The amazing food part is mostly because of places like Sōhn and Neighbor Bakehouse. First of all, Sōhn's space is very aesthetically pleasing with so much open space with strong industrial-minimalist elements. Food just made it better. I got their very popular Galbi patty melt and because it was so good, I got another one to go for my husband. And a cup of hot tea. Wow! The Galbi patty melt was so juicy and delicious. I definitely get why they are so popular. The service was friendly as well. When I came in, the staff was friendly and asked if I was eating in or take out and directed me inside. It was very busy with a lot of people, so i opted to sit downstairs in the bar area. Enjoyed my patty melt and people watching. Located on 3rd St and 22nd St.

===TL;DR=== - Iced hojicha latte $5.50…read more- Iced yuja perilla espresso tonic $7 ===TMI=== Came here during their SF Elorea event so thought I try their drinks. Interior is this off white with warm and soft ambient lighting. Downstairs had a cozy couch and high chair hybrid corner to the left with bar seating in the middle and then they have this U shape setup for upstairs seating. Hojicha latte - great price but this did not taste like the hojicha profile I'm familiar with. In other words, I didn't like it. I wouldn't be able to tell this was a hojicha latte if I tasted this blindly. It just tasted very grainy, doesn't have that rich toasty nutty sweetness I'm used to. Tbh, idk what I was drinking at that point. Wouldn't recommend. Yuja perilla espresso tonic - if you need a wake up call, a punch in the face, this is the drink for you. Complex flavor profile. Very zesty citrusy and herby. It kind of softens up as the ice melts so the end was more enjoyable. Really wanted to like this trendy cafe that's all over social media but this time, it didn't deliver for me. Overall, I think I'll just try their coffee series next time. PSA: parking here is like a nightmare. Limited meter parking. I've seen cars just getting meter maid tickets left and right. Recommend to take public transportation or rideshare.

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.

We came right when they opened, which was perfect since there was a long line after we ordered…read more They sell Matcha, onigiris, spam musibis, and also Japanese sandwiches. For food got the Yuzu salmon onigiri, and the miso crab onigiri. Both of these came to a total of $12 which I thought was pretty expensive but it did taste pretty good. They are quite small like the palm of my hand, but it's good for a quick bite. For drinks, we got the hojicha latte. It's very good and it taste really authentic. It's nutty and creamy and overall a great drink place. This place is not meant for people to study. There's no Wi-Fi and there's a lot of people coming and going so it can get pretty distracting. They do have seating, but it gets taken up pretty fast by the amount of people that come to the shop.

The ebi shrimp katsu sando and chicken karaage sando were both satisfying, and the peach cream sando was a nice sweet treat to end with. The pistachio matcha latte was also a yummy drink! You can really taste the matcha and the pistachio cream is not too sweet.
