    Matcha
    Kimberly L.

    I liked this spot. I wish the service was slightly faster and better seating but the matcha was good. This pistachio drink looked really interesting, I'd love to try that next time. This is right near the Compass office so I'll be back.

    I love the vibe of this place! The music was so good (early 2000s R&B in the morning? Yes please) and the whole shop smelled amazing from all the sweet treats they had. I didn't get to try any of it this time because I was saving my appetite for lunch, but I'll definitely be back for them. We came around 9 AM on a Saturday and were greeted right away. Our drinks also came out really quickly. I ordered the matcha latte which was decent and my husband got the pistachio einspanner - that one was fire. There's some seating inside, plus a little area in the back that's super cute and quaint. Overall, it's a really solid coffee spot with immaculate vibes. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Stopped by Goodthing Coffee in Burlingame. Such an aesthetic spot, with cozy indoor and outdoor seating that's perfect for catching with friends. No line and super friendly customer service. We ordered Urban Angel Pistachio Matcha and the Strawberry Fields Matcha.

    I am absolutely obsessed with goodthing coffee!! Specially their pistachio cream. It's sweet, thick, and nutty. I have never had anything like goodthing's pistachio cream elsewhere. You have to try either their pistachio einspanner latte or urban angel if you are here. The urban angel is their version of a matcha pistachio einspanner. Service is always great and the staff is super friendly! There's some seating inside the store and outside their patio space. Bathroom available for customers too.

    I recently stopped by Goodthing Coffee in Burlingame and ordered the Urban Angel, their pistachio matcha, and honestly the pistachio top deserves its own moment. It's incredibly creamy and easily one of the best pistachio foams I've had. You can really taste the quality, and it pairs beautifully with the matcha. I got it with oat milk, which worked well and didn't overpower the flavors. The space itself is very small but charming, tucked right off Burlingame Ave. It's easy to miss if you're not paying attention, but once you spot it, parking in the area is surprisingly easy. This visit definitely felt like a redemption compared to my first time here. On my previous visit, they didn't have what I wanted to order, and the experience felt a bit underwhelming. This time around was much smoother, and the drink itself really delivered. That said, I'm taking one star off purely for the price. It's very steep for the portion size. The cup is quite small for what you're paying. While I do think the quality justifies the cost to an extent, it still feels a little hard to swallow given how quickly the drink is gone. Overall, if you're a matcha or pistachio lover, this is definitely worth trying at least once. High quality, thoughtfully made drinks, just be prepared for the premium price tag.

    As an eternally caffeinated individual, I'm always looking to scope out new coffee spots. And while I was sad to see Cafe Siete close, I have had very good experiences so far at Goodthing Coffee! Walking in, you're greeted with a welcoming, cozy atmosphere. You'll see people working on laptops, chatting amongst friends, and overall enjoying themselves in the laid back environment. While there isn't a ton of seating inside, there is also a small outdoor seating area for more options if you're looking to spend some time here. I've tried a few different drinks here and have enjoyed them all! Particular favorites of mine have included the Pistachio Einspanner and their matcha latte. But all their drinks are lovingly crafted - balanced, and rich with flavor. They also have a good variety of rotating drip coffees with unique flavor profiles that are usually quite tasty and fun to experiment with as well. The staff is always very friendly and welcoming, and really contribute to the home-y atmosphere. My biggest issue is that the prices can be a bit tough to swallow... up to $10+ for a drip coffee and $7 for a small standard latte is a bit steep (although I suppose to be fair, it's not too far out of bounds from other cafes in the area). Overall, I really enjoy Goodthing and will certainly continue returning for a consistently tasty and well-crafted cup of coffee!

    Lovee Goodthing coffee. Staff is always nice. My favorite drinks are the hojicha latte, and the pistachio einspanner drink. My friend got the cortado and it was really good as well. Space is kind of small but there's a cute little patio in the back you can hang.

    Cute little cafe. The drinks have unique names so if you have questions definitely ask. I think there's a matcha and a coffee version. I got the urban angel which is a pistachio matcha and my friend got the pistachio einspanner which is the coffee version. I really liked the foam top. It was sweet but not a dessert type of drink. They also sell baked goods. Wanted to try the matcha cheesecake but didn't see it today! Mainly street parking. Was busy on the weekend but got lucky with parking right in front.

    Food: recommend going earlier in the day. The two drinks we wanted to try were out of stock... the pistachio drink was quite good but a steep $9. So not really something I would get more than once every few weeks. Service: cashier was nice and drink came out quickly! Ambiance: small seating area that people like to sit at for a while. Gets kind of cramped, but solid if you get a seat.

    The pistachio Einspanner and black sesame Einspanner taste great and have a creamy, smooth texture that makes these drinks really exciting. The chocolate chip pecan cookie was just meh. Is it a little expensive? Sure. But it sure is a delicious treat. Service was quick and easy, and they took a lot of care to present the drinks well, sprinkling the tops with pistachio and black sesame. Space is a little tight indoors, so you'll be sitting really close to your neighbors. I'd definitely come back (occasionally) for the drinks and to try the other pastries/cakes.

    Evie H.

    Both the pistachio and black sesame einspanners are pretty delicious and I would definitely come to get those ($$$ though). The matcha latte tends to run on the more bitter side even if you sweeten it fully which I think is fine as long as you're aware. It took me by surprise the first time I tried it though. With Cere tea opening up nearby, I will be going there for my matcha lattes but good thing Goodthing (ha!) has a market for the coffee and einspanners! Not much seating indoors but there are a few tables on the back patio (right outside someone's apartment or office space it looks like) so more of a grab and go type of place.

    So glad we stumbled upon this cafe - a hidden gem worth checking out! Come early for their hokkaido cheesecake as they tend to sell out. It's rich, creamy with the right balance of sweetness and served in the cutest little dish. They also offer creative drinks like the pistachio einspanner and guihua oat latte. They both are uniquely crafted and delicious which stands out from other coffee spots.

    I had an appointment in the area, and decided to stop by on the way there. It was pretty busy at 10:30am on a Sunday, but the line went by quickly. I was torn between the Pistachio matcha or coffee and the cashier said it really just matcha or coffee preference for the day. I decided on the pistachio matcha with oat milk, which came out to be $9.80. Pretty pricey, but I knew I wanted to try it. And it was good! Not too sweet, and you can taste the matcha. I don't think I'd crave it, but it was worth a try. I'd love to come back and try the coffee version! It's pretty small inside, but there seems to be a good amount of seating and a small outdoor area in the back.

We came on a Saturday around 7pm and there was no line but the place was lively, we got lucky and didn't have to wait, probably because most people were still at dinner. Fork ordered: Tiramisu and a latte The latte was good. Nothing to get excited over, but well made. The tiramisu is a standout. It has this nice crunchy chocolate shell on the outside with a smooth, creamy center and just the right hint of coffee. As a tiramisu fiend, this is one I'd absolutely come back for. Spoon ordered: French flan I don't usually go for flan, but this one is different!!! I do absolutely love the custard layer in a fruit tart, so imagine that with a firmer texture and a richer vanilla flavor. It sits in this perfectly thin, almost hidden pie-like crust. It's honestly divine and highly recommended. Before we leave, we typically get a treat for the next morning to have with our chai. I love the banana bread and Fork goes for the croissant. Overall, such a charming spot for dessert and coffee, especially if you can grab a table outside.

I used to order their bagels and chocolate croissants regularly but when they say order ready by a specific time, do they mean the coffee only or the entire order? The coffee is always right on time but the food requires several reminders. Today, my order was supposed to be ready at 7am. The coffee was there but the burrito and chocolate croissant were not yet. I checked with the barista at pick up. She had tons of coffee to make. The barista told the cashier who passed by regarding the burrito but the cashier disregarded her and continued grinding beans for the fireman or whatever she was doing. I checked a second time at 7:04am with the barista. The barista went over to put the burritos a minute or two later and when the cashier was done grinding the beans, she went over to take it out of the warmer. The time I left the store was 7:08am. This happened the last 5x we ordered food there. I understand the mornings are busy but people pick up according to the mobile order ready time on the app . Being late once or twice is understandable but consistently late means there is a pattern. I should just stick with the coffee only with no food. I hate to bother the barista multiple times. Service needs to be better.
