AMAZING cheesecake & pistachio matcha. The urban angel was perfect sweetness if you sip without a straw (using a straw gets more matcha, which is unsweetened at the bottom). The cream top is so good and has a super strong pistachio flavor. Would highly recommend the cheesecake too -- it's super light and creamy at the same time because it has multiple layers. The texture is perfect and one slice is a great size for sharing. The space inside is pretty small and once it gets busy, it would be pretty hard to find seating inside or outside. Service was quick. read more

GoodThing is a cute coffee shop to try crafted cafe drinks. I love trying their specialty drinks - Pistachio Einspanner is my favorite. COFFEE: 8/10 SERVICE: 8/10 AMBIANCE: 9/10 COFFEE/MATCHA: 8/10 I can definitely see why their Pistachio Einspanner is one of their signature drinks. The pistachio cream was rich and flavorful without being too sweet, and the presentation was beautiful. My only reason for giving it an 8/10 is that the drink leaned a little more toward the creamy side than the espresso, but it was still enjoyable and something I'd recommend trying. I've tried their matcha and honestly thought it was great quality!! I noticed they sell Rocky Matcha, so I wonder if this is the matcha they use as well? If you are not a fan of just matcha and milk, I recommend you ask for a sweetener to add. SERVICE: 8/10 Service is pretty straightforward, and my order came out in a reasonable amount of time. Interactions with staff were pretty quick, but everything ran smoothly. AMBIANCE: 9/10 This coffee shop is minimal, clean, and aesthetically pleasing. It has a cozy modern vibe with thoughtful decor that makes it feel like a great place to slow down, catch up with friends, or enjoy a quiet morning. They also have a nice outdoor patio if you prefer sitting outside. Seating inside is limited. Overall, I'd definitely come back. While the drinks are a bit on the pricier side, the unique menu and inviting atmosphere make it a fun spot to visit, especially if you're looking to try something different from your usual coffee order. On my next visit, I will definitely need to try more of the desserts that they also sell. read more

I really like their hokkaido cheesecake but I find the drinks underwhelming, especially for the price. Urban Angel: Pistachio cream and matcha tasted good on their own, but when you mix them together, they magically cancel each other out and taste like nothing. Black Sesame Hojicha: Vlack sesame was very strong, could not taste the hojicha. Guihua Oat Latte with Matcha: Almost there but still underwhelming; couldn't taste the matcha too much as it was overpowered by the oat milk. Guihua taste was also pretty mellow. Cere tea has a better osmanthus matcha in my opinion. read more

1st time trying this unique cafe in Burlingame. Had a delicious Guihua Oat Latte (osmanthus tea syrup) which you can get hot or iced and with coffee or matcha. Contemporary interior with only some seating in the front, but they also have a back patio with more seating. Very clean bathroom which is always a plus. Good amount of metered parking nearby and around the corner. Would definitely stop by again to try more of their contemporary drinks. read more

Tried Goodthing Coffee and it was better than expected! I got the Urban Angel, and the pistachio cream topping was so good I honestly wish there had been more of it. The matcha was a bit lighter than I usually prefer, but still smooth and easy to sip alongside a cake. I initially thought the $12 tiramisu slice looked small, but it turned out to be pretty tasty and the perfect snack-sized treat that's just enough to satisfy without overdoing it. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when in the neighborhood, especially to explore more of their drinks and cakes! read more

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! read more

Really liked this cute cafe - it's located in the Downtown Burlingame area, so parking might be challenging, but there's a lot of public parking lots available with a short walk away. There's a limited number of seats inside, but they also have a small outdoor patio as well. Good place to hang out and chill if you're able to grab a seat. I ordered the Gui Hua Oat Latte, since that sounded pretty unique. There was other drinks that I was interested in trying like some of the matcha drinks, but I rarely see an osmanthus-inspired drink at coffee shops. It is made already with oat milk, so I didn't have to ask for any milk substitutions. I thought it was pretty good in terms of a latte, however, I wish the osmanthus flavor was a little stronger. The barista mentioned that the latte would have more of a floral taste, but it felt pretty faint. Cost was pretty similar to other coffee shops in the area, since it was $8-9 for my drink with oat milk already included. Other than that, would come back if I'm ever back in the area. I like the cozy vibes and fun drinks that they have! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I visited Goodthing Coffee on a Sunday (late) morning and found them fairly busy. This location is tiny - only a few tables of seating. They do have a small back patio, but it was wet from the rain. The interior was bright and clean, with paper lantern lamps and some funky wall decor pieces. The pastry selection wasn't super tempting for me, but the signature drinks sounded great. I chose the Black Sesame Einspanner, which was delicious - super strong sesame flavor, tasty sweet foam on top. I appreciate that they gave me a spoon for the thick topping. Pricing was a little steep, but I'd return to try the Pistachio Einspanner. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

They both are uniquely crafted and delicious which stands out from other coffee spots. read more

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. read more

Went here with my girlfriend at 2:30 pm. Lots of street parking around and it's in a downtown area so it's pretty walkable. It was pretty busy when we got inside but no line to order, just the inside tables were taken but there is outside seating. You place your order with the cashier. There are many specialty, seasonal, and regular coffees to choose from along with teas! We got the Dubai chocolate cookie, was a solid cookie and everything tasted well. We got the tiramisu cheesecake which was delicious and delectable. For the drink we got the pistachio einspanner which was so delicious I love the nut bits in every sip. The sesame einspanner was really good. Flavor wise, they nailed the drinks but for the espresso I feel like the flavor overpowers it more, would recommend if you like more flavor than espresso taste. The place is a very good place to study and chill, for a cute quick coffee date, and the vibe is really nice. Super chill and love that there's an outside seating! read more

I came here with a friend for our monthly matcha meet up. It was a Sunday afternoon so the farmer market was going on a few streets over. Luckily, the street parking was super easy right across the street. The place was already so packed!! They had ran out of some of the options I was interested in trying so I opted for the Guihua Oat Latte (ostmathus syrup) . It was super tasty, not too sweet AND it was still packing with caffeine because I was so jittery after finishing my whole drink. The only caveat was it was a little pricey? $9 for my drink but the quality was definitely there and tbh most coffee shops are about that price now. I loved that they had a patio in the back too! it was small but nice just to sit and catch up if it's just the two of you or even solo. Def not big enough for a large group. read more

Very clean and nice location. Staff were knowledgeable about their products. I ordered the Strawberry Fields Iced Matcha and it was delicious.

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. read more

Love this new matcha spot on Burlingame Ave! Burlingame was missing a good matcha spot so I'm super excited about Goodthing. I usually get the Matcha Latte with oat milk and that's always solid. I recently tried the Guihua Matcha Latte, where they add osmanthus syrup and dried tea leaves. If you like your matcha with a little floral kick, it's a good option. My only gripe is I wish there was more working space! They only have a few small tables insides, so i would not recommend working from here. read more

I'm always in search of unique coffee drinks in the Bay Area and today came across a small coffee shop in Burlingame. There are a few chairs and spots to sit but I would say this is mostly a to-go shop. What caught my eye was the Pistachio Eispanner. At almost $9 for a coffee drink, it certainly isn't cheap but decided to splurge a little today. The drink comes with housemade cream on top, organic milk, and a sprinkle of pistachio nuts. When mixed together the coffee is smooth and satisfying. The pistachio nuts add an extra texture to the drink. The coffee itself is sold. Of course, there are other drinks as well including the traditional lattes, espressos as well as wells as a variety of matcha drinks. Definitely worth trying if you are in the mood to splurge as well! read more

Amazing cozy coffee spot. We went on a sunday afternoon and it was packed, but if you go on a non-busy hour, it is a great cafe to work at! They have a back patio for overflow and it's great when the weather is nice out. They also work quickly and drinks get served in a timely manner. I got a pourover and it was made well. They have a great selection of beans to pick from for pourovers and I quite enjoyed mine. However, I think their star player is the Guihua Oatmilk Latte. It's such a fresh and innovative new drink that I've never seen elsewhere yet. It's super refreshing when iced and really delicious on a hot day. I love it and was really tempted to get another coffee for the day just to get that drink for myself. We also stayed and chatted on the back patio basically until they closed, and they were super nice about us staying there a little over. I think their matcha is not the best, but hey, this is a coffee shop, not a matcha place. Definitely get their coffee drinks. Will definitely come back to get the Guihua drink and maybe try some of the cakes. Please don't rotate this drink out! Love this place! read more

A friend and I stopped by this cute spot. The inside is cozy, and they have the cutest outdoor patio. The staff is helpful with any questions, but I will say a small part of me was confused with their contemporary menu as I wasn't sure which could be matcha or coffee. We went with the urban angel( matcha with pistachio cream). The service here is fast and they even add a cute little spoon on top. When we tried the matcha, I was having a hard time tasting the matcha. Wasn't sure if the pistachio flavor was overpowering or if the matcha just needed more. I tried sipping through the sipper lid, mixing it, etc. but nothing was making the matcha flavor come forward. Overall, maybe the coffee is more of their speciality so I'd come back to try that. read more

Stopped by this coffee shop after a workout class at Basecamp. The menu was simple but I still had no idea what to order. Asked the Barista and he asked the rest of the crew what they recommended. The pistachio Einspanner was the winner and was described as a dessert coffee. It came out relatively quick after ordering. The drink comes out without a lid which you can help yourself too at their self serve area and a spoon to enjoy the whipped topping. It was tasty but I don't know about you but I prefer to drink my coffee not eat it so a lid when on right after tasting it. The coffee itself was good and bold. Together it was a good mix. I'm usually not much of a fan of pieces of anything in my coffee but the pistachio pieces were just fine in this coffee. The space was cozy with areas to sit. Very white and blue aesthetic. Cute spot for some coffee will need to come back and try something else. read more

The Urban Angel is a pistachio cream matcha latte that found a great balance of nutty, roasted, and sweet flavors. The matcha latte portion isn't sweetened but the pistachio cream is and is a delicious combo. Do keep in mind these are Burlingame prices haha but would still come again!

Fancy coffee as a treat? Yes, please! And whatever this einspanner is, I wanna try it!! Pistachio is having its moment everywhere and the cheese foam on this is so drool worthy. An Einspänner is apparently a classic Viennese coffee drink, traditionally made with strong espresso topped with a generous layer of sweetened whipped cream -- for those of you who don't like things sweet, don't worry -- it's NOT SWEET! The pistachio cream is deliciously rich so you won't be disappointed. Also ordered the popular Urban Angel $9 which had a good matcha essence and again with the pistachio cheese foam. Lastly I could not resist trying the matcha yuzu cheesecake $12 -- again, not sweet, so don't worry! It's rich but not dense. We sat at the little table by the window on a quiet Thursday morning around 8:30am Service could have been friendlier, especially since we're paying premium prices for a very small drink. It doesn't hurt to even fake a smile... read more

I was debating between the hojicha noir (it has black sesame cream on top and those two as a combo = my all time favorite) and the guihua latte (sounds unique). I ended up getting the hojicha noir as per recommended by the staff. The black sesame cream was amazing. I loved that they gave the spoon so we can taste it and mix it ourself. It also made it look aesthetic, lol. The hojicha part wasn't that great though. It was missing the nutty flavor profile. I tasted more milk than the hojicha and I've had better hojicha latte in the Bay Area, so I can't say that the price was worth it. I'd be interested in trying their other options though. Also, the cup size feels smaller than other coffee I've gotten recently, so I'd definitely say it's more pricey than others. There was no price listed on the menu by the cashier but there's menu on the wall with pricing (they don't have all the drinks listed though). read more

Located in downtown Burlingame, parking here can be challenging. Once you walk inside, you get a cozy atmosphere; however there isn't much seating available so be aware of that.

The shop itself is relatively small, but definitely gives off a nice, cozy, modern feel. The barista recommended their guihua oat latte, and I went with his recommendation with half sweetness. I'm incredibly happy I went with this choice-I think I may have found my new flavored latte obsession!! I plan on coming back in the future! (After walking around and shopping with my drink in hand, even a lululemon associate suggested going back for their matcha and hojichas lattes!) read more
