Food
Jessica L.

All round not very good. Don't try the crumble cakes - very dry and hard. My drink was missing two ingredients - the honey and milk. The bacon egg potato burrito is really just 10 pieces of bacon bits in an egg potato burrito. Stomach started feeling weird after. Coffee was not bad at least.

New York crumb cake

Goody Cafe is such a great little spot tucked inside Building C, right by the parking lot. Super convenient location with restrooms in the same building and right next to the Museo Italo Americano. It's the kind of place you'll want to swing by to grab a quick bite or a hot drink, especially with the cool breeze coming in from the nearby coastline. It's also in the perfect area since there are often farmers markets and fun events going on in the back pavilions. The staff inside are incredibly friendly and quick, and the prices are totally fair. I really liked the decor too. Just wish there were a few more tables inside to make it feel a little more cozy, but that's just me being picky. Parking out front is paid by meter, but if you're up for a short walk, there are some free lots just outside the main area. Great stop for a warm-up and a chill break.

Eggplant sandwich, iced honey lavender latte
Mingshi H.

I was in the area because of a conference and decided to get coffee and lunch here. I got an iced honey lavender latte and their eggplant sandwich. The worker asked if whole milk was okay, and I asked if she had 2% because my stomach does better with 2%; unfortunately they didn't have 2% milk but she said she had nonfat and could mix the two of them if that was okay with me. I really appreciated how accommodating she was! It took some time to order and get my food and latte because she was the main person making the drinks and food, but it was a quick wait given that she was the only worker manning the place.

Iced Matcha Latte
Emily L.

Super convenient location, so I'm always inclined to get a drink here when in the area. I haven't tried the coffee, but their matcha is lacking. It does taste like matcha, but the milk ratio is off and overpowers it, but at least it's not clumpy? The price point isn't too bad either compared to the average prices in the same area. Would skip the matcha here and order something else.

Mexican mocha and dirty earl
Emily C.

Average coffee. Pretty small cup, and I wish there was more ice since it was lukewarm quickly. I would prefer bigger cup, more ice. Baristas were nice and helped answered my questions. The store was very cute and colorful. I got the small Mexican mocha ($4.75) with oat milk (+0.75), and my boyfriend got a small dirty earl. The Mexican mocha tastes like regular mocha with cinnamon, which was quite good. My boyfriend did not like the dirty earl at all, but it wasn't too bad, pretty much a slightly more bitter earl grey tea. I think the room temperature drinks threw us off a little. Overall, it was alright. If you like to try funky, unique flavors then definitely give it a try. They have lots of floral options, but I'm not a fan. Personally, I wouldn't go back.

The ham and egg " frittata " (quiche lorraine-style. Yum!

Strong but smooth, not bitter. You can tell they're using good quality powder. Service was fast and pretty easygoing. No wait when I went. If you're picky about matcha, this place does it right. I'll come back next time I'm in the area.

The color, magnificent honestly, the dango is good to try for the first time, but I wouldn't get again. As for the lattes, the mango one is pretty good, super mangoey and sweet, so just remember to stir it pretty well before sipping. Strawberry was pretty good, also pretty sweet. The earl grey was my fave, easy to control the sugar level and very fragrant. The earl grey and matcha does not over power each other which I really liked. The soft serve, is suuuper good. It's like a thick matcha icecream, and it's sweet but not too sweet. I would visit this place again if I'm in SF! Service is a bit slow but that's understandable because they're always busy.

I'd recommend getting a water bottle or bringing one with you to balance out the ice cream. There aren't many seats and the place is small but the location is right in the heart of Chinatown. Perfect place to grab a sweet treat and explore the area.

When I saw this familiar soft serve shop on Grant Avenue in Chinatown, it gave me pause since I was…read moreused to the original Japan Center location. Given the escalating political tensions between China and Japan, perhaps the owners felt a cup of soft serve sprinkled with matcha could serve as a wreath of peace between the two nations. Or maybe it's a slam dunk to know Asians can't live without their soft serve. I just know from similar ice cream shops in Chinatown that this represents a fresher suite of flavors than most. On my first visit here, I went for the $6.90 Boba Sundae, a matcha-vanilla twist with kuromitsu boba drizzled with a matching syrup (Photo 6). I liked it because it possessed the uniquely Maiko combo of sweet flavors. I went more generic on a follow-up visit and ordered the standard $6.40 Matcha Vanilla Soft Serve (Photo 5). Not as tantalizing but it did the job. Someday I'll get ambitious and order the latte float or cheese foam, but I'll see how peace negotiations go before committing. FOOD - 4 stars...uniquely Maiko but generic soft serve works, too AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...clean space but no place to sit SERVICE - 4 stars...attentive enough TOTAL - 4 stars...a refreshing sweet option in Chinatown RELATED - Exploring SF's Chinatown?

Today I thought I'd give J&J another chance. 8 months to read citicisms and get its act together. SERVICE: JOE & THE JUICE gained a bad reputation in the Bay Area pre-covid for flagrantly disregarding city law that prohibits retail businesses from going strictly cashless. For good reason: Refusing paper and coin currency is defacto segregation against Black and Brown folks and the working poor and those on a fixed income who are more likely to be restricted to cash transactions. This is an unjust policy, refusing to take "certain people's " money and in my book equals BAD SERVICE. FOOD & BEVERAGES: Upon my return to the large JOE & THE JUICE location in San Francisco's Financial District - which I used to frequent most days of the week for years before the boycott - I ordered my signature drink, Americano + extra shot of espresso with milk. Now although J&J is wildly overpriced compared to other espresso bars and snack joints, the Danish (J&J is a Denmark import and not locally owned, so maybe they don't understand how we do here in the USA) ownership refuses to provide the paying customer options between 1/2&1/2, Whole Milk, 4% Milk, etc. It carries only 2% milk which is just above lightly flavored water. I always have 1/2&1/2 with my cofffee but not at J&J, despite the high prices customers pay. I used to stock this location myself with 1/2&1/2 out of my own pocket from the Walgreens across the street, which a customer shouldn't have to do. BEVERAGES: Well my Americano, honestly, was awful. Tasted like dirty dish water. Old stale coffee bean flavor only slightly diluted luke warm water. BAD PRODUCT. SERVICE: It appears JOE & THE JUICE ownership and management are back to their old tricks again refusing cash payment. I told the manager it's city law thay accept cash payment - payment equality - and he conceded he knew this is the law. I was given the excuse the cash register just happened to be broken and they were waiting repairs, but trust me as one who knows J&J very well this is just BS: they're told to tell customers or city inspectors this and cynically keep going on with their segregationist policy. BAD. BAD. BAD SERIVICE!
