iced latte - $5
Alexis M.

Visited HI NRG while I was in the area and had a great experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the cafe itself is super cute with a really cozy ambience. I ordered an iced latte and thought the coffee quality was excellent, though the drink size was a bit small. Overall, definitely a cute spot to check out if you're in the Richmond area!

Loved the vibes here and how spacious the interior is with high ceilings and a ton of natural lighting! I've been wanting to check out Hi NRG after seeing it being praised on a lot of top coffee shop in SF lists and came by close to closing time on a Saturday. Luckily since people were filing out we were able to order quickly and grabbed a seat for a bit. The menu is simple as they really let their beans speak for themselves. I opted for an oat cappuccino which was super smooth and well-balanced. The baristas are so nice as well and the overall experience was exceptional! I'll definitely need to find time to come on a weekday so I can enjoy the space for longer! Also, I didn't realize walking in that in the evenings, the space turns into High Treason which I've actually been to before for after dinner drinks.

| Friday March 13, 2026 | I love the name of the place so we decided to come and check it out; plus my bf needed coffee It's @hightreasonsf at night but @hinrg_sf by day! Biscuit by @vinegary_personality I got the cafe de olla cinnamon cappuccino for $6 and Steve got the pour over for $8. There was only like 2 people ahead of us luckily and grateful that they went over the options i.e background info and a sample despite the handful of people behind us. The baristas were hella chill and friendly. Walking distance from our spot but drove just in case there was a long line and luckily we're able to score a parking spot right out front! We got our drinks togo since I had a busy morning of emails but we were able to enjoy our drinks for a little bit and this yummy biscuit that was the last one while they prepared the pour over. The drinks only come in one size so I do wish they came bigger. It was cool that they had vinyl for sale which luckily for our piggy bank we didn't see anything.

10/10 amazing. This is your place if you don't like sugar drinks and instead let the coffee shine through for you. I have been coming since they opened this permanent pop-up. I find myself here everyday if not every week. I usually get an Americano as of late but my usual drink is a cortado, the batch coffee is also great. The owners are great as well and will help guide you to the right coffee.

I'm here for the vibes. The aesthetics are nice with music and high ceilings. The decor is pretty cool. I appreciate the thought that went into designing the art and what I mean by that are the wine crates posted against the wall. They're pretty nifty to look at. The coffee was standard, but not special. Overall, it was a chill experience and I recommend dropping in.

Sweet, moist deliciousness.

Happened upon this wonderful coffee place. Really wonderful fine coffees and amazing baked goods. They have limited daytime hours now but will hopefully move to their own space. The owner was welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful and must have a very refined palate to choose such smooth and tasty coffees.

Wine bar but cafe during day w/ live dj

Olla coffee: 5/5 smooth espresso, perfectly sweet just to wish it came with more Iced latte: 5/5 so smooooth perfect roast. I'm salivating rn Beautiful wine bar with open seating--even during cafe hours. the baristas are so fun to talk to and live DJ was sick. Had a great time here. Tip: come on a Sunday late morning early afternoon and walk through the Richmond farmers market. It's huge!

Americano and some Dak beans

THE best in the bay. Period. I could wax on and on truly, but it really is up to you. If you are truly a coffee connoisseur this is the place to go. No question.

Walking in San Francisco you are bound to run into a coffee shop. There is always an establishment with different types of coffees from all over the world. Whether it's the International Coffee Festival or the local mom and pops coffee shop it seems coffee brings people together throughout the day. One place which helps energize people during the day and brings a different vibe and different type of energy is HI NRG. Back on a San Francisco Summer stroll also known as early Autumn there is a place which has a unique vibe for a coffee shop in the area. Step in Hi NRG during the day ( High Treason in the evening)and it feels you are stepped into day club without the dancing and people are just vibing among themselves. You will see lots of wine bottles and wine crates along with turntables ,vinyl records , and art pieces on the wall. It feels like an art gallery opening .They have a minimalist coffee menu so I tried the Iced Cafe de Olla. It was strong coffee and it was tasty. I only wished they offered a bigger cup because after I drank it I thought I had a hole in my cup because it was gone after three sips. Overall a good place to enjoy a coffee or some wine. Come alone or come with your "tribe "which you feel the "vibe" which is kind of hard to "describe"they have a wine club via High Treason which on a month to month basis you can "subscribe" On Clement street you will see a HI NRG "sign " inside where they "combine " and "intertwine " both both offerings of coffee and " wine"

Cafe de Olla
Navila H.

They always have unique and tasty food options: today cheddar and chive scone and an almond cake The coffee menu remains the same, with my favorite being the cafe de olla: their only sweetened drink. It's not very sweet which is why I love it because I don't have to modify it to half sweet because it's already perfect. IF YOU'RE NOT A COFFEE ELITE, AND ADD HALF & HALF AND SUGAR TO YOUR COFFEE: DO NOT COME HERE. They serve serious coffee, with coffee being the flavor which I so enjoy. The also have some beans for sale in the space. I've never been to high treason at night and love the sunlights in the space. Luis and Nathan always provide the best of service. I've been following these cats since their days at the coffee movement and they've done such an amazing job with their business and clientele so far. Today I came in for a cupping experience and loved meeting other coffee nerds. 10/10 would bring everyone and their mamas here.

tried this little pop-up spot. coffee's pretty solid and the service was really friendly. nice lowkey stop if you're in the area.

You can tell they take their coffee very seriously here. I got an iced Cafe de Olla and the flavor was insane! It was $6. The cups are all quite flat and fat (less milk?) The music is VERY loud, so it's not too conducive to working. The interior is very cool though and beautiful! Super long line the whole morning and afternoon.

Pour over
Samuel P.

Coffee is so smooth. I'm someone who prefers a darker roast, but the sample provided by Louis gave a nice taste to both. Super friendly and was down to earth with all customers. Decent amount of seating with an open vibe. Will definitely be coming back if I want a smooth cup of coffee with down time Cheers

Every drink we ordered was honestly delicious, you can really tell they put care into the quality and flavor of each one. Their coffee is smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. The matcha was creamy, and not overly sweet. Definitely some of the better matches I've had in a while. The staff was also incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. Between the atmosphere, amazing drinks, and great service, this is definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to whenever I'm in the city!

We both loved our drinks, and I also appreciated the portion sizes--they were just right and really satisfying. I ordered the Velvet Matcha Cloud (a matcha latte with matcha cloud), and my sister got the Matcha Strawberry Cloud, which includes an organic matcha latte topped with house-made strawberry cloud and dried strawberries. Both drinks were beautifully made and tasted great. They also have a wide variety of drink options beyond matcha, including coffee classics like signature pour-overs and espressos, as well as tea and other hot drinks. Their food menu is just as extensive, offering pastries like crepes, croissants, scones, muffins, and even sandwich bites. I really loved the vibe inside Q! It's very aesthetic with a soft, creamy, almost cozy atmosphere. Since we went last Friday on an afternoon, it was quite busy with a mix of tech workers and college students working at tables, but the space still felt comfortable. The staff were kind and working hard despite how busy it was, which I appreciated. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking for good drinks, a pretty atmosphere, and a productive café environment.

Sometimes you cannot tell the difference from Spring to Summer weather in San Francisco. There is no consistency when the sun will come out. When the sun comes out and Karl the Fog is on vacation people come out and look for something delicious and cold. There is one place you can enjoy a refreshing drink like matcha no matter the weather. It's located on Market street and Noe and it's called Oishii Matcha. On a sunny Market street stroll in San Francisco Don Juan de la Matcha landed at Oishii Matcha. Inside I scrolled and ordered using the kiosk. Since it was hot with the sun was out in the city I got the purple yam the Ube ice cream not on a cone but on a croffle ( part flakey croissant and waffle in SF). The Ube ice cream was not too sweet and was tasty and the croffle was soft and a bit crispy. I then had to wash it down with a refreshing Matcha Mango Latte with foam. The matcha was delicious and hit the spot . Now the only thing to consider next time is which nearby park spot I should hit to enjoy a Matcha. Will it be Dolores Park or Duboce Park or Noe & Beaver Community Garden ?( Questions in my Mind). Come get the real matcha and not the "phony"go to Oishii Matcha because it is organic ceremonial "only" so let's have a tea "ceremony" with Don Juan de La Matcha giving the true matcha "testimony" Fake matcha should be "unlawful" it is tasteless and the flavor is very "awful " at Oishii Matcha you can get the purple Ube ice cream on a "croffle" it's a cross between a flakey croissant and a "waffle"

Just a quiet marble table, a tiny vase with two yellow flowers, and a slice of matcha crepe cake that makes you forget what you were stressed about. I came in on a weekday afternoon and ordered the matcha crepe cake and a passion fruit refresher. The cake is the kind that looks almost too precise to eat. Dozens of paper thin layers stacked with the kind of patience most people reserve for things that actually matter. The matcha flavor is real, not the green tea powder imposter you get everywhere else. The drinks are thoughtful too. Not sweet for the sake of being sweet. You can tell someone actually tasted these before putting them on the menu. The space itself earns its own mention. Marble counters, natural light pouring in from the street, good music at a volume that lets you actually have a conversation. It feels like someone designed it for the experience, not the Instagram photo, which ironically makes it very photogenic. 4.7 stars on Yelp with nearly 300 reviews and I understand every single one of them. If you are in the Inner Sunset and you pass this place without stopping, that is on you.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
