Señorita bread without blindly driving through the thiccc rice cooker steam aka fog?
It's easier for me to get to Ling Nam/Starbread in Daly City but where else can you get señorita bread AND a matcha latte in one place?!
Only at Hologram.
And, any business that names a menu item after "Frisco" has my support!
Opening earlier this month, Hologram is a new neighborhood cafe from the husband-wife team of Snowbird Coffee in Inner Sunset.
Fun fact: the co-owner is a filmmaker who grew up in Daly City and created a short film ("Cherry") about an R&B artist coming up in Daly City during the 90s.

* Manila Sky: Matcha Latte w/ ube foam ($7)
- Sub oat milk +$1
Beautiful marbled color but it tasted like iced milk with a sweet, earthy flavor from the ube. No matcha flavor at all so sadly, I tossed it.

* Señorita Bread (3 pc-$5)
Served hot, the buttery bread rolls had a crisp, sugary bottom with a super soft, airy hollow center. Like crack.
I forgot to ask if they bake it in-house or if it's from Ling Nam/Starbread.
* Frisco Shorty: Breakfast Burrito w/ eggs, bacon, tots, cheese ($13.50)
Delicious, savory mix of fluffy eggs, crispy bacon, melty cheese, crunchy tots, and creamy garlic aioli...all wrapped up in a slightly warmed tortilla (wish it was toasted more). Served with a side of cholula hot sauce (?).
I appreciate the smaller portion, it's easy to eat on the go without feeling weighed down after. That said, with other cafés charging around $10-$11 for something similar, the price here is steep for what you get.

Friendly and welcoming. If they're busy, anticipate a bit of a wait for your order.

Love the chill and moody retro vibes with pop art, merch corner, and plants. Not trendy just to be trendy. There's about eight tables inside and two tables outside.
Overall, Hologram is a great community space for those who live in the Central/Outer Richmond area. More of 3.5 stars but def worth checking out if you're in the area. read more
