    Being a campus type of business that caters to mainly college students, the boba was decent. Not the best but not the worst. I like how transparent they are when it comes to how many grams of matcha is used per drink. Lots of seating and parking can be hit or miss. service was really great and interior settings was dark but pleasant.

    Cute little coffee shop with really yummy drinks! The interior is really cute as well! Seems like a good place to do work or study.

    The cutest shop in a little strip mall serving up the best hand whisked banana matcha lattes. You have to check it out. Such chill service. Seating inside but none outside!

    Parking: Medium size plaza decent amount of spots. Lot was packed but there's also street parking. Interior: Limited seating for medium size groups unless you combine all the tables. Not too buys. Clean and nice ambiance. Good study spot. Wait Time: 5-10min for drinks. None to order. Items Order: 10/10 Black Sesame Coffee $6.75 - black sesame flavor was strong and on point! coffee was also strong and sweet and creamy. WOULD REC 6/10 Strawberry Matcha $7.5 - very mid overall with the matcha and strawberry compote. would not recommend the matcha here

    A cute little cafe located right next to SFSU that has both coffee and matcha for everyone. I've tried them through DoorDash and going in person and I can say their drink quality stays the same for both. Unfortunately, the last time I went I felt like the matcha taste was too strong for my liking but my wife loves their drinks. Drinks come out fast and the baristas are super nice. If I need a quick pick me up this place would definitely be up for consideration

    Was looking for Vietnamese inspired coffee like Da Vien in SoCal and stumbled across Jade and Java. What drew me was the banana and sesame Vietnamese coffee, which isn't something sold at most coffee and boba shops in the peninsula. Ordered the pistachio and sesame Vietnamese coffee. The coffee is strong! Can customize ice and sweetness levels too. Parking can be a bit tight as the lot is shared among many other shops and it's in the middle of Park Merced so can be a bit difficult to find. Ordering was a breeze and if you have Snackpass, you can earn rewards by continuing to shop there. At 7-7.50 a drink, it's about in line with other boba/drinks now so I think it's good value. Especially bc the coffee is strong! Will come back to try other coffees and their matcha drinks too. Matcha drinks look to be handmade upon ordering (not mass produced ahead of time, which is nice to see)

    I've tried their drinks multiple times, but it's my first time visiting their actual location. I really really love their matcha here. The ratio of matcha to the other ingredients is perfectly curated to my taste. It doesn't taste like grass LOL. The banana cream matcha is mt favorite. Nothing too special with the ambiance inside. Overall, this is one of my go-to matcha spots.

    Cute little cafe with a kiosk self ordering system First time coming to try them out and both my friend and I ordered the banana latte and another drink. The banana latte was absolutely AMAZING. I'm sure they use real bananas when making the milk that goes into it. It was delicious and worth a second trip! I ordered the cocomango (I think that's what it was called) and brought it home to enjoy later. Of course... amazing as well I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area to come visit.

    Very cute little coffee shop near the SFSU campus, and open late, until 7 PM! They specialize in Vietnamese coffee and matcha drinks with unique cream toppings, and also have some fruit tea options. You order at one of two kiosks in the front. There are small tables and a bench for seating, and a bathroom in the back. I could see this being a nice place to catch up with friends over drinks! I got a banana cream matcha with oat milk ($0.80) and an extra shot of matcha ($3). Everyone else got Vietnamese coffee and between all of us we tried the salted cream, banana cream, and black sesame cream coffees. I loved my matcha and the banana cream had such strong banana flavor. I'm not sure if I would've liked it as much without the additional shot of matcha, but I'll have to try it next time. I also thought it was a pretty reasonable price for a matcha latte, starting at $7.25 - some places are getting up to $10+. I'm not a coffee person, but heard that the coffees were strong and flavorful. Seems like a really nice addition to the area, especially for students. Would be even better if they could partner with a local bakery to offer some pastries, and a few more non-caffeinated options since there's only one on the current menu.

    Cute decor at ordering counter

    Ordered a matcha with a banana cream topping. It was pretty tasty - I haven't had too many like this so I don't have a ton of comparisons, but I would come back for another. Service was friendly and they have a nice clean bathroom. Located in a strip mall close to SFSU so lots of parking.

    sea salt coffee and creme brulee matcha
    Erica C.

    I really enjoyed their sea salt Vietnamese coffee (ca phe muoi). I have been looking for this since coming back from my Vietnam trip. It's easily found in Orange County; less of a common offering in SF Bay Area, so I was happy to see that this place had it. I got one with less ice and regular sweetness, which I thought was too sweet but was better after the ice melted a bit. I also got one no ice and less sweet and I added some milk when I got home to thin out the strong coffee a bit. However, this sacrifices on the salted flavor. I think my ideal would be regular sweet and regular ice as intended. We also tried their creme brulee matcha which was fine. Not a super strong matcha flavor and leaned more watery than creamy. It would appease if you had a craving for a matcha latte though. Could not really make out the creme brulee flavor so I would maybe just do a regular matcha latte or another one of their flavored matcha drinks. This is located near SF state. There is a parking lot available. Somewhat limited seating, but I'm not sure how busy they get.

    Such a cute cafe along the string of other stores in a plaza! I ordered the Banana Matcha Latte which was delish! I'm glad that there were actual banana chunks in the drink which gave the drink a nice additional texture. The foam of the latte was also perfectly frothed. Service was quick and the store was clean. Will definitely be back to try their other drinks!

    I've been here twice within the span of a week! I love how Jade & Java is a straightforward cafe that delivers on their drinks while also having a cute, unique aesthetic. I ordered the black sesame matcha both times I went...the black sesame cream top is just too delicious! It does make the drink more creamy for those who prefer something less of that. I took a sip of their vietnamese coffee and that tastes great as well, I would definitely order that in the future. Service was friendly and fast. I really like the car/minimal decor they have going on in there with the natural lightning and plants. It's located in a plaza so there's convenient parking available.

Ballast…read moreCoffee was the perfect place to go to because it is less than 10 minutes away and has a lot of street parking available (which is rare in SF lol). Like everywhere else in SF, you have to pay for street parking but it's free after 6pm! The vibes inside are of a typical coffee shop and there is a good amount of tables and seats! The barista makes each drink one at a time, so it could take a while to order and get your drinks, but it just shows that they are very intentional with their drinks! I was super excited to find out that Ballast Coffee is actually a Filipino coffee shop that serves Barako Coffee, which I believe they source from the Philippines. They also sell barako bean roast blends for $20 in case you wanted to make it at home! Since they use Filipino barako beans, I had to order their Ube iced latte and Ube hot chocolate! The coffee had a slightly fruity yet chocolatey undertone that made it really delicious with the Ube! I do think that the coffee had a lighter taste to it, so it let the ube taste stand out more. My favorite was the Ube hot chocolate because it was super decadent and warming! I'll definitely be back at Ballast Coffee to study more and to also try their Ube Mocha as well as other drinks!

I've introduced so many friends to the hojicha einspanner and everyone loves it too! Even though Diamond has multiple locations, this is the only one that serves hojicha. I hope the other locations will add hojicha to their menus too. But what stands out the most to me is the einspanner. It's unbelievably yummy; it's thick, fluffy, and tastes like marshmallows! I could honestly eat a whole bucket of it! The hojicha itself is a little on the lighter side, but it still has a delicious nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the einspanner. Once it's all mixed together, the balance of nuttiness and sweetness is perfect. The space is super cute and has a cozy camping theme. Most of the seating consists of camping chairs and tables that really tie into the aesthetic, so there are only a few tables that are ideal for studying or getting work done. It's definitely a fun spot to hang out and catch up with friends. I also love all the little tributes to the owners' dog, Diamond. You'll find little touches of Diamond everywhere--from the napkins and cup holders to the free stickers. I highly recommend stopping by and trying the hojicha eispanner.
