    Just opened in June, this spacious split-level cafe has a familiar Asian aesthetic informing its design. Subsequently, I discovered the concept was developed by Jiyeon Choi, who co-owns Sweet Maple and Kitchen Story. Where was the Millionaire's Bacon? Well, it's not a restaurant. The menu consists of matcha and coffee selections and fresh-baked scones. That's it. Getting off the L-Taraval MUNI train at 19th, I didn't have a grand plan to come here. I just happened upon the corner location at 21st. Even though it had been open for just two months, I could tell it was attracting regulars with either laptops or baby strollers. People were staying put in their spots, and vacant seats were rare on a Tuesday afternoon. When I walked through the Taraval entrance, I was momentarily confused because I had to walk up a flight of stairs to find the order counter. The menu listed out iced and hot latte options. I decided to order the $7.50 Iced Vanilla Bean Latte. When I noticed scones on their back counter, I impetuously ordered the $6.50 Scone with Homemade Raspberry Jam & Irish Butter (Photo 10). The server conscientiously fetched a scone from the oven and placed it in a small box. I managed to find an open seat downstairs. The scone was meltably tasty, easy to devour, and the cold latte provided the right balm. Definitely a worthy stop in the Outer Sunset. FOOD / COFFEE - 4 stars...a limited menu but a good one AMBIANCE - 4 stars...spacious and popular SERVICE - 4.5 stars...thoughtful staff TOTAL - 4 stars...nice neighborhood option for a well executed snack CORRESPONDING REVIEWS Sweet Maple: https://yelp.to/YzCLl2FWO7 Kitchen Story: https://yelp.to/pp8eedf2iD RELATED - Exploring the Sunset?

    This South Korean inspired cafe is the perfect place for an afternoon pick-me-up! I stopped in at around 1pm on a Saturday for a quick drink with a friend. The interior design is so pretty and clean. It is really reminiscent of cafes in Korea! You order upstairs and there is a ton of seating on the lower level for you to sit and yap with friends or get some work done! My friend and I both got iced Hojicha lattes with oat milk, totaling a little over $18 with tip for the two! It was hearty and a little savory, super tasty! The drinks were gone in less than 15 minutes, LOL. The staff was also super friendly and they made our drinks quick! I wish this cafe were closer to where I live because I'd be there all the time!

    Triple hojicha was okay. Seating area is super bright and nice. If you want a less bright area, there's also the upper section. Park in residential streets. Glad to see a large space on taraval where people can enjoy. The main entrance is on the 21st side rather than Taraval. Order the triple Hojicha with less ice. Received the drink pretty quickly. Unfortunately, the drink had some flavor, but was grainy and not worth the $8.47 (drink + tax) price tag.

    When it comes to matcha it is an international thing serve in many varieties in SF. You will find matcha ice cream and also matcha smoothies and also matcha on croissants which are flakey like some in SF. You will also find matcha at different shops like boba spots to sushi spots. There is a place which is a South Korean inspired cafe located in the Sunset strip of San Francisco serving a variety of matcha. It's on Taraval and it's called Jandii. On a Sunset Strip stroll through the streets of Taraval in SF I landed at Jandii. Inside it was spacious with some seating. I ordered the iced platinum ceremonial grade matcha for Don Juan de la Matcha. It was smooth and had good flavor. I then paired it with the a berry jam scone. The scone was a bit flakey but it was delicious. Jandii is a good cafe to enjoy some matcha and a good space to do some reading , work , or just yap on the Sunset Strip of San Francisco. Go on a coffee run to a place that is "poppin"the place where you can do a pit stop and just "drop in"before you go to Stonestown and do some "shopping"and it's located a few blocks on Taraval from the park called" McCoppin" Because mediocre flavor type of matcha I do not "condone" I do enjoy matcha in a cup or in a "cone" and a triple matcha at Jandii pairs well with some jam on a "scone" on Taraval street at the Sunset Strip in the San Francisco "zone"

    Scone with fresh blackberry jam.  (Inside was packed with people on a weekday afternoon)
    Vivian Y.

    Came on a weekday afternoon to try the scone. I was really interested in the blueberry jam but they only had their signature fresh blackberry and raspberry jams so I went with the blackberry. To be honest, it could have been better. The scone had a crispy exterior and soft interior but the interior was definitely dry. Of course, the butter and jam helped but a good scone shouldn't be dry. The blackberry jam was not my favorite despite liking blackberry but it was definitely fresh. I'd give it a 3-3.5/5 as in it was decent but I wouldn't order it again. Rounded up to a 4 because staff were really nice and the place was bright with lots of sun and very clean and well kept. It was hard to find a seat since so many people were there working on their laptops for an extended time. In the 45 minutes I was there, not many tables opened up.

    signature oat milk brew
    Isabelle V.

    Overall impression: Fantastic place to lock in and get some good work done with a pretty solid, sweet coffee at your side. Nestled in the cozy Noriega neighborhood, just down the street from House of Pancakes and Happy Family Gourmet, Jandii is a wonderful addition to draw in a younger crowd to the area. Its unique layout and spacious seating offerings both on the ground level and in the cute top floor overlooking the ground, and ample outlets makes it the perfect place to work for a prolonged period of catch up with a friend. Drink wise, I've only tried the signature oat cold brew which is great, though QUITE sweet and very oat forward as intended. Would appreciate a little less sweetness and maybe more coffee, but I have enjoyed it both times. Only feedback I have is that the music was a bit loud the second time I went, and I would've preferred a nice coffee shop jazz. I felt a bit disrupted by the music and had to wear noise cancelling headphones with some softer music instead.

    Order: Triple Matcha Latte: this is how matcha should taste and look. creamy, strong and not watered down. It comes lightly sweet which works well to my flavor profile. Interior follows the trend of a spacious workspaces with natural light to brighten the area, music is played and tables available for computer work or catching up with friends. The ordering is on the main level: downstairs has larger seated spaces and a small quieter area upstairs. There is one line but they separate it into different sections (green line on the ground). 1 bathroom is located near the line for ordering. Entrance is on 21st Ave part way up the hill.

    This one was a miss for me, unfortunately. I came for the matcha and found it way too sweet for my taste. There also wasn't an option to adjust the sweetness when I ordered, which was disappointing because I would have preferred to taste more of the actual matcha. I did really like the space, though. It's much bigger than I expected and there are lots of tables and seating, so it's a nice place to work, hang out or spend some time with a drink. The overall setup is comfortable and spacious, especially compared to some of the smaller matcha cafes around the city. I just wish I enjoyed the matcha more because the space itself is really nice. If they offered different sweetness levels, I'd be much more inclined to give it another try.

    Cute branding
    Tasha H.

    I stopped by around noon on Saturday and surprisingly there was nobody in line. The staff was very friendly and helpful in helping me decide on a drink. I was surprised by how big the space is - there's one area of big communal seating and another area better for solo or small groups where lots of people were working on their laptops. I had the raspberry Matcha latte which was lovely and not too sweet. They said the raspberry jam is homemade, and they give you a good amount of it. Once I mixed everything, the sweetness was perfect for me and the drink tasted very creamy. The raspberry flavor is also not so commonly seen on menu so I appreciated it!

    Awesome addition to this neighborhood with plenty of space sprawled out across two floors. The staff is friendly and had good recommendations. They were also very welcoming of our dog. The Hojicha drink was perfect. I didn't try the matcha, so I can't comment on it, but the real star of the show was the scone with butter and blackberry jam. We couldn't get enough of it. It is very addictive!

    Blueberry Jam Butter Scone
    Amy T.

    The staff are friendly both times I've been here. The space is really interested, the building is located on a corner at the bottom of the hill and they've taken advantage to create a downstairs space for a work and chill area with tables and chairs and upstairs is where they take and make your orders. Matcha Einspanner 3.5/5 - nothing special here. Mid tier matcha for me. I also could've skipped the cream top and do a regular matcha latte. Hojicha Latte 4.5/5 - Actually quite smooth and nice. I had a hojicha era but recently haven't gotten back to it because it is quite earthy but this was clean and actually reminds me of the black matcha at Constance. Blueberry Jam Scone 4.5/5 - such a comfort to eat while warm! I love the small butter slab, reminds me of the butter they stick into butter pineapple bun. I love the thin shell and soft interior but it is a tad too buttery, it gets a little heavy near the end. Both drinks are not too sweet at the default level and I normally ask for 0-25% sweetness at other places and thought their default here was fine.

    This cafe is probably in my top three now! I came here twice in a row, Sunday and Thursday, and honestly had to come back again for another scone and Einspanner This cafe is on everything! The staff is super nice and friendly, the interior is so pretty and cute, and most importantly, the drinks and scones are top notch! It's also such a great spot for remote workers. I love the setup and how comfortable it is! Whoever designed this cafe, please open more locations throughout SF, especially in the FiDi area, and on the East Coast too! I absolutely loved the Einspanner. I tried the Hojicha one on Sunday and the Matcha one today, and omg both were SO good! Not too sweet and perfectly balanced. You definitely have to try it with a scone too because they bake them fresh every 15 minutes! On the weekend, there was a line, but it moved pretty quickly, so it was totally worth the wait. I saw some reviews saying the WiFi was weak, but it worked completely fine for me! No issues at all. I'll definitely be coming back again and again!

    Triple matcha and scone w/blackberry jam+Irish butter
    Ree T.

    Beautiful space with plenty of seating for both work and socializing. I think my only complaint would be that the wifi is weak - goes in and out. Their matcha is customizable in terms of sweetness/milk type - I got my less sweet and it really let the matcha flavor come through. It's more on the earthy and bitter side. Their scones are a must! The perfect texture with the outside being crumbly, but the inside feeling soft and fluffy. They also come warmed and with jam+Irish butter, that give it a subtle, but good flavor - you could honestly eat this dry tho! Will be coming back with my friends when they come visit.

My friends and I came from Texas and were recommended to try this location at Stonestown. I actually tried it when I visited SF back in 2024, so I was excited to come back again after two years. Unfortunately, I feel like the quality has gone down a little. The matcha was really astringent and didn't taste that good this time, and the banana flavor tasted very artificial. The service was definitely the best part though. The guy working there was really nice, and the Asian girl with red hair was super friendly and helpful. She explained the different lattes to us and recommended the black sesame latte, which was actually really good very nutty and not too sweet. She also gave us FIVE ice cream samples, like yo my friends were still downstairs and I just asked if they could try some too, and she happily gave us a bunch to bring to them. Such nice service! Overall: ambience 3/5, food/drinks 2/5, but service 5/5. The staff really saved the experience for us.
