    Cream cheese muffin, lavender oat milk iced latte
    Jeanie N.

    Grossly overpriced items for the quality of food and drink here (I'm talking almost $20 for a muffin and a drink) I give points for spacious seating, clean bathroom, some okay pastries, and cute birds But surfaces are often sticky, the serve yourself water station could use a cleaning, and there are often flies inside the cafe and within the food display

    Dirty CHAI LATTE Veggie Falafel Wrap Bagel with Feta Pesto and Tomato
    Desiny C.

    As a resident of Ingleside, I've been to Java on Ocean quite a few times and have brought friends along on multiple occasions. I usually enjoy myself there. The ambience is great, bright, welcoming windows, plenty of seating, and lots of beautiful art and plants that make the space feel cozy and inviting. The food and drinks are good as well. My favorites are the veggie falafel and the feta tomato bagel. However, if you're on a budget, this may not be the best spot. The prices for both food and drinks are fairly high, which makes it hard to be a regular, especially for students like me and my friends. While the atmosphere and seating are nice, studying there can be a bit of a gamble if you need Wi-Fi. Even though there are plenty of outlets, which is a big plus, I personally haven't experienced reliable Wi-Fi during my visits. If you're looking for a dependable place to study or work, you may want to consider another location. Overall, Java on Ocean is a great local spot for a first visit or for meeting up and having a good conversation. That said, it doesn't feel like a place most people would return to regularly unless they live within walking distance.

    Came here just for a quick cup of coffee and chai. The drinks were okay nothing spectacular. The staff seemed stressed or in a bad mood. They have lots of seating inside and even birds in a cage! Which was so cool. My cappuccino wasn't the best quality coffee I've had and I didn't finish it. The chai was spicy gingery and good there was okay street parking

    Pastrami sandwich, beef salami sandwich

    Food is solid. Don't expect to be blown away or disappointed. Large variety of choices, especially with sandwiches. No pork on the menu. The atmosphere is great if looking for a place to study or catch up with friends. There are available outlets in the walls if you are looking to charge a device. Service is quick and the staff are nice.

    My family and I have been coming here for YEARS! It's a spacious cafe that has a great selection of breakfast, brunch, and lunch options. They have amazing drinks and smoothies as well. On top of it all, they have beautiful art and vibrant plants throughout their space. Definitely one of my go to spots to study in between classes.

    Cute coffee shop that has good lighting and plenty of tables and chairs for your studying, reading, and hanging out needs. Great selection of treats and pastries, and canned/bottled drinks in their fridges. Coffee a bit pricey but still yummy. Barista was very nice!

    Super spotty wifi but lots of seatings and food options! They have a forest-y theme going on with plants and green walls. The drinks are pretty mid; I got a White Chocolate Raspberry Oatmilk Mocha and it was too sweet/artificial tasting. It's also on the louder side in here so probably don't take meetings inside.

    I stumbled across Ballast Coffee while looking for a cute cafe to study at close to SFSU. 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 ordered uber latte. I must admit I'm not a latte drinker but when I tried their latte it was surprisingly delicious. I would order it again when I come back. As for the donuts, it's pricey ($5 each) but it was delicious and it was a dense donut. Went well with the latte and it actually satisfied my hunger for sweets. So if you're here in the neighborhood, give this place a try. I'm pretty sure you'll like it. Give it a shot :)

    The kind of place you just don't see anymore. A true one man show. Came on a Thursday morning for a…read morelate breakfast - you order up front with the only guy there and then you find a seat. Cash only or venmo. When it gets busy, the order can take a bit of time, but with this, patience is a virtue and really, it is just one guy and he's super nice. The spot is a small, cozy place for a nice small brunch with a few friends. FOOD: All crepes that I've tried here are pretty dang good. Each one with a side of a simple garden salad that helps lighten up your plate and a nice serving of potatoes that are your standard breakfast potatoes but done well. Crepe itself is light and crispy, each filled with a very solid amount of well thought out combination of fillings that are each cooked to perfection. Most recently I had the puttanesca, which was served with a side of sour cream. This combination of flavors with the cheese, mushrooms, and sour cream was an excellent way to start my day. I've also had the curry crepe as well which is also an interesting combination but overall delicious as well. A bit more depth of flavor with the curry. Overall, a super cute place to have a nice brunch. The owner is super kind and does a great job with this place. I will definitely be back - see you there.

    The restaurant setup is more self-service than we expected. You have to order at the counter, grab…read moreyour own utensils and drinks, and the only menu is posted on the wall, which is hard to read. It would really help if they had printed menus and clearer descriptions of what comes with each plate. Also, they only accept cash or Venmo, a sign outside letting customers know ahead of time would be helpful. The food itself was okay but pretty bland. The omelets and potatoes lacked seasoning, and the toast was just plain buttered bread. Overall, it felt basic for the price. Unfortunately, we probably won't be returning, as there are other better breakfast spots nearby that offer more value and flavor.
