    Banana bread latte
    Sandy L.

    3.5 stars * Kamari Coffee is tucked inside the Wells Fargo building in FiDi and has such a good vibe going for it. The employees are super friendly and the space feels like a welcome addition to the area. Smaller cup sizes mean the coffee comes through stronger. The brown butter latte (the BBL) and banana bread latte are sweet and strong which I like . That said, they're still getting their footing operationally. both times I visited, something got mixed up with my order. Totally forgivable for a newer spot, just something to keep in mind. It's a solid coffee option for the area or to check out

    My coworkers have raved about this place when they tried it for the first time recently and I REALLY wanted to try it out. My coworkers and bestie were telling me about the banana bread latte they have and I'm like.. say less. Kamari has taken over where the old Starbucks used to be. However they did block the front entrance and you have to go through the building to enter, which helps with the line. It is a smaller space with only 1 cashier and a larger coffee/espresso machine. Wait times can vary depending on how busy it is. I usually go when I'm in office (around 7:45-8am) and there's usually a couple people in line or no line at all. The space itself is decorated beautifully and modern. There are couches and lounge chairs, or high tables to have your drink or pastry at. The things I've tried so far are: -Iced Banana Bread Latte with Oatmilk (~$9-10) +$1.50 extra for milk alternatives -Iced Brown Butter Latte (~$7-8) Review of each item: -Iced Banana Bread Latte: HOLY CRAP THIS IS SO GOOD. It literally tastes like banana bread in a drink. It does not taste artificial at all and I looooove how beautiful the drink is. It has a ton of cinnamon, a cloud foam on top, and omg it's so good. It is a thicker drink because of the foam they give you, but it's so delicious and it made my day. The caffeine is smooth but packs a punch. -Iced Brown Butter Latte: this was delicious!! You definitely get a nice nutty taste from the brown butter and the caffeine wakes you up. It's so smooth without being overly sweet, and I really enjoyed it. Highly recommend checking out Kamari! They have an extensive menu of specialty drinks, regular coffee and espresso options, and pastries you can try! The space is smaller, so I wouldn't recommend larger parties here since seating is limited. I hope Kamari thrives because this place deserves it.

    Banana Bread Latte (iced)

    Visited this new coffeeshop this week. Enjoyed my first cup that I went back the next day to try another offering. They've been open since February but I only discovered this week. It occupies the former Starbucks at 333 Market St. The entrance is blocked off by shades so this spot seems hidden from regular foot traffic; hence, not being completely visible from the street. I, by chance, saw a little sign inside of the main lobby of the 333 Market office building as I walk by exiting the Embarcadero BART station. Entrance to the coffeeshop is inside the main lobby of the building. Such a beautiful space which also includes a massage chair. The Iced Banana Bread Latte is their popular item according to the cashier so I opted for that. It was delicious but a little too rich for me. The Iced Valencia Sunrise is delicious too. These two coffee drinks are so indulgent that it feels like I'm having liquid desert but not overly sweet. I'll be back to try their other offering but at the price point of their drinks, this is not the place to visit on a daily basis for their specialty coffees 06.03.2026 Iced Banana Bread Latte with Almond milk, 16oz. was $9.50 with tax. 06.04.2026 iced Valencia Sunrise, 12oz. was $7.88 with tax

    Pandan latte

    Cute lil coffee shop, right next to the Embarcadero Bart station. I tried their Pandan latte with a shot of espresso and it was solid. It had a slight Pandan flavor. Their drinks are a bit pricey.

    I was told this is still a pop up and hoping to have permanent residence here -- I totally agree! Firstly, the staff was very attentive and nice to chat with. Secondly, the drink options were very fun and unique. Thirdly, cute space (a little small and minimal seating fyi). I noticed some people in the reviews comment on the sweetness, and I will say, as a certified sweet-tooth...it's pretty sweet. But that's great for me! I wanted the fun drink w a biscuit on top but a fatass cinnamon roll is cool too!

    Thank goodness for Yelp because I would not have known about this coffee shop! This is in the old Starbucks (which I have boycotted) hence why I never noticed Kamari taking over the location. But they have been opened since (I think) February and I can't believe it took so long for a Yelp page! Anyway, if you've read so far already, please stop by here and try any of their drinks. I got the pandan latte which is caffeine free-nice because I'm pretty sensitive to caffeine and can only have it in the morning. So tasty and NOT TOO SWEET. Omg as someone who needs to watch their sugar intake, this was so refreshing as some "special" drinks can be more like a dessert! I also tried the banana bread latte - delicious if you're a cinnamon fan! Mango sticky rice - this one IS like a dessert, so so good with real mango. All the staff here was so nice and welcoming! And I love the new interior, it looks trendy and clean. Definitely coming back soon.

    mango sticky rice matcha
    Angelina L.

    i got the mango sticky rice matcha here! one of the most unique matchas i've ever -- it's topped with a dried mango slice & comes with bits of rice at the bottom. loved how smooth & high-quality the matcha flavor was, and i didn't expect to enjoy the extra texture the rice provided! my only note was that i wish there was a slightly stronger matcha flavor (perhaps additional mango syrup?) however, this is still a very well-executed & creative matcha latte!

    I'm hoping this place reopens. I've only had the mango sticky rice matcha...several times...and I dream about it. So tasty with the right amount of mango flavoring in the matcha.

    SO YUM!! I came in and I was like why aren't u guys on yelp yet, I didn't think this was real and BOOM next day! So ofc I had to leave a review. I enjoyed the drinks a lot, coffee was a little sweet, but I'm excited to go back and try their matcha. The pandan was so strong and had nice coconutty flavor. They were very welcoming and the space was quite aesthetic. I think they have great potential for being a top cafe in the city!

    Cozy, upscale cafe located in the vibrant Russian Hill neighborhood…read more I went on a Monday afternoon and there was a great crowd there. Lively customers and staff, good vibes! There was a lot of natural light in the coffee shop, definitely a visually-appealing, 'aesthetic' place. I got an iced red tea and it was delicious. The tea was botanical, smooth and fragrant. Amazing experience! Excited to come back and try the coffee and pastries, which looked super fresh.

It seems like there's also an upstairs but did not get the chance to check it out. I got an iced latte with their almond macadamia milk, and they're also so nice to do complimentary cold brew! So we got an extra drink for free. Trying the iced latte, it was pretty disappointing lol. I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.

The workers were very nice and brought the food to you, and the overall interior was really cute, but packed. The ginger matcha was very unique, and tasted like Taho (Asian tofu dessert with ginger syrup), and was super creamy and yummy. The sandos were AMAZING! We shared the chicken katsu sando and the tamago sando, both came with 3 pieces and were very well worth the price. The chicken one was so saucy and crunchy and the egg one was also good.

After I ordered, I took a seat in the waiting area by the Togo window to wait for my order. There was plenty of tables for dining in, but they were filled so I grabbed my order to eat outside. There was a little area in the front of the store for you to eat at. Stonemill matcha has been on my radar for a long time now and I'm happy to say I was not disappointed. I ordered the matchazuke 4.5/5 and the matcha latte 4/5 and they were both delicious. The matchazuke was perfectly savory, each bite packed full of umami. The piece of salmon was seasoned nicely, not too salty and paired perfectly with the matcha. The matcha broth was so comforting, you could taste the bonito dashi they used to make it. I was worried the portion would be too small but it was pretty filling! The matcha latte had a beautiful deep green color and was creamy and not too sweet. I did noticed that it was a little grainy, which was the only thing I didnt like about this experience. My partner ordered a hojicha latte and said it was a 5/5 and it's her new favorite place to get hojicha latte in SF. I would definitely come back and try more of their menu. I'm eyeing that matcha silk pie!
