    Special Holiday Drinks
    Manuel E.

    I came after my gym sesh and let me tell you these guys are now my go to coffee shop. I normally go to Deadeye in South City but this is waay closer to home, if's fast and convenient. They are about quality when it comes to ingredients, machinery and not to mention their service. Hope you guys get way busier. Well deserved . (If you like espresso, you're in for a treat)

    Dulce de leche latte, brown sugar latte

    My FAVORITE coffee shop on the peninsula I've tried. My boyfriend and I come here regularly ( multiple times a week) and the staff is always so kind and welcoming to us! It's such a warm and inviting space and I love that it's family run- I love supporting them. Have yet to try a latte we haven't liked. 10/10 recommend. Hoping they can find a way to open on Sundays soon!!

    I'm a first timer here. It's not far from home. It's at a perfect location. I love the ambience. Easy to find parking. Good variety of sandwiches, Panini, and breakfast burrito at an affordable price. I got the Fort Funston sandwich, and it was delicious, clean, simple, basic sandwich. It was a 10/10 for me. I wanna come back and try all the other sandwich. This will be my go to sandwich from now on.

    My favorite bay area cafe. All their coffees are so yummy and the staff are super nice. My girlfriend and I are regulars here.

    Biscoff Iced latte

    Sandwich's are bomb! Nothing like a sandwich, chips, a drink and vibes! The service is amazing, very attentive and courteous home vibe. Will definitely be coming here with my husband on our weekly lunch runs. I originally ordered the Olympic Club but since we did come during the lunch rush, I accidentally got my new favorite order the Chicken Avocado Pesto we didn't ask to get the Olympic Club made but they stood in business and have our respects! Thank you guys! Come over to this gem of a place and you won't be disappointed on price/value and service!

    Horchata Latte

    Was running errands nearby and came across this little cafe! Tried the Horchata Latte and it was yummy! Wish I would have gotten a bigger size because the small wasn't enough! The cashier also gave me some recommendations and they have new flavors on the menu!

    Always super satisfied when stopping by La Cafeteria ! Great service and always so welcoming . The ambiance feels great to sit and study, work etc feeling comfortable. The food is always super good , shoutout to the chef . Amazing matcha / coffee !! I definitely recommend you guys to stop by and give them a try .

    First time trying out this place, very clean and plenty of seating, loved the variety of drinks they had, tried the small Fresas con Crema latte and Avocado Toast. The owners were very quick and friendly as well.

    Beef chorizo burrito

    true hidden gem! This is a no-frills, affordable coffee shop and sandwich spot -- exactly the kind of neighborhood place that's becoming rare in the Bay Area these days. Great coffee, tasty sandwiches, and most importantly, neighborhood-friendly prices. Perfect for a quick breakfast, casual lunch, or afternoon pick-me-up without breaking the bank. Highly recommend if you're looking for something simple, local, and delicious.

    Chicha San Chen is the super hyped bubble tea shop from Taiwan that's apparently won a bunch of tea…read morerelated accolades that I won't pretend to be remotely familiar with. Their ordering system is entirely via two kiosks, which can be annoying if the customers ahead are slow, ordering a bunch of drinks, or both. They really should have a policy for cashiers handling smaller orders (2-3 drinks or less) and forcing kiosks only for larger groups. The estimated wait times vary pretty wildly, so take their posted estimates with a grain of salt. It stated 15-20 minutes when I was there, but it took about 25 (and we were just the 2nd group in line, though there were clearly tons of queued orders already with people standing around or sitting waiting). When we finally got our drinks, the Classic Ding Dong Oolong Milk Tea and the Milk Tea with Taro Balls and Taro Paste, I was expecting really prominent tea flavor like you get from the best milk teas in Taiwan and HK, especially given their hand-brewing process for each cup (which partly explains why wait times balloon). Sadly, I got very little tea flavor from either drink. That said, the fresh taro paste and taro balls were very tasty, with the balls having fantastic QQ chewiness. Prices are a bit much though, at almost $10 for that drink alone. I honestly think they could cut costs on gimmicks like the rope carriers (cute for influencers, but pretty useless and likely jacks up the price for regular customers). One silver lining from the long wait is that we spilled over into a free tea tasting slot. Miranda was fantastic as our guide as she was super friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. She walked us through how their Lishan Oolong Tea (sold separately, not used for in-store drinks) is harvested and sun-baked into 5 different varietals, each with unique colors, aromas, and tastes (and following the sun both literally and figuratively in terms of names and descriptors). Overall, it's a fun experience if you enjoy that sort of thing (and your wait happens aligns with a tasting slot or you can always a reserve ahead of time as well), so 5 stars for Miranda and the tasting, but the actual milk teas were lacking and a disappointment given the hype, cost and wait.

The drink took about 25-30 minutes to be prepared so don't come in a hurry!! I inserted the straw into the bottom of my cup and sucked. Nothing came out. I had to suck with more strength, due to the thick consistency of the drink. Finally, a gelatinous, slimy and sort of sweet substance came out of the tip of the straw. You do have to work for it due to the thickness of the drink, it's not liquidy. The actual matcha had a strong and smooth taste but to be honest was a little too concentrated which made it a bit astringent. This drink was truly a journey for the mouth. Usually a drink is about taste but this one was much more about tactility, or at least that's how it felt. Unfortunately the substance seemed to leave a strange metallic, unpleasant aftertaste that lasted for quite a while after finishing the drink. Texture: interesting taste:2.5 , it was new to me but i wouldn't have it again aftertaste : gross The next drink ordered was some sort of blue mango coconut concoction. Every menu item had a grandiose name so i'm not sure the exact one but it was a mango coconut slush. They white jelly substance was back and taking charge in the bottom of the drink. Along with the strange substance was a plethora of white tasteless balls. Not like traditional boba, but not bad. the flavor of the drink was good, a bit too coconuty for my liking but it was fine. The real problem was the radio of (balls + substance) : drink... way too high! i barley had any sips that had more drink then texture additives. The taste was good, but texture was off, and my stomach was not too happy after ingesting the whole thing in about 10 minutes.

    What a cute little cafe! Visited for the first time on a Friday morning, and it wasn't bustling as…read moreothers have noted (could be due to not being the weekend?), so I was helped right away. Located in a rather dense part of Daly City, but with a little effort, you can find a spot to park. NOTE: There are meters on Mission Street that only take quarters! You order at the counter, then take a seat. Nice variety on the menu, both breakfast and lunch items (eggy thangs & goodness between bread). A couple of Latin items. A small choice of baked goods and a self-serve water station. Ordered "The Scrambled" w/ ham and cheddar, potatoes... no choice on toast, just straight unbuttered wheat, so you'll need to request butter if you want some. Also got a large latte which was delicious! Everything was brought to me, which was nice. Only saw one staffer up front (they weren't busy), and she was super friendly and upbeat. Can't believe I haven't been here before, but I will be back as I'd like to try the Baleada, which is egg, bean, and cheese in a tortilla... simple, but looks tasty. Also, prices were very reasonable! Go, go, GO!

    Stumbled upon this neighborhood mom and pop cafe as I was finishing up some grocery shopping nearby…read morein the morning. You order and pay at the counter and they'll bring you your dish if you want to dine in. There is metered street parking at the front, but you can find residential parking on the side streets. The ambiance of the cafe was simple, warming and welcoming; a quiet and relaxing vibe. Service overall was great and dish came out decently fast. They cleaned up pretty quickly as well when a table was finished. I wanted something a bit light so I opted for: 1) American Omelette(6.5/10)(~$12) - A decent and light breakfast plate. The omelette was a thin egg omelette a bit of a departure from your usual diner fare. The ham wasn't diced either, it was just 1-2 deli sliced ham placed in between with your choice of cheese(provolone, cheddar or swiss). For sides, you can either get a salad or potatoes. I went with the potatoes and they were grilled really well and seasoned just right. It also came with a sliced wheat bread. It was an okay dish, but if you want something more filling, I would try something else. 2) Drip Coffee(Small)(7/10)($2.75) - Just your usual house coffee. Overall, taste was good without it being overly bitter. A adequate cup of coffee that will wake you up in the morning. Price was very reasonable as well. 3) Pupusas(5.5/10)($4.50) - I ordered a pupusa to go as I wanted to give it a try for lunch. It was an okay pupusa; I ordered the chorizo one....but couldn't really find it in the pupusa when I got home. Just refried beans. It was freshly made though since it took awhile to get it. The pupusas aren't on the menu in the cafe, but it is written on the board outside. It came with a bag of mild salsa and a bag veggies on the side. Overall, I've had better pupusas on the Mission and would skip this. A decent neighborhood spot to grab a quick bite if in the area!

They have hot and cold drinks as well as set me menus that include desserts. I ordered a hot Thai tea with their Thai coconut pancake with corn and their Thai crispy pancakes. The Thai crispy pancakes was very fragrant and the filling was wrapped in a sweet thin like taco shell. One pancake was actually pretty filling already. I feel kids will love this . There was something very florally about this pancake and I tried it ask them what it was but I think girl at the front had to ask their manager. The Thai coconut pancakes with corn js my favorite. I Love corn ! I loved how there was lot of corn in each of the pancakes. The coconut flavor was good and not too strong. My Thai tea was good as well, and surprisingly not too sweet.

Items on the menu were okay but maybe my standard is high from just being in Thailand lol. They could really hone in on the Thai experience (asam tea and kanom krok etc) to differentiate from the boba/matcha places. I like you can adjust the sweet level. Anyways okay place, would come back if they improved the area to chill/work and I'd be willing to try the other items! Please give fast wifi!!
