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 amazing food part is mostly because of places like Sōhn and Neighbor Bakehouse. First of all, Sōhn's space is very aesthetically pleasing with so much open space with strong industrial-minimalist elements. Food just made it better. I got their very popular Galbi patty melt and because it was so good, I got another one to go for my husband. And a cup of hot tea. Wow! The Galbi patty melt was so juicy and delicious. I definitely get why they are so popular. The service was friendly as well. When I came in, the staff was friendly and asked if I was eating in or take out and directed me inside. It was very busy with a lot of people, so i opted to sit downstairs in the bar area. Enjoyed my patty melt and people watching. Located on 3rd St and 22nd St.

Brief Summary: - Located in Dogpatch…read more- Close to a MUNI stop - Impressive interior that is comfortable and relaxing -- so many seats yet they're so full - Suggested to enter early because the known pastries sell out fast - Quiet ambience with mild to quiet chatter Sohn is a memorably good place to relax with my friend on a weekend afternoon. It was perfect for the slow, introverted energy duo. We arrived later than estimated but that is alright for the weekend meetup, so we have noticed that most of the pastries or food that we saw on yelp photos were sold out. However, they still offered the sandwich on a crispy pastry. (I chose the meat patty). It was also very popular, so there was a 15 minute line from the door. When it was our turn, the staff asked if we prefer to sit on the lounge, and to be frank, that was the spot I wanted to sit. When I saw browsing through the photos and saw the lounge space, I thought, wow, I would like to be there, so in a way, my little dream came true. When we arrived in the lounge, there were three guests sitting but near finished. In a few moments they left, so this corner was --for a good long while -- a spot to ourselves. This area had 2 couches, one large table, a small one, and 2 more comfy single sofas. It was stationed in a corner, so there was a balcony view to peer down the first floor. There was a tiny standee with the QR code, so we ordered iced lattes (it was a hot day that day) and the two patties. We also ordered a large cookie. In the order of food arrival, the sandwiches arrived first and the cookie was next. It took a while for the coffee to arrive. I remember the patty was so juicy, I was being careful not to let it drip. It was a hearty good hamburger in a way. Generally, the lounge experience was exactly what we wanted, so it was the highlight of our meetup. I recall chatting about lots of things, catching up and sharing some metaphorical tea.

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.

Also tried the kopi ginger. The ginger adds a little kick to the coffee, but its not too bitter since there is palm sugar added to the coffee. I asked to reduce the sugar and they were able to do so. Staff is super friendly and willing to provide recommendations if you have a hard time deciding. Will be coming back to this place to try the other drinks and food options.

One thing I really appreciate is that they carefully measure everything that goes into each drink, so you can expect the same consistent quality every time you visit. Highly recommend the Matcha Velvet Latte if you're a matcha fan!

The chocolate is rich, the pastry is soft yet flakey, and there's a perfect little pinch of salt that really brings the flavor together. I'd also really recommend going to their monthly Loquat at night events with their incredible Sabich sandwiches.

My first priority was to try Loquat's famous babka, but the petite pink mahlab cake was also calling my name. I selected the salted chocolate babka to enjoy at the cafe and took the mahlab cake home to enjoy later. My friend and I lucked out because a table for two opened up right as we ordered. My babka was plated on a dainty ceramic dish, which matched the old-school European cafe vibes. The babka was light and fluffy, yet the outside was crisp and buttery like a croissant. The salted chocolate layers folded into the pastry were the perfect balance of sweet and salty, and the chocolate tasted high-quality. One babka could have probably been split into two servings, especially if you want to try multiple items, but I didn't leave behind a single crumb. All around us, the other diners seemed to be enjoying a full-scale brunch with savory pastries and what appeared to be a Turkish breakfast platter. It all smelled wonderful, so I'll have to explore more of the menu on my next visit. I enjoyed the mahlab cake a day later and was amazed that it retained its delicate and light texture. The icing was lightly flavored with orange, cherry, and floral notes, and the presentation was so elegant. The cake was the perfect accompaniment to my afternoon cup of tea. While I'm on a mission to try as many of SF's bakeries as I can, I am looking forward to returning to Loquat.
