Came here for the Neko Oji-san collaboration, as that's how I learned about the cafe (I love the…read morecomedy short form manga online, check it out!). Parking nearby is horrendous, super busy even on the weekdays before the rush hour so I can't imagine weekends when people are out or other high traffic times. Get ready to make some rounds and pay for parking and be careful since there's very specific signage and times. The cafe itself is cute and cozy. Front area is a gift shop with lots of cat themed gifts and goodies like keychains, stickers, and such, and also some items from local and small artists too, which is neat. The cafe also has community events like movie showings ("The Cat Returns" was one of them which is a great choice) and cat yoga. If you're local, you can also get a time stamp if you are a frequent visitor. Definitely follow their socials for more information. There's reservations online and you can also do walk ins if it's not super busy. You can book for a 55 minute visit or a 30 minute visit. PRO-TIP: There's a discount for students, so if you want to be surrounded by some feline friends while you study or relax, great place to do so. You can hang your coat on the rack and there's a mini shelf area for your shoes. So you gotta walk in with socks! With each visit you can either get a hot cup of tea or a cold can or box drink from their fridge (sparking water, juices, etc.). Very refreshing and you can enjoy it in the cat area too. Sanitize your hands before and after visiting. There's lots of cats hiding around, sleeping, walking around, and some are super friendly and will go into your lap. There's toys you can play with the cats with and there's a wall of adoptable cats. Lots of seats or you can opt to sit on the floor with the cats too. There's relaxing lo-fi music throughout too. Pretty cool that they rescued 2 cats from Qatar and neat that we got to see them. As with all cats, some can be a bit spicy but it's usually just a warning teeth rub. I own cats so there's nothing new. I'm horribly allergic to the cat that specifically lives in my house, but I didn't get an allergy here, meaning that the cats are clean and well taken for. My favorite was a large sleepy orange boy, Ron (permanent non-adoptable resident) that was hanging out next to me the entire time.

The kitties were also SO CUTEE they were so tiny. The strawberry matcha was actually really really yummy. It was a little bit on the sweet side but you could still taste the matcha really well. Matcha was decently strong! I liked how they used real strawberries in their puree and topped it off with dried strawberries! Would get again!! Owners were also so so so incredibly sweet. The cafe is a separate room from the cat lounge and they brought the matcha to us while we were in the cat lounge!

Drinks were also super delicious! I love how there are actually fun coffee drinks to go with the cafe, and it doesn't feel gimmicky at all. The cat area was super clean, and there are toys to play with the cats. Cats are available for adoption too! We loved it here, and the price was really fair. It was about 28 dollars for the entire experience and it includes one hour of cat time and a drink. Make sure to be on time for your reservation because you can only go in during the hour you reserved. If you are ten minutes late, you don't get an extra ten minutes after the hour is up. So worth it and would recommend for anyone to try!

The place is called Stonemill Matcha so I should've got some matcha or latte, but I digress. I've…read moreheard this place has one of the best katsu sando around and as a lover of Katsu, I couldn't skip it. There's some good places in SF like Cafe Okawari. But Katsu is really becoming the new hype of the day for Japanese food, following the Sushi, Ramen, Japanese Curry, Katsu trend. So I came in with a critical view. I feel like Yoshoku in general may be next but I yet again digress. The box sandwich came in a cute little box. The inside was packed so I couldn't get a chance to fully appreciate the cafe, but the service was nice though the pay line may have moved slower than hoped. I'll say this. This is "the" best katsu sando in the bay. The katsu is crispy, but little on the softer side. But this hardness matches perfectly with the absolutely tender, soft, juicy pork wrapped inside. I'm looking at the menu again and it all makes sense. The pork has been in shio koji, making the meat ever so tender while adding the subtle but complicated marinated flavor. The cabbage is plenty, but not over packed to take away from the main Katsu flavor. What really perfects it for me, was not only the sweet and savory katsu sauce, but the mayo with dash of I think a karashi mustard. That slight tingle, the perfect kick gives a powerful awakening of flavor that really sets the it apart. This is art, an artisan. Culinary art is the refuge no raging rampant AI slop "art" can ever hope to touch. Until the day we get some cyborg implant to our brain into gustatory, olfactory functions. Even then, I don't think any tasteless tech bro are hopeless to create anything unique or beautiful.

The inside has nice lighting and both booth and chair seating to pick from and music that's not overly loud to allow work and catching up with friends. Wait time: Not a long wait time early in the morning between time of ordering and receiving your drink. If you are taking it to go there is an outdoor pick up window attached to the outside of the store for convenience and to prevent cluttering inside. Service: Friendly staff and helpful with suggestions on the menu for both drinks and food. Drinks: Ginger Matcha Latte: The strong matcha and spicy ginger flavor paired well with the sweetness of the Oat Milk creating a balanced flavor. Drink size was fair based on other matcha shops. Overall, a nice little tea shop to pick out a good quality matcha beverage, light Japanese style breakfast / brunch, or a sweet treat. Clean and quiet ambience inside with friendly staff.

I usually get the adeni chai and it usually comes scalding hot, so be careful. If I wanted to spend a long time working there, I would probably prefer to get a pot, but I'm not sure why someone would spend a long time of this area unless they worked at an office here.

The first part of the store inside has goodies / merch to buy. While the store is free to visit the cats, we felt obligated to buy something as we had a great time. The cats were so cute! I bought a coffee. In the interior cat area there are many cats inside, with many toys to play with. Lots of varieties. We saw one with inly 3 legs but he was so adorable!!! They came in different moods, some were napping and some were ultra hyper. The staff was very nice and it seemed lots of them were getting adopted. Several parties can sit inside because it's so spacious in the cat area. Highly recommended!!!!

They even have a sign outdoor that says "computer free area" so it's not intended to be a study or work spot. My boyfriend got a cappuccino which he really enjoyed and I got their morocchino which was chocolatey but strong. This is definitely not one of those trendy specially iced lattes place so don't come in thinking you'll get a sugary drink. Service was straightforward. They rang us up and our drinks came out quick.

After getting an espresso, I started working on a problem when I realized the gym would close soon…read more I left the problem half-way then went to the gym, had some dinner and decided to go back. I had checked this place's hours multiple times before. Everywhere it is listed open till 11:00pm when I checked. I got there. none of the original baristas I originally saw were there anymore. This was the difference of less than 4 hours. I highly doubt they'd have a separate shift change after 6:35pm. Regardless, there was a tall blonde guy with a permenant hanger-like smile on his face. He looked friendly, but later I realized he is a pig with a permanent smile. I went to the side I originally had wanted to sit at to grab a seat. Thie guy that was grabbing the chairs asked me something normal. I asked him if they were still open till 11:00. He said they were closing at 10:00 and pointed to a sign. I didn't notice the sign at all before and I checked online to see how late they were open and it was listed since 11:00pm so I asked him how long they had that sign. He said it was nearly a year. Then I was going to ask something else when the blond guy with hanger smile starting talking to me like I was a two year old. Spelling out C - L - O - S - E - D. I told him I was not talking to him and I was talking to the other guy. The other guy suddenly also got defensive. They both looked at me like I was out of my mind to not allow a conversation to be interrupted. Then they both started yelling at me without me raising my voice first. They started yelling at me and at each other something about private property....(I was standing on the sidewalk when the hanger smile guy started yelling to me out of nowhere about private property.) Then he started pointing his finger at me and yelling. They both started yelling and I yelled you will not point your finger at me and pointed my finger back at him. Then a "customer" walked from inside and said hey hey hey you're touching him. I was not touching anybody. This all happened incredibly quickly. Then a third guy jumped out of the store. He was very short as an appearance characteristic. He was quick to jump out as if ready to pick and continue a fight. This all happened too quick for me to be naturally ganged up by four violent men. He started yelling some things and he had this sick pleasure look in his face every time he yelled something utterly stupid at me. Then he proceeded to threaten me with calling the cops when four men started a fight with me out of NOWHERE and acted like sick violent pigs at 10:00pm. I walked away then he proceeded to follow me and threaten and yell. I walked back and told him if he comes one step closer to me I will hit him with my scooter. He stopped coming closer but kept yelling. Then he yelled something at me saying something something something something stupid something cat. I left the pigs as they were and went on my way. The entire time they were crying about private property they had the sickest smile of pure pleasure on their faces. It was absolutely disgusting to witness. They should all be in jail and not having a job.
