    so cute! Such a lovely coffee shop on polk with plenty of seating & good quality coffee. Prices are relatively reasonable as well

    latte
    Kelly A.

    solid latte with such great vibes. really well decorated and clean, modern feel with good lighting. I came early to study and it was peaceful with a great view of the bustling street outside. later in the morning, it got busier as more people came to do work or catch up with friends. would def recommend checking this cute spot out!

    Egg and cheese croissant
    Terence T.

    I can hear chasing a high from a previous take away order here of the same egg and cheese. Back then it was super gooey and warm and the perfect texture. Sadly it was not replicated this time. An average taste at best, egg was pretty cooked. With a latte and tip this was shy of 20 dollars Service was alright, very friendly staff, however I was rather off put that they stared at the screen as the tip section came on. Cute cafe to sit in due to its interior but I will not be back to sit in it. At least they have compostable straws

    Hot chocolate

    This cafe was cute! Came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was practically empty. I liked the atmosphere as there was a lot of seating and books in the bookshelves. The servers were nice but the pastries on the counter looked a bit old as they looked like they've been there a while. I got a hot chocolate and it came out really quick. However, I lifted up the cup and it felt like the drink was only filled 3/4ths of the way to the top which was disappointing. The hot chocolate was okay; it wasn't too sweet and didn't have anything special about it. I was kind of disappointed as it costed $5.50 which is pretty expensive for a 16 oz drink that was probably only 12 oz as it wasn't filled to the top. Probably won't be back here again.

    First time! We got the chai latte with oat milk and the other drink was a cappuccino. The chai latte was an 8.5/10 - sweet but not too sweet, mild chai flavor Cappuccino was average - not as smoothly blended and on the bitter side - heavy on the foam Cute interior and ample seating to work on your laptop!

    It's so cozy and homey here. They are a café that serves their coffee in mugs instead of paper cups which I like. It seems like a popular place for people that live in the area to grab something before walking to work. It's fun to sit outside and observe busy Polk Street. Closes on the early side at 3pm.

    Moka hot with oat milk

    A perfectly well-balanced cup of coffee + cocoa. This is definitely the place to get a mocha on Polk in the city. Also, I love the educational mural on the wall. I learned so much about coffee beans!

    I had the biggest caffeine itch and stopped by Moka. I got an iced latte and left feeling not quite satisfied. The drink felt more watery than I would have preferred. However the staff was quite friendly and the inside has nice seating options.

    Canadian bacon, egg, and cheese croissant

    My favorite coffee shop on Polk and my favorite mocha in all of SF! Food: my go to drink order is a mocha with oat milk (hot or iced, they're both amazing) and my go to food order is the Canadian bacon, egg, and cheese croissant. Consistently delicious! Service: above and beyond! The folks here are so kind and not to mention, extremely efficient Ambiance: cute and cozy! Their indoor space is perfect for getting some work done. Lots of seating and outlets! They have a few outdoor tables and seats that are great for enjoying your drink on a warm day

    Love this north beach coffee shop Solid ice mochas at this spot Great people watching

    This spot is so quaint and cute! The ladies working here are honestly so nice, and during the weekdays the mornings in this coffee shop are really chill and quiet. Brought my laptop and worked here for the first few hours of the day and it was perfect. There were outlets and free wifi, and had the perfect spot facing the window. Felt like working outside! Got myself an oat milk latte & and egg and cheese croissant and they even warm it up for you without asking!

    Inside

    I ordered a mocha. Asked whats good cashier said mocha hence the name of the store. I was here on a Sunday. Lots of casual lounge space inside. Food: mocha had Lots of chocolate. Yummy dessert. Ambiance: nice lounge area. Not ideal for homework.

    This place has potential but again like many biz here its marred by the homeless peeps camped next to it. The cafe itself is quite homey & comfy with mix of wooden chairs & old leather upholstery bench, relaxing jazz music in the back ground. The latte was good. The barista said its her last day here because of safety concerns. As we spoke one of the homeless berserker was cussing & rampaging up & down the street, yelling at passers by, kicking trash bins & smashing chairs next door...sigh. If this is in Singapore he would have been given some good old fashion justice from the cat O' nine tails.

    Cool little shop tucked away on Polk. Service was quick enough but not particularly friendly. Espresso shot was tasty and came up quick.

Every drink we ordered was honestly delicious, you can really tell they put care into the quality and flavor of each one. Their coffee is smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced.

The staff was also incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which made the whole experience even better.

We both loved our drinks, and I also appreciated the portion sizes--they were just right and really satisfying. I ordered the Velvet Matcha Cloud (a matcha latte with matcha cloud), and my sister got the Matcha Strawberry Cloud, which includes an organic matcha latte topped with house-made strawberry cloud and dried strawberries. Both drinks were beautifully made and tasted great. They also have a wide variety of drink options beyond matcha, including coffee classics like signature pour-overs and espressos, as well as tea and other hot drinks. Their food menu is just as extensive, offering pastries like crepes, croissants, scones, muffins, and even sandwich bites. I really loved the vibe inside Q! It's very aesthetic with a soft, creamy, almost cozy atmosphere. Since we went last Friday on an afternoon, it was quite busy with a mix of tech workers and college students working at tables, but the space still felt comfortable. The staff were kind and working hard despite how busy it was, which I appreciated. Overall, it's a great spot if you're looking for good drinks, a pretty atmosphere, and a productive café environment.

I got the strawberry matcha and the seasonal lavender matcha. Both drinks were bitter and tasted watered down. Default sweetness was not too sweet but the matcha didn't have the creaminess even with regular milk. Strawberry puree was good but not enough to carry the diluted matcha. The matcha cream pie was solid. Soft matcha filling with very crispy edge. Whipped cream on top was also tasty. Would not come back here for the matcha. Maybe their food is better. With matcha coming out that quick feels like it wasn't prepared well and lost its quality. Street parking here or parking garage next street over.
