    Breakfast sandwich with sausage on everything bagel! So good!

    Yummy! They were friendly and the bagel sandwich was actually so good! Hit the spot for breakfast!

    This is a friendly little corner place in Hayes Valley. You'll find a very basic selection of breakfast items, sandwiches and coffee. They have a limited selection of rolls, bagels and drinks too. It's not a standout, and there wouldn't necessarily be a striking reason to seek it out. But, it's got a good vibe and it's never a quality let-down. With an office at Hayes and Van Ness this place is close, but also a decent reason to mix it up when you want to be somewhere a little more quiet. It's amazing what two blocks can do in terms of a change of scenery in SF. I've grabbed a few things here during short breaks - it's always been in the mid-Morning. Basic snacks like Croissants, Bagels (I usually go basic buttered/toasted), and rolls are easy enough. I have had their Breakfast Burrito a couple of times. It's, again, nothing special or especially delicious. But, for less than $6 it's a good amount of food if you're hungry. I also had their Veggie Bagel with Cucumber, Tomatoes, Red Onions and Cream Cheese which was solid. They also have lunch sandwiches which I have not tried. Brass-Tacks, a fine little space for what it is. I like a little place with one table and limited traffic. If you're getting something that takes a few minutes, there's also a Walgreens a few doors down. I normally eat what I get while walking back to the office.

    My new favorite place for lunch. Service is quick, ingredients are fresh, and only $7 for a sandwich.

    I had a falafel here, it was decent. Not a bad place to grab a quick lunch. The person working (Nina?) was cool.

    Rossi always provides great service. Her sandwiches are reasonably priced and better tasting than Subway.

    Why no, I don't want to pay $5 for a frozen, microwaved burger. But thanks. It was a disgusting brick of "meat".

    The roast-beef melt is also a favorite, which comes with a healthy kick from the jalapeños.

Our group came around 1pm and was able to grab the last 3 sets. Our party of 6 was able to share the 3 sets and feel relatively full. There was a range of dishes, of the selection the tempura and the silky eat was quite delicious. We found the Napa to be a bit floral for our taste but a perfect palette cleanser. The staff were the sweetest and combined tables together to let our party sit together. They even put a candle in the matcha tart for my birthday!

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.

I'm a lover of pandan and had SO much trouble choosing a drink because of it lol. I ended up ordering the kopi klepon and it was amazing! The drink was super creamy and earthy, and I loved how vibrant the pandan flavor was. Oftentimes when I get pandan drinks the flavor is way too light, but this had the perfect amount. It also had a bit of palm sugar in it, which added just the right level of sweetness. Definitely lived up to the hype!

A couple tables along the side but overall not too big inside. Couldn't decide what to get but I loved that their menu included visuals for the components of each drink. Price is slightly on the higher end but I guess you can't get Indonesian coffee anywhere else in SF. Ended up with a macchiato and cappuccino to try. Staff was friendly and I appreciate that they were informative about the macchiato being different than how Starbucks does it. Our drinks were freshly made and ready in 5 mins. Size of the macchiato was definitely a lot smaller than I realized but the coffee was nice and bold. Both drinks allowed us to appreciate the pure coffee bean taste without being too bitter. Looking forward to coming back and trying the popular kopi pandan!

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.

Bright clean Modern minimalist decor with tiny little round tables just big enough for a laptop and your beverage of choice. Friendly service and definitely fast service midweek, though seating can be a little tight due to everyone camping out here "working from home". :) I really just wanted something simple like the drip coffee, black, no room, but they were out! Hey.. isn't this a coffeehouse!??? lol So I went for the Mocha and a blueberry scone. The Mocha was on point but I have to say the scone had a remarkable moist and almost airy texture with plenty of blueberries. 5/5 on the scone, 4.5/5 on the mocha. The servers were all friendly and seemed to enjoy being here as much as I was! I would love to come back again anytime I am nearby, especially midweek when there aren't any lines!
