    Had a good time with my bf's cuzn. We were looking for Noe cafe recommended by another cuzn. We walked here to this cafe after lunch. It was busy with customers sitting and enjoying themselves with drinks and snacks. My bf's checked out the pop up Vietnamese food table. She thought it was cool. Then, I ordered a matcha latte and received a heart art on top. While the cuzn she chose an ube iced drink. It was super creamy. We'd just like the match and ube flavor to come out more when we drank it!

    This is a cool little cafe. Nice ambiance with good music and outdoor seating. It is popular and gets busy and parking is a challenge. I got the cold Matcha latte, which was great on a warm day. Wish they had indoor seating too.

    I really enjoyed their 18th street location so decided to have late breakfast at the mothership. Totally different vibe. While 18th St is brand new modern space attached to the Psychiatry Building, (insert joke here), catering to the UCSF staff mostly. This location is for Noe Valley neighbors. Very lived-in, casual vibe. Large parklet. Why the wrap around bench too high for the tables? Inside is the order counter, friendly service. The only inside seating booths for those often cold mornings are taken up with supply boxes, etc. On to the main event, delicious Avocado Toast. A generous slice of artisan bread topped with avocado slices, olive oil & everything seasoning adding to the flavor profile. I know finding perfectly ripe avocados is difficult, so no strikes, but the fruit was one day short of readiness. I added scrambled egg & bacon. Couldn't tell that they microwaved cause there's no kitchen. Bacon was yummy, good balance of crispy & chewy. My London Fog was well prepared. Another minor gripe, everything packaged to-go, cardboard box & disposable recyclable fork & knife. Trying to cut the toast in half produced a mess looking like a rabid raccoon attack. Ok, a bit cranky today, forget all that, really enjoyed my meal & the laid back atmosphere, home to laptop campers, visiting friends, well behaved dogs & baby carriages. Definitely destination worthy. Support Local !

    loved the iced oat latte ($7)! the base was very nutty and creamy. only wished it was colder. bonus points for the cute garden vibes of the interior and exterior

    This is my second time visiting Noe Cafe! I really enjoyed it the first time and decided to come back while I was in the area. Ambiance: Area is relatively easy to find street parking. There are lots of dog owners and families walking around, I felt very safe. I do not think there is any indoor seating, but there are some tables outside. Service: amazing! Baristas were very friendly and accommodating, especially the lovely woman on the register. Fast as well. Drinks: I got a vanilla oat latte and I was happy with the drink. Smooth, creamy and full body. A good solid latte. Food: I ordered the breakfast sandwich with bacon, adding a protein option is an extra $2. I would SKIP THE SANDWICH sadly. It came out very small and sad. I am a smaller girl and did not feel entirely full. Presentation aside, it tasted ok but I thought it was a little dry. Brioche bun was not soft. I would not get this again considering it was $10-$11. Maybe try a pastry next time. I would recommend coming to Noe Cafe if you wanted a quick pick me up or just to chat with a friend as they have cute outdoor seating.

    We came here on a weekend morning, and it was packed. Most seating was taken, line out of the door, but overall seemed like a super local spot. Lots of families, dogs, really lovely vibes. The interior seating is reserved for staff, but the WiFi works outside too, so a good spot to work. I got a cortado, and it was solid! Milk was a bit frothy for my taste, but still good. My partner got a vanilla latte, and it was good too. A little bit soft on the vanilla flavor. Really good spot to meet up and grab a coffee with someone. Check it out!

    Tried their seasonal coconut latte here and it was so good! I got it iced with whole milk and I feel like it really brought out the coconut flavor. The espresso wasn't burnt so the drink was very smooth and pleasant to drink. I definitely plan on coming back to get it before it's no longer a seasonal drink!

    This is a nice, casual neighborhood cafe that's dog friendly. I tried the mushroom empanada because all the meat empanadas had green onions, which I have a food intolerance/allergy to. The empanada was delicious and a filling snack! I just wish there's a meat empanada option without green onions. Service was also friendly. This place is also very dog friendly if you're coming here with your dog. There's a dog leash hook in the outdoor seating area, and you can ask the staff for a water bowl for your dog as well.

    Matcha creamsicle latte

    This cafe is very family & dog friendly (giving dog treats out when you order!). There are a few booths inside but these tables were reserved for some reason. I waited about 10 minutes for my latte & empanada. I sat in their parklet for an hour using their wifi & doing work on my laptop. The empanada was tasty but a bit expensive, but the latte was interesting! Since many families come here with their kids, I wouldn't recommend this place as the best place to use wifi & work, but the weekend vibes are nice!

    Busy, friendly and great strong coffee! They have the works here - from pastries to sandwich's to beverages! Given that this is a neighborhood favorite, you'll want to be mindful of your timing over the weekend. Cozy outdoor seating/great spot to hangout for a bit while you enjoy your goodies.

I'm not even going to go into detail about how good the coffee is because it just is, you have to try it for yourself. One thing I especially love about this location is that they also sell books and little trinkets. They even have a selection of books from Green Apple Books for just $5! I always make it a point to browse the shelves whenever I'm here to see if I can find my next read. Great coffee, fun finds, and the perfect little break during busy tournament weekends.

Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee before Ocean Beach or meeting up with friends on a foggy morning, it just feels like one of those places that's always been there. I sincerely hope it stays that way for years to come. While they're well known for their coffee, I keep coming back for the pastries. The Original Bird is nothing short of incredible. Flaky, buttery, perfectly baked, and dangerously easy to polish off in just a few bites. It's one of those pastries I find myself craving long after I've left. Their seasonal offerings have been just as impressive. The recent Mango Plover was a fantastic addition to the menu with bright, fresh flavors that felt perfect for the summer. It's always nice to see a neighborhood favorite continue experimenting while still delivering the quality people have come to expect. Over the years, Andytown has earned its reputation as a Sunset staple. The quality has remained consistently high, the pastries are some of the best in the neighborhood, and it's the kind of local business that's easy to root for. If you find yourself in the Sunset, stop in, grab an Original Bird, and see what all the hype is about. Chances are it won't be your last visit.

    My favorite coffee shop in San Jose. I look forward to going every time. All their drinks are…read moreexcellent. I started with the vanilla bean latte with oat milk. Good hot or iced. Occasionally burnt espresso but I love them too much to mind. I am a matcha snob to say the LEAST. Hands down best coffee shop matcha in the Bay Area. The classic iced matcha latte with honey is grassy and earthy and creamy and a little sweet. The iced banana pudding matcha latte had people lined up around the corner for months when it came out. It is deliciously worth the wait. Best banana cold foam in my opinion because it's made with actual bananas instead of flavoring so it's much more mellow. The double matcha they had for awhile is also awesome. Banana cold foam also goes great on an espresso latte. Now they let you add whichever cold foam you like to whatever drink which is great. Basically you can't go wrong. They are always changing up the menu for the new season and have lots of unique drinks on their menu. Not much seating inside at this location. The winchester Blvd one has more if that's what you're looking for. Their pastries are also all yummy and they sell their matcha powder for $60 for 100g which is a GREAT price for a great matcha. I would've gate kept this place but everyone already knows about it so I HAVE to show them the love they deserve!!

I got the melon matcha with whole milk and the matcha cream top. I think I like their guava matcha more than the honeydew, but it was still good. It had a distinct honeydew flavor and the matcha itself was smooth. A friend of mine tried it and said it tasted like a lip smackers, which I think is a good way to describe it. I came on a Friday morning and it wasn't too busy. All the seats inside were taken but there were open tables outside. There's metered parking along Second and William street and it wasn't hard to find a spot. I love coming to academic and trying their new drinks, so I'll definitely be back.

On the days we have gone, the line has varied from being out the door to a quick walk in and order - truly just depends. Regardless of the long line, these drinks are soooo good.

It is definitely a variety of people socializing, working, reading books, or just hanging out. Parking is metered or street parking, and we haven't had any issue finding parking!

Our go to orders include the Mocha Dream Espresso Cloud and the Nitro Mango, but we have also gotten the Hojicha Cloud, which is amazing as well.

The cold foam on top was light and delicious. They only had one size and it was pretty big. The applewood bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on brioche bread was also amazing. Very savory, not too heavy either. It was mostly just bread though. Definitely coming back to try their other drinks when I'm in the area!
