Ordered the falafel bowl because I was vegetarian that day. I felt like the falafel was really dry. It came with salad and rice. I think it was lacking in the veggies. It would've been nice if they added some other vegetables on the side. The salad was good and I did enjoy the dressing. They also give you flatbread on the side. Overall, I just felt like the whole dish was kind of bland maybe their meat entrées are better so I'm willing to go back and try that.

The tea didn't taste fresh, the baklava was just average and cold, and the cookies didn't taste fresh either.

Cozy, upscale cafe located in the vibrant Russian Hill neighborhood…read more I went on a Monday afternoon and there was a great crowd there. Lively customers and staff, good vibes! 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.

===TL;DR=== - Iced hojicha latte $5.50…read more- Iced yuja perilla espresso tonic $7 ===TMI=== Came here during their SF Elorea event so thought I try their drinks. Interior is this off white with warm and soft ambient lighting. Downstairs had a cozy couch and high chair hybrid corner to the left with bar seating in the middle and then they have this U shape setup for upstairs seating. Hojicha latte - great price but this did not taste like the hojicha profile I'm familiar with. In other words, I didn't like it. I wouldn't be able to tell this was a hojicha latte if I tasted this blindly. It just tasted very grainy, doesn't have that rich toasty nutty sweetness I'm used to. Tbh, idk what I was drinking at that point. Wouldn't recommend. Yuja perilla espresso tonic - if you need a wake up call, a punch in the face, this is the drink for you. Complex flavor profile. Very zesty citrusy and herby. It kind of softens up as the ice melts so the end was more enjoyable. Really wanted to like this trendy cafe that's all over social media but this time, it didn't deliver for me. Overall, I think I'll just try their coffee series next time. PSA: parking here is like a nightmare. Limited meter parking. I've seen cars just getting meter maid tickets left and right. Recommend to take public transportation or rideshare.

Pork is really tender, bread is delicate and soft, the shredded cabbage balances out the richness of the sauce Beyond the food, the ambiance inside was lovely with simple decor, lots of light, and a good amount of seating.

Getting a pretty basic, straight forward matcha or hojicha beverage is always a good way to tell how a store's quality of matcha is. Of course just a plain matcha like usucha is a better way of telling but I like mine with oat milk. Upon first sip of the matcha latte, I could tell immediately that the matcha quality is of very low grade. It was extremely bitter even with the oat milk which was unfortunate. I sipped on it on my walk home and once I was back, I added more oat milk to the cup. That's how bitter it was! On the other hand, the hojicha latte was quite alright. Nothing to write home about but I didn't have to make my own alterations for that one. I'd come back for a hojicha latte but definitely not for their matcha. I can make it better at home..using a high quality powder.

Loquat is one of my favorite bakeries in the city. They have one of the best chocolate babkas I've…read moreever had. 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. The one thing I'd warn is that the space is quite small and it's hard to find a seat, so I recommend taking the pastries out and enjoying them elsewhere.

We ordered the Kubaneh Platter, and it did not disappoint! If you are someone who is a fan of…read moresavory brunches, you would love going to Loquat. Too often, brunch spots are full of pancakes, waffles, and just very sweet things. I personally am a savory eater, and this breakfast was that in spades! Nothing was too sweet and there were interesting flavors, going from the salt/spice on the eggs, to the sourness/acidity of the pink things (looks like pickled radish or onion?) The only reason why I took off one star is that the babkas can be inconsistent. The first time I got the chocolate babka, it was delicious and the salt and sugar seemed evenly distributed. The second time I purchased a chocolate babka, it was so salty it was nearly inedible in many places, but there were other parts of the bread pastry that were tasty and more similar to the first time.
