I'll have to update with a picture soon but my favorite pastry is from here!!!…read more The PISTACHIO BERRY CROISSANT is delicious. It is sweet, flakey, and buttery. It definitely is a treat because it's so big (probably the size of my whole hqnd) but worth it! I also really like their miso brown sugar latte! The ambiance is nice and spacious, giving a bit of industrial and rustic vibes. Service is pretty quick depending on how busy they are and everyone has always been nice.

NOMd: - pistachio berry croissant. soooooo good! croissant was perfect ratio of crispy and moist. service, etc.: i tried taking a video of the coffee being poured and the barista thought i was taking a video of her and mugged me down (no pun intended). i reassured her that she wasn't in the video it was just the cups but she didn't say anything just continued to give me the death stare and wouldn't pour the coffee until i put my phone away. didn't call out my drink either like she did with the rest of the tickets. other than that, the place is a vibe and would come back for the croissant and the croissant only. everyone else liked their coffees.

For any remote workers however, there is no available wifi, and no outlets, so I would not recommend this as a space to work on your computer, especially because the acoustics make the space a bit loud. But for a quick coffee and a chat, definitely a solid place on Valencia.

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. Upon entering the coffee shop, you'll see a good amount of seating, but for the times we have gone, the majority of the seats are taken. 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! It's also in an area where you can shop around (across the street) if you want to grab a bite as well. 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. We love the thickness and flavors of the cold foams - you cannot go wrong with any of the cloud drinks. As popular as this place has become, it truly is worth the trip! We will always make a trip whenever we are in the city!

Cafe with a good amount of working space and natural lighting. It was very busy though and a lot of…read morethe seats were taken up. Staff was kind and patient with explaining drinks, especially since this location is newer. I got the caramel latte cloud espresso and was very pleasantly surprised!!! I usually get specialty drinks half sweet, but forgot this time - the caramel latte cloud espresso was actually just right without adjusting the sweetness. 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!

Still perfect. Prices are slightly below average for comparable products in the city and well below…read moreprices on the peninsula. I feel like there's been a bit of shrinkflation but don't mind it because some things might've been too big to begin with hehe My favorites are still the kouign amann and chocolate banana almond croissant.

Cashier & barista nice however 3 counter patisserie women did not look happy - not sure whether they are unhappy people - negative impression.

I met my girlfriend for a cup of coffee before we went for a walk at the Golden Gate Park. Just…read morereading from reviews; I was kind of second-guessing the place but I had an amazing experience. The guy with a gorgeous hair that assisted us was amazing and was super nice. I ordered americano and since I asked for a splash of oat milk; he didn't charge me for the non dairy milk. This Americano was made to perfection with enough water/espresso ratio, just absolutely delicious. The place was busy with steady line and the only thing I would say that the bathroom needed attending. CC accepted.

Horrible matcha. Heavy iced barely a few sips for $7 no thanks!…read more Very disappointed. Someone tell me where to find good matcha in the Haight!

Loved this spot. The minute you step into the cafe you can tell it's going to be good…read more The sesame latte on ice had real sesame and delicious sesame flavor. This cafe uses real ingredients and not powdered flavorings. The rusk was crunchy and sweet. The strawberry yuzu was fruity, cool, and refreshing. It's like nothing I've ever tried.

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.

They were sooo welcoming and friendly, it felt like they were old friends. I mentioned that to Alyssa and she said ALL employees at Saint Frank Coffee are like that, and I believe her. . Another thing that made an impact on me was the open and airiness of the cafe, everything just felt right. I also love the fact that they close at 6 PM. Thanks again to Tyler and Alyssa for making me feel like part of the Saint Frank Coffee, just after one visit.

Went here twice with two different experiences…read more I had their normal hot latte and that was super good. Proportions were perfect. Got their iced latte the 2nd time around and omg. That was a tall glass of milk. The light colored one is whole milk, and the darker one was with oat milk. They both didn't have a coffee taste so I was super disappointed. The cup sizes should be smaller for this or you need to redo the ratios. ): I have their beans at home and the beans are 10/10 though! Aesthetic cafe with decent amount of seating. They only allow service dogs and support animals.

Feeling adventurous so ordered coffee from Delah for delivery. Process was quick and smooth…read more A lot of interesting latte flavors and specialties to choose from but ended up with iced Yemeni latte and rose latte as well as some milk cakes. Didn't realize the rose latte would come as a hot drink but it was still good. Opted for less sweet but was a little more sweet than expected compared to the Yemeni latte. Yemeni coffee was light and subtle with cinnamon. Milk cake was moist and not too sweet - texture reminds me of a les tres cake. Rose and saffron flavors were perfect and not too overpowering Turkish coffee is not bitter or too strong. Knowing this now, will try some of their other drinks when I'm looking for something light in the future!

I was in the area looking for a place to get some work done, and Delah Coffee caught my eye because…read moreit stayed open later than most coffee shops. For being a smaller space, they had a good number of tables, and it seemed like a lot of people were there working or studying. I can never say no to a good Yemeni coffee, and this one definitely delivered. The coffee was rich and strong, the vibes were great, and having Wi-Fi made it easy to settle in and focus. I got completely in the zone while I was there. I'll definitely keep this spot in mind the next time I need a cozy place to work.
