I didn't make any adjustments to the drink and the sweetness level was just right for me. Funnily, I walked right past the place because I couldn't find any obvious signage outside. It's a small cafe with a little counter and window seating, seems to be mostly a grab-and-go spot. The menu has a great variety beyond the standard coffee options. Several speciality drinks caught my eye like the Ferrero Rocher latte which I'll definitely try next time. The service was super chill and friendly and I'll definitely be swinging by again. Parking tip: Grand Ave is generally rough when it comes to parking. Save yourself some time and head straight to Miller Ave parking garage. I've hardly had any trouble finding a spot there and it's just a short walk from Dead Eye.

After hiking, my friend and I usually grab a matcha. Dead Eye Coffee Bar was somewhat close to our…read morehiking spot. Another friend recommended I try it, so it seemed great to try it and be close by, hiking-wise. I came on a weekday afternoon. It was quite unassuming, because you enter through a communal door, then turn into the small shop. There's fun, local decor, and the vibes are chill. There are only a couple of stools, and it's quite small with limited standing room. It's more of a grab-and-go vibe than a sit-and-work vibe. The workers were nice, and they brought drinks out efficiently. My friend and I both got the Coco Cream Pandan Matcha Latte with Oat Milk. It's a seasonal drink. You could taste the pandan, and it was creamy from the coconut, but lighter on the matcha. They have other specialty drinks, plus coffee and other teas. I wouldn't mind trying another drink or getting that one again if I were in the area. Dead Eye Coffee Bar is a popular spot for caffeine in South San Francisco. They're located off Grand Ave., but parking can be hit or miss.

Parking is pretty easy since it's surrounded by not only street parking but also a parking garage and parking lot just across the street.

We snagged a…read morebigger table that seated 6 of us and ordered quickly: Matcha Latte, Cafe Americano, Strawberry Mango smoothie, chocolate croissant, Avocado Toast with egg and bacon, steak and chicken and mushroom empanadas. I honestly felt like we weren't waiting for too long and in no time we received our orders. They also had a setup (on the side) for water (infused) where we could help ourselves. I actually thought that the food were good sized portions and prepared well. The empanadas were nice and flavorful, the avocado toast was as advertised and looked even better in person. The matcha latte was pretty tasty, as was the smoothie. The croissant could've used a little more chocolate to croissant ratio, but still pretty tasty. It was all so fresh and tasty and if you ask me, made with love. When we showed up the timing was ideal since we were able to snag a table and a parking spot with no issues. Service was amazing and everyone was so nice and easy to work with. Would definitely return to this spot if I'm ever back in the area.

Pandan Matcha! this is the strongest pandan flavor i've had in a while and it was really good!! it did overpower the matcha flavor but I didn't mind because I like pandan and this was really good and not superrrrr artificial or sweet like other places. If you are looking for a strong matcha taste, this drink might not be for you tho service was great and speedy considering how long the line was (30min before closing too wow) I also loved the decor and I think this would be a great place to work: there's wifi, some seating and power sockets

4/5 Kaizen Coffee…read moredefinitely lives up to the hype when it comes to their pour over. The space is clean, modern, and aesthetically nice, but it is pretty small and not really the type of café I would hang out at for hours. It reminded me more of a busy boba shop where you grab your drink and go. We came around 1 PM and waited about 10 minutes. They only allow around six people to queue inside, so there was a pretty steady line of people waiting outside. This place gets BUSY. We tried the black sesame iced latte and a single origin pour over. The pour over was easily a 10/10 for me. I love light roasts that are super fruit forward, bright, and almost tea like, and this was exactly that. The barista was also incredibly friendly and even shared his recipe with me, which I really appreciated. The black sesame latte was one of the drinks we kept seeing on social media, so obviously we had to try it. Unfortunately, it was not our favorite. The black sesame tasted pretty grainy and bitter, which clashed with the sweetness of the coffee rather than complementing it. I would probably give that drink a 3/5. One thing I really liked is their whole bean selection. They had a ton of freshly roasted coffee available, including beans from Hydrangea and Black & White. Overall, Kaizen gets a 4/5 from me. The pour over alone is enough to bring me back, but I was expecting a little more from their black sesame iced latte

At the cashier, they have boxes of buns sold in bulk- black sesame buns, BBQ pork buns, and vegetable buns. Great for families.

I have not tried these yet.

Located near SFO, it's a decent spot to hang out while waiting for whoever you need to pick up…read more Came here on 2 separate occasions. There's some parking right in front of the building and I've gotten lucky both times where there was a spot directly in front. Service is fast. Drinks come out fairly quickly and the desert you order is already made. They ask if you want it warmed up, say yes. There's so many flavors, that I may need to come back multiple times to try them all. The first time I came, ordered 3 different flavors of the bibingka cupcakes. The Dubai Chocolate was nice. Not too sweet and the flavor was good. The mango cream was great. All the cupcakes so far were good. The leche flan taho, was different. Still good. I ate it after I picked up the people at the airport so it probably went cold. Don't warm it up, it'll change consistency. Still good nonetheless. And the halo halo, can't complain with a nice cold treat when it's hot outside. The staff is nice. The person who helped out the first time was nice and we had a nice convo. Help support small businesses and try out a sweet or 2. They also have savory dishes but I was never in the mood either time I was there.

I watched their reactions when taking the first sip, it was a lot of head nodding and thumbs upping to their friends so I felt like I had to go in and try for myself. Went in and ordered an earl gray matcha and my partner ordered a passion mango tea w boba. The matcha & the passion fruit was so good! The boba was chewy and sweet. I would definitely recommend coming and trying! I really wanted to try their strawberry matcha but I'm always so skeptical (I have trust issues w bad strawb matchas) but the earl gray was good, so maybe I'll try next visit. The interior was nice, menu was straight forward on the wall and on the check out table -- only thing is the description of the drinks weren't shown on the menus until you're on the self check out kiosk. I was curious about the sunny side up matcha thinking it was made with real egg yolk (which I thought kinda weird?) but the kiosk said that it was mango. You didn't really talk to staff at all & the drinks came out pretty fast! Would come back again.

I'll round up because I want this place to do well. This was my second time coming here. The first…read moretime, my husband ordered a hojicha einspanner. The second time, I ordered a matcha einspanner, and he got the hojicha einspanner again. Maybe I'm just not too familiar with how to drink einspanners, but the cream pretty much sat on top of the drink. At first, I was mostly just drinking the matcha, which was fine because it was flavorful and seemed to be good quality. Once I got toward the end of the drink, that's when I started tasting the cream. The cream was a little too thick for my liking and left a film-like texture in my mouth, which I didn't love. Since I enjoyed the overall flavor of the drink, I'll give it a 4! The ambiance is cute, and the service was easy. You just order from a kiosk, and they call your name once your drink is ready. The first time I went was on a weekend, and the line was out the door. This time, I went on a weekday, and it was pretty empty. If you're looking for a sweet, caffeinated drink as a pick-me-up, I'd recommend trying it at least once.

There were plenty of empty tables, but no one was really taking orders, so we ended up waiting around 30 minutes when it should not have taken that long. Also, the young lady at the cash register let someone who was already eating cut the line just to order more food. Everyone waiting seemed annoyed, but no one said anything. The service once you're seated isn't the best either. The workers don't really come around to check on you, so if you need water or anything else, you pretty much have to flag someone down. Even for to-go boxes, napkins, etc., you have to get up and grab them yourself from the counters. It's not a huge deal, but it definitely makes the service feel a little lacking. The food was also just okay this time. I got the chicken and waffles, and the waffle was pretty bland while the chicken was way too salty. Overall, the prices are a little on the expensive side too , it was $7 just to add one pancake.
