There's a tablet off to the side that you can use to order your drinks. If the line gets too long, a cashier tends to jump in to help with orders. I do appreciate the screen in the corner that shows your order number so you're able to track it. I usually opt for their Coconut Mango Boom and it's never too sweet. Overall, I think the experience is decent if you order ahead. It seems less worth it when there's a long wait. There's also not a lot of seats inside so it feels more of a order and go kind of place.

What a cute little cafe! Visited for the first time on a Friday morning, and it wasn't bustling as…read moreothers have noted (could be due to not being the weekend?), so I was helped right away. Located in a rather dense part of Daly City, but with a little effort, you can find a spot to park. NOTE: There are meters on Mission Street that only take quarters! You order at the counter, then take a seat. Nice variety on the menu, both breakfast and lunch items (eggy thangs & goodness between bread). A couple of Latin items. A small choice of baked goods and a self-serve water station. Ordered "The Scrambled" w/ ham and cheddar, potatoes... no choice on toast, just straight unbuttered wheat, so you'll need to request butter if you want some. Also got a large latte which was delicious! Everything was brought to me, which was nice. Only saw one staffer up front (they weren't busy), and she was super friendly and upbeat. Can't believe I haven't been here before, but I will be back as I'd like to try the Baleada, which is egg, bean, and cheese in a tortilla... simple, but looks tasty. Also, prices were very reasonable! Go, go, GO!

Stumbled upon this neighborhood mom and pop cafe as I was finishing up some grocery shopping nearby…read morein the morning. You order and pay at the counter and they'll bring you your dish if you want to dine in. There is metered street parking at the front, but you can find residential parking on the side streets. The ambiance of the cafe was simple, warming and welcoming; a quiet and relaxing vibe. Service overall was great and dish came out decently fast. They cleaned up pretty quickly as well when a table was finished. I wanted something a bit light so I opted for: 1) American Omelette(6.5/10)(~$12) - A decent and light breakfast plate. The omelette was a thin egg omelette a bit of a departure from your usual diner fare. The ham wasn't diced either, it was just 1-2 deli sliced ham placed in between with your choice of cheese(provolone, cheddar or swiss). For sides, you can either get a salad or potatoes. I went with the potatoes and they were grilled really well and seasoned just right. It also came with a sliced wheat bread. It was an okay dish, but if you want something more filling, I would try something else. 2) Drip Coffee(Small)(7/10)($2.75) - Just your usual house coffee. Overall, taste was good without it being overly bitter. A adequate cup of coffee that will wake you up in the morning. Price was very reasonable as well. 3) Pupusas(5.5/10)($4.50) - I ordered a pupusa to go as I wanted to give it a try for lunch. It was an okay pupusa; I ordered the chorizo one....but couldn't really find it in the pupusa when I got home. Just refried beans. It was freshly made though since it took awhile to get it. The pupusas aren't on the menu in the cafe, but it is written on the board outside. It came with a bag of mild salsa and a bag veggies on the side. Overall, I've had better pupusas on the Mission and would skip this. A decent neighborhood spot to grab a quick bite if in the area!

I ordered the Banana Cream Pie Latte with a double shot and almond milk. It was delicious. I loved everything about it. It was like having dessert with coffee, and I couldn't get enough of it. The banana cream was creamy and had the perfect amount of banana flavor. It wasn't overpowering, and it paired well with the coffee. I'm curious about the matcha now, so I'll have to try that next time.

I think it's still quite new so they're developing the space which the interior is quite bare but has a lot of potential. Feels like a restaurant layout but I wish it was more chill like a lounge/cafe. Unfortunately there aren't many outlets and worker said no wifi, if there was I would totally come to work here. Items on the menu were okay but maybe my standard is high from just being in Thailand lol. They could really hone in on the Thai experience (asam tea and kanom krok etc) to differentiate from the boba/matcha places. I like you can adjust the sweet level. Anyways okay place, would come back if they improved the area to chill/work and I'd be willing to try the other items! Please give fast wifi!!

I got the hot chocolate and it was also surprisingly good for a non-coffee option with latte art on the hot chocolate and nice foam top. Their everything croissant was especially delicious, with flaky layers of pastry and a small dab of herbed cream cheese hidden in the center.
