Small but beautiful and cozy café with a very calm atmosphere…read more I ordered a latte with their signature syrup, and it was absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend trying it

By night: Bar Bibi. By day: Better Half Coffee…read more I've been wanting to try Better Half for a while since they were a popup! I believe they're now a permanent fixture in this wine bar during the day. Someone in the Sunset wanted to meet up and suggested Better Half. It was kismet that he picked a place near me! It's a great location, very walkable. I loved my Iced non-dairy latte with ispahan syrup. Ispahan blends rose, lychee, and raspberry--it's a unique (and great) floral flavor that I haven't seen at a cafe before! Service was nice. Clientele was diverse. There were some older people chatting and an older man reading a physical paper outside. There were also some tourists! I wonder if they came from the nearby cable car line. I will be back!

Had a really bizarre and unnecessarily rude experience here today…read more When my coworker and I walked in, we were standing toward the front of the cafe and didn't realize we were in the wrong spot to order. Instead of just pointing us in the right direction, the person working gave us attitude about it. We apologized and explained that we thought we were supposed to stand where we were, and he responded with something along the lines of, "Well, the cashier is here, so you should be standing here." Just a weirdly hostile interaction over a very normal mistake. Then I ordered my coffee and asked for vanilla. He told me they didn't have any, so I said no problem and asked if they had another sweetener. His response was, "No, we don't. I don't do that here." I said, "Oh, okay, interesting," and he responded, "Yeah, that's why there are other coffee shops. You don't have to come here if you don't want to." I also asked for 2% milk, and again got a very curt "I don't do 2% milk," instead of just telling me what they did have. I happily switched to oat milk -- none of my requests were a big deal to me, and I wasn't upset that they didn't have what I originally asked for. It was entirely the attitude. Not sure why every interaction needed to come with so much sass, especially when we were being perfectly polite. Coffee was fine, but the service made the whole experience uncomfortable. Definitely won't be back, and if you're expecting friendly or welcoming service, I'd go somewhere else.

I've been here twice now. First and second time, the only…read moreperson working there says nothing, like some sort of coffee-serving-NPC. At this point, I'm starting to think he is an advanced coffee-bot. Second time, I was literally the only person in the space, and the NPC sat my coffee down on the other side of the counter, making me walk all the way over there instead of just handing it to me where I was at the other side of the counter. He also said "macchiato" as if there was any other order pending. Very strange and impersonal in every way. Also, coffee was bitter the first and decent the second. For the higher prices, sorry for expecting human service of any kind. Will go to Andytown instead now that they are also open on Market and Kearney.

Love the inside ambiance! Menu have varieties to choose…read morefrom! Monkey bread and Special Peking Duck burrito was my top choice today! I love the Monkey Bread texture. It was chewy inside, outside was semi crunchy and savory overall. Will get this again. Peking duck came with a lot of cucumbers fillings which made the burrito itself not dry. It came with a sweet chili sauce on the side. I had the fifty shades. It was kinda too sweet for me. I would definitely ask to adjust the sugar level if I can next time.

A quick walk for some fresh air with a colleague brought us to this location of SPRO…read more This location is airy and spacious with high ceilings, more reminiscent of a building lobby than a coffee shop. I needed a morning pick me up and was intrigued by the cold fashioned on the menu. I hesitated since the price for the coffee was $8.50 but decided to go for it. Where else can I get an old fashioned-inspired coffee drink? It came with bitters and an orange peel to top. It was anything but good. The drink itself just looked like iced black coffee with a small orange slice (see pic). It also tasted just like black coffee accented with bitters and notes of cherry, which made it not good at all. Unless this is a popular drink, SPRO may want to consider removing this from their menu. Although my first visit didn't end with a coffee I enjoyed, there are a lot of other options on the menu I'd be interested in coming back to try.

Do not come here if you need a minute to sit, let alone breathe. Cold, stale, and very unfriendly…read morecashier/staff. Enforces strict policy of "Seating is for customers only" which is silly as I had been planning to purchase a drink shortly. Definitely last time I will be stopping by. I was at work, waiting for a client who was running late and missed her bus. The staff were giving very dirty looks the entire 5 minutes I sat there, then proceeds to come up to let me know "Uh, Seating for customer only." I respond with a quick "Sure I am just waiting on a client." The two ladies go behind the counter and continue to stalk and stare at me. Yep, easiest decision of the day - I left. I am not paying a cent to a business like this.

Banana is having its moment in the culinary limelight, with bananas foster spawning all over my…read morereels algorithm and banana matcha in every cafe. Ever since my banana laffy taffy-hating days, I never thought much about this trend. However, I was intrigued by Upfordayz's fresh banana latte, and had the opportunity to try it for myself recently. The cafe is spacious and clean with gorgeous wall to wall window panels, perfect for chats and people watching. The cafe was bustling but not claustrophobic, and signage on the walls advertised their new protein packed bowls and smoothies, which honestly looked quite good. There was no line so I ordered quickly with the friendly cashier and within minutes my name was being called. The banana latte (I got mine with oat milk) has real banana squashed at the bottom with a drizzle of caramel sauce for sweetness. The drink required a fair amount of mixing to homogenize and the banana was more chunky than I like. Nonetheless, the sweetness of the banana + caramel paired wonderfully with the smooth, rich coffee. I appreciate that the coffee tasted like a darker roast, I don't think a more sour profile would have worked with the banana and caramel. The drink was pricy but what isn't pricy in SF? I think it can definitely be replicated pretty easily at home. Kudos to Upfordayz for making a banana drink that even I like!! I can see why it's so popular, and I would definitely come back to try their bowls and pastries.

This coffee shop is at a very busy intersection, right by Battery and Market. It's rather…read moreaccessible for most of the working population who work in-office in the Financial District, and that's what makes it special. While the storefront seems pretty welcoming on the outside, I could say otherwise about the customer service side of things. I was soon met not just with unwelcoming hospitality, but also, utter rudeness while ordering my coffee. I felt rushed, and when I asked about the pastries, all the one person that ordered it was: "this is what we have." I'm asking you to specify the pastries because... I GENUINELY don't know what they are? Like we're not experts at pastries compared to baristas that know their stuff -- let alone some random customer like me who doesn't know the name of EVERY pastry. Eventually, after that, I ordered the croissant and a cortado, and both tasted wonderful. The croissant was flaky and very buttery, and the cortado was a great combination to it as well. Ambiance isn't too bad -- there's small tables, but also, very spacious seating on the window side of the seating where there's a bar and more. I'll be back, but please treat your guests in a more courteous way, please -- it goes a long way.

such a cute place - love the ambiance. Lots of beautiful Arabic decor and art on the wall…read more My barista was so friendly and really took care to describe their specialty drinks and their flavor profiles. I was torn between Yemeni latte and their pistachio latte and ended choosing the pistachio latte but asked to make it less sweet. It was one of the BEST lattes I've ever had - very complex, not too sweet, rich and nutty. I'm so glad our hotel is nearby so I can come here again tomorrow and order this (and maybe make my husband order the Yemeni latte). Also want to try their dubai cheesecake and some of the other yummy pastries then too.

Delah Coffee is in the Financial District, one block away from a local fire station. The place is…read morepretty large with a good amount of comfortable seating. The wifi is pretty good, for those doing work there including being able to handle Zoom meeting. I've had their regular coffee and their Cortados, maybe one day I'll try one of their specialty drinks. I've had their wife range of food including their baked goods (Dubai Croissant, Almond Croissant and Cinnamon Danish) all of which were fresh and tasty. I've had tried their chicken and beef shawarmas, sharing them with friends, and those were better than I thought they'd be. This place has friendly staff, and the place has more character than the big coffee companies who shall remain nameless.

Delicious drink and even better service!…read more I had just finished a PilatesFusion workout class at the nearby Bay Club, and wanted a little treat for myself. I Googled ube latte and this came up. Though the Pop-Up by Porter was out of ube croissants, the Iced salted honey pistachio latte with oat milk I had was delicious and so unique. It wasn't overly salty and all the flavors melded together in a refreshing taste. Originally in Seattle, they are in this location temporarily in Levi's Plaza while they wait for the bigger space across the way to finish their lease. I will be back for sure! Come early before their baked goods sell out!
