I've stopped by SPRO a few times for breakfast and coffee. first, the truck is so cute and you can sit in the outdoor spark social area which is nice and calm in the mornings. but about the drinks- they have an extensive list of very creative drinks and most of them sounded pretty good. I always go back to the madagascar which is essentially their vanilla latte. their coffee is strong and delicious and the amount of sweetness is perfect for my taste. their geisha matcha with honey was also honestly a pretty good quality matcha latte. I also really enjoyed the smoked salmon bagel- the wasabi cream cheese they use takes it to another level. I will say the breakfast sandwich is a bit odd, it has egg salad and prosciutto in it and I wasn't too big a fan of that combination. the prices are also a bit steep- a coffee and bagel runs around $25. in my experience, it also does take a bit long for them to get out orders but I think there was only one person working. overall, I'm very curious about some of the flavor combinations of the other fancy drinks so I will definitely be back to try them! read more

For a $9 latte, coffee was good but not exceptional. Service was also very disappointing. People were busy making drinks inside the truck but there was no acknowledgement of customers waiting in line. The people ahead of me were a couple of shy tourists who were trying to get their attention but were ignored so that was dissapointing. read more

SPRO offers a drip coffee for 4 bucks which isn't back considering the neighborhood spark social is located. You're able to customize the coffee which is nice and we were able to enjoy it at the swinging chair station which resembled a fire place. All in all, I would come back to taste the other signature drinks. We were killing time before an appointment. read more

Ok! This has to be hands down the best pour over in the bay. I didn't know that an unassuming setup like this in a foodpark can extract such flavor from the beans. The competition beans have my endorsement and I shall come back often to try out more. The barista was so patient in explaining the offerings and suggested a light roast for the coffee. read more

Wow! I'm actually so impressed. I've passed by this place often, but today was my first time actually getting something from here. I ordered an iced island hop coffee which consist of ube, coconut, & tres leches milk and it was perfectly balanced you can literally taste all the flavors. They have so many creative drinks and I look forward to trying them all! read more

One of the staple food trucks in Spark Social. I ordered the HK milk tea, which I gave a 3/5 because it was more fusion and I was expecting the OG HK milk tea. I believe they added molasses instead of condensed milk. I also got the umami bomb, which I gave a 5/5. It tasted amazing but felt a bit overpriced relative to what I got. Overall, a pretty decent coffee place and would come back to try their other drinks. read more

Do you want cold sh*tty food out of a refridgerator for breakfast? Do you want to pay $40 and then throw everything away? Come here!

This has got to be the most expensive coffee I've paid for to date. Nonetheless, it was sooo good! This coffee truck is located in Spark Social Food Truck Park, which is across the street from UCSF at Mission Bay and a few blocks from Chase Center. The truck itself is bright red, and there is a good amount of tables and chairs for seating. They have an extensive menu with a lot of seasonal drink options. I loved that, but it also made it very hard to decide which drink I wanted. The staff member at the register was very helpful and answered all of my questions. I ultimately decided to get an iced mardi gras ($6.50). I upsized to a large (+$1.50) and subbed oat milk (+$1.00). The drink came to a grand total of $9 before tip. The drink was very delicious. It was rich and had an almost chocolatey and nutty flavor. It was unique, and I loved it. I would definitely get it again. Overall, this is a solid coffee spot. read more

Service is solid. Ambiance is nice out doors with a cool double platform bus you can sit in. This is my go-to when I'm tired of blue bottle across the street. You can always expect to get some unique flavors for your caffeine here. Definitely try out the sangria one for something nice and refreshing! read more

An unassuming little coffee and treats place since it's just at the entrance of Spark Social. It's my favorite place to get a warm beverage (they also have cold drinks)! I don't drink coffee but I love the Hojicha Tea they have here! I order it hot and it's always delightfully cozy without being too sweet or milky. The cashier has always been friendly, and the drinks come out fairly fast. They have so many specialty drinks and food that I would love to try -- can't wait to be back! read more

SPRO - Hojicha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I was suuuper excited to try this place but it's just not my cup of tea. It's extremely OVERPRICED for what it is and lacking overall flavor. Cup of coffee is $8.50 + $1 for non dairy milk so it's $9.50 for a medium iced coffee. Their coffee menu is really bizarre it reminds me more of a sushi menu with ponzu and miso ingredients making it difficult to figure out what to order. I ordered the Mardi Gras's, very chicory, I added my own creamer when I got home Salmon sandwich- barely has any salmon, is mostly lettuce. I did enjoy the hint of wasabi flavor. For $14 I would expect a more generous amount of salmon. Breakfast sandwich is not breakfast AT ALL. It's literally egg salad sandwich and lacks flavor and again is mostly lettuce. For $14 I would expect ALOT more flavor Overall 2 sandwiches and 1 coffee cost $42. read more

I love hojicha and was surprised to see it here at Spark Social! Their hojicha is not too strong or too light which I like. It was not overly sweet but just good enough. Wait time to get the drink is average but wait time to order can get long. I just got lucky. Spending $6 for a hojicha latte is totally not worth it but considering it to be good, it was fine with me read more

SPRO - Hojicha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Love the shiro matcha late, really nice quality matcha and chocolate flavor without being overly sweet

They open pretty early for a food truck at 7am so I'll treat myself to Spro once in a while if I don't have to be at work right away. I've tried their hojicha latte and hong kong style milk tea and they both hit the spot on a cold morning. The bagel with salmon is nom worthy however, it's pricey and small. The menu has quite a few interesting items you wouldn't typically see at other coffee places such as a japanese mochi waffles, salmon miso salad, umami bomb avocado toast and a matcha cookie. I'm not a coffee drinker but they do have a good array of coffees to choose from as well as a few smoothies. Don't forget to check the menu on their food truck for they offer more drinks from mochas, teas and pour overs. The employees are nice and the drinks are ready within minutes. They have plenty of seating nearby. I don't come as often as I'd like to due the pricing, so I'll slowly make my way to the food and pastries menu. Take a break from Blue bottle and Starbucks and show this Spro some love! read more

My regular spot for a quick coffee while working at mission bay. The baristas are always super kind. The coffee is good and they have really unique drinks on their menu. They try their best to be speedy but sometimes (especially during lunch) they get very busy so I try to show up before 11:30am. The ambience is outdoor and social and great for people watching on a sunny day. read more

I ordered a Kyoto kiss at around 930am on a weekday. They told me that my drink will be ready in like 5 to 6 minutes, and that it was OK if I walked around the area. My drink was ready almost right on time. Perfect and smiley service from the barista. It's a food truck located by the soccer court, outdoor seating, only, but it's inside of a large fenced area. Suuuuper sunny! My drink certainly had a strong flavor. A memorable drink for sure. Not exactly very sweet, more on the savory/aromatic side. Anyways, it was eight dollars for a cup. Their large is the size of a medium everywhere else. Not that I'm complaining, I thought the drink was wonderful. The barista asked if she could place five pieces of tape onto the lid of my drink, to ensure that it would not spill, because I was walking on two dogs at the time I picked up my order. A very considerate move, and elegantly/efficiently done. Will I go again, yes! I recommend checking this place out, quality bev! Let's see if it's as impressive next time! I will get pictures upon that visit. read more

Someone at work got me hooked on this place. Their drinks and food are sooooo tasty! I love the "Fifty Shades" earl grey drink and the hojicha latte!! Simple and delicious. I have tried to order similar drinks at other places in the Bay Area, and it doesn't compare. Glad this place is close to my work. read more

I ABSOLUTELY loved this little coffee shop - truly a hidden gem in Mission Bay. I got their Spice Islands drink and was so surprised by how flavorful it was. It was the perfect balance of coffee flavor and delicious cinnamon/nutmeg flavors. It reminded me of a dirty chai (but even better). They have numerous milk options as well! The staff was also very friendly and there was practically no line when I came for my morning coffee. It seems you can also pre-order and pick up your order at the front! I will 100% be coming back to try out their other drinks and food options. read more

Spro is located in mission bay next to a bunch of other pretty nice food trucks. The rose matcha wasn't my favorite - I think it could've been stronger. I did enjoy the hojicha though and the menu is super wide spread read more

Love the vibe here! Came on a busy Sunday afternoon and grabbed a seat with a street-facing view inside. There's ample seating and saw quite a few folks studying or working here on their day off. I love the minimalist design and modern red accents. We enjoyed our drinks, although I wish my iced Orange Blossom Latte had less syrup + was less sweet overall. The more I sipped away, the more syrup I got and, by the end, I just gave it to my partner, since it was overwhelmingly sugary. My partner grabbed the Coco De Mer (hot), which came in a nice mug and was - and I quote - the "best latte he'd ever had." Pretty high praise, I must say! It was creamy, rich, and more balanced when it came to sweetness. My tip - ask for less syrup in the specialty lattes, if you're used to having little to no sweetener on the daily. We didn't get any food, but saw many enjoying their toasts and sandwiches! read more

SPRO is slowly becoming my go-to coffee + breakfast spot! Please do yourself a favor and order through Uber for pickup because it can be a long wait especially during the weekends. Items here are actually pricey $12+ for food, $8+ for drinks but this is the new food industry. Hojicha (iced) - Very light in flavor! Imo hojicha drinks can be pretty overwhelming but SPRO does it right. It is almost creamy but perfectly balanced between hojicha and milk. Tokyo rose (iced) - Again, very light but you can definitely taste matcha + rose in this drink. It is aromatic as well. I found that it tastes a lot better with oat milk than whole. Breakfast sandwich - Making this with croissant *chefs kiss*. It was JUST perfect. Pretty small serving too but in terms of the taste, all the ingredients are perfectly balanced in flavor. Umami bomb - *Chefs kiss*. I LOVE this. I only wish more of ikura was served on this but the taste is just perfect. Each bite was literally bursting with so many flavors. read more

SPRO - Umami Bomb Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

An enjoyable truck with pretty good food. I usually get the ube cookie and salmon sandwich from here. The ube cookie is nice and chewy with oatmeal and coconut bits. One of the better ube cookies out there because it's not too sweet. And the salmon sandwich is interesting because they use a wasabi honey cream cheese, which works surprisingly well for such a strange sounding combination. The bagel has a good chew as well. Sometimes it's a little sweet though, but that's the only negative. A really well thought out place to get your cafe goods. read more

Wow, some of the most unique coffee drinks I have ever had. I definitely want to come back and try more! - Spice Islands: Got this less sweet and wow it was so smooth and creamy without being overly rich. This drink had a nice kick to it with the spices and nutmeg flavor while also having a smooth yet subtle chocolate-y flavor. I do not really like rich hot chocolates and this tasted like the perfect mocha drink with nutty flavor. - Pixie Dust: I was so shocked upon first sip. The drink was not sour at all like I thought and the oat milk made the drink so creamy. The yuzu added such a citrus-y delight and the orange zest also added a kick to the drink. Definitely one of the most unique drinks I have ever had... the flavors all complemented each other so well while still giving me the caffeine I much needed. read more

I mostly get their coffee drinks when I'm there. They are ok, but the hubby likes to try their food and desserts. Located inside Spark Social, this is a popular food truck.

This was pretty close to the office and decided to try it and it was delicious! I forget exactly what I got (i think it was a tokyo something...). Everything you want from a good espresso drink was here - great milk texture, great espresso pull, and we can't forget about the latte art. There are a couple of tables out (since this is a food truck sort of thing) which is nice. This makes for a very friendly outdoor space! I would come here again to try one of their other drinks for sure! read more

Located at the Spark Social club this place was a hidden treasure. I'm not one to shell out $8-9 for avocado toast when I read it was topped with ikura salmon roe, black truffle and citrus ponzu I had to try it. It did not disappoint. There's a good portion of avocado on the toast and the bread was nice and thick and crusty. I also got the coco de mer sub oat milk in place of milk and condensed milk and I thought it was the perfect level of sweetness with hint of chocolate and coconut. Ordered the old fashioned for my husband. You have to like cold brew and old fashions to enjoy this combo. I'm definitely coming back! read more

SPRO - Umami Bomb Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

I maintain my prior rating of 4 stars for the global SPRO experience; the drinks while delicious, are a bit overpriced, and not all of them are hits. I've tried many of them at this point, particularly the non-coffee based ones (milk teas and matchas) and my favorite so far is the Fifty Shades. It's great both iced and hot but runs me $7.50 with almond milk, which is pretty steep! However my bf and I have also had the opportunity to try more of their food and have discovered some newfound favorites. I think the key is to make sure to eat the food when it's freshly prepared, so what's supposed to be hot is hot and what's supposed to be crispy stays crispy. Thus this does not make for the best takeout or delivery experience; in true foodtruck fashion, you should definitely take the time to eat SPRO's delicious grub on the spot. There's always plenty of outdoor, COVID-friendly seating at the Spark Social arena, so why not?! Your only enemy is parking. I've ordered the Umami Bomb multiple times which is avocado toast with an Asian twist: topped with furikake and salmon roe. The combination is surprisingly delicious and salty, but you should already be a fan of fish eggs and seaweed. The bread is also thick and delightfully crispy on the outside but firm and soft on the inside. I daresay it's my favorite variation of avocado toast that I have tried in SF. I think high-end Korean or Japanese restaurants in the Bay should collaborate with SPRO to feature this dish as bar bites on their menus--it'd be such a hit. The portion is on the smaller side but for $13 it's a really satisfying brunch option that won't break the bank. My vegetarian boyfriend is also OBSESSED with the Veggie Tales sandwich ($13), which is chock full of colorful greens and egg salad. Most vegetarian sandwiches lack protein so this is a great, filling offering. He also loves the BBQ sauce that gives it tons of flavor; personally I'm more partial to the white miso spread they use on their country club sandwich but to each their own. I tried the Blueberry mochi waffle ($11), which was not soggy this time around because I was able to consume it as soon as it was made. I also think the fresh strawberries in the actual batter contributed to the sogginess of the Strawberry Guava mochi waffle, which is a problem the Blueberry didn't have as much. I also much prefer the syrup on the side instead of the powdered sugar topping, and they are super nice about this swap if you ask! Lastly, we noticed a side menu posted on the truck offering creme brûlée and I had to try the Ube Pandan version. It was very decadent and creamy. Delicious and with a perfect crunch top. I didn't enjoy it so much that I'd spend $11 on it again, especially since it's something you should enjoy on the spot and in one sitting, but it was definitely a "treat yourself" moment and if you love ube, I recommend trying it at least once. One thing that absolutely tickles me is that they have a dog menu featuring a carnivore entrée, herbivore entrée, and smoothie option. I don't have my own dog but if I did I'd spoil the crap out of them here. Please bring your dog and give them extra scratches for me! read more

SPRO is a food truck located in the corner of the Spark Social SF lot. They offer some pretty tasty and unique menu options that are a good fusion of Californian cuisine and Asian (primarily Japanese) influence. On a Saturday morning, we arrived to a moderate line; roughly 4-5 groups of people ahead of us. For two, we ordered the strawberry guava mochi waffle, umami bomb toast, and superfruit smash smoothie. Strawberry guava mochi waffle -- Light and bouncy. There's a nice smooth texture and a bit of a chew with every bite. I definitely tasted the strawberry flavor (think strawberry Pocky sticks), but I couldn't taste any bit of the guava. Overall, the waffle wasn't too sweet, which is a plus in my book. The powdered sugar and fresh strawberries on top made it a cute, sweet breakfast snack. It's about the size of 1 waffle (cut into 4 slice) for $10, and it's honestly pretty small for you what get. I wouldn't get full off of this by itself. Umami bomb toast -- Bomb. Dot. Com. I loved this toast. The savoriness from the fish roe combined with the creaminess of the avocado with the added heat from the togarashi was a complete win in my book. My only qualm with this dish was the portion. For $10, you get a TINY slice of bread (cut into 2...which makes it look even tinier). I get that fish roe is expensive, but you DEFINITELY can't make a fulfilling meal out of this. Eat this more as a snack for your snack. Superfruit smash smoothie -- Unremarkable. I barely remembered I got this smoothie Overall, I think SPRO has a lot of tasty dishes with some creative twists and flare. But price wise, it's a bit much for what you get -- at first they seem pretty reasonable, until your plate comes out and portions are about half or 3/4 of what a regular entree is. read more

If indulging in high quality beverages requires me to go out less often for those afternoon pick-me-ups, please count me in. SPRO is a game changer - I think it's my new coffee place. I'm picky about where I spend my money for beverages, and I just keep coming back for the drinks here. So far, I have tried their following three lattes: pixie dust, black swan, and indian summer. Out of the three, I prefer black swan the most (though I would probably order pixie dust when I'm feeling spicy or the indian summer when I'm feeling particularly sweet). I also ventured out to try their strawberry guava mochi waffle. it was worth every single dollar (all 11 of them). Although I'm not exactly sure where the "guava cream" came into this delight, there is a perfectly subtle taste of guava in each strawberry kissed bite. The waffles were not too sweet, with a crispy exterior and surprisingly moist interior that kept me swooning for more. read more

If you are looking for non traditional and unique coffee drinks, then this is the place to go to! Now some of the options are much better than others, but it is all really your own Palate. I have been slowly trying the different drinks and do enjoy the different ingredients they put in it. Their breakfast food has always been great. We have tried their pastries and sandwiches. They are generous with the amount they add into their bagel sandwiches. To top it off the staff is very friendly. We have only been to this location in Mission bay. We like the fact that it is easily accessible and has outdoor seating. read more

Great spot for a morning weekend family meet-up! At 9am on a Saturday, this is the only location open at Spark, which means the park is empty and we have our choice of seats. We got seats in a nice partially covered area that was reserved at noon for a birthday (we had to leave around 11:30am). There was plenty of open space for our kids to scoot and bike around. THE WAIT At 9:30am a short line was building up at SPRO. Luckily I was at the front of this line. My coffee took a few minutes and the food took 20. THE COST $51.18 total for 1 coffee, 1 cookie, and 3 entrees. Totally worth it. MUST-HAVES Umami bomb by far!! THE FOOD * Matcha white chocolate cookie ($3.50) - 3 stars Good flavor but a little hard. * Island Hop ($6.00) - 4 stars Nice earthy flavor! * Strawberry guava mochi waffle ($11) - 3.5 stars Unique and tasty. Hoping for a little more crisp. * Pastrami melt ($12.00) - 3.5 stars Flavorful meat but a tad dry, not many toppings so it wasn't the most interesting pastrami (no photo). * Umami bomb ($12) - 5 stars Omg this avocado toast was amazing, the truffle was the perfect touch, along with the hint of spice. read more

I am okay with paying $10 for their avocado toast. Perfectly crispy outside, soft and moist inside, and thick sourdough with fresh avocado with toppings that were extremely flavorful.

PANDEMIC POST SPRO is that red truck in the corner of Spark Social SF, and over the years it has attracted a following of local regulars. This is for good reason--the food and drinks are tasty and creative, and the owners share their story well. \\ strawberry guava pillow - the strawberries were thinly sliced and very intricately placed - i don't remember if the description said they were fresh strawberries, but they didn't look very fresh... was it the glaze? is that how thinly sliced strawberries become when baked? looks aside, it was still tasty and juicy - the guava ties it all together - the pastry was overall delicious and reminded me of seasonal strawberry breads that Paris Baguette will offer in South Korea and Japan in late March - my only gripe is that this pillow was quite flat. it was likely because of the weight of the strawberries on top because the corners were delightfully flaky. i wonder how it would be if the strawberries were placed onto the pastry after baking... \\ hojicha - hōjicha is a classic Japanese roasted tea. Spro's take on it is smooth and creamy and a little sweet to augment the rich roast aroma - offered hot or cold \\ geisha - matcha latte with fragrant honey. there's no mistaking it--there's definitely honey in this I'm often pretty critical of fusion-esque concepts... but these flavors shine, and i haven't seen SPRO make any claims that these are "modernized" or "improved" or "Americanized" renditions of traditional dishes. These food items and drinks aren't statements beyond themselves. They're simply yum. (: I look forward to trying the Umami Bomb on a future visit... but my developing SPRO habit has started to take a toll on my budgeting. read more
