Same thing
Edeline O.

I came here and it was AMAZING. Nice people and the vegan donuts were good. Get the Lebanese hand pies

Ordering Window

What a delightful business. The butterfly joint is named after a wood joinery method and is attached to a woodworking studio for kids. The owner is so friendly, passionate about good coffee, and teaching young kids empowering life skills. The cookies are delightful too; snag one before they sell out. Please support this business!

I LOVE this place. It's such a cute hole in the way, neighborhood spot. Food/Drinks: -Matcha Latte: good flavor with a hint of sweetness -Latte: delicious hot & iced -they have oat milk! -Gluten Free Donut Mandarin flavor was delicious with a crunchy outside and a soft inside. Logistics: -takeaway only -street parking only -they take card

Lovely little walk up coffee window. Delicious. Friendly. Reasonable. Had the foghorn latte and a fiber cookie. No complaints

We tried out the donut muffin and two of their vegan pies. All tasty. I also got an Americano. Cool kiosk window is the Cafe part of The Butterfly Joint, a woodworking and design studio for children. Service is friendly.

Order here

Cool little spot to get a legit cup of coffee in the Outer Richmond. It's run out of a woodworking shop/studio, you order at the service window. NGL, best cappuccino I've had in a long time! I ordered the Columbiana or Columbiano espresso as a cappuccino. I met Erin who was an absolute sweetheart. Super friendly and calls regulars by their names. I'd come here all the time if I lived in the Outer Richmond. 1000% recommend this neighborhood joint especially if you're a coffee purist. It's simply really good coffee. I think they have some trendy/gimmicky lattes on the menu also which I can't speak to but I'll definitely be coming back for their cappuccino.

Mochi donut and my mocha

They now sell pastries and coffee! We walked down here to order a little morning pick me up. I ordered a mocha and a mochi donut. The mocha had a spicy kick to it. Delicious. This is the first time I had a mochi donut and it was very good. Service is quick and friendly. We sat on their handmade benches while we waited for our drinks. Would definitely come back. This is the only place nearby where you can buy coffee and pastries.

Sweet Glory does not announce itself. No loud signage, no line out the door begging for your…read moreattention. Just a quiet marble table, a tiny vase with two yellow flowers, and a slice of matcha crepe cake that makes you forget what you were stressed about. I came in on a weekday afternoon and ordered the matcha crepe cake and a passion fruit refresher. The cake is the kind that looks almost too precise to eat. Dozens of paper thin layers stacked with the kind of patience most people reserve for things that actually matter. The matcha flavor is real, not the green tea powder imposter you get everywhere else. The drinks are thoughtful too. Not sweet for the sake of being sweet. You can tell someone actually tasted these before putting them on the menu. The space itself earns its own mention. Marble counters, natural light pouring in from the street, good music at a volume that lets you actually have a conversation. It feels like someone designed it for the experience, not the Instagram photo, which ironically makes it very photogenic. 4.7 stars on Yelp with nearly 300 reviews and I understand every single one of them. If you are in the Inner Sunset and you pass this place without stopping, that is on you.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

They also have a fun salted egg yolk latte which I thought was very tasty. I tried the roasted corn cheesecake which I really enjoyed! Good texture and thought the corn flavor paired very well. One drink and one slice of cake came to $20 so it's not cheap! But a fun treat
