    Strawberry matcha
    Julia P.

    Wake cup is such an underrated matcha spot. Small location but sweet man working. Their strawberry matcha is amazing. Tastes fresh & not too sweet. I haven't tried the food just yet but I've been multiple times for their matcha & it's the real deal.

    Iced Matcha Latte w/ Pistachio Foam + Boba - 4.5 stars, wonderful! Mon afternoon 2025-06-16

    Cute spot for a coffee/boba/light meal! Parking found on Masonic just south of Oak. That block right below Oak is 2-hour without permits, FYI. My friend enjoyed her smoked salmon open sandwich. I got an Iced Matcha Latte w/ Pistachio Foam + Boba, total $8.25 with tax/tip. It was delicious, the foam was wonderfully thick and a perfect balance of salty & sweet. 4.5 stars.

    Matcha W/ Salted Cheese Foam (pistachio)
    Kimi C.

    the cutest little hole in the wall kinda store! i came in not expecting much but was glad to be pleasantly surprised. the matcha definitely comes through and blends well with the pistachio foam on top. speaking of the foam, it doesn't feel like a chunk of cheese the way others do. it's very smooth and adds to the nutty flavor of the matcha. the staff are also very friendly! i came in about half an hour before closing and the chairs were already stacked on tables etc. but they didn't hesitate to offer bringing them down for me. i declined because i wasn't staying but i think it speaks well to their customer service. for studying: it's definitely a tight squeeze for groups bigger than 1-2 people but there is wifi so you could definitely get some work done here.

    Yummy customized drinks!

    Delicious food, fast service. So many choices! The lady behind the counter was so friendly & helpful, go here, you won't regret it!

    At Wake Cup right now--great vibe and solid drinks. Coffee is smooth and well-made, and the spot has a chill Haight Street feel. Service is friendly, just a little slow during busy times. Overall, a nice place to hang and grab a good cup

    matcha latte with pistachio cream, Brown Sugar Matcha Latte

    Tiny, but amazing lil coffee shop on Haight! Stopped by with a friend and got the Matcha Latte with Pistachio Cream (seasonal item I think) and the Brown Sugar Matcha. They were so good!! Never had matcha with pistachio cream but it was seriously amazing. Sweet and great flavor! This place has an impressive menu of specialty drinks, whether you want matcha, boba, tea, or coffee. Minimal seating inside but it wasn't busy at all when we came at 2pm on a Sunday.

    Supreme Avocado Toast
    Lynn F.

    I've walked by this cafe forever, never seeing past the metal security gate. 11:30a Thursday: Open for business. Great little place with a cheerful yellow & white striped awning, 2 weathered cafe tables outside, both currently occupied by women eating their takeout from another store. There's 2 counters, one along the window so I can stare at them disapprovingly. Whatever, I've done it myself when a place isn't crowded. But still. Wake Cup had a steady line for take-out, & by noon most of the chairs were taken. Staff is friendly, food comes out fast. I overheard a lot of orders for sweetened coffee. Talking to you Brown Sugar Latte. The cafe has an extensive breakfast, lunch & beverage menu. On to the main event. Avocado Toast. Ordered the Supreme, topped with bacon & fried egg. Egg a little runny for me, but I never asked for it more cooked. Decent amount of avocado, sprinkled with seeds over non-artisanal bread. That means prices way more reasonable, & bonus, bread Actually Toasted!! My tea latte was perfectly mixed, presented in a large cup, enough to Wake cUp. Nice alternative to the long lines at some of the other places. If you're in the Upper Haight Wake Up is a solid choice. I'll definitely return. Support Local!

    Very cute coffee shop! Passed by this place while on a walk and was happy to see that I could order a lavender latte! I ordered an iced lavender latte with whole milk. It was good! I didn't do a good job of mixing the syrup/the overall drink so I sadly got past all the sweetness in a few sips. They also have soy milk (no extra charge I believe) and other milk alternatives (I think an extra charge). My husband ordered a hot vanilla latte with soy milk. He really enjoyed it and appreciated that it was neither initially too hot to drink nor overly sweet.

    Wake Cup Wrap

    Great place for a quick breakfast! I ordered the Matcha Latte with Pistachio Cold Foam. Best matcha I've had in awhile! The pistachio complimented the matcha flavor without overpowering it. The Wake Cup Wrap was also delicious and a good serving for one person. My friend tried the iced Spanish Latte and Lox Bagel. She really enjoyed the bagel but said the Spanish Latte tasted a little burnt and it was harder to mix in the condensed milk at the bottom. Our order came out fast and it was not crowded so we were able to sit inside at the tables.

    Iced Crème Brûlée  Coffee Latte

    Crème brûlée latte was SOO good. I walked in just because I was passing by but this is definitely going to be a must stop whenever I'm in the city.

    our drinks we threw away

    my roomates and i went to this place, and it was so disappointing. we ordered two thai milk teas and a strawberry matcha, and it was so genuinely nasty. It was not only super watery but it tasted like rusty sewer water. It looked delicious but the taste was so unbearable

    cute little spot for breakfast sandwiches. my friend and i each got our own croissant sandwich. i got mine with ham, egg, cheese and my friend got hers with egg, avocado, and mushroom. there's a small bar seating inside but otherwise, seating is limited.

I walked about 30 minutes and arrived too early as the store did not open until noon. I walked out to Geary Blvd. and there was a lot of construction as I explored the area. I returned with only 14 minutes left before opening. The lady opening the store was raising the blinds on the windows facing the street. She unlocked the door shortly after noon and directed me to the kiosk to order. I knew I wanted the peach oolong milk tea at 75% sweet with no ice. It had been quite windy on the walk. Because of a coconut allergy in the family I had to ask if the popular mango pomelo sago had any coconut. Unfortunately, it has coconut (milk or oil?). As soon as I heard coconut, it was a no go. I wasn't familiar with pomelo and the lady told me it was like grapefruit. I still wanted to order a mango drink and went instead with the mango smoothie also 75% sweet with less ice. The customer following me asked about alternative milks which they do have. I overheard that they have oat and almond milk. Both drinks were excellent. The milk tea was not too sweet and I appreciated the peach bits in the drink. The mango smoothie was really creamy.

The menu seemed pretty standard with classic milk and fruit teas with a few seasonal specialties. We placed our order at the kiosk and waited almost 15 minutes for our drinks despite being the only customers in the shop. I ordered the mango pomelo sago drink since it was one of the few caffeine-free drinks on the menu, and it was tasty! The mango + pomelo + milk was an unexpected combination, but the sweet + tangy + creamy flavors paired together surprisingly well. I also liked the textural elements from the sago and fresh pomelo and mango. My mom and brother also really liked their fruit teas, so we will most likely be back soon.

I'm mildly lactose and my stomach is totally happy and in agreement with coconut milk. I also had a sip of my friend's matcha latte. It was very smooth and not water down matcha like other places.

    First time trying this place because they had a mango sticky rice drink on their menu. Then the…read morecreme brûlée drink caught my eye too. I ended up wanting to try both. Creme Brûlée was beyond amazing, and I can see why it's one of their most ordered drinks :) the mango sticky rice was kind of a disappointment. It just tasted like mango juice mixed with rice milk, and a few grains of rice. After trying it from other places, I just expected more sticky rice in the drink. Highly recommend the creme brûlée though! The pudding bits were my favorite part. I went in the evening around 6pm and was lucky enough to find parking right out front. It wasn't too busy inside and I was able to place my order on the tablet fairly quickly. Once placed, my drinks came out pretty quick. If you wish to enjoy your drink inside, there's plenty of seating. Mostly hard wooden chairs and one corner with softer cushion seats, if that's what you prefer.

We didn't have to wait in line to order, but all of the tables inside were packed. I was in need of something light and refreshing, so I decided to try the lychee IPA (non-alc). My drink was prepared promptly, and it immediately quenched my thirst. The lychee flavor tasted fresh, and its sweetness was tempered by the subtle hops flavor. The drink was also lightly carbonated with just the right amount of fizz. The menu wasn't as extensive as those of the larger, more established boba shops, and I wish there had been more fruit-flavored teas - especially for the summer. Nevertheless, I can't wait to try other tea varieties on my next visit.
