Went on a Wednesday morning excited to try a coffee shop I haven’t tried before. Not busy at all, was able to find a spot to sit and enjoy my coffee. Service was super friendly and my latte was deeeelish. Atmosphere was meh as it felt kind of cold and not warming. Personally not my favorite vibe, but may suit others. I did like how it was quiet. Otherwise super friendly staff. Not a fan of the kiosks either as you go to coffee shops to interact with the baristas. I really enjoyed the barista that offered to help me instead of me having to use the kiosk. Overall love everything except atmosphere which is why I’m giving it a 2/5. IMO they should get rid of the kiosks.
I ordered a mocha, and loved the chocolate blend with the espresso, it's a mocha that i would go again to have. Service was good overall, i'm not a big fan of ordering on the screen because it lacks the human contact, it's one way for businesses to save money instead of hiring more employees. I could tell the barista was overwhelmed but his mocha was superb. The ambience is great, loved the design and seating, I don't go much to cafe that don't have outlets, i understand the business purpose behind it but I won't be going there again to drink and sit unless i want something on the go. I like sitting in a cafe and be able to plug my laptop and finsih my work
I found the staff friendly+professional and the drip/batch brew coffee to be very good for the money. I also had the vegan oatmeal+walnut chocolate chip which was tasty. I recommend the place given its amble size for leisure or work, the nice coffee, and non caffeinated selection. The cafe has been running for over 10 years, through tumultuous times in SF, so the fact it’s still here is a sign it’s doing right for its customers.

Really great coffee! I loved the balance flavors of coffee in this place. Coffee is perfectly creamy with right amount of bitterness. Tried their latte, cappuccino and mushroom croissant. Loved them all. If you are in the neighborhood, you need to try this place for sure! Ambience is excellent with indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staff.
