What an incredibly cozy little coffee shop. It's tiny, with just a few seats, decorated every inch from floor to ceiling. They had two people taking orders at one register, and our order came out in like... A minute. Crazy fast service. We only got Vietnamese coffee, which was cold and strong and delicious. But the rest of the menu looked great as well, I wish we could have tried it all.

Cozy little coffee shop that perfectly matches the colorful character and vibes of the surrounding Haight-Ashbury district. The folks working here are friendly and caring, and the prices are pretty good for SF. They serve coffee, boba, and breakfast burritos and bagels. I got the Audrey Hepburn special, it was the right amount of sweetness without being overly sweet. A couple of things to note: there's no wifi and limited seating. Nice local spot, I would come here again.

I come to this cafe everyday and honestly it’s one of my favorite places to enjoy the atmosphere of the city; it’s the perfect spot to people watch and to chat with friends with delicious drinks & gelato! It is truly such a family here and everyone is always such a joy. I always change my order because everything is soooooo good but if you come you at least have give the notorious specialities a try and they are more than willing to adjust your drink how you want!

Love this place! Super cute shop that has good vibes. The staff was very nice and helpful. A wonderful selection of drinks available to choose from. They also have good selection of danishes to accompany your morning cup of coffee. We tried the blueberry scone and it was probably the best scone we have ever had. 10/10 recommend this place!

Such a great coffee find in San Francisco. The location was amazing and the iced drink I got was so yummy! I got the John Lennon and would highly recommend it. I got to enjoy my drink outside and meet a regular named Hector. All in all, a terrific experience and will definitely be coming back.

I got the Columbian caramel frappe with oat milk and it was delicious!! The staff was so nice & service was fast :) the aux and vibes were also so good. It is a pretty tight space though, so I would consider taking out vs eating in. Price was reasonable for SF coffee prices.

Just the best espresso on Haight Street, or in Cole Valley. It's a great shot with no bitterness - the way coffee should be. Staff is competent, professional and friendly.

Lovely old school coffee bar with a fun San Francisco ambiance! Not as much of a sit down spot, but there are couple tables and chairs. Delicious chai and unique specialty drinks for the sweet tooths among us.

It’s a cute cozy coffee shop in the Haight street. I genuinely liked their set-up how they built it vintage yet cool and the vibe of the street just adds to the whole experience making it just PERFECT. Although, the initial response was nice but it turned a bit average as in I wanted to take an ice cream for a family member they didn’t have a take-away box. But they did manage to pack it for me, I appreciate that. So, I’d add that just as a suggestion to keep box or something for people if they wish to pack it for you. Great price, they are reasonable. When we got the double scoop, it seemed it’s less for two people but it wasn’t. They give you good quantity and the flavor is WORTH EVERY PENNY. They have a good variety on the flavor as in Strawberry (that was good) then blueberry cheesecake, mango sorbet & many more. I’d have to mention the people at the counter or cashier were nice and patient. But they could have become a little more interactive or just extend Options for a better customer service because this coffee shop has potential to be on top. They have coffee, boba tea , cookies&muffins smoothie and breakfast options. Anyone in Haight exploring, do give this shop a try.

I was not impressed nor was I upset at my experience in this coffee shop on Haight. The caramel frappe lacked a caffeinated coffee flavor and appeared to be quite literally milk and caramel while the green tea was a nice light refreshing version of a frappe. The ambiance inside reminds me of the home goods section of any Ross store across the United States with a multitude of coffee themed and European themed imagery for home decor. The shop honestly felt a bit cluttered. They also offered boba teas and a selection of ice cream. I am sure that the small business owner has put their heart and soul into this Cafe and I mean no Ill will towards them, might I suggest focusing in on one thing this Cafe does really well and really doing that one thing well, I don't think the frappes are those items to focus on. Additionally, might I suggest that the decor makes this already tight courtered Cafe feel that much smaller. The staff was unenthusiastic and offered nothing to enhance my visit. 2 grande sized frappes totaled $14, plus $1 tip. I was disappointed as I had hoped to get a wonderful small biz care and comfort vibe from my visit and it all fell very flat. I don't think I would return and I also would not be likely to recommend.

Very average coffee, dark and bitter. You’re probably better off missing this place. Not very comfortable, off vibes and not very clean.

Overpriced and not good. Ordered a matcha with just a bit of vainilla and it just tasted like vainilla ice cream. Oh and it was $7

People were nice, but the caramel latte tasted like coffee flavored sugar milk. I think this latte is going to put me to sleep instead of wake me up. For that price, I'd rather got to Flywheel Coffeebor something similar.

The employees are sweet but there’s an old lady that’s just mean if you take too long to order or want to sit at a table for more than 5 minutes. I was waiting for someone while trying to save a table for us, not even 5 minutes and she told me to wait for them outside so other people can sit. But thing is there were literally other tables for them to use, and they weren’t even looking to use a table yet lol. She pretty much ruined my day because I don’t understand what that was about, but there are other places along the street that wouldn’t treat you like a nuisance.

Worst Boba I've ever had in my life, the boba were hard as rocks and inedible, the Thai tea didn't taste like tea at all and just tasted like brown sugar. Not worth 7.55 at all
