Came here to try the lattes and roll cakes on a Sunday morning and saw that they were sold out of their scones and matcha roll cake already. I ended up getting a an iced latte einspanner with the raspberry roll cake and my friend got the black sesame latte. The lattes were great and I enjoyed the einspanner. The black sesame latte isn't by default caffeinated but you can add a shot of espresso. In general both were a bit sweet for my liking but overall pretty good. The roll cake is made from rice flour making them gluten free. The cake is pretty light and it's filled with a cream cheese mixture. Overall it was good and not too sweet but I wish the cake was fluffier along with the filling. The space is nice and welcoming. There were plenty of people sitting with laptops at the tables so if you can find a spot it's pretty good to work at. read more

Updated with more photos, including half of the charming alcove. :) (I couldn't get a photo of the other half since there were people sitting there who probably didn't want to be in a photo posted online.) The Ssuk and Black Sesame Einspanner are soooo good. They both had a nice, strong flavor and thick cream on top. The raspberry and red bean roll cakes were delicious too. read more

this is the worst coffee shop i have ever been to. not even exaggerating. when i first walked in, i already saw a roach. anyways, i ordered a matcha latte. worst matcha ive ever had. it was bland and it didn't even taste like matcha. the workers were also really rude to me and had the worst attitude. never going here again. read more

Heard good things about this place but had a hard time finding it due to the relatively lowkey exterior. The interior, however, is nice and spacious, with a relatively warm ambiance with ample seating and okay service. I had initially gone in for a drink, but decided to get a sesame brownie to take home. Unfortunately it became a little mushy (and some of it got on my hand while I was taking the BART home in spite of the sealing), but the taste was alright. I'm glad I was able to get this photo of it before the frosting got smeared around the side. Overall, it was an alright experience. The coffee was okay, nothing particularly memorable, and the brownie had a sweet taste that still maintained its sesame flavor. It might've been a little sweet for my taste, but I'm sure their other desserts, which are more akin to the kind of sweets I usually gravitate towards, will be better. read more

I had The Buoy bookmarked for a while and was excited to finally try them! However, maybe my expectations were too high, but I was honestly disappointed with my experience. I came in on a Friday afternoon and ordered the Matcha Roll Cake. I think the cake slice was on the more expensive side; it didn't feel super worth it to me. The cake itself also was just okay. I could taste the matcha, but the overall flavor was super subtle, and I didn't love the texture of the cake or cream. I think both could have been lighter and fluffier. The environment had a lot of tables and I saw a lot of people studying, but it didn't feel very warm or charming--if anything, it felt more dreary. Overall, I think there are much better dessert spots in SF, and I wouldn't prioritize The Buoy over other options. read more

What a delight to find this beautiful new café/restaurant near my neighborhood! The staff is friendly and takes pride in their work. The interior and the ambiance is just lovely, with plenty of seating. Buoy seems committed to creating a comfortable third space for San Franciscans to get a little work done or meet up with friends. This was such a great discovery for me in the midst of the June Gloom. Thank you, Buoy, for the cosy retreat that allowed me to get some journaling and planning done! read more

Flat slates bread? Very disappointing Regular customers know what you give. 3rd time visit to buy salted butter role. First 2 times, it was excellent. Chewy, soft, tender and rich on top and bottom crunchy. Almost addicted but 3rd time which was today, disappointed. It clearly taste old, not fresh and flat. I won't come back for long time but eventually be back, then hopefully you give me the fresh, fluffy ones. Reason why I gave 4stars, because we all make mistakes. read more

The Buoy is a small, Korean cafe based in Hayes. In terms of the space and the vibes of the cafe, it does a great job. It has high ceilings (probably a reflection of the fact that it's in a new luxury building) and it has this massive bar with great lighting. It feels sleek in that particular way. I will say, it seemed clear that they were training new people when I went and I got the black sesame latte which tastes... off? It doesn't have a particularly nutty flavor and it tastes a bit artificial which feels like kind of a red flag to me, but the pastries seem really good (which I didn't get any of). The eispanner's also seem potentially good but I also didn't get those. I will say, in terms of a cafe to work out of during the day, it fits the exact bill. There's a fair amount of seating, free wifi, and a ton of space so if this is the spot that you're looking for. read more

Nice cafe in Hayes valley. It's chill and spacious and really clean. It has a nice vibe and great for coffee/pastries and desserts. It can be a little confusing when you walk in if no one is near the bar on where to order, but the service was great. Greeted once I walked towards the bar. The bar area is where you order when you walk in. The vegan garlic bun was paired perfectly with an iced latte. Lots of nice options to choose from their menu. read more

This place is so close to where I work, I can't believe I've never noticed it. Located on Franklin, you won't really notice this place driving by, but the cross street would be lily, right across from Nakama Sushi. What caught my eye about this place were their roll cakes. At the time, they had matcha, red bean, and a red velvet roll cake sold by the slice. I was a little bummed they didn't have any black sesame treats, but I'll just have to return for that someday. If you want a whole roll cake, you will need to place an order in advance for pick up. Treats are made from organic Korean rice flour and natural food coloring. Desserts are not too sweet either, which is the ultimate Asian person's approval LOL I have not tried their lattes yet, so I will update my review when I do. The café itself is very spacious, with lots of room for people to work, study, or just enjoying a quick coffee date. the interior design is such a vibeee. So aesthetically pleasing, giving boujee boutique hotel. They have a small intimate area with couches and plush lounge chairs. The service was a little slow for orders to-go, but the staff were very nice and I know they get super busy. all in all, great experience. I might have to schedule a couple of in person meetings here some time! read more

This Korean inspired cafe is a new SF gem for my partner and I. We have been obsessed with ordering the Suuk latte (hot, with no caffeine) and Einspanner Latte. I've had a number of Einspanner lattes, and I find that this is probably the best Einspanner latte I've had in the Bay Area - 10/10 for both. The matcha rollcake is also pretty good, probably 7/10. Interior is also incredibly cute. There is plenty of booth/paired table seating, a bar of seats next to the baristas, and separate couch seating on the right. Fair warning, it does get pretty busy - so seats might be hard to come by depending on when you come in. We've seen a couple of dogs inside, so it seems pet friendly - but don't quote me on that. There are also plenty of folks WFH here (Free WiFi). Buoy is one of our official favorites/go-to's in the Bay Area! read more

My previous review has been taken down for violating 'terms of service,' whatever that means. The service here sucks! my copy pasted review is below I've been here during the day before and was really looking forward to trying out their bar menu, but the staff completely ruined our evening. We came in as walk-ins and were told there would be seating at 7:30 PM, and that we'd receive a text when our table was ready. 7:30 came and went without a message, so we walked up to check in - only to find out that the host had typed our phone number in wrong. How do you manage to hear a "5" as a "1"???? To make matters worse, she didn't even bother to apologize for her mistake. No attempt to rectify the situation, no simple "sorry about that," just total indifference. If your front-of-house staff can't double-check a phone number or offer basic courtesy when they mess up, you're doing something seriously wrong during the hiring process. Utterly disappointed. And even more disappointed that this review was deleted! Can't deal with bad reviews? The hostess gave us the GEN Z stare on top of everything else as well! (looking completely clueless) read more

Buoy is a Korean inspired cafe that shares the same space as another Korean inspired spot, Jang. The space has a very minimial clean look. Got an Einspanner Latte and a Black Sesame Brownie. The latte was really nice and not too sweet. The brownie had bits of mochi in it which I'm not too sure that it contributes positively to the taste and texture. Also, not sure if the brownie is also made with rice flour but the texture is not brownie-like at all, which isn't a positive or negative for me, just different. read more

I've been wanting to try this Korean-inspired cafe for so long and finally got to this weekend. WOW. It's gorgeous inside, the interior decor has a mix of minimalist with antique, and music is at an appropriate level. Staff isn't overly-friendly though, kind of just there to answer questions without that inviting aura honestly, but this can be overlooked. This cafe hits all the right boxes - free wifi, lots of seating, cute sectioned off area with comfortable seating for socializing, great drinks, amazing pastries. The only downside is the same downside for every business in Hayes which is just parking but never an issue on Sundays. I need to just bring special attention to their black sesame brownie because it's the best thing I've eaten in a long time. Very similar to a small cookie business (Christine's Cookies) Oreo black sesame cookie but with a really nice subtlety sweet black sesame frosting. I want everyone to try this and thank me later. Raspberry einspanner was a miss unfortunately, just too bitter but everything else we tried was pretty good (matcha roll cake, black sesame latte) Excited to try more~ read more

So impressed by this cafe!!! Such a cute little spot with beautiful interior - lots of seating, chill but good vibes, and many options for food and drinks. I got the black cocoa mocha which was really yummy and perfectly sweet for me (but it was a bit pricey). My friend got the latte einspanner which was absolutely delicious and I'd love to get that next time too when it's warmer out, since it can only be made iced. We also got the mushroom tofu panini which was good overall but had more mustard flavor than expected. Service was fast and friendly! Would love to come back here and hangout or work! read more

Love Buoy for coworking since it has outlets and restrooms but the only thing is it does close relatively early (3-4pm depending on the day). I've been told it gets too busy to find tables sometimes but I haven't had issues the times I've gone. Below are the things I've tried so far: - Mugwort latte: 5/5, one of my favorite things here. Super unique and the right sweetness. Would highly recommend pairing this with one of their roll cakes - Matcha raspberry cookie: 1/5, too sweet for me on its own, and it felt dense without being soft or crispy. - Roll cakes: 5/5 so good! not super sweet, cake is soft, and the flavors go well together read more

I recently tried Buoy during lunch. I got their Maitake Mushroom Panini and the Pineapple Chamomile Cooler. Both delicious. Also the interior of the restaurant is beautiful. I brought the fig scone and the pumpkin cupcake home for the hubby. I tasted them both but somehow these gluten free sweets do not agree with me. I got a slight heart burn from them. Service was friendly. I would come back for the drinks and to enjoy the space. Located on Franklin St. between Oak St. and Market St. (Outside can be a bit crazy sometimes. Last time I walked by, a huge mattress was dump near their door so I had to step out into traffic to walk to the restaurant. Unfortunately, typical in this part of SF.) read more

I coworked at this dessert/coffee/drink shop with some friends on a Friday afternoon. The atmosphere was really lively and I loved all the decorations (the alcohol bottles and vinyl records). There's also plenty of seating and outlets. Unfortunately, I wasn't too impressed with what I ordered: the Raspberry Omija-Berry Fritz. It was a bit too sour and not in a good way like sour candy or some fruits. I tried my friend's Raspberry Einspanner, which I also did not like. I couldn't taste the coffee over the raspberry. Maybe I just need to try something not raspberry-flavored next time. I really appreciate how everything is gluten-free and how much care went into creating a space that is both comfy and functional. I just wish the drinks were tastier! read more

Went at around 1:00 PM on a Saturday and it was packed. After waiting 15ish minutes at a bar seat, a table with outlets opened up and I was able to move there. The ssuk einspanner (3.5/5) had a really subtle earthy taste and it wasn't really for me. Not bad but it wasn't to my liking. I might try the latte einspanner next time. The green tea roll cake (4.5/5) was really delectable and I would come back just to eat it again. Unlike a lot of other roll cakes, the cake part is almost like mochi. Not sure if it's made of mochi but as someone who isn't the biggest fan of mochi, this cake had just the right amount of bounce and chew. Best part is it's not dry at all which typically is the case for other roll cakes. The whipped cream on top and the green tea cream inside were very light, not too sweet, and very creamy. Points docked off for the nuts inside which I'm not a fan of and could've preferred it without. Would definitely come back to try the paninis. Wish they could close later as it's a great study spot. read more

Buoy had me at Ssuk Latte. Ssuk is an herb called mugwort which has a myriad of health benefits including: - Relieving stress - Boosting energy - Improving sleep - Easing female disorders Y'all going to have to make gallon jugs of this STAT! Opening on 8/9/24, Buoy is a new Korean Dessert Café serving baked goods, tea, and coffee in the former Le Fantastique space. It's from the owner behind Rice Flour (Korean roll cakes). Rice Flour also has pop-ups up in Sushi Hakko in The Marina. Buoy shares a space with Jang (Korean-Japanese Resto) which is only open for dinner. Open for take out and dine-in. No outdoor seating. M E N U Healthy Korean Rice Flour Desserts + Baked Goods (gluten-free): Roll cakes, scones, cupcakes, tiramisu, and cookies (single serving $4.5-$12). For drinks: Tea (no matcha), coffee, and Korean trending drinks like einspänner (Vienna coffee w/ whipped cream) and ssuk (mugwort) latte. Soy and oat milk available for a surcharge. D R I N K * Ssuk [Mugwort] Latte, caffeine free ($6): https://tinyurl.com/ynfmv4m6 I've had Korean rice cakes (Dduk) made with mugwort but this is the first time I've had it in latte form. I don't think they even offer ssuk latte in the Santa Clara area yet. Pretty latte art. Lowkey reminds me of a light matcha latte with an earthy milky creaminess and grassy, herbal undertones. B A K E D G O O D S / D E S S E R T * Matcha Roll Cake (Slice-$8, Half Roll-$26, Whole Roll-$42): https://tinyurl.com/muya7r9w - Whole cakes require a pre-order The Swiss style roll cake is made with a pillowy soft plain and matcha checkered chiffon cake filled with matcha infused whipped cream and a thin layer of matcha ganache. The mildly sweet flavor perfectly balances the earthy, bitter, and savory notes of the matcha. A very light dessert but deliciously satisfying...if you're into AZN style cakes. Even if you eat several slices, it won't put you in a diabetic coma the way American cakes can. To nitpick, there could have been more whipped cream filling as there was an air pocket. * Ssuk [Mugwort] Cookie ($4.50) The levain-style cookie was thiccc and crunchy with an earthy nutty flavor similar to black sesame without the grittiness. Lightly sweetened. Crowned with a roasted macadamia nut for a rich, buttery bite. S E R V I C E Super sweet owner and staff. A M B I A N C E Upscale, moody, and minimalist with a large counter, 8 tables tops, and a lounge area in the front. P A R K I N G Metered street parking is not too challenging. Overall, if you're looking for healthy and unique Korean trending drinks and desserts in the city, def hit up Buoy! read more

Buoy has Instagram pretty desserts but I didn't really like any of the things we tried. The gluten-free roll cakes were dry and dense, with the matcha flavor being marginally better than the red bean. The matcha raspberry jam cookie (gf) was very chalky and the ssuk latte had a strong herbal flavor that reminded me of Chinese medicine. I was also surprised to see how dark and dreary it was inside - they keep the blinds shut even during the day. Not an ideal setting for enjoying coffee and desserts. read more

Buoy is a modern cafe that offers Korean inspired brunch & lunch consisting of paninis, French toast, salads, cakes and cookies! They also serve lattes, teas, sodas and einspanners. We ordered an iced Jujube chai latte, pina colada soda and the Bam (Chestnut) French toast to share. It took about 30 mins for the toast to arrive since they make it fresh but worth the wait! The French toast was soft, and warm when you slice it opened. Inside was filled with chestnut puree as it was also layered on top with chestnuts. Perfect for brunch and a must try item here! I enjoyed the Jujube chai, I love a hint of spiciness in my chai! This drinks got it! The colada soda tasted like a tropical Dole Whip. A good cafe to stop in for drinks, brunch or to chill! read more

I found this on Yelp Hot and New and had to stop by! At the corner of Franklin and Market (I walked 30 minutes here but it's a public transit and biking hub. I will also bike next time probably), Buoy provides a vibey oasis. It feels like a lounge with records and sake bottles as decor. There's a bar area and plenty of lush comfy seating, including some more private nooks and corners and crannies. The bathroom is very clean. I enjoyed my slice of matcha roll cake and einsplanner. Both were rich but not overwhelming. The cake was moist. They offer a wide range of baked goods and caffeinated drinks. I'm excited to come back for their panini and scone and cupcakes, all made in-house! Service and ambiance are so good. Lots of people camp out and work here and have meetings. The clientele seems to skew Asian millennial. I can't wait to see them take off in popularity. read more

Drinks, good! Ambiance, good! Service, a little slow, but very kind staff. Food (baked goods) not great. Some things we wanted to try were gone on the day we went/none of the items we saw on Instagram/Tiktok posts were available/on the menu? They also sold out of an item we ordered...after we ordered it (lol). Best thing would be the kimchi onion jam panini, all the baked goods were very dry or too cold (frozen from being in the fridge).

I really wanted to like this place, but maybe I just didn't order the right thing. A friend mentioned Buoy to me and I've been intrigued ever since. I saw the ssuk (mugwort) drinks and wanted to try one since it's something different. I just went to Korea a few weeks ago (granted, it was during the Chuseok holiday so everything was basically closed) and asked around about a ssuk latte. However, no one knew what I was talking about, so I left defeated with no option but to try it back in the States. We came here on a random weekday afternoon and between the option of a standard ssuk latte vs ssuk einspanner, we decided to get the latter as recommended ($6.50). Before actually purchasing the drink, the cashier warned us that it would be an acquired taste and had us smell the ssuk to see if we'd like it. It reminded me of matcha, so I figured the least I could do was try the drink. Plus, this is coming from a girl who LOVES natto. I know all about acquired tastes. Be sure to mix the drink well! I didn't because I wanted to see how it would taste without the cream and got a bitter mouthful. Once I mixed everything altogether, I found that the ssuk flavor itself was really light and the drink wasn't too sweet (a win!). The reason for the average rating was that I found the drink boring. The more I sipped on it, the less I wanted to drink it. It's better with food, but still nothing to rave about. Maybe I'm missing the point? I was curious about the pastries, but saw a tiny fruit fly in the display. As a personal rule of thumb, flies in pastry case = automatic no. I know it's not something easy to control, but my inner sanitary freak can't shake it. read more

I had a feeling that this cafe was going to be overhyped, but I was hoping to be proven wrong, especially with how kind the staff are! My friend and I shared the Ssuk latte, einspanner, matcha roll cake, and black cocoa cookie. I have had Ssuk also known as Mugwort before in pastries, which I enjoyed, but never in latte form so I knew it was a risk to try. Overall I will have to agree with another review that the taste was similar to chinese herbal medicine or even to me specifically, if you were to taste tiger balm. Maybe because its more concentrated vs. in a pastry there is cake or pastry to balance it out? With this being a korean cafe, I had expected their einspanner to be similar to the ones I had in Korea, but unfortunately it was not. The latte was watery and bitter and the cream did not have the thickness you would expect for an einspanner. The coffee used here is equator coffee which I do like, so maybe I had a one off drink. The matcha roll cake as all other reviewers mentioned was pretty dry, but I did enjoy the matcha cream and chesnut pieces inside. I think my favorite item amongst what we shared was the black cocoa cookie. The taste reminded me a bit of oreo pizookie. In terms of the space - the space is huge and perfect to work from home, they do have free wifi, not sure about outlets(I did not see any). It is a bit dark inside, but I think that is the aesthetic for this cafe. One thing to note that I hope is a one off because it was a slightly warm day- there were a cluster of flies inside the cafe , mainly where you order. I was also swatting flies while I was eating, which surprised me because the space is so big so you would think it is well ventilated enough to avoid this problem. I hope this can be resolved as this is not normally an issue at other cafes that are even smaller and warmer. Overall I appreciate the uniqueness in flavors but I do think as other reviewers mentioned, they do need work. I feel that people come to this cafe to just try the unique flavors once or to work from home due to the large open space of this cafe. read more

While there's room for improvement in their flavors, I overall enjoyed my experience here and loved the space. There are lots of tables to catch up with friends or do work/study with free wifi. We were lucky to snag the cozy couch area on the side. With pretty presentations, the matcha and red bean roll cakes were one of the main reasons why we came, and they didn't disappoint! The matcha was strong, and the red bean was delightful! You don't see mugwort often around here, so I'm so glad I got to try the ssuk latte although it was a tad too sweet for my liking. In the category of "probably wouldn't get again," certain flavors were either lacking or overpowering. The orange Einspanner was pretty but tasted of all orange and little coffee. On the other hand, the black sesame flavor was basically absent in the black sesame latte, and the flavor of the cream unfortunately dominated the ssuk tiramisu. read more

9/10 - golden toast with sashimi on top 9.5/10: so good. the best avocado toast my bf has ever had. it was a perfect combination of crunchy / soft textures. the avocado mixed with the crispy and buttery toast, with a slight kick to it that i can't even place. - galbi crunch 6/10: lackluster. great concept, poor execution. the batter tasted like tempura chips which was weird. the meat was a bit overcooked; would've been better if it was more tender. the peppers were good. the red flakes on top tasted like hot cheetos. - soondooboo 9/10: they wouldn't give us white rice!!!! we asked twice!!! would've been a 10 with rice. best soondooboo we've had. it had a thicker consistency than normal. was on the spicier side so rice would've saved us. given that there was no rice, we wish there was more content in it (ie. meat, tofu). we're taking it home to eat with rice lol - bossam 8.5/10: the kimchi like thing and soybean paste were a good combo with the meat. no lettuce though, which was weird. the bossam felt less cooked than normal, but not complaining lol. solid but not the best i've had - mochi brownie 8/10: had little bits of mochi in it... kinda weird. but the black sesame cream was a great addition! the brownie as a whole was the perfect amount of sweet. and they gave it to us for free for our anniversary! read more
