    Came here for the strawberry matcha einspanner and honestly I didn't have super high expectations as it looks more like a dessert drink than a true matcha but it was pretty good for an einspanner! The cream top and dried strawberries on top is delicious. Definitely use the strawberries to scoop up the cream for a decadent bite. The matcha was just ok tho. It was strong but grainy and the strawberry jam on the bottom was surprisingly kind of bland. I tried to mix my drink well but there still wasn't much actual strawberry flavor and by the time I was halfway through the drink, it was mostly cream. I have a couple of favorites for einspanner in the city and Cafe Nagomi didn't quite live up to those but it's pretty solid if you're craving a sweet fun drink.

    I strategically planned to come here at the time with the least wait (workday around 2pm) and the line was just 2 people which was lovely. I tried the strawberry matcha einspanner as it looked so enticing. I'd say it's a good combo of matcha/strawberry flavor but a bit too much whipped cream (if you get this one - grab a spoon, you won't be able to mix it in and drink through the thin straw they provide). I also felt it was too much ice compared to the drink. I'd come to try other drinks they have but won't spend an hour in a line.

    First time trying an einspanner. The matcha strawberry einspanner looks decadent with a tall swirl of pink-orange whipped cream and bits of freeze dried strawberry. I enjoyed the strawberry jam, which provided a nice contrast with the matcha. There were a lot of ingredients in this dessert drink, so it masked any grassiness the matcha may have. Thusly, the matcha seemed about average when compared to all the other cafes in the city. I'm not a whipped cream fan, and this drink didn't change my outlook. It was flavorless, wish the strawberry jam was also integrated into the whipped cream. I'd say this drink had too much whipped cream and the ratio of whipped cream to drink was probably 1:1. All in all, it was a fun drink to try, and an non-matcha-drinking onlooker was so impressed with the drink's aesthetics that he got into line.

    Came here to try the matcha that I have been seeing on social media. I just got a matcha latte with oat milk and it's pretty good. The service is alright you order through the kiosk.

    San Francisco celebrates the Cherry Blossom Festival for two weekends in April. It is the one of biggest Cherry Blossom festival in America and only second to the capital of USA, Washington DC. This weekend will be last weekend to catch the Cherry Blossom festival at San Francisco's Japantown. Last weekend San Francisco experienced some rain. This weekend will be sunnier. Going to Japantown for the Cherry Blossom Festival you will see lots of vendors selling manga anything anime , Hello Kitty, and Pokémon. You will find food like sushi ,Takoyaki, chicken katsu sando along with drinks like matcha. If you are downtown in San Francisco you can get some top grade flavor matcha all four seasons . It's on New Montgomery street and it's called Nagomi. On a Spring stroll in downtown San Francisco there is a place which serves top grade matcha for Don Juan de la Matcha . Once inside you feel calm and tranquility and that's what Nagomi means in Japanese. The decor vibe feels like it's the Cherry Blossom all four seasons. It was a sunny day so I decided to try their matcha and vanilla swirl ice cream cone. The matcha and vanilla Straus ice cream was tasty with lots of flavor and it was one of the best in the city. The cone was a bit flakey like some in SF. They also have lots of matcha drinks available like Matcha Latte with premium Matcha from Shizuoka Japan and the Korean inspired Strawberry Matcha Einspänner with the strawberries on top. This is the spot for matcha in San Francisco if you are on New Montgomery street. Walking around the city of San Francisco is like social media feeds on your phone you will witness lots of "spectacles" the Cherry Blossom in Japantown is one my favorite city "festivals"where you can find great tasty Japanese "delectables"and you will also find out matcha is for everyone even if you eat only plants, fruits, and "vegetables" Go to downtown San Francisco which has matcha ice cream which has a flavor "tsunami"with twist and turns of the vanilla and matcha a flavor "origami" at Nagomi which in Japanese means calm and it did "calm me "with a matcha cone ice cream after going to Cà phê Việt at 121 New Montgomery and eating a "Banh Mi"

    Matcha latte with oat milk and requested extra hot. Came out exactly the way I wanted it!! Very smooth. Matcha was good too since it is regularly prepared unsweetened. FYI, the matcha strawberry einspanner seems to be the BIG deal. They are flying out the door!

    Happy I got to try this new matcha spot after seeing it pop up on my feed a lot! Cafe Nagomi is located in the busy Financial District of SF, which means no parking... The nearest parking garage was connected one of the residential places and it was quite expensive. I will say this place is more of a small cafe where you: order at a kiosk, grab your drink, and take it to go. Prices were on the higher end being around $8-$9 depending on what you get. They didn't have just tea options, so it was mainly lattes (Hojicha, Matcha, Strawberry Matcha). I opted for the Strawberry Matcha Einspanner with regular sweet. The matcha flavor was more on the balanced and creamy side, but it had difficulty mixing well with the strawberry jam at the bottom. Still enjoyed the flavors though. The strawberry whipped cream part was thick and similar to what you'd get on top of a funnel cake or frozen drink. It made the drink feel & taste like a dessert! When you think of einspanners, you'd expect a thick milk foam. But, I like how they were creative with their drink. I'd come back to just get their Strawberry Matcha, but I'm glad I got to try this place.

    Hojicha latte
    Angela M.

    Hojicha is one of my most favorite drinks on this earth, so I was excited to try the hojicha latte here. I had no idea this place even existed until I walked past it on my way to GDC, so I stopped in on a whim. As with a lot of cafes these days, you order at a tablet and have minimal interactions with the staff, who were a bit on the cool side toward customers but were at least still polite. All drinks are available either hot or cold, with sugar and ice adjustments available. The hojicha used in the lattes is from Shizuoka and definitely seems to be a highlight of the menu. It didn't take too long for my drink to come out, as there were only a couple of other people who'd ordered ahead of me. The drink was a pretty standard size, not super tiny but not very generous either. The first couple of sips of the latte were a bit chalky, but with a good stir that chalkiness went away and I was left with a smooth, roasted hojicha flavor that was absolutely delicious. Everything I was hoping for when I ordered a hojicha latte. I don't work in San Francisco anymore so, unfortunately, I likely won't drop by again unless I happen to be in the area for some reason or they're still around next year when I return for GDC. But I'd recommend giving them a shot if you love hojicha, too. And for the matcha fans, there are a ton of matcha options for you here.

    Nagomi Matcha is a newly opened matcha place that is everywhere on my feed lately, so I had to check it out. They're known for using award winning Shizuoka matcha, and you can tell it right away. I got strawberry matcha, and the matcha itself was really strong, good quality, slightly bitter in a nice way. The drink overall was good, but one small thing kinda bothered me...the straw. It was too thin and felt flimsy, like it could break anytime. I tried to use it to mix the strawberry jam with the matcha latte but it didn't work well, so the drink was a bit uneven unless you really try. It's a takeout only, no seating, but I didn't mind that. I also really love their loyalty stamp card, basically you can get a free drink at cup 10th. One thing to note is that they close at 5pm and also closed on Sundays, so plan ahead a bit.

    Strawberry matcha

    I enjoyed the strawberry matcha Einspanner. It was very flavorful and the service was quick! The matcha is whisked by hand instead of batched which I liked a lot but it oxidizes and turns brown after 15 minutes. The other thing is there aren't any seats inside and this is a "to go" cafe.

    My friend and I went to Nagomi on a Friday after work and got there around 4... and lo and behold, there was already a long line. I don't know if this place blew up on social media, but the hype is real. After waiting about 15 minutes (and honestly, the line never really dies down), we finally made our way into the small shop. There's no seating (purely takeout) so we ordered and stepped aside. I got the hojicha strawberry einspanner, while my friend ordered the matcha strawberry version, and both were delicious. Now, I'm no matcha connoisseur...I've tried higher-quality matcha before, but maybe my taste buds just aren't refined enough to always tell the difference, but this was genuinely good. The hojicha had a warm, nutty, roasted flavor that paired really nicely with the strawberry cream. But honestly, the matcha stole the show. The sweetness of the strawberry (both the puree at the bottom) and the cream went sooo well with the richness of the matcha, and I definitely noticed the quality. Not too bitter, but rich in every way. For me, Nagomi beats Tadaima for drink quality (while Tadaima wins in terms of location/vibes), but if you had to go anywhere in SF, Nagomi would be my place to go. P.S. One small thing about Nagomi (very minor): the quality control can be a bit inconsistent. But honestly, it makes sense since they were pretty slammed with orders when we went. You can kind of see what I mean in the photos below.

    Wooowwww, simply delicious!! I'm so glad I finally stopped by to try one of their drinks - Strawberry Matcha Einspanner. They are known for their ceremonial grade matcha from Japan, which is really strong. The drink consists of a strawberry whipped cream, strawberry purée, and dried strawberry on top. The matcha was indeed strong and paired so well with the strawberry ingredients. My favorite was defiantly the whipped cream. I also ordered a hot hojicha latte for my dad, and he enjoyed that as well. He said it had a strong roasted flavor. Very impressed with the drink that I ordered. There wasn't a line when I arrived on a Wednesday 30 minute before closing. I just wished that they closed at 6pm since I would have to get off work early to stop by. There are no seats inside which is also a bummer. I can't wait to try other drinks on their menu!

    This is a new cafe in FiDi, near the Salesforce building. It's pretty small inside, with little to no seating. The menu is pretty expansive with matcha and hojicha and there are some great options! I tried the Strawberry Matcha latte, and it was a touch too sweet. I don't think the drink needs additional sweetner in addition to the natural strawberry sugar. The matcha flavor also wasn't the greatest. I think this place is fine for a quick pick me up during the work day but I wouldn't be running back any time soon.

Wait time: Less than 10 minutes between ordering of food / drink and it being ready when going at 10am on a Sunday. Matcha: The Velvet matcha had a good matcha flavor without being overly sweet and a good balance between ice and actual drink. The matcha foam that goes on top is also not excessive while providing a more deep flavor profile that the actual drink lacks a little in. They do also have lids on a side table to allow for you to take your drink on the go with both a straw option and sip lid built into the same top. The matcha crepe cake was okay but did not really have a strong matcha taste to it and the crepes themselves were not very flavorful either. For Presidio Heights, Q Specialty Coffee is a solid tasting matcha with plenty of natural lighting and a great place to catch up with friends or colleagues while enjoying a beverage.
