We came a few hours before closing on a weekday afternoon and were seated upstairs right away. Super friendly service and they gave us a rundown of the ordering system, the self-serve station, and the restrooms. You order through a QR code at your table. The ambiance is tops; high ceilings open up the place so much, a modern and minimal aesthetic, soft music playing in the background, lots of seating on both floors (bar, table, or cute couches), and plenty of natural light. Hojicha banana oat milk latte ($6.50): 5/5. Perfectly balanced. Galbi patty melt ($16): 5/5. Yummm, the galbi was juicy and tasty and I loved the kimchi slaw. Croissant was buttery and flaky. Sohn breakfast sandwich ($14): 5/5. I'm not even an egg fan, but the flavors (especially the onion jam) and textures were great. So glad I finally visited Sohn!

A cafe with a very cute interior and Thai-style coffees next to GGP!…read more This location is two stores down from San Tung and about a 10-15 minute walk from Golden Gate Park. It is tucked away and a bit inconspicuous, so be sure to keep an eye out if you decide to come over here. Since it is near the park, parking is difficult, and taking Muni would be best. The store itself is small, with two tightly packed tables for seating, and the order counter is surrounded by delicious-looking pastries, giving it a homey vibe. I went in the afternoon on a weekend, and there was no line at the time. I really needed a caffeine boost, saw this place on Yelp, and decided to try it out. I try my best to order coffees/drinks that are unique to the place so I can try their signatures and form my best judgment. I decided to order the Thai Caffe Banana Latte and saw that it was labeled as blended with bananas. When I went up to the counter, I asked about the consistency of the latte to ensure it was not a creamy blended drink (like a smoothie) but still liquid, like a typical latte. I am unsure if my question was confusing, but it seemed to bother the person serving me that I was asking questions, and they seemed to be getting impatient with me. When they rang me up, I paid, but I forgot to ask for almond milk since I felt rushed while ordering (even though no one else was in the store at the time). I asked if I could still add it in and pay the upcharge or separate fee. They ended up telling me to just tip them the extra $1 in cash or add it to the Square payment as a tip (I gave $2 in cash because I felt bad for inconveniencing them). When I got the drink, the coffee was strong, bold, and not as sweet as I thought it was going to be (which was fine!). Since the original coffee without banana says it has condensed milk, I thought it was going to have more of that sweet note with the banana, but I could be incorrect in assuming it would be sweeter. That said, the banana itself was mashed into the drink, and unfortunately, I did not taste it very much, though I did sip up some banana pieces. Based on the drinks and the service, perhaps this place just is not for me, but I would not tell you to avoid it either. I would recommend trying it yourself to formulate your own thoughts, since maybe my experience was a one-off and the drink I got was not the one that best represents this cafe!

It wasn't strong [:(] but it was definitely delicious [:3]. The chairs built into the wall were a little uncomfy but they looked so chic. The bar projected an anime on the wall on the night that we went and it made for a great vibe. Service was a little slow (it seemed like it was only one person servicing the whole place) but they were friendly and attentive! Would 100% recommend checking the Social Study out if you're in the area!

If you are in the area, or want to pregame before a night out in the Fillmore or Japantown, this is a good place to kick the night into gear.

After 2 appointments this morning, I made good on my intention to walk out earlier and get lunch for my father and myself. As I approached, I noticed a group of young men having a friendly gathering after placing their orders. I noticed later that they shared the famous Kaya toast among other things. Poll workers were also enjoying their lunches. Upon entering, I was directed to the menu to the right of the register which had explanations of the bunwiches. Because of a coconut allergy, I asked if the pandesal bun had any coconut. My server asked a coworker, but to be sure he could ask the chef. I decided to order the featured Asparagus Egg Salad Bunwich and the Shrimpwich that a few of the Yelp reviewers said was a must. I found my server to be friendly and respectful which I appreciated. It made me glad that I had paid a visit. While waiting on my bunwiches, I placed an online order through Toast local for the Food for the Gods and Almond Jam Cookies. It said that it would be 15-19 minutes about the time my bunwiches would be ready. My server brought my order in a paper bag with a handle out to me as I was waiting on the bench and even checked a second time that the desserts were packed in the bag. He wished me a good day. I would have to say that I enjoyed the featured Asparagus Egg Salad Bunwich more than the Shrimpwich. The Shrimpwich had a little spice to it that I could not appreciate which my father did. The Shrimpwich has a panko fried shrimp patty, coleslaw with shredded carrots, takuan remoulade, and avocado sauce. I found out that takuan is a Japanese pickle made from Sun-dried and fermented daikon radish and is used as a palate cleanser. The Asparagus Egg Salad Bunwich had asparagus and mushroom kakiage which is a crispy Japanese fritter made by tossing the asparagus, thinly sliced mushrooms, and shredded onions in light tempura batter and deep-frying them together to give an airy fritter with lots of flavor. The Bunwich also has miso mustard sauce, sliced cucumber, and mizuna. I had to look up what mizuna was, too. Mizuna is Japanese mustard greens full of vitamins A, C, and K and the antioxidant lutein (an antioxidant taken in a supplement for age-related macular degeneration). The mizuna was very fresh and green used as baby greens for the Bunwich. The Food for the Gods was food for Dad. It was moist with the ingredients of Medjool dates found in Mediterranean cuisines, toasted walnuts with omega-3 fats, and molasses. I had never had cookies containing umeboshi which I discovered to be a salt-pickled fruit related to the apricot. Umeboshi is salted, often dyed with red perilla leaves, and dried yielding a wrinkled texture. Umeboshi is a superfood in Japanese culture that is used to help digestion and bloating. It contains vitamins A and C and iron. My father loves strawberries and the cookies have a strawberry plum jam. We thoroughly enjoyed having these cookies with our green tea. I would buy these almond jam cookies to share with a friend. I was introduced to a lot of foods that have health benefits. I would be happy to come again.

It came a little too unsweetened for my liking but they have sweetened out to adjust for your liking! I would def come back to get this! 8/10! The strawberry latte on the other hand was very overpoweringly flavored of the strawberry jam :(. I felt it tasted a bit artificial and didn't really let the matcha taste come through, I would stick to-the hojicha. 4.5/10 For food we got the fish sandwich and the pork katsu sandwich. The fish sandwich was decent, the cheese was cold but the fish was nice and flaky. I wish the fish skin was a bit more crunchy but I did like the slaw and sauce on it. 6.5/10 The pork one was soooo good and juicy. The crust was super crunchy and surrounded by the soft bread was such a nice texture. There was a sweet sauce which balanced the sandwhich nicely. Would get again! 8/10 We also saw the Japanese breakfast bento which looked realllly good and the salmon with matcha broth that others ordered and would def come back to try those! TLDR; would get the pork katsu sandwhich and hojicha. Would come back to try the bento and the salmon in matcha broth!!

Enjoyed my plate of two eggs, properly-crisp bacon, & small pile of sauced-up tortilla chips. I 86'ed refried beans, as I'm not a fan, but for those who partake, I imagine it bulks up the meal considerably.

On the May Fourth be with you today Star Wars movie has Cinderella undertones. Growing up the Piroshki was all around the corner liquor stores in San Francisco especially in the Mission District ( a whole different Cinderella story). The piroshki would be a fast microwaved treat to have during lunch and after school. Over the years I have been very selective when picking up a piroshki from a corner store because they can be very doughy. There is one bakery in San Francisco which has been making a variety of piroshkis for over 70 years. This Russian bakery has both the savory and the sweet . It's located on Balboa street and it's called Cinderella. On a Spring stroll I landed at Cinderella. Inside you can see and smell the delicious bake goods which can be sweet and some salty like some in SF. On the sweet side I enjoy their honey cake but no donuts . On the savory side it's the piroshkis. My favorite is the beef and cheddar piroshki. It wasn't too cheesy like some in SF but the beef was tender and it almost tastes like a smashed burger ( not to be confused with smash burger) all in a soft bun. The are other interesting items on the menu like Pelmeni which are Russian dumplings and Siberian Pie. You can wash it all down with a Matcha Latte ( for Don Juan de la Matcha) or the Kompot drink. There is a planned expansion to the Mission District in with a location at 2937 24th street. This will be a good Cinderella story for all of San Francisco. Go to a place which has a good piroshki "supply" these piroshki buns get baked and some they do "fry" they have other baked goods and food you can "try" like their Grilled Salmon salad and the Cherry Vareniki the Russian Dumpling which has sour cream & sour cherries or the "Siberian Pie" So go on a stroll to "Cinderella" which is the place when it comes to piroshki and baked goods because they got "hella" tasty variations like the Blinchiki with Caviar with more than a bump and you also have one made with it "Nutella" and this bakery sings to me like a Broadway " A capella"
