    Quick easy service here. The guys behind the counter are friendly and knowledgeable about their roasts! I enjoyed a mid afternoon cappuccino with oat milk on the seating out front.

    Collection of coffee and baked items is insane. Order and step outside for others. They also have beans.

    Inviting on a rainy night in the Castro

    What do you do when you're standing out in the pouring rain waiting for the Castro Theater to open? You go inside the CCC for a gorgeous Americano and marvel at your great decision as you sip a cup of heaven. Inside, you'll find a wall-to-wall selection of the finest beans found around the world. You can get whole beans, or they are happy to grind them for you... but either way your caffeine bliss is one transaction away! You can grab a cup to go, or order whatever your little heart desires from the super nice barista behind the counter and be on your way. If you're lucky enough to snag a table outside, you are sheltered from the sun and rain, and have The Castro to entertain you as long as you wish, or at least as long as that buzz lasts.

    This place smells so divine and amazing each time I step in! A huge selection and variety- if you're a coffee lover like me, you won't be disappointed. Owners are nice people who are very passionate. You can also get a cute mani-pedi done at their nail salon a few doors down too if you so choose! :D Please continue to visit and support until the end of the month.

    My new favorite spot to re-up my coffee. Had the pleasure of meeting Matthew who recommended a yummy Medium bag and his wonderful Father. Grabbed a latte and hung out in front and felt right at home. Incredible, charming and kind family atmosphere who clearly loves and cares about their community. Looking forward to my next visit!

    7/2/23 Almond milk latte

    7/2/23 gotta try one latte in San Francisco at least once Emna, the friendly barista created our almond milk latte. It's a small coffee shop with seating only outdoors. Perhaps I'm already acclimated to the oatmilk latte that the almond latte tasted less creamy (obviously). I'm sharing with my good friend & he opted for the almond milk. Although the shop boasts of these wonderful beans, I didn't quite sense the aroma & essence of the (?) di Napoli. It was a good cup of latte but in comparison to the many cafes back home...you get my drift. I did appreciate the welcoming attitude that Emna showed. Good spot to just chill on a lazy Sunday if you're from this area or as a tourist It was just a few steps from where we were dropped off (end of the line) from the F-line.

    Wake-up with the GOAT

    I have been drinking and ordering whole beans of their Morning Rush blend since the '80's! Turned on to this "GOAT" of a coffee by a San Franciscan relative, I have never found any coffee that could compare to its robust flavour from any coffee roaster anywhere. Trust me, I have tried. Living back & forth across USA with home in Canada, I still order the whole beans directly from proprietor Ken! Castro Coffee is family to me. Even bought a Technivorm Moccamaster Drip machine because this coffee deserves the best brewer!

    Seems the place has been here for some time. Coffee was fine. Pastries are delivered from elsewhere. But the best part is people were genuinely friendly

    Cozy, upscale cafe located in the vibrant Russian Hill neighborhood…read more I went on a Monday afternoon and there was a great crowd there. Lively customers and staff, good vibes! There was a lot of natural light in the coffee shop, definitely a visually-appealing, 'aesthetic' place. I got an iced red tea and it was delicious. The tea was botanical, smooth and fragrant. Amazing experience! Excited to come back and try the coffee and pastries, which looked super fresh.

It seems like there's also an upstairs but did not get the chance to check it out. I got an iced latte with their almond macadamia milk, and they're also so nice to do complimentary cold brew! So we got an extra drink for free. Trying the iced latte, it was pretty disappointing lol. I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.

It's located at the filthy corner of 4th and Clara, which made the outside smell of urine. Fortunately the cafe itself is pretty clean, which is a nice escape from the street. I ordered an Americano and my friend got one of their $8+ lattes, which were fine, but nothing special. My biggest gripe was the service and absolute scorn of the customer. My friend and I sat at the counter basically in a staring contest with the woman behind the counter, who just stared right back. After some 30 seconds, we finally flagging her down to place our order. After turning around the drinks suspiciously quickly, my friend and I sat down to catch-up in the empty cafe. Before long, the barista pumps up the volume, increasing higher and higher every 5 minutes or so, as if to signal to us that our time was up. I asked her to turn down the volume, which she tuned down from an 11 to a 7, but minutes later it continued to creep up, like the snooze setting of an alarm clock coaxing you to wake up - except in this case, to get out. Ultimately, the volume got unbearable and we finally threw in the towel and got out of there to let the barista enjoy her music. Definitely never going back there - they clearly don't want the business. Food: 5/10 Service: 0/10 Price: $$ Atmosphere: 4/10

    I was there! Kiss of Matcha on Clement Street in San Francisco…read more My Yelp Elite friend treated me to my very first Matcha soft serve. Hmm, I don't believe I've ever had matcha soft serve before. It wasn't what I expected. I thought maybe it would be gritty and bitter. It was actually smooth, creamy and had an earthy taste just like green tea. It also had a strikingly pretty green color. It looked too nice to eat. The shop itself is tiny and resembles a Japanese tea house. It has ordering kiosks, a pickup booth, and only four stools along the front window. My friend and I grabbed two stools up against the wall. My stool wobbled a bit. As more customers entered, the shop filled up quickly. I like the place, but it's a bit small. Located nextdoor to See's Candy. Street parking

The matcha unfortunately wasn't very well blended, which is always a little disappointing when matcha is the main event. I also tried the soft serve and liked the flavor, but it wasn't quite as creamy as I would've wanted. The texture was actually a little grainy, which threw me off. There's also no WiFi, so just something to keep in mind if you're hoping to come here and get some work done. That being said, they have a pretty extensive menu with a lot of different drinks and desserts, so I'd be open to coming back and trying something else. Maybe I just didn't order the right things for me!

    Very good cakes. My friend bought 4 pieces and shared them at dinner and they were all really good…read more I hope this review helps you better make decisions on selecting what flavors / types of cakes you wanna get. Early grey crepe cake- if you like earl grey tea and crepe cake this would be a strong contestant. The tea flavor was immense and I liked how the layered cream was airy and a bit foamy that makes the earl grey cream the main character of the cake. Passion fruit - really good!! The passion fruit flavor was deep and strong with real seeds in the cream. It has a very slight hint of tangy and a very well done flavor profile! Sesame basque - if you like a creamy basque cheesecake and sesame then this would be wonderful. For me, basque cheesecake usually isn't my go-to as I like something more light and airy, but the black sesame was very rich and tastes almost a bit savory. Flavor profile is a bit neutral and neither too sweet or savory. Pandan sponge cakes- pandan flavor stands out and I love how they use coconut flesh in between the layers. It's pretty creative! There's texture (soft pandan sponge cake + crunchy fresh coconut ) in this cake which is interesting, but when you cut the cake it might fall apart. I would say this cake plays more with texture and creativity and less on the perfecting the taste. Don't get me wrong it's still good! Not sure about service but my friend said she interrogated the staff so that she could select the best cakes for us :) Will Def be back !

They have a…read morereally nice variety of mille crepe cakes and other desserts, with flavors like pandan, matcha, ube, taro and more. I love that you can get individual slices instead of committing to a whole cake, which makes it so easy to try several flavors in one visit. The cakes are really pretty and have so many thin layers that each bite feels light and creamy. This is perfect if you enjoy lighter cakes. I think the Asian flavors are what make Sweet Glory stand out from a lot of other cake spots in the city. There are plenty of familiar flavors, but also combinations that you don't see anywhere else. The space is also surprisingly spacious, with plenty of indoor seating and a cute patio in the back. It's a nice place to sit down with a few slices and take your time. Great dessert spot if you want to try a few different cakes in one visit. The fact that you can order by the slice makes it especially easy to explore the menu without having to choose just one.
