The cookies were soft and chewy. Overall, a wonderful place for all your sweets

There is also some places are where you can just camp out and relax and enjoy a cup of matcha in the city. So I cross Ocean Avenue for the quest of getting matcha for Don Juan La Matcha at Diamond Coffee N' Pastry. On an Ocean stroll to Ocean Avenue in SF I landed at Diamond Coffee N' Pastry. Inside it looks like I was a camp site but it reminded me more of glamp site. So I tried the cheese and turkey pastry which is as not too cheesy but a bit flakey like some in SF. Don Juan de la matcha had to get the matcha latte. It was not too sweet and it was smooth and tasty. This is a good pit stop and hidden gem called Diamond Coffee N' Pastry on Ocean Avenue. Matcha is Don Juan De La matcha the new magic "potion "with the many different flavor "explosion "with many added flavors are in "motion "and there is place you can catch the matcha wave it's a Diamond on "Ocean" The atmosphere feels like you are in the woods in a "camp"more like you went to "glamp "the decor you see lots of plants along with a "lamp"and once you get a taste of the matcha you are feeling "amp"

I wanted the tuna sandwich but really would have wanted a tuna melt (which is off the menu), and without hesitation it was made possible. Added cheese and avocado. Toasted. Omg it was delicious. The ingredients are so fresh. The portions are generous. The space is clean. The music is upbeat and just right to provoke creativity and conversation. The ambience is welcoming, comforting, nourishing. Thank you so much.

Fortunately, there wasn't that headache-inducing elevation challenge in coming here, but it felt kinda remote to someone who doesn't make it to the Balboa Park station that often. It kinda felt like a hillside warming hut on the way to oh I dunno... Machu Picchu? The place was relatively cavernous with an eye-catching faux-cherry blossom tree smack in the middle (Photo 7). Interesting decorating choice. True to its name, they offer Peruvian coffee and specialties like empanadas and alfajores on their extensive menu. However, what caught my attention was the extensive sandwich selection. Feeling quite peckish that day, I decided to order the $16.25 Turkey Club Sandwich, which was a pretty hearty layering of deli turkey, crispy bacon, Swiss cheese, avocado, lettuce, onion, tomato, and mayo between slices of toasted sourdough (Photo 8). It worked. FOOD - 3 stars...a well assembled sandwich with good ingredients AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...spacious but oh that tree SERVICE - 3.5 stars...a bit of a wait and not that busy TOTAL - 3 stars...if I happen to be in the 'hood hankering for a sandwich RELATED - Exploring past the Mission?

Parking can get tough in the area, and wait times may be longer than expected if there is a small line.
