    Seating area
    Hannah C.

    This is one of my favorite coworking/remote working spots near me for their numerous seats, long hours (for a cafe), solid Wi-Fi, cheap eats, and nice workers! I usually come by multiple times a month and stay for the whole day. I don't usually buy coffee here - I'm a bigger fan of their bagel sandwiches and salads. Workers have always been super friendly and talkative to me. I have also tried to practice my Spanish with them! Lots of seating with counters and a sofa! Always a pretty clean space. Tends to have more customers in the early morning and when school gets out. I personally think it's a great space in the Divisadero/Lower Pacific Heights area and will continue to support!

    Banana bread, almond milk mocha
    Anna O.

    We went to Cumaica to get my coffee fix. I had a large house coffee and my husband had a hot mocha with almond milk. Both were excellent and my husband said his was the best mocha he has had. We also ordered a carrot bread and a banana nut chocolate bread. Both were very good and the chocolate added to the banana bread was exceptional. Service was quick and friendly. The walk in entrance is clean and inviting with a great selection of snacks and burritos in an open air case. There also is a menu board with a large assortment of prepared sandwich and bagel options to be made to order. I highly recommend it, You will not be disappointed.

    Yummy Tuna Pasta Salad plus a Pastry
    Joseph A.

    Late Lunch via Cumaica , only an image of the food because my focus was on getting in and out given my car was questionably parked :) As for the shop it was very spacious, clean, well organized, and the women that helped me were very pleasant. My meal, a very filling & tasty Tuna Pasta Salad which would easily have been enough for 2 if partnered with a Salad or 1/2 Sandwich. No Salad for me though :) I still had some more work to do so I partnered it with a Yummy Pastry. To be honest I do have a bag of Salad in the Fridge, but there is probably a greater then 50% chance it will meet the same fate as the last 2 (green can). In any case it was a nice Lunch :)

    Lox bagel
    Kim B.

    Lox bagel...just remember that. lox bagel. Had that while I waited for my b patisserie baked goods to be boxed. It's right across the street. I was told it was delicious. It was. Perfect blend of your everything bagel, cream cheese and delicious lox with capers and purple onion slices. I enjoyed it on our drive to Sacramento so I cannot complain. Someone else got a regular bagel with cream cheese and said it had the perfect amount of cream cheese to bagel and it was very nice and warm. We ordered a warm chocolate which was rich but not too rich. Nice and hot and was just perfect. We didn't get the whipped cream that we asked but it's ok hot chocolate goes with very cold weather. Sweet and salty kind of breakfast= perfection

    Veggie bagel (not vegan) with added sausage. Meat eaters need fiber too.
    Joanne R.

    The Huz and I were staying at Japantown for my work retreat. Cumaica is about a 20-minute walk from the hotel. We were looking for an early morning coffee spot, so walking here became our routine. I don't understand any of the bad reviews because it seems to be a local spot, totally clean, and with solid coffee and food. They have enough to satisfy meat eaters and vegans. The workers were really nice and service was super efficient. Loved the bagel sandwich selection! There's also lots of seating if you need to eat or do simple work. These days, supporting small businesses is important. If you're in the area, I'd definitely try this out.

    Breakfast bagel

    Support small businesses and come to Cumaica!! Had a solid breakfast jalapeño bagel here and enjoyed every bit of it. It's right on California in South Pacific Heights, and usually there's plenty of street parking around on a weekday or a weekend. I'm a fan!

    Dirty Chai with coconut milk
    Anika S.

    **Actually a 3.5 but rounded up for great service. I think this is a nice cafe in the area! My dirty chai was a little too strong (I think from cinnamon?) which was a little weird but not bad. I would go back though to try other coffee options. I really did enjoy my bagel though! There's a limited number of bagel flavor options, but the ones that are there are very good. I got a veggie on Asiago which was flavorful and all the veggies tasted fresh. Also for my vegans, there's a decent vegan menu for breakfast options!

    I got invited here to shoot some content for them, and I'm very glad for that opportunity…read more Content aside, I did genuinely enjoy their drinks. The strawberry matcha was my favorite. They used a strawberry cream top instead of a puree, which I actually enjoyed. It added a nice creaminess to the drink, and the matcha was very smooth and strong. It worked well together. I also tried their double hojicha, and while I enjoyed how nutty and strong the hojicha was, I did find it a little bit grainy. I wish it was a little smoother like the matcha was. I usually don't drink/like coffee, but the guava cold brew sounded so interesting I couldn't resist. The fruity jasmine tea somehow paired so well with the coffee and made it a nice refreshing drink. I was also lucky enough to try the matcha crepe cake, which I believe they get from Lady M. It had really nice layers and was light, but unfortunately it was a little too sweet for me. Overall a very solid matcha/coffee option in SF. They have a beautiful interior too, perfect for catching up with friends. Servers were sweet as well!

They explained that the flight includes an espresso shot, espresso shot with milk, hot coffee, and iced coffee. I hadn't had a straight espresso shot before, so this wasn't for me personally just because it was so overpowering. I enjoyed the other three though. Like the majority of SF, parking is difficult to locate. I was dropped off nearby the location. There is indoor and outdoor seating; I was able to grab an empty spot late in the morning on a weekend, but I don't think seating is always readily available. It's not a huge space.

At 11 am on a Sunday they were out of their best- black sesame Kouign Amann and the Raspberry Almond Croissant, which I took care of by paying a visit to Juniper bakery (sister business) later in the day. The Mocha with the house made nut milk fell flat. It needed something. I am not a fan of syrupy coffees and appreciate the more purist approach but this one just didn't do anything for me. The chai latte which I would never order was actually the best chai latte I have ever had, it was smooth like silk. Maybe I just had the wrong coffee order. Besides that, got the hot chocolate and the coffee tasting. I was surprised there was no explanation provided with the coffee- I figured it's all Honduran but an overview of some sort would have helped. I enjoyed all the coffees in there except the latte. Will visit again, earlier in the day so they are not out of their best sellers and try a different order.

If you want to hang out with people, I highly suggest going to the Irving or Broadway locations. My usual is their iced uji matcha with 50% sweetness and it always hits the spot. I've had their matcha cream and ube matcha lattes too which are very good. The matcha tastes very nice and the drink itself is smoothe. It's a solid matcha spot. I like that you have the option to order in person, in store kiosk, online, and by their app. Service is very clean cut of just ordering and getting your drinks. I would warn that I'm not sure how good their problem solving service is as many of the employees are young. I'm just thankful that I haven't had an issue with my order despite going very often.

    Kiss of Matcha is a dessert café centered around matcha-based drinks and Japanese-inspired sweets…read more We walked into a cozy, compact space with a focus on matcha flavors, offering everything from soft serve and parfaits to lattes, hojicha drinks, and small desserts. The concept works well for anyone looking for a place that treats matcha as the main ingredient rather than just adding it as a trendy flavor, and the energy of the shop stays calm and inviting, making it a good spot for a focused dessert stop. The biggest highlight is the matcha soft serve, which has a stronger tea flavor compared to many sweeter matcha desserts. We ordered a cup and found the flavor leaning slightly earthy and bitter, giving it a more authentic matcha profile while still staying creamy and approachable. The Kiss of Matcha Parfait is another standout, combining different textures with matcha, toppings, and dessert elements that make it feel more complete than a simple scoop. The layers of the parfait were well composed, with the matcha soft serve, mochi, and crunchy elements coming together in a way that kept each bite interesting. The hojicha options are also worth trying if you prefer a roasted tea flavor that is smoother and less intense, and the hojicha soft serve offered a warm, toasted note that contrasted nicely with the brighter matcha. The menu has a nice mix of drinks and desserts, with items like croffles, mochi, and dango adding more variety beyond the usual matcha latte. The croffle is a good pairing with the drinks since the crisp texture works well with the richer flavors, and we found it held up well against the cream and toppings. There are also non-matcha options like vanilla soft serve, which makes it easier to visit with a group where everyone has different preferences, and the variety across the menu gives you room to explore beyond the matcha offerings. The space is smaller, so it feels more like a quick dessert stop rather than a place to spend hours. Seating is limited, but the cozy decoration and outdoor seating options make it a comfortable spot to enjoy your order when space is available. The indoor area is thoughtfully arranged, and the outdoor seating adds a nice option for warmer days. Service can vary depending on how busy it gets, but the overall experience is centered more around the quality of the desserts, and the staff are friendly and efficient when handling the flow of orders. Kiss of Matcha is a strong choice for matcha lovers looking for desserts with a deeper tea flavor. The combination of quality matcha, creative dessert options, and a cozy atmosphere makes it a spot worth returning to, especially if you enjoy trying different matcha creations. The balance of authentic flavors, thoughtful presentation, and a relaxed environment makes it a destination for a more intentional matcha experience.

    Community-oriented cafe in the Outer Sunset district!…read more Blackbird is located across the street from Hook Fish, meaning that parking is packed and hard to find, so use public transit! I have gone to Blackbird a handful of times and have enjoyed the experience each time. Blackbird is primarily a bookstore, but they do have an outdoor window where you can order drinks ranging from matcha (Rocky's Matcha, if you're curious about which brand they use), lattes, and tea. They also carry a good amount of pastries (even mid-day, they have a lot of goodies), which I really appreciated. When you order your drink, you have to enter inside the bookstore to wait for your drink to be called, but you can take the time to stroll around and look at their book selection and trinkets. Heads up: the seating here is limited but very lovely. Inside, there are a couple of community tables, but their outdoor area is absolutely magical, with lush greenery and benches for you to enjoy your drinks. This time around, I got one of their seasonal drinks, a honey lavender vanilla latte, and I paired it with an Earl Grey olive oil loaf. The portion of the pastry was generous and moist, while the icing was not too sweet. Overall, a great pick for a cafe if you're in the area.

Matcha latte with whole milk : It's very savory which is great, unsweetened by default. I thought this was one of the better matchas I've had if you want to be able to taste the matcha strongly. Olive oil spelt cake: It reminds me of pound cake. Not that sweet except the frosting/icing. It was okay but as someone who's not as fond of that kind of cakey texture, I'd probably not get it again. They have a really lovely garden and patio in the back. There is also a bathroom. The acoustics and set up for events isn't great, though. It was hard for me to concentrate on the speaker for the book talk since you can hear the noises from the cafe behind and also the sounds of other store customers all around you. That was the only downside, but I think it's a very charming bookstore otherwise.

We walked into a cozy and relaxed space with a cute interior and a surprisingly nice back patio area that makes it feel like a hidden escape from the busier streets outside. The layout is comfortable and inviting, with plenty of seating that works well for catching up with friends, taking a break, or spending some time with a drink and dessert. The patio is probably the best place to sit when the weather is nice, offering a quieter, more open feel than the main indoor area. The main highlight is the crepe cakes. We ordered a few slices and found the layers thin, delicate, and stacked with enough cream to make each bite feel rich without being too heavy. The variety of flavors is where Sweet Glory stands out, with options like matcha, ube, pandan, earl grey, durian, and tiramisu giving the menu a more unique direction compared to traditional cake shops. The matcha crepe cake had a clean, earthy flavor that balanced well with the cream, and the ube version offered a sweeter, more dessert-forward profile. The Asian-inspired flavors are what make the café feel distinct, especially for anyone looking for desserts that feel familiar but still creative. The drinks are also worth pairing with the cakes. We tried a matcha latte and a hojicha tea, both of which complemented the desserts well and felt thoughtfully prepared. The matcha was smooth and balanced, and the hojicha had a deep, roasted flavor that paired naturally with the sweeter crepe cakes. The menu has enough variety for both coffee and tea drinkers, and the combination of a slice of crepe cake with a warm tea or iced drink makes the experience feel more like a café visit rather than just a dessert stop. Service is straightforward with counter ordering, and the overall vibe feels casual and welcoming. The staff are friendly and patient, and the pace of the visit stays relaxed even when the café gets busy. The space has good music and a comfortable layout that works well for relaxing or getting some work done, and the back patio adds another layer to the experience that makes the visit feel more complete. Sweet Glory is a great dessert café for anyone who enjoys creative cakes and a calm café setting. The variety of flavors, quality of the crepe cakes, and hidden patio make it a spot worth visiting, especially when you want something more unique than a standard bakery dessert. The balance of a well-curated menu, a comfortable environment, and a peaceful outdoor space makes it a place that rewards lingering and returning to try different flavors.

The nuts were not fresh and crunchy. I liked the tiramisu much better but it's not in anyway better than a real tiramisu cake. It was interesting to eating thin layers of pancakes nicely frosted with cream. It is obviously a labor of love to make. There's a lot of different flavors but I'm on the fence about trying another one.
