    Cappuccino
    Sue L.

    This is a lovely spot to have a coffee and a pastry in the sun ( or inside ) We had a new puppy with us yesterday and today; outside rewarding her with treats for sitting and enjoying the coffee (our treat) was the order of the day for us. They are busy with take out for people coming to and from BART or people parking briefly out front to collect their coffees or breakfasts.

    This coffee spot is top notch! A+ I got the The Embarcadero sandwich - Turkey, provolone, lettuce, tomato with a slammin pesto aioli on a nice fresh Ciabatta. Definitely bangin! She got tomato, cucumber & cream cheese on an everything bagel. We were both delighted. Ice coffees were killer & the couple running the place were super sweet. They received a large order right before ours & they gave us each a flan for the wait, which wasn't even that long. Stoked to have this spot in the neighborhood & cant wait to come back & support. These guys rule!

    Another five stars coffee place. Like always How would that be! Let's try! It's on south SF somewhere looks like laundromat Had to park one block away. The coffee was cheap I think. I tried the Iced coffee it was very sour and tasted like Italian vibe ish. Somewhat blue bottle ish. Cold brew was not bitter or a little plain but strong. I liked that. There were a lot of coffee shops down the streets. Is this one particularly surviving for some reson? I want to try their speciality next time. Perhaps some lattee

    Quick take: Cutest little cafe This is one of the cutest little cafes. The couple who works here are the friendliest people. Greeted by the most hospitable smiles. I ordered a vanilla latte, plain bagel with cream cheese, and a Sunset sandwich to go. There are 3 window seat tables but it is currently occupied. I see a guy playing the guitar outside. Great Saturday morning vibes. The service here is great. I will definitely be back. :) Super close to the BART station.

    The Sunset and latte

    Such a cute little cafe run by a friendly couple. We recently moved into this area and I decided to give this place a try for my lunch. I went around noon and it was pretty quiet around that time. I was greeted very pleasantly by the owner. I ordered a latte and the sunset sandwich. He immediately made a latte for me and handed it over so I can enjoy it while I wait for my sandwich. It was amazing to see the couple work so diligently and with such enthusiasm. The latte was just perfect and I loved the sandwich. I think I found my lunch spot in this town! Amazing place! Also, the sandwich is so huge for such a reasonable price which was such a pleasant surprise in the otherwise expensive bay area!

    Soy latte day.

    The Havana is my favorite item, which is coffee with condensed milk/syrup and is pretty sweet. Their drip coffee/lattes are good if by themselves. The popular coffee drinks are in small-medium-large sizes, while the specialty coffee drinks are medium-sized. There are a variety of pastries and croissants to pair with said coffee and you're good. If you're health-conscious, they also carry on-the-go bottled nutritional, vitamin-infused and juices if you prefer the colder variety. Likewise, there are organic snacks and other health foods, even Belgian chocolates - some of these are hard to find. This cafe is near the Glen Park BART station (head away from the intersection of Diamond and Bosworth) where Diamond St ends and Monterrey Blvd begins. It is literally steps away from the BART station! The staff are the friendliest. The clean, bright interior with rotating art pieces garnered that fifth star.

    Coffee from cup to go

    Cup cafe is where you should be going to support s local business. The owners are in there pretty much every day working their butts off to run the cafe. Coffee is good and they have the same lemon scones as Peet's, which I love. Previously I had thought that there were no outlets, but there actually are along the walls!! Only downside is the fact that it can get hot in there, but it doesn't stop me from doing work here frequently. If you need to stop for coffee on your way to bart and this isn't your place, you're doing it wrong!

    There was no kitchen, only a toaster and a microwave. For the bacon egg and cheese, they microwaved the egg in a plastic cup.

I went on a weekday and was hoping to get some work done. Most of the seats were available when I got there and the staff kindly shared the WiFi. They were overall extremely friendly and just their vibe made me want to go back again. I think a pitfall of a lot of SF coffee shops is the food, but both the drinks and food were superb and just what I needed to kickstart my day. They have unique flavors and seasonal drinks. I'm inspired to make my way through the menu! PS if you're a transit girly like me, this is right along the K line!

Order a latte ($5.75) which contained pretty good coffee beans, some cherry and chocolate notes. The barista was quick at making the drinks. The matcha is hand whisk here as well which is awesome to see. In addition, the baked goods are from local bakery in Noe Valley and there's also warm food. I'll come to try the food next. Overall, a wonderful coffee place to work and hangout.

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.

If you find your self in the cuts of the city at Park Merced this is the spot to get a refreshing drink. San Francisco is the city I was born and still "stay" I drink coffee and tea almost " everyday" at a local "cafe"which included matcha for Don Juan de la Matcha and Viet coffee "Crème Brûlée" Go where matcha is "made" in SF with a different "shade "at a cafe called "Jade" and if it's sunny and you feel sour grab some "lemonade"
