No more bingsu. Worker was so nice! I liked their food options as well. Got the London fog and a tuna croissant sandwich. The drink was ok - could be stronger. The sandwich was great and huge! We stayed here to get some work done and stayed longer than we realized without the worker minding. Very friendly to remote workers. Eventually starts filling in with other remote workers in the afternoon. Would come again for studies. Piano is set aside. Lots of seating. Has WiFi. Key to bathroom read more

Tl;dr - they do not sell bingsu anymore. We walked here on a Sunday evening to get the bingsu only to find out that the café switched owners last August, and the previous owner took the bingsu machine, so the café no longer offers bingsu. We asked what other food options were available, but they were sold out of almost everything, so we ended up just leaving. It was a complete waste of time coming, and we left disappointed. Bingsu is/was the primary selling point of this café, and it is even still listed in the highlights description on Yelp, which is extremely misleading. Posting this in the hopes my review reaches others, so they don't come here expecting bingsu. read more

Esther was very hospitable and quickly made our coffee drinks and pastries! The ambiance is very relaxing with a few others working remotely. Esther made sure all areas were clean during our visit. Looking forward to coming back someday for the music at night! read more

I've had occasion to come to this genuinely pleasant coffee spot a couple of times now since it's within my extended neighborhood. The space is divided into two sections. One side consists of a Euro-style prep area set up as an island surrounded by seating, and the other side provides a chill environment with a sofa and coffee table, a banquette and cafe tables, and a small counter and stools. All of the seating surrounds a covered baby grand piano. Usually populated with heads-down laptoppers, I've had my caffeinated boost from the $5 Cafe au Lait (Photo 10) or the $4.25 Iced Americano (Photo 6), usually with something sweet like the $6 Chocolate Chip Cookie with Maldon Salt. All of that has been quite satisfying, but I have been wondering who plays the piano and when. One of the owners is a professional pianist, but I couldn't figure out if there was a performance calendar since the cafe closes at 4PM every day. Apparently amateurs are not allowed to tickle the ivories which is probably a blessing in disguise. Oh well, that means you won't hear me rolling the keys like Bruce Hornsby on "The Way It Is". JK, I can't play a lick, but I can fantasize, can't I? COFFEE / SWEETS - 4 stars...smooth brew...as-needed calories as they offer lunch options AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...stylish with an unused piano SERVICE - 4 stars...efficient TOTAL - 4 stars...nice neighborhood haunt but when does the recital start?

Sunday, August 10, 10am, 2025: I'm so bummed! Walked all the way here to have a yummy repeat Avocado Toast experience. Apparently, the new owner took over last week & all the sandwiches are off the menu. Dento is now only offering coffee, tea, etc beverages & pastries. Got to admit, they served up a righteous flaky pastry, & my London Fog was perfection. There's also a beer bar. The baby grand piano in the center of the dining area has been replaced by an upright against the wall. The clean, comfy, modern furniture is still there, but gone is the carefully curated stylish tableware. I can't really complain because the new owner made a business decision aligning with the neighborhood. If you're looking for takeout or a place to linger over a newspaper or laptop, you are welcome here. I always wondered how such a lovely place survives in a sad section of Folsom Street. Then I noticed the cafe is next to Dore Street. (If you know, you know). Dento is still destination worthy. Support Local! read more

Spacious coffee place in the SOMA area where you can just work and has free WiFi. It is very quiet too! I came for the coffee and it was just ok. I also was hoping to have some bingsoo but it's not on their menu. read more

Seriously a hidden gem in SoMa! My friend took me here for the first time exactly one year ago, and I've been here multiple times since. The mango bingsoo here is STELLAR, truly one of the best ones I've ever had -- both from a presentation (look at how much mango they put in there and how they slice it!) and taste standpoint. The inside is totally charming even though the café is located in not the most beautiful part of the city (SoMa). There's a big grand piano and both table/couch seating, and the Korean husband/wife are really friendly and often around. The folks at the counter are also very friendly and happy to give suggestions for ordering. Drinks are just ok here, but bingsoos are a must order. Come here for great vibes, great desserts, and to support a small business! read more

I've seen their sidewalk board advertising sandwiches every time I walk by the cafe, so finally decided to check it out today. I ordered the tuna & egg salad sandwich on a croissant; my husband ordered the Korean Bulgogi sandwich. Both were delicious. Large portions, too. Loaded with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. We'll be back. read more

Cute WFH cafe with a piano in the middle! They have solid wifi and inside is pretty quiet. This review is specific to the cafe part only but I would come back for the night life. BTW, their Korean Latte is just replacing the espresso shots with some Korean instant brew? My friend and I ordered: Iced Matcha latte ($6) 1/5 - This could be one of the worst matchas I've ever had; it was a super weak artifical green color and was just sweet milk. Hot Matcha Latte ($6) 2.5/5 - A lot better than the iced version but still not very authentic. Mango Bingsu ($18) 4/5 - I love how the mango slices wrapped around the entire bowl and they had extra mango slices drenched in mango syrup. The bingsu was fluffy and it had a second layer where it was more solidified. Tuna Melt Panini ($13) 3.5/5 - Solid and they use a thin white bread! Overall, the drinks were pretty disappointing but food was solid. Staff/service was alright; nothing bad but also nothing good. read more

Dento Piano Cafe is located between SoMa and the Mission district, along the busy Folsom Street. I took public transit and haven't attempted to look for public parking in this neighborhood. The sounds from the street and the coffee maker, along with others' conversations, echo throughout the cafe, so it's better for casual conversations than working sessions. . Mango Bingsoo (4/5): The fresg mango is sliced thinly, and comes with an additional bowl of cubed mango and mango syrup. The shaved ice underneath was flavorless but soft. Serves 1-2 people. . Matcha Latte: (2/5) You can tell by the color alone that the matcha was underwhelming. It's honestly just straight milk and green tea - there's something wrong with either the tea they use or their preparation of it if anything. I wouldn't recommend it. read more

We only came here for their Bingsu but we learned that they just changed owner and their menu. We came here in a group and our friend's son really wanted Bingsu. He was super bummed about it. The place looked clean and the staff is nice too. 3 stars because of disappointment read more

Tbh, i'm not super stoked on this cafe. They get stars for the ambiance and space, but their drinks are seriously lacking. I got an iced latte, and and iced matcha latte. It's hard to find good matchas now due to the shortage and everyone hyping it up, but if you can't make a matcha that tastes like matcha, then take it off your menu. Tasted like milk. They did hand whisk it though which was nice. Latte was too milky. In general, I don't understand why cafes are giving you a large drink, with not enough espresso or matcha. Put it in a 12oz with the right proportions. Don't give me a cup of milk ): Super sad to also not see any bingsu on the menu. Also looks like they rebranded a bit on their IG as they don't advertise it being a piano bar and there are no photos of bingsu anymore. I'm just confused at their concept now. The bar stuff seems to be better from what i'm seeing , but it would be good for them to improve their drinks and to stop watering/milking things down. read more

I cannot recommend Dento enough, i honestly wish i knew about this place sooner so i couldve come more sooner. The service was great, quick, and offered some wonderful suggestions. Not going to lie when i got the avocado toast i was a little taken aback bc its not what it typically looks like. I can say hands down this is the best avocado toast ive ever had. Each bite takes you through sweet, savory, and sour; it was such a ride. Also the shaved ice is a MUST, im totally getting the strawberry one next time. The Ambiance was relaxing and soothing, i cant wait to come back! read more

this is a very cute cafe! you're lucky if you find a place to sit & do some work though. i needed an outlet & ended up having to trade on & off with another studier next to me lol. unfortunately there was no live piano music when i went, but it's still a very calming atmosphere. there's so much space in there, i almost wish there were more tables. the food is nothing too special, but it is good! i got the matcha cookie (very big portion for its value) & a latte but it was made with instant coffee and it just kinda tasted very watered down. i'm hoping to get an actual espresso drink next time i go. read more

Came back for the mango bingsoo! The fresh mango is delicious and super sweet slice thinly with an extra bowl of mango syrup if you wanted something sweeter. I really enjoyed the combo of the mango with the soft shaved ice which was milky and slightly sweetened as well. Perfect for sharing between 2 people! read more

We ordered the mango Korean style Bingsoo and it was delicious! The shaved ice cream was light, refreshing, and tasty and the mango served on top was perfectly ripe! The space is a cute coffee shop with a piano in the main space. The space was a little full when we visited and seating was a bit more limited. The person who took our order was friendly and was ensuring that the space was clean. Overall we had a great experience and plan to return to try the rest of their treats! read more

Very cute, clean place with piano right in the cafe, although I was not there when there was a player. Service efficient. Cannot give 5 stars simply due to price, $6 base price for a regular matcha latte which was more than $7 after tax and tip, and was just a small 12 oz 'regular' size. I suppose I'm at fault for going for it but didn't realize it would be just such a small cup, since I don't normally frequent such places and indulge in pricey beverages. read more

Cutest cafe in Soma with probably the best bingsoo I've had in SF. Their bingsoo is very milky in flavor and they layer mango purée into the ice to ensure there is fruit throughout. The mangos were very sweet and loaded generously on top as well. They were extremely busy on the weekend and forgot our order but were very apologetic about it (gave us additional mangos and a scone). read more

If you're looking for a cute coffee date spot I would recommend this cafe. Warning parking is tough! The inside is really cute and I noticed that their seat cushions resembled stones/ pebbles. I thought that was a nice little touch of detail. There is a good amount of seating so you can chit chat or work away. I didn't get a chance to try the food but I did try their Korean ice latte. Tasted like the instant ones, but not in a bad way. Thank you to the cashier for recommending it. It started off my morning right read more

Love the cute piano cafe concept, the interior of the cafe is very nice and sometimes they have someone playing the piano! The sandwiches were nothing special, to me they were quite pricey for something I could make at home. They also took a very long time to come out, but they seemed quite short-staffed. The mango bingsoo was very cute and had a good ratio of mango to ice, but overall it still felt small for the price. read more

I used to go here fairly often but I won't be going back. I ordered a large iced latte with an extra shot and the barista served me mostly foam in a tiny cup with no extra espresso. When I pointed out that I had ordered a large he said there was only one size for iced drinks. I told him I paid for a large (plus an extra charge for an additional shot and a tip!) and he was surprised that was even an option on their payment system. His only response was "sorry" without offering a refund or anything else. Terrible service and a terrible barista. I'll be going to the cafe around the corner from now on when I'm at work. read more

Lowkey spot in SoMa. Clean and the barista was friendly and organized. Really solid coffee too.

I've been bamboozed; I was told I could eat the entire bingsu by myself but it was too much!!!! I got the Korean one, and it was so yummy--lots of toppings and I liked the the condensed milk came on the side. Really cute study vibe with free wifi and a bathroom. I'd go back to see someone play the grand piano. Not a ton of seating though read more

Such a cute place! The perfect hangout with friends or somewhere to work from for a little bit. The servers were all friendly and the food was ready very promptly as well. We only ordered one thing the mango bingsoo which was such a big and filling size! It was wonderful, the mango on top is cut so delicately and clearly given a lot of care and attention. The mango sauce they serve with it is the perfect way to refresh the shaved ice as you're eating it. And at times I believe they have live piano as well. Lovely place can't wait to go back and try more! read more

What a lovely spot! Immaculately clean and vibey, they also have free wifi and a lot of nice seating. The owners seem Korean so there are things like Misugaru, Korean Latte, and a bunch of Bingsus to try. I loved doing some work here in the afternoon, as it's not too loud or crowded either. The location is a just a bit odd in SOMA. Will def be back! read more

I had gone there specifically for the mango sticky rice & it turns out they completely changed the menu. They don't play any piano anymore. I went in anyways because I wanted to support the business and I ordered a sandwich but as I started paying, the system wasn't functioning properly. I got charged twice because they told that payment hadn't gone through and then I checked on my wallet and I had gotten charged twice! Had to go back and then the next person after me in line was also charged incorrectly (he paid for my food). I had to ask for a refund and they just kept saying that I wasn't even charged for the food because it didn't appear on their system. I had to be firm and let them know I was charged.. it was such a mess. The food was delicious though. read more

Showed up ready to love this place but ended up disappointed. We stopped by mid Saturday afternoon excited to try this amazing looking coffee shop. First off, if you're coming for coffee... don't. They were out of iced coffee and offered their specialty... an instant coffee. My man ordered an iced coffee and they didn't even have that. So he got a cold brew and I got an iced matcha. I liked the matcha a lot, I'll give them that. The cold brew was mediocre. Their syrups are syrups you can buy at Walmart. Customer service was ok, nothing that stood out. The place itself was low key messy. Kind of cluttered with stuff. All I'm saying if I was in the area again and wanted a coffee, this wouldn't be my first choice. read more

Cool spot! I came here on a weekday morning to get some work done. Decent amount of seating, but not many outlets at all (or I couldn't find them), so definitely come fully charged. The WiFi is also pretty darn slow, even for browsing, so was also a limiting factor. I got a cortado, and the espresso pull itself was solid. Well balanced and smooth. The milk was off though (as you can see in the picture). Just pretty rough, too bubbly and not smooth, which led to a lack in texture. I'll probably be back to try their bingsoo for dessert, but don't think I will for the coffee or as a place to work! read more

On one of the hottest heatwaves in SF, so thankful I found this spot! It's a cozy environment so if you want to work out of a cafe, meet up a friend or take someone on a coffee date, this is it! They have so many different option and have a happy hour menu. We got a mango bingsu, a beer and a cocktail drink. Their bingsu was perfect as it was able to cool us down. The cocktail has yuzu so a bit of Asian flavoring to it that normal cocktails at a bar. I liked the vibe it brought as it sort of bridged the Korea style dessert to American style dessert/drinks. Their staff was extremely knowledgeable and gave great recommendation. I didn't know what a Korean latte was and the cashier was able to give descriptive details on how it tasted (I ended coming back a few days later to try it and it was accurately described!). They bring the order to you and give a warm greet and goodbye! read more

Came here on a Friday on a very hot day, which was perfect. Also there was no line and no wait. I got the mango patbingsoo with no syrup. Soo good, mangoes were ripe and fresh. I liked that they cut the mango slices very thin too. Cute unique little utensils as well (shovels for spoons). Very refreshing and not too sweet. Highly recommend this place for a light dessert that's not too sweet. read more

i went for their bingsu, but apparently it's only available in summer. i like their coffee, but there is not anything that stands out to me. it's a quiet place to study and do work, but the nearby area does not have much accessible parking. i like the design of the interior, and they seem to host events, which i can see being very pleasant in this space. the service is a little slow. read more

Came here for their pastry and cocktail happy hour on a Thursday afternoon. Love the vibes and aesthetics of this place. Super calming, attractive pastries, and I got the yuzu cocktail. The cocktail was 10/10, yuzu flavor very strong and on point. The croissant was disappointing because it was not flaky nor sweet enough (but it was the end of the day).

Staff were all super friendly as well! read more

I don't know what kind of black magic they use to make their matcha latte, but the first sip was heavenly. The matcha flavor comes through and is perfectly incorporated with the milk. The ice is fantastic. The vibes of the place are quite cozy and features a piano in the middle, but I came during a Monday morning so didn't get to experience the magic. Barista was friendly and service was pretty quick. You can see them making drinks and it adds to the nice homey vibe of the shop. Would come again! read more
