    Turkey & Pesto Melt
    Lito Z.

    This little hidden jem is a cute coffee & brunch spot, although I wish they'd add more to the lunch menu. I had the turkey & pesto panini which was delicious & crunchy. I also had the iced cold brew which was very flavorful and hit the spot. Super caffeinated too. The staff was very kind and inviting. I will be visiting often.

    All round not very good. Don't try the crumble cakes - very dry and hard. My drink was missing two ingredients - the honey and milk. The bacon egg potato burrito is really just 10 pieces of bacon bits in an egg potato burrito. Stomach started feeling weird after. Coffee was not bad at least.

    Eggplant sandwich, iced honey lavender latte
    Mingshi H.

    I was in the area because of a conference and decided to get coffee and lunch here. I got an iced honey lavender latte and their eggplant sandwich. The worker asked if whole milk was okay, and I asked if she had 2% because my stomach does better with 2%; unfortunately they didn't have 2% milk but she said she had nonfat and could mix the two of them if that was okay with me. I really appreciated how accommodating she was! It took some time to order and get my food and latte because she was the main person making the drinks and food, but it was a quick wait given that she was the only worker manning the place.

    Iced Matcha Latte
    Emily L.

    Super convenient location, so I'm always inclined to get a drink here when in the area. I haven't tried the coffee, but their matcha is lacking. It does taste like matcha, but the milk ratio is off and overpowers it, but at least it's not clumpy? The price point isn't too bad either compared to the average prices in the same area. Would skip the matcha here and order something else.

    Mexican mocha and dirty earl
    Emily C.

    Average coffee. Pretty small cup, and I wish there was more ice since it was lukewarm quickly. I would prefer bigger cup, more ice. Baristas were nice and helped answered my questions. The store was very cute and colorful. I got the small Mexican mocha ($4.75) with oat milk (+0.75), and my boyfriend got a small dirty earl. The Mexican mocha tastes like regular mocha with cinnamon, which was quite good. My boyfriend did not like the dirty earl at all, but it wasn't too bad, pretty much a slightly more bitter earl grey tea. I think the room temperature drinks threw us off a little. Overall, it was alright. If you like to try funky, unique flavors then definitely give it a try. They have lots of floral options, but I'm not a fan. Personally, I wouldn't go back.

    The ham and egg " frittata " (quiche lorraine-style. Yum!

Day one was outstanding. We each had our coffee. I ordered a Spanish latte and my lover had the date cinnamon latte. Both were wonderful. He also had Turkish coffee because we were just starting our day. I'm not about that life lol so I was good with my latte. Day two we splurged a little more and had Bee bites, a potato turnover, and a beef turnover. We also had the same lattes because why the heck not? Day three was a sad day when we had to leave home, but not without stopping and grabbing a bunch of snacks to go. I wish I had taken more pictures, but I was more eager to get the food and drink in my mouth than to pop my phone out and waste time. Sorry, not sorry.

I got the rose cake and it was alright. The rose flavor came through and it was a bit artificial (?) or maybe I just didn't really like the texture of a milk cake? Wasn't really my thing.

I'll definitely return to choose entrees from their extensive carousel of items; one of us is definitely getting the chicken & rice! Super friendly service, welcoming atmosphere as if you're family. FiDi spot so open weekdays until 2 or 2:30. You gotta try this spot!

The latte was good, although a bit pricier than I expected at just over $7 with tax. The café itself is small but comfortable, with a handful of tables along the wall and some interesting artwork that gives the space a little character. While sipping my coffee, I noticed they also serve ice cream, and flavors like Red Bean and Black Sesame definitely caught my attention. I managed to resist the temptation this time. A group of students and teachers arrived shortly afterward, making the café a bit livelier, so I finished my latte and headed out. Overall, it was a pleasant place to take a break in Chinatown.

It was a little too gloopy, and towards the end I didn't feel like continuing. If I were to reorder, I would not have the avocado or the spinach in the burrito, and I would have potatoes and eggs instead. Other people in the group had bagel sandwiches which were really gloopy as well (half the avocado squirted out of one), multiple napkins were ineffective at keeping it under control. They ended up using a fork. For all that, it was a little overpriced for a to-go bagel sandwich and the ingredients were not quite what was ordered via kiosk. The poke bowl needed more sauce for flavor; it barely covered the top layer of rice. Order at a touchpad. There is a seat for one inside, but it's pretty cramped. There are two tables outside, with room for two people each. It's also near St. Mary's Square, which is a very pleasant park for to-go outdoor dining.

Today I thought I'd give J&J another chance. 8 months to read citicisms and get its act together. SERVICE: JOE & THE JUICE gained a bad reputation in the Bay Area pre-covid for flagrantly disregarding city law that prohibits retail businesses from going strictly cashless. For good reason: Refusing paper and coin currency is defacto segregation against Black and Brown folks and the working poor and those on a fixed income who are more likely to be restricted to cash transactions. This is an unjust policy, refusing to take "certain people's " money and in my book equals BAD SERVICE. FOOD & BEVERAGES: Upon my return to the large JOE & THE JUICE location in San Francisco's Financial District - which I used to frequent most days of the week for years before the boycott - I ordered my signature drink, Americano + extra shot of espresso with milk. Now although J&J is wildly overpriced compared to other espresso bars and snack joints, the Danish (J&J is a Denmark import and not locally owned, so maybe they don't understand how we do here in the USA) ownership refuses to provide the paying customer options between 1/2&1/2, Whole Milk, 4% Milk, etc. It carries only 2% milk which is just above lightly flavored water. I always have 1/2&1/2 with my cofffee but not at J&J, despite the high prices customers pay. I used to stock this location myself with 1/2&1/2 out of my own pocket from the Walgreens across the street, which a customer shouldn't have to do. BEVERAGES: Well my Americano, honestly, was awful. Tasted like dirty dish water. Old stale coffee bean flavor only slightly diluted luke warm water. BAD PRODUCT. SERVICE: It appears JOE & THE JUICE ownership and management are back to their old tricks again refusing cash payment. I told the manager it's city law thay accept cash payment - payment equality - and he conceded he knew this is the law. I was given the excuse the cash register just happened to be broken and they were waiting repairs, but trust me as one who knows J&J very well this is just BS: they're told to tell customers or city inspectors this and cynically keep going on with their segregationist policy. BAD. BAD. BAD SERIVICE!
