    Second time coming - beautiful spot but don't expect to find parking easily. They're tucked into the back corner next to their community garden which I love. I tried their chai and you could tell that they did not just a bunch of sweetener and a powder. It was really "strong" in the best way possible. Space is a bit small and crowded so wouldn't recommend for studying but a great place to bring your kids (coloring station and tiny tables for them) and their garden has outside seating.

    Cute little hidden cafe in the neighborhood! The matcha latte was great! I'm not sure if there was food here.. I didn't see any but this cafe is cozy and quirky :) definitely stop by for a unique cafe experience. Service is also fast :)

    Such a quant coffee shop, fun art work and beautiful garden next door. Would definitely recommend and visit when in town again.

    Hey Neighbor Cafe is everything I want in a coffee spot -- and then some. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warm, inviting vibes that make you feel like you've stumbled into your stylish best friend's living room (if your best friend also made world-class lattes). The ambiance is so thoughtfully put together -- airy but cozy, modern but still charming, and filled with little touches that make you want to linger. The coffee? Absolutely top tier. You can taste the quality in every sip -- rich, smooth, and clearly crafted with care. Me and my friends have tried everything and each one has been spot on. The pastries are equally as delightful and pair perfectly with your drink of choice when they have them in stock:) What really sets this place apart, though, is the personalized feel. The owner herself is often behind the counter, and you can tell she genuinely cares about each customer's experience. That personal touch makes a huge difference -- you feel less like a transaction and more like a neighbor (which, I suppose, is the whole point!). If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or planning to spend a couple hours working or catching up with a friend, Hey Neighbor Cafe delivers the kind of quality, charm, and hospitality that keeps you coming back. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.

    Great ambiance and cute space! Coffee was good and service was quick. I love that they had a nice seating area.

    ube toast with almond butter and cinnamon sugar, cappuccino, everything toast with cream cheese and homemade marmalade
    Sarah C.

    came on a saturday morning and it was popping! there was only one staff member so it took quite a while to take one's order and make their food/ drink. they only had ube toast and one slice of everything toast left, so we got: - ube toast with almond butter and cinnamon sugar - everything toast with cream cheese and homemade marmalade - cappuccino I liked the actual bread (from ryze up bakery) but the rest were alright. the prices were pretty steep--each base toast was $5.50 but we were not aware that every topping was additional $1-$2 (this was not specified anywhere, and they encouraged you to mix-and-match toppings). you also had to add $1.50 for non-dairy milk. the homemade marmalade was quite bitter, it was mostly orange rinds. the coffee in the cappuccino was extremely acidic, which isn't my preference but you may like it. overall I see this place's charm, they had the loveliest garden and a sweet staff. unfortunately it didn't quite fit my personal preferences

    I love this place. It is a local cafe! The owner is great, and people in this neighborhood know this place well. The owner is one of the sweetest and friendliest small business owners. The rustic ambiance of this place gives it a unique charm. The latte I had was amazing.

    The beautiful greenery lured me into a discovering Hey neighborhood cafe tucked away at the end of Burrows St off San Bruno and a cozy community garden with turquoise tables and chairs to enjoy your coffee on.

    What a cute aesthetic little spot that I found super close to me! Good: - The vibes here are special, it's got an overall rustic jungle look and being next to a garden adds to the experience! - The cinnamon sugar ube toast was incredibly memorable! Super thick slice of bread as well - Good outdoor seating and lots of spots available Bad: - The peppermint mocha here was just alright, it was a little too bitter for me - A little slow on the service, there's just one guy making all of it Overall really liked this hidden gem of a place!

    great coffee, great location ( burrows mini park ) Fantastic owner & crew! A hidden gem!

    Ube toast with butter
    Stephanie L.

    What a cute little cafe! Limited seating indoors and outdoors but very instagrammable. The ube toast was very good - a nice sourdough bread with a hint of ube flavor and overall not sweet with the butter. The latte was well made, and the barista friendly.

    Ah, the last time I ambled over to this bucolic Portola cul-de-sac, this space was a Four Barrel. I wasn't aware they closed this shop during the pandemic, so I was surprised to find the place has a different name, even though the decor and vibe were quite similar. That includes the mural and wildflowers in the pocket park at the end of Burrows Street. I'm not sure where their beans come from, but... I was satisfied with my $6.25 Mocha (photo: https://bit.ly/3jU6Vxe). Very smooth and not overly sweet. It looks like they offer specialty toasts which I'll take advantage of had I not just eaten over in Bayview. I just took my mocha to the garden where an empty plastic stool was awaiting my derrière. Still quite chill here and far enough away from the cacophony of San Bruno Avenue to get you all zen. COFFEE - 4 stars...a fine mocha even if it wasn't Four Barell AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...still a chill location with a comfy pocket park SERVICE - 3.5 stars...barista was busy talking to a regular TOTAL - 4 stars...Mister Rogers would be pleased RELATED - Exploring Portola?

    Amazing staff and beautiful ambiance! The coffee here is of exceptional quality. There are plenty of food options, from croissants to other pastries as well as their signature toast. I recently tried the secret menu item, "chaga-ccino," which is made with Chaga mushrooms. I've always heard good things about chaga mushrooms and their health benefits, but I was absolutely blown away by the similarities with a latte. I'm not sure how the owner made it, but it was delicious. The chagaccino and the chai are the main non-caffeinated drinks here. Otherwise, my go-to order is a standard iced latte. If you come to hang out for a bit, the cafe features plenty of seats inside and out. This seems like the go-to place for folks on the weekends, as it's the perfect spot to catch up and chat in the sun. There's a remodeled park with steampunk installations next to the cafe entrance. This spot is located on a small side street of San Bruno Ave. and always has open parking spots. Dino, the resident pup here, is calm and well-behaved. The cafe hosts some events here and always has flyers for neighborhood parties or street festivals. I'm happy to witness this spot growing into a community outpost. A lot of local customers will come in and give a hug to the owner or grab a coffee and chat with each other. It's the only place I know in the city that exudes such a friendly, welcoming vibe reminiscent of a tight-knit community. There were even some free stickers that would cost $4 each elsewhere! This location was previously Four Barrel, and Hey Neighbor opened around 2021. They've done an excellent job with the upkeep, since all the furniture, floor, and walls are very clean and still look like they did years ago.

Mission street runs by the waterfront of the Embarcadero to the border to county line of San Mateo in Daly City. Every block on Mission street can change from global business giants to mom and pop stores. Mission street at night is different from Mission street in the day time. In the morning there is a hidden gem right off Mission street where the coffee is rich and it's on Richland street. On a Mission street stroll I needed something to perk me up. Making a turn on Richland street I ran into Cafeto Coffee shop. Inside you can get breakfast sandwiches like the chicken pesto panini and also the ham and cheese flakey croissants like some in SF. Don Juan de la matcha was going to get the matcha but wanted to try the ice white mocha instead. It was refreshing and tasty. This is a good hidden spot to grab some good expresso.

A show stopper fit for the amazing moms in our lives. The devils food base was moist and rich and paired perfectly with the salted vanilla buttercream. My family compared it to an upscale Oreo hehe... It also made my mom feel so special which is all you can ask for. 10/10!
