We came by after a workout class nearby to grab coffee on a Saturday morning. This cafe is super…read morecute inside for vinyl playing and an adorable little vintage photo booth that you can print a token to take home. We got the iced peanut butter cream latte and a cold brew to try. The sweet dessert cold brew was nice but the peanut butter latte was honestly a bit disappointing as the latte itself was pretty bland (my pet peeve is when a latte just tastes like milk) and the cream top, while it was nutty, needed something else. It was almost not sweet enough and not roasty/bitter enough to be flavorful. The vibes are great here and I'd come again but perhaps need to try a different drink.

It wasn't bad but barely any matcha :( hope the proportions have improved since.. Caramel latte was just a traditional, nutty latte, was pretty good and presented beautifully but price point is high for something basic and small. Glad another aesthetic coffee/matcha shops around union square, but there's definitely a lot of competition in sf.

At the time, Outset's website was broken so I had to use DoorDash instead to order ahead. I got an osmanthus latte, whole milk, less sweet, one shot espresso, hot. It was done ahead of schedule, took only 5 mins. I like that you can still taste the floral notes of the osmanthus and that it's not overpowered by the coffee as you can choose the amount of shots. It was a little on the pricey side for the quantity, although I notice coffee prices are going up in most bay area shops sadly. It was more spacious than I expected inside and the decor is very orange. I want to try the donut latte sometime in the future, but it wasn't available as an option at the time on DoorDash.

And if you want a cashier that acts like asking about a pastry or changing your mind about one pastry to ask for another (and having to add one pastry off a receipt and add another) is the equivalent of me asking them to wipe my ass for me, and reacts to most things with slamming their hand on the desk and rolling their eyes. At least the strawberry pastry I had was delightful, and the service was so bad that a week later i have to write this

The cashier was very friendly and knowledgeable. Hedge has a purist coffee menu that doesn't have the frilly drinks you typically see in coffeeshop menus these days. Since it was late in the afternoon, I got a decaf espresso with almond milk. It came out quickly. There is seating in the courtyard and around the perimeter of the interior but given the # of people, it felt like seating was really limited. Most people took their drinks to-go. I don't feel like this is the type of coffee shop to hunker down and work on your laptop. They had a DJ playing music and a fog machine in the back. Definitely an energetic vibe. I enjoyed my coffee! I can see the hype and why there's a line. Would be back if I was in the area again.

It had a very subtle matcha flavor, but I couldn't taste the grassiness. The sea green color was aesthetically pleasing when combined with the grassy matcha hue. As a drink, it is refreshing, but as a matcha latte, I felt there was too much milk, which drowns out the matcha flavor. 6/5 Kopi Klepon, Iced This was too delicious, I kept stealing sips from my partner (instead of drinking my own drink) and would order this one again. There was some coconutty sweetness, which added delicious complexity, and slight bitterness that pairs well with the sweet. In terms of flavor, this coffee drink rivals Vietnamese coffee. 4/5 Pandan Bolu This sponge cake-like pastry was springy and bouncy, with a medium green hue. Sadly, there was barely any detectable pandan flavor, but at least it was moist with a good texture. I'd come back if in the area and craving a strong, tasty coffee.

It was busy, but the line moved quickly and we were able to order after a short wait. Our desserts arrived right away, and our drinks followed about 10 minutes later. ​The service was remarkably friendly and warm. When I originally requested oat milk for my latte, the staff kindly mentioned that they use lactose-free milk by default. To help me decide, she even offered small samples of both the lactose-free pandan milk and the oat pandan milk to compare. That extra touch of hospitality was so appreciated! ​We ordered a few Kopi Pandans (with the default lactose-free milk) alongside a couple of their pandan desserts. The Kopi Pandan was brilliantly balanced--it had just the right amount of fragrant pandan without being overpowering or tasting grassy. Having tried my fair share of pandan drinks that missed the mark, I know how hard it is to get that flavor profile just right. ​Of the two desserts we tried, the Pandan Layered Cake slice was the standout. Kopi Kita Coffee also offers a few savory Indonesian snacks (like lemper and arem-arem), which I definitely look forward to trying on our next visit!

I will be visiting their storefront downtown for afternoon pick-me-ups going forward. Junbi Matcha was hired to come into our office today and serve us two matcha options over our lunch break, regular green matcha and strawberry matcha (with strawberry puree). First, I tried the strawberry matcha, and it tasted amazing. It took me a while to determine if the amazing flavor was coming from the strawberry puree or the matcha, and I assumed (incorrectly) it was solely from the strawberry puree. Remember, I don't normally like matcha.... But then, I went back for seconds and asked for the regular matcha, and it blew me away. Super flavorful, but not super sweet. They had non-dairy options for both that I tried, and the sweeeeet kick of caffeine is exactly what I need to get me through the rest of my afternoon. I will definitely be walking to their location downtown to power me through the afternoons!

After all, there isn't a freeway that connects the bridges, so all the vehicular traffic courses through this congested main artery like a coronary you just know is bound to happen. That's what makes it less than desirable to be a pedestrian on this block. However, this compact coffee spot does an exemplary job in mitigating the traffic noise and safety distractions by serving solid caffeine options. I survived the crosswalk and had a satisfying $5.50 Cold Brew (Photo 7) next to the window. That's all I can ask.
