    Caprese sandwich
    Mia K.

    The sandwiches are really delicious but on the pricier side for the side. I could've eaten two of these to be substantially full, and the sandwich was ~$11. The drinks aren't anything fancy. However, the atmosphere is great. There are always people working or talking with friends. It's a great cafe experience but on the pricier side.

    Latte

    Friendly service on a weekend morning! I stopped by Matcha Half Cafe and tried one of their lattes, which was well made. The espresso had a nice depth to it without tasting bitter, and the milk tied everything together into something cohesive. Love the chill vibes of this place!

    The dirty chai was just ok. Cute vibes. The cappuccino was really good. Super cute spot

    Love this place! Super fast and really nice ppl. They have WiFi too so there's always a group of laptop workers sitting in/outside!

    11am Tuesday: The cafe is situated between Western Addition & NOPA, & the edge of Haight Ashbury, serving the locals, no tourists I could see, far enough from Haight & Divisadero street grunge. Like most cafes in the hood, there's a touch of the 70s, heyday of hippy esthetic. Inside the tall ceiling space is local art & the usual laptop village. Outside is a sidewalk wide enough to accommodate 6 cafe tables, no expensive parklet needed. I consulted the menu board & chose the closest thing to avocado toast. Behold the Avo, watermelon radish, raw onion, chili flakes, (added bacon) on a toasted everything bagel. (They only have everything bagels). The combo made for a tasty meal. The raw onions & thin layer of avocado spread kinda made the sandwich taste more lunch than breakfast. Purely subjective. It's hard to find a decent bagel in San Francisco which is a mystery given all the NYC transplants. This bagel is in the top 5 IMO. I will definitely return to sample one of the many custom coffees & whatever is in those green drinks. Loved the vibe, mostly soft rock & the ability to linger reading my NY Times. Yes, I'm a good citizen, left when all the tables got full. Support Local !

    Matcha with oatmilk
    Joyce D.

    Matchy-matchy! I came here with two of my girlfriends to catch up on life and we all ordered the Matcha tea latte with oat milk which was warm, not too sweet, but enough caffeine to get us through the rest of the day to run errands. The cafe is cute with indoor and outdoor seating and it seems that the place is frequented by the local neighbors, which I find very quaint. There are food items you can order but we opted to just stick with our teas during our catch up. The service is fairly quick despite there being a line and we were able to secure a table inside since it was a bit chilly when we went. I love neighborhood cafes like this. It creates this wonderful feeling of community and belonging!

    This was good unique breakfast. Loved the mixture of ingredients in these sandwiches. I swear this cafe was trying to follow the OG Starbucks method with how badly they messed up our names (Iven and Kwen). I enjoyed both items, the breakfast sandwich would've better good with a breakfast sausage instead of ham IMO. I would go again. My friend would too I think but he was going through a rough day at the time 4.2/5

    uninspired and burnt (current crew)

    This was my go to spot even though it's nowhere near me. Good atmosphere, great art and stained glass, killer flowers around the front patio, usually friendly staff that remembers your name with a smile. Great espresso art, and tasty food options. The newer crew doesn't bother to learn names any longer (even if they've seen me half a dozen times), is not very engaging, doesn't pay attention to details (like for here vs to go), and isn't making the consistent high quality product I had come to expect. Uninspired over cooked espresso drinks, hot sandwiches with cold middles. Let's just say it takes a lot for me to not finish my coffee - I didn't finish the last two I've had here. The owner is there at times and is friendly but quiet. I would have posted to him directly rather than posting here but he didn't respond when asked and their website isn't working. I will likely go less often if again. It may be best to wait for a changing of the crew which seems somewhat regular at cafes, and hope the new ones are a return to their previous greatness.

    Iced matcha with house made almond milk
    Connie W.

    Came on a Saturday around noon and it was pretty crowded inside! Line wasn't too long and moved fast, but drinks took a while to make. I got the iced matcha with house made almond milk. The almond milk is very unique and interesting, I'm not sure if I would get it again because it's pretty nutty and grainy but I'm glad I tried it! Honestly couldn't tell how the matcha was, the almond milk made up most of the flavor in the drink. There are a few tables to sit at inside but definitely limited space and feels a little tight. I wouldn't prefer to do work here, also because the lighting is a bit dim inside.

    8oz mocha
    ThuyVy N.

    This place is super cute and has fun games like chess and checkers to play. I just got an 8oz mocha which was a lil too rich and maybe dark chocolate for me. The service was nice. I'd try this spot again and maybe hang here, just didn't like the mocha. Nothing bad with it tho, just lil rich for me Mocha - 6/10

    chicken pesto ciabatta
    Angela Y.

    One of my favorite cafes in SF! Matching Half has coffee, drinks, pastries, sandwiches, and muesli bowls - all of which have wowed me. The baristas are always very nice. The interior is very cute and charming, but there's not a ton of seating inside. If you manage to snag a table, there's also free WiFi! Food - vegan carrot muffin: this muffin wowed me!! It was sweet and had great texture (some nuts and sugar). I would've never guessed that it was vegan. - avoradish bagel: soo delicious! radish, egg, and avocado is such a great combo. - pesto chicken ciabatta: a decent sized sandwich with a generous amount of filling, so tasty! Drinks I've tried - cold brew: smooth and strong - chai latte: delightfully spicy and strong

    This is one of those corner neighborhood cafés in an obscure place. It's nice to get off the beaten path of busy Divisadero. I like how they serve coffee in pretty blue mugs. I always hate going to a sit-down place that has paper cups. They are the same company as Muesi on Union so they offer many different muesli bowls. I wish they stayed open later, 3pm seems like such an early time to close. It used to be open till 6 or so before Covid, hopefully they will change that back eventually.

    Cold Brew + Honey Cinnamon Latte
    Jade J.

    Hmmm, I have my confusions about this place LOL. We came here Saturday morning and it was significantly busy but I don't understand the hype here... like maybe we ordered the wrong thing? I got the Honey Cinnamon Latte with a Sunrise Bowl and my boyfriend got a Cold Brew with a Bacon Egg Ciabatta. Everything tasted very average. Vibe-wise, it gives local cafe energy - there seem to be a lot of families, couples, and students that stop by. I think the interior is very clean and nature-esque, which is very appealing. It is a nice spot to catch up with friends or study/work as they also have wifi. There are quite a few seats as well so that is nice.
