I love that this coffee shop is in my area. I feel its hard to find good coffee shops outside of downtown that have wifi, chargers, and lots of tables. I have been three times now, and enjoyed all of the coffees I have tried. I recommend trying out a dirty chai when you have a chance. I especially enjoyed the breakfast sandwich and almond croissant, and I look forward to testing out more food on their menu. I recommend this coffee shop if you need to get some work done or want to drink coffee and watch cute dogs come and go with their owners. read more

Matching Half Cafe - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

Matching Half is a charming neighborhood cafe that serves Andytown Coffee. It's right across from Automat and the environment is perfect for getting some work done. I haven't tried their pastries or muesli bowls yet but I love that their coffee is strong and consistently good. If you're driving, parking is usually pretty easy to find with plenty of two hour parking spots nearby. I also recommend checking out Bob's Donuts on your way out! read more

Cute neighborhood cafe, with free wifi and decent amounts of seating. I saw a lot of people doing work and also chit chatting! Lattes are still on the pricier side ($6-6.75), but tasted good. They also have a small food menu with sandwiches and bowls. read more

Yummy breakfast sandwiches and delicious coffee. Cute place and decor. Very friendly staff.

Great cold brew and breakfast sandwiches. It can get busy on weekends and first thing in the morning so I try to time my visits around that.

There was a bit of a wait, both to order and to receive the drinks. It was a weekend morning, we weren't in a hurry and the outdoor seating was nice, so we didn't mind the wait. I had a mocha -- I really enjoyed it. Not too sweet like many cafes tend towards. Milk foam art's always a nice touch. I'd come back again. read more

I ordered their protein bowl and it came with mushy strawberries and old browning mushy bananas. Eeek I hate to waste food but I can't eat this. I wasn't a fan of the coffee either, it tastes like burnt coffee beans. Service was good and ambiance was beautiful so giving it 3 stars instead of 1. read more

Cute coffee shop! Came here to study during the day on a weekday and it was still packed! Great place to work with a laptop, but hard to find a place to sit. Ended up standing by the window with my latte, which was pretty good but perhaps a little pricey. Didn't get to try any of the pastries but looked good, and it was fun to people watch! read more

I came here on a weekday to work with some friends. The space is a bit small but if you get here early you can get seats. There are a few outlets and free wifi. I ordered a dirty chai which was ok - it wasn't as flavorful as I hoped it would be. I did enjoy my breakfast egg sandwich!! It was made right in front of me so it was nice and warm. read more

Amazing service and coffee. I love walking in a seeing a smile. It's genuinely my favorite coffee shop in the city. It feels like home and the honey cinnamon late is great read more

I've been here twice now - their coffee is fantastic. The cappuccino, latte, and iced americano are all excellent. However both times I've come here I've had issues with my food missing ingredients. The first time I ordered the avocado radish bagel, the egg was forgotten - thankfully the employee remembered and made me a new one before I left. The second time, we opened our breakfast sandwiches to find no avocado after we specifically paid for avocado. Just make sure you give your food a quick check before leaving (we were already home when we saw)! In general, the food, coffee, and service are good, but the food is nothing extraordinary. read more

Matching Half Cafe - Avo Radish Bagel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Francisco, California

In terms of coffee, this place is great. In terms of food, not so great. I got an iced latte and the espresso shot was good. I enjoyed my latte a lot but unfortunately not my bagel. I got an avocado and radish bagel and sadly, the bagel itself was incredibly tough. It was dense and difficult to chew. The one positive is the fillings inside were tasty. read more

Super cute cafe in San Fran that I stumbled upon. The space is a little tight for seating or waiting on to go orders which is my only complaint. Otherwise the food looked delicious - avocado bagel sandwiches, and I ordered a latte which was delicious and the perfect temperature. A small was $4+ which is a little pricey given the size. Also OMG their homemade pop tarts are a must. read more

If like just milk as your coffee this is your place! I got a cinnamon honey coffee and I watched them make it. There was no honey in it and like 2 molecules of cinnamon. We got two bagel sandwiches things and the bread WAS HARD like crouton hard. Like we couldn't even bit into it. It was relatively busy on a Sunday when we went so I found it surprising there bagels were so old and hard. Very expensive for pretty bad food and coffee read more

So glad to have found another cute cafe with comfortable outdoors seating. This coffee shop has the cutest interior greenary. The sidewalk tables are also really nice and I would come back just for the space and chill vibe. The food was less impressive than the menu made it seem. I liked the avocado radish bagel, but it was under-seasoned and the bagel had dry bits in it that revealed its lack of freshness. The latte tasted watery, but was foamy and cute-looking. Overall I liked this place more for its ambience than its food. read more

Nice outdoor seatings. However the latte is a bit too sour for my taste, and the bagel was dry and bland. read more

Don't be fooled by their homemade poptarts. The price for one is costly and um...do you see the raspberry filling? Yeah, neither did I. I just tasted dry crust and they said to keep eating until I got to the middle. Um, here's a picture of the middle. Where's the filling? Average coffee but disappointing poptart, but since I want to support local businesses I'll give this 3 stars instead of two. read more

Exceptional neighborhood coffee place. Love the coffee and the food and the humans who work there. It's a nice, friendly place to work (WiFi and outlets available) for a change of scenery from my house. I highly recommend Matching Half and a shout out to Gracie who is so nice read more

I really wanted to like this cafe, and I've tried it on two occasions before writing this review (to be sure it wasn't a one-off poor experience). First off, the service is incredibly slow. There were 10 people in line ahead of us, and it took 40 minutes to receive our coffee. This is really disappointing. Second, both of my drinks were made incorrectly. One seasonal latte was missing the honey entirely, and tasted very poor as a result. The second drink was served so cold that I had to take it back. Even stranger, they re-made the cold drink and offered to refund the purchase if it still wasn't hot enough. This makes no sense - they easily could have made the beverage any temperature they desire. Even after remaking the drink, it was room temperature and needed to be microwaved for a full minute at home. Overall, I do not recommend this cafe and will not be back. Waiting 40 minutes for two incorrect drinks is wild, I'm very surprised! read more

The Apple & Brie sandwich was simply made, but really tasty! A baguette with slices of apples and brie with arugula and honey! Great combo of flavors. Good for a light meal or heavy snack. Pretty comfortable little spot, with both inside seating and outside. Didn't try their coffee, so no comment on that. read more

LMAO at these other reviews with hangry, impatient people. If you go to a cafe expecting to be in and out in 5 minutes, put in a mobile order and go to the Starbucks on Fulton. This is THE neighborhood cafe, and I'm so lucky that I live within a 5 minute walk of this place! First of all, the building it's in is a gorgeous ornate large Victorian apartment building complete with stained glass and beautiful details and paint. It's got plenty of seating especially outside where they've managed to expand to two parklets (fingers crossed they never get rid of these)! It's perfect on especially sunny days. All the locals who come in have cute dogs and are friendly and everyone is genuinely stoked to be here together, enjoying good coffee and good food (which, would ya believe it, takes longer than 2 minutes to put together). Check it out; I'll see ya there! read more

Expensive and sloooow bored staff with a bored looking staff. The lox bagel was the worst I think I've ever had. Pretty sure my 5 year old cousin can make a better one. Old, stale, untoasted bagel, no capers, hardly any cream cheese, and no onions. My boyfriend ordered a breakfast sandwich with croissant on the outside, no croissant. read more

I really wanted to like this place, but I guess I am not cut out for pretentious SFO neighborhood cafes! Soulshine was WAY more fun and yum! We stopped here for some quick breakfast. The girl getting my order was so distracted with the other girl she was talking to, it took her 2 transactions to get 2 drinks and 2 sandwiches right, ugh. She was also super cold and not friendly. There was one guy (who honestly looked like a high school kid) making our sandwiches. Took him 15 minutes to slap cream cheese on bagels and add avocado to one of them. Fifteen.Minutes. I am not kidding about this - also, ours were the only orders he was working on. As I watched him slowly wrap each sandwich in foil paper, I wanted to snatch it out of his hands, he was SO slow. Call me impatient, but it really got on my nerves. The bagels themselves were too chewy, the avocado was browning and stale. Would I come back to this place? Nope..Totally meh experience, and way too overpriced for what we got, to be honest. read more

Love this place, great food even better service. The sandwiches and coffee come out hot and fast and taste like heaven!

i love this place! the shop has a great vibe with big windows and the coffee is so good. you can tell the beans are sourced well and they prepare the best drinks. not to mention, the baristas are so sweet and welcoming. (Gracie is my favorite ) highly recommend! read more

My favorite cafe in the city by far! fantastic service and phenomenal quality for drinks and food. personal favorite is the bacon breakfast sandwich, which I get on Croissanti bread, so good. All the employees are super nice and always working really hard! can't say enough good things read more

Environment: It's really warm in there. There are several seatings for 1 person )the bar, 2 people, 4 people, and a group (big table towards the back). I was sitting at the big table and there were several outlets nearby. HOWEVER, none of them work. There are no power to these outlets. WiFi: There is WiFi. It says that it's a 2 hours limit however when I asked for clarification with the staff, they said that it's a honor system. There wasn't that many people that day so the staff said that it's okay. I'm thinking it's because their WiFi is not that strong. Granted, we didn't stay long anyway because my friend's laptop died. Order: I bought a cold chai latte ($5.70 total). It tasted very good! One of the best I've had. I also ordered their poptart-like pastry. Ask the staff for their recommendation and they said the one with brown sugar filling (other options were apricot and Nutella). Not worth the money at all. It looks cute, but it didn't taste like anything. Couldn't really taste the brown sugar. The only delicious thing about it was the crust. Service: All of them were just chilling. They were helpful but seems uninterested. It might be because it's two days before Thanksgiving? Back to the point, I asked them to heat up my pastry. One of them put it on the grill and literally forgot about it. It took about 20 minutes for another staff to noticed it, looked a little confuse, and then yell out the order. Overall, the shop looks cute and super cozy. Chai Latte is good. Will I go back? Probably not. read more

LONG WAIT for food... yet its delicious. Dont go here in a hurry. Yet its patio is nice to relax on and enjoy the local smoker puffing away at their cigarette without a care in the world for others oxygen. Lol, I did ask the smoker to move and they did... yet besides that the atmosphere is inviting. I would've given 5 stars yet the gal at the sandwich board was meticulous yet incredibly slow paced at placing of all things on the sandwiches, making it take very long. I get the meticulous part working on sandwiches is a fine art I appreciate- yet it can be done in a timely manner... pretty sure I saw her arrange a couple pieces of onions on the side salad nearly four times. Slightly borderline OCD...but what do I know I'm not a doctor yet I have worked in a Deli for years and waiting for half hour -forty five minutes didnt seem like a feasible turnover for deli food. Also, when I got my sandwich it didn't have bacon on it... I said I had asked for it. She said it doesnt come on the sandwich, I said check the ticket. Then she toasted some bacon to put on the sandwich to make for a longer anticipatory wait... all while there was bacon on top the toaster (I'm assuming ready to be consumed or maybe it was burnt). I dont know... youd think being meticulous youd also pay attention to detail like what's on the ticket. My sandwich was good nonetheless... and the side salad was also great. I got a Turkey & Jack, which had avocado and arugula on it. Their restroom is nice and the barista/cashier was easy on the eyes and very helpful. He suggested I grab a homemade pop-tart since that they make there and I didnt regret that at all since I was so hungry. If he didnt suggest that I prob would've gone behind the bar and made my sandwich myself. The brown sugar pop-tart was delightful. Not to mention he made some amazing mocha art in our coffee.

Their housemade almond milk is delicious - SO much better than cartons. Wonderful iced matcha latte!

Cute spot with decent food and coffee. Parking is not great in this part of NOPA and beware of street cleaning and other parking signs (as in all areas of SF). There isn't a ton of indoor seating and when we were there they kept the door open and it was a bit cold. There is also outdoor seating. The vibe inside is cute and it would probably have been better to be there on a warm, sunny day. I got a honey cinnamon latte which was good and also the breakfast egg sandwich. The breakfast sandwich had really yummy bread and was simple and delicious. Staff were friendly and they were playing Carly Rae Jepson so yep, this place works. read more

This place has most of what I would expect in the perfect study cafe. The ambiance is really nice with floor to ceiling windows, and I really appreciate thicker wooden tables as well. I had the lox bagel which was super high quality and my iced latte came in a large glass and didn't seem watered down. The only negatives I would say are: -the internet was quite slow on a not so busy day, it was a bit of a struggle to stream a YouTube video in low quality -only one outlet was working, underneath the cream/sugar table so quite unaccessible. This seems like the perfect place to hang out / catch up with friends though. read more

I decided to take a walk through my neighborhood and after an hours stroll started feeling thirsty and hungry. This spot was quiet and looked decent enough so I grabbed a menu and ordered the salami panini. I paid and warmed a seat by the window while I waited. Then the cashier announced they were out of salami. Slightly bummed but an easy fix since I already had a second choice in mind... the apple and brie panini. Moments later a plate with a good looking panini was placed in front of me. I assumed the panini would taste as good as it looked and I was correct. The bread was crisply toasted without being so hard that it shaves the inside of your mouth. The brie was delectable and they gave a generous ratio of brie to apple and arugula. The honey sweetness on top made this a 5 star package because every bite got increasingly better. I would love to make this at home! Aside from the 5 star panini, I also liked the staff and overall feel of the venue. It's a small establishment but comfortable and the staff made it more relaxing with polite chat. I noticed the male cashier initiated conversation with every customer and everyone ordering looked so happy during their stay and upon leaving. I don't think he was the owner (he seemed a bit too young) but he seemed to have a genuine like for his job which made my experience there better. I already know I'm bringing my friends here again soon and will be ordering the brie apple panini again and again. read more

Really cute coffee shop. I love the patio seating and the hip interior. The service was also good. I ordered a soy cap (see in photo how it looks like a latte?) and it was very good! However, after getting through the first layer of foam, I was sad to see that there was only an inch of foam in my cappuccino, thus making it a latte. Regardless, it was really solid. My cousin ordered granola and it looked very good as well. I'm allergic to bananas so I didn't take a nibble but the portion was nice. Lots of people in this cafe working and reading so it's a bit tough to find a spot during their peak hours. read more
