    Great matcha latte, warm and genuine service, upbeat jazz and cozy interior for a bright weekend morning.

    so cute! Such a lovely coffee shop on polk with plenty of seating & good quality coffee. Prices are relatively reasonable as well

    Egg and cheese croissant
    Terence T.

    I can hear chasing a high from a previous take away order here of the same egg and cheese. Back then it was super gooey and warm and the perfect texture. Sadly it was not replicated this time. An average taste at best, egg was pretty cooked. With a latte and tip this was shy of 20 dollars Service was alright, very friendly staff, however I was rather off put that they stared at the screen as the tip section came on. Cute cafe to sit in due to its interior but I will not be back to sit in it. At least they have compostable straws

    latte
    Kelly A.

    solid latte with such great vibes. really well decorated and clean, modern feel with good lighting. I came early to study and it was peaceful with a great view of the bustling street outside. later in the morning, it got busier as more people came to do work or catch up with friends. would def recommend checking this cute spot out!

    Hot chocolate

    This cafe was cute! Came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was practically empty. I liked the atmosphere as there was a lot of seating and books in the bookshelves. The servers were nice but the pastries on the counter looked a bit old as they looked like they've been there a while. I got a hot chocolate and it came out really quick. However, I lifted up the cup and it felt like the drink was only filled 3/4ths of the way to the top which was disappointing. The hot chocolate was okay; it wasn't too sweet and didn't have anything special about it. I was kind of disappointed as it costed $5.50 which is pretty expensive for a 16 oz drink that was probably only 12 oz as it wasn't filled to the top. Probably won't be back here again.

    First time! We got the chai latte with oat milk and the other drink was a cappuccino. The chai latte was an 8.5/10 - sweet but not too sweet, mild chai flavor Cappuccino was average - not as smoothly blended and on the bitter side - heavy on the foam Cute interior and ample seating to work on your laptop!

    It's so cozy and homey here. They are a café that serves their coffee in mugs instead of paper cups which I like. It seems like a popular place for people that live in the area to grab something before walking to work. It's fun to sit outside and observe busy Polk Street. Closes on the early side at 3pm.

    Moka hot with oat milk

    A perfectly well-balanced cup of coffee + cocoa. This is definitely the place to get a mocha on Polk in the city. Also, I love the educational mural on the wall. I learned so much about coffee beans!

    Canadian bacon, egg, and cheese croissant

    My favorite coffee shop on Polk and my favorite mocha in all of SF! Food: my go to drink order is a mocha with oat milk (hot or iced, they're both amazing) and my go to food order is the Canadian bacon, egg, and cheese croissant. Consistently delicious! Service: above and beyond! The folks here are so kind and not to mention, extremely efficient Ambiance: cute and cozy! Their indoor space is perfect for getting some work done. Lots of seating and outlets! They have a few outdoor tables and seats that are great for enjoying your drink on a warm day

    I had the biggest caffeine itch and stopped by Moka. I got an iced latte and left feeling not quite satisfied. The drink felt more watery than I would have preferred. However the staff was quite friendly and the inside has nice seating options.

    I ordered a mocha. Asked whats good cashier said mocha hence the name of the store. I was here on a Sunday. Lots of casual lounge space inside. Food: mocha had Lots of chocolate. Yummy dessert. Ambiance: nice lounge area. Not ideal for homework.

    This spot is so quaint and cute! The ladies working here are honestly so nice, and during the weekdays the mornings in this coffee shop are really chill and quiet. Brought my laptop and worked here for the first few hours of the day and it was perfect. There were outlets and free wifi, and had the perfect spot facing the window. Felt like working outside! Got myself an oat milk latte & and egg and cheese croissant and they even warm it up for you without asking!

It seems like there's also an upstairs but did not get the chance to check it out. I got an iced latte with their almond macadamia milk, and they're also so nice to do complimentary cold brew! So we got an extra drink for free. Trying the iced latte, it was pretty disappointing lol. I thought it would be similar to like a Hawaiian style latte with macadamia milk, but it was a lot lighter than I thought. It was definitely very nutty, but it also just tasted like water down latte. Honestly not much going on with the drink, but it does taste lighter in general. Crazy have to pay $1.50 more to add on this milk. Overall, its alright. I do like the natural lighting coming into the shop, but nothing too special.

We were also able to get seats despite it being busy. My partner and I got the strawberry matcha cloud and yuzu matcha cloud, though we were also tempted by the seasonal ube flavors. Both were great - on the sweeter side, but that was perfect for a hot afternoon. We ate most of the yuzu foam like ice cream because it was so tall lol then we mixed it into the drink. I think that was a good call because if we mixed all the yuzu foam into the drink, it might have overwhelmed the matcha flavor. Overall had a great time visiting this cafe and enjoyed our drinks. Would definitely come back again to try other drinks on the menu!

My first experience, there was not the best because my friend got rancid milk in their Matcha, but the the shop contacted me and let me know that they made changes to prevent something like that from happening again. I really respect and appreciate how they handled the situation.

After I ordered, I took a seat in the waiting area by the Togo window to wait for my order. There was plenty of tables for dining in, but they were filled so I grabbed my order to eat outside. There was a little area in the front of the store for you to eat at. Stonemill matcha has been on my radar for a long time now and I'm happy to say I was not disappointed. I ordered the matchazuke 4.5/5 and the matcha latte 4/5 and they were both delicious. The matchazuke was perfectly savory, each bite packed full of umami. The piece of salmon was seasoned nicely, not too salty and paired perfectly with the matcha. The matcha broth was so comforting, you could taste the bonito dashi they used to make it. I was worried the portion would be too small but it was pretty filling! The matcha latte had a beautiful deep green color and was creamy and not too sweet. I did noticed that it was a little grainy, which was the only thing I didnt like about this experience. My partner ordered a hojicha latte and said it was a 5/5 and it's her new favorite place to get hojicha latte in SF. I would definitely come back and try more of their menu. I'm eyeing that matcha silk pie!

I tried the hojicha with strawberry. The strawberry paired nicely with the hojicha without overpowering it. The hojicha was nutty and earthy. There is a line to order for takeout in the restaurant and pick up is outside through a window.

It's located at the filthy corner of 4th and Clara, which made the outside smell of urine. Fortunately the cafe itself is pretty clean, which is a nice escape from the street. I ordered an Americano and my friend got one of their $8+ lattes, which were fine, but nothing special. My biggest gripe was the service and absolute scorn of the customer. My friend and I sat at the counter basically in a staring contest with the woman behind the counter, who just stared right back. After some 30 seconds, we finally flagging her down to place our order. After turning around the drinks suspiciously quickly, my friend and I sat down to catch-up in the empty cafe. Before long, the barista pumps up the volume, increasing higher and higher every 5 minutes or so, as if to signal to us that our time was up. I asked her to turn down the volume, which she tuned down from an 11 to a 7, but minutes later it continued to creep up, like the snooze setting of an alarm clock coaxing you to wake up - except in this case, to get out. Ultimately, the volume got unbearable and we finally threw in the towel and got out of there to let the barista enjoy her music. Definitely never going back there - they clearly don't want the business. Food: 5/10 Service: 0/10 Price: $$ Atmosphere: 4/10
