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 drinks and such are still solid. One of my go-tos in this area of Soma. A good place to meet up for coffee or to have a destination to walk to during a one on one. I usually get the adeni chai and it usually comes scalding hot, so be careful. If I wanted to spend a long time working there, I would probably prefer to get a pot, but I'm not sure why someone would spend a long time of this area unless they worked at an office here.

Came here yesterday (Friday) at around 12pm. They have two separate lines for dine-in and take-out…read more There was a line of people waiting for dine-in and fortunately, there was none for take-out. We went straight to the tablet to place our orders. We ordered two Signature Cream Top (Espresso and Hojicha) and the Sohn Breakfast Sandwich. Both drinks were really good. The coffee had a great flavor. The hojicha was strong and delicious. I liked that we could really taste the hojicha, and it wasn't too milky. The sandwich was warm and served with these soft, flaky, square croissant buns. The egg had a soft tofu-like texture. The melted cheese pulled it all together. The onion jam was good but I could do with a little less. Nonetheless, I would not opt out of getting the onion jam; it was unique. The cafe is very spacious and aesthetically pleasing. I love the interior and the way it's decorated. It's modern, warm, and inviting. We would definitely love to come back one day.

I've had this place saved for awhile, and I was anxious to try it on a sunny Saturday, knowing that reviews often mention a long wait. To my surprise, my visit went well and I waited under 30 minutes!! **There's 2 separate lines - To dine in, and to go. I ordered to go. FOOD: 9/10 MATCHA: 8/10 AMBIANCE: 10/10 SERVICE: 9/10 What I ordered: Kimchi Fried Rice ($14) Iced Matcha with Oat-milk and Sweetener ($6) FOOD: 9/10 The kimchi fried rice was so good! I loved how they were not shy with the garnishments (seaweed and green onions). I love that it already came with a well cooked fried egg and I did not have to pay for extra which is rare. I did notice the fried rice was a little bit on the sweeter side but not too sweet, hence why I give it a 9/10. MATCHA: 8/10 They have GOOD quality matcha! I give it an 8 because personally, it was too strong for me despite paying extra for sweetener. It honestly did not taste like they added sweetener so I had to add my own at home. But honestly, their Matcha can easily be a 9/10 rating for those who just like matcha and milk on it's own. There's no doubt the matcha was good quality, whisked well, and not grainy. AMBIANCE: 10/10 I loved the aesthetic and ambiance at Sohn. It's very spacious both for the waiting area and to dine in. There's an upstairs and downstairs, and I noticed there was kitchen-side seating as well. Sohn is modern, sleek, and elegant but not overly decorated. SERVICE: 9/10 Although when ordering to go, you order on your own through the kiosk so you don't really encounter much interactions with the staff. However, there is a staff member that was at the front, directing people when to come in and wait, etc. and she was very nice! I even asked her a few questions about the menu and she was very detailed and kind. I definitely would come back but also in no rush to, since parking wasn't that great.

Community-oriented cafe in the Outer Sunset district!…read more Blackbird is located across the street from Hook Fish, meaning that parking is packed and hard to find, so use public transit! I have gone to Blackbird a handful of times and have enjoyed the experience each time. Blackbird is primarily a bookstore, but they do have an outdoor window where you can order drinks ranging from matcha (Rocky's Matcha, if you're curious about which brand they use), lattes, and tea. They also carry a good amount of pastries (even mid-day, they have a lot of goodies), which I really appreciated. When you order your drink, you have to enter inside the bookstore to wait for your drink to be called, but you can take the time to stroll around and look at their book selection and trinkets. Heads up: the seating here is limited but very lovely. Inside, there are a couple of community tables, but their outdoor area is absolutely magical, with lush greenery and benches for you to enjoy your drinks. This time around, I got one of their seasonal drinks, a honey lavender vanilla latte, and I paired it with an Earl Grey olive oil loaf. The portion of the pastry was generous and moist, while the icing was not too sweet. Overall, a great pick for a cafe if you're in the area.

Matcha latte with whole milk : It's very savory which is great, unsweetened by default. I thought this was one of the better matchas I've had if you want to be able to taste the matcha strongly. Olive oil spelt cake: It reminds me of pound cake. Not that sweet except the frosting/icing. It was okay but as someone who's not as fond of that kind of cakey texture, I'd probably not get it again. They have a really lovely garden and patio in the back. There is also a bathroom. The acoustics and set up for events isn't great, though. It was hard for me to concentrate on the speaker for the book talk since you can hear the noises from the cafe behind and also the sounds of other store customers all around you. That was the only downside, but I think it's a very charming bookstore otherwise.

The inside has nice lighting and both booth and chair seating to pick from and music that's not overly loud to allow work and catching up with friends. Wait time: Not a long wait time early in the morning between time of ordering and receiving your drink. If you are taking it to go there is an outdoor pick up window attached to the outside of the store for convenience and to prevent cluttering inside. Service: Friendly staff and helpful with suggestions on the menu for both drinks and food. Drinks: Ginger Matcha Latte: The strong matcha and spicy ginger flavor paired well with the sweetness of the Oat Milk creating a balanced flavor. Drink size was fair based on other matcha shops. Overall, a nice little tea shop to pick out a good quality matcha beverage, light Japanese style breakfast / brunch, or a sweet treat. Clean and quiet ambience inside with friendly staff.

You order before you get seated when you first walk in. Def gets busy after 12! We got the hojicha latte and strawberry latte. The hojicha was very nice and nutty. It came a little too unsweetened for my liking but they have sweetened out to adjust for your liking! I would def come back to get this! 8/10! The strawberry latte on the other hand was very overpoweringly flavored of the strawberry jam :(. I felt it tasted a bit artificial and didn't really let the matcha taste come through, I would stick to-the hojicha. 4.5/10 For food we got the fish sandwich and the pork katsu sandwich. The fish sandwich was decent, the cheese was cold but the fish was nice and flaky. I wish the fish skin was a bit more crunchy but I did like the slaw and sauce on it. 6.5/10 The pork one was soooo good and juicy. The crust was super crunchy and surrounded by the soft bread was such a nice texture. There was a sweet sauce which balanced the sandwhich nicely. Would get again! 8/10 We also saw the Japanese breakfast bento which looked realllly good and the salmon with matcha broth that others ordered and would def come back to try those! TLDR; would get the pork katsu sandwhich and hojicha. Would come back to try the bento and the salmon in matcha broth!!

I got invited here to shoot some content for them, and I'm very glad for that opportunity…read more Content aside, I did genuinely enjoy their drinks. The strawberry matcha was my favorite. They used a strawberry cream top instead of a puree, which I actually enjoyed. It added a nice creaminess to the drink, and the matcha was very smooth and strong. It worked well together. I also tried their double hojicha, and while I enjoyed how nutty and strong the hojicha was, I did find it a little bit grainy. I wish it was a little smoother like the matcha was. I usually don't drink/like coffee, but the guava cold brew sounded so interesting I couldn't resist. The fruity jasmine tea somehow paired so well with the coffee and made it a nice refreshing drink. I was also lucky enough to try the matcha crepe cake, which I believe they get from Lady M. It had really nice layers and was light, but unfortunately it was a little too sweet for me. Overall a very solid matcha/coffee option in SF. They have a beautiful interior too, perfect for catching up with friends. Servers were sweet as well!
