    Getting Dirty hella early
    Juan V.

    Noe Valley in San Francisco has many good cafes in the area. Lots of coffee places are popping up. The Noe Cafe although not located on Noe street it is in Noe Valley located on Sanchez street. This place has good coffee and parklets outside. They also have lots of restaurant pop-ups show up from time to time. Inside you see lots of plants which gives the place good vibes. I ordered the Matcha Mango. It was a surprisingly delicious combination of smooth and juicy. Inside they sell coffee, tea , and sandwiches. Overall a solid place to enjoy a coffee in the morning and a beer and wine in the afternoon when you are in the Noe Valley. When it comes delicious flavors in takes two to tango like the great combination of matcha and mango IYKYK I go here often whenever I can go to the Noe Cafe on Sanchez street in Noe Valley not the Duboce Triangle

    Had a good time with my bf's cuzn. We were looking for Noe cafe recommended by another cuzn. We walked here to this cafe after lunch. It was busy with customers sitting and enjoying themselves with drinks and snacks. My bf's checked out the pop up Vietnamese food table. She thought it was cool. Then, I ordered a matcha latte and received a heart art on top. While the cuzn she chose an ube iced drink. It was super creamy. We'd just like the match and ube flavor to come out more when we drank it!

    This is a cool little cafe. Nice ambiance with good music and outdoor seating. It is popular and gets busy and parking is a challenge. I got the cold Matcha latte, which was great on a warm day. Wish they had indoor seating too.

    I really enjoyed their 18th street location so decided to have late breakfast at the mothership. Totally different vibe. While 18th St is brand new modern space attached to the Psychiatry Building, (insert joke here), catering to the UCSF staff mostly. This location is for Noe Valley neighbors. Very lived-in, casual vibe. Large parklet. Why the wrap around bench too high for the tables? Inside is the order counter, friendly service. The only inside seating booths for those often cold mornings are taken up with supply boxes, etc. On to the main event, delicious Avocado Toast. A generous slice of artisan bread topped with avocado slices, olive oil & everything seasoning adding to the flavor profile. I know finding perfectly ripe avocados is difficult, so no strikes, but the fruit was one day short of readiness. I added scrambled egg & bacon. Couldn't tell that they microwaved cause there's no kitchen. Bacon was yummy, good balance of crispy & chewy. My London Fog was well prepared. Another minor gripe, everything packaged to-go, cardboard box & disposable recyclable fork & knife. Trying to cut the toast in half produced a mess looking like a rabid raccoon attack. Ok, a bit cranky today, forget all that, really enjoyed my meal & the laid back atmosphere, home to laptop campers, visiting friends, well behaved dogs & baby carriages. Definitely destination worthy. Support Local !

    iced oat latte

    loved the iced oat latte ($7)! the base was very nutty and creamy. only wished it was colder. bonus points for the cute garden vibes of the interior and exterior

    Breakfast sandwich with bacon

    This is my second time visiting Noe Cafe! I really enjoyed it the first time and decided to come back while I was in the area. Ambiance: Area is relatively easy to find street parking. There are lots of dog owners and families walking around, I felt very safe. I do not think there is any indoor seating, but there are some tables outside. Service: amazing! Baristas were very friendly and accommodating, especially the lovely woman on the register. Fast as well. Drinks: I got a vanilla oat latte and I was happy with the drink. Smooth, creamy and full body. A good solid latte. Food: I ordered the breakfast sandwich with bacon, adding a protein option is an extra $2. I would SKIP THE SANDWICH sadly. It came out very small and sad. I am a smaller girl and did not feel entirely full. Presentation aside, it tasted ok but I thought it was a little dry. Brioche bun was not soft. I would not get this again considering it was $10-$11. Maybe try a pastry next time. I would recommend coming to Noe Cafe if you wanted a quick pick me up or just to chat with a friend as they have cute outdoor seating.

    We came here on a weekend morning, and it was packed. Most seating was taken, line out of the door, but overall seemed like a super local spot. Lots of families, dogs, really lovely vibes. The interior seating is reserved for staff, but the WiFi works outside too, so a good spot to work. I got a cortado, and it was solid! Milk was a bit frothy for my taste, but still good. My partner got a vanilla latte, and it was good too. A little bit soft on the vanilla flavor. Really good spot to meet up and grab a coffee with someone. Check it out!

    Tried their seasonal coconut latte here and it was so good! I got it iced with whole milk and I feel like it really brought out the coconut flavor. The espresso wasn't burnt so the drink was very smooth and pleasant to drink. I definitely plan on coming back to get it before it's no longer a seasonal drink!

    This is a nice, casual neighborhood cafe that's dog friendly. I tried the mushroom empanada because all the meat empanadas had green onions, which I have a food intolerance/allergy to. The empanada was delicious and a filling snack! I just wish there's a meat empanada option without green onions. Service was also friendly. This place is also very dog friendly if you're coming here with your dog. There's a dog leash hook in the outdoor seating area, and you can ask the staff for a water bowl for your dog as well.

    Matcha creamsicle latte
    Kiana L.

    This cafe is very family & dog friendly (giving dog treats out when you order!). There are a few booths inside but these tables were reserved for some reason. I waited about 10 minutes for my latte & empanada. I sat in their parklet for an hour using their wifi & doing work on my laptop. The empanada was tasty but a bit expensive, but the latte was interesting! Since many families come here with their kids, I wouldn't recommend this place as the best place to use wifi & work, but the weekend vibes are nice!

    Sahar N.

    Busy, friendly and great strong coffee! They have the works here - from pastries to sandwich's to beverages! Given that this is a neighborhood favorite, you'll want to be mindful of your timing over the weekend. Cozy outdoor seating/great spot to hangout for a bit while you enjoy your goodies.

For the iced latte, shouldn't the milk go in after the espresso? Since it was the other way, the espresso was mainly on top and needed to be stirred.

There was a mix of people studying, working, and chatting with friends; it's a very lively community spot. Despite how chaotic it was, the space was generally clean and the service was great. The cashier made sure to get our names and address us by them. The decor is beautiful, feeling intentionally designed. I thought it was really cool that they have a slow coffee bar area specifically for pour overs (I think) where tech isn't allowed, so people are just supposed to sit and enjoy their coffee. I've never seen that before in a coffee shop. The menu is extensive. Since it was later in the day, the baked goods were half off, which was a nice surprise. I got a blueberry latte and an Asian fusion focaccia bread. Blueberry latte - I liked this! The blueberry flavor was subtle and not overly sweet or artificial tasting. It added a light fruity note to the coffee without overpowering it. Fusion focaccia bread - This was tasty, but I felt the original price was steep ($12). My piece was around 6" x 3". The shiitake mushroom flavor was strong and I loved the addition of scallions and Chinese sausage sprinkled throughout the bread. Overall, this is such a cool addition to coffee culture in the South Bay. It feels like shop from a big city like SF, NYC, or Chicago instead of little ol' SJ. The ambiance and options are solid, and it has a vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. You can be a casual coffee drinker or a coffee snob and it will be a satisfying experience.

The coffee bar is open with the ability to see baristas making drinks as ordered with also a display for pastries to pair with the drinks. Service: The baristas were extremely friendly and diligent on getting drinks swiftly made to order, while also being knowledgeable and helpful with questions on the menu. Wait time: Less than 10 minutes between ordering of food / drink and it being ready when going at 10am on a Sunday. Matcha: The Velvet matcha had a good matcha flavor without being overly sweet and a good balance between ice and actual drink. The matcha foam that goes on top is also not excessive while providing a more deep flavor profile that the actual drink lacks a little in. They do also have lids on a side table to allow for you to take your drink on the go with both a straw option and sip lid built into the same top. The matcha crepe cake was okay but did not really have a strong matcha taste to it and the crepes themselves were not very flavorful either. For Presidio Heights, Q Specialty Coffee is a solid tasting matcha with plenty of natural lighting and a great place to catch up with friends or colleagues while enjoying a beverage.
