Lots of seating inside, saw a lot of people doing work or journaling. Love how big and spacious is and the decorations and vibes are super cute. I got the Yuzu matcha air cream cloud. The drink itself was creamy and smooth and wasn't too sweet. The matcha itself was not too strong and tasted more on the lighter side. I wasn't too sure if I liked the Yuzu matcha cream cloud, while it was light and fluffy the flavor wasn't for me. The Yuzu was too citrusy and overpowering and I was really glad the Yuzu was only in the cream cloud and not in the rest of the drink.
Was I influenced by tik tok? Yes. Was tik tok right? Also yes. But I'm a sucker for a cloud This place has drinks that taste as beautiful as they look. High quality coffee and matcha. I also think it's cool they have like a coffee bean sniffing station where u can smell the different beans they have. I loved the mocha cream cloud. Chocolatey and rich without being overly sweet. The strawberry matcha was also super fun.
I got invited here to shoot some content for them, and I'm very glad for that opportunity. 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!
I loved their matcha! I ordered the strawberry cloud matcha which is sweet but not too sweet. The cloud was nice and thick. I enjoyed the dried strawberries on top-nice touch! And the cups are very durable which appreciate. The place is on the corner with limited parking but we managed to find a spot. The restaurant is nice with a good amount of small tables. It was very busy and a long line but we didn't wait too long. The service was decent. The bathrooms were trashed and there was no toilet paper. It was not near closing either.
We ordered the velvet matcha cloud and the yuzu air cloud matcha latte. Yuzu Air Cloud Matcha Latte: Both were quite good although I think I preferred the velvet matcha cloud more since the heavy cream is slightly less distracting than yuzu from the matcha. The yuzu air cloud matcha was unique though, all the yuzu flavor was in the cream which was not too tart and had a nice flavor to it. I also just really wanted the whipped top which was very cute. The matcha was quite good as well and one of the better ones in the City in my opinion. Lady M Crepe Cake: We also got a matcha crepe cake to share and it was really good since it's Lady M. The cake is awesome and the crepes are a really nice thinness. Overall, would come back once in a while for their drinks, since they are a little expensive, but definitely worth a try!
The matcha yuzu cloud had a beautiful presentation and the yuzu foam was so refreshing and blended well with the matcha. The matcha itself isn't the best quality but the cloud foam is solid. My favorite tho was the mango nitro. The mango juice added the perfect amount of sweetness and the coffee was sooo smooth. I finished it in less than 5 minutes. Will definitely be back to try the guava nitro
This spot was on our list to try while in SF. It was pretty cool to smell the different coffee bean options We ordered two pour over coffees, a hot latte and two strawberry matchas. They didn't offer cinnamon powder or heavy cream. A bit over priced for what you get. Street parking was a bit of a challenge.
I've been wanting to try Q speciality for the longest time so it was fun to add this to my matcha crawl list. Line gets long but ordering goes pretty quickly. I had a hard time choosing between matcha drinks so all my friends and I got different drinks to try. I was a bit nervous seeing the batch make their matcha but the matcha profile was very strong. My favorite would probably be the matcha yuzu latte or the strawberry matcha latte. The strawberry foam was a cream cheese foam so it made it so creamy. I'm mainly taking a star away is because they batch made and for a matcha latte average around $9 which is crazy for the portions. I heard great things about their coffee so I definitely need to try that next.
Velvet cloud match 10/10. I love the cup. 100% recommend this spot. Nice spot!! Service was fast.
We went on a Saturday morning and there was a small line - about 15 min so not bad at all. We got the strawberry hojicha and the strawberry matcha lattes. They also have Lady M crepe cake slices here! We tried the Dubai chocolate one and it was good.
Ambiance: Q Specialty Coffee is a vibrantly bright coffee shop in Presidio Heights with lots of natural lighting and tables to complete work or just relax with family or friends before starting your day. 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.
The line was out the door for this one but it moves quick! We got a bunch of different drinks to try. Hojicha with strawberry cream -- 7/10. The strawberry cream was the best part but the flavor of the hojicha drink itself could be stronger. I like the little strawberry bits on top because it added a nice crunch. Hojicha with hojicha cream -- 8/10. The cream again was AMAZING but the drink itself could do with some more flavor. Matcha with strawberry cream -- 7/10. The matcha flavor of the drink itself could be stronger but the cream was great. Matcha with Yuzu cream -- 9/10. This one was a bit more pricey than the others but the cream had SUCH a strong yuzu flavor and it mixed well with the matcha and made a matcha yuzu drink.
A great place for curated gourmet coffees, matcha and other drinks with a superb pastry selection to match. Bright clean Modern minimalist decor with tiny little round tables just big enough for a laptop and your beverage of choice. Friendly service and definitely fast service midweek, though seating can be a little tight due to everyone camping out here "working from home". :) I really just wanted something simple like the drip coffee, black, no room, but they were out! Hey.. isn't this a coffeehouse!??? lol So I went for the Mocha and a blueberry scone. The Mocha was on point but I have to say the scone had a remarkable moist and almost airy texture with plenty of blueberries. 5/5 on the scone, 4.5/5 on the mocha. The servers were all friendly and seemed to enjoy being here as much as I was! I would love to come back again anytime I am nearby, especially midweek when there aren't any lines!

Both the coffee and matcha were delicious! The difference between the triple matcha (with whipped matcha foam) and the velvet matcha was a bit confusing, but the velvet matcha was delicious, strong, and a fun experience! The flat white with whole milk and single-origin, Ethiopian beans was absolutely delicious! You can really taste the freshness of the coffee's roast. It was so interesting to learn about the zero-emissions in-house Bellwether roasting process. There was also a coffee scent bar where you could compare the scents of different bean origins prior to ordering! The baristas were friendly and personable despite the afternoon rush! read more

My wife and I came here to try out the yuzu matcha latte and an espresso foam latte. The yuzu matcha latte foam was awesome as it had a good amount of yuzu flavor. The matha was very smooth and not sweet. The espresso foam latte that my wife got was extremely sweet so I didn't like it, but the espresso foam was the highlight of the drink. read more

I wish the drinks were larger for the cost. 3.5 stars. A lot of variety of drinks and flavor combinations of coffee and matcha. The interior is minimal. The tables get full during the weekday round 9:30AM. I order a matcha drink tonic which was pretty good. The staff measures out each and every drink, but due to high demand, all drinks are premade. A ton of fruit flavor items mixed with coffee or matcha, like orange espresso or matcha. Matcha cloud drinks are also super delicious. Overall, the matcha flavor is there, but I've had better more tasty matcha that cost less. read more

I live for this Matcha. Plenty of street parking available in the area. I've usually gone in the morning and the line isn't bad- moves quick. You have to use the QR code to see the breakdown of the menu. My favorite is the velvet matcha. It is so creamy and has the perfect sweetness. Honestly wish I had 100 of them. Staff is friendly and their gluten free brownie is pretty good. There are some tables but they are pretty small and the place gets busy. There is not a great place to wait for drinks, so sometimes I feel like I'm in the way. They are quick though, so that is not long. Can't wait to come back! read more

There was a line, but it went fast! The aesthetic of this spot is cute and it's pretty big for an sf cafe. I liked that even with the foam, the drinks are not too sweet. They're also a good size and worth the price! read more

Line is a bit long on the weekends but it moves quickly. Took about 20 minutes on a Saturday afternoon to order. Got a variety of drinks Hojicha w strawberry cream 8/10 - sweet and nutty but it personally could be stronger flavor wise, the strawberry bits were a good addition though Hojicha w hojicha creams 8/10 - similar to the strawberry needs a stronger flavor wise Matcha cloud 7/10 - the matcha was decent but the cream was really good (but it is close to $9...) The interior was nice and modern with a decent amount of seating. More suited for grab and go since the tables are quite small. read more
Q Specialty Coffee is poppin'! We were across the way when we noticed the cafe. My companion shared that it's a popular spot, and since my Dad wanted coffee, we chose to walk over. On a weekend afternoon, it was packed. The line was out the door, and there were no seats. The line goes by fast. You order and pay, and wait for your name to be called. Most of the people here were working while hanging out. The interior is sleek, modern, and vibey. The service by the workers was kind, and they felt bad about getting my name wrong, lol. So I was intrigued by their Yuzu Matcha Air Cream Cloud, which I got with Oat Milk. The barista warned me it would be citrusy. As a Japanese girlie obsessed with yuzu, this didn't scare me; it made me even more excited! The drink was topped with a large amount of foam. The yuzu foam was airy, citrusy, and light--you could taste it well! Upon mixing, it was nicely balanced. I was a fan. They're also known for their coffee, which is a specialty. My Dad and his friend enjoyed their coffees, noting they were strong and good. I'd love to come back to try their other matchas, seeing most customers got that. Q Specialty Coffee is a spot to try out if you're a coffee or matcha drinker. I'd come back to grab another matcha! Find them off California St. with neighborhood and metered parking nearby. read more
As some reviews have mentioned, there was a line to order drinks. The wait overall was not long and our drinks came out maybe 10 minutes after ordering. The cafe itself is very spacious and bright with plenty of seats. We ordered the coco water strawberry cloud and velvet hojicha cloud. The cloud on both drinks were very good! They were thick, creamy, and had good flavor. The hojicha tasted nutty and smooth. read more
Q Specialty Coffee is a super popular, trendy, modern, matcha and coffee drink store. There's usually a line out the door to order. Inside, it's modern with plenty of small, light wooden desks to work or hang out. The first time I came on the weekend, the line was so long, I left. The second time I came on a rainy Tuesday afternoon and there was only a short line inside. I ordered the strawberry matcha cloud, which was an organic matcha latte with strawberry cloud foam on top, plus crumbs of dried strawberries. The matcha was pretty good. The strawberry cloud foam was a nice touch. There was only one size and it was $8.25 plus tax. Q Specialty Coffee also serves espresso drinks, coffee, tea, hojicha lattes, and more drinks with strawberry cloud. For dessert, they have Lady M Mille crepes! They also offer sandwiches, pastries, and cookies. Female worker at the counter was pretty nice. Pretty cool coffee/matcha spot on California St. in San Francisco. read more

Day Visited: Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday Price Range: $$ Parking: Street or metered parking Ordered: Mocha Dream Espresso Cloud, Velvet Hojicha Cloud, Nitro Mango Our favorite SF coffee shop to date! On the days we have gone, the line has varied from being out the door to a quick walk in and order - truly just depends. Regardless of the long line, these drinks are soooo good. Upon entering the coffee shop, you'll see a good amount of seating, but for the times we have gone, the majority of the seats are taken. It is definitely a variety of people socializing, working, reading books, or just hanging out. Parking is metered or street parking, and we haven't had any issue finding parking! It's also in an area where you can shop around (across the street) if you want to grab a bite as well. Our go to orders include the Mocha Dream Espresso Cloud and the Nitro Mango, but we have also gotten the Hojicha Cloud, which is amazing as well. We love the thickness and flavors of the cold foams - you cannot go wrong with any of the cloud drinks. As popular as this place has become, it truly is worth the trip! We will always make a trip whenever we are in the city! read more

Q Specialty Coffee is a nice neighborhood addition. Very popular! Even with Starbucks and Peets here, this place is great as they have great coffee and matcha drinks. Our favorite is the Velvet Matcha Cloud. It's creamy and delicious. Not bitter as with some matcha drinks. The Mille cakes are good but we don't care for their other food, especially not the shredded steak cheese burrito which according to my hubby tasted like freezer section microwave burritos. Service is friendly. Located on California and Locust. read more

Drinks up! Yummy matcha in the city. Q special coffee had a huge line to get in, but it was worth trying Order: - Yuzu Matcha Air Cloud: this was an insane presentation and the cream yuzu top was very fresh and fruity. The cream top ended up folding onto itself and creating a huge mess though. 7/10 - Matcha Strawberry Cloud: huge cup of matcha that took me a minute to finish but it was tasty. The strawberry cloud was a perfect thickness that made the drink very creamy 8/10 read more
lovely cafe with wifi, lots of tables, and a minimalist vibe! there's sniffing tubes where you can smell various coffee beans. I love the variety of matchas offered too. I got the strawberry matcha cloud ($8.25) half sweet and it was just right -- any more would have been too sweet. read more

I ordered the velvet matcha and hojicha and both were delicious. The cream tops were nice and fluffy, not too liquidy. The matcha flavor actually came through in the drink and the hojicha was nice and nutty. The cafe itself was pretty big. Lots of seating with great big windows. The drinks came out quickly but there wasn't a large line when I ordered. read more
Q Speciality Coffee has been blowing up for their trendy, delicious matcha and for good reason! We got there on a Saturday in the early afternoon and there was barely a wait to order. Street parking was quite easy as well. I got the strawberry cloud matcha, which came out after about 5-10 minutes. Strawberry cream was perfectly sweet and rich, which paired well with the smooth and bold matcha! Servers were very friendly. We took our drinks to go, but if you are planning to sit down it gets quite busy. read more
Parking: Residential parking is available on the street. Limited but not impossible. Interior: Aesthetic modern clean vibes for the gram vibes. Seating is available but the shop is packedddd so it might be hard. Good study spot. Wait Time: About 10-15min to order and 10min for drinks. Items Order: 7.5/10 Velvet Matcha Cloud $8 - matcha was good but nothing special 8/10 Caramel Latte Espresso Cloud $8 - coffee was actually yummy. it's strong but different from viet coffee. Nice to try but was not a WOW overall i've seen this place with an hour long line before but after trying the drinks even with essentially a normal wait, the drinks were still not worth going for. expensive + small size + just meh taste + located outside of sf center read more
tried the velvet matcha. it was decent, but didn't really stand out as the best matcha I've had. probably wouldn't wait in a long line just for it. there's a good amount of seating inside, but on a friday afternoon everything was taken, lots of people working and hanging out with laptops. overall, solid cafe to sit and get some work done, but not a must-visit for the drinks. read more

Cafe with a good amount of working space and natural lighting. It was very busy though and a lot of the seats were taken up. Staff was kind and patient with explaining drinks, especially since this location is newer. I got the caramel latte cloud espresso and really enjoyed it!! All drinks come 50% sweet, which is great for someone like me who doesn't like things too sugar-y. The cold foam on top was light and delicious. They only had one size and it was pretty big cup. The applewood bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on brioche bread was also amazing. Very savory, not too heavy either. It was mostly just bread though. Definitely coming back to try their other drinks when I'm in the area! read more
The cutest coffee shop! There's only street parking here. I ordered the mocha latte and if you like chocolate milk, you'll love this! Also tried their yuzu matcha. It was very matcha forward with a slight hint of yuzu, which made it very refreshing! read more

Super cute coffee shop that makes amazing matcha! I typically make my own matcha at home since it's so much more cost efficient, but every once in a while I like to treat myself and try out matcha spots in the city. The ambiance is very modern and spacious. A great spot to catch up with friends when it's not too busy. I ordered the velvet matcha cloud, and it was so delicious. It's a matcha latte with matcha foam topping. I ordered it less sweet, and it was perfect for me. The matcha was smooth, robust, and earthy. I know they specialize in coffee and have a display of coffee beans and scents in the store, but honestly they really nailed it with their matcha. Will definitely come back when I want to treat myself again. read more

Q Velvet has become our go-to spot whenever we're craving coffee or matcha. Everything we've tried has been consistently delicious, and you can tell they put care into every drink. Atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are always friendly, making it a great place to relax or catch up with friends. read more
Added this spot to my list and finally got to visit! We were coming from sacramento so we came by around 5:10 and they close at 5:30, however the worker was super helpful as it wasn't first time. He was super friendly as well. This is for 2/25. I got the velvet matcha, yuzu matcha and pistachio crepe cake for around $31. The drinks were around $8 each which honestly is not bad at all. I love that you can adjust your sweetest. I did the velvet at 75% and tbh that was pretty sweet so I do recommend keeping their standard 50%. I got the yuzu at their normal. The only difference between these two is the "cloud" which is the cream on top. The yuzu one is so fresh and light. The flavor is very distinct but not overpowering. I always love seeing yuzu on the menu. The velvet one was creamy and smooth. As for their ambiance, the cafe is super spacious. Lots of seating and natural light. They also have coffee here!! Will definitely be back to try more :) read more

Overall: 4.8/5 Spacious and feels open, aesthetic, can get very busy, minimalist decor. You can smell the different coffee beans near the front. I prefer more BITTERsweet matchas so I thought their matchas here are a little more on the sweet side. Drinks are served with open caps but they're still provided at the counter. Drinks: - Velvet Matcha Cloud: matcha feels thin but strong, creamy, recommend 50% sweet - Strawberry Matcha Cloud: can't really taste the strawberry (subtle), matcha is sweet and creamy read more

Stopped by Q Specialty Coffee in SF and this place is such a solid find. The ambiance is super clean and minimal with a modern coffee lab feel. Everything looks really intentional, from the setup behind the counter to the way drinks are presented. It's bright, calm, and a nice spot to just sit and chill for a bit :)) Service was fast and the staff were really friendly. They took the time to explain a few drinks and gave good recommendations, which I always appreciate at spots like this ! Coco Wave Matcha Cloud Really refreshing. The coconut water keeps it light and slightly sweet, while the matcha cloud on top adds that creamy, earthy balance. Super smooth and easy to drink. Velvet Hojicha Cloud This one was my favorite. Deeper, more roasted flavor from the hojicha with a really creamy texture from the cloud. Less sweet, more rich and comforting. Overall, everything felt well thought out--from the drinks to the experience. Definitely a spot I'd come back to, especially if you're into matcha/hojicha drinks with a more elevated twist. read more
